This game has some absolutely amazing moments where you clinch victory at the literal last second.

They are decent counters but the problem is it relies on you having those and you can't counter pick items mid game. So that combo is incredibly incredibly effective in almost every cash out point and the only counterplay is to constantly waste slots on equipment that is really only useful against a small handful of comps.

the sniper rifle seems really useless with the destructible environments and how aks/pistols dont have much bullet falloff either. you can countersnipe with your ak, or just use an rpg or c4 to blow up their perch. itd be one thing if snipers could bring a sidearm, but as is theyre basically screwed.

Good. Snipers suck in most games and I'm glad they're trash here. I'd way way way prefer they be undertuned than too strong. Bear in mind the game is hitscan so the snipers are super easy to use so it's important they don't ohk anything but light to the head.

The worst part of queueing with 2 is invariably getting matched with someone playing a light sniper or melee that has the worst game sense or aim you've ever seen.

You have a finite amount of items you can keep on standby but more than enough slots imo E: also glitch is strong against any character with limited mobility, so most heavies and a lot of mediums. It's hardly esoteric

I played a match of Bank It on Monaco against a team that would have a sniper pick off people in transit and a pair of lights with grapple to yoink the coins. Hard to say if that was actually more effective than doing literally anything else with a premade though

Stick and move, etc.

I never would have known if no one told me. the guy sounded okay but the girl sounded insanely awkward at basically all times, especially whenever she tried to make a joke. very breathless and awkward delivery plus they seem to have used AI to generate a ton of lines that are useless, like whenever one of them makes a joke you get the other one going 'haha, thats right' 'yeah,' 'indeed,' 'true,' like 5 secnds later, unsubtitled. plus there being diagetic commentary off ingame speakers by an entirely different voice. its a weird amount of fluff and seems like it exists just because it was easy to cram in as much as they wnated

the idea of the announcers is fun and really adds to the virtual death game vibes but like what i like about announcers when i watch stuff is how they are humans because i like humans

even if they wnated to go with the idea that the announcers are insincere and fake i think a human VA with good direction could pull that off way better

I think if no one talked about it being AI no one would have ever given it any thought. It's leading this way eventually, all announcer type voice overs will soon be AI because it's a thousand times easier and cheaper to get them to say a million different and dynamic lines. I imagine they'll eventually have the announcers voicing specific actions which is why players have auto generated "safe names". Personally I think that's neat.

Anyone have thoughts on the Light class? I didn’t try it but I felt running 2 medium / 1 heavy or vice versa worked very well. I’m thinking Light needs some of its unlocks and really good team comm to be effective, more so than M and H

I disabled announcer audio after a couple matches because it sucked poo poo and only found out it was AI gen afterwards. FastestGunAlive posted:Anyone have thoughts on the Light class?

I’m thinking Light needs some of its unlocks and really good team comm to be effective, more so than M and H The silenced pistol felt a little too busted and the starting SMG too anemic. You get a decent set of utility, the taser seems strong although I was mostly on the receiving end. Both the grapple and dash felt useful but giving up vertical mobility is rough.

cloaked melee was pretty good, you could clean up a whole team if you picked the timing right and you could do goofy steals

Do frag grenades/medium's grenade launcher blow up buildings? For my own limited testing I shot a wall with the china lake a few times and it didn't seem to do anything.

You know the stuff the announcers say now? Just hire someone to say that exact same stuff but this time without emphasizing words and syllables in insane ways like the bot does.

the heavy grenade launcher does some destruction iirc frankly poo poo can get destroyed so fast in this game, it doesnt need to be faster... sucks to be medium if you wanna break poo poo though.

Neither does frag grenades. Explosive barrels, sledgehammer, RPG, c4, heavy rush ability and breaching charge are the only thing that do destruction iirc

frag grenades definitely destroy walls/floors, but theyre very weak against those so i wouldnt rely on them for a quick escape
