I prefer holographic sights because they are much cuter than red dots. Also it sounds way more complex than a basic rear end red dot

Red dots are objectively better becasue you still have the same aim point (A red dot) but they don't take up an ungodly amount of screen space like the holo sights while you're zoomed in. Not much of a difference really but it's enough for me to never use a holo sight if I have a red dot handy.

Holo sights just look absurd on KAR's and some of the other, more rounded weapons. And for that reason, I'm out.

Finally won my first match, in a 3 man squad, and I was alive at the end which I never thought would happen. Our mics were muted and we were separated - the two of them started in Severny and I started in Novorepnoye. I survived a red zone while being uncovered after crashing my vehicle. This is the best game.

So this game doesn't play nice with triple monitors at all. Every other game all 3 of my screens go black for 15-30 seconds, and then when they come back the game has closed itself.

It's in the latest patch notes that you shouldn't do multi monitor.

quote:

Bug fixes:

Added more support for non-standard aspect ratios. The game will now display at the correct FOV on aspect ratios ranging from 4:3 to 21:9. Multi-monitor environments such as Eyefinity are not recommended at this time.
Fixed an issue with the compass direction not displaying correctly

I'm only running it one a single monitor. It just doesn't seem to like the 3 monitor set up in general. I guess that shouldn't be surprising given all the optimization issues it has.

I have two monitors and play on my main screen. 60-80 fps with drops here and there. What are your specs?

It should be more than powerful enough to handle this game. When it's running I have 0 fps issues. It's only these crashes that's bothering me. I do run displayfusion to manage my 3 monitors. Not sure if that's having a bad interaction with the game.

I love it when you basically end up in the center of the final zone on your initial drop, and spend the entire round shotgunning people in the face while hiding in a closet.

So I found out tonight watching Fairlight_Excalibur that the beginning spawn map is actually a place you can get to. Its in the top right corner and can be reached by boat. Looks like a pretty good loot spot for anyone willing to ride the blue wall.

Does the red dot give you the tiny bit of zoom when you hold shift though?

Also - you can steady your aim while you hold shift, I've played so long without realising that.

I'm with emanresu tnuocca. Games like this I like to be able to gently caress with the control setup, fumble around with all of the different weapons and mechanics, and even explore environments in a way that allows me to have access to all of it without any danger around. At the very least there needs to be a way to start a local game without any other players. Ideally it would be the following... a mode where:

  • You can teleport around on the map at any time.
  • You can spawn any item the game has on the ground right in front of you any time.
  • You can spawn various AI targets with varying levels of defensive gear to shoot at wherever you want.
  • Has the ability to disable red zone and blue zone encroachment so you can just gently caress around indefinitely.

Given what the official website says about the ability to mod the game, I imagine none of the above is ever going to be in the main game and they'll rely on some dedicated nerds to create these test ranges. So your advice is probably the best possible course of action.

IT'S ALL TURNED TO SHIT!
This game is very janky. It's not a problem because it's Early Access and I'm having fun regardless, but when people said this was very solid I didn't realise they meant specifically compared to games like DayZ and H1Z1. I went in thinking it was almost standard game release quality and it's definitely not that.

I'm hoping next weeks patch does something for that, getting really tired of warping players and hit registering being all over the place.

Most recent match, I killed like 4 people in a row with short M16 bursts no problem, got into top 5 and found a guy camping in a shed. He shot the door when I was way out of it, which somehow counted as hits.
I chased him around the shed emptying nearly a whole clip into him, complete with blood splatters showing hits. He turns around and kills me with one UMP shot (full level 2 armor + level 3 helmet).

Pretty much all of my games end in similar crap.

M16 burst is crazy deadly up close. It shreds people in seconds, it's wonderful.

Just a reminder that holding your weapon up when facing a wall is clientside and for everyone else the whole gun will stick trough the wall giving away your position.

You get the zoom on steady even with no optic. It's a good way to peek something in the distance a bit.

I'm torn between playing it safe and hiding from everyone (which usually lets me score higher) and playing aggressively, dropping into cities and going for kills (which I feel is probably helping me get better at weapon handling and muscle memory for movement).

I like to go full aggro early game because pubbies have no idea what to do when you're pushing them with a shotty or a m16 on burst. I just finished a round where I dropped on the roof of the admin building at the jail, found an m16, let the pubbies kill each other then shot the two remaining ones and got all their sweet loot. Made it to top ten with this pro Strat until some dick dying in the blue zon shot me in the back from 300m away
