Question for curiosity's sake.

Played in a squad match with 2 friends, accidentally leave matchmaking on so we pick up a fourth. He's not talking so we have no way to communicate with him. Plane starts flying in from the NW and our random decides to immediately jump at Georgopol. We never jump into cities and instead had marked out somewhere around Piertown.

Essentially, he's half a map away and dies quickly (as expected), then exits to lobby. The 3 of us remaining eventually end up winning the game. Does the random guy get counted for a win?

I'm pretty sure he gets the win.

I played a squad match with two friends and my roommate, the roommate died half way through the match, but me and the two friends kept playing.

Soon after, the internet dropped with 10 people left. The two friends were left alone, ending up with the dinner, when myself and the roommate checked the stats later we had a squad win.

Inventories not showing up, network lag detected every match... whole worlds gone to hell. I'll play something else until they get this sorted, had a really frustrating night with this game.

I almost won my first First Person game duo.

My heart was fucking pounding, my hands got numb, and my vision was becoming unfocused.

I was so close but the feeling was crazy. It was just 1v1.

That was our luck tonight as well. Found countless Kar and SKS's, but could not find sights for the life of me. This was several games in a row. Makes it so hard to challenge people. We just played super aggressive, while fun, tends to not lend great results lol...

Oh btw, just noticed we are friends on Steam. If you ever need a squad, hit me up. We usually have 2-4 of us.

Expect crate prices to be dirt near the start of the week when you can buy them for low BP, and higher on the weekends after everybody has bought their cheap ones.

Cool. Bought a gamescom crate and the game wont let me buy a key. And my character inventory isn't showing up. And it's saying I have no BP left.

Probably won't try this again.

Same thing with me. Probably a temp bug. I've seen similar things and the points and clothing always come back.

This game generates adventures. They've really distilled some essential sandbox quality without the distractions.

Helps that I can kill now thanks to y'all's advice. But my FPP buggy kill- that was all me. I like FPP but I also like to look at my pretty pretty princess, so I'm torn.

Finished up with 13 hours on the first day lol. Surprised I didn't run into any lag issues after hearing so much about them. Did run into some bugs, and one total freeze that needed a comp restart. I think the core gameplay is a ton of fun though. It's highly replayable; when I finish a match all I want to do is jump into the next one. With some polishing passes this should be one of my main games for the foreseeable future.

I tried 1 match and I can't get past the low camera. I'd probably prefer it in concept for the more immersive and realistic experience. Hopefully they adjust the view (a lot).
Click to expand...

If you stand next so someone you will see that your view match their head height pretty well. All the characters always hunch over a bit and don't stand up straight. So don't think the camera is low, and it really cannot be much higher so you can see over cover without showing your head.

Shotguns are so stupid wtf..

- I land on the roof of the school, grab a double-barreled shotgun, run to the stairs and shoot someone point-blank in the middle of the chest from 0,2 meters away.. I get the blood hitmarker, HE SURVIVES WITHOUT A F* VEST, and kills me.

- Meanwhile other players can 360 noscope ONESHOT me with a shotgun from 1 and a half warehouse distance away. Even with lvl 2 helmet and 2 vest. Nerf this stupid shit please

Sometimes I can borderline snipe with a shotgun. Other times, like just now, I shot two at guy's unprotected face and nothing.

I haven't played the game for the past two months and shall get back into the heat today, but has anything major been added since? I heard First Person only games have been added? What about the vaulting, new melee animations and two maps?

Melee hasn't been overhauled, but you can now aim your punches and punch while crouched.

There's also a few new guns, the Groza, a glock and an EBR.

First person mode is amazing.

So dumb question about selling crates, etc...I'm guessing the $ goes into your Steam wallet. Are you limited to using it for future purchases or can you withdraw it somehow?

Can you punch someone if they are prone? I accidentally hit prone button while I was reloading my gun and the other guy couldn't land a single punch. Or was he just incompetent? Nice tactic to use in the future maybe.

You can't withdraw it.

You could sell it for like 90%-80% value through the B/S/T thread most likely. 10%-20% off any game and they paypal you the money.

You couldn't before, I used to prone on a gun and reload it while the person tried to punch me. You might be able to now if you crouch look down and punch.

Alright, thanks. Wonder when they'll implement the new melee animations.

How do you earn money on the game? You are awarded crates that you sell on the Steam market?

Yeah, you buy the crates with BP and you can sell them anywhere between $2-$3 on the steam marketplace.

A lot of the items in there are worth a whole bunch as well, some selling for over $300-$400, but the drop rates seem pretty abysmal.
