Can you not melee hit someone with the plank through an open window? If so, WTF. Also, how come when I am crouched under a window or behind a partition and I throw a molotov, when the arc is clear, does the molotov break on the sill or sidewall and kill me? Right after that happened I got my first rage message from a teammate. lol

Nope - can't punch/hit through windows. The molly hitting the wall happens to me all the time. Just get used to not throwing it when really close to a window.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

i play the same way...the games where both teams run and gun KILL my parts/supply totals because i'm crawling around, grabbing resources and some dude is gunning down the other team or vice versa
Hmm, I actually disagree. I'd much rather have you on my team than the 12-8 guy. Given more time and opportunity you'd just go 8-4.

Matchmaking is hilarious on this game. It's as if they deliberately try to make the matches lopsided.
Just my last match, there was a player at week 90, another at 74, me at 52, two 20s, one 4, and two 0s. The 90 and 74 were paired up together. Ok, maybe I just have a better K/D ratio then both of them. But enough to pair me with the two 0s and the 4? I don't think so. Two 0s should never be paired together.
At one point during the match our supply raid stock number looked like a countdown clock. We were dropping like flies, I just couldn't help but laugh. Needless to say, we lost.

Yeah the matchmaking seems flawed - You could get 0s who had one really good (or lucky) game and have a K/D ratio of 5, when really they should still be paired with better/higher level players.
I can see why they do it the way they do, since there may be players who have made it through 60 weeks but still have a 0.5 K/D ratio (and therefore need to be teamed up with better players), but there must be a better way to go about it.

Actually, someone going 12-8 would be much preferred. Ratio-wise, they're doing worse, but being capable of 12 downs in a single match (assuming we aren't talking Interrogation) implies they have a very strong offensive game. Meanwhile, 4-2 could imply many things. It could imply good standoff skills when they're paired with someone capable of 12 downs. It could imply they play a support role and will rarely engage if they aren't sure of their odds. It could also mean they have no combat sense and aren't there when their team needs them, having only killed a few strays by hiding away in a corner.
Quality-wise, they just vary a lot more.

i just left a game for the first time because the terribly balanced matchmaking. it was me (18) with a 30+, a 0, and a 1 vs. a 6 and 3(!!!) 40+ers.
whenever i get stuck with a couple of newbs and one random veteran, the dude is always the go-off-on-your own and do nothing to help the team type

I'm getting really tired of people leaving the game early. I always play with friends from GAF and I can say that we are good. But man are too good that we are turning away these people?
Take the loss and just play, geez.

Yeah, it would be nice if there was a stronger penalty for leaving games.
Penalty. Shoot, for trophy seekers quitting out is practically encouraged.

I've seen a lot of rage quits (at least that's what they appear to be) in supply raid after a standoff between teams when the whole other team gets killed. Sure, you didn't do well that time but you've got 16 lives left to turn it around...people have no patience or willingness to challenge themselves.

You'll have to play more than 3 matches - there are a lot of maps now. Personally I've only played Bill's Town once since I started playing TLOU:R's MP on release day, and only seen Downtown come up once (and naturally it didn't get selected). And I'm 14 weeks in.
Yes, because removing a method of using the bow AFTER saying that it was a legitimate technique is counterintuitive to promoting variety in this game....
u mad bro?
And yes, I will continue to steal every execution I find.

Ok, so that's why I'm always the one that needs to do all the work lately in supply raid. Shit has been so unbalanced lately. I haven't ended a match with less than 10 executions and atleast a 2.5 KD. My teammates do nothing and the opposing team is just average. So what's happening now is that a 2.5 KD player is put with 3 0.5 KD players against all 1.0 KD players for example (so both teams have a sum of 4.0), is that correct? Cause that might explain the completely one-sided matches I've been having (in my favour). I feel the team balancing was better before the patch either way, matches were atleast closer.
Dont you guys find it hard to accumulate parts when all your team mates are good players? Makes the match go too fast and not alot of time to get parts for your clan. Sometimes I feel 20 lives is too little and would need like 10+ per team to make it last a bit longer.
I wish the team who won also would get like a 1.5x multiplier for parts for your clan. I think Uncharted 3 did this so not sure why it wasnt kept. It would alleviate some quitters due to worrying about the clan stuff. I have quit 2 times and thats because the game forces me into an ongoing game where I know I wont get enough parts/ time to complete the mission. Cant wait till I get all MP trophies so I can be a sniper/bow bitch.

I think I am done playing with randoms, which means I am close to being done with the MP (all my friends are shifting to Destiny, blah) as I am tired of just getting destroyed by my non-strategic team tactics; i.e., run get killed, and leave me as the last survivor.
I recently had my biggest last man standing comeback. It was me vs their team of 4 plus 4 reserves. Brawler 2 is a beautiful thing.

If you're playing with a good team and this is a problem, try Interrogation. As long as you drag out the timer, you'll end up with a lot of points.
Survivors is the worst when your team kicks ass. You only need to kill the opponents 16 times to end survivors.
Supply raid requires 24 kills.
Interrogation is unlimited. Kills and downs give your less points, but its worth it.
Whenever I play pure medic, reviver 3 and first aid 3, I'm always at the top of the leader board. I regularly break 5,000 parts and even into 6,000 parts. I would suggest that for supply raid. For survivors I suggest crafter 3 and craft only small items, shivs, smoke bombs and med kits.
Heres a pretty funny line, I outscore my good teammates with 0 downs and 0 kills.

Yeeaaaah, I already sold this game back a week ago. Had a lot of fun with it, but Destiny. Destiny. Wrecking fools in PvP with GAF'ers in the beta was too good.

Same here. At one point I thought it was bugged or something, and that I wasn't moving as fast as I normally do with Agility 2 enabled, so I disabled it to compare to default speed and NOPE...default speed is soooo slow.
Never will I complain that Agility 2 isn't fast enough again.
What clan...?
