The sidearm is always the first thing I get rid of anyway - it's never worth using, in my experience.

Purely depending on whether the VIP is a stupid idiot who runs towards the enemy or someone intelligent who hangs back, since the enemy team are invariably stupid idiots who run around in circles.

It really isn't dated graphically. I mean, it's Source, so it's not exactly going to look like the latest AAA releases, but it's actually really pretty Source.

If there are people reading this thread who actually don't have Insurgency and aren't reading the Steam thread, I'll happily post this: https://www.humblebundle.com/?gift=Txft5wFyr34yFv8W Up to three people can use it, so go hog wild. The Steam thread seems to have mostly reached saturation in that everyone interested has had a chance to grab a key.

Weight affects speed, and heavy armour definitely makes a big difference to your survivability. You can take 3-4 shots before dying with heavy armour, vs. ~1-2 with light armour.

The RPK is even better, since it's ridiculously easy to control on full auto and doesn't need optics.

Dvsilverwing posted:Sadly, for balance reasons, the RPK has more recoil than the AKM, even without a foregrip. But less recoil than the M249 when fired full auto (because it has a lower rate of fire), which is the point of comparison here. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Nov 27, 2014 |

LogisticEarth posted:And yeah, it's a war crime to use it, ha. I always take AP though just for the cover penetration. HP isn't really worth the points unless you've gotten the rest of your gadgets and such, and even then you have to assume that other players also have enough points to start fielding heavy armor. So does it make sense to give up cover penetration for the chance at random limb shots? Probably not. The ammo types really don't make sense in this game. There's no world in which HP is worth an extra point compared to AP since armour is so plentiful and you don't generally go out of your way to target limbs (never mind the fact that it's pretty counterintuitive to go for limbs to kill faster anyway), and AP doing extra damage through armour means that there's basically no situation in which you don't want AP. I would much rather they remove AP/HP entirely to remove the false choice.

Why the hell does the smoke glow anyway? I imagine WP smoke is warm, but the NVGs in the game are light amplification, not e; vv herp. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Nov 29, 2014 |

The MP5 is absolutely ridiculous at pretty much any range where you don't need a 4X to see the people you're shooting at.

According to http://jballou.com/insurgency/stats.php#ammo AP rounds just flat out do three times as much damage to people as non-AP rounds, which seems really weird.

That's kind of silly, since there's absolutely nothing wrong with every class having access to the same basic primary in the form of the M16/AKM (also because those guns are both cheap and super good).

Slugs actually make the shotguns worse. Just use shot, the ranges are realistic.

The RPG definitely has a bigger AoE radius than the underslung GLs, to the point where you sort of need the rocket to land vaguely in the same postcode as someone to kill them.

The M16's single fire doesn't require a foregrip at all, which means you can safely run the M16 with AP ammo and a RDS/Holo (because the ironsights suck) for cheap. If you want to sharpshoot with it, just upgrade the sight to a 2x. (Also, why is burst fire on the M16 so bad? It's pure, unadulterated garbage. Tap firing on semi-auto fires faster with better accuracy and virtually no recoil. )

LogisticEarth posted:You're right that the M-16 doesn't really benefit from a foregrip (except in the sniper role). Honestly, I don't think it needs one even if you're using it as a DMR. As for the autos, yes, absolutely, a foregrip is pretty much a must-have. My basic AKM loadout is foregrip + AP ammo because who needs optics on an AK, seriously? LogisticEarth posted:I just did a couple test runs and they have just about the same recoil if you fire "hands off". That is, just click fire and don't use the mouse to control the recoil. My bet is that you're probably compensating with muscle memory for recoil control for each click. When you're using the burst, that fouls it all up. It's not quite full auto, not quite semi, so it's hard to compensate for. I have the same issue and never use any of the burst fires. Yeah, it's just massively easier to compensate for the recoil while mashing left click than it is to compensate for the recoil on the burst.
