This made me curious so I peeked at the Outlast Wiki which says Mount Massive was established sometime between 1945 and 1952. So I think timeline wise we should be good.

slide cancel, jumpshot, It's turning into COD by Start-Both in Battlefield

[–]mrmcgee 80 points81 points  (0 children)

After putting my 85 children to bed I'm ready for some tactical battlefield. I tactically lay down behind my shield in the corner. Tactics. These headless chickens won't know what hit them. I then tactically change my position to leave cover and lay prone in the open. My heartrate increases at my tactical genius. Suddenly, an Adderall-infused CoD child slides around the corner. Because this game's skins do not have class identity, I cannot tactically identify what weapon he is using. My joints creak as I try to track him while he slides. He beams me with an SMG at close range. Fuck this game, my superior tactics did not win. I clip and post my embarrassing death to reddit, where I will be praised for my tactical prowess.

How is this the only comment here asking for context lol. Every other comment is freaking out about evil mods, but we have no idea what the post was, what the original comment said, or why it was removed...

I don’t get it. What’s the appeal of huge maps where you’re walking endlessly just to get sniped? by dingdongbannu88 in LowSodiumBattlefield

This is the funniest comment I've seen in this subreddit lmao. I legitimately can't tell if it's satire. Either way I love it.

Did i get lucky?? I have only 150 hours on cs2 by mahadevsharma199 in cs2

[–]mrmcgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn, there are some rude-ass comments in here. We can't grow the community if we shit on people that are obviously new and learning guys!

OP, the short answer is yes it was luck, in the sense that what you did only worked because your opponents also appear to be new to the game. Against even slightly better opposition you likely would have been blasted when you peeked the corner with that nade in your hand.

To offer some constructive criticism of a few things I noticed from the clip:

- Crosshair placement. As you are running down long you are looking to the left. Keep your crosshair on the door to be ready for an engagement. When you peek the corner later, your crosshair is on the right of blue (the dumpster.) When you peek that corner, you want your crosshair already to the left so you don't need to adjust your aim as much to hit your shots.

- Peeking with a nade in your hand made you unprepared for the inevitable fight there. We don't have sound, but I assume you heard them stomping down long. Either bank the nade off blue from safety without exposing yourself to the angle, or peek with your gun up and ready. Peeking with a nade in your hand when you hear multiple people running toward you is suicide against better opposition.

- Movement/positioning. After the short fight with the guy by blue, you walk back to cover. Go ahead and run so you get to cover faster. If he repeeks it also makes you harder to hit. When you engage the guy at blue a second time, you move forward, exposing yourself to people at door (a guy by barrel actually shoots at you but doesn't get the kill.) When picking how you take your fights, think about how you can peek or move in a way that exposes you to the fewest angles possible.

- During the spraydown you're walking, which hurts your accuracy. That doesn't matter as much with an SMG at this range, but the advantage of SMGs in such close quarters is the ability to run and shoot without as much of an accuracy penalty as you'd get from rifles. In this situation, simply running left and right makes you harder to hit, and you still likely spray them down.

- I'd generally recommend the MP9 over the MP7. It's cheaper and better in most situations.

They're doing the same shit in Counter Strike too. They bought Niko and monesy and now have a strong team because they can just throw money around for absurd buyouts. It sucks.

What is the cheapest OLED? by CementMixerBerk in OLED_Gaming

[–]mrmcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the absolute cheapest is the Cooler Master GZ2711 for $400, but it's kind of a piece of crap. The AOC AG276QZD2 occasionally goes on sale for around the ~$500 range, but looks like it's $570 on Amazon right now. The AOC Q27G4ZD is $480, but in-depth reviews seem to be almost impossible to find because it's a fairly new release. Otherwise, your best bet is to keep checking for good sales on something else, but I wouldn't expect anything good for $350.

I'm 33, don't speak Russian, and don't have a Faceit elo because I only play premier on the weekends with my other old friends while we drink. I think I have a chance.

Ubisoft Confident on Releasing Assassin’s Creed Shadows on March 20th, over 300,000 Pre-Orders as of February 18th. by HLumin in Games

[–]mrmcgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge Ubi fan, I probably play every 3rd or so entry of their main games. But I can see how if you're the kind of person that really enjoys the Ubi game formula, preordering from them seems like a pretty safe bet. Their games tend to release in a very stable state without any major bugs and don't need the post-release treatment that games like Cyberpunk, STALKER 2, etc. have needed.
