It is really god drat hard moving between BF Hardline, Blops 3 and this game but I'm doing it anyway! Controls were floaty as gently caress until I fixed the "dead zone" which is really stupid in a shooter. Fun game overall but I wish there was a campaign.

What did you do to fix the dead zone? I wish there was a little bit of slowdown when you first start to move the left stick to aim, it's really finicky and I tend to overshoot those tight shots.

Conversely, I hate all these modern shooters and their tendencies to permanently have some form of mouse smoothing going on. It could be the most subtle of effects and it still trips me over now. Whatever happened to simply having proper 1:1 mouse movement in these games like Counter Strike has maintained? Is it really just to make it more "realistic"?

It's not great for cqc and since most gunfights are room to room in this game...

Also it kills your peripheral vision on ADS. I prefer the holo, it's bulky but it's got a small dot for precision shot and the big ring for those "first to fire wins" moments.

I'm with you on that, but you know, for PC. I'm playing this on the xbox and sticks are more fiddly than a mouse.

The ratio of Situations An ACOG Is The Right Choice/Useful vs Situations It Is Not is around 1,000:1. A holo will be sufficient at all ranges you might desire an ACOG at, unless you're rocking 20/100 or something.

Yeah, only stick an acog on the 417 or something where first shot will gently caress them the hell up, as Orv says it's not worth it when you can use one of the other red dots (Not a fan of that triangle one) will do the job just fine.

I've been forcing myself to use the triangle sight because of the scope iteslf being the best one (obscures the least) and it's not bad once you get used to it. I wish I could just put the Russian sights on my western guns though.

i also like the triangle sight over the others for best peripheral vision. it also looks fabulous on every gun. but i guess I need to go back to high school geometry because my brain has issues processing the dead center of the triangle reticle for mid-long range shots. Why couldn't it be a chevron?

good thing mid-long situation never happens though

a few of the friends I play with swear by the acog, but they come from games where you don't stay in ADS ever, preferring to just ADS once you've already aimed at the guy. They also don't lean so there's that too.

one thing I noticed with the ACOG though, is that it does help with breaching windows/doors from the outside, because all of the operators have really awful eye adaptation when looking inside a building from daylight whilst using a sight or unaimed

also 90% of the ironsights in this game are loving unusable compared to any/all sights

anyone know how the armor/speed stats work? is it like the old r6's? or maybe the T1 T2 T3 ballistic system whatever realistic thing? Or just a bigger health bar like I figured? Also rook's plates?

protips: you run faster with just your pistol out (no shield/primary gun/iq sensor)

TAA sucks unless you're 4k resolution or abuse the lumasharpen filter in sweetfx/reshade. Regardless of AA settings, I can see targets better after using reshade to sharpen the image

as attackers, there's usually two cameras outside the building, and a number of them inside that the defenders can see you through. Outside, they usually hang off lampposts. Inside, they're usually in corners or the ceiling of a hallway. They look like the iimage below. loving shoot them ASAP


Leaving part of a drywall unreinforced is great to shoot through if you have more people in the room than access points; two people shooting at the same door/window/wall is usually stupid

Don't ever linger in front of doorways, because proned people can see your toesies and will just shoot at where they figure your head/tummy is

don't breaching charge boarded up doors or windows for gods sake. not only do you make noise doing it, they can get EMP'd or shot out, with you behind it. Just melee it once or twice, toss a flash through, then vault in. Breaching charges are loud and only good for distracting or blowing up drywall which you usually can't melee

Shotguns suck at anything outside of point blank range, but they are really drat good for shooting through drywall

Lasers on Pistols and Shotties, not normal guns. Enemies can see your laser so its only good for guns designed for OH poo poo NOT ENOUGH TIME TO AIM

Flash hider is ok for pubbing defense, but for offense i'd compensator every time. Suppressor for co-op and single player because AI is really weird and dies in one headshot regardless

Single shot and burst mode have innately less recoil than tapping on full auto. I wouldn't do this often in multiplayer though because more bullets is usually better than a few less recoiled bullets

Finally: There's a walk button and you should use it more often, especially on loud/hard surfaces

Game assigns you to the closest data center, then matches within that. If it can't find players, it matches you within a different DC.

There's normally no way to change this, but you can party up. MM region is based on party leader (who does the first invite). When solo, I use a SSH tunnel to get matched within Central South US and East US DCs.

Armor is some degree of damage soak, not sure of the exact numbers. Rook brings you up one armor level from what your character naturally is. Speed just is.

Also I believe headshots do exactly enough damage to kill you. So if you were hit before and get shot by a P90 for 80 damage, that was probably headshot.

I haven't played enough casual to be sure if that's correct, though.

Bandit's electric traps, too situational to be useful? They are great at taking out drones but the chances of anyone ever standing in one or hitting a wall with one seems hugely low. They would be a good gently caress you to anyone who enters a window but that's as big a crap shoot as putting them on a wall.

Although I just read you can use it on riot shields :eyepop:

They also flash red when being used by the enemy, If you're using the cameras only loving mark if someone has a shot/is about to get jumped.

Agree about the doors part, but using breaching charges liberally is good because you usually have a ton and blasting in a window suddenly is great if you have a sniper outside ready to drop people.

No they don't, its just buggy hit detection, shotguns are pretty loving good in this game.

Silencers make it really hard for the enemy to work out your position, on high fire rate guns they're really worth attaching, they also (at leased in the beta before last) seemed to reduce a bit of recoil, this might just be it hiding the massive flash or something.

lewtt posted:

loving this it's really hard to work out where the enemy is with everyone clomping around.

Another tip, if two of you guys have flashbangs, throw two into a room a second apart, you'll usually have a better chance of stunning them/keeping them looking at a wall for longer.

Can you prime smokes?

Bandit's batteries are pretty good for their ability to prevent Thermite from breaching reinforced walls, if they don't have a Thatcher or in some cases, Twitch.

Some Operator abilities are most useful when countering other Operator abilities, anyway. Like IQ vs Pulse, Bandit vs Thermite or Ash vs Castle + Mute.

One thing I like doing with shock wire is placing two or three of them somewhat overlapped under a trapdoor. Have Jager cover that trapdoor. Hilarious results when it works.
