Ah thank you. Would be a shame if it was a problem with it but it'd give me an excuse to get an Elite controller.

" Will there be hardcore/first person only servers?
Yes, although no ETA as of yet "
Oh, I'm with you. I'm just stating why this will never happen.
The more I play this game, the more I favour the Kar over say the SKS. It's a really good weapon!
Got an easy win with it today because of how absurdly strong surpressors are, especially on snipers.
I need to learn how to actually lead with it though, I am really bad at picking of moving targets with it so I usually end up using my AR/smg instead .

SKS recoil is insane, you basically need to hit your first shot if you want a chance at killing someone.

After 70 hours of play, I FINALLY got my hands on a 15x scope.
My god man. I only had an M16 to use it on and it was still amazing.

yeah I don't like it that much anymore, not really sure why I used to favour it over the Kar before but I can imagine it is of the firerate? Anyhow, I cannot seem to get kills with it, same with the M416 - it like they bring bad luck or something
I love the M4. You can load it up with attachments and it will destroy when you set it to auto. SKS is definitely the worst of the heavy arms though, it doesn't bring enough firepower to offset the recoil and low clip.
I love landing straight on the top floor of the scaffolding in the military base, a lot of the time the top floor has a rifle and some sort of a scope and you can just destroy everybody who makes their way up to the apartment roofs or tries to make the run to the scaffolding.
I can usually rack up kills between 5-10 if a lot of people drop in.

All the items got datamined yesterday, and all the information has been conveniently tabulated here.
Some interesting bits of information that explains otherwise odd behavior of weapons/attachments in there. Also most of the tooltips in the game are misleading or flat out wrong.
Also the compensated ump is the best thing in the game.

Just saw a guy in line at a concert with a military backpack and thought, "Sweet Level 3 backpack." This game...
There was a game where me and three friends were out driving a boat around and a supply crate landed at the very edge of the circle, out in the ocean. We had it completely to ourselves.
It had an M24 and an 8x scope in it and some other goodies.
We have one of our friends get out to loot it and then we drive back to shore and head inland.
Our friend goes "oops, I forgot to loot the M24"
He was never heard from again

As some one who owns a kar98 and have shot my buddies Chinese SKS. They really need to switch those two's recoil. Lessen the SKS recoil and bump up the kar98. Every time I shoot the Kar98 it hurts like a motherfucker and it's almost like shooting a shotgun lol.

I had a SKS once with a folding stock. It was like a love tap shooting it. No kick at all hardly. Action jammed up all the time though.
This just happened

Any idea what happened? I don't care that much, just.. how did that miss?

3 victories today, one in solo and two in squads. Feels good. Solo rank score is currently 13k, my new record.
Server desync most likely, happens quite often in this game.

Gah, two annoying doughnut rounds.
1) Fishtailed out with a buggy coming over a hill, guy happened to be on the same hill with me.
2) Guy pulled up to my compound and I was stealthing him. I wanted to catch him coming out of one building and into another while crawling (it was the compound with the small stone walls and the ridges) but he either caught wind of me at one point and was faking me out by waiting for me or ran back early the other way because he popped back up near the wall and got me.

looks like you flinched and shot his backpack
I tried landing at the military base a few times yesterday but there's too much action too soon for me. I landed on the roof once and there were ~6 other people who did the same thing all running about like headless chickens. I managed to get a shotgun and took down two players who straight jumped off the roof after not getting a weapon, then I got taken down because there were 3 other people shooting at me. It's pretty exciting, but I prefer to last a while longer
Ugh, that vehicle getting in delay is just killer.
Literally, got me killed.
The getting in car delay and opening door delay are really pissing me off right now, it normally goes like this:
*stands still*
Press F to open door
*stands there*
Press F to open door
*door opens, get shot*

They should definitely implement the Battlefield "hold key and enter the vehicle as soon as you are in range" functionality. Then you hold the key until your in and then you let go. Even if there is a lag delay you don't find yourself in that awkward situation where you tap the key wait and tap again only to jump in and right back out.

I have seen amazing kills in car chases by someone switching to the passenger seat and shooting the other guy.
No one should ever be that cool.
Also who are good people to watch to try and get better.
I think Viss is the best one to watch in order to improve. He generally describes his choices and tactics. Drdisrespect is good, but more so at shooting than tactical choices. When he plays with viss his game goes to another level.No one should ever be that cool.

Sacriel is good at explaining the thinking behind his actions.

Nice, thank you. I can't wait for that.
The game recognized that you should've gone for the headshot so it punished you by ignoring that shot.

is the game incredibly laggy on all / most servers for everybody else?
[or is that just me?]

Not sure if anyone else watches him but Soviet Womble just released a Battlegrounds video.
Pretty funny imho.
Personally I love the games tension but cannot watch full videos of matches. Highlights and funny moments are the best.
For me it depends. Sometimes I'll have matches where I'll open a door and then suddenly be in the room against the wall cause the game lagged on me or didn't pick up something. Not game breaking but happens near the start of the match.

While they are at it remove 416 and scar-l and add cz-bren 805 and basic american m4.
Both the m416 and scar-l couldnt beat out the m4 on a good day. Which is why the US military passed on both recently.
The 308 (762x59)Scar-H should be included as a tier 3 dmr because it shoots circles around the sks and other battle rifles.
Its easy to tell when devs have no clue about actual guns. But its their game so whatever.

Shot a guy in the water who was like 30m away from me, I put a full magazine of each of my ARs into him and not a single shot hit. OK GAME

Any part of them under the water you can't hit. Gotta wait till they come up for air or until they're coming out of the water.
Meanwhile I spent the night getting fucked by the circle or shot long after I was behind hard cover. Just the way PUBG is some days.

That is unbelievably stupid. He wasn't under water for the whole thing but it's hard to say. Either way, that's just utterly dumb that you cannot hit them under water.

yeah, well it's just constant rubber banding for me.
like, 99% rubber.
i can tell the game is super fun, just incredibly frustrating at the moment as i can't really use stairs or doorways reliably at all.

Is anyone else having an issue/bug where the map marker no longer shows up in the compass and won't stay after closing the map?
Edit: Figured it out. Marker placement and delete marker were mapped to the same key for some reason.
Edit: Figured it out. Marker placement and delete marker were mapped to the same key for some reason.
I've been playing on the Oceania/Australian server and it's been pretty up and down for me since the last big update a week or so ago(?). I've had rubber-banding, I'll open a door and it will animate and appear open but I try and go through and it's still closed, some games are just ridiculously laggy the whole way through and not just at the start etc.
I think the "big" patch due at the end of this month is focused on server performance and fixing lag issues.
I just checked and it looks like the angled and vertical foregrips outright have incorrect tooltips, yep.
The angled foregrip does NOT reduce vertical recoil despite the tooltip.
The vertical foregrip does NOT reduce horizontal recoil (instead, it reduces vertical recoil), despite the tooltip. It also does NOT make switching to ADS faster despite the tooltip.
Apparently all flash hiders and silencers have the effect of making weapons more accurate.
2x scope is actually 1.8x (and also boosts ADS speed).
8x scope is actually 7.25x.
15x scope is actually 12x.
Only 4x scope tells the truth.

Man, this game murders my PC. I have an i5 4460 + gtx 970 and the game is frequently dropping into the 40's, not to mention the stutters.
Pretty fun though.
play with everything on very low
bigger benefit for you and your system

Every game that I find an SKS I immediately question why I took it when I start using it. It feels really crappy and I can't imagine it being much more effective than just using a scoped AR.
I'd take a 4x AR over a 4x SKS, but at 8x range I'd take the SKS. It takes some time to warm up to it but it's perfectly viable IMO.
