If it did, then it would come out of his speakers and go back into his microphone, where I'd be able to hear it. The rest of your post is pretty spot on.

Player 1 says something over VOIP Sound comes out of Player 2's speaker Player 2's mic picks up audio from the speakers and transmits game audio and/or voip whenever Player 2 hits their PTT key. SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:I'm surprised I haven't seen a plague of glazs myself considering this is a modern military shooter. I guess with the way gun play works in the game they dont need to be a sniper to have an inflated sense of skill and become operator as fuk. I've noticed the further from release you look the less popular Glaz is, it took a while but I think people eventually realised that you can't just be the dead-weight sniper every game.

the only operators i think are hard enough to consider not taking are Thatcher and SmokeParadigmata posted:Also people that get angry are usually bad players or wont improve, because they cant control their emotions and seem to be bad at adapting and learning from mistakes or just outright will blame someone else for their incompetence. yeah this is why they are stuck playing alone in a competitive game where so few people do it being in a group gives you an automatic advantage at the lower ranks i consider myself a very casual player in this game but i will play 5th wheel to an organized group whenever i see one in discord and ranked is fun as hell because of trying to work together as a team regardless of which operators you choose, not the outcome of the little pixel jpeg next to your profile avatar. i bounce between gold number ranks and i'm sure if i played ranked more regularly it would be platinum - not at all because of my skill but because of my willingness to assist my teammates and talking on the microphone in discord. the people i play with know i'm bad but they have never ever kicked me out of the group or blamed me because of it even if we lose. you won't see me blasting headshots as often but that doesn't stop me from locking down an entire chokepoint by expending ammo at it in irregular intervals. things like suppressing fire, communication and using shields or traps to harass the enemy without even having to directly hit them all have a huge affect on the flow of a round I think. another thing you can do is just take a shotgun and blow giant loving holes in the wall to confuse the other team regardless of if you're on offense or defense.

But how is Thatcher hard to play? You just throw his grenade down where the breacher asks and then you throw another one inside the objective room. Is his guns supposed to be bad/hard to use? I don't even know what constitutes a good gun anymore or a gun that I like using. I like going Rook/Doc because I feel their skills can be super useful but end up feeling like I'm gimping my team because of my weapon choices.

I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for just how quiet the 3 speed guys are, it feels like it's too easy to have an Ash or Hibana get the drop on you.

Just throwing poo poo where the breachers mark works fine most of the time, but other times you need to use some initiative and that's where things like knowing the room layout and where gadgets are is necessary.

Thief posted:the only operators i think are hard enough to consider not taking are Thatcher and Smoke Smoke feels like he's in a good place now even w/o the ACOG. The limb damage change and new destruction system feels like it did a lot for shotguns; you can shoot open rotations with far fewer shells if you aim parallel into the wall, and hipfire feels really consistent now. Extended Barrel isn't bad on the MAC11 now that you don't really have to care about recoil either. Still kinda torn between him and Echo, but I can see myself playing more Smoke once people get better at spotting the drone.

They were gift when we shipped the game so about 500+ devs are using/used them and I never heard someone mentioning they didn't work. Granted i didn't engage in this topic with everybody but at one point everyone was using them to play Siege.

I've had countless people in-game complain about mic issues. There was a guy in the old thread who emailed the manufacturer of his headset and they replied saying it's a problem with siege. Sometimes it doesn't recognise the mic, sometimes the mic volume is too low. It's a problem.

Using the USB DAC means that mic output volume is low as gently caress and there's no real way to increase it in game.

Speaking of loudness though, while my perception might be skewed by living in land where literally everyone yells into Cold War era radio equipment for in-game voice communications, I've never faced any audibility issues. I mean, my own asides, but they are not game specific. I have a slightly weird-rear end microphone, so regardless of the program I am using it in, there will be no sound recorded with Windows microphone volume level below 93. As soon as it is 93 I can be heard yelling over from the hallway.

Christ no wonder. Front panel can be really bad for audio especially if you got a cheap case as it uses an extra (often cheap) wire to connect to your sound card. Front panel should be a phone charger and that's about it :p e: VV yeeeah the MP5 is one of my favorite weapon. Hard fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Dec 8, 2016 |

Never feel bad picking Rook, it's what I pick all the time and I consider myself between slightly bad to mediocre. Just by doing so, you make everyone else on your team better passively, so they have more flexibility to clutch the round for you.

Just throwing poo poo where the breachers mark works fine most of the time, but other times you need to use some initiative and that's where things like knowing the room layout and where gadgets are is necessary. This is how I feel. Weapon loadouts, armor and speed aside if you look at him compared to the other operators I feel like his special ability is very situational and you won't see him being as useful to a disorganized team compared to practically any other attacker. Even IQ can just skim the edges of the building and pop kapkans through wooden boards. Or she can also find the bomb/containers before the team even breaches the building more often than not if the drones are suffering bad luck. And since every player is forced to use a drone regularly I'd guess someone like Twitch will just come naturally to a player. Overall I don't think it matters much. At the worst it should only take like 3 hits to kill another player regardless of who you are. Things like team composition are overrated I think, it is really hard to pick any 5 of the operators and find yourself gimped. Actually getting locked out of an objective is so rare that when it does actually happen it's really just more impressive on the part of the defenders.

I feel the opposite. Thatcher can just toss emps and maybe get stuff that might matter, but in disorganized IQ struggles to be useful because her ability is more useful with call outs.

Same, Thatcher feels like a very straightforward pick for a disorganised play. There's a Thermite or Hibana in your team? Piggyback them to the nearest wall, then throw grenade when they ask or look at you with gadget in their hands. Otherwise, just throw it at the walls or doors around the bad guys, but not in so Jager doesn't nullify the EMP. His AR is very good either, so it really feels like one of the few safety picks where you can't really gently caress things up.

Admiral Joeslop posted:I solved my sound problem by installing Equalizer APO and finding settings that made my sound better and louder. Probably HyperX Cloud II if it hasn't been said already. They also have step down versions of the headset that remove things like the mic, the usb DAC, and the swapable ear pads if you are tight on money. If things are super tight you can also opt to get the HyperX Cloud Stinger ($49 on amazon) which uses the exact same drivers as the Cloud Core and exact same mic as well only now its non removable and its also now a fully plastic headset. But generally you'll get something that sounds on par with the Cloud line of headsets with the Stinger. If you somehow find yourself with 150-200 dollars burning a hole in your pocket and you absolutely must have a gaming headset then the Sennheiser GAME ONE ($168 on amazon) is a really solid option. And if you literally have no money at all: Sennheiser HD202 ($24 on amazon) is probably your best bet. No integrated mic but you can get the Zalman Zm-Mic1 ($7 on amazon) and you'd easily have one of the cheapest but best sounding headphones both to you and to the people you play with for well under $40.

IQ's gadget being blue on white or white on blue (I rarely use it TBH) plus drones showing up makes it a massive pain in the rear end, yes. Daytime maps especially you're going to have a hard time actually seeing objects because of how bright the lighting is.
