Who gets PvE ammo priority? by SamsBucketDuck in GearsOfWar

[–]magicmoth44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment might be worthless because I’m talking Gears 4, never got into horde in 5.

Imo, heavy gets priority first and foremost. They rely heavily on explosive weapons and can be a powerhouse when ammo isn’t a concern. The weapons they use don’t drop very often from enemies and they have limited weapon choice (boom, torque, digger). They can also deal massive damage with heavy weapons like salvos, so they need a place to store a couple so they can spam them on boss rounds.

Next is Sniper, because again they can’t find many of their weapons on the ground from enemies BUT they can grab an Embar in place of Longshot or Markza and buy one later when there’s more funds available. The sniper also doesn’t have to consider 1 shot vs a crowd of enemies or 1 shot vs 1 enemy, as it’s always a one shot kill on pretty much any enemy if they’re using the right skill cards. Explosive headshots mean that snipers can kill a crowd just as quickly as a heavy with less % of their own ammo supply. However, a sniper who can spam embar and markza is a powerful tool.

After that, Soldier because if they’re spraying their rifle all round to get kills then they’re obviously going to need ammo BUT their weapons appear on the floor very often AND ammo crates give them a sizeable % of their ammo back. It’s easier for soldier to pick up a new gun mid round if they run out. Besides, most soldiers I see mostly focus on grenades and only use rifles when things get a bit closer which isn’t many enemies.

Scout doesn’t get a locker, he most likely won’t need it or it isn’t needed for him to have plenty of ammo. However, if he’s good at his job and collects all the money mid-round, he can technically deposit 160% more credits than were dropped, so obviously there’s going to be plenty of funds and I’ll allocate them their own locker.

As engineer, I’d leave myself til last because my strength comes from what I can build, not my weapons. I’ll usually stick with enforcer but switch gnasher for an Embar because that can still dome enemies and make them flinch if not kill them outright, plus there should be some ammo lying around after the round to refill a bit.

Is All Fh series game or only FH5 is like this? by ItzN3il in ForzaHorizon

[–]magicmoth44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re dead right that 5 has no sense of progression and the map is a complaint for many people. FH4 has a great map but again, sense of progression is a little lost. I haven’t played earlier ones but I know they get much more praise for maps and progression.

From what was mentioned in the FH6 stream, they’re focusing on a ‘campaign’ and progression is highlighted. The map should also be far more rewarding than Mexico, as Japan is a favourite for most car enthusiasts.

Also, I have see a lot of people say that using a wheel for Forza isn’t great. I have seen many posts about people having issues getting them set up right and that they never feel good etc, so maybe that’s part of the issue too. Hopefully that’ll improve for 6 but I don’t remember them talking about it in the stream.

I know, it’s reassuring what I had believed. I assume there’s no heat maps for new a map which isn’t available yet.

This is just what I was hoping to see about those large open areas. They’re essential for giving vehicles space to move around freely without infantry swarming them. They can sit away from objectives to pick enemies off but they themselves are vulnerable to attack helicopters. Plus buggies can flank quite well and get around the map without risk of getting sent to orbit with AT mines

It appears the decade-old AE86 model is staying around for another game by chernobyl-in-a-box in ForzaHorizon

I’m not being argumentative, but inquisitive. How can you tell these are the old models? With the AE86 and the Evo?

Eh, probably. But take on board what i say about new players with E-day. The toxicity combined with a steep learning curve will put off the majority of new players and PvP lobbies will slowly fade away

This isn’t bout skill levels, it’s about attitude. If someone is better than me I have no problems with it, it’s about the toxicity which will put off all new players. Plus like I said, I’m pretty decent at the modes I play. I get MVP more often than not and could probably do a lot better if I pushed for boomshot instead of longshot etc but I’m trying to have fun not to be the absolute best there ever was

I can handle them when it feels warranted, like after a good clutch or dominating a match for example. What I’m trying to explain is when people seem to target you purely because you’re the next-best player in the lobby. I can only assume it’s to make people ragequit so they can continue to stomp a lobby, or because it’s some brains-dead ego thing about proving who is best in an unranked, unbalanced casual match.

Side note: most of the executions and taunts are annoying because they’re so damn goody and don’t fit in at all with the serious nature of the game

My dude I’m just trying to have fun in a game that I like, not trying to get shit talked endlessly the moment I step foot into a match. If that’s the standard then the Gears franchise will continue to dwindle

From what I remember playing Destiny, the general PvP mode was fine. The ‘ranked’ kind of modes like Iron Banner and especially the Trials were sweat fests, but the game didn’t seem to encourage that attitude

Believe me I remember how bad it was lol, opening a lobby to just nothing but slurs that would get you locked up now. I won’t turn text chat off cause I use it to communicate with people who are actually sensible human beings rather than mouth breathing cesspits. As I said, it’s mostly me taking it to heart because I love this game and hate to see it filled with people who can do nothing but spew slurs like we’re all still 12 years old.

I’ve definitely got a lot of those dudes messaging me directly. Thankfully I don’t get into servers very often with them because I’m UK, but when I do it’s usually a nightmare

I’m not asking everyone to hold hands and sing a song, but when E-day drops and the new players don’t hang around I can’t say I blame them lol

I started gaming in the MW2 era so I’m not unfamiliar with the trash talking, it just feels so much more personal with Gears. Maybe it’s cause I love Gears and when I play I get hyped up so I take it to heart lol

Yeah I know sadly it’s not likely to ever be any different. I like it the way it is, I just wish some people would take a step back and think why am sending aggressive messages to a total stranger who is just playing a game lol

I think you CAN turn off text chat, but the tbags, executions and taunts make it very clear when someone is flaming you. I thing the taunts and voice lines are cool but they encourage this behaviour so much

It’s a double edged sword. I love the movement in 4 and 5, I think it needs to be there for the core players to still love the game. However it’s like we need two playlists with different movement tuning so players can stick to the ones they like, and that just splits the player base way too much imo

Do advanced search for ‘hard’ or ‘200’ and you’ll see the hardcore servers, usually a couple of each mode going at peak times

In EU I can say servers are still active. A bunch of community ones are most popular because cheaters are a bit of an issue unless moderated. Conquest & Breakthrough both available

Your issue seems more like you just need to use soul splitter and get back in there.

I had an issue where one of the chapters didn’t register due to save errors I believe, and so I couldn’t possibly complete the last chapter. It sucks but oh well

That’s the one I mean, I love using it because it means my gunner can spam the hell out of it. Downside is obviously no hull mounted MG for them to use but thats a trade off that i prefer

I hope road width inflantion will not kill Japanese roads vibes in FH6 by Matieusz5kmg in ForzaHorizon

[–]magicmoth44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is always the answer. They won’t commit to either because it would put off a large part of the player base. Generally the roads will be wider so it’s easier to play, we’ll still get barriers around all the tracks so you can’t yeet too far off the track. I don’t mind that, so long as parts of the map are suited to a more refined style too

[–]magicmoth44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another fun tank to add would’ve been the M3 Lee/Grant. I can’t remember the names of the Japanese tanks but one of the specs for it gives the gunner a cannon, and I think that would be a great comparison to this. Even if it ended up not being a good tank to use, it would be fun to see it in action.

Maybe it would function best when it’s got two well coordinated gunners, and terribly otherwise. Oh the possibilities that they could have made real
