IMPOSSIBLE TO OUTPLAY PC FIRETEAM!!!

#61

Now imagine being able to do that consistently with a mouse - constantly hovering the pred with almost no recoil and hitscan weapons & how shitty that is for anyone within line of sight ever.

You learn the preds leap animation, you know the arc it’s going to be travelling in. Hell spotting allows you to see the pred through anything so even if he switches directions you can just adjust your aim. You consistently land hits because you don’t need to lead shots, because every single fireteam weapon is hitscan for some awful reason just point and shoot. Meanwhile predator has to lead headshots while people turn and strafe with their janky ass animations, not that he can outright outdamage FT in a straight trade as is. Because everyone is playing support.

People want ranked or a competitive mode but holy shit are scrims miserable already.
My honest, easiest, biggest fix at this point is a change to the gunplay. There needs to be bullet drop. It’s not something that really affects players at the lower end of play but it would really make a difference in experienced matches & stop people from landing ridiculous hits like nothing multiple times on moving targets 3000m away. The only people that could possibly bitch about increasing the skill ceiling like this don’t want to lose their EPIC 360 NOSCOPES.

That will only increase queue times and not most do it, I watch everyone who streams the game and I have a ton of friends in the community who like having the graphic quality higher even than medium because it makes for a more fun and engaging game.
Your assertion is false and your advice just contributes to inexperienced players

Turning off crossplay didn’t increase the waiting time on either side, nor did it lower the waiting time after activating it.
I mean , that’s what I see when I look the the numbers shown on screen.

That’s why you do testing before and after turning it off because the numbers will say less queue times every time as a whole not just the fringe queues

I did, nothing changed

#67

So you wrote down the queue times of every queue before and after you turned off the settings and then calculated the average?

#68

If he’s on console, no disabling crossplay doesn’t really affect their queue times. Large amount of the playerbase is on console.

Yea, I did it because I started to get bored of the game and actually wanted to see how much time of my life I’m wasting.

segregating the community will only hurt not help the game

Until Illfonic fixes the cheating in this game, all PS4 players should turn off crossplay if they want an enjoyable and fair match. But they don’t need me to tell them that, they’ll find out themselves.

I honestly don’t know why any console player would ever play with PC players, in any game. Ever. From the cheating, hacking and setting manipulation to just the pure toxicity, why even bother?

im starting to feel this thread. i have a hunter running impenetrable and a FT member was running a silenced rifle which would just melt me any time i got near at all.sounded like an automatic. i dont know if it was a macro or a particular set of perks but fuck was it unholy. ive havent really seen it since so how come no one else is running this?

another strange thing happened i netted a guy to a wall and tried to melee him, next thing you know he was not against the wall or netted and running away. no animation or anything.
I also got my mask blown off mid leap. perma spotted. was super rough. I’m not calling hacks, just saying if nothing suspicious was going on and it was just high level pc play im not sure what we are supposed to do. no chance of this game being balanced properly for both ps4 and pc then.

I think strafe speed for FT must be reduced, also add inertia time to prevent instastops or insta change direction when move left-right in strafe mode

It’s not even skill. I played PC for years. The problem is on PC you’ve got a mouse which is so easy to aim with. You also have better hardware so you aren’t slowing down well below 30 fps half the game.

I agree they should be balanced separately and crossplay abandoned. Then the devs could balance each version properly. For example the plasmacaster nerf. It makes sense if you’re on a mouse and keyboard but on ps4 you’ve just ruined the preds main ranged weapon and encouraged zerker rushers.
