Probably the best you'll get out of the bunkers is a good amount of cash and armor. Your loadout will always be the best weapons

i was scrolling through facebook and i watched a guy playing wz for a few minutes and he was just capping guys running halfway across the map and quick scoping dots on the horizon with his sniper rifle and i am just wondering why the hell do i even bother when people like that are the competition

I'm so glad f2p games are finally moving to do the obvious thing and require two-factor authentication to make an account.

I for one think c4 shouldn't be an offensive weapon as much as a defensive weapon/trap. If you're going to be able to toss it that far then it needs a longer time to activate. It's just used as a pre primed extra powerful frag grenade in most cases
:wrong: they did this in CoD WW2 (you couldn't airburst it and it had to be on the ground for like ~1 second before it would activate) and it sucked rear end

Burst FAL is the new WZ meta jk it kind of blows but is a touch effective mid range.

I'm running a Ram-7 solely because some youtube streamer recommended it. I still don't know if it fucks or sucks, but with my playstyle it doesn't really matter.

I did unlock my gold camo finally. I was eventually able to grind out longshots reliably playing domination on Picadilly and Shoothouse maps

I mostly agree with this, but if there are enough orange boxes down there you might have a good chance at a grenade launcher which is the best weapon in warzone.

I was just posting that folks have narrowed the meta down even further than before to just the Grau, even the venerable M4 has fallen off. You can just ignore my posts you know, they seem to upset you, and I don't really care.

The Grau is just so stupidly good its hard to make a case for anything else as “best AR” in WZ. BUT, I prefer a long barrel/mono Uzi w/ .41 and a hybrid sight. Hits really loving hard and can handle the ranges I need it for.

Side note: So, uhhhh bunkers are goooood. Our trio opened one earlier and got 20k, plenty of toys and 3 munitions boxes out of it.

Edit: In case anyone is curious, got the card dropping at the firehouse/gun shop by lumber and opened the bunker just north of it.

Shipmet with a shotgun and a grenade of your choice.

If you're on free Warzone, then just play the bloodmoney and drop on super busy areas.

Also, while meta weapons do give you a slight leg up in an equal fight/equal aim situation, getting on voice comms with a team that's actually communicating is a a totally different level of advantage.

they dont have a hard drive big enough to patch that in yet


also, observation: ppl that play realism mode a) suck at this game and b) leave matches way faster than any other group ive seen. i dont just mean the people im 360 hipfiring or wahtever i mean my own teammates whenever they start to lose.

which btw is every time basically because they fear so much for their lives that they pussy foot around trying to stealth in and capture headquarters while the other team just doesnt even die or honestly bother camping the freaking HQ


tbh its actually an interesting change of pace

I think it's because they expect ppl to play it slow and "tactical" but realism just means you aim higher than usual and delete lobbies.

Leveling the Uzi kicked me up considerably and as a result I had to adapt my tactics in turn tbh.

That's when I switched auto run on and started putting slides and drops and crouches on my fastest binds p much.

I find in MP that high alert and a 180 slide results in bullets flying overhead and plenty of time to cock back a rocket

Re: realism. Uh lol hahaha tbh I don't think most realism people are aware of RPG as a concept. Maybe it's the lack of kill icon. We were on hardpoint in the cave map for example and it was ugly. But yeah they play it like it's real time xcom meanwhile I'm literally too stupid to look at my UI in core anyway so gently caress if I notice the difference

E2: lol tbh I do notice that a lucky headshot from a hipfire uzi is way funnier (per your other point and the ruleset )

Oh yeah lmao watching these wannabe hannibals give every corner an occular patdown on objective mode on night maps is hilarious

ofc they weren't using any form of CC or the little radar grenades. I guess they enjoy the romance of getting smoked while artfully tucked against the wrong wall

E: ok I do have to give credit to one "enemy team " that took a guaranteed realism mode (KC on one of the new maps, a mill maybe idk) loss and still lost but only by 1. I don't know the map at all so I just shot RPGs at tracer fire the whole game and managed to grab a shitload of tags. Part way thru they started roaming the map in a pack of 3 with 2 shield guys and I p much died laughing

Ah man if I don't rock thermite 100% of the time anyway

It was legitimely really funny to see them do the 2 shield with some guy on an AR smoking people from behind them. I might have to play that playlist more because that seems...well..like a group of people playing real time xcom. Still not one ounce of CC though

I think it was one of the soldier of fortune games that I developed my "just run nonstop with a shotgun ready to hipfire into someone" and it was very effective then and now. The Uzi is a mad beast for hipfiring but I keep making it difficult on myself getting missions or levelling guns I normally don't care about just because.

Yeah my take is that speed and knowing the map is going to beat a camper in most scenarios that don't accurately involve terms like "gulag camp meta"

I bitched about crash here, not as being a bad map but bc I sucked at it and it wasn't fun (basically a bad map)

But some goon, veni I think, told me basically where to avoid going and my point is good luck camping me to death if I don't come across your crosshair
