Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yeah I think Castle needs some big changes next, he's a trap pick in almost every situation.

Now, I'd be surprised to go a match where he didn't show up.

This happens every time there's a big operator change like this, for what it's worth. It hasn't even been a week since the update, things will settle down a bit before long.

Glaz is basically old Blackbeard that you can actually shoot in the face

He's fine now imo

Smoke generation is usually white phosphorus, which reaches temperatures of like 3000F while its generating smoke.

New Glaz is fine and also encourages more use of Castle on windows which is kind of cool hth

What? Glaz counters Castle hard. The rifle can make killhole through window barricade only he can effectively see through, and can break the barricade with 5 shots when he wants to.

I won a match because twitch didn't bring breeches and I castled the objective room.
You can still shoot their feet as they breach too. But yeah it's hella bad and needs something done about it.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

I'd consider making his barricades require physically beating the poo poo out of, or at least breach charging. All or nothing when you take it down.

Has anyone figured out how the killcams work? Half the time they dont even show the the person being killed or the one doing the killing, meanwhile othertimes, seemingly at random it will follow a grenade or puck or something and its hilarious. Then today I had this 3rd person looking down on the victim camera which I've literally never seen before.

Just do it like every other gadget for every other defense operator and let your teammates phase through it like it's not there.

Third person killcams are because of environmental objects, IIRC. So fire, frost traps, smoke cans. There's also a separate camera for C4, but only if the C4 attaches itself to a wall/floor before detonating. If you detonate midair, it'll just be the camera view of tossing and detonating.

...but it is still fun

try sitting in a hallway and just firing single shots or tiny bursts to gently caress with anyone hiding. every time you pause, the enemy may think you're reloading or that it is safe to peek. and chances are you'll still have 50 bullets left

I've found that there's often three - not always, though. I'm not sure if that's because I'm (possibly) playing at a different difficulty level, though.
But yeah, the best solution is to draw them out (either right at the start, or a bit later on when you've cleared out some of the regular schmos. (Since otherwise you'll get a load of them coming out at you, as well)

Why casual? I can't think of any reason not to play ranked.

edit: Oh maybe some people care about getting a good tryhard rank, but I find in casual I get steamrolled all the time, ranked matches are much more even.
