​Yeah for real, these people are just annoying as hell. Sure the update has some problems but it seems like most people think that an engine change is that simple. I'm surprised they didnt have even more bugs when you think about last updates and events. Also they added so many good new and fun things on top of all that, but some crybabies only focus on ui and call the game "unplayable" because of it, thats just pathetic... I mean the problems with like amd and stuff sucks (but also some of it happens because people use their 15 year old pc to Play hunt, maybe its time to simply upgrade after all that time tho). But to simply give an game a bad review (with means that the game sucks) only because they dont like the look of the new ui, in which they maybe spend 5-10% of their total game time in... I dont even have words for that, its just beyond dumb. Maybe they shouldve used their energy to simply write normal critics to the devs and just say, which aspects they could improve but hey, that would cost 5 minutes of their time 😅

I have to say, as a 2-3 star, slug shotguns are the thing to use. For instance, I recently had one trio match where my group came upon around 7 different people using auto5/slate slug guns (2 trios, 1 solo). the majority of these people were listed as under lvl20 prestige0, so I imagine many of these players are old with new accounts. quite fun, though.

[@jayhongfr]

My old gtx 1070 ti is struggling on this new update, even with DLSS (running 2k res, even 1080 is rough) can't wait to play again once I build a new PC update: sorry yall, i meant fsr. but im having graphical bugs like consistent shimmering on the edges when there's motion (e.g. character arms, esp skin parts get bundles of star shimmers). stuttering seems to be a major issue as well, but that was already part the case all throughout the years of lack of optimiziation in this game. edit 2: yes, i'm well aware of the new min spec and the age of the gpu. thats not my point though and i have no issue with upgrading as I've planned it out for some time now.

Hornet would you recommend the rival over the romero on console,i like both but sometimes i just feel like the romero is a pc gun

[@tobybll]

I know you asked him but if you allow some knowledge. The Romero has more range but only one shot. The Rival has two shots and therefor if the first misses, you got another one in the chamber. Romero means you gotta position and calculate your movement very well if your shots dont land. Same goes for nearly all shot guns but most other shotguns have more than two bullets, so these two need good movement and in the best case (good aim) you can get OS with both weapons on the right distance. Its probably what suits YOU best. The one shot Romero and move for reload or the double shot Rival.

I honestly think it's ridiculous how strong shotguns are now. They we're inconsistent before and it was frustrating tagging someone 2 m in front of you who was in dead center of the cross hair without killing, sure. But then you could just make the cross hair represent the true spread area, have the spread consistent but increase it a little bit and also not increase the damage over distance. Of course that's not realistic, if it was the spread would be even smaller and you could kill someone on 30 m easily. No one would play anything else than shotguns anymore.... Now I'm afraid of the compounds on the old maps which already were hard to get in, but now it's going to be a nightmare.... But: cryteck seems very responsive lately, so I hope for some adjustments....
