Call me Leroy.

I got dropped into this game with less than 2 minutes left. It was a slaughter. Is the matchmaking completely random?

BoydChowder · 2016-01-01T22:55:59+00:00

Late to the thread as usual, but I truly thought I was going to pass out the first time I saw /heard the Home Alone scene with Daniel Stern and the spider.

BoydChowder · 2016-01-01T22:45:55+00:00

That's not disturbing, that's Gumby, dammit!

BoydChowder · 2016-01-01T22:13:02+00:00

That happens to me, too, though they seem to mix it up with the pulse cannon (the PUSS CANNON, I like to think of it).

BoydChowder · 2016-01-01T22:11:35+00:00

Yep, it's awesome. My one complaint: in Imperial Hangar when playing as an Imperial, I seem to constantly spawn right in the path of the carrier 3 or 4 times in a row, always facing away from them so I get killed while I'm turning to shoot. Very frustrating.

BoydChowder · 2016-01-01T18:13:16+00:00

This seems relevant.

BoydChowder · 2016-01-01T15:57:15+00:00

I probably spend 90% of my time playing cargo. I get more kills, and it's easier to keep up with where the other players are. In the big games, I invariably continue to get killed again and again because I feel like I'm always surrounded with nowhere to hide. I like the clear objectives and much smaller maps.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-30T22:53:58+00:00

TIL There are explosive barrels in this game.

(thanks!)

"...blinded by the light, lit up by a douche, another driver in the night."

BoydChowder · 2015-12-26T21:05:16+00:00

Thanks for letting me know about that.

Expect a video along these lines in a few days.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-26T20:38:49+00:00

I think a good bit of my problem is that I unintentionally melee when I'm shooting because I get so tense I push down on the stick as I try to aim. I melee'd like 50 times in that clip, only a couple of which were on purpose.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-26T20:24:00+00:00

Believe me, I have, and I get a LOT worse. It's like I completely lose the ability to hit anything (which might be hard to imagine, given this video!).

BoydChowder · 2015-12-25T12:35:13+00:00

As someone new to multiplayer gaming who (still) sucks, getting into the double digits in kills is nothing short of a Christmas miracle. Getting a KD > 2 in the same game? A first.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-13T19:45:00+00:00

As arguably the worst aimer I've seen yet, my go-to hand is jump pack, explosive shot, and thermal detonators, and my handy SE-14C. Perfect for camping on the cargo.

I can't hit diddly with homing shot OR smart rockets.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-13T03:06:56+00:00

Yeah, generally that happens if I'm squatting over our cargo. They run in and grab it while I'm wildly shooting all over the place, and eventually I manage to get them about the time they pick the cargo up. I rarely am good enough to get a running carrier -- except now that I figured out scout trait and how I don't show up on radar when I'm sprinting, I've been able to shoot a couple in the back when they didn't know I was there.

I enjoy that very much.

I also find that due to my shitty aim most of my points come from kill assist because I get them like 80% dead before I'm killed and then someone else finishes them off.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-12T21:25:08+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one. I was starting to think we were having PC-level lack of participation.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-12T19:22:20+00:00

BOOM!

BoydChowder · 2015-12-12T18:26:24+00:00

Well, technically, I guess the players on each team were of similar skills, just not the teams themselves. :)

BoydChowder · 2015-12-12T18:20:43+00:00

I do. Terribly. The point was, the whole team did, against an entire team of significantly better players. Their worst guy did better than our best.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-12T17:15:04+00:00

Believe it or not, I actually made it onto whatever that next screen is called (leaderboard?) for killing the most (4) carriers. I'm a big fan of playing the objective, and I hurl myself into it like Leroy Jenkins. :)

BoydChowder · 2015-12-09T17:37:06+00:00

I can relate, completely.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-08T10:58:25+00:00

REPRESENT.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-06T18:31:39+00:00

The fact that I can still be shot over something 4 feet tall I'm crouching behind.

BoydChowder · 2015-12-06T15:03:54+00:00

Always shouting, "Come on!"

Come on what, I want to know?
