Yes. Shit don't work. At all. It's unoptimized like shit, crashes often and loads forever. the amount of effort and autism put into the gun, character and vehicle customization, along with all of the armor shit is really commendable though it has fully simulated ricochets and had wind and coriolis, I believe, but they were taken out because they caused too many issues while not being that impactful

pretty much literally battefield3 on steroirds with cool character customization, some abilities haven't been balanced cost-wise yet.

I've played a bit, was forced to lower textures to "medium" and it turns out there's no difference between "low" and "medium", all textures seem to be just pixelated as fuck once you get below "high"

Don't approach without at least modern budget gaming pc, once I'll upgrade GPU to a one that has more VRAM it should start working well, atm it eats up all my 16GBs of RAM

The game is early access and it's what you would expect of it, the basics are here - maps, guns, clothes and vehicles. The rest is for them to work on

>>622023

>once I upgrade my GPU

>eats up 16gb of ram

It's really nothing to do with your PC, the game just doesn't work properly. It won't even use more than 50% of my CPU or GPU, and ram constantly sits at around 70%-80%, but the game runs like complete shit or outright refuses to load sometimes. And I'm using a 6 gig 1060 and have 8 gigs of ram.

Tiers 3-4 are absolute hell of uselessness and 0mm armor.

The tier 5 while terrible in every way has an okay gun and is somewhat playable at long range. Although being the longest part of the grind and being the worst tank in the game tier for tier you will hate it almost every game.

The tier 6 O-I is of course acceptable in all features. From then on it is simply more of the same, big tank, big armor, big derp.

Mah nigga, it was a good game

>>623835

And after another session, I have to say the apparent hit detection problems are extremely severe. The game is either not detecting hits correctly, most of the bullets are disappearing for reasons unknown, or the lag is so bad that what you see on the screen only loosely correlates to what the game thinks is happening, and you're dead long before you even know it. There are so many situations where the enemy should have already died two times over, yet somehow he still manages to beat me. Shotguns are particularly wildly inconsistent, and will at times oneshot people (bodyshots) and at other times will requires two or even three shots.

This game's about twenty years old and has been running on fundamentally the same engine, and this is where we are.

Counter-Strike has always lead on the side of being an arcade shooter rather than anything tactical, the game's meta is like football strategies rather than combat tactics.

It's always had pretty shitty and unintuitive gunplay, but at least it was consistently shitty with no random variation in 1.6, but GO added a shitload of random spread to equalize skill levels or some gay shit. I still don't understand what kind of mental defect thinks that a first person shooter in which your bullets go anywhere but the center of the screen is actually good.

Nice, but it's turn-based, which means it'll most likely have RNG.

>>624386

It's been a very long time since I played CS and CS:S, but I don't remember it ever being this bad. It's just a constant struggle to get bullets to hit anything, and it doesn't seem to matter if I'm shooting controlled bursts or holding down the trigger. How did this shitfest ever become an e-sports game?

>>624468

The best one I ever had was I laid a mine outside a booby trapped door then heard something directly upstairs, so the floor and whatever the fuck was standing on it got bren gunned, fell through the floor and hit the mine killing the chap and the fellow behind the trapped door and someone below as well.

I started playing the original DOS C&C yesterday. It's fun when a game chugs at 30 dudes on the map.

I only ever dipped in and out of C&C, is it worth playing the full series?

>>624433

It wasn't an E sport designed game. It was something rather unique in the time when everything else was Team fortress or Quake. It took off as a multiplayer tacticool mod which had a decent sized fanbase. It was one of maybe 5 games from Half life 1's online mods that got a decent userbase and the first to really get a big one.

The E sports shit comes more from clan matches. Back when the internet wasn't retarded people would group up in clans to play together. Some of them wanted to do competitive things, some of them recorded the matches for you to download (on dial up) and they got popular. There was no commentary, no e celeb shit, just people making montage videos of cool plays and uploading their matches. Leagues developed around this and the player base just considered it a way to avoid scrubs in public servers. Some events would happen at large LAN parties and would be their own in house events. A few of the players then ended up with sponsorships and that's where it all went to shit.

If you don't understand CS's place in gaming you're a newfag who should do some research. It's a good example of how a good game at the time can be dragged out for 20 years to make Jews rich.

>>624482

i really enjoyed it when I heard movement and knew at least 1 enemy is in a house so i threw a frag grenade through a door, and in the next turn i found out it killed 5 people while also radically widening the doorways to other rooms.

>>624739

I started playing CS in the early betas and played Quake and TF before that, you dumbshit underage newfag. I'm talking about CS:GO specifically. There's no way it should be any kind of competitive game when the hit detection is faulty to the point of making the game unplayable.

>>624853

CSGO hit detection was fixed a long time ago. Don't act like 1.6 was flawless either, because that game had hitbox bugs all the same.

Sniper Elite and MGS V are the only things I can think of. Insurgency Sandstorm is also coming out for console but I think it was delayed.

Thanks lad

>>624914

MGS V isn't good.

Peace Walker as part of MGS HD collection is better.

>>624925

MGS V did a lot of things wrong. Story was meh, all the boss fights were awful, stealth was quite barebones and camo did nothing, the AI just had a flat 25m detection range when you were prone and Kojimbo kinda lied about some stuff like AI starting to wear helmets after headshots and react to you when in reality they just did it anyway no matter your input.

But… at the same time it's the only game that allows you to mortar strike with an automatic grenade launcher's rangefinder sight and shoot soviets on horseback with a .44 while listening to 80's tunes.

>>624966

Pick the NO-CD installation pack, the video pack and maybe the british language pack as well.

>Is it worth playing the full series

Despite what >>624935 said, RA1 is quite playable with the latest fanpatches and is pretty much TibDawn+, but otherwise he's on point with most of everything.

Tiberium Wars uses the same engine as Generals. But, unlike Generals, plays mostly like the originals in terms of basebuilding with the exception that infantry is bought in full squads instead of individual men.

RA2 is certainly fun to play and has that sorta 80-90's feel to it despite the artstyle. Big problem would be that it's somewhat microintensive for allies due to their infantry mechanics mostly and has certain over-the-top units later in the campaing.

>>624935

>The only ones worth playing are Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun, Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath.

The Tiberium saga is built around speed and rushes, you can go slower with the other two.

>Red Alert 1 is a buggy mess

What version did you fucking play.

>Red Alert 2 is entry-tier with kids cartoon-tier artstyle

It's easy to learn and hard to master, and the story is campy, Red Alert was always a spin-off where they didn't have to be serious.

>Red Alert 3

Entire game revolved around shitty co-op play, mining was made superfluous, story is retarded, maps are small, you could've named a lot more things wrong with it.

>Renegade is an FPS, and a mediocre one at it

Singleplayer yes but multiplayer was an FPS-RTS done right, I doubt you played that.

>It's also overhyped and overrated because of its war-on-terror theme.

Generals is popular because of choosing different generals with special abilities and that the GLA were entertaining.

Gameplay: Generals > Red Alert > Tiberium

Story: Tiberium > Red Alert > Generals

The fully patched version straight from CnCnet, which has next to no bugfixes from the original. I can list you the gamebreaking problems right here and now.

>they didn't have to be serious.

Nothing wrong with that, but a lot of people who get into the series start with RA2 and hold its campiness as standard, when it is not. C&C has always taken itself seriously for the most part, with some campiness here and there.

>you could've named a lot more things wrong with it.

Eh, I already said it's not worth playing anyway.

>I doubt you played that.

I did play it, and like most people who played it, I dropped it within the week. There's a reason why Renegade was the failed gamble that outright killed Westwood.

>Generals is popular because of choosing different generals with special abilities and that the GLA were entertaining.

It's popular because of the current political climate, don't kid yourself. Wacky terrorists, yadda yadda. It played like shit too. Units move slow as molasses, effects look like garbage, horrible bottlenecking problems and so on. TibWars fixed most of its problems.

>>625204

Yeah, this is the typical shit that shills say every fucking time. The game couldn't possibly have any issues, it must always be the player's fault! 90% of your bullets apparently disappearing into thin air is just because you aren't good enough!

>Units sometimes don't listen to commands and remain still when ordered to move or attack, most likely caused by a limit to how many units you can command at once (which is retarded because the game has no popcap, and neither did C&C95, where you could actually move dozens of units at once with no problem)

>Units will take the wildest ways around to get to the location they're ordered to go (usually the path closest to the enemy base for some reason) and when ordered to return, they take over a second to actually respond to the command and turn around

As for game balancing in Singleplayer:

>Comparatively, Allies has like 30 different ways of dealing with air units (Rocket infantry which are cheap and fast, Chronotanks, Destroyers with ridiculous range, and AA guns which are cheaper and more efficient than than Soviet SAMs), essentially having total air supremacy

>USSR only has shitty SAM turrets, and slow-ass Mammoth Tanks, the former being a base defense that can't even 1v1 an Apache and the latter being overpriced for the job of AA

>Terrible asymmetrical balance in general where Allies not only have more versatile units than the Soviets, but also some of the Soviet arsenal as well, like paratrooper drops

Coming fresh off of my yearly playthrough of Tiberian Dawn earlier this year, RA was fucking jarring. It wasn't hard, but very, VERY tiring and unfun to play. It's actually worse than Tiberian Sun's balancing that stacks everything in favor of GDI.

>what are control teams

>>Units will take the wildest ways around to get to the location they're ordered to go (usually the path closest to the enemy base for some reason) and when ordered to return, they take over a second to actually respond to the command and turn around

You can use Q to set waypoints to travel to before the final destination.

>>Even when right in front of the enemy, some units will simply not attack (like the submarines getting stuck on each other all the time)

Some units have a minimum range.

>Units will charge suicidally towards enemies when ordered to attack even when they can fire from their current position. It makes using V2's and Artillery a massive pain in the ass to use because they will move into the range of an enemy turret for example rather than remain at a safe distance

You can use G to guard and Ctrl-Alt when clicking to move toward a location and attack enemies along the way, or to guard a specified unit.

>>Comparatively, Allies has like 30 different ways of dealing with air units (Rocket infantry which are cheap and fast, Chronotanks, Destroyers with ridiculous range, and AA guns which are cheaper and more efficient than than Soviet SAMs), essentially having total air supremacy

AA Guns have high power consumption, blow up power plants to disable them before using aircraft. Rocket Infantry move slow as fuck you can run over them.

>>625436

Alt click to run over a unit instead of shooting at it, by the way.

>>625415

Happens even with tank rushes.

>>625436

>What are control teams

Something that shouldn't be mandatory in the first place. Leave that shit for Starcraft and its stupid 12-unit max selection.

>You can use Q to set waypoints to travel to before the final destination.

Also not mandatory in C&C95, which came before RA.

>Some units have a minimum range.

They literally walk with right in the enemy's face before attacking due to this bug. It's especially noticeable in subs.

>You can use G to guard and Ctrl-Alt when clicking to move toward a location and attack enemies along the way, or to guard a specified unit.

Spamming the stop command with S whenever an enemy shows up also remedies the problems, but it becomes a problem unto itself when you need to pretty hotkeys just so your units will work properly when they should do so with one simple right mouse click.

>AA Guns have high power consumption, blow up power plants to disable them before using aircraft. Rocket Infantry move slow as fuck you can run over them.

Let's be honest here, power supply is virtually a non-issue in C&C. Hell, you can turtleroll your base across the entire map with them, even. It's not a downside.

>Infantry move slow as fuck you can run over them.

Spamming them is still way more effective for anti-air than a SAM site (of which you need at least two to take anything down at all). Also, spam enough of them and you can even face tanks to a certain extent. Mammoths get squashed by rocket infantry spam too.

Also, RA still has the bridge problems from C&C 95, except now they extend over long stretches of water, splitting landmasses and making it even more of a tedium to even transport units over water.

>>625457

>Mammoths get squashed by rocket infantry spam too.

>>625533

You're taking this out of context.

Armored Brigade is out. I'll post the magnet link between friday 23'rd once I get back from reservist exercise and NEVER EVER when I come across it.

>>625537

Using more than one type of unit at once is out of context?

>>625542

The context is that the Allies essentially dominate air combat and have better and more varied anti-air measures, including anti-air infantry as I've pointed out here >>625362. You're the one talking about tanks running over infantry, which has nothing to do with it.

This is a fucking terrible OP, there's no links to mods or games and it's just a bunch of video game box arts.

>>625555

Infantry suck ass in RA and are not worth building since you can eliminate them extremely easily especially with the heavy armored units the Soviets have, the Allies have only one air unit, air units have to reload so they aren't a constant threat, air units also have to be at an appropriate distance to a unit to attack it so if your units are moving or you scatter them with the X key they are neutered, the Soviets have Rocket Soldiers in MP so it isn't an issue in competitive settings, and if production is slow the Soviets have a discount cost bonus and building more than one production building allows for faster production. Why you're playing to the weakness of the faction you're playing beats me.

>>625605

>especially with the heavy armored units the Soviets have

You mean the slow moving Mammoth tanks that are not good at all against infantry, or the heavy tanks that can be evaded by pressing X to scatter infantry?

Also you keep dragging it back to infantry vs. tanks argument. I'm talking about anti-air.

>the Allies have only one air unit

They have Apaches and Badgers (transport planes that drop paratroopers).

>air units have to reload so they aren't a constant threat

They don't build only one Apache. They're also heavily armored and can attack air units as well. With heatseeking missiles. And they have ridiculous damage.

>you scatter them with the X key

Which is useless against air units. You gotta be kidding.

>the Soviets have Rocket Soldiers in MP

I'm talking about SP, which is the main appeal of RTS, at least until Starcraft and its gook hordes ruined everything.

>and if production is slow the Soviets have a discount cost bonus and building more than one production building allows for faster production. Why you're playing to the weakness of the faction you're playing beats me.

I don't see how this is part of the topic at all.

>>625622

>You mean the slow moving Mammoth tanks that are not good at all against infantry, or the heavy tanks that can be evaded by pressing X to scatter infantry?

The Mammoth Tank sucks ass and you shouldn't build them at all, the heavy tanks can easily run over infantry if you have enough of them. The AI doesn't use the X to scatter, and if you never noticed the AI doesn't attack your units while they're in transit to a target unless you attack first, allowing you to run over the AI infantry while they are moving.

>Also you keep dragging it back to infantry vs. tanks argument. I'm talking about anti-air.

Because you shouldn't need to use that much air as Soviets. You can have a few MiGs and blow up the AI Power Plants, Ore Trucks, or Construction Yards to cripple it. The AI isn't that smart. Especially if you attack their Ore Trucks. They send their entire fucking army after you and can be crippled in one battle. And they don't know how to defend against air units attacking OTs.

>They have Apaches and Badgers (transport planes that drop paratroopers).

The Badger isn't available to the Allies in all missions and it has cardboard armor and can easily be shot down.

>They don't build only one Apache. They're also heavily armored and can attack air units as well. With heatseeking missiles. And they have ridiculous damage.

The AI only attacks one unit at a time. For example the A-10s in Tiberian Dawn only attacked the enemy closest to the upper-left corner of the map. If you keep your units in base while you aren't attacking it isn't an issue. The Apache can't attack air units unless they're on the ground, and if your airstrips aren't defending by SAMs it's your fault.

>Which is useless against air units. You gotta be kidding.

Unless you're building and commanding one unit at a time one unit loss isn't that much of an issue.

>I don't see how this is part of the topic at all.

Because you seem to be building very small armies that you're worried about air units causing you one unit losses, unless it's one of those missions where you're put at a disadvantage to use some map specific strategy.

>>625640

>heavy tanks can easily run over infantry if you have enough of them.

I wouldn't be sending infantry against heavy tanks. I said they can wreck Mammoths because they're slow pieces of shit.

>The AI doesn't use the X to scatter

They do with infantry when you try to run them over, actually.

>Because you shouldn't need to use that much air as Soviets.

The myriad of island maps split up by waterways and flimsy bridges that are guarded by ships say otherwise. Building subs to clear the way for landing craft is also a pain in the ass of an attrition game against allied ships.

>You can have a few MiGs and blow up the AI Power Plants

MiGs are a long way off into mid-late game. The AI doesn't wait around. It's not that it's smart, it just gets more credits per ore truck and spams units in waves to wear down defenses, thus slowing down ore credit flow, and consequently slowing the counterattack down.

>the AI doesn't attack your units while they're in transit to a target unless you attack first

Because the game engine can't handle units attacking and moving at the same time.

>The Badger isn't available to the Allies in all missions and it has cardboard armor and can easily be shot down.

They still have it in the trickier missions, and it's fast enough that it can drop paratroopers before being shot down, especially in missions where it doesn't use apaches, where you wouldn't build SAMs.

>The AI only attacks one unit at a time

Apaches in SP are wired to go for your base first. See the Soviet Mission 9 for example.

>For example the A-10s in Tiberian Dawn only attacked the enemy closest to the upper-left corner of the map.

Yeah I know that.

>if your airstrips aren't defending by SAMs it's your fault.

If you wanna dish out 2-3 $750 SAMs to reliably attack Apaches to defend Yaks, sure. No, not worth it until the MiGs.

>one unit loss isn't that much of an issue.

It becomes an issue when there are multiple Apaches trimming down your numbers before you get to the enemy base.

Completely different code and play style. No reinforcements, guns are a lot deadlier/can actually destroy walls, and the sever is bit heavier on RP. The whole gimmick of the original was that you picked a side and played in organized "launches" with the results affecting the overall story.

I know the GAU-8 has penetrative shells but is it plausible to make ECM that cause canon/gun's proximity fuses to blow prematurely?

>>627542

>As for the second question, the HE fuses on the shells are contact fuses. No ECM would be able to trigger it or prevent it from going off. The kinetic penetrator shells have no fuses because the fuckoff heat and razor sharp fragments of armor and depleted uranium generated from the shells punching through whatever they hit is enough to start fires and reduce the crew to a steaming meat pile.

I know, thought I made that clear, I was just curious if you can do that with proximity fuzes that are or were generally mini-radar triggered.

>>627590

I'm no expert in ECM, but you would probably be better off with just using chaff to confuse air bursting rounds. This is also because anything that would take significant damage from air bursting projectiles would be too small to mount a proper ECM system.

>>627540

Frequency varies between individual shells, it would be extremely difficult for little payoff. Making it detonate ahead of time doesn't eliminate destructive power, as (after all) that's the point of fused munitions. Also the enemy can triangulate most jamming signals and drop point impact munitions on it cheaper than you can build jammers.

>>627466

FC2 stands above the rest for the sole fact that it isn't just another generic "you're the chosen average dude turned supersoldier" shooter. It actually touches upon things like mercenaries (who see ten times more combat, see ten times the atrocities and do ten times the dirty jobs national militaries do), weapons dealers (and how they see war in general), and how easy you can die in combat in a setting like Africa. On the theming aspect, it speaks volumes of truth without making a cinematic drama moviegame out of it.

You have to manage your health kits (by pulling bullets and shrapnel out of your body), ammo, weapon degradation (replacing when needed), dealing with long distances (which is frankly part of the package), Malaria, and so many other things. You have to supply your own equipment, keep yourself alive, hunt for diamonds, execute the wounded and so on. It doesn't hold your hand, and in fact disregards you to the point that you can get your ass killed even in the supposed "ceasefire zone" that's actually the only actual border between the two factions, a street walk away from each other.

While it does have its negative points like kevlarniggers and respawning checkpoints, there's already a mod that fixes that anyway. It's basically STALKER Lite: Africa Edition, except with less friendly NPCs.

>neither side acknowledges that all of their shit is getting fucked.

>The ending was also silly.

Both the player and the Jackal were wanted men without a job, no way out of Africa (remember the last plane took off at the beginning of the game), betrayed by their colleagues and clients, and had malaria with no hope of finding a treatment or cure. The Jackal went insane by the end of the game and both were on the run from a mob of angry niggers. They were dead men already; might as well end it and save some innocents while at it. I thought it fell into place nicely.

>>628857

Silly was the wrong word I was expecting a lengthy hell session in the last area of the game with the Jackal doing some Colonel Kurtz shit (this is the closest we'll get to a good Apocalypse Now game) so nevermind, it was a good ending. Probably it's cherry-picking but they could've put more emphasis on how high-value the MC becomes throughout the story aside from mercs shitting out their souls when they see you in a Jeep(tm) and other world-building instead. I noticed him smiling when you decide to blow yourself up while he goes to save the civilians.

>>628859

Yeah the ending was sort of a resolution after the climax (the betrayal of the other mercs trying to escape by plane), but it could've been more intense.

>this is the closest we'll get to a good Apocalypse Now game

What about that Apocalypse Now game being made?

>>628820

That's the joke retard

>>628863

I doubt it will turn out right, translating the prose of things to other mediums rarely does let alone for something interactive like a video game.

>>628885

Boring tbh. On lower difficulties it's just a matter of spamming molotovs, and on higher difficulties your fortifications get razed to the ground after just a few days. The best part of that game is making giant rafts and putting catapults on them.

Level up your (((merchants))) through quests and selling relevant shit to them - computer parts and "junk" to the doctor, weapons to gun dealers, etc.

Uninstall the game.

>>630881

Doesn't matter too much, the doctor is a bit easier if I remember right and Prapor just wants you to shoot shit.

Otherwise it just depends on what guns and equipment you want. Peacekeeper for NATO, Ragman for bags, rigs, and armor, Prapor for slavshit, Skier for poorfag civvie guns, etc.

Never use the Fence.

From reading up on Tarkov, thankfully never buying in, you should add the addendum 'or the legs if they have a good helmet.' Even buckshot to the legs will do in somebody with top-tier plate carrier & face protection if you shred them with a full tube. This along with dirt-cheap Mosin bushwhacker hobo runs was the cause of some consternation for affluent players who dare committing such sins as 'using modern guns' and 'bringing your own body armor.'

>>632281

That's not House.

>>632293

When i was in my lolbertarian phase i also picked house

Only later i realized that house enables degeneracy and social decay while only caring about profit of his little personal kingdom in a shape of new vegas

So, was it any of you I was shitting about the /k/ube in chat on RO2, or were they cuckchan bastards?

>>632350

Pardon me, Rising Storm 2 not RO2.

>>632353

Only egoists without any self retrospect would pick yes man over house

How can a mere courier (inb4 but muh int10 or old world blues tech!) that lived no more than 60 years and has almost no knowledge of pre war world can compete with augmented human that lived for over 200 years and will live for 200 more if not even longer. House was a genius while player is well… just a character in Mojave, not some kind of immortal half god. Just like Kimbal was assassinated (or almost assassinated depends on the play trough) so can be player, poisoned, shoot or killed via some other method. And dont give me shit about "but muh tech from the OWB". In the beginning of blood money player gets knocked out, captured and virtually enslaved by one man that could have killed him if he wanted. What makes anybody think this situation couldnt replicate in Mojave?

>>632369

House was just lucky though.

>>632369

>How can a mere businessman (inb4 but muh robots or old world tech!) that's lived in a tube for centuries and has almost no knowledge of the post war world compete with a human that is capable of rallying disparate and often conflicting factions together. The courier was a charismatic commander of men while House is well… just a pre-war inventor, not some kind of immortal half god. Just like Kimbal was assassinated (or almost assassinated depends on the play trough) so can be House, poisoned, shoot or killed via some other method. And dont give me shit about "but muh army from the chip". House can get knocked out, captured and virtually enslaved by the player that could have killed him if he wanted. What makes anybody think this situation couldnt replicate in the future?

House had his time, and it was in the pre-war world. He's a relic of a bygone age with dreams beyond his capabilities. Still a better choice than the NCR though.

>>632369

Also, could you explain how did you get to the conclusion that House is even remotely libertarian? I guess it's along the meme lines of natsocs claiming to be libertarian before.

>>632373

House doesn't give a single solitary shit what you do, and only demands some protection shekels from casinos and merchants on the strip, both of which are protected by his Securitrons. Even then, you're free to leave. Sounds NAP-compliant to me.

>>632382

Reminder that Courier is the only person that stepped into Lucky 38 in 200 years, if courier isnt gonna kill house then nobody but age will

>>632380

NAP compliant doesn't mean libertarian. Cesar's legion offers protection for traders for lower cost than NCR's taxes yet he's not libertarian. House also did fill Vault 21 with cement, he also seeks control over Mojave, even if his economic interventions were few at the time of events of New Vegas. If anything, he represents some kind of futuristic monarchy, where he's interested in control of some key points of the region and allows only few groups semi-autonomy in these regards, other positions remain intact from his influence. He mostly cares about the vision of his beloved city in the way he remembers it and tries to preserve its shape that way. He doesn't oppose anyone's activities as long as they don't change they way things are - secured by robots city, three families that represent different faces of the old world city and active life of a lively city, but neither does he respect anyone's autonomy or decisions and will remove any threat without a doubt, nor will he help anyone outside of his area of influence. He's a great example of a character with a true neutral alignment without all enlightened centrist or balance bullshit.

>>632385

hesitate, that's the word, sorry

>>632369

>Just like Kimbal was assassinated (or almost assassinated depends on the play trough)

Reminder that either Kimball was a mouth-breathing retard, or he was sent there to get assassinated so NCR has a casus beli for staying in Mojave

>>632372

Epic shitpost strayan, I'd expect nothing less.

Except house doesn't let anyone except courier inside lucky 38, and without the nice ability to stop time when it's convenient, there's no possibility for anyone to breach into house's stasis pod

>House

>Poisoned

he doesn't eat anymore.

>>632385

>House also did fill Vault 21 with cement

Because they lost at whatever gamble they were using against house to settle the dispute.

The parts that were cemented over had backdoors to critical strip infrastructure.

>>632385

>three families that represent different faces

Just a quick note, that house eradicated tribal identities identities of subhumans that were dwelling in the casinos while he was comatose and after awakening, gave them a choice to either LARP as his favorite pre-war stereotypes, or get evicted from the strip.

If you want to see what the strip would be like without house's interference, just look at freeside and westside.

As fun as Elvis LARPers are, their ideology makes Freeside a drug ridden shithole with no direction.

Well we can all agree on the following.

>Caesar and House are the only good choices.

>Yes man if you want to be a selfish prick and keep the wasteland as is.

>NCR if you're a ledditor, good goy, or commiefornian.

>>632385

The most libertarian faction would be the Kings. Their relations with the House are a great example of differences in their worldviews: House doesn't care about Freeside and largely ignores what's happening in there, cleanly drawing the line before his domain. He only starts acting when he attempts to spread his influence beyond the Strip after his victory - either killing them if they were playing good guys and helped the NCR or leaving them the way they are as a sign of respect for their resistance to republic's influence.

>>632388

Reminder that all the plan of Yes man was already going to be executed by Benny and House was not aware of it so it'd happen even if courier never survived to be the magical hero of the story.

>Because they lost at whatever gamble they were using against house to settle the dispute.

And why do you think the dispute has happened? Do you think that vaulters that resisted assimilation before would just accept a game where they lose what they have for no gain?

>house eradicated tribal identities identities of subhumans that were dwelling in the casinos

Not really, no. He picked the tribes explicitly because of the traits these tribes showed, he only made them more civilized and secured their state by erasing their history.

>their ideology makes Freeside a drug ridden shithole with no direction

You seem to be very keen on believing that. So keen in fact, as to ignore both the fact that any other big settlement is that way, be it under protection of NCR, some snipers or the courier, as well as being located near fiends, aka the most drug ridden savages in the Mohave.

>>632390

>Caesar

Caesar dies, legion rip. That tumor is not good either. A good choice if you want to larp as an inquisitor.

>House

Only if you want to be a selfish prick and keep the wasteland as is. He's literally that - keeping things as it is, as well as being a selfish prick. Go look up the endings, dreamer.

>Yes man

It largely depends on the carma - what lolberg are you today? Good guy that selflessly protects people, neutral bystander that kinda replaces House or baddie - what your grandma thinks when she hears the word "anarchist", basically ancom without communism, pretty badly written motivation.

>NCR

Would be for the goys but the courier might not be the goy here.

>>632388

>without the nice ability to stop time when it's convenient, there's no possibility for anyone to breach into house's stasis pod

If you can do it without sequence breaking the game or cheating, it's canon, because we never got a direct sequel to New Vegas. Therefore, it's entirely possible that House gets taken out by one single mailman with a nuclear arsenal in his ass in canon.

>>632397

Have to correct myself - neutral yes man doesn't replace House, or so it seems, he just kinda exists. These 3 options do seem kinda bland - good guy's motivation could be understood but others really do feel empty, reflecting on Fallout's pretty simplistic carma system that, unlike writing, didn't really change that much from F3. Neutral ending could make sense if the courier had some side goals like family, hobby or whatever that could explain why would he confront the fractions to the point of "fuck off you all" but there's nothing like that there. It's still better than bad one that can't have any motivation beyond plain autism.

>>632401

I meant VATS.

>>632391

>Do you think that vaulters that resisted assimilation before would just accept a game where they lose what they have for no gain?

They were bred for over 200 years to learn that gambling is the only just way for solving disputes.

>>632391

Freeside however has enough infrastructure and industrious people to not be a shithole, and look more like new reno with the strip being cream of the crop, however there is nobody to unite people and lead them to improvement.

>>632412

>They were bred for over 200 years to learn that gambling is the only just way for solving disputes.

That's why they accepted it. They still resisted assimilation and only agreed to this to save themselves. It's not like they'd gamble for anything with anyone just because - it was only for organization within the vault.

>however there is nobody to unite people and lead them to improvement

>everything's going good but they need someone to enslave them because it automatically makes things better

Russians don't need video games. Want Street Fighter? Go in the street. Want Need for Speed? Go on the road, and bring a dashcam. Want Arma? Go to Donbass

>>632555

>>632559

The gunplay in escape from tarkov feels absolutely perfect to me (when it works) and I've had some of the best firefights of any game ever in that game. Its come a long way in a year (almost all of the desync issues have been fixed) but the most recent update added a dynamic flea market driven economy and I'm currently not willing to pay 300k rubles for a single mag of 5.45

>>632564

Please, put this into perspective for me, how much grinding would it take to get 300,000 rubles in game?

>>632575

depends, are you really good and cheese the game mechanics/ are willing to run boring monotonous runs over and over? Maybe a day or so. Are you an average player? probably a week or so if you don't get unlucky and kill a couple of relatively nicely geared players.

I should have said armor penetrating 5.45 in retrospect. You can pick up gear off of other players but because of the flea market system people have been completely buying out the traders ammo supplies and listing the ammo for 10x the amount on the flea market and to the devs this is somehow a "accurate free market model". Yeah an artificially limited supply that only boters and autoclickers can exploit, accurate.

I played the shit out of the game and leveled quickly after the 10.5 wipe and realized too late that I wouldn't be able to use any of the high level gear i unlocked from the traders because I wasn't willing to pay 10 USD a round

>>632580

You can get 300k in a couple of hours if you get lucky and/or cheese marked room/shoreline, but still, that's the most miserable way of playing the game.

>>632515

diskord.gg/Whvwqmu

This one shouldn't expire

Tarkov's biggest mistake was adding bullet-proof helmet visors. It makes me assmad to see a game that strives to be a combat simulator, have people running around with stupid police riot visors on them that somehow protect against AP rounds. Like, what the fuck man? And the underage community thinks it's "realistic".

I just wish the devs would completely block all "feedback" and just focus on developing their stalker MISERY-tier combat sim.

Stop "balancing" rounds and armor, just make them realistic. Stop adding stupid unrealistic gear and stop listening to streamers.

>>632646

Why do fags in here and on /v/ always get asshurt when a game isn't single player?

>>632648

Autism prevents them from playing well with others. Did you really need to ask?

>>632649

But you don't even need to. It is free for all. And even when VOIP gets added and they don't want to have to listen to others, in the dev's own words"Just shoot it"

>>632651

>It never last

The game has AI in every map, anon. Even if the playerbase dropped down to single digits, you still have bandits to shoot and loot.

>>632651

>reacts with hostility to a person for reasons he, nor anybody else understands

>>632653

Except for the ones you bought a digital copy of, or need to own a 20-year old computer to play because they don't work on anything released post-98.

>>632576

>sadly

Why sadly? Who gives a fuck who makes good games?

>>632643

The best visor in the game will barely even protect you from 9mm (except the Altyn)

I actually really enjoyed having to aim for the head in that game.

>>632667

are you sure it's the case?

I've seen several somewhat old videos where soyboy streamers would be proud that they killed some poor low level player because their faceshield seemed to absorb a round or two from even larger calibres

Tarkov pisses me off the most with the way health and armor works and until they make and in-depth review of these, the game is gonna keep delivering rage and depression to me.

not to mention how strong some helmets in themselves are, resisting sks shots from point blank, it took me to a point where no matter what, If without a good weapon, I would always just consider shooting the legs to at least be sure that I'm hurting my opponents

And I never know how the game's working in said patch, one day it's long spray with an SMG to destroy armor and another patch it's headshot meta with armor piercing only, they never explain anything, at best they hand out some excel table and give players

>xdd guys here is new ammo table with damage and some unexplained arbitrary "penetration value" for bullets

and I'm not even gonna talk about what whiny reddit kids did to mosin, fucking gun needs to two shot people most of the time if not all the time now. A fucking bolt action, full calibre """sniper""" rifle

>>632693

The way armor, health and everything else work in that game is completely arbitrary due to the massive desync, lag and the atrocious hitboxes. You can shoot unarmored people in the head five times and they won't die, other times you'll onetap people perfectly.

>>632693

>>632694

Reminder there's a critical hit chance multiplier in this game referred to as "fragmentation" where your bullet just has a chance of dealing more damage. Same with penetration.

>>632693

Yeah, in tarkov caliber matters less than the penetration value. There is a guy on youtube that does super indepth armor videos. Like I said I actually really enjoyed having to aim with weapons and armor actually mattering. If you can't get good AP ammo just use HP and aim for the legs. 7.62PS will penetrate any helmet level 3 or below and the only helmets level 4 and above are atleast 150k rubles or more. I actually think the mosin really broke the game and being able to 1 shot a player that brought 400k worth of gear at level 1 makes the game no fun.

>And I never know how the game's working in said patch, one day it's long spray with an SMG to destroy armor and another patch it's headshot meta with armor piercing only, they never explain anything

true, one of the biggest complaints in the community right now is that we have no idea what they are adding or changing half the time

>>632697

this

>>632698

I kind of like how the armor changes the way we percieve things, but the problem is the game has this simplistic health mechanics where dropping down healthbar only on chest and head kills you but any other shot just sort of cripples you, the stomach zone is the funniest because it just leaks the fucking water out of your stomach because reasons

if the game had stuff kind of like newer red orchestras have, with spine, heart, balls, kidney hitzones and so on i would like it so much more

not to mention armor actually having it's hitzones and elements like steel or ceramic plates that you insert, soft armor underneath and covering places that plates can't - you probably see what I'm getting at

with changes like this there would be no more juggernaut fort armor that acts as if it was titanium plate armor covering whole torso and a bit more, armor would protect against accidents, stray/lucky shots and give an edge in slugfests or protect against shit-tier guns instead of being what it is now

>>632586

What's your recommendation to making money when you're just starting out? All traders are level 1 and only have shit with no armour making dying super easy. Farming scavs barely give you anything. Players are now running around with M4s and Fort armor/Gen4s. What do

>>632706

>healthbar only on chest and head kills you but any other shot just sort of cripples you, the stomach zone is the funniest because it just leaks the fucking water out of your stomach because reasons

Chances are anything you see in the game right now regarding mechanics is going to change in the future. That's why when a request becomes popular you will always just see the devs respond "planned" or "soon" if we are lucky. The amount of content the devs add into the game on a regular basis is honestly incredible. I mean look at 10.5

Soon

>armor would protect against accidents, stray/lucky shots and give an edge in slugfests or protect against shit-tier guns instead of being what it is now

I mean tbh that is how it is now. Once you get to a certain level everyone is either shooting:

5.45BS

.308 M62/M61 (you can 1 shot a fort with m61)

5.56 M995

and now 4.6 APSX or whatever that gay OP ammo is called

>>632721

Watch videos from a guy called "pestily" he got to level 40 on day 1 of the wipe. I haven't played played tarkov in a few weeks but check the fleamarket for high priced low slot usage quest items like Gas-ANs, Gphones, graphics cards, T-plugs, circuit boards and wilston cigs ect. I was level 26 by day 3 because I played way too much in the early wipe and that's how I made most of my money. Farming scavs is less about making money and more about getting decent weapons for free that you can invest a little money on to make pretty good.

>go into raid with shotty or pistol

>tap a scav in the head maybe get lucky get an SKS and a PACA or something

>Players are now running around with M4s and Fort armor/Gen4s

You are not supposed to win every fight. if you see players that are geared and you don't think that you can 1 tap them in the head; just let them pass. You can't win every fight and if you start shooting at them and feel that the tide is turning in their favor try to run/hide and ambush them as they will inevitably come looking for you.

>>632749

>Tarkov is already a pretty great game they just need to fix some bugs

>you're either ignorant or outright lying about the numerous flaws with the…..

Like what for example? It's so hard to talk about the issues with tarkov because they are either changing every day or are currently being worked on.

>broken optics and zeroing issues

Yeah, currently being worked on. Last I heard they released something that atleast partly fixed some of the issues with the optics. For now just run your FOV at 65 or below and only use the HAMR if you want a 4x

>Invisible scav/players

they are currently working on this but it's not easy because it's extremely hard to replicate. in 10.5 it happened a lot less frequently than in .10 so, atleast that's nice.

>ammo bug and armor bug

This is half reality half tarkov player base myth. Two extremely elusive bugs that probably happen a lot less than people say. There are ways to mitigate being effected by the bugs but they are still annoying none the less. Not being to know if you were killed legitimately or if your armor was secretly not there is extremely frustrating and guess what? Is another one of the reasons that I'm taking a break until .11

I'm so sick of shitting on tarkov. at it's core it's such a great game. No doubt one of the best games I've ever played and some of my favorite pvp but yeah it has it's flaws. Please remember that this game is not finished and is still far far away from being. All of the games that I've really been enjoying for the last couple years are either dead (WOTR) or completely fucking broken with no hope of being fixed (For Honor). I'm kind of sick of shitting on games at this point

>That sounds like a lot of autism.

I ended last wipe at I think level 46 after a few months so yes a lot of autism

>So just avoid players until I reach a good enough level with the traders?

Avoid taking fights in a disadvantages position unless you have good ammo*

One of the greatest things about tarkov (imo) is that the more experienced you become in tarkov the better you will do. Once you get to the point where losing that gear doesn't really mean anything to you, you will stop valuing loot and start valuing pvp. It really takes practice and time to have fun in tarkov

Anon, Have you Tried using the M1A (Auto M14)? Is the gun good and fun to use. Do you know which map has a high spawn rate in-game? Just started playing the game for atleast a week

>>632754

Optimization is better now but it still has a ways to go give it a few more months for patches and free content

>T-There was no compromise!

Now BSG are censoring people criticizing the game, what a fucking joke.

>BSG showed off some 0.11 shit and leaked a few items

I've seen a lot of pathetic shit in my life, but this, this is magical.

Just wait till you have to play CSA Chickamauga, that battle is a real shitshow. Braxton Bragg was a mistake.

>The MD5 thing isn't true, it's just some hacker trying to undermine the game

>Eroktic has no respect to BSG or the IP

The way these people get so defensive about this shitheap is absurd

>>633051

Oh and by the way they struck all of his tarkov videos

>>633058

That's what 140$ of buyer's remorse does for ya. I mean, just look at a certain "anon" in this thread. there's also a guy on /v/ that praises the shit out of the game whenever it's brought up, but disappears as soon as you point out that "I've never seen that bug" isn't a proper argument

>>633063

Maybe they'll learn when BSG takes down another tarkov eceleb's videos after he gets burnt out

>>633063

I just don't understand why people do this.

there's this one game I'm slightly shilling for which is second battlefleet gothic armada, but I'm willing to admit any of it's problems.

While these people have this fucking slave mindset that makes them protect their masters whenever anything happens, it's also noticable when a topic of piracy comes up - but that's not the matter now.

If I paid 140$ for the game which is the amount of cash it does not deserve, even if it was a complete game with all maps and shit and I would recieve a guarantee from mr. Jesus himself that they'll keep developing it I would still be mad at any stupid shit they would pull off instead of sucking their cock.

>>633066

I don't understand people who simply can't own it up to themselves that they spent money on an objectively bad videogame. I have bought some really fucking bad games, I own Tarkov, for God's sake, but I never think "Oh, it's not that bad" or "But it'll be good in a year!". I spent money on actual shit, and there's nothing I can do about it, oh well.

>>633069

Also it's not bad ;^)

According to this guy, a anonymous BSG employee claims there's a bitcoin miner in the Tarkov launcher.

>>633096

Actually let me be more clear; according to an anonymous BSG employee who posted in Eroktic's honeypot, claims that he handles the support tickets and he got a ticket claiming that someone found a bitcoin miner being installed into his system. When he brought it up to upper-management, they basically told him to "Shut the fuck up or get the fuck out."

>>632992

did any anon saved the vid?

can you atleast use arty on their ass? Bombard the fuckers till they surrender

Just because it's in Croatian, doesn't mean I took that picture I got it off the tarkov subrebbit, because I was checking for juicy drama

They really are Russian Jews.

>>633235

Bigfry made another video. He claims that there's devs on Reddit who say they've had conversations about striking other channels for criticizing them.

>>632445

>Living in a place where one has access to food, water and housing

Two of those aren't true unless you join the Elvis LARPing gang and the third is debatable since around 90% of the none Elvis LARPers either live in a bombed out building or in tents in the fort.

>>633243

Apparently they've done that publicly in their "community ambassador" goycords.

>>633307

>Two of those aren't true unless you join the Elvis LARPing gang

No, you still get access to food, water and shelter if you live there, it's just not for free. There's also westside with its own militia and food/water production.

You have water supplied with the pump and the only debatable thing about it is bullying NCR citizens by doubling the price on it. Food is also quite plentiful, from dishes in the hotel and NCR farms nearby to rodents eatable for the poorest(which are also food that is quite rare in that it won't try to eat you in turn and can be hunted by children). They also have income sources for that, be it gun runners, crimson caravan or that bar or local stores. I also didn't mention medical care and help provided by the Followers, that's even freely provided.

>third is debatable since around 90% of the none Elvis LARPers either live in a bombed out building or in tents in the fort.

Literally every house outside of Strip is a bombed house, these are a bit more damaged but they are still in similar condition to many stone houses outside. Wooden ones are also in better shape only because they have been fixed more.

Also this "Elvis LARPing gang" is providing protection from attacks free of charge and keeps crime mostly in the valleys and back streets, aside from the most reckless and probably lost and hopeless ones.

>>633300

No, I generally tend to keep unit size somewhere around that size. There's not enough good quality rifles to go around, and it's quite a bit more flexible to go with many smaller units than a few big ones. One can utilize terrain better, and thus create better killzones, and more importantly, deny enemy terrain features, like cover, river crossings, etc.

Too bad about the escape from tarkov. I would have wanted it to be good, but alas, it's just yet another multiplayer only game with borderline incompetent developers that can't take criticism worth shit.

>>633389

>gun manufacturers wanting to nuke tarkov

Wat?

>>633393

Another anon stated some eight months ago that DevilDogGamer youtube eceleb, is in good contact with a shitload of gun manufacturers, specifically Glock dropped some hints at how BSG has no rights to show any guns they actually use in the game. They specifically told one of those manufacturers to fuck off after they were made an offer in which they'd be allowed to use their products in the game for FREE. Turns out he meant business, and after this whole mess and after BSG doubled down on their bullshit twice, he's going to sic all of their legal teams on BSG for copyright infringement. The best Christmas gift a boy could ask for.

First 10-15 minutes of this.

>antietam

This is so fucking stupid. Who was the fucktard that thought it be a good idea that you are only given control of one third of the battlespace and troops at the time?

>yea cool, I'll just anchor the defensive line between the city and river, grind the enemy down by sheer weight of artillery fire on the open part of the defensive line, do some harassing attacks with cavarly and sniper teams, and then start pushing back retaking those arbitrary objectives

<lol no, mission is over after second phase because you didn't throw units at that open field in bumfuck middle of nowhere

Never ever, into the trash, etc. etc.

>>633486

>Aside from the fact Bin Laden stayed in Pakistan for the whole 10 years.

How is an illegal immigrant slipping through their porous borders equivalent to sending support to a terrorist network?

>>633488

Those are pretty standard fare in the Middle East. It's not as if he was living at an embassy or barracks.

>>633486

>I don't believe it's true anymore, SOME games have come out of Early Access hell well.

Only ones I can think of are Mount and Blade, Kenshi (both of which long predated the idea), some Kickstarter games where beta access was a backer reward (most of which were shit or still beta when they "released"), and Age of Decadence (which didn't go on EA till it spent half a decade+ in development and private beta).

>>633491

>Nope, not everybody or anyone can afford a compound in the Middle east.

Well, that's some pretty conclusive proof, isn't it? Who knew that Al Qaeda had slush funds and wealthy anonymous backers?

>>633454

So US Army Simulator and in the end you can never win just like real life Unless you bomb Israel

IT BEGINS

>>633516

tl;dw?

Went as far as the license of agreement misuse part against fair use and still did not get what the drama is about.

>>633346

Nice, that's always how I organized my army's too. Extremely flexible and hold my super high morale lever action unit in reserve until I was either losing or needed to push a flank. It's been a while since I played that game but I remember preferring a small number of troops all with good equipment over shit tier farmer musket with 10000 nigs per reg

>>633560

Guy says game has security issue, devs claim there is no security issue, they then copyright strike his jewtube account 47 times because he was "generating negative hype", then two days later release a patch that fixes the specific security issue the guy pointed out. Fat Jim Sterling and a shitload of other jewtubers catch onto this, situation explodes, DDG pulls out the nuclear option and informs his contacts in Glock, SIG and Trijicon about the fact that EFT uses their products without a license, and then vid related happens.

>>633618

>The Taliban were largely founded by Pakistan's Interior Ministry under Naseerullah Babar and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in 1994

Pakistan was supporting the Taliban so they could use Afghanistan as a strategic retreat in the event of war with India, but they didn't directly support Al-Qaeda since they were autistic.

>We are engaged in the Great Game in Afghanistan, we are told, because 'strategic depth' is vital for Pakistan due to the fact that our country is very narrow at its middle and could well be cut into half by an Indian attack in force.

>Strategic depth, we are further informed, will give respite to our armed forces which could withdraw into Afghanistan to then regroup and mount counter-attacks on Indian forces in Pakistan.

https://archive.is/TX3nm

https://archive.is/M725J

In addition the government that the coalition put in place was pro-India:

>In the interview, Musharraf admitted that during his tenure as the head of state, Pakistan had tried to undermine the government of former Afghan president Hamid Karzai because Karzai had helped "India stab Pakistan in the back".

>The former army chief said spies in Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had given birth to the Taliban after 2001 because the government of Ghani's predecessor had an overwhelming number of non-Pashtuns and officials who were said to favour India.

>“Obviously we were looking for some groups to counter this Indian action against Pakistan,” he said. “That is where the intelligence work comes in. Intelligence being in contact with Taliban groups. Definitely they were in contact, and they should be.”

Nice. EFT is shit and their behavior deserves such a reaction.

>>633781

off map reinforcements or Game allows Paradrop?

>>634333

Because it is a game in which AI hates you. I think the way to resolve that mission was to abuse the ATGM and the machine gun hilux.

>>634440

The ATGM must be abused. Either the missile takes out the tank or you have to restart the mission. I'd use the technicals better if I figured out when they can actually hit the enemy and when right click = charge.

also all infantry I put into buildings dies

>>634483

all games until blood money had licensed guns, absolution is shit with bad gunplay, and gamplay as well.

2016 and 2018 bootleg guns aren't as offensive looking like MGSV.

not an authority on the matter but I'd give it a 5/10 on a /k/ scale, where 1 is noguns, and 10 is World of Guns: Gun dissassembly but also with real ballistics in gameplay.

>>634470

Infantry is throughoutly hopeless against vehicles, until atgm's get involved, and, even then, you have to micromanage them in order to resupply them with new missiles if those atgm-teams are inside buildings or trenches.

Don't get too attached to infantry. Abuse sniper teams equipped with 12.7mm anti-material rifles, as they can get shit done against infantry inside buildings in a cost efficient manner. As with everything in that game, it partially boils down to dumb luck wethever or not your tanks or atgm's get a good hit on enemy vehicle, as the terrain feature representation is bit lacking, sometimes, that fucking atgm hit's a tiny terrain feature when trying to hit a moving target. Generally, getting atgm units to highest possible elevation helps greatly with this issue.
