oh sorry all your shotgun bitching and consistant bitching about things that 1) you can't kill with or 2) kill you sorta just blend together.

Since you're talking loadouts, get this, it is balanced since you don't lock out a gun for others when you pick it. Look for a game that just has a single choice if you want identical TTK

Jesus Christ you have terrible reading comprehension.

I honestly don’t understand why a statement as reasonable as “guns should be balanced so people use more than 4 of them” is so inflammatory to you.

I’m just tired of seeing nothing but Grau M4 and RPG and think the game needs more variety which is going to involve making other guns more enticing to use. Idg what about that sends you into such a tailspin.

SKS and AK-47, 7.62x39mm. The PKM and Dragunov are 7.62x54mmR for “Russian” since the round actually predates the soviet state.

From guns you can equip the HDR which is 12.7x108mm, but biggest would be the howitzer on the side of the AC130 :haw:

Fun fact, the bullet diameter of 12.7 is the same as a .50 cal, but the 12.7x108 has a slightly larger cartridge than the .50 BMG (12.7x99).

The common projectiles on the 12.7x108 are generally slightly larger.

God drat is an exposed buffer tube an eyesore in this game and IRL.

I can't bear running any of the "meta" builds because they all look like poo poo. The M4 with no stock, grenadier barrel, and a suppressor is just ugly as hell. Looking rad is like at least 50% of the game.

appropriatemetaphor posted:

When you do the lean out of a doorway thing, does it matter if it's the left or right side?

The "peeker's advantage" thing strongly favors peeking / approaching corners to your right based on the footage I saw, since your gun is held on the right side. Someone posted earlier here about how to approach corners and it interested me enough to look up some more info on it and some league player guy said the difference was stark enough that he basically never approached corners from the left side because at that level of sweatiness you stand no chance in a 1v1 because of how much earlier someone peeking from the right can see you and how much of your body on the left side clears the corner before you can actually see around it.

M13 seems slightly better than m4 for my taste/aim

You really only need longer barrels on some of the bigger MP maps and war zone. I do fine with standard barrels even on granza raid.

If you throw a molotov or grenade on shipment and die before it goes off then you're guaranteed to spawn directly on top of it.

What do people here usually run for a counter-sniper gun?

Currently I have a KAR w/Mono, 27.6 barrel, precision comb, Granulated, and Cronen Pro Optic. It's snappy and super easy to sight on a glint and fire. Only issue I'm having is the scope, I keep switching between the different 3.0-4.0x scope but can't find one that seems "the best".

Rust almost always has at least one attack helicopter killstreak which racks up approximately 500 kills whenever I play it, but I don’t even mind.

Having a regular crew of 5-6 players is great for when the enemy team calls in a chopper gunner. immediately Zonked out of the sky by like 4 separate rockets at once.

IMO anything beyond than VTOL its very rapid diminishing returns, maaaaaybe chopper gunner.

I don't see the point in running chopper gunner when it's 2 kills off an AC130 which is just a chopper gunner that can't (really) get shot down

Chopper gunner is more fun than ac130 imo, more control and less pausing for reload time.

Why the gently caress does this game keep putting me in lobbies with unplayably bad lag? My connection is fine but I'm constantly getting stuck in games with >200 ping and I'm literally just rubber-banding around. Really don't want to keep quitting games.

no getting the final kill of the game, knowing you got the final kill of the game and throwing up a thumbs up or OK gesture is the ultimate troll. alternatively we spray paint the pubbies on our team with the bullseye graphic.

speaking of gestures, what the gently caress is activision doing with the Shaka Gesture. it was in a pack that was available and i didnt have enough CP to buy it (surfs up pack i think?) and it seems to be the only loving pack that hasnt come back.

The weed pack has come back twice now. I already have the weed pack, give me the shaka-containing pack!

why do they even remove poo poo from the store in the first place? i want to buy it, if i cant buy it im not going to buy something else. I just want the Shaka. Aloha.

They remove them for artificial scarcity. Plus it makes you check the store over and over hoping the thing you want is there...and hmm while i'm checking the store might as well buy this pack...

I found that the easiest thing to do was to look for claymores and proxies around corners in Shipment (it helps that you can hack through the walls) and look for Trophy Systems around flags or objectives.

It still took me playing about 10-12 hours to finish it, but that was because I got lucky and ran into a few people that must have been doing officer challenges because there were mines all over the place. I lucked out and got 8 in one game. If it wasn't for that, I might still be working on it.

Some day games will figure out how to do challenges that are actually fun instead of painfully tedious bullshit.

edit: On a brighter note I have finally built an Origin-12 that I like and sliding around hipfiring people on Aisle 9 is insanely enjoyable. Also trying to get the hang of throwing knives but that's been a little trickier. They seem to not actually impact quite where you aim but I can't tell if it's consistent or not and I need to get a feel for their air time.
