In addition to the previous MattScott post linked in this thread, he's also gone on record multiple times that deleting/replacing the sounds folder is acceptable. This exception was made due to the very issue that iMiss brought up, and like the advanced launcher is only intended as a temporary thing while they work on implementing an ingame toggle for themes.

This. They need to revert that ridiculous recoil change that was made to it. Unique does not always equate to being good or fun.

Solamente hit the nail on the head, big animation upgrades like in the OP won't happen until after the engine upgrade. They've already done a few minor tweaks though. One of the big ones I noticed was that they fixed the standing idle pose for the basic ATAC. The crouching idle is still incorrect, but if memory serves the idle doesn't even exist at all so would need to be created anyways.

Don't just stand in front of a door like a derp? Also, the damage is being reduced by 30% (or 60%, depending on the angle the bullet takes through the door).

The threat system works (mostly) fine. The issue is that Little Orbit is refusing to moderate their game. From square one when Little Orbit took over, MattScott outright stated that they wouldn't be taking action against dethreating until after all the various "fixes" they have planned are implemented (engine upgrade, new hidden threat system, district phasing, etc).

Almost assuredly. Would be interesting to see it tested in the test districts though, even if nothing ultimately comes of it.

CAP40 is almost perfectly balanced as is. Over the years I've used both extensively, and I've always found the CAP40 to be significantly more consistent in its performance. It's why I'll always prefer it to the OCA, and will always wish it had the third mod slot.

Incorrect. Zone control is an act of making any given area ("zone") no longer attractive for an opposing entity or force to enter. This can range from a full 360 degree horizontal plane being covered from a rooftop with a sniper rifle, to something as simple as a hallway that you're holding from one side with a light machine gun. Zone control is one part of the overall whole of a mission strategy. Defending your team as a support is another. Defending the objective is yet another. You do not just slap these things together and consider them the same thing, that's a surefire way to create weak strategy.

If you don't even comprehend what zone control is, it's pointless to continue this line of discussion further.

Reading is hard?

If someone is walking up to you while you're taking shots at someone, you're dead regardless barring a fluke. Irrelevant. If someone is walking up to your team or the objective, that's on your team to take care of. Your purpose as a sniper is to zone control, not carry. Also, again, none of this is an issue if you're not sitting in continuous marksmanship mode.

So what you're telling me is that you sit in continuous marksman mode while shooting at range, instead of only entering it when going for a kill. Gotcha.

I regularly use it for anything 50m+ with no issues. You know, sniper ranges.

Hunting Sight 2. Brings it to pixel perfect accuracy, and increases zoom for those render distance shots. Extended magazine only affects the weapon's anti-vehicle ability, which is already crazy good baseline so kinda overkill.

Agreed. It can't directly compete with other assault rifles in a straight fight, but it makes up for it with exceptional utility.

Don't underestimate the strength of higher zoom. When used on a sniper rifle, the downsides are basically irrelevant as well.

I have backup names, so I'd ultimately just switch to one of them. It'd still suck to lose my current one though. Course, I'm also not worried. My name is unusual enough that it's highly unlikely someone else has it. There's also the part where my account is ancient, so would take priority over just about everyone else regardless. It's actually quite normal.

Yea, no. I use HMS all the time when sniping, it's incredibly useful in many locations (and especially in Waterfront, in those rare times I'm forced out there).

It'd be nice if he'd post info via primary and official channels, instead of keeping it all on an unofficial Discord that can only be accessed if you happen to know someone already on it because it isn't linked anywhere.

Then you wait a month or longer, for something that takes a few seconds to check.

Literally all they have to do is give both sides a VIP and lives.

They won't give us numbers, because they expect us to figure it out ourselves and somehow test properly that way.

Considering the FFA comes from the same JMB (more specifically, the Power JMB variant) as a drop even more rare than the Bullshark itself, it should have access to the legendary skin in its skin list.

That because organizations like the ESRB and PEGI aren't actually government agencies. They're just corporate entities that were originally created by the publishers of the very games they put their ratings on to provide an excuse for the government to not have to regulate the industry. It's a long known fact that these ratings boards are on publisher payroll, and put whatever rating the publishers want them to put on the games they release. In most cases they don't bother, but in cases like NBA2k20 they very much flex that money to force a rating that won't get in the way of sales.

Safe to assume these tweaks and additions would be retroactively distributed to those who already have purchased the bundle?
