Garnet and black? More like gold and blue or whatever the fuck colors these are

Ineffiable posted:

I'm not really sure about this. I had a 50% boost run out in the middle of the match, and slapped on a 100%.


I looked at my ribbons, and I saw the same ones going at 300 points from the beginning of the match, and I saw the same ones I got later on for 400 points.


I wasn't paying super close attention/recording it but yeah, I'm fairly certain it's per action.

It looks like it shows the actions at the correct rate, but the boost score at the end is what it would be if you had boosted the entire round.

Keep in mind the turn arounds were even including my dumbass who is terribad at the game and was using only a tricked out P226. So in reality it only takes 4 goons, not 5, to turn the tides.

You keep selling yourself short. Most of my matches I get 3 or less kills and capture maybe one or two flags. I've heard (and watched) you dropping ammo, health, etc... You're doing more than most pubbies even if it's not all in kills.

Considering there's a glitch out there that sometimes shows you more exp than you really earned at the end of the round which leads to you leveling up but you don't actually level up, I think it's related to multiple boosts in a game.

I expect boosts work as intended, but for the 'total points boosted' it multiples it by the current boost you have active, even if you were in a different one for the beginning of the match.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Is there any tips for grinding out new pistols? I'm using my trusty tricked out P226 and I proactively switch to the drat thing constantly, hell its my gun with my third most kills (4th being C4) and yet I just barely now unlocked the mp443.

I play conquest large mostly and I'm terrible at the game so that's probably part of it. But I do try to cap flags like a mad man.

The LVG is amazing on Locker. It really ruins the map if more than one person uses it though.

Hardcore mode, team deathmatch or domination. I prefer domination as it tends to funnel people to specific areas. Have your perks set to defensive so you get the armour boost (gives you more of a chance of surviving a face off). Rock a laser and get used to hip-firing into ads, because you're gonna either need to get the drop on people or start firing first. And if it's just unlocking new guns rather than the attachments you're after, use your boosts. I find upping my sensitivity also helps to get used to being real twitchy. Keep sprinting to a minimum unless out in the open, helps not to rush into a firefight, and where possible keep to close in environments.

If you don't often do pistols only type gameplay, might take a while to get used to, but give it an hour or two and you'll be a twitchy as gently caress pistolero. This game might be slightly less forgiving than BF3, but you can still hold your own with a pistol.

Slam advice: They stick to things and detonate not by pressure, but proximity. So once pubbies start spotting these on the ground, start lacing walls of bottlenecks and chokepoints with them. On Lancang, the bridge with the big rig is an example.

I went from the lower part of the scoreboard to most of the time in the top ten. Had a few 2nd and 3rd places even. I'm capping points dropping mines and shooting anything that moves.

I'm 3700 from the shorty shotty. I'm really close to my goal of the Glock 18. I'm a Glock man IRL, I wanna be in game too, even if it is a different model than the one I carry.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

You know what I just figured out? If you're the side passenger in a little bird you can select your AT-5 mines and lay them. They end up on the ground rigged to go exactly where the little bird was flying over. So if you watch the mini map you can put them on roads and such that you're actually a few hundred feet above. I am such a little bird whore. I spot like crazy for whoever a flying and run out of ammo shooting guys at close range.

Honestly, this is a pretty douchebag free zone(except Minky, that horrible bastard). Did you read the OP? Beelz goes through a lot of trouble on his own time and dime to make these OPs, not to mention the awesome stats site that we can all register for. So he understandable gets annoyed when people don't even read to the third paragraph of the OP. He's not really going to wish anyone dead(maybe Minky), it's all in good, dark-humored fun. Anyway, basically, if you find our names on the stats site, we WANT you to friend us. We're always looking for new people, regardless of skill level. Some of us are amazing at this game(DINO crew), some are average(me), some are horrible(Minky), but everyone's welcome, and the game is exponentially more fun when you play with people that not only work towards actually winning, but that you can have awesome conversations with while you do it. So really, don't be offended, register on the stats site, spend 10 minutes friending everyone on your platform, and come join us!

Yeah it's funny... I've never seen the Staff shell used on PC, not even once.

I go to hang with my buddy who's in town and who's brother got a PS4 and boom, all staff all the time. It gets a free crit even from the front?! Ridiculous.

By the way, holy poo poo is the PS4 controller a loving MASSIVE improvement over the PS3. I...

I...

I flew again. It felt so right with a controller, dancing in the sky, rolling rank twos and rank threes with the garbage miniguns the little bird has. It's a shame they screwed the air balance so much because flying the little bird is more fun now than it ever was; really if they would just take the mobility hit away and cut the repair rate by two thirds, I'd be good with that.

Oh Christmas pubbies :allears:

"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
I had an interesting night morning of games. Started out with a 15-1 match on OpLocker with my trusty 12-gauge, but I had to switch my Recon's shotgun out to a DMR since I kept getting caught with my pants down in mid-range fights on other maps. I'm in love. As long as you work the DMRs strength and keep distance between you and the enemy, it works very well and takes me back to using the pistol in the original Halo (yes, that pistol).

I finally tried Air Superiority too since I was afraid to before since I'm poo poo at flying. It actually wasn't too bad. Now if I can learn how to shake ~* ace pilots *~, I might stand a better chance.

The highlight though was when playing Obliteration and listening to these two clan clowns in my squad argue with one another over who was better at the game, who was tougher IRL, and who made more money and was more successful. This very stupid e-peen waiving contest went on for over three entire rounds and I wish I could have recorded all of it. I was extremely close to calling them both faggots and to kiss and make up already but it was already 3 in the morning and didn't want to wake anyone up. Never change, XBox Live. :allears:

Yeah, I told you I hooked up my 360 controller to the PC and I can actually fly and hit things like that. Some PC players are gods using the keyboard, but I just can't get my brain to work out how to adjust correctly using it and the controller is the only thing that makes sense.
