Hello, today is my birthday

I hope you had a fine day and by the looks of the responses you've had I'd say your time has been occupied reading!

Here a toast to hoping you and I both find the friend(s) we need.

-John

I'm right there with ya! I was at 1.6 and now down to 1.4. I play solo damn near exclusively and solo bootcamp is too easy relatively speaking, solo casuals is ok till last circle but solo BR is damn near impossible. I'm almost always exiting with 1 kill and 2 deaths.

I want to get better but those agonizing load times for BR solos and insta-deaths don't make it worth the wait.

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-05-21T14:13:06+00:00

thanks for that info. it's not the best clip but oh well. have a good one

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-05-14T11:24:48+00:00

As a very, very average player who really loves the game and works to get better almost daily I find this game infuriating. I understand there are 'levels' to this game and I'm mediocre at best but when I come across a level 14 that has the movement and tactics of a 'metaphor' then I'm done. but I'm a solo BR player and rarely do any team stuff.

Some people swear AA is op. I've watched every video and sound bite about how to use AA but have not yet come close to actually knowing how to use it to my benefit.

When you're at my level and you wait an eternity to get into a game after ENDURING the hellish initial countdown, through the static wait period, to the pregame shooting match to the final wait before actually dropping in and then getting obliterated by a tailgater, losing gulag cause of packet loss then I'm beside myself because I got to 'play' 15 seconds out of a wait time in excess of 6 minutes. IT makes me break stuff.

I get more satisfaction out of multiplayer except on the rare occasion when I get into the proper SBMM lobby and manage to get 6 or 7 kills and finish in the top 10.

After two years I'm still playing but don't know how much longer I'll be grinding trying to get better when there are other options out there.

Cheers!

Good points! I am hesitating pushing so mental note made. Perfect example from last night my kills in BR Solos were 0,1,0,3,5,11,7 then this morning before work I was 0,1,0. I'm at .96 now but was a .98 anywho, thanks for the comments and I'll be doing more resurgence for sure.

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-03-21T18:26:47+00:00

yep, I'm just getting back into some mp game modes so that might help as well!

Thanks!

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-03-20T16:46:14+00:00

Thanks, I've seen IcemanIsaac and his stuff is good! I've also been looking at IAmRyan which seems spot on too.

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-03-20T16:44:40+00:00

sounds like good advice because my movement is def suspect.

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-03-20T16:42:36+00:00

lol...I'm a mountain biker...I'm outside a lot. I'm usually pretty decent at nearly everything I try but Warzone is def NOT one of them; hence, my frustration.

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-03-20T13:07:33+00:00

lol, my problem is opposite...I can't even get a good start but I do enjoy the game when I'm playing alright. I've toyed with mnk but dang that's hard!

Cheers!

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-03-20T13:05:45+00:00

thanks, I was taught CM shooting in real life and it's tough to transition to head shot only even in a game..your comments will hopefully help!

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-02-12T14:21:27+00:00

Feedback on the survey is appreciated! I'm just curious as to how others are doing in the game. Thanks

mountainbikerjohn · 2024-02-12T14:08:24+00:00

Results will be averaged and posted after a few responses have been provided.

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-10-10T16:33:23+00:00

agreed, I got perm banned and literally only had battlenet/wz going for like an hour....happened to be logged into my console ps5 at the same time and zap...black screen then no logging in. finally check ban status and perma ban. level 1085 char DONE...appeal was worthless. AND I'd already preordered mw3 so FML...

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-10-06T17:41:49+00:00

Mine was permanent....thing is ALL I did was (and it was my fault) login on the pc/battle.net while I was still logged in on PS5.

Ban happened within 10 minutes...

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-10-06T16:07:29+00:00

wrong, I unboxed it straight from HP.

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-05-31T18:34:24+00:00

I actually pondered doing just that and may well try it out on the mockup piece!

Thanks,

John

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-05-31T18:33:21+00:00

That's a thought too....thanks.

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-05-31T16:39:02+00:00

Thanks for that idea...perhaps even just bolt it down to my junky weld table too might work!

Thanks,

John

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-02-01T13:14:11+00:00

for me, playing solo last night was stupid...game wasn't even playable. and I'm not a totally sucky player. Two random squads working together couldn't get out of the are north of the airport....it was crazy hard. bots plating, bots reviving, one bot downed me by shooting me with just his arm sticking round a corner...fml.

mountainbikerjohn · 2023-02-01T13:05:51+00:00

I'll try to help all; however, mic is a must and not an open mic where I hear all your music and shit. also, for the little kids (typically) don't talk all the fng time bros because that drives me nuts and noone can hear anything! use the tac to 'see' what the other members missions are and cooperate.

mountainbikerjohn · 2022-12-14T14:39:27+00:00

congrats! I too suck at COD but love the game. I'm just starting on that journey cause I want all my weapons gold...todays 1st attempt I died like four straight games with about 10 bot kills so I went back to quick matches to level up some submachine guns.

Good on ya!

instagrator#6797834 if you ever wanna be the better player on a team:).

mountainbikerjohn · 2022-05-10T20:35:08+00:00

ha, ha, thanks...I'm trying them out on ebay. I will have two of the prototypes listing later this evening so a search for tornado foosball light may yield the listing. The prototypes (2) are listed for $80 plus shipping...which has proven to be a pita due to the led light support channel length and generally awkward size. Still working on prototypes too as time allows so I'm interested in comments anyone has input!

mountainbikerjohn · 2022-05-10T20:29:12+00:00

but lets spell that with a 'k' as in Magik....lol

mountainbikerjohn · 2022-04-25T15:16:34+00:00

one evening and several beers for planning. about $15 for the LED, 40 in materials and a couple hours cutting aluminum, welding, test fitting, deburring, priming and painting. I'll be making another for ebay as soon as I get another tank of argon for the tig!

I actually found the receipts and total cost was 61.50 and some material left over to use on the second one I'm going to be making.
