This. I get super high and grind out dom caps for challenges. After several games of that I get matched with people that don't immediately murder me.

Thermite works very well on shield guys, you're a goner unless you have EOD and both stims when stuck

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

I thought you guys would want to see the gun I'm using in shoothouse right now - getting mounted and longshot kills is miserable for this gun, so like a weird bug in the amazon, this has the specific niche of jumping up on those headshot boxes and firing with perfect accuracy across the map.

Semtex, C4, Molotov.

Molotovs also seem to work extra well against EOD which any good shield user is running. I know it's the one thing that keeps me off dom points and HQs. It's always a good idea to have a build with shrapnel and restock on it if you like objective games.

Personally, I love shoothouse. The 24/7 playlist is probably what I spend 75% of my time in. It's never dull or slow, and it's pretty rare to find a team that can keep my dumb rear end from capping points with smoke / EOD / C4. Certainly more fun that a lot of the maps that come up in regular 6v6.

"I took the most excellent hit of my life. Next thing I knew, I was on the beach taking in some cosmic rays gettin healed by mother nature. Takin in a little brewski, holdin on to a beautiful babe. And I'm fine today!"
So checking out my stats on CoD tracker i see this:

Uzi Kills: 662 K/D: 1.10 Hits:3,644 (0.27%)
P90 Kills:368 K/D 1.27 Hits:2,211 (0.23%)

My play style is the more or less the same with both (faster pace rushing around) and i really only play 20m deathmatch. Im less accurate with the P90 by a wide margin yet my K/D with it is a ton better. Using the Uzi is the same as giving yourself a handicap for no reason, it is really that bad. How does a gun this bad make it into the game?

Could be worse, I had a round of kill confirmed today where both teams, save for myself and a couple others, immediately took up defensive positions in the inital spawns on Gunrunner. And stayed there.

I quit when I realised (because gently caress that noise), but until then it was surreal. No footsteps, gunfire, etc. Just creeping round the map until getting popped by someone camping in a window or on a crate at the opposing side.

I like how even FFAs are just camp fests now. Just silence. You have to play HC because seeing the guy casually, slowly strafing back into cover after killing you is one of the most enraging things ever in a video game (after its happened 15 times)

Does HC just make every gun aside from shotguns a 1 shot kill? Because I feel like I'm getting one-shot by Uzis and stuff in HC.

No but a lot of fights will be in 1 shot ranges. There's also always a risk of being hit by super bullets due to latency/tick rate so you see less bullets hit you than the server did

I've had two LMG bullet hits result in no kills before, so I'm not sure what IW is doing under the hood.

I played a game of Gunfight today (hit the wrong choice in the menu and didn’t notice) where we were winning 5-1 when my teammate bailed because he only ever had one kill. Turns out even when your teammate can’t kill poo poo they’re still useful because the other team went on a 3 round streak before I finally put it away. No idea why he bailed on a carry except maybe being really worried about his k:d.

It *will* let you down but I love it. Just keep in mind it's biggest (only?) advantage is with the right mods you can push insane mobility with it.

This game can really gently caress itself for giving such poor points for playing the objective. Especially on HQ. jfc

I just pretty much single handedly took and defended every HQ on shoothouse with a bunch of pubs all trying to play death match in the background and placed last anyways cause actually playing the mode is nothing but a net negative compared to getting kills in pretty much every mode in this game. What a joke.

Is the M4 still the best all-rounder assault rifle or have balance patches clipped its claws to make other ARs more viable?

My first handful of matches with the Oden were absolutely miserable but now it’s... my favorite ar? Confusing. I think if I can figure out the right build then I’ll really like it. I’m not great at controlling it’s aim at range.

Mr Hootington posted:

All I play is solo queue tdm/kc/dom and this game is insanely fun. Even when I get completely rolled I usually come out with a few satisfying moments or an unlock or two. Game rules however you want to play it, definitely don’t skip it imo even if you’re only playing alone.

Well I finally got platinum for the pistols. The 1911 is total poop from a butt and I do not recommend it at all. 5-6 hit markers to kill in core game modes. I did most of it in HC HQ since it’s the only game mode that doesn’t promote absurd levels of camping. If anyone wants to play on Xbox hit me up. GT: Thunderfunk

I hadn't played much in a while, did they buff the hell out of the FAL? I went from completely useless with it to just absolutely tearing poo poo up. It's really nuts on shoot house where I was getting Collateral kills left and right, but even on other maps where people aren't coming at you in a straight line it feels so much more lethal.

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
Few other games have the capacity to be as piss-boilingly frustrating as this loving thing yet I keep coming back

After maybe 6 or 7 consecutive games of Euphrates Bridge Domination spawning at C and suffering through, even occasionally getting a victory when competent teammates also realise the value of getting and holding the bridge, I finally started a game where we spawned at A and thought for 2 seconds I might be able to enjoy it but then found my entire team were content to fan out across the back of the map with sniper rifles while I made a futile one man effort at B until I gave up

Then in the next game I got Yelchined by my own IAV from a care package when it rolled back slightly while I was trying to get in
