Oh, someone made a new one. Neat.

I figured I might as well considering how well the last few threads have been holding up.

Thoughtful of you. I would contribute more, but I'm popping a sedative and going back to bed hopefully. Here's wishing you luck.

Good night, don't let the bugs bite.

Will we ever get map making tools?

no

anyone got some tips for playing smoke? I get kills with the shotgun sometimes but I can't seem to accomplish anything with the gas bombs

gas bombs is for area denial or for masking your getaway. try to save them for late game, but don't waste them by dieing before using them.

gas canisters buy your team more time rather than kill. If you put them between an outside door, they can't see in but you can see out through them.

Get c4, use that for kills, keep smokes for shit like defuser plants, when they're about to rush, scare away BB from windows etc.

This

Thanks guys, I'll be sure to save them for those situations rather than try to use them as traps or weapons

I use nitro cell too but figure they would make a good backup deterrant against shields

>tfw the first shot in MP of the day was a single hipfire pistol shot from canal attacker approach straight into the head of a defender who broke a window

>The new Dustline map still hasn't come up in my rotation

Literally how

never heard of that map until now, doesn't show in matchmaking preferences either

wtf.

unless it's called Border and I'm an idiot...

nvm

baka

woahhh

why do bombers have respirators? I can't stop thinking about this

so you can hear where they are at all times to balance out their high HP and explosive rage

How does the game decide whether you are downed or dead?

found a spot in border where you can look into the spire from the roof into one of the 2f hostage rooms, does anyone know of it?

Pics?

yeah gimme a sec. I'm also going to shoot some footage but I don't have time to convert it atm

This is the spot. in this pic I'm watching behind the desk that overlooks the window.

View from the desk.

You can do this at any corner of the spire, so you can look through every arch you want. However, you can't really move around a lot in those corners, so you can only look through 2 arches at once.

How do you think they'll majorly overhaul BB? Will they return to the old shield with poor vision or just make it shatter more easily??

I doubt they'll make a major change to a new operator this soon.

>tfw when it took four hours to complete 'win one multiplayer match' daily challenge

I've stop on the desk before looking up and never seen anyone, I always thought it was impossible to look down, I'd never tried as it seems pointless. Interesting

How?

I mean, I end up with some shitty teams from time to time, but four hours? I feel so sorry for you.

Getting up there does involve sprinting and vaulting, so there's a large chance someone will hear you and look up, even if they've never done so before.
When I first discovered how to get up there, I got c4red almost immediately.

biggity bump

Let me guess, console?

So why cant we pick weapons off the floor?

Nah, I kept getting matchmade against aimbots.

Region lock for ranked when? i don't want to play with laggy shitty cheating brazilians with 300 ping

You're not me! I'm me!
How naive I was to not tripfag!

Its either, Brazilians with 300ping or 30mins queue times.

I'm in fucking EUROPE why the fuck are ther glue huffing fucks playing on EU servers literally unkillable with their 300 ping bullshit.

This is some next level shitposting. Stop trying to confuse the poor guy.

Is high ping a universally good thing?

I've been playing with Eurofriends a few times in the last couple of days and I find it to be more of a hindrance than anything (@250ish ping). I can't reliably hit anything, I actually have to untrain myself from going for headshots because it just doesn't work, they never register. I have to spray and pray.

At least from personal experience, playing at high ping feels like a crapshoot and like you just toss out a bit of the deterministic qualities you've come to expect from the game out the window, and actually encourages you to play worse than you normally would

But maybe that's just me being bad. I haven't learned or tried to harness the power of high ping to my advantage. Even peeker's advantage is shoddy, because they can shoot you where you weren't even at.

And by "universally a good thing" I mean to ask if it's an advantage for the person having the high ping or if it's a hindrance.

Because most people I've talked to seem to think it's actually an advantage but I do reliably worse with it

They see and shoot you waaaay sooner before you can even react let's say with Ash for example or one of the fucks was playing Valk i heard her coming even prefired here dumped half a mag into here she didn't seem to care even in her killcam i saw RED FUCKING MIST WHERE HER HEAD WAS i don't care in casual but fuck that shit doesn't have to happen in Ranked.

300-400 ping players tend to be the worst to kill, its not bad enough for them to suffer, but their movement/hitboxes dont seem to update well enough.

The amount of times I've died to 300ping players I havent even seen that on the killcam peaked out and took a second to shoot me is ridiculous.

300 ping with 3 mobility operators nigh unkillable if they're decent

Hm. I wonder how lag compensation works in this game
Because I usually play at 80ms just fine, but bump it up to 250 in EU servers from America and it starts to become black magic how things happen in ways you'd never expect them to

I guess high ping encourages an agressive playstyle? Precisely because of what you said. Like just rushing in and killing them from reaction time advantage alone. Maybe that's why I don't do well with it, I play differently to that

Because playing with high ping and being careful, or trying to use peeker's advantage just gets you killed.

Well, there is that video where the guy does peek tests with normal and high ping and finds that high pingers have a disadvantage when being peeked.

>been like 2 weeks since budget edition launched
>still getting stuck with entire teams of under 10's

Holy shit, man!

Please tell me this is ironic

I was doing really well today too, feels good knowing you're improving every game.

Both videos are super adorable

Shot in the head? You're dead
Shot in the chest? Better have a vest

This guys a rapper apparently

Just had the honor of playing with nicks like Jew_Destroyer and Reich_on_Time. But they were nice!

That's literally me and my friend.

same
fag

Whole bunch more of those names, too. There were 13 of us who started playing in closed beta but there's only like three of us still playing to this day.

>Height: 5'7" (1.70M)

ahahaha

Good try. But no

They buffed his height with the Black Ice update

Why is that an imgur filename? Did you upload it to imgur then save it?

>that glint in her eyes

I thought she was trying too shoot you.

>Thermite leaves her for you to finish off
What a gentleman

>that weapon glitch after death

kek

Post the tracks you operate to

to the sweet harmony of the supergroup TSHK's new hit song BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOP BOOM

I don't because sound is important and i'm not a shitter

I don't listen to music while playing, but if you're asking for music that could thematically fit maybe and help you get hype, then here you go

Please tell me English is not your first language

hope u did them at realistic senpai

I did.

I usually don't, but when I do, I just put on one of Tycho's albums and keep it quiet so I can still hear in game

It was ironic.

:^)

Is there any way to fix the "Connection Failed" error you get when inviting or being invited to squads, other than you both restarting Uplay?

It's really REALLY getting under my skin

Probably 40% of my time playing this game has been trying to get people together in the first place

NICE TASTE

...

Would anyone else like to see another sniper? Maybe with a permanent zoom scope instead of the flip sight and a different ability?

wouldn't work well cause even glaz engages mostly at sub 30m range. Bolt action rifle that downs instantly would be fun tho.

tactical crossbow operator when

I think an insta kill bolt action would make up for its limitations in close quarters.

Would be fun with explosive bolts and only a pistol. Like Blitz, but sans shield.

DADDY WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SAUSAGE?!?

eurofriends get on I'm ronerly

Work...

Is Glaz viable even if not sniping? I just unlocked him and find him interesting.

yes

also
>tfw can lonewolf all TH shit without even trying easily while taking no damage
>can only get 10-15 kills in realistic before dying

Yeah, I crop shit with ShareX and it automatically uploads to imgur.

>tfw people in Casual are better than sweaty Ranked players

>down three people
>three doc revives

Most people who've played for a while play Casual because they know Ranked is meaningless since it's pretty fucked by hackers. Naturally, playing for that long results in playing better than newer people, and newer people probably jump into Ranked without knowing what everybody means when we say Ranked is fucked.

>Ranked is fucked
I wish this meme would stop

The whole game is fucked

If you're going to play might as well try to climb up the ranks and have something to show for it
