It seems to be the most popular shotgun still. I've seen more people using the m97 backbored or hunter lately though. Still never seen anyone use the 12g

The Lowdog posted:I took a break from this for a couple of months and now the 10-A Hunter is no longer functioning as an "I win" button at preposterous ranges, so I am assuming they nerfed it somewhat. Is there a new go to shotgun that stands out above the others? Is the 10-A Hunter still about as good as it gets? If you felt the 10-A was functioning differently at preposterous ranges than before, I can happily say you're experiencing a placebo nerf! One shot kills happen at the same ranges it did before. The only effective nerf was spread if you kept firing the shotgun without pause (it's not a very long pause either). If a player can't kill a target after firing two or even three times, that's on them, not the gun. Live At Five! posted:It seems to be the most popular shotgun still. I've seen more people using the m97 backbored or hunter lately though. Still never seen anyone use the 12g The M97 is a pretty good gun for rapid fire multi kills in knifefighting range, the 10-A completely outclasses it and still does but I suspect a lot of people never gave it a chance until after the 10-A 'nerf'.

It makes me very happy to know they haven't hosed (too much) with the only assault weapon I seemed to be able to accomplish things with. I suspect not playing any FPS for a couple of months is to blame for my terrible games last night then.

Frontlines looks like a neat mode that will be quickly ruined by bad PC users insisting on 64 players.

The best weapon skins are the ones that are either pimped out, battle damaged or seem to have been redesigned by a 18th century gunsmith. The worst ones are the generic camo pattern ones.

A lot of the blue quality skins are much better than the legendary drops for the same weapon. Gold-plated legendaries notwithstanding.

I'm just on the trial, but does anyone actually play 40p Operations? I've tried several times now and no dice.

You know, it NOT being a clusterfuck with 10 snipers sitting at spawn and a guy around every corner, except made a lot worse by the limited map space.

I prefer 40 player as well but I've learned to embrace the chaos of 64 player ops. I'll only play it occasionally but I've had some good times in 64p. I'd play more if it wasn't quite as time consuming. Frontlines mode looks great though. It's be especially nice in back to basics so I hope that's an option

I agree, the M97 Hunter just feels much more forgiving than the 10-A if you miss a shot or turn a corner into a small group of enemies

So apparently the French weapons for the DLC are apparently unlockables BUT the requirements for them are pretty much easy to get casually playing rather than tedious medal grinding so there is that.

Also, fortunately the requirement isn't kills in a round, just 10 mortar kills in general. Unrelated, has Dice made any changes to how crates vs pouches work or are pouches still the clearly superior choice?

If you really wanna rack up mortar kills just play any operation. Especially as defenders on the Suez map where you can easily pick them out against the light-colored dunes.

Mortar kills are pretty easy in general just due to people's tendency to bunch up on points or sniper perches. A couple weeks aimed HE shells will ruin a sniper's day real fast. Never us the airburst, though. It isn't worth it.

I guess the thing with airburst/HE mortars is that airburst will always need 2 hits no matter what to kill someone at full health but if you hit someone really close with an HE they're dead?

Hot Diggity! posted:Pouches still pro Bummer. My brain has been broken by the fact that crates were always the better option since 2142. I guess crates are better in that you can re-arm an entire squad but everyone has to stop and the life-span mechanic means surely you'll need to toss down at least 2 crates. Kibayasu posted:I guess the thing with airburst/HE mortars is that airburst will always need 2 hits no matter what to kill someone at full health but if you hit someone really close with an HE they're dead? Exactly, added bonus is that you can also use them to harass and destroy light tanks. Also great at damaging and destroying buildings. I notice a lot more pub snipers are running flares now, so now is the time to mortar!

Yes, also you can reliably ding vehicles for at least 8 if you're half decent. If you get at least 3 people with airbursts you can create death zones, but as an individual weapon it's not worth the slot.

Mortars also got slightly better in that you can/could dump smoke/gas now? Or am I just thinking of the truck.
