Ok. Cheating is rife in this game and I'm about done. I get the recon and spotting mechanic, but at this point I think that is covering for people using ESP. You can't see the dots unless you look through a recon scope. I know there is a gimmick of entering a helicopter while using a scope...

I've seen Blue win quite a few times, but it definitely feels map and helo dependent most times. On maps where Blue gets a good base, the Zest map being one commonly, where they can build inside hard structures is often a good one for blue. The other is if they have pilots. So much of the...

I went into some of the 50 on 50, 2 team servers. Felt a lot better. Community servers ofc, so lot more communication and active team work but it felt a let more epic than the normal modes. It was a slog though, but it felt an actual tactical game with team work, maneuver, bases of fire etc...

I misunderstood. I didn't realize he was altering files to get outside of the in game parameters, my bad. And as to marketing, I'm not saying they are indie or saying they are. What I am saying all the marketing is around them being 'rebel'. Lots of aggressive language. Lots of shit talking...

New maps and more variety would be very welcome. Also bigger CZ in my opinion. They have oddly limited the ranges of weapons in weird ways. As to settings, hate to tell you but always has been, going all the way back to Counterstrike. You want the game to look beautiful, great. But your...

The reason you still see AMPs atm is its legit good. AMP with a good attachments is a short range blender that lets me just delete people. Its also decently accurate at range and word on the street is it is pound for pound better than the other SMGs until you hit the Vector. I use it a lot when...

I have questions for Bulkhead, and while I think they are skilled developers, I firmly believe the 'attitude' and such is marketing PR and spin. IF you are a scrappy upstart, play the scrappy upstart and market it. Them paying streamers and such, lets be real. They're a company, don't buy the...

I have thoughts but will let this cook a bit before I dump on it.

To a good pilot, the AA is not really a threat. Flares are 100% successful to all missiles in the air and they stay low enough they are out of LOS of most places that are defended. If its tall and able to have good LOS, its usually easy to snipe or kill with the helicopter itself. The flares...

This is more what I meant. Bigger control zone. So much of the map is rather wasted. If you notice they kinda hide this it seems by changing the center of the CZ on different iterations of the same map. The problem with attack Helo's is how do you balance them properly? If you make them...

Cheats are also back today. Seeing the full auto SVD again. I guess its in response to the GL Helos, cause if I was a cheater I'd fire up the old tools to just nuke GL Helos. The problem with the game is I don't think they can balance it honestly. When it works, its fun, and that when it...

We just had another match with 2 GL little birds and a Havok. If you have a CWIS you can usually get one, but you don't live long enough to get all of them. Its too easy for them to come in low and just grenade the entire fob. Once they get the CWIS and Talon's down, they just do orbits. If...

All you people saying you barely ever see havocs or GL Helis, please let me in your matches. We have multiple GL helis on one fob, from opposing teams even. I see at least 1 havoc every match, usually multiples. Yesterday I had 3 green Havocs that just rotated around the map with a little...

I think this video sums up the issues pretty well.

Its odd but I feel a bit nostalgic for hosted servers back in the day, where you knew the people on it. Even going back to old WoW and such. You know players of your faction and the opposing faction, who they were. You saw them in battlegrounds, you saw them in open world. It made it feel...

Yeah. There is almost assuredly some aim bot that is being used. As you said, exact number of hits, through cover, smoke. My favorite was through the spaces on a pallet stack. Not even enough room to scope through the gap and get your muzzle in the gap as well. I see it mostly with the SVD...

I think the honeymoon period is coming to a close for me. Too many questionable things in gameplay. I just got dropped, perfect shots through a smoke cloud. I was moving, other guy was moving and something all his shots hit me when there was smoke between us. Then he did the same with my...

I was bitching in local after dying to one of the gun truck humvees. I had hit the thing in the grill with an RPG and it didn't even flinch. A guy heard me bitching and was all, "Want a MAAW?" He bought me one. It convinced me, cause the humvee died, an AH6 died, and I was having a good...

I want to experiment with a few friends. Get a FOB, put it in one of the corner warehouses and just wall it off, build a drill or two and fire it as much as possible. I don't expect this to succeed at winning, I expect it to get stomped of existence, but if its in a warehouse you can close off...

Yeah. The game, imo, has an identity crisis of sorts. Its a 3way king of the hill modern FPS shooter, but they want to mix in extraction elements and RPG skills and its a bit of a balance mess. Extraction shooters have that choice of ghetto runs to hunt specific items, money etc vs high...

My last experience with thermals is early 2020s. They were really good, but as a hunter I assume you are not dealing with urban environments, vehicle fires, explosions, all the 'white noise' that is generated in those environments. So in game they are represented as the best of possible...

My experience with thermals is limited, mostly to Iraq and the Mojave, which are deserts and not the best usage cases during the day (deserts are hot, yo). I didn't not play with individual thermals in AFG, only the ones on my turret. Anyway... unless they have improved remarkably (and the...

By mods I mean moderators, people who ban cheaters and griefers, not mods as in changing the game mods. Also, I think community servers will help facilitate more organized play which will extend the life of the game.

I said it earlier, but I think community servers will be the life blood of this game. Especially if they give the server admins more tools to mix up game modes, equipment access etc. Just having mods that can keep an eye on game play and deal with griefers and cheaters would be a plus. That...

Separate post for separate topic. The cheating is bad, but now the griefing is coming out. With no team lockouts etc, discord stacks are having people join the opposing team and grief, give intel, destroy supply boxes, drive the APC away etc. I don't believe there is any way to counter it...

If you are trying to do some clutch save in the middle of enemy forces as you are being overrun, yes. If you are trying to tug a guy off after a sniper without realizing the angle and getting into cover, yes. But, if you are in a death ball and lead guy gets popped and you pull him back while...

This hits the basic issue I have with anyone being able to revive. I know, as the game is now, it would be very harsh economy balance wise if only a medic class could revive. Don't class lock it, just make it an item. Revive masks, paddles, etc. But you are right. Game atm is 'balanced'...

Yeah. Lot of questionable things. I think Wardogs is living on hype and hopium. It hits a niche that is kinda empty so its getting a lot of traction, add in streamer buy in and most likely paid to play streamer promotions and its rolling. It has potential, there is a lot of potential for the...

So I am hearing a lot of US East, Asmo Faction on the Israphel server for most people? I played this ever so briefly back in the day and wouldn't mind giving it another shot.

They need to make the T4 helmets have limited vision just like the model. So you go to war with a bullet proof head and the vision of a welder's mask. That'd be an interesting choice. You pretty much nailed it though, and its why I am not optimistic about the future. Hopeful, but not...

I have never played Tarkov. The reputation was just way too sweaty. I've always wanted some sweet spot between ARMA (Which, I like the idea of, but having done shit in RL it almost seems ARMA is more complicated and difficult) and BF. The old BF Bad Company and 2142 (the first, not the...

I've told this story before, but I'll repeat cause its relevant. I played a horribly grinding Asian MMO with a guy from Singapore back in the day (Blade and Soul) and he played both the EN and the CN servers and he explained in CN, cheating and whaling were considered favorably. In the West be...

I want to like this game, and I've had fun but at the moment I think its a little confused on what it wants to be, or more accurately it wants to be too many things and is having problems working out how to balance all of it. It feels like it wants to be ARMA Lite, Battlefield, Tarkov, and...

They said the same day they made the 'announcement' of release date that they were trying to dodge GTA6. So not like they didn't preface their excuse at the start, but anyone that had two brain cells to rub together knew they were never going to make 2026. It was obvious, so obvious at some...

The economy was a double edged sword. On one hand the ease at getting most items made losses less painful and people more willing to engage in risky gameplay and pvp. A lot of the 'normies' who would never touch a full loot pvp game were willing to stick it out longer because it wasn't as...

The problem with Arc Raiders, and I said it at the beginning, was they couldn't figure out how to make PvE interesting, so they decided to add in PvP. This made for a big splash of initial popularity, but it hinted at an underlying and still existing problem. They didn't know how to make...

I'll bite and give serious answer. Chris Roberts has no incentive to launch it, really. He appears to be getting fully funded to pursue his passion/hobby to make whatever his latest whim desires with no external force like a publisher or investors that are forcing him to a market launch. If...

Quite a few people do play this on phones and tablets. Tablets especially. One part of 'gacha' games is the 'maintenance mode' period where you've done most the content and all you are doing is logging in to do your dailies so that you can maximize your currency for the next banner and prep...

I feel they tried to have their cake and eat it too. Originally it was supposed to be set with Arknights OG as 'distant history' but I think at a point they got scared about moving their playerbase to the new one and decided to go with splitting the baby. Lots of key jangles and memberberries...

I've given it some thought as I've reviewed Arknights' lore in my head and gone back to reread some of it and to be honest, you're better off enjoying Endfield if you are only passingly familiar with it in broad strokes and don't dive into it too much. Arknights lore itself is pretty...
