"BEHRs advantage is you can kill 4-5 people in one clip if you're in tight quarters and you use it well, BEAR can kill 2-3 people much faster, but if there's any more than that you are fucked." Was replying to this
Security just relies on his ping to make sure no-one can hit him, and by this point, he's fairly adept at making sure he can hit. Given I now have a similar ping, I must learn his ping-fu.
Wait what, there are particle packs that allow me to see through those incredibly annoying mortar explosions? Do want!
fn once made one (or someone else idk?!) when empty released his first particles bc his frames where so bad. everyone then installed them bc "they dont obstruct your vision so much". dunno if they still work - but at least something similar should since its still sv_pure 0 or people couldnt use their cheats custom content anymore and the servers would need 10seconds longer to boot
Back on the mod version, it would have been 5-6 minutes longer to boot, and probably lowered performance. But now we're on Steam, Pure is pretty easy to use, and I know that I always stick Pure 2 on in scrims, although I heard rumours that it makes absolutely no difference and people still used custom stuff, but I'm yet to test that out given that all custom content except particles and the occasional HL2 file doesn't override properly, and thus can't be used unless you have the mod version. Which also reminds me, I don't know how joining a pure 2 server with the mod version of Empires works.
trololololol. Trickster I know you are trolling, that's my Trickster. But still I have to clarify. Fighting with a 50 ping and a 250 ping dude has always been practically the same to me, I didn't notice much difference. Ping isn't behind the bad hit reg. Sometimes I shoot at a 50 ping dude, blood and no damage. There are some drawbacks with my ping, but I don't have time with ya. Now that you have it anyway, enjoy. I am pretty sure your pewpew level, as well as some other skill level will drop due to ping issue.
My ping varies week by week. 2 weeks ago, it was 155 to EPIC, 230 to VIPER, 200 to custom factor (Australian). Then I had about 2 weeks of 310 to EPIC, 400 to VIPER, and still 200 to custom factor. And just as I got home today, it's back to what it was before. It's alright if you get used to the ping but when it moves around, it makes life a bit more difficult. Either way, everyone knows you can use high ping to your advantage, especially if you know how to mess with your rates, RIGHT SECURITY?
Trickster thinks he has rifle skills, ololololololo. Exchange HMG with fucking grenade launchers or some shit so rifleman isn't only "KILL INFANTDERPS U NUB!$!". Right mouse = Explosive/Sticky, I am so amd today.
I had a long break of rifleman, I chose rifleman, I killed megaman while he was camping with his HMG, I felt my rifleman skills coming back. Trust me, megaman is the cure.
Tbh, I don't know how to use the mechanism. But I know there's such mechanism because I noticed the "bad hit reg" shit happens on "specific player" much more than all other players, his ping wasn't 500 btw. If you know about it, use it if you want. Even that "specific player" with his great rifle skill and the aid of that mechanism, he didn't get to rape me either. (hint? :D) You? lol.
I think server prediction is behind it. Also I'm pretty sure (without looking at emp source) blood etc is handled locally whilst the hit detection is done on the server. Because of differences in of time of game between clients and the server it has to keep predicting position of players back in time and this sometimes goes wrong. Having higher server tickrate can help, but that taxes the server way too much. Also turning off server prediction will most likely introduce a shitload of bugs.
In the recent PUG I played with the BEAR in north of Coast picking off dem gren's like nobodys bidness.
