Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

Make it a point streak, it’ll encourage people to also run objectives. All “you can have it back when you’ve shown me you can behave”.

Even better.

PKM is good when the netcode works. Had a round on that Russia map in the city and would put six or seven rounds in someone and either get an assist or they'd just spin about and two tap me. Think I'll just put this on the backburner for now, between the netcode, spawns, spawn protection being removed from beta (why?), and the non stop callouts, poo poo just isn't all that fun.

Bit of a bummer, I absolutely loved the beta and playing that is what got me to buy this in the first place.

I do think as others have said something needs to be done about quitting early. I don’t care the mode they need to make it annoying. Because I’ve had too many games get slightly lopsided but then have a teammate or two quit and then make it really bad.

Let's say if you quit out on three games in an hour, you get added to a player pool of similar people and you get matchmade together. You are not matchmade with the general player population. Play some games in the quitter pool to get added back to the main population.

Did they stop paying for licensed names or something? I see so many weird names for guns in this game.

I think they’re really playing up the “alternate reality” part of things, mostly our world but just slightly off. Like the Harrier has weird square intakes and the AC-130 has those big winglets. Basically our world but just slightly askew. I think it’s kind of cool actually.

I do think increasing the amount of non-lethals you spawn with could maybe gently caress with close quarter campers a bit. All of them could be used to ferret out the fuckers when used efficiently.

Also, MW2 chat: Once on Favela I was stuck with a full stack of cool clan tag guys on one side and a rapidly diminishing team on my side. Obviously that didn't go so well, until it was just me left, and I switched to my

I was unstoppable, practically flying around the match like an alien from Alien. Match ended with me owning them like a god and them ragequitting. Best moment of my pvp career.


Stuns or flashbangs can gently caress them up pretty good.

Or just let scavenger loving refill non lethals. Not sure why they took that out and replaced it with "do nothing for 30 seconds while it regenerates"

I think cool downs never work. Things like five minute or even 30 minute bans. I like the matchmaker pool idea. My idea is just if you quit twice in 30 minutes or maybe twice in an hour you just don’t get to earn any XP or progression for an hour. That probably doesn’t fix it either. So maybe do both mine and your suggestion. Punish the fuckers.

Is there a counter to someone with a riot shield running at you head on if you have no way to flank around behind them? Thats been kind of annoying for me in tight spaces.
Explosives are what usually get me as RS in this game seems to not reduce explosive damage by much if at all. Otherwise as people have said, aim for the feet and back up. You're faster than them and if they try to sprint to catch up the shield drops a lot and you can headshot them.

I just went 29-12 with the M91 in a game of HQ and felt like a loving god. Mmm. Yeah, that’s what I play COD for. We still lost because I was the only one trying to actually play the objective, but I get a kick out of the fact that my KDR was better than the people hanging back and playing it safe.

E: There was also a lot of C4 use. So many C4 double kills.

Yeah, people would use the same sniper nests every drat game so you could get the shot dialed in and pop a blind grenade into a window to clear a path and get an easy kill, it ruled.

The part that really sucks is that you have to pick between a perk that only sometimes prevents you from dying and anything else that’s useful.

The maps sure are unmemorable and uninspired. I mean, the game is fun and I don't think the maps are that bad to play, but they are pretty generic and I don't remember the name of any, except for Piccadilly because that's the map where everything is blue and everything sucks.

Yeah. Something needs to be done, it's frustrating seeing your team steadily trickle out as the stomp gets worse and worse.

The FAL is in the same boat. A later perk unlock turns it into a burst rifle which is probably the only way it'll be truly viable, but holy poo poo it's like rank 50something :argh:

It seems really bad at close range though and I feel like I need to run overkill with a shotgun to not get murdered.

The thing that makes most of the guns feel like poo poo until you start unlocking stuff is the slow rear end default Ads speed. Being able to ADS at half the speed of someone with an upgraded gun is crippling.

We had a cyber security presentation today and the lady brought up haveibeenpwned.com and she pronounced it "pawned". I guess really its just an internet word no one with a life should be aware of, or certainly ever use.

Twice now I've had this super glitch where everything just becomes one big glitch, all I can see is my arms and gun and the odd object if I get close enough to it, but its completely unplayable. I rebooted the game and even my PC when I noticed the lobby background was all black after just closing the game, but was still black even after the full PC reboot. But everything worked fine when the game loaded in. I finally got to see the city ground war map, and a portion of it had the tiedye glitch painted over it. Hopefully all this gets worked out.

People are ruining FFA for me with this loving metal gear solid-esque sneaking. Double kill? Forget about it, everyones at least 50 feet away from each other at all times. Do you keep the music on? Seems foolish to leave it on with the emphasis on sound, as much as I enjoy how it denotes certain moments in a round.

I hear you wish to ball, adventurer..
So it doesn't seem to record kills for weapons you haven't unlocked yet but have blueprints for. So I was trying to do one of the missions that is get 35 kills with an SMG and I was using the MP7 Blueprint you get for pre ordering and I got around 20 kills in a match and 0 progress on the mission. Possibly a feature, most likely a bug.

I dont think blueprints count - but using the guns in Gunfight does.
I ended up pre-leveling a good amount of the 'cast' by playing a ton of gunfight early on.
There's also the occasional UI glitch that reverts all your gun levels to 1 (but doesn't affect the unlocks)

Just make it so bailing results in temp ban and reverts any earned xp, weapon and otherwise. Maybe even a period of diminished xp gain

It sucks being on either side of it. You end up in an unwinnable match or one with nothing to shoot at

Lol they aren't going to ever suspend people for bailing that would be ridiculous. It is weird that you get to keep your XP though seems like if nothing else that might motivate people to stick around if it didn't.

Sometimes I'll bail If my team is getting completely loving steamrolled because gently caress that and the game should have better matchmaking.

Ayep. Regenerating claymores, stun grenades, trophy system, overkill with a quickdraw M4, take Dom B and sit right there in the corner in full view of everyone on the other team. Nothing like it.

Couple of times already we'd get back to the lobby and someone'd yell WHO IS THAT DUMB MOTHERFUCKER WITH THE SHIELD GODDAMNIT even though my team lost and I went like 7-15.

That's quality trolling.

It reminds me of the quality salt I’d get playing as Ajax when I dabbled in BLOPS 4. Even though I only had the shield for like thirty seconds in a match people would get furious, it ruled.
