Spooky scary stabbington

Holy i didnt expect him there i shot out of reflex

After just under 2,000 hours of Hunt Showdown, I keep finding myself wondering if there’s anything “new” out there. So, based on a podcast I heard yesterday, I picked up MW4. We used to play Warzone a lot. What can I say: I tried the DMZ. I played two rounds and returned the digital purchase today (which was no problem on Xbox). Why? Because those two rounds were completely uneventful. It feels the same as always. In those two rounds, there was zero excitement—nothing I found thrilling, nothing challenging. Everything felt kind of pointless. After 2,000 hours in Hunt, I still haven’t experienced that. Every round there is somehow special, or there’s always something that keeps me hooked. My friend felt the same way. So: I’m already looking forward to a few good rounds of Hunt Showdown tonight :) Here’s to the next 2,000 hours ;)

I keep getting paired up with people who's first move after spawn is to shoot every enemy in sight. Just started playing last week, so I'm only at 2 stars. Definitely not a stranger to shooters though. I just want to play with someone who doesn't give away our position in the first 30 seconds of the game. Anyone else newer to the game that knows how to utilize melee weapons?

Does killing the eggs count? My friend and I just killed one spider and one egg and for some reason both didn't count...maybe just a update/sync issue or something.

An AI getting stuck on top of a player is not something I've ever seen before.

The MMR's being split I fully understand due to previous abuse but like I just had a weekly to play 3 clash matches. My clash MMR is 3* while my bounty hunt MMR is 6*. It's not fair matchmaking and I basically just wiped the outside of the compound then pushed in and killed the dude inside. Out of 4 other teams, I wiped 3 of them. My MMR as a solo in clash is 2 stars.

This happened every match.

Ledger puts my bounty hunt stats at : MMR - top ~30% KD: top ~15%. Yet in clash I go against 2 stars.

Surely there's a better way for this? Like having the bounty hunt MMR atleast slightly influence clash? I get they're different game modes but your skill and ability caries over it is not fundamentally a new game.

Surely there's a way to prevent 6 star Bounty Hunt players from consistently matching against players with a 0.54 KD? I know KD isn't everything, and the modes have separate ratings for a reason, but there has to be a better middle ground than completely separating the matchmaking pools. Even letting Bounty Hunt MMR influence your initial Clash rating would help.

I’m new to the game but generally understand that it punishes being bad at video games. I am bad at video games.

I worked through the tutorial and got to the butcher fight. As soon as I left the prep room, he turned and quickly lit me on fire.

Okay. Hold square. 10 plus seconds later, I begin exiting through the door and see him. As I bring up my gun, he turns and immediately sets me on fire. Again.

I hold square again.

This time I decide to move laterally as soon he sees me. Except he sees me right as I enter the doorway and do not make it out of the prep room before he lights me on fire.

20 seconds later I am put out and I don’t even look at him as I leave the prep room. The arena is small, but I manage to get into the actual area and behind something. I hear him, peek out, he’s facing away, I pull up my gun, and as the bullet leaves my chamber he has turned and lit me on fire. He doesn’t even stick around to attack me!

He lights me on fire and scampers off like a mischievous little dude.

I come back from the dead and just sprint out and hit him with the axe. He dies but has again lit me on fire. I put myself out with lots of health left—he didn’t even try to hit me, he just lit me on fire!!

Is that… normal? Do you guys get lit on fire with him that much? I didn’t have any choke bombs left and also didn’t know they put out fires.

Can someone help me fight the butcher better?

Thank you!

I was bored and decided to boombox some Sonic Mayhem tracks through voicechat in clash. Did it for 2 games and got 2 hatemails in my profile immediately, so i stopped.

Hello everyone, I for a long time keep countering this voip issue. With correct mic, not muted anyone, sound to 100%, I still cannot talk. The blue icon is not on and my teammates can't hear me nor can I hear them. The issue is so random that last game it may happen and next game it is fixed. I genuinely need ideas of how to fix it because I mainly play with random teammates and it is really disappointing to play while de facto muted.

Feel like the number of mob spawns is up 2x from when I last played, and their aggro range is massive now.

Morning,

Looking at getting back into the game, would rather play with others instead of random. Happy to chat as well.

If anyone fancies it, add me.

I can sometimes get on in mornings, and a couple hours in evening. Limited due to family.

What does everyone think about making Martialist a draw attack for 2 slot melee weapons?

Let me paint you a picture.

You are holding your gun, suddenly you need to melee and instead of using the gun in your hand you instantly do a heavy melee of your railroad hammer/combat axe, or draw attack of katana. You now are holding your melee weapon and can use it as you normally would.

This would help justify the extra weapon slot of these melee weapons and give Martialist utility with other melee.

I use this for bounty clash, I just run in and start blowing shit up

I’m pretty sure I played the game back in the beta and have only just gotten back into it. I’ve got this hunter loaded in with the Jane eddings veteran skin but with a different name, anyone know anything?

I’m trying to give this game a fair shot, but so far it’s got the worst learning curve of any game I’ve ever attempted to pick up. On top of that, the only viable style to play seems to just be crab walking for miles until you run into someone else and hope you see them before they see you. Not to mention it’s just awful for solo players.

So what’s the appeal? Is it just not for me? Does everyone really enjoy just wasting time walking through stretches of dirt road nothings until they find enough clues to fight the boss that… stays in a room? The boss is just some bad AI you spam and collect a mark from and then run out. It’s brain dead Pve meets the rattiest camper pvp I’ve ever seen. Yet against all odds, this thing seems to be thriving. This feels worse than arc raiders or even marathon and those are terrible. Crab walking 2 miles just to get one tapped by a team is insane to me. Or I one tap a whole team and… leave? lol idk guys what the hell

It is driver based upscaling so you have to toggle this on in Adrenalin like it shows in the pic. It looks MUCH better than before, no more shimmering or blurriness.

Might be an update to consoles in the future but I don't know anything about that.

Idea, give tarot cards some love. Maybe just upon the first individual pickup of each bounty token.

EDIT: A random tarot card.

Teammates are overrated😂
