I have been feeling the same way for about half my games.

I'm not great, but I'm not bad either, but there are times when I see videos of people playing and it is almost like the other team doesn't even see them standing in front of them.

But when I'm playing, as soon as I have more than 3 pixels on the other person's screen, they are already aiming for my head. Then despite seeing 3-5 hit markers on them when I seem to start shooting at them first, I die from 2 shots to the dome. Next thing I know, I'm watching the kill cam and it shows them shooting before I am in a position where I can see them. When I'm running Cold-Blooded, Ghost and Dead Silence, it makes me wonder if it was luck for them, me being bad or something screwy with the net-code.

I'm in the same boat. Although once I found out how to switch quickplay to hardcore (thanks thread) I've been doing much better. I feel like I was losing fights because my aim wasn't perfect or my gun was outclassed. Hardcore mode you only need a few body shots to win a fight.

How do you get tickets for the challenge runs? I usually just play HC. This something you get from regular matches? Thanks in advance

So I leveled up and did not get a ticket for the challenge. Anyone know how to get tickets to run the challenges?

Search & Destroy should be renamed quit and restart because if your team loses the first round, half your team quits and you can either waste your time losing some more while your party fills out, or do the same and hope to luck out next time.

And if you do get a full team, half the time the bomb carrier is some idiot camping sniper/watching the enemy bomb count down.

Accurate. I usually just play hard core and never S&D. Thats almost as bad as teammates not reviving you (or anybody) on cyber attack when they are standing on your head and in cover.

I'd say I can't believe they have the gall to charge 18 dollars for a loving skin but I've already played BFV.

Fallout 76 paved the way for that BS.

Is their a reliable resource for best gun loadouts? I play around and mix things up, but im sure im missomg something. I usually play hardcore.

I think hardcore is a better game cause it forces you to be so tight with your aim. Well, it's just funner for me.

Pick any gun and its up 10 levels before you know it.

Agreed mostly. The reason i like HC so much more is i have a much better chance of landing 1 to 3 hits to kill someone rather than the 4 to 6 in normal mode. And i dont have to deal with people dropping to prone constantly.

Cold blooded is also a decent perk. Vtols cant see you. I run that playing HC. EOD doesnt really matter as much in HC

I wish there was an option to pick map preferences. Im not unhappy with any one map, except maybe picadilly when sbmm decides lube isnt necassary, but i'd like other 24/7 options possibly.

I love shipment for leveling guns. It does suck when you get nailed in the spawn once they have it fully covered, but gently caress it, id do the same thing.

Speaking of which. Does anyone have any tips on getting juggernaut? Its pretty much the last ribbon i need for the season. Im already dropping care packages and tbh...im 37...my reaction time will never be what it once was so just getting good isnt gonna happen anytime soon.

So i still like shipment, but i had one game of hc dom and they spawn trapped us on A side with a juggernaut, a wheelson, and then eventually a second juggernaut. Good thing i dont care about k/d.

drat, guess I'm not going to finish the Chopper Gunner mission with Shoot House. Barely could get 1 in shipment and I managed 12/20 kills only.

Still love Shoot house but seriously I want shipment back.

On top of what everyone else said. There is Drop Zone running right now too. Just grab as many crates as you can and hope for the best. Thats how i just completed my juggernaut ribbon.

I only play Ground war to grind kills with my LMGs. They are pretty much useless in any other gamemode. But yeah, ground war feels like an afterthought, like IW wanted to be battlefield without knowing what makes battlefield good.

Lmgs are great at spawn camping shipment domination. Ive been the victim of it many times.

Time the pea shooters were nerfed in HC. Under no circumstances should they be one shots unless it's a head shot and very close

I got 4 hit markers on one person with the M13 in HC. I think its fine. HC is meant to be unforgiving.

I think I'm somewhere into the 50s-60s of BP unlocks that remain locked besides the freebies. Don't think I'd buy the bundle, but might drop the ten bux in that case.

They have also stated there will be a double battlepass thing comin up soon i think. I have no idea how that would work, but its worth lookin into.

I legit do not understand the appeal of HC at all. Normal mode already has way too low of a TTK and HC just exacerbates it. I get it if you're leveling a lovely rear end pistol but otherwise gently caress that insta death garbage.

Also bring back shipment 24/7, I dont care how smooth my brain is, poo poo was dope as gently caress.

Im on the opposite end of this. Core sucks. Way to slow and everyone drops to prone as soon as there is a gunfight. My only complaint is that not all modes have a HC setting.

I do not like this challenge because I am bad with the Mk2 carbine

It gives you a reason to practice with it. I would do this in hardcore because i think every marksmen rifle is a one hit kill.

Im gonna shoot for gold on those weapons anyways so this is just a decent reason to make me use these guns now.

Like with all guns I've managed to bend the laws of the game code and hit someone dead on with the M14 and they survived in HC earlier today. I'm not sure where the gently caress I hit them but they shot me lol

Oh yeah, ive been in the same position. Im a terrible player at times. Its like i hit a magical spot that does no damage in hc sometimes. Clearly aimed at the chest and managed to clip a toe. Fml

I watched video of a guy getting a nuke with an M13, so I mean I guess it can be done but the real question is why? Why bother when there are so many objectively better AR's?

Blackout rounds maybe? I love the feel of the M13. Great recoil. Excellent rof. Just wish it did a bit more damage.

You also need gold on all the regular snipers for platinum. I don’t believe you need the crossbow. Usually post launch weapons don’t count for platinum/diamond. I have platinum LMGs but have not yet golded the holger.

Snipers and marksman rifles share platinum?

I wanna play this magical new version of shipment where you get spawn killed less because my experience seems to be the total fukken opposite

When I die I'm guaranteed 2 or 3 subsequent immediate deaths so it's encouraging me to play more campy and boring which is poo poo for this map

Before they adjusted the spawns, it was waaaay worse. Domination games meant you just spawned at the side of the flag you controlled and then the other team just sat in the corners and killed everyone before they could react. 2 or 3 deaths at spawn is not nearly as bad. I sat through 10 or so deaths attempting to throw a grenade or anything in an attempt to get out of it.

The payoff was and still is worth it. Domination Shipment makes leveling any gun a breeze. Im working on the 680 now. I get between 3 and 5 levels per domination match without any tokens. If you get a good rhythm goin, your kdr will be just fine too.

E: I only really play HC, so that may help because of easier one shot kills.

It's funny, the last person I heard say that was actually in this game.

he was pretty clearly ~14

edit: I think the problem's not so much weapon damage as the fragility of the player. Feels like I'm steering around a garbage bag wearing a ghillie suit that looks like a garbage bag and for one character actually is garbage. And it's leaky.

Like...how many bullets do you think it takes to actually kill someone? Play HC. Then you dont have to worry about the kill cam. Or aiming as much.

It's extremely cruel of them to release two new weapons immediately after removing 24/7 Shipment and 2x weapon XP from the game.

Unless you used them up, there are the weapon xp tokens you earned with last season. Also, theyve been doing a different xp bonus almost every weekend.

Hardcore is a crutch and not the answer to anything except levelling pistols.

Crutch?

HC makes almost any gun viable and you actually have to think before throwing explosives everywhere possibly killing your team mates.
