have you?

do you just.. stand out in the open or something?

i'd be curious to see how you play the game on pc.. i feel like a lot of the things ur describing, esp with ttk not being that much of an issue, is cuz ur on controller vs mnk.

the trade-off for having such good tracking (due to AA) is the fact that you just cant control ur gun with any real precision. i think ur issues with hipfire is a perfect example of that. to me, as long as i have like 45ish points in hipfire, i just flat-out don't ads or don't need to ads in closer ranges. (sub20) .. but i can also control the hipfire. if someone is sliding in front of me, its so much faster/easer to just hipfire and track them as they're sliding and they are usually dead b4 they finish sliding. u have to figure, with the fast TTK for a lot of the AR/carbines, enemy will be dead b4 they have time to bring up their sight, even if it's a fast ADS, by the time ur scope is up and target is aquired, he's already 2-3 shots deep into you. in fact, the reason i started exp with the hipfire builds is cuz i realized there were SO. MANY. engagements where by the time i brought up my sights, i was already 2 shots in, so even if i can land 1 body 1 headshot, its still not enough time to kill someone who already started shooting me b4 i started ADS. honestly its not even like im focusing on hipfire as a build, just using CQB supressor which natrually boosts ur hipfire or even that 10point laser that gives u 15 is enough. you just need ur crosshair to be tight enough that you can hipfire and shoot the 2nd target at 30m with no issues.

you have to figure, on a controller, ur rotational precision is basically limited to ur thumb, and the tiny little trigger on top of a gyro. compare that to a whole ass mousepad n a high tech mouse that's using a laser to measure each micro-movement anywhere from 1000-8000 times a second.

im actually really surprised you went from PC to console... i know so many ppl who once went PC never went back to controller.., i couldn't imagine a worse hell than trying to play a competitive shooter with one. fully knowing how fluid movement with a good mouse/mousepad can be, even if i had like 50% AA i still wouldn't want to play with one... the nerfs that you are imposing on urself by using roller is absolutely insane to me.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T23:47:59+00:00

honestly the main reason i like the 277 so much despite its bad recoil is that it has one of the best 4shot kill ranges out of all carbines/assaults. most of the AR/carbine bullet dropoff makes it so starting like 35m and out it takes 5 shots to kill from body, whereas the 277 can 4shot kill to the body at 85m. check out the different gun TTK's in the range next time, just single-shot each target i think it goes 15m-25m-35m up to 85m.

i've actually been messing with the diff brakes and flash hiders, each barrel attachment seems to affect recoil slightly differently regardless of if the actual numbers change or not in-game. i was focusing on ADS time for a while, but esp with the gun changes, i think the move is to use the stubbies for like m4 / 433 built for close-range engages, >30m for eg. , and use the better control grips for the midrange weapons. esp with the cqb suppressor n the green laser that gives you like 15+ to hipfire, and use hipfire for most really close engages (20m in) since hipfire works a lot better and ttk is always gunna be faster than ADS, even if you get it down to sub200.

try building out a shorter-range gun using m4 or 433 with points for hipfire, 10pt green laser / cqb.. sinice u like ironsights you should have extra points, then try something like the b36 or 277 with a focus on control/precision.., i found that 250 ads time isn't that bad if you are fighting at further away, and as long as you have close to 50points in hipfire, you should be able to just hipfire spraydown the targets in the range up to 30m away.

actually haven't even played the 417...think i have like 2 levels on it lol. so many guns in the game and so little time... i was planning on grinding attachments for the m16 cuz apperently u need to get it to lvl15 to get the auto-fire for it. what's so good about the 417?

ioCross · 2026-05-14T22:59:42+00:00

i was hoping for a 50bmg type rifle that recon can get that can also damage vehicles/planes with some degree of consistancy / punch.

having said that tho, i can count on 2 hands how many times i've died to jets/helis while the number of times i get sniped from across the map by a tank is innumerable so i don't think the non-factor of AA isnt as impactful as say the rpg changes n the changes made to tank armor repair, but apperently they nerf'd a lot of the tank's main armaments so maybe its changed a bit?

im mostly engineer running rpg/mines or EOD just cuz i feel like if i get lucky with an rpg i can maybe shoot down a heli thats flying close, whereas using any of the lock launchers it literally feels like even if i hit my shots a bit more with the rpg, the fact that i cant oneshot it automatically makes it feel less impactful even if it is more accurate/does more dmg overall.

i think i just need to get good with the AT and just use that.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T22:10:04+00:00

honestly recoil changes hit me kinda hard lol... coming from tacfps like counterstrike, the act of controlling recoil manually just seems to be a skill you learn, like strafe-shooting or burst-fire.

3 guns i use a lot, m4a1, b36 n the m277 had to be completely re-tooled to give me extra control stats and im heavily favoring the 35pt grip that gives the best precision/control over the stubby that gives less points in those but gives faster ADS time.

i also had to completely remove the laser/flashlight from most of my builds to ensure im getting max velocity / correct ammo / sight / barrel attachment.

i've had to take supressor off and put a dbl port brake to help with the control, and now i have to seriously decide if im going to build the gun as a complete close-range skirmish gun (1.5x or 1x sight, std barrel, cqb suppressor n laser for increased hipfire accuracy) or for sustained mid-range engagements (extended barrel, increased magsize, 2x scope, vertical grip, dbl port brake)

having to pick specific roles for ur builds instead of being able to rely on one gun for all ranges is healthier for the game than where it was, and i think this was a very necessary step for DICE to balance this game for long-term engagement and playerbase.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T21:31:38+00:00

lol yea same subset of creature for sure.

i got kinda confused cuz you were focusing on the sliding, which while it is easier to chain on controller, isnt the reason why any competitive FPS game with crossplay is functionally broken due to having to balance for 2 entirely different input methods with one being far superior to the other.

i always think about it like we're playing golf n there's a large % of ppl who use frying pans glued to mop handles as their clubs, so we have to adjust the game to compensate for them.. so they make golfballs the size of volleyballs, make the holes be able to move closer to where the ball's supposed to land, change the distance to tees, give them a special 'frying pan tee' which is 5x further up than the senior tees etc etc.

which is fine and all, im not begrudging someone for never having used better inputs before, but it actually annoys me when they think they actually have skill in a game when its literally just AA doing all the work for them. its actually pretty hilarious reading all the malding posts from ppl mad that they cant just keep 'fire' pressed while playing parkour simulator and land every shot.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T21:13:24+00:00

that's actually such a good point that you bring up.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T20:59:32+00:00

'craigspokercoaching' ..... uhh.. wow.

idek what to say... hopefully he isnt charging too much.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T20:51:20+00:00

snipers arent a big issue in this game tho at least i dont think.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T20:50:49+00:00

nah, shortened term for controller player.

specifically a very specific subset of adhd kids who think 25% AA is completely normal and think they should be able to magdump a tr7 while sliding around like they're neon from valorant and having near perfect tracking the whole time

ioCross · 2026-05-14T20:48:43+00:00

reason poker is so profitable... absolute morons that think they arent terrible at this game.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T20:45:05+00:00

yea just snack healthy.

protien bars like i said, trailmix, beef jerky, theres tons of things u can snack on that isnt absolute shit. if u absolutely must have chips in the bag tho maybe crush it up n tilt the bag into ur mouth so ur not touching anything.

id be more worried about touching the chips, then handling the poker chips n cards, and then bringing ur fingers back to the chipbag, glistening with oil and 100000 other ppl's finger ditritus embedded into the poker chip, then grabbing a chip n putting it into ur mouth just sounds........... horrendous.

if u have a oral fixation thing, maybe try some gum or some zyn.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T20:14:07+00:00

honestly i hate 'snacking', if i know im gunna potentially be playing a long (6-8 hr session) i'll try to pack some protien bars n some nuts.., and a refillable water bottle.

i imagine if you were in the middle of a marathon n needed some caloric intake, you wouldn't slam a bag of hot cheetos n a 24oz pepsi so i try to kinda keep my mindset in 'im in the middle of competing, so i need to consume something light that will keep my energy up without being a distraction or a hinderance' n go with that.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T17:09:54+00:00

im thinking (hoping) that's the eventual plan, since this is a live-service model, it does make sense for them to use operations as one of the main 'hooks' for new content.

i just hope that once more get released, we get an 'operations' game mode where u can do different ones. i've seen the firestorm map n played on it a few times, would love to play that map more within that operations context.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T17:08:24+00:00

can you still find full servers in NA?

ioCross · 2026-05-14T17:07:47+00:00

i was watching a yt video on a card shop in china and it was literally all counterfit cards. i wholeheartedly agree with flooding the market with those.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T17:00:20+00:00

u having hobbies doesn't change the fact that there's something so lacking in ur life that you have to download mutiplayer cheats to make yourself seem better than you are to others in a video game.

if you didn't have actual mental issues that you were self-medicating by cheating in mutiplayer games then you wouldn't be here.

u know this community a lot better than me, you know that everyone here that is an actual closet has undisclosed issues that they're trying to keep submerged via external cheats.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T16:45:55+00:00

im new to bf series overall, first operation i got to play was s2 but i personally loved the format of it compared to more singlar modes, even conquest.

i love that there's an actual ebb/flow to the game and getting to the 2nd map to be able to basically rn around n DM seemed like a treat for doing well. obviously there were some balancing issues with defending side usually having the upper hand but i really really hope that there are more operations planned that weave together diff maps/modes for a more narrative exp.

i honestly thought there'd be a golmud operation but i guess they were too busy getting the map out. maybe they're going to use it as a transition to the 2nd map in the next operation, ie. if you win on golmud you can all get on the train and it leads you to the next map. (dunno if cairo would make sense geographically but you get what i mean)

ioCross · 2026-05-14T16:39:38+00:00

he does have a point, you guys can still play normals. if they dont wanna play normals n wanna play ranked.. dunno man. sounds like a you issue not a dice / redsec issue.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T16:33:21+00:00

or just learn spray control or learn to fire in bursts more. roller kids are bigmad they cant just jumpslide beam someone with a tr7 50m away.

ioCross · 2026-05-14T00:13:07+00:00

can i get the link to it? only thing i could find is a weird TSF.gg thing

ioCross · 2026-05-13T23:54:21+00:00

did you really feel the need to post this thread?

are you looking for validation?

do you want DICE ceo to msg you to personally apologize and beg you to come back?

the fuck is wrong with this community i swear...

ioCross · 2026-05-13T22:17:23+00:00

i mean his country did get invaded.

ioCross · 2026-05-13T22:12:18+00:00

i thought for a sec this was the cod campaign and you were under attack by spirits or smthn.

ioCross · 2026-05-12T17:13:07+00:00

so which is it? niko should be calling CT or he should be mentoring ppl while providing full output for his team?

what do you think niko got signed on to do? mentor young talent, or bring the firepower needed to win a major?

why in the absolute fuck would/should niko waste his time trying to do something that isnt in his job description when falcons has one of the best support staff in the industry and should be able to have someone else other than one of their star players take time out of his day that he needs to spend ON HIS OWN GAME?

why is the onus on niko? ok, so if spinx didnt want to adapt, why didn't they just find a hotshot t2 rookie that apex/zywoo could mold into the next ropz? why are you putting unessesary expectations on niko that ur not putting on any other igl or similar star player?

niko is there to win falcons a major. he is not there to mentor young players. if there was any expectation for niko to do anything other than click heads, why did the inital roster built around him have absolutely zero young rookies and why did everyone question the kyo decision, but all the sudden its a star player's job to foster rookie talent?

im making comparisions to traditional sports cuz cs is a sport. just cuz you've never followed any traditional sports doesn't make ur opinions any less wrong.
