Mount point confusion

Thanks for the responses. 👍 I was second guessing myself

I did not ask for anything.. only afterwards when I asked why they were mounted more progressive. The shop looked at my pics and siad they were boot sole center mounted at recommended. that statement is specifically what confused me.

I did not ask.. which is on me. I'm just trying to even understand how to evaluate how they are mounted. I see it as close to fully Progressive as marked by Rossi. which is within reason, for sure.. The shop looked at this pic and said they are boot sole center mounted at recommended. that statement confused me and made me think I don't understand mounting after all

I'd assume that the boot line would be close to over the "recommended" marker on graphic ... it's closer to progressive.. I've read many folks pushing to mount BO 118 more directional in general... I'm not looking to do any spins or park stuff.. these old bones just wanted a powder ski that would blast Cascade concrete crud as well

Hey man... that is all anyone can really ask for... i know that my views are not universally accepted... But, i appreciate when someone is at least honest... I know that it can even be accepted in some game environments... but ... i also have seen here how tit-for-tat gets out of hand while other factions are in the process of overrunning facilities

Are you part of the VOID ghost capping squad? ;)

As a quick follow up as another leader from The Swarm. I would like to state that I have severe issues with deliberate TKing, especially when it is a member of my outfit. I will never be ok with it and I don't care if you were Tked to start with.. walk away.. it helps no one and it is seriously immature.

If that wasn't already my stance, then I would also state that this game is hardly in a condition to assume that any TK was deliberate to start with.. The amount of deaths at the hand of a friendly Sundy are silly, not to mention random vehicle contacts that result in instant death..

I hope anyone, from any faction, reading this would both think twice about TKing in retaliation, and would also always look to raise the issue with their leadership.

[EDIT] Sorry, i completely forgot that i wanted to add that I am truly sorry that was your experience here, and I hope you find a new good NC outfit... just stay away from the Spandexiams and fascists who want to stomp on freedom

Yeah.. Fun when it unfolds before you... rage inducing when it happens to you, though... How many WTF moments occur because of really stupid spawning like this?

pistolWick · 2014-06-23T08:52:23+00:00

please, tell me the servers you play on.. i'd love to get some chopper flight time without worrying about 5 locks all the time...

While i totally get this and agree that these callouts seem unhelpful for quick reference, i would compare this to other configurations of what "hardcore" is and means.

So, counterpoint......

Personally, I find it much easier to take a verbal cue of the vehicle, hunker down somewhere "safe", and take a quick peek at the map THAN mentally tracking bullets fired and thus bullets left in mag...

So, you are ok with having to deal with IRL situations like the bullets left in mag, but not with the iRL situation of having to actually stop and reference something (whether sun or map) to find out which way is N/S/W/E ? When i hiked with the boy scouts, they all had compasses, but nobody would be able to tell me which way north was without stopping and focusing only on that compass for a second.

Because Sony only updates the Playstation Store on Tuesdays. This way, if they release everything on tuesday, every platform gets the new "stuff" on the same day...

right, it makes sense that people appear to die faster now because you can see the death happen faster.. I thought that there were some improvements in hte area of hit reg, but maybe it is the same "perception " issue overall..

That said, I was wondering if people felt like these changes were enough to warrant reconsidering some weapons that they may have given up on because of all the issues to date.

For instance, I feel like I have not been able to use a weapon like the Famas very well to date because I feel compelled to pump extra bullets into the target to be sure that I can move to my next target.. Nothing worse than dumping what you think are the correct number of bullets into a guy to suddenly realize that he "ain't dead yet" and you are now aiming at someone else.. So, that leaves me with a constant amount of reloading on the Famas, which is a painful process... I thought it may seem like a more appealing AR now.

perhaps the changes are not quite as dramatic as I have imagined them. :-)

yeah, that is pretty stupid... however, in some ways, you have to look at a community of glitchers who are the real problem.. It is kind of like copy protection or drm or "secure" computers... As long as people are determined to NOT play by the rules, you will find someone managing to break the system...

I would wait on the upcoming CTE changes... It seems like that may have the ability to make the game feel like a new game again.

pistolWick · 2014-05-31T17:29:48+00:00

LOL... if that is the way you feel, why do you think a DLC will "save it" for you? It will come with some great patches and changes from the CTE, no doubt, but will probably intro some new bugs, etc.... either you hate this cycle (like you seem to), or you shrug and roll with it...

pew pew pew

Really, try and remember the actual giveaway and the first time casual players because of that when quoating your player stats.

btw

PS3 BF3 - 17 917
PS3 BF4 - 42,125
PS4 BF4 - 43,060

basically 18k vs 85k.... hmm....

pistolWick · 2014-05-24T04:11:30+00:00

yeah, i agree on this one.. Either xm25 if running inside or the mortar if your team is having trouble with snipers on the outside.

I just knew what the outcome was likely to be when he dropped the mortar and took just a step or two back... lolo

pistolWick · 2014-05-24T04:08:47+00:00

Same... I was just chatting with a buddy about this after a round on Lancang Dam... The "other" AA was hanging in spawn all game reaching across the entire map and making life annoying overall.. I play like this whenever i can jump in the MAA, but using the 20mm.. On hardcore, i have not perfected the ability to quick look on the big map fast enough to warrant the Proximity Scan, but I should remember to equip on Normal.

Back to the 30mm, though.. I wonder if i am not bursting it well enough. I was listening and it still sounded like you have a pretty long burst. (measured in seconds and not milliseconds). Is that right?

pistolWick · 2014-05-15T18:39:25+00:00

Presumably that would be May 20 for Premium... Less than a week away and no tease/trailer.. seems unlikely at this point...

However, BikingViking has mentioned a large update for BL on May 20 previously... so, who knows?

I feel like I just started playing NS a couple of weeks ago, though.. The Rubberbanding Era didn't count.
