I'm an old guy who plays in the unranked pubs. I tried a headset a few years ago, but stopped using it because of the profane idiots and little kids. Playing without coms is close to a death sentence in this game, especially with all the hackers/cheaters. Where's a good place to find like-minded team members? I'm tired of doing this alone. Thanks!
Well, as I say, if gunplay is your thing then mixtape is the place. My game is centered around strategy, position, playing the clock, trying to control terms-of-engagement. All things that have little to no meaning in mixtape, at least not as I've experienced it. But I get why people like it.
Where we are in 100% agreement: "the ranked poi thing I just cannot get to grips with..." I hate it too. I never tire of asking people to explain why it is this way - why "competitive" players prefer it. And I have yet to hear a satisfactory answer. It's essentially a crutch for people who only care about gunplay, for whatever reasons still purport to like battle royale as a game type, and who hate being third partied. To me that makes them lazy players who can't be bothered to learn risk management and just prefer to have the developer deal with it for them. Why these people aren't playing team deathmatch is beyond me. Oh, right. Because it isn't ranked and if they don't have a rank to chase then they're not happy.
I didnt like it cause as a rando I was getting battered very soon after landing, no fun to be had.
Thank you, I didn't realize you could do zero building - I will definitely try it.
Thanks I'll give it a try.
I'm obviously on borrowed time, may as well get slaughtered by some 10-year-olds : )
While the 10 yo may have a reaction advantage, they have no appreciation of a tactical approach. Sometimes i hot drop to live train and improve my reaction speed and controller settings (on a laptop) . More normally i get kitted out then go hunting at a run.
Think that is the major difference from dropping in with 2 random team mates or with a pre made squad. Makes a huge difference in the ability to use comms and rotate and push as a team. I prefer ranked for the most part as even when playing with randoms you are less likely to get the Wraith straight to crate, disconnect when down thing in ranked.
My youngest is 10 my oldest is 26 this year, he was previously No1 pred on Xbox then switch to PC and played in ALGS, so my kids can definitely kick my a$$!
: )
Here (some time ago) I demonstrate my tactical prowess with baloons 😂
