Yeah pretty much. It might be more useful if it A. provided some sort of boost to spotting, making the time someone is spotted last loner and B. was equippable in loadouts so people could actually plan around using them. They might prove pretty useful if we have the opportunity to reliably use them, but atm I don't think anyone is going to ditch their HBS or tac grenades just to play around with the spotter scope.

Speaking of good in theory, but useless. Those outside ropes are just another meat wagon for campers to aim at. I'm sick of every sniper counter they put in the game ranging from useless to outright working in favor of roof campers. They are so loud they alert people you are coming up, there's no way to stop yourself or reverse, theres usually only one rope, so a whole team can't coordinate poo poo. it's just more free kills for clowns holed up on the same roof for the whole game. If you could slow down and creep up silently they might actually be great, or if you could actually have a grapple gun and choose your own climbing point, instead of having obvious set points...but nope. In the end, this is the same game that decided to put waste high cover on every high roof, add air strikes and cluster bombs, but give victims a 30 second warning and have them not even be able to down+execute anyways.

The R90 is still not nearly as competitive as the origin. With the origin you can wipe entire teams if you catch them off guard, and your TTK is still extremely competitive even if you miss a shot or two. The R90 is fun but it's all or nothing and if you go up 2v1 you're probably dead due to that fire delay.

Yesterday my buds used one to get on a roof while I was distracting a team by firing at them from another roof. Felt all tactical and planned.

Edit: then we died because someone detonated c4 in midair near our car which had a trophy system on the roof. Felt pretty good.

I like the ropes for maneuvering into a building rather than climbing stairs for forever. Or to get to the top of big areas like airport or train station. Also, sometimes it's nice to scale a building and chute off it to put some extra distance between you and the oncoming gas.

But yeah, trying to use them offensively against someone camping a roof is suicide, and not being able to cancel out or control your ascent has gotten me killed.

Yeah it was not the game changer I wanted. If you’re a squad it’s easy enough to to claymore those spots and the fact that you don’t actually have any control going up is a problem. You can’t bail out and there’s that awful 2 second dismount animation.

I dunno, my super scientific research has me about 4:1 in ropes being good vs suicide. The only time I die using them is when I yolo a team that either sees me coming to the building or isn’t already distracted. The trick is to hit from multiple angles, or to wait until the roof campers are sniping across the map, then when you hit the roof immediately cut an angle to cover.

Kinda interesting stuff in here regarding the precision airstrike and cluster strike in WZ and it's predictability or lack thereof as well as the actual size of the path of the strike.

The best goon WZ crowd is the aggro crowd - Drop early, endless Bounties, take names. Yes, it doesn’t win as much, but every game is a blast and there’s less sitting around.

Yeah I wish airstrikes just did an overlay ui so you could choose the flight path. A lot of times in warzone I would drop a air strike and it would do the opposite pattern that I wanted and it pissed me off. Not to mention it took like 4 season before they fixed the airspace is full bug...which actuallly I think still happens.

This, except I prefer clusters, you have someone in the first floor of the building drop it on the middle of the building, then start roping up while the enemy guys go inside.

Zane was one of the original lineup. Yeah you have to unlock him though.

I think the only character that hasn't had a free, or battlepass related unlock is Mace, and obviously the brand new guy.

It’s pretty much counter strike and if you’re willing to bait teammates and ignore plant/defuse it’s really easy to rack up sniper kills at good chokes

I hate shotguns (and any other guns that aren't automatic) because I have this awful habit of jamming down my thumb on R3 when i'm smashing down the R2 trigger to shoot.

Results in losing gunfights because I start punching when I'm trying to shoot. I've literally had to use accessibility settings on the PS3 to remap R3 to another button. I wish I could stop, but I can't.

Usually only once or twice during its cycle. You can typically count on a sale in February/March after the initial sales boosts drop off, and then another during the summer slump.
