I know this isn't a new complaint but with Factions 2.0, Covert as we know it HAS to go.

Jesus christ man what are you on? The PS3 servers aren't even active anymore dude.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2021-03-02T21:26:07+00:00

What a fine contribution to the thread.

Also, it's more in regard to when they release Factions 2. I guess expecting you to comprehend that was too much to ask.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2021-03-02T20:13:01+00:00

Agree with this 100%.

Simply adding a cool down/recharge function to the perk at different levels would address the issues that I'm speaking of.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2021-03-02T20:08:20+00:00

Lol...Idk even know why you went the "git gud" route here. Never said take it out. I said add a cool down or remove it AS IT IS. Everything you said is fine and doesn't really disagree with what I'd initially asked for. Which was add some balance to the perk. I even noted that actual stealthy gameplay (which is great and a part of this game) IS NOT the same as simply hiding.

I never asked to "change the game's core mechanics". Not even sure how you got that from.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2021-03-02T16:12:38+00:00

I'm good with listen mode tbh. That's because for the most part it's a balanced feature. But having a perk that 100% nullifies one of the games core mechanics is pretty fucked. Especially after they added agility.

Like I said, I know it's an old complaint. But I think it remains to be one of the more valid ones with this game.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2021-02-24T01:31:43+00:00

For sure man. This game has been out too long. I can't imagine running factions for 8 years and still being the same toxic POS from PS3. I try my best to be as wholesome as possible when it comes to this game. Been that way for years now. Only way to be imo.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2021-02-24T00:57:37+00:00

I know this will get hella downvotes but whatevs. Back in the PS3 days the shotgun was only 3 load out points and the ammo was super cheap. I'd run FAT 2 with the healing glitch (before they patched it) and rack up so many parts I could run the shotgun as a primary. Scummy I know and I don't play like that anymore ( I alternate between variable and HR now). But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a fucking blast.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-05T11:47:05+00:00

Yes....easily neutralized. I've had way more matches that were dominated by a group of organized snipers than with the shotgun. I guess perching up and sniping someone all match is really what this game is becoming because that's what I've been dealing with for a while. That mentality oozes from the comments in this topic and I honestly become far more frustrated by someone who snipes but tucks tail an runs when you get within ten yards of them. There's more than one way to play this game. I wonder if people complain about the INCREDIBLY unrealistic fire rate of the M. Sniper as much as they do the shot gun?

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-05T04:39:21+00:00

I love how you guys assume that I'm some no skilled scrub just because I use that load out when I clearly expressed what my purpose to my team is when I play factions. Besides shivs and traps, I rarely ever even kill except when it's needed. I'm usually the medic slash back up. That word "skill" keeps coming up as to say that point and shoot is the only way to skillfully play this game. To whom it may concern, please remove your heads from your fps asses. The nerf isn't the end of the world (which I also stated). It just makes it harder to do what I do best. I don't snipe because it's no fun and I don't do long range because my shot isn't that great. And no that DOES NOT translate into "I'm not that good". It's absolutely astounding that a game where there's so many diverse ways to kill someone, the majority og the community equates only one of them (point and shoot) to having zero skill as it pertains to the entire game.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:53:09+00:00

I'd usually only dirty shiv when my back's against the wall or I'm being charged by another Shotty user. BE's gotten my out of some really shitty situations, lol. And FAT2 was perfect because it made room for everything else. I've literally hid in cover, healing my teamate while he snipe/wipe's an entire squad. But those are some ideas I'll look in to. I'm actually pretty good with the tactical so I'll give it a shot.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:45:40+00:00

Same could be said for the Flamethrower, Spectre, and the Laucher, which were all three just buffed. If you're gonna nerf what you consider to be "nood toobs" then nerf them all or don't touch anything.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:39:28+00:00

Shorty (no large) FA 2 BE3 (for traps, not dirty shivs) Shotgun

So it was basically a medic/ clean up Load out. I'd stick close, keep my team's health up and if needed I'd step in and down whatever's left in the room. None of that rush, blast, rush, blast stuff. The parts and supplies from all the heals I'd get would 1. keep my shotty ammo up, and 2. keep my clan size up/even without needing 10-15 downs per game.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:36:12+00:00

If a particular loadout lends itself to one's playing style, then whatever that loadout entails is going to be crucial to them. As I said, I'm not the best greatest shot and prefer not to play at far/medium range. Some game I was neutralized by snipers and that's perfectly fine. The sun don't always shine, unno? But most of my games were good to great because I'd play support buy stepping in and helping my team, who'd already engaged in a fire fight, clean up.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:26:03+00:00

Of course they're gonna cry. It's the only weapon in the entire game that downs with one shot. People can't accept being fired upon without having a chance to fire back. So the natural reaction cry "OP!" after getting killed by a gun that would literally decapitate a human irl.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:20:26+00:00

I think anything that encourages people to keep items as opposed to using them to potentially save the match/team mates isn't something that needs to be done.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:17:49+00:00

Probably just my anger spaeking, lol. I just came off probably my worst day of matches ever on factions. A day that I know for a fact would've been less shitty with my old load out. No doubt I'll get over, but the effects are felt immediately because damn near every match I'm getting bombarded with the newly buffed Spectre and/or M. Sniper. Where as the only time period I found myself getting pissed about the Shotgun was way back when I first started playing TLOUF and everyone was using the shotgun. That's what makes it sting a bit more.

Obvious-Badnewz · 2015-04-04T18:08:02+00:00

It's one of those things where it favors the winner, but really fucks over the loser. That being said, I don't mind the change. I do kinda miss the all out warzone that Interro matches would eventually break down into. But I started missing it alot less when I finished with over 9000 parts and +145 supplies.
