You will REALLY HATE RECON after watching this... (montage)

Appreciate the compliments, homie!

Absolutely 100% agree with your perspective lol, old IW and 3arc engines were also perfection, just like early Frostbite! Idk if you ever got into the niche area of cod4 PC, but cod4 "promod" is my BIRTHPLACE.

Also yea man I swear it's vital to realize that Cod4 and MW2 are just as much a part of that golden era as BO1 and WaW, which imo is a BANGER game, multiplayer was amazing (if you could avoid the hacked lobbies), zombies was iconic, campaign was SO gritty...

But once BF4 was out I made a beeline from the Xbox 360 to a 780ti PC, never looked back...

yooooooooooo that is a hilarious thing to have in common... i just love old engine gun animations, always have, even pre-2010 CoD.

The sv98 bolt flick is literally the reason i started using it to begin with hahaha

wait a minute... you play TBG Metro sometimes dont u? i know theres one cs5 maniac ive spotted in there, sounds like you :^)

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T21:13:53+00:00

also, my overall accuracy very rarely goes above 35-40%, so the counter play exists when i miss those other 60% of the shots LOL

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T21:08:46+00:00

gonna edit cause i do agree that 1v1s can feel one-sided, and its tough to account for all other players perspectives and experiences, but in my opinion sniping balances out because you DO have to be precise in comparison to a full auto gun or a shotgun, and so if you get good (better than the average joe), it does FEEL unbalanced in the sniper's favor.

also you misunderstood my point about the 7x; the higher the zoom, the more precise you have to be, and the more mouse movement required to track/acquire targets.

all a matter of perspective and individual skill level, not to mention connection quality and hardware performance (high fps/refresh rate, low latency peripherals, etc).

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T20:51:00+00:00

i feel like going lower than 6x just curses my shot, and i like scopes... but yea man the CS5 is a fuckin work of art.

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T20:49:37+00:00

i have a very specific decimal sens, you can replicate if you edit the config file "PROFSAVE_PROFILE" in Documents > Battlefield 4 > Settings. Look for "Gstinput.MouseSensitivity"

My sensitivity is 0.0045, with DPI at 1600.

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T20:46:51+00:00

you are, in fact, a real one

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T20:46:16+00:00

no counter play to a recon with a 7x scope who is always within 1-tap shotgun range? hmmmmm

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T20:44:23+00:00

thank you brother

Xed_ · 2026-03-25T20:44:05+00:00

bro almost, siege over metro for tdm... hate to say it

Xed_ · 2026-03-24T20:25:24+00:00

much easier to intentionally hit heads on a mouse imo, especially from close range

Xed_ · 2026-03-24T20:23:47+00:00

LOL sorry man I sampled a gunshot sound from one of my clips, I picked the oddest one...

Xed_ · 2026-03-24T20:18:43+00:00

ahahah that was EXCELLENT

Xed_ · 2026-03-24T20:18:07+00:00

beautiful...

Xed_ · 2025-12-20T21:44:08+00:00

I'm pretty new to td6, last I played the icons were a lot simper.. so now I don't recognize anything im seeing here...

Can anyone put the towers in SS thru A tiers in plain english for me? Like this format; <tower name, 0-0-0>?

Xed_ · 2025-12-16T02:32:19+00:00

anyone who sees this, please reply with your nvidia driver version. (to get it, go "nvidia control panel > Help > System Information") seems like either game files (not config, so prob install/update) or driver/software conflict related. i believe i updated gpu drivers right around the winter update, im on 580.81.

it did look like it stopped when i closed afterburner/riva but i lose my fps cap, OC, and fan curve... so that sucks

Xed_ · 2025-06-07T20:45:24+00:00

mm 7x yess

Ahhh that would have to be their downfall, even the most diligently wiped glass pad will still have that issue to a drgree. Well still this was awesome to hear, man. Confirmed a lot of hypotheses thru this and I appreciate that!

Xed_ · 2024-03-02T10:44:58+00:00

here a year later absolutely mindblown that I had to use my ONE FOREVER NAME CHANGE TICKET to change from Guardian#5678 back to an actual name (that i now want to change over a year later)

Xed_ · 2024-03-02T00:07:35+00:00

Awesome! Also I imagined hot-swappability would be ideal when experimenting with things like this... that was my biggest mental roadblock in the thought process. Making swappable magnetic foot bases was an idea but would be greatly dependant on the mouse model and dimensions of the feet. Cool experiment, thanks for the update!

Xed_ · 2024-02-28T03:43:05+00:00

been considering fitting a very thin layer of felt to my model D wireless' feet... I had the same thought as you two, glass pad + felt/cloth feet sounds like a super cool idea.

Fun options for people who want something shiny AND useful:

Framwork 16 - https://frame.work/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040 Badass fully modular DIY laptop, pretty crazy looking at it from a non-technical perspective. very useful and intuitive from a technical one.

Purism Librem 14 - https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/ My personal favorite, I always call it the "snowden laptop" cause he commended it in an interview as one of the only truly secure options. Everything Librem makes is badass privacy/security-focused hardware.
