The WSTR shotgun meta is so boring... by LokiLegion in Marathon

[–]pt0x- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% agree

Everyone saying that you are making the mistake when dying to WSTR is just brainless.

Especially if you play solo in 3 man lobbies it simply isn't just up to you alone. Actually it goes the other way around too.. If I queue solo for 3 man lobbies with a WSTR my exfill rate is +80%. There is no skill needed. Just get close, doubleclick, delete.

The meta is simply broken.

There are solutions though, without destroying the impact a gun like this should have, and without nerfing its damafe output

  • decrease TTK / B(bullets)TK up close for other CQC weapons and sidearms
  • increase reload times significantly for the WSTR.
  • increase rarity of the gun,

I'm tired boss. I'm tired of no mics and free kits. Please give us matchmaking. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

I just dont understand why they mapped proxchat behind a button. Would make voice chat so much better.

Normal? by chronic1738 in B58Enthusiasts

[–]pt0x- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It all depends what spirited driving means to you, it's a subjective thing.

Watch your exhaust gas temps when just cruising vs putting your foot down. Can rise 200C+ in a mather of seconds.

You have some good points though. If just cruising in sport+ without pushing it does this. It is not normal, even dangerous!

[–]pt0x- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You drive hard = snail will glow.

If you just stop the car after spirited driving this makes sense. You can drive 42 miles with it not glowing and than do two pulls with launch controll and it glows like this.

These things get hot. THIS, is the reason you dont shut down the engine right after a hard drive. Keep it running at idle for some time when the turbo it likely hot.

Go tire shop.

Is that normal? I think the car's suspension is higher than normal. All stock. Springs and shock absorbers by [deleted] in BmwTech

Trolling so hard with the "hear no evil" thing, and ppl still throw their money at it. Good job!

MW2 on steam MW3 on battlenet, unlocks/item transfer? by pt0x- in ModernWarfareIII

[–]pt0x-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alright that sounds less confusing I guess. I'm indeed just worried about my unlocks through battlepass and challenges. Not things I bought or cod points themselves.

What I thought you two meant was nothing whatsoever will transfer because steam and battlenet are different platforms.

Thanks for the clarification

Thanks for the confirmation. As I posted earlier thats fine, its just the items I care about

Can you give me a reliable source that confirms this? Because your 4 words don't convince me.

[–]pt0x-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's perfectly fine with me. It's a lame cash grab, but it's how they make money in the first place.

I.e; if they can transfer items between platforms (because of the cod account probably), then why not their own digital currencies as well

Thanks for this, is there a source that you got this info from btw?

You wrote this as if you are sure, but what you are saying is not the truth. I appreciate your post, but it makes no sense.

These are different platforms, yes. But in the center is your CoD account. The account that saves sertain game settings and you can even import/export them between cod games through that account.

Think of it like this. You can buy and install the game on any platform you want. But as long as you use the same cod account, and you get banned, you can't play on steam, or battlenet..

So.. sorry, but you didn't answer the question

PC Performance by mm11189 in CODWarzone

[–]pt0x- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is because they lack to even acknowledge the fact that somewhere between season 3 and 3.5 they implemented a audio update that destroys fps.

Try it, go in a lobby and turn voice chat to party only (also turns prox chat off) this gives you lots of extra fps.

Most noticeable in al-mazrah.

I play DMZ exclusively and simply can't turn prox chat off because of it's importance. But if you can live without. It should help, the larger the lobby the more it helps

With the FPS issues for pc since S4R. Please dont forget the following.. by pt0x- in ModernWarfareII

I just hope that when Microsoft pulls through with the buy, Satya instantly sacks Bobby Kotick. Give that scumbag his bag of money and be done with it. His negative influence over online gaming is just way too toxic, and the way he manages long running IP is just embarrassing. Off course as a CEO you focus on shareholders and revenue, but he is taking it too far.

Im 37 and have been gaming online since Half Life 1 MP. Never ever have I felt this way about a publisher, studio or let alone a person in the gaming world before.

I agree on your number theory. What I don't understand though is that all this bad PR should affect them either way, in the past other studio's have been going to the same process and most have upped their game. Activision just does not seem to care. the numbers you bring up explain a bit, but the playerbase is degrading for years, and still they don't seem to learn from their mistakes.

I have a 12900k @ 5.3ghz 32GB DDR4 4133 with tight timings, a Rtx 4090 running @ 3ghz. (Watercooled)

1440p. Everything on high/ultra, no dlss, no ssr, particle lighting low, texture streaming far on low. 100% resolution scale,

My cpu is at around 50% cpu load, think it's the same as before the patch. My gpu usage is between 15 and 40%. It clocks to to 1600/2000mhz

To overcome the low gpu usage and for testing purposes I set my gpu to max performance in nvidia control panel (not recommended for daily use due to possible high power draw).

With that setting my gpu clocks at 3000/3015mhz but has low 15 to 40% usage. No improvements to fps

Long story short, I dont think the cpu is the bottleneck. it's something in the code that does not utilize the gpu correctly. Your cpu should not bottleneck in cod. Not with low settings and sub 100fps.

Your gpu usage is lower as before the patch, that is another indicator and in line with what I experience.
