I thought they made breach charge kills not count as team kills after all the thermite trolling people were doing a while back.

How do I not suck at this game? I'm usually really good at shooters, but for whatever reason...I'm terribad. I think my biggest problem is just not being able to see enemies, either because of map clutter or what, but I don't know how to get around that. I'm a little tired of being asked if I'm playing on a phone its an abacus drat it

My OG monitor I tried with this game had something like an 8ms refresh rate. The situations AI was winning gunfights against me. With how fast reaction times are in this game that can sadly matter. I need to give some other games a try again now that I can win gunfights against the AI.

A big part of the game is map knowledge and knowing which spots people tend to cover to hold angles etc. Alternatively try turning down your in-game settings if you're on pc, having too good a visual quality means they blend into the background more easily.

Its more not seeing them through the clutter. I'm not surprised per se, just "Oh, there was a guy there?" On defense I can be watching a position, and then die from where I was watching because somebody was walking there and I didn't see them through the chair, table, and all the poo poo on top of it. slap me and kiss me posted:How big is your monitor?

In that case, you're probably dealing with a combination of bad angles and peeker's advantage.

So how has the TK ban and reporting toxic behavior been working out? Being a new player, trying to play this game really loving sucks. Example, the other night I went to play some rounds, first game I joined in progress and got vote kicked before I got to play. Second game I got killed as soon as the round started every round by somebody on my team. Third game the vote kick started as soon as the first round started, I asked them to let me play before they kick me, and instead 3 players on my team all quit the game. It's like 90% bullshit before I finally get a good game, then it all starts over.

It's like 90% bullshit before I finally get a good game, then it all starts over. It's almost impressive that you met all kinds of lovely behavior during your first session. Sorry to hear that. I know I've experienced all of this previously but never back to back. Casual mode is rife with assholes abusing tk and vote mechanics to disrupt game play and there's very little you can do than report them and move along. It gets better at level 25 when ranked mode opens. There's no backfill or voting so people tend to play more seriously. Other than that you can try disabling the shittiest mode (secure area) matchmaking from the multiplayer settings. Hostage is the least popular mode so you can try play that exclusively. On PC at least ranked has generally been quite pleasant with poo poo talkers at minimum during EU prime hours. If you just say hi to the team you usually get a hi back. Even if there's not that much communication even random manage to do call outs on death.

God drat, played Smoke for the first time since this update. Used his SMG for long-range (as I was using his shotgun). The recoil was loving mental. Tips for using this? I can't really depend on it for long-range engagements cause it kicks like a mule. Is there even a way to handle the recoil or is it mainly meant as a hipfire weapon up close now?

It's an up-close weapon like all the other machine pistols. Use his SMG instead of his shotgun.

All of the machine pistols are basically only for point blank blasting now. IMO it was pretty stupid how the SMG-11 was a crazy sniper rifle for most of the game's existence. Dokkaebi's SMG-12 is still the best door/window opener in the game though.

I'm totally cool with that. Makes sense too, it sucked that you could go shotgun for close range and then SMG for perfectly accurate long range.

lol i just aim at ppl's stomachs now and try to wrangle in that horizontal recoil as it climbs to their head when using that or the bearing 9 smoke's fmg has always been underrated tho

I'm trying to use shotguns more. I've noticed when I use shotguns, I hold angles and actually play the objective. When I've got a gun capable of medium to long range fighting, I tend to push fights (and die more often than not, unless it's one of those rare days where my brain is all systems go adderall mode). So now I'm trying to rein that in by using shotguns and holding tight angles. It's really, really satisfying when I can hear someone coming, and I just pop out and blast them onto the ground. I'm even using shotties for attackers, and just taking the most direct path to the objective. I bust a window open, drone it, then jump in and instantly kill whoever is in the room. So I've been maining thermite a lot, for rooms where there aren't windows into the objective.

as a 24/7 shotgun main i recommend that shotguns are always used.

Any tips for getting a feel for the range of the shotguns? There'll be some real juicy moments where I can nab a kill, but I go, ADS and shoot and don't kill them outright because they're just out of range to where the damage falloff lets them live and then they pop my head into a red mist.

shoot a wooden wall from varying distances to get an idea of the spread this includes stationary and while strafing
|
# ? Sep 23, 2018 20:37 |

Personally I hate that the spread is the typical fps spread of dinner plate right out of the gun and barn sized 5m away, it's helpful opening walls but makes shooting across a room almost pointless
