    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    Don't overthink it. Its just the website trying to politely call overly expensive whores "overly expensive whores" without getting cancelled. I went to check it out cause I thought it would be funny and they do a lot of that sort of naming scheme. Never got results though cause they want you...

    Didn't see your post or I woulda answered and not double posted, but yeah. I play Dota. SA is the curse placed upon the west and 'jajajajaja' is a common thing. We have a shit load of problems with South American players boosting, smurfing, cheating etc. Russians too oddly, but "Build the...

    What I glean by their design is they seem to have the balance of vehicles built around combat vehicles being money sinks, and transport vehicles being the money maker. Run supplies and people to make money, then go do your combat runs and slowly lose it unless you are on a hot streak. I...

    I am going to be frank. I listened to their video and all their talk about cheating and to me, its all just PR and spin. The video of them going onto the boosted server, resetting all the accounts, filming it and laughing? Yeah. Sure. They did that. I believe 100% they did. But why? Then...

    Honest answer is I don't think the devs understand player motive vs 'their vision' of how players play. I don't think they really know what they are doing and so making best guesses on what their ideas are is very hard, cause it doesn't make sense. What little I have gathered leads me to...

    Logistics and taxi pilot is a money maker, long as the CZ isn't overstacked with AA and such. I was specifically referring to the combat birds being balanced as money sinks. The S1 pilots talk about how tough it is to make money as a Mini bird or rocket pilot and that is where I am saying I...

    I get the impression that is the idea behind their balance. If you bring out big effect items, its prolly going to run you into the red on money unless you get a really good run. So you have to mix it up between money making logistics or cheap kit runs and ideally coordinate your big heavy...

    I have to confess with more than a little amusement how hard this game seems to have fallen off. No one on my friends list is playing anymore, lobbies seem to be fewer and take longer to fill up. Have the streamers dropped it? I did a cursory check and I didn't see any names I recognize...

    Where ground vehicles really seem to pay off is in the beginning. Go rush enemy FOB and Logi. I don't have them unlocked yet myself, so can't confirm it works from that end, but from the receiving end. Take a couple RPGs or stuff that lets you blow up Urals and rush the enemy's natural FOB...

    When it comes to hit boxes and clipping. Well, when it come to a lot of things I think these devs are retarded. More I dig into the game, the more and more I see WTF shit. But, on clipping. Helicopters are horseshit. All the pilots crying about how they can't make money anymore need to be...

    I have no idea why it quoted you. I misclicked, erased and reloaded the page and... it dropped this. vOv I wouldn't worry about the Ural exploits. The dropping stuff just outside the starting zone has been fixed. Running pallets to the FOB is fine and perfectly acceptable. I get absolute...

    Unfortunately, for driver XP grind it really is the only choice unless you get people to ride in your car. You can get the M249 kodiak pretty quick iirc, but there really is just a gap in other ways to grind driver. Also apparently Ping bans are not working either. Seeing lot of people with...

    This game is so fucking ass in a lot of its little things. So this picture is me using free camera to show where my muzzle is in relation to the box in front of me. It is clearly above the box. You see the two dead bodies in the distance? Ok. So, once I shouldered the weapon to aim down...

    The problem with helicopters, and to a lesser extent the artillery tanks etc, is you will never be able to balance them well enough that they are fun and enjoyable for your average guy without being OP in the hands of skilled pilots. They have a near global presence and can go anywhere. If...

    Even more so, a rather boring clip of a "Level 1 Pilot" who barrel rolls his bird to dodge incoming missiles then jumps out after making last minute adjustments to aim his helo at something I can't see. It crashes into a tower, gets him a kill and levels him up to Level 2 Pilot. Oh, and he has...

    Depends highly on engagement. If I get caught out I'm screwed. But... if I catch someone else out, which happens a decent amount, if they're in good armor with a lvl 30 weapon it doesn't matter. I put 6 AP AK47 shots into a guys back (I don't have high level assault unlocked) and he just...

    Friend of mine and I were talking about the changes and we seriously question if the devs are playing the same game we are on the same servers? Do they play mostly amongst themselves in a walled garden? Are they in a different region? They talk about how T4 armor isn't a big deal, cause not a...

    That is where I am sitting at atm, but obviously far more time spent in Recon. Its just... easier. And I'm prolly one of those assholes that kills you way out in the middle of no where near no objectives. Cause, sadly, the incentives for the game are all messed up and at odds with each other...

    How is the keyboard setup? Normally A/D and Q/e are Yaw and Roll, depending on preference and W/S are Pitch? When you go into free cam mode are those keys no longer bound? I can't do M/K cause the muscle memory for me is horrible so not familiar with it. Too many buttons all on top of each...

    I fly on a controller. I'm told mouse and keyboard is actually superior for Wardogs if you can get the muscle memory down, cause they have done a weird thing with HOTAS that causes it to have binary inputs and not gradual ones so if you manage to get good at M&K you're going to be near the top...

    The Verbas are bad. What you have to do is wait for the guy to flare and fire before the flares go out, right as they are fading. And you have to be close enough that the pilot's flare counter doesn't reset letting him flare again. But not too close that the old flare still has enough juice...

    Ok. Cheating is rife in this game and I'm about done. I get the recon and spotting mechanic, but at this point I think that is covering for people using ESP. You can't see the dots unless you look through a recon scope. I know there is a gimmick of entering a helicopter while using a scope...

    I've seen Blue win quite a few times, but it definitely feels map and helo dependent most times. On maps where Blue gets a good base, the Zest map being one commonly, where they can build inside hard structures is often a good one for blue. The other is if they have pilots. So much of the...

    I went into some of the 50 on 50, 2 team servers. Felt a lot better. Community servers ofc, so lot more communication and active team work but it felt a let more epic than the normal modes. It was a slog though, but it felt an actual tactical game with team work, maneuver, bases of fire etc...

    New maps and more variety would be very welcome. Also bigger CZ in my opinion. They have oddly limited the ranges of weapons in weird ways. As to settings, hate to tell you but always has been, going all the way back to Counterstrike. You want the game to look beautiful, great. But your...

    The reason you still see AMPs atm is its legit good. AMP with a good attachments is a short range blender that lets me just delete people. Its also decently accurate at range and word on the street is it is pound for pound better than the other SMGs until you hit the Vector. I use it a lot when...

    I have questions for Bulkhead, and while I think they are skilled developers, I firmly believe the 'attitude' and such is marketing PR and spin.

    To a good pilot, the AA is not really a threat. Flares are 100% successful to all missiles in the air and they stay low enough they are out of LOS of most places that are defended. If its tall and able to have good LOS, its usually easy to snipe or kill with the helicopter itself. The flares...

    This is more what I meant. Bigger control zone. So much of the map is rather wasted. If you notice they kinda hide this it seems by changing the center of the CZ on different iterations of the same map. The problem with attack Helo's is how do you balance them properly? If you make them...

    Cheats are also back today. Seeing the full auto SVD again. I guess its in response to the GL Helos, cause if I was a cheater I'd fire up the old tools to just nuke GL Helos. The problem with the game is I don't think they can balance it honestly. When it works, its fun, and that when it...

    We just had another match with 2 GL little birds and a Havok. If you have a CWIS you can usually get one, but you don't live long enough to get all of them. Its too easy for them to come in low and just grenade the entire fob. Once they get the CWIS and Talon's down, they just do orbits. If...

    Yeah. There is almost assuredly some aim bot that is being used. As you said, exact number of hits, through cover, smoke. My favorite was through the spaces on a pallet stack. Not even enough room to scope through the gap and get your muzzle in the gap as well. I see it mostly with the SVD...
