    Mechanic should stay the same just get used to mouse and keyboard, once you get used to it the mouse is alot quicker to aquire a target.

    Maybe find a few non ranked servers to mess around in first.

    Log into Battlelog. Click 'Multiplayer', then 'Server browser'.
    Here is Craggy Island:

    jesus this is a lot harder to get the hang of than i thought, im getting crucified every game i play. does it get any easier? maybe its just the mouse and keyboard but i cant seem to aim at anyone, i end up spraying bullets everywhere


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,595 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Controlled bursts are better. It takes a bit of time to get used to the mouse, bear with it.
    TF2 would be a great game try too, it's much more forgiving.

    Press V with some guns to change rate of fire. And theres nothing wrong with shooting someone in the back.

    Pain in the ass you have to do it every single respawn.

    It gets easier over time, for the first few weeks ull find it really hard but jump on craggy island server and there ts and everyone there would be more than happy to help you.

    You can also rank up faster when ur new if u sit in tanks as a gunner

    that's all we need is you telling ppl to be a tank whore.

    Join Craggy , find Mick , Join his squad , plenty of medic's in that usually :D
    it will improve your survival rate. Once you unlock Fore grip for a few weapons it will help with the kills.

    we need someone with ammo and maybe an engineer to and we,d be good to go:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,516 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Seeing a lot of high pingers lately so we'll probably have to introduce a kicker for anyone over 200ms etc..
    We'll monitor for a while and see as the last thing we want is someone with a high ping impacting the server and other players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,516 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Annoying server message now disabled :D
    And not one person noticed :(


    Friday night games:
    Thinking of a few different rounds such as
    2x Shotgun only Seine Crossing + Grand Bazarr (too open for the USAS really)
    4 x Infantry only (various maps)

    Could also do a few rounds of rush with shotgun only to make it interesting.
    There's a procon plugin which blocks out weapons (well it kills the guy who kills with a banned weapon) so we could enable that :)

    Let us know what you think and whatever suggestions you can think of also:)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,516 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Good Friday Shotgun Massacre

    Will start off with a few rounds of Infantry only followed by some shotgun mayhem and some shotgun rush.

    Be warned that for shotgun mode people can spawn with other guns and kill with them..however they will also die...anyone found abusing it tonight gets kicked :)


    One question....USAS/MK3A1.....yay or nay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    Nay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    Only with slugs...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    Nay


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭jumbobreakfast


    nosahar canals is good for TDM shotguns only (running around the crates). tbh on that map it doesnt matter too much what shotgun you use as it's such a tight map.

    Definite nay. When we played shotgun-only before we always said no auto-shotguns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent
