I need to get back into this game. I played it a ton for the first few months when it came out but a number of frustrating things about the game just stacked up until I just didn't want to play anymore, but it sounds like a lot of stuff has been fixed? Are there any plans to do anything more interesting with T-hunt in season 2? While I pretty much just played multiplayer I did enjoy a good T-hunt from time to time.

Still think Tachanka's tin can should act as body armor for his head, making a headshot hit count as down instead of dead the first time he is shot in the head.

They work, they just don't work how you think they do.

IIRC according to Hard, once the matchmaking has found 10 people, it throws every map each of those ten people doesn't have disabled into a hat, then randomly draws a ticket and that's the map that gets chosen, so even if you play with four other people who have Favela disabled, there's still a chance you'll get it unless you matchmake against five more who also have it disabled.

So if you have 9 people all with only the house map enable and one dude with all maps enable, it will then draw from a hat with one of each map?

Number 4 on things I've tried that didn't help :(. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I know I could probably fight harder for a refund if I explain that all the time spent in the game was trying to get it to work, but my brother really is excited to play the game together, so I figure I should give this the absolute best shot that I can at getting it to work. I'm just totally befuddled, because I primarily play multiplayer games, and haven't had an network issue since maybe 10 years ago when I had to deal with college network stuff.

Have you tried calling your ISP and seeing if they have some poo poo on their end loving you over? Also, you could order a standard modem from amazon to try and connect directly to your modem to test and if it doesn't work just return that poo poo.

I tethered my phone's 4G/LTE, and the game is able to connect to the servers this way. I guess that tells me the issue lies somewhere with our router/modem. We still have no idea what that issue is though.

Pure anecdotal story, but I used to use a router/modem combo and had a fair amount of problems with it. Switched back to standard separate router + modem deal and things have gotten a lot better.

I use ACOGs on every gun that will take them because it makes it easier for my lovely old man eyes to pick out assholes hiding in the shadows with just their little ski mask peeking out. I still die to that way too often.


Yeah, I use ACOGs not for the zoom really but just because its makes it easier to find guys heads hiding behind a desk between two lamps and a pile of books.

Hey Hard, when are recruits finally getting that second wall reinforcement and gun optics that don't rely on vastly uneven ironsight apertures? :v:

Still agree 100% with this, one of the major bummers about this game is that I can't get a gun RP boner since operators are strictly limited to 2 or 3 weapons.

What was the original design philosophy behind limiting recruits and does it still apply?

Entice you to unlock operators and maybe spend cash to get them all faster? I dunno really considering it doesn't take long to unlock all the base operators.

Recruit also get the best ski-masks.

VVV It might make them look at operator abilities and make sure they actually are very useful and worth taking over a the recruit with a great gun loadout.

Maybe just take away recruits so we don't have to see a bunch of backseat game designers think they know the developer's vision and balance better than they do.

This is a game of characters with asymmetrical sides and strengths and weaknesses. Expect to sacrifice potency if you want customization that crosses those lines.

Being able to lower graphics to such a degree really is silly, you basically have to do the same to remain competitive at that point why bother making the games pretty?

Siege is a pretty well optimized game.

Not to mention, as in standard FPS tradition, if you make your game look like dogshit you get a nice advantage over someone playing with max settings and shadows and things.
