You do you but that's not "cars only" by definition. Part of the fun is how stupid it gets trying to run people down in small areas when they're armed and you're not.

When do you find yourself switch to the UMP, and why? What's so different between an M4/SCAR on full auto and an UMP? I'm really bad so I don't know

I tend to use my M4 or SCAR for long-range single shots. I also play in groups exclusively and people are usually trying to take up all the 5.56 ammunition available, so it's easier to keep only one gun that uses that ammunition type and use a different ammunition for my secondary weapon. People tent to not fight over 9 mm like they do with 5.56 or 7.62.

That's a really interesting maintenance window.

It's an interesting maintenance window because Bluehole considers China to be their core market. Maintenance is done during the least busiest time in China, which is usually when most Americans are playing.

Did not realize this, it makes sense then, it would be nice if there were serverwide messages that told you maintenance was happening....

There's a lot of things that Bluehole needs to do and the unexpected popularity of this game has utterly crushed this new company.

I have absolutely zero background or knowledge of how to make software or video games and do not pretend to or do I make cheap jabs about it.

I wish the AKM was competitive with the M4 just so 5.56 ammunition wasn't at such a premium.

Star Man

I don't mind that the M4 is the best general purpose weapon in the game, but the only thing that remotely compares to it is the SCAR, and it's not uncommon to use both of those guns at the same time. There needs to be a 7.62 weapon that can compete with the M4 that doesn't come out of a crate. It just seems like that un a sqiad, everyone is looking for 5.56 because we've all found a SCAR or M4 and we're all picking up a tactical stock to save when we manage to find an M4 of our own.

An AK-74 that can have as many attachments as the SCAR would be perfect.

I finish off a downed enemy unless there's still another target immediately available. I understand it's not optimal compared to finding their friends but I guess I'm just mean? I dunno, it's what I wouldn't want done to me so...thats how I know I should do it them?

Part of me just wants to "accomplish something" in the round.

I think it depends on the situation.

It's useful to keep players that you've knocked out alive so that when your team finishes off the last member of that squad, you'll get the toast for the whole enemy squad dying and you'll have confirmation that they're all gone. But finishing off an opponent that's knocked out also means that they can't be revived and can't feed information to their team.

I think it's best to leave a downed player alone when you're in a hot spot and there's several squads around because you probably just don't have the time, especially in the first few minutes of the game when you need to conserve ammunition. If it's just a fight between your squad and another, then finish them off if you can.
