This was ultimately my problem with the game. Put five or six pistol rounds into someone as they run towards me and they don't even stop, yet I'm dead with one hit with their board with a nail in it.
I think the only one I would buy is the football helmet.
The football helmet is 2 bucks. Samurai Helmet is 30 bucks.
Oh jeez, lol. You can only get it in the ultimate pack?
edit: Football helmet showing .99 for me.
I destroy most bow users with my silenced semi-auto rifle. In a showdown situation, bow is pretty awful. If I get hit by an arrow from someone I don't see, it's safe to assume he's to my side/back and I immediately sprint for cover.

I want it, but I'm not paying that much for it. I only really use the default items, anyway.

This made me laugh, even if it is painfully true. I am determined to get the Platinum in this game, else I would shelved MP by now.
LOL you fucking kidding me? 30 bucks. Jesus. Dota 2 levels of insane.
The nature of bullets are faithless and fickle, but the righteous board-with-nail cares not for armor.
Needs to be printed on a fortune.

Obligatory 'git gud' response.
Seriously though. Read my above response about the bow. I'll reiterate briefly. Shit is balanced, yo.
And to Re-reiterate, the Hunting Rifle is way better than the bow.
The game has stopping power. If they run at you and start swinging, and you shoot them while they are in they animation, they will not hit you with the board. Simple as that. So your complaint is actually addressed within the game. Also 5 rounds from any of the pistols is enough to down anyone unless they have on armor.

He is only saying that because it's included in the $29.99 all items / masks pack, which includes stuff that was previously bundled or exclusive.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I have to agree, unless they release it standalone. Total dickmove.
The bow also isn't a hit scan weapon, but projectile that travels; adding an extra layer of skill needed to land shots. You actively need to lead targets, which makes using it a distance even harder.
Doing something wrong. Bull rushing outside of an enemy reloading just doesn't work unless they're already really, really close. Backing up and firing your weapon is enough to kill a rusher 99% of the time.
Unless there's lag involved, in which case that's the issue at hand.

I hope the new maps are required to download so they just go in the normal map rotation.

There are still people complaining about the bow being OP, seriously?
Thanks for clarifying!

I personally agree with many others that removing this from the smaller bundles and limiting it to that all masks thing is a bit lame, but it was probably one of the most popular items used so they are trying to bank on it. Seeing as it's merely cosmetic, I don't mind TOO much and am more-so happy that the additional maps are now coming free.
I hate this user blaming stuff, as if rushing people with bats (or even fists) doesn't get downs. Besides, rushers usually succeed when charging around corners or through doorways, and bullets don't fire around corners.
So if I'm getting this right you think you should be able to beat someone that got the obvious jump on you? Cause thats what it sounds like.
I've done that to people myself and you can see them panic. That's a valid tactic of them leaving themselves open to attack.
Rushing dead on from 5 feet out is and always will be suicide. Unless the guy forgot to keep an eye on his ammo and starts reloading or has to switch to a secondary / fisticuffs. IE his misjudged badly.
And sorry, but not everyone gets a trophy.
Thats how terrible games get made, or everything gets nerfed to being just a cosmetic difference. There's plenty of options to deal with melee rushers, and often when you go down its something you did or didn't do. Learn and counter. That's part of the fun.
Where are you getting this from? I haven't complained about the melee mechanic (or trophies for that matter). I just pointed out that rushing is easily done if they don't have a clear shot on you. It's something I've used often and it works. I assume it wouldn't work on you though because by the advice you give you've obviously never made a mistake, never hesitated and always back up and shoot rushers "99% of the time".
The guy made a point which I thought was at least valid. His gripe was with nail-bats being more powerful than guns which you dismissed by telling him he's doing it wrong.
Lets face it, everything that gets a kill is a "valid tactic" and anytime someone dies it's because they did "something wrong". It's just a little bit silly to counter people's opinions with "DOING IT WRONG!!".

After a few weeks with the MP, I can safely state that I am truly horrible. I have flashes of competent play, but then I'll go an entire Supply Raid match with 0/0/8, or some shit.
So if I was the noob you guys were complaining about, my apologies. I swear I shoot people, but they don't go down... I run out of ammo and don;t have parts to buy more... and even with Brawler 3, I cannot seem to win melee fights... for shame.

Not at all, I make terrible decisions and pay dearly for it all the time!
The thing with nail bats is you first have to craft them. The second is you actually need to be pretty damn close to connect. I have a video of myself swinging to heaven with one and missing every single time because the other guy was smartly more nimble than I was expecting. The third thing, as mentioned above, is staggering someone swinging a melee weapon means it won't connect 90% of the time.
My biggest gripe is host advantage and lag tends to throw a lot of this stuff off balance sometimes, but that's ultimately a different issue. Like getting in 5-6 swing and the guy downs you after the game only showed you his two hooks.
Fair enough though, I should have offered the advice without the first part. But people also tend to have their playstyle and are not want to change it up. Which is why you have a lot of people always asking for changes to games.

Hmm... ND hasn't specified the release of these new guns/maps yet tho.
Should have took a screenshot when I saw it up earlier :/ Darn!

I'll just be buying 2. The scoped semi auto since that's my main primary weapon and the variable rifle just to try it out.
For real. I hold my own with both the sniper and the bow. Even in close range.

yeup. bow and hunting rifle aren't OP to me at all because a bow user very very rarely kills me without a headshot. if i don't know where they are, you head for cover fast and heal. if i see them one on one i can usually win out with the semi-auto
for some reason everyone i played with today was run happy, telegraphic movements and shit. i felt like i was the only one using radar
If I play with a bow, I absolutely need covert 2 and be a designated flanker of the team, which is pretty darn risky. At the very least I have to hang back and join the fray when the enemy is distracted engaging someone else. A bow user going head to head with rifle users is just asking for trouble more often than not. Not a good front-line weapon at all.

I only have TLOU and Wolfenstein, need to finish both. I am torn between paying for PS+ or getting Metro 2033 Redux. How is the MP here?
I am not that much into MP, I mean I will play 2 MP games at most. I want PS+ for the free games and sales mostly.

It's great. Tactical 3rd shooter + splinter cell pandora tomorrow feels + ammo conservation. Very fun.

MP is fantastic and mostly team based. You have to actually think when you play, and there is a lot of skilled involved unless you use the bow or like to craft Molotov's all day.

Don't get me started on lag. -_-
It has caused me to play this game sparingly the past week or so. Up for some games tomorrow, Ty?
...and what's with you apologizing? Weird! O.O

Yeah it has. I still get some trouble joining games on the first go but backing out/re-entering matchmaking seems to work like a charm now. The ol' PS3 fix is back in action, I suppose.
Even waiting in a lobby seems to only take a few minutes. Still...minutes more than it probably should but better than it was before. And I guess they're still working on it?
Really? I could've sworn I tried this... maybe it wasn't to the head... gonna go play right now!
SirCrush
Member
No...it doesn't. Unless he is talking about when they are down...headshot while down is a 1 shot execution but headshots are NOT a 1shot down for most weapons.
RadioHeadAche
Member
Right. Just the two snipers and bow.
He was talking about executions.
Is anyone else experiencing massive server issues?
I get to the point the map is picked and loading, then I'm booted back to the lobby without an error message.
The worst thing is is that the game registers it as a round (except the day doesn't progress) and my survivors are moved to either hungry or sick... happened twice in a row and my healthy clan of 60+ is now either sick or hungry.... im on week 12 day 5 so im pretty scared to do it again as it could wipe me out soon.

I've been having lots of issues getting into games all night. And when i have gotten into one I get put back into looking for a game by myself after every match.
Go Crafter 3 and just craft shit and hand it out to your team mates. BAM! Top of the scoreboard.
