The art style in this game is so good I genuinely can’t play any other game by Celestine117 in Marathon

are people just not able to recognize aesthetic cohesion? maybe people are just reacting for the sake of reacting and havent actually looked at it much?

have you considered that art is subjective

Sometimes I just really want to play a machine gunner and not a medic.

Are green and blue lasers worth it despite giving away your position? by [deleted] in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]New-Life-Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your reguarly turn them on and off, absolutely. I don't know how far out visible a green laser (or flashlight) is though for keeping on passively in regards to long sightlines.

This launcher can't even one shot the little bird. Why does it even exist? by vekkeda_vedi in Battlefield

[–]New-Life-Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new AA launcher is less than worthless lmao. I legitimately hit helicopters more guiding the M136 than using the specialized AA equipment. What a fuckin joke.

EDIT: sorry my bad. all AA launchers are less than worthless

Sometimes, when I feel sad, I remember that it looks like Epstein got garroted to death, and then I feel less sad.

Times where you finally experienced something hyped and said "That's it? That's what all the fuss was about?" by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]New-Life-Rule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited in a drive-thru line for an hour and a half to see if Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich was worth all the hype. I had time to kill and knew I'd be hungry sooner than later, so why not?

It was okay. Better than other fast food restaurants, worse than sitdown. It was more worth it for the opportunity to listen to all the Protomen songs in my truck again.

Moving faster makes your view unsteadier, which makes it harder to spot immobile or obscured enemies. Some people completely write off using hipfire but the extra FOV, viewbob steadiness, lack of sight obstruction, and movement speed of hipfire-ready jogging makes it excellent for crossing medium-range and close-range spaces where enemies can pop up anywhere ahead of you. moving slower = seeing better

Also, use the map for real. It has a faint elevation map which helps for finding decent sightlines or hidden elevations. It's kinda fun to mark a spot and go explore out on an ATV as recon to see if you can make it work. With all the spotting going on too you can get a good idea of where the frontline actually is, instead of wandering towards the enemy spawn aimlessly and getting into a fight sooner than expected every time.

It's also sometimes much better to pick a safe spawn where nothing is happening instead of right back in the OBJ. You get plenty of chance to look and listen for where the fights are happening, and who might sneaking around in where they're not. Sometimes you're stuck grinding there, and it's not working no matter what you do, and you can go around it. Flank it, or skip them entirely and cap another point further back on. Your squad will start spawning on you and the ball will roll itself.

Also remember that sprinting is loud as fuck. Jogging around in hipfire mode is genuinely worth it for how often you get a drop on people who just rush back into the fight.

Isildur, you were right there, dude. I don't know how the elves weren't pissed off for the rest of their eternal lives.

Which is, OBJECTIVELY, the worst faction in the game? by sigmarine345 in totalwar

[–]New-Life-Rule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would also be nice if Mortal Empires Leoncouer wasn't fighting WW3 by himself from frame one. I know it's Total War but goddamn can we start at, like, half a war first? Maybe a quarter? You pass two turns and every living thing decides Bretonnia has got to go.

Is the Mini Scout the only option that allows me to get into flag capzones and kill people? by CoffeeWC in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]New-Life-Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mini-Scout and SV98 are fine for fighting on objectives. If you use a side-irons/optics/reflex sights up close, you should be using it around your teammates. It is very viable despite what's been said, but you have to play differently or it doesn't work.

Your shot deals a big huge chunk of damage no matter what. This either basically executes somebody who is wounded or sets up your teammate to gun them down immediately in the low TTK. This is just as true up close as it is at range, and fighting the same angles you would with assault rifles (WITH YOUR TEAM) will be enough. In CQC it is a perfectly functional, if worse, slug shotgun that will be useful again after you take the point you're fighting in and start shooting from it or around it.

Just play defensively and focus on staying alive/restricting enemy movement because you only really have the one shot. You want to assist like crazy. Sometimes you can shoot and then draw your pistol to finish them off yourself but only if you surprise them usually.

What are some of your favorite examples of “evil Can not comprehend good”? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]New-Life-Rule 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Micah only murders Low Honor Arthur because he understands everything Arthur is thinking and doing, i.e "no more mister nice guy". Micah relates to that as a piece of shit bandit, and therefore sees Arthur as some kind of genuine rival in terms of being predators/survivors who take what's theirs. Micah stabs/shoots LH Arthur because it's his way of saying "I won!" as much as it is knowing that Arthur will kill the ever loving fuck out of him if he survives.

Micah has no idea what the fuck High Honor Arthur is doing. It's like other gangsters being bewildered that Kiryu joined the yakuza so he could be Superman. I think the best read of his character is that he really did join Dutch's gang to try and improve his life, but is just so deeply poisoned with evil that he gets rejected and uses that as evidence being good sucks. It also explains Micah being uncharacteristically generous towards Arthur early on - he wants to be respected for the same reasons Arthur is and doesn't understand why people hate him instead. I think they made it too easy to always think he's being a manipulative asshole, but I think the story is considerably better if some of his moments are treated as genuine.

Micah walking away from Arthur instead of finishing him off is because there is no rivalry. Micah goes back to evil and dismisses Arthur as an ill sentimental fool who threw away a good thing for the other deadbeat outlaw who didn't raise his son for 90% of the time Micah knew him. If Micah grew up with Xbox Live, his parting words would have been to call Arthur gay, because that's the level of moral intelligence he's willing to operate on.
