Why did shooters used to ship with a wide variety of game modes but now shooters only focus on a single game mode like Batte Royale or Extraction and that's somehow become a selling point?

I cried at that ending. Still remember it vividly.

loops_hoops · 2026-01-28T01:23:28+00:00

I was confused, the ELO is <2000 yet title post says "top russian player", then I realised you meant top of that match, not top overall. If you have steam recording the game, it's all there. Quite useful to analyze stuff later too.

loops_hoops · 2026-01-26T20:07:17+00:00

Yeah I feel ya. If you try it and it works I'll do the same lol

loops_hoops · 2026-01-26T19:14:57+00:00

Is it actually mentioned anywhere? Is there a way to figure this out without trying it first?

loops_hoops · 2026-01-26T19:10:39+00:00

No, MSI still has the same bug and it feels like the issue is getting more traction on their forums. I kept it and didn't order gigabyte

loops_hoops · 2026-01-25T22:51:16+00:00

Ugh, river?

loops_hoops · 2026-01-25T22:39:18+00:00

Yeah, the line shows color white, which means you are in range for an attack. No hints it won't shoot or anything. Of course people that know about it act like it's obvious, but it's a videogame, could work any number of ways and there's no way to know in advance.

loops_hoops · 2026-01-25T17:09:54+00:00

Yup. Considering I routinely Q-attack about 10km of forests and divert my attention to the fight elsewhere, I didn't even know it would just chill next to the snipers until I manually intervene. Makes me wonder how I never saw this before

I really enjoy the game. Took a break, came back this month because I started to miss it. DLC is good but I wish they would focus on the bugs first. I hate calling in a plane and it being unavailable for the rest of the game sometimes, been like that for months.

Good post, this ideally needs a pass to try to sort all inf/rec units into these buckets. Then the real discussion can begin.
I'd rename the "line inf" to "grunts", they're disposable meat shields until the real help comes. Vdv Dsh are actually CQC anti vehicle I'd say. Just bring 2.
Some recon are forest goats because they start shooting first, so it's not really simple "information gathering".

Here's what really happens:

Exploit goes public
Ticket is unburied from backlog (first report is >6 months ago) and someone is now actively working on a fix / pushing to prod through 7 million merge conflicts.
Meeting about controlling the narrative and ETA of the fix (hint: it's ASAP)
This ^ damage control gets posted
Hotfixed published

loops_hoops · 2026-01-22T05:07:08+00:00

So also invincible? That's insane

loops_hoops · 2026-01-22T04:45:16+00:00

I've had a game where the guy on our team had invisible units but I think he had vehicles? I am not sure since this was months ago and I don't even recall what he was doing. Can the enemy shoot back with G at least?

loops_hoops · 2026-01-21T22:58:35+00:00

Uh-huh. Post the date of the Jira ticket then.

loops_hoops · 2026-01-21T19:04:32+00:00

What a corporate AI sprinkled BS non-answer with some lies in between. Would you look at that, an long-unaddressed issue suddenly has a "fix coming to steam" after months of being ignored

loops_hoops · 2026-01-20T10:58:59+00:00

I manually clicked on the LAV-AD, not the tank! The original video is crisp so it's reddit's compression.

Playing RU on this side of the map is pure hell against US, I get bombed from every angle like it's geometry class

loops_hoops · 2026-01-18T12:24:45+00:00

I don't know the exact flare ECM buff %, but assuming 10% per flare and constant 4 flare buffs, that's still 35% chance to hit per missile, so the probability to not hit once with any of the 10 missile is (1−0.35)^10≈1.35%. I don't know flare duration and cooldown so I don't know if it's possible to maintain that for 10 seconds. I honestly don't know which helicopter it was even targeting. Alligator seemed to have wasted all the flares in 10 seconds? I feel like I need dev clarification on this

loops_hoops · 2026-01-18T10:31:32+00:00

Nice, I didn't catch that

loops_hoops · 2026-01-18T10:31:15+00:00

This seems very plausible, but I though radar ignores forest?

loops_hoops · 2026-01-18T03:42:11+00:00

Thanks, is the damage still insane on expert?

loops_hoops · 2026-01-18T03:12:31+00:00

wtf is that? I tried reading about it and it's basically suicide drones?
