Sometimes I play really well. Other times I get the drop on a guy and fire half my magazine to the right of my target and he turns around and casually murders me. I had an out of body experience as this was happening just before I died where I was like "why am I aiming there I should aim more to the left"

Thanks for listening to my story of badness.

It's hard for me to tell hackers from non-hackers in this game apart sometimes because hell, most of the time I die it's definitely because I was out of position or some stupid mistake I made so I don't even watch killcams because I know what happened already. So because of that I can only say I've really seen a single hacker - some joker who killed me and three other people in a moving vehicle with a single M4 burst.

Those two videos appear to be pretty egregious though.

I watched one of the multicasts and it was surprisingly entertaining for the ten to fifteen minutes I watched. Gotta stop now but would watch again.

Edit: Lots of teams are surviving until later making the final few circles absolute crazy houses. I can imagine that the flip side is the early game is when, as s spectator, you'd go and get a drink or take a piss or something

Listen, someone bought me a copy of Tarkov and I played it for a solid two or three weeks. It has some interesting things going on for it, but as a multiplayer game is a complete failure. The ping (actual, not reported) is atrocious and multiplayer encounters feel completely invalid. There's no sense of actual fairness to the combat, gear aside. So maybe the gun play should be better than PUBG but you can't seperate the gun play from the lag, so the net result is garbage.

Oh, and then there's the 5 second door lag.

There is a real fun gem of a game hidden behind all of the bullshit. But as the developer is small and constantly loving up I have zero expectations it comes to fruition. Besides that, their ultimate vision for the game seems to actually detract from what makes the game appealing now. It's all supposed to end up as a super-hyper realism survival simulator making sure you stay hydrated and eat enough and take a poo poo at your house or whatever and loading the bullets into a magazine one at a time and other poo poo like that.

The gun balance isn't great but there have been very few times I've died in this game - where both me and my target had ARs - where I thought 'drat, he had a slightly better gun than me' rather than 'I was ouytplayed' so, imo, the gun balance isn't terrible either.

Yep, playing solo probably accounts for like 1% of all my games so I don't play it alot, but I only have one solo dinner . It was an amazing game though, I was in the plane when a friend showed up to join me so I decided to drop school to get back to the lobby quick. I survived and the final circle ended up being just outside the building to the North. To pass the time I cleared all of Rozhok and the small compounds to the West before circling back. I think I had 15 kills.

I just watched a Shroud replay and he spent the first five minutes complaining about.... glass? Threatening to quit if they didn't get rid of it? His main reasoning was performance and since sound plays an important role in this game he suggested the sound of glass breaking can be replaced by making the sound of vaulting as loud as glass breaking.

Idk I thought that was interesting.

Honestly I'll take SMG + any DMR/SR as my favorite loadout. It's not just the SLR. I feel ARs have fallen real hard. The amount of times where I've said "drat I really wish I had an AR right now" is vanishingly small.

But then again I'm bad so you shouldn't listen to me at all.

I was briefly famous last night when me and another goon were killed by Shroud and Just9n.

Brief in that he murdered me so casually and quickly that I was only on his stream for less than 5 seconds.

My duo was in a firefight with the 2nd guy he killed. What amazes me is that he got shot by the 2nd guy, approaches the house to kill him and still has the presence of mind to hear my footsteps, spin, kill me, and then continue on as if nothing happened.

I've been watching some of this and it's actually not terrible to watch. The spectator/broadcaster view is pretty neat. Just watched a solo win a 2v1 final circle using the old "hide in the grass" technique. It's also kind of interesting to what pros prioritize in these games.
