NOOB: I pumped a full clip into your ass and you didn't die.
Individual probably has 300+ ping or isn't used to aiming with the weapons.
NOOB: I pumped my entire load into your face and you didn't die.
If two players do lethal damage to each other, the damage that registers first wins, leaving the other player on minimum life. For melee this is the person with the better ping, for guns its hit or miss, laggy person wins unless the person with the low ping can kill them faster than their ping eg >300ms or >200ms.
NOOB: I bich slapped you with the butt of my gun and you died instantly.
If they were on low life or stealth, it can kill in one hit. I've noticed when the actual server is laggy, melee seems to be more effective, which is really wack. You take double damage in stealth.
NOOB: I'm across the map and the shooter with a pistol shot me beween the eye. So far across the map, the kill cam didn't have enough time to scroll back and record the whole thing.
Either they are hacking or more likely the server is suffering from orbital lag, if they shoot you where you were you may die when you spawn or if the timing is right, and the server poling lag ends bullets sometimes shoot across the map for headshots. If it occurs when there is no poling lag, then its very dodgy. You can test for poling lag by:
1.) seeing people frozen in place that don't die, or people walking on the spot.
2.) can't reload your gun.
3.) Can't change fire mode of your gun. <--- most accurate.
NOOB: I'm cloaked from radar, hidden behind a wall, and hacker ONE pin points my location every time.
Blindspot three on? So if you are behind a wall with blindspot three, and you aren't moving at all, then shooting you through a wall is quite dodgy. If they are finding you hiding in the corner where everyone camps then thats a different story. it also depends on their perks, possibilities include tracker, stealth tracker, visor enhance (unless you have Blindspot 3 on), and covert ops if you move at all. However I won't deny the fact that there have been a few wall hackers on lately, like literally a few, i've seen 3 in three weeks. Cloaking itself does not hide you from radar, hide your footsteps, your shadow, or 100% hide your image and on its own doesn't hide you from nanovision.
NOOB: I am only equipped with this pea shooter that does nothing.
Scar is fairly awesome (about 3rd best), however for newer players you will probably really like feline (about 2nd best) and put an reflex sight on it. Stick with the nova for your side arm at first. FY71 is arguably 1st at the moment. If scar shoots too slowly for you, scarab is inbetween Scar and Feline for range and fire rate.
Starting perks if you are new: Nano Recharge (great once you get it to level 2), Stealth Enhance (great when you get it to level 3) and mobility enhance.
I love Nano recharge, but often find other perks more useful than stealth and mobility.
NOOB: Ohh wow, do you own a gun store?
If you hit escape during a match you can choose change equipment and change your load out between the preset and custom loadouts as you please it switches when you die. I've never actually used the preset load outs lol.
The game IS unbalanced and full of hackers. FALSE. Are there hackers, yes, are they everywhere, no.
Covert ops lets you hear where people are walking a lot easier
Nano vision lets you see stealth people
Visor enhance highlights people when you aim down scope
Radar well shows people during max radar or when people fire non silenced weapons.
Proximity alarm lets you know when someone is close.
Stealth tracker hightlights people and makes their going stealth have a noise.
Tracker shows their footsteps.
Stealth is not invisibility, you can see the blur from a mile away and if you are casting a shadow it makes it super easy to see. Have you noticed you die when you are in the sun a lot more than when you are in the darkness, thats because your stealth is that much easier to see.
I had extreme difficulty seeing stealth at first even with my experience in the past game, I could still see peoples shadows easily. At first I used stealth tracker for a while, but found it makes it harder to hit people. Eventually I got used to seeing the blur and firing at it, I usually burst fire to try and get a hit on them so I can see where they are or bring them out of stealth.
), watching what others did, not saying a word at all I slowly learnt.. evo (and a list of others with mad skills) taught/continue to teach me many a lesson in dying haha and others would offer advice, stalking the forums and checking out vids all helped and I can manage to scraqe together a reasonable game most of the time now.
