[@glawio]

Headshot multipliers are key in this game. Plus the fact that spatial sound design is great and footsteps are very loud usually makes it way easy to pre aim and or pre fire most of the time so you’re not just blindly running into someone

[@Mark-MTZ]

Yup happens all game long at times

[@jockwithajoystick]

@@glawioexactly. Landing headshots is key to reducing the TTK enough so you have time to be ready for the next gunfight. Another point, just like any other FPS, learn the maps. The more familiar with the map, the less you’ll be surprised by an enemy and the more you’ll be able to predict where the next enemy will come from

So its just CoD with a different skin then.

[@jiffycrimso5691]

Agreed. The killcam was in the beta. Why they don't have that fixed at launch after beta (for a year) is beyond me. Same with numerous other things. But this game is holding up well for your arcade shooter and its delayed release.

[@nijego]

A lot of times it feels like the damage is ramping up. The last half of a an enemy's healthbar just disappeares instantly while the first half feels like it takes forever to drop

[@ar.71944]

For me it's always when they're around 44hp which is where the bullets just don't hit or take slower to hit

[@F3aRlesSGaming1]

That’s from the headshot multiplier I think

[@Blade_Of_Miquella_1]

It‘s possible that the recoil of your weapon leads you from bodyshot in the beginning to headshots on the last shots dealing more damage

[@CrazySuperJEBUS]

This is very likely a case of you aiming at center mass but as you’re shooting the recoil eventually jumps your aim to their head for the last few shots.

[@Azeria]

the issue i have with jump shotting is that it’s a keyboard and ‘pro’ controller only tactic when everyone has a space bar or a back button controller, it’s fine, it’s fair but you really can’t do it on a standard controller

[@johng94x]

The problem is most of these players are too used to slow games with no movement, they can’t handle it.

Already dropped the game because of the awful netcode. They barely fixed anything from the first few network tests. Game feels like early Treyarch COD with how bad the hit detection and netcode are. Fire 5-7 shots at the opponent, your bullets suddenly phase out of this dimension and don't hit the opponent. Meanwhile you get hit with one superbullet from the opponent and die, then witness as they're suddenly warping and zipping around the screen with juttery animations like they're randomly being rewound and fast forwarded.

[@omegaxtrigun]

Honestly the jump shotting problem for me is more that you can just spam jump with no penalty, no fatigue, and no delay between jumps. Jump shotting and people being good at movement is one thing. But spamming jump has no skill gap or skilled play. It’s just mashing jump repeatedly as fast as possible. There should either be some accuracy penalty after jumping multiple times in quick succession or some kind of fatigue or just a delay between being able to jump again. It’s nonsensical that I run into people quite often that just spam jump any time they’re in a gunfight and it works. They’re not air strafing. They’re not slide canceling into a jump. Just literally mashing jump in a gunfight. It’s incredibly goofy and nonsensical and braindead.

[@JadigertheReal]

He every army goes so in the fight! You absolut right, its so stupid.

[@zombieblaster5754]

my solution is reverse aim assist. if you press jump too many times the game should force your sights away from the enemy forcing you to correct it.

[@essencessentials]

Not sure what you talking about, but there are plenty penaltys for jumping repetitively. Like, everything you said... and yea, i agree, just spamming jump wont make you skilled at jumping and gunning.

[@audiophizile13]

Yeah there is pretty much no "movement" in this game. The movement itself is clunkier than most games I've ever played except maybe pubg. Spamming jump is not a skill movement technique. Game really just feels really bad overall

I'm not really a fan of a long ttk in general but the finals does a pretty good job with it, hopefully they can take some notes.

[@-Zelo]

I mean you said it yourself man, "try to counter a GOOD sniper" no one complains when an average player picks up a sniper but when its a good player its considered OP now... If the average player picks up an OP regular gun then they'd instantly do better but that same player wont make a sniper look OP because it takes more skill to use properly. If they're good then they probably deserve the kill because sniping is not as easy as it looks in this game even without the flinch. I can promise that if that same good sniper picked up a regular gun he'd have double the kills.

My top 2 *design* problems: weapon leveling, snipers not having flinch

[@-Zelo]

Lol sniping is not easy in this game. Everyone always wants flinch added so they can get an easy kill on the sniper. In cod, its annoying how NO ONE is scared of peaking and spraying at a sniper because they know he wont hit his shot with the flinch making his scope aim torwards the sky. Snipers already have the disadvantage in this game with the fast paced gameplay and movement being a thing while also being slow to scope in and shoot. If you're getting beat by a sniper chances are you aren't a very good player or they're actually a good player and can hit their shots.

[@valakivalakifalvai137]

@@-Zelo Without flinch the outcome of that gunfight is purely on the sniper's part, if they hit they won, they miss they die, whereas if flinch is a balancing factor the opponent also has a way to have a saying in the outcome, without flinch peaking at a sniper is like flipping a coin, and flipping a coin is not very engaging for most (myself included) With flinch the sniper has to be quick to place their shot, creating skill gap which is a positive in this case in my opinion as it isn't cheesy to just do the default just better I'm not saying hitting a random shot should make you win the fight instantly, but a scope glints suddenly appearing after the 3rd or 4th hit should be insignificant instead of meaning your efforts were wasted like currently are, I'm even fine with them buffing their ads speeds to compensate, just give us non-snipers something to fight back with I almost never loose if I see them miss, but that is the exception in my experience and I'm not a sitting duck, I abuse the movement to make myself a hard target to hit as much as I can, but it's not enough Sorry, but skill issue on your part then if you find sniping hard, I'm usually a very bad sniper in games, but in this game my avg k/d is about 1.5x as good with snipers then with ars/smgs and so far it has been that I'm in the top 3 in the entire lobby 99% of the time

​@-Zelo it's slow to scope in. But does that matter? Scoping in is the same speed as it is in cod but the ttk of regular weapons are much slower. So medium range where ar's excel is where snipers also excel. The fact that you defend snipers having no flinch when the base gun ttk is this low says how much u rely on sniping. The purpose of a sniper is meant to be 1 shot ttk and the best long range capabilities, not out guning every single gun outside of close range

@@arcticowl1091 no, they’re not that hard to kill, you just need to be good at tracking with your aim. The problem is, the hit registration do to the connection causes what you’re seeing and shooting to not be the same as the information that the game server is receiving. This means that you could shoot someone in the head with a hit scan weapon and the person you shot was in the process of jumping and the game registers it as you hitting their body even though on your screen, you clearly shot them in the head. It doesn’t matter as much for certain guns like LMGs, SMGs, and shotguns, but for weapons that require or heavily reward really good accuracy, like marksman rifles, snipers, pistols, and a couple of the assault weapons, it can very easily get you killed and there is nothing you can do about it because even if you get your connection to be the lowest, you’ll still experience this bug if the people you’re shooting are lagging.

My biggest issue is the amount of time to find a lobby, only to get put in the losing side of a mostly over game, then the lobbies disband so rinse and repeat. I get that it happens sometimes, but it’s been happening TOO much

I don't know what the purpose of disbanding lobbies is if there isn't any SBMM. It takes me at least a minute or two to find a match and I'm thrown into a game half of the time when we lose by a ton. It's not balanced at all. I'm terrible at the game but I'm always top of my team or second place. It shouldn't be putting multiple players on my team that are going like 3-30. Especially when I'm a like a 0.7 KD player

1 shots in these high ttk games is tuff. They can either be god tier or dog shit tier.

not sure if this a skill issue or a registration issue but I feel TTK is too high and if you win a fight and start another one instantly you are probably lower on ammo and health compared to the other player thats facing you directly there's no chance to win even if you start shooting first that's really annoying to me.

[@davidc1961utube]

I can totally understand how these are the main two issues for high skill players like Ace, but for me, the TTK is a deal breaker when combined with the hyper-mobility. Those of us in the lower half of the skill gap pyramid are getting slaughtered. I am a .9KD 1.5 W-L COD player in hardcore, and after 4+ hours of actual play time I quit playing with a KD under 0.4 If all the "low skill" players like me are run off, all your lobbies are going to be try-hards only. And before you tell me to "just get better" , I am 62. Not happening, so back to COD HC.

[@hjalleson309]

the jumpshotting thing is just dumb, i remember the first time i saw someone strafing while jumping, it felt completely impossible to win that gunfight, after that i started doing it, and my k/d instantly doubled, AT LEAST. i also despise the argument that complaining about this is a skill issue, because pressing a d a d a d a d while spamming spacebar is not hard, it takes no skill whatsoever.

What I'm most worried about is the game getting stale for me in the long run for the reason of no kill streak rewards. I'm not asking for anything like a chopper gunner or any type of lethal kill streaks at because even just a UAV and an Advanced UAV at like 10 kills would make all the difference. If we can't have anything like that well even just a kill streak medal would satisfy me. It makes no sense at all we have all the medals popping up but nothing that tells us what kind of streak we are on every 5 kills. Even a kill counter would make all the difference. That's all I need to keep me playing for a long time. BUT I've only been able to have enough time to play like 10 games and I'm 10-0 playing solo and that because of no SBMM, so I will say even that has been a night and day better experience over COD.

I’m not entirely sure why they aren’t incorporating prone stance. Laying down behind cover seems like a fundamental and necessary mechanic for any shooter. There have been numerous occasions since I have began playing XD where I could have survived in a gunfight or completed an OBJ capture if I would’ve been able lie down behind a structure.

[@carterpritchard5063]

Weapon level up is painfully slow. I also wish I could go prone so I could drop shot. Hit registration has also been horrible I have a solid 30-50 ping when playing so there is no reason why my bullets shouldn’t be doing damage especially when I’m getting the hit markers for it.

There’s nothing noteworthy to keep me coming back to this game. MW3 up to BO3 was peak shooter game experience. Even with BO3 having exosuits and abilities, the movement was fun, felt fair, and I didn’t mind dying to abilities. In this game it just pisses me off when someone dives onto the objective and firebombs, or insta kill flame thrower, not to mention wall hacks and one shot pistol with wall hacks. It’s kind of ridiculous. There’s also nothing to work towards both in game and outside of matches. No killstreaks, no calling cards or emblems to earn, just gun attachments and shitty free battle pass rewards. The best things about MW3 were having hundreds upon hundreds of calling cards and emblems to unlock from doing different stuff in game and the perk system. This game just feels as generic as possible. I get it’s free, and the gunplay is pretty good (besides the bunny hopping), but that’s pretty much all that I think is good about it. Even the maps are kind of ass in my opinion. And the fact that it’s been in development for so long kind of tells me it won’t get much better.
