I got my first box today, and got a coat from that. It's ugly, so I probably won't use it.
You can't get coats in crates, but you can get jackets.

Okay I need a fucking kill cam because three times I'm ROLLING through the game, 5-6 kills, great setup.
Then out of fucking nowhere in a place where I shouldn't be vulnerable I'm dead before I can even push a button.
I gotta know how.

I stand corrected. I just double checked, I got an urban jacket.

I think they should do it where the camera zooms out then in on the guy that killed you for a few seconds. Kill cams make me hate games.

At the very least I need some form of match replay so I can figure it out.

Wow. Just wow. I got #2 in a duos game. It was down to me and two other guys. I was prone in a bush in the center of the tiny circle. We ended on an island with nothing to hide behind. The other two guys are fighting and my buddy says I should throw a frag. I was already panicking because I suck at this game and am fumbling through my inventory. No frag of course. By the time I get done sorting through that one guy had died and the survivor got a bead on me at close range with a shotgun. Number, freaking, TWO. My buddy apologized for backseat playing immediately after. Such a fun game. Can't believe I missed the chicken. This game made me start recording clips and editing them. Good luck out there.

Another day, another top 5. But no chicken dinner. Had to make myself an actual chicken dinner.
I'm over 100 hours and have never been #1.
Someday.
Replays, and post-death spectate in solo are what I really want.

I need replays and a system which shows me all 94-100 players and the paths they take as they die so I can see strats and figure stuff out. It'd be huge in alleviating my frustration for catching a round lol.
I'm at 85 and no dinner, you're not alone brother. Though I got to top freaking #3 4 times tonight.

Brendan Greene said they'll be bringing the replay system back at some point with changes so people can see what happened.
Edit: Video of the replay system that was in the Alpha for those who haven't seen it

There's something bonechilling about seeing 3 Grimmmz kills on the feed before you've even touched the ground. Then something almost happy, almost unsettling, when you see him die.
(The end of the round was not nearly as dramatic, as I had zero kills in the Top 10, was sneaking up perfectly on a suppressed M24, and then some genius way out of the white decided to shoot at me unsuppressed which ruined my frag and got the sniper looking directly at him, getting us both killed)

I dunno if it helps but I sorted out most of my performance issues by switching from borderless windowed mode to full screen. It's never helped anything else I've played but this game it did a lot.
The person on the last page still hasn't explained this "urban myth" where bumping some settings to High/Ultra makes performance better
I had an even worse one last night on Duos. Lost an easy and clear Chicken Dinner because of micro-strategy transgressions in literally the last four seconds of the match.
My partner died near the start of the match. I survive and manage to get to the top 20. Find an 8x scope. Make it to the top 10 after killing three people in a field.
Make it to top 5. Final zone is on a pretty small hill with steep drops on both sides.
Make it to top 3. It's just me and one other double team. I know exactly where they are. They're on top of the hill by a tree and I'm just off a ledge. One of them beads me and gets a shot in.
I realise I've got a shotgun and they can't see me when I crouch. I crouch, get my shotty out, and roadie run left, all the way around the hill.
I flawlessly flank them. Come sprinting up the side to 5 o' clock of where they expect it. Come right up on the side of one of them - one shot him with the shotty.
Now here come the mistakes. The guy's downed and we're in a tight spot. But rather than let him impotently crawl around and use the element of surprise on his squaddie, I feel like it's best to finish him. I waste three shotgun rounds finishing him. Just past him beyond the tree the FINAL player is crawling towards me through the brush. I reload frantically. The final player stands and sprints at the tree. I finish reloading. He circles around the other side of the tree. I aim, swap shoulder.
My final mistake? I try to lead the guy as he's at a sprint. I aim just in front of him as he emerges around the tree. I fire. Half of my buck flies past him and only a few pellets hit him. He lines up on my head. Pulls the trigger. Game over.
What a fucking match. So many 'should, coulda, wouldas'...
Holy shit this is amazing, thanks for sharing.

the "myth"(IIRC a dev said this) is that on lower settings the game leans more on the CPU while on higher settings the game leans more on the GPU - so you might get more FPS if your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU by choosing higher gfx options in the settings menu.
Well hot diggity. My CPU is my bottleneck (even though it's still p good). Might just give this a try!
Thanks!

I wish, they would focus on more important things, but i can understand, why they put a focus on that. All there coverage comes from Twitch and YouTube and you want those content producers to have something new to show. I personal would love for the hardcore mode to be finished.
Different teams. The zombie team released a basic version for the live servers.

It was always the plan, i don't know why some people thought that the game will just change his genre completely.
I had 0 idea, just saw it was announced lol
Next question because I haven't tried it. Can you go into customs with friends or is it solo only?
Hmm this makes sense. My laptop has a 1060 but the CPU is a 7700hq which is kinda eh so I'm gonna test this.

I don't know
I never tried it. I tried it 5 minutes ago to try to join the zombi test, but there is no game showing whatsoever in the custom match section. I'm pretty sure that it would be accessible with friends though.
I hope you know that you do not need to open the inventory to change grenade types. Just press the grenade button over and over to switch the grenade type quickly. So all you need is 3-4 taps to check if you have frags.
Also damn i really hope that replay system comes back, I really want lines drawn on the map for peoples paths just to see all those missed close encounters etc.

I have no idea how some of you can play for upwards of 100 hours without winning a game, that's crazy.

!?
I mean they already have a team system for custom servers.
No? The zombies are player controlled
how does the zombie mode work? do we know?
does it work like the old CS:Source mod where every player starts as human but after a min or so a player or two gets infected and then has to spread the disease or do you either spawn in a human squad or as a zombie?
used to play zombie mode on CSS a loooooooooooot, was super fun

... this team code have made the hardcore-mode *grumble* ...
No, there are only two teams: Team Zombie and Team Survives. The game ends if one sides gets completely wiped out. There are no difference in the gameplay, so there are still the circles getting smaller and random weapons. Only with the new mode, zombies can't get weapons and drive vehicles (before the mode, people would simply role-play on custom servers.).
oh. Will be exciting to play for sure - pretty stoked.
I'll probably wait to play this after the vaulting animations is added since that would probably make the experience/gamemode a lot better.
Less experience with FPS games-- Bad aim, bad tactics, bad understanding of the mechanics, the interface isn't really helpful for learning stuff unless you're actively checking out videos and outside advice, and the feedback loop is really, really long to actually "practice" any individual core competency from scratch.

Yeah, I was panicking and had a very dull moment. I haven't played for long and don't have much experience using grenades in the first place. Thank you for the reminder.
