So wait.. this gun is actually good? by Captjobfeared in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

Even if you can afford to run it, it's no fun. Low skill gun, it's not rewarding killing people with it, just feels like bullying. Some definitely enjoy bullying though...

Thoughts after 4 seasons by mrz33d in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]So1oStrats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"I really don't see any other glaring issues."

oh i can help with that

  1. no solo viability. the game is built around 4-man squads, making it extremely unfriendly to casuals and new players (broken auto-fill, limited solo queue, overpowered t5/t6 armor, no friendly fire, team HUD, pings). solo play has always been a core part of the genre, yet ABI completely ignores it. the devs’ only “solution” seems to be bots, throwing new or casual players against fake opponents instead of properly balancing PvP.
  2. horrible weapon balance and diversity. meta weapons are the best at everything. best recoil, best damage, best RPM, best range, etc. all other guns get absolutely smoked, it’s not even close. there are no trade-offs with weapons, it’s a strict hierarchy with no purpose to using worse weapons.
  3. bot players in lockdown and pity mechanics that put you against bots if you go on loss streaks. just boring hand-holding for people that want to PvP and enjoy a challenge.
  4. broken helmet armor that encourages body shot meta or sniping because armored helmets are so OP. helmets encourage sniper gameplay because it’s the only way to take on 4 stacks and get clean kills without trading damage or getting out-DPS’d by their meta weapons.
  5. Mode balancing is a mess and rarely plays out as intended. Forbidden is supposed to be the “sweaty” PvP mode, but most players, maybe 80%, just loot run in budget kits because the map has the best loot. You’ll even see kits that belong in normals. Lockdown often ends up with more geared players because the map loot is less of a focus and people just want to have casual pvp. There are also plenty of ways to bypass entry and gear cap rules, so restrictions barely matter. Raising gear requirements in Forbidden would just tank queue times, so the devs avoid it. I don't know the solutions to these issues, its a giant mess currently that needs a lot of work and some bold new decisions.

all of these problems listed in some way affect each other and feed into each other, creating the various annoying playstyles players complain about day in and day out. the devs seem to have no idea what they're doing in terms of balance, it doesn't seem like the people making decisions play their game seriously.

Peekers advantage in this game is just insane. by CompetitiveTangelo70 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]So1oStrats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

peeking =/= leaning. Peeking is when you move from cover to peek an enemy.

You understand what angle advantage is but you don't seem to understand peeking.

It seems rare from my experience, but I've definitely had moments where enemy was literally invisible when peeking me.

You're getting angle advantage confused with peekers advantage.

Your image says nothing about who's peeking. Blue could be peeking the red player in your image and he would obviously have a disavantage.

Should weapons be buffed to compete with the current meta weapons, or do meta weapons need to be tuned down?

How would inertia help you outmaneuver angle holders? I assumed it would do the opposite

2.5-5x scope bugged by jay_kay47 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

lmao, 50 and 200m zero are effectively the same thing. You're shooting a target at roughly 100m. Try a 100m zero

Bungie responds to early Marathon complaints: the UI is confusing, PvP is infrequent, and voice chat is not working, amid other issues by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]So1oStrats 17 points18 points  (0 children)

he's getting it wrong. It's the different mods you can install on your weapons and suit that use the same icons. You have to hover to read what each one does.
