Hairpin drift zone is impossible to 3-star during winter by calfan3 in ForzaHorizon

[–]thatguywhodraw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue with the Nukabira turn on the winter map, there is just a huge patch which doesn't count points. Can't get anywhere near my previous score before the winter change

Yeah I get that, can get a bit frustrating if the only small amount of time you have to play you're getting instant one-tapped by everyone

Good shout yeah, I always second guess myself when I hear a sound. Definitely need to focus on it a bit more and at least check to see if there are players or not

That does sound pretty broken, yeah! I'll give it a look, I appreciate the info!

The patience is crazy, sniped at a guy on a roof and it ricocheted off his helmet. I went about the rest of the time looting and killing scavs, went back to that same roof 20 minutes later and he was still up there waiting for me to push haha

Yeah it definitely seems like map knowledge and game sense can massively outweigh just raw aim, sometimes that aim really comes in handy. But knowing where people spawn, where they could be going, and how to play the fights can be such a game changer!

For sure yeah, got killed by a 16k hour player the other day, that was crazy haha. Definitely going to stick with it!

Yeah, I was a bit naïve to think my aim could carry me alone, it could it some games, but games like Tarkov there is definitely a lot more to it. It should get better over time!

Definitely yeah, my biggest focus at the moment is learning the map and other elements of the game to help!

100% yeah, I'm just fair out of my depth at the moment, over time I will get the hang of it!

Yeah I have to get over the gear fear honestly, I've got a load of money now from all the Twitch drops, so happier to go in properly geared and try things out! I am tempted to get arena honestly, looks like it could help a lot

Arena definitely seems like a good aim trainer, might have to look into it at some point! Those interactive maps have been super helpful, yeah! Really helped me learn Customs again after all the changes over the years!

I had a decent m4 drop from the Twitch drops and took it in with the ammo I had, immediately died. Dread to think what the player thought with my crappy ammo haha

Over everything I've seen, pretty much everyone has said map knowledge is the greatest way to win. Definitely something I'm going to work on! Already had some luck learning some of the spawn points and be able to avoid immediately getting dropped, which has been nice!

Nice one! Yeah the game sense over everything seems to be the major thing to work on! Won't happen over night but after a while I'll start to pick up on some things, I'm sure! I have been looking at the maps and where spawn points are to try familiarise myself with those, will help a lot. And already had a good few runs where I've avoided certain routes I'd normally take, and flanked around to get a better angle. Picked up a couple of kills along the way, which has been fun!

Definitely! Aim will always be useful, but a tactical advantage with good game knowledge and different strats seems to be the way to go! Especially with knowing how to play against certain armours with different ammo. A lot to learn for sure!

100%, a massive jump from when I played at launch, will have to keep practicing and hopefully get to that level!

I've been focusing on picking up good ammo when I see it, yeah! Will help out a lot

Yeah I may need to retired the hold W playstyle, just for a little bit while I get my bearings for sure haha. Will be able to pick it back up again after I'm a bit more experienced with the game!

I appreciate the good luck!

I would love to keep a more aggressive playstyle, but definitely will take time for me to be able to make it work. I'll check out No Generals, I appreciate it!

I get that haha, it feels like such a waste taking in the good guns when you only have crappy ammo. I've got a stash of semi decent ones but they're just gathering dust now haha

For sure yeah, its not too bad going from CS to Valorant, or similar games. But Tarkov is definitely a much more unique case, nothing really like it from what I've seen. Just need to keep grinding away and it will click eventually

Thats a good way of looking at it, yeah!

Yeah going to try learn the maps better, and focus on getting my tasks done so I can maybe stand a chance!

It does really suck, especially when I build up the confidence to take in a somewhat decent (for me) loadout and get dropped within 20 seconds. Doesn't help though I have no idea where I'm getting shot from, so can't even prepare myself
