I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

For as much as the Origin gets poo poo on in MP I feel like it is bar none the best WZ shotgun. It feels so much more consistent than the R9 and the 725 and 680 just suck rear end. origin drops with ease though.

If you didn't have to shove it up the persons rear end to do any damage, yeah, it would be fine, but the R9 is a much better shotgun.

For regular MP it's not an issue though, it's only in Warzone where you have the time and space for the RPG to be a massive annoying boring pain in the rear end.

Those of you who crash all the time, do you run multiple monitors? I can count on one hand the CTDs I've had in recent years and I only ever run one monitor. I put my Surface on my desk for a secondary screen when I need it.

Or have you been duped into thinking updates=bad? I also always keep everything up to date. Everything.

In addition to the latest patch ruining the game more than ever, cheating is way up again the last few days woooooooooooooooooooooo

had a really fun game of plunder just now. spent the last 10 minutes of a match trying to get a cash-drop that perched on the 'аэропорт' lettering on the roof of the airport while my two rando team mates camped in the control tower. They did a great job sniping and spotting but after a couple minutes there were just too many people parachuting in and choppers flying about mushing people. Was like the whole round was just about who got the cash drop.

I think one of the reasons I prefer Plunder to BR is it just seems to encourage weird meta games like this.

It’s got pods of extremely emergent situations throughout. It’s really fun (although I’m sick of parachuting RPG users that aren’t me)

I'd play Plunder more because it's cool, but 90% of the time it doesn't award any loving battle pass XP.

Comms are totally crazy now too. Its seems like it's fine in lobby, all comms die on drop in, then when game is over they are back. We tried
PC to PC
PC to PS4
PS4 to PS4

The only way to have consistency was to either be in a ps4 party or be in discord. Since ps4 has no discord app or PC communication app it leaves one of our group in the cold.

It seems extremely dumb and obvious, especially since I mostly run and gun in multi and hip fire all the time, but for some reason in warzone I’ve always impulsively ADSed just about everything. I don’t know if it’s the higher TTK or what. It just felt like the thing to do. In the last few days I untrained myself and started letting myself hip fire in WZ and it’s just an absolute game changer. I feel like I’m winning 90% of close range shootouts with SMGs now.

I feel your pain. I wish discord would put out an xbox & ps4 app that works with PC. It's funny that crossplay has finally arrived but cross communication relies on in-game garbage.

I'm reasonably sure all of the reflex types are the same other than personal preference for appearance. I can't speak for the other sights

It means they can put more levels on guns, which is content.

You can use the Xbox app on pc to join Xbox party chats. Works really well in my experience.

Surely you’re not suggesting that the people you killed shouldn’t be given advantageous positioning possibilities, free plates and ammo for losing.

I think the team wipe to make a team gently caress off isn't as punishing as it could be. sometimes you just get caught with 1-2 teams just endlessly dropping on you and it can get a little tiring. You should spawn further and further from the team the quicker your deaths are until you get the hint that you should gently caress off and go elsewhere.

Cell phone + earbud with a mic under your headphones works fine with Discord, we had to do that yesterday for a crossplay group.

What's the deal with the battle pass? I don't get what a "tier" is and why you'd pay for the more expensive battle pass to get "tier 100".

It just says "airport" in demon script. My turd-tier cyrillic skills have been very handy lol

Yeah I was stuck at level 1 for a while. Seems like any time I do really well nothing counts. Took maybe 10 ish matches to get to level 4 and unlock customizable loadouts...

I've got one screen and was getting CTD within about a minute of playing any match. Until I did the alt-tab while playing and manually add a "1" to both the launcher and regular exe files. Game is just janky af. Like one match the top half of the screen turned black, then my framerate went to poo poo, came in the top ten which was cool. None of the XP counted though of course.

The things marked Free you get for leveling the pass up that level, if you pay you get all the stuff in between the free ones. You get 1400 points if you reach somewhere near the end, I don't know the exact tier, so it pays for the next season's + 400 if you buy it once and complete it.

Between the resurgence in cheaters and scrubshot akimbos, holy gently caress what a day. Its just demoralizing. God I miss battlefield being good.

I think I may have a solution for you console people. I have the Arctis 3 headset and its wired but also has bluetooth, and both can be used at once. So I'm wired to my PC but say if I get a phone call I just turn on bluetooth and accept it while I'm playing. No reason you wouldn't be able to plug in to your controller but also bluetooth to your phone or computer for discord, only issue would be it would have to be always on, not push to talk.

I have a wired + bluetooth headphone setup as well and I couldn't get it to work off bluetooth with Discord. I didn't spend too much time trying to figure it out though.
