It's important that if you have above a 1 k/d half your match consist of duel snakeshots

I wish this game gave more XP for downing enemies in WZ. Trying to do recons and kill people as a solo in plunder just means I down one enemy and his death squad teammates finish me off before I can thirst.

I can't even imagine intentionally trying to used a downed player as bait in WZ unless I have a fantastic vantage point and they are wide out in the open. The revive time in WZ is so fast and downed players can crawl around so much more quickly than most BR games.

You get XP per down, and XP per elimination... but why don't you just squad fill, get friends, or play BR Solos if you don't want to be outnumbered? I don't think they're going to make any nerfs to teamwork in a squad game any time soon.

The Grau and Kilo and M13 are better at most ranges for WZ. The M4 is better at close range though.

The Bizon is probably the worst SMG choice.

It's pretty bad. The 2 round special ammo it gets can be good and a fun change of pace and can be a pretty fun DMR style gun but the Striker is basically a regular SMG that requires you get headshots to have a competitive ttk.

I don’t have any real issue, but I wanted to gripe after an annoying match trying to get some kills with a stock Grau. Leveling guns in warzone only is a frustrating process. I know the obvious answer is to pony up $60 for multiplayer, but I’m holding out for now.

I googled and he seems to be complaining about rooftops in this game and how parachuting when you gulag in is bullshit because you can get the high ground/good position as a reward for dying. He certainly has a valid complaint there.

This seems to be the general high skill viewpoint. Shroud’s big complaint was the rooftop sniping element and how advantageous it was. I kind of agree because I think there’s a number of rooftops that have high ledges so it makes it very hard to win from low vantage points. Although I do like how it makes the city so scary.

Disagree with the parachuting in. Love it. Love how it equalizes things a tiny bit.

you're dropping in from the sky with a pistol. is the advantage really that great? you have to overcome a lot to make it work for you if your opponent is already established. if they are established you can usually gently caress off to somewhere else. If they're not established then they deserve whatever happens to them. imo.

Parachuting doesn’t matter when the game loudly announces when someone is dropping nearby.

That's only a very recent change for BR. It did not used to do that so someone had to hear your chute or see your drop in. Now in squads it's a fairly loud announcement so it's way harder to redrop on your gear or sneakily grab a free loadout. Feels like the changed that for solos, where you could actually drop in with a glock and stand a decent chance against one person.

Mine is doing it after every two or three TDM games or after 1 ground war. It started with the patch before the most recent one. Locks up then crashes to desktop.

every game i end up finishing (win or lose) is an immediate ctd. the worst part is when the challenges i'm working on don't seem to progress, and it's like i didn't even play at all. i'm just out the 15+ minutes.

It's worse than the MP5, but so is literally every gun in the game that isn't the MP5, TAR or SIG.

It's a pretty fun gun, though.

For the sliding, just slap on some akimbo pistols with a laser sight and play some hardcore Shipment while sliding around every corner.
