    WWAUT - What To Bring To A Gunfight

    I know, right? The metallic laughter in particular was perfect.

    Tactics Odd tips

    About the crouching thing stopping you from falling off ledges: I think that works in all Unreal Engine games, except ones that specifically remove it. It's also fairly common in shooters in general, as it's a useful feature.

    Here's what they need to do...

    What the hell? They quadrupled the price? I always thought it was great how the 4-packs only cost $2, it really made you feel like you were getting your money's worth. For most packs I only liked 1-2 of the skins anyway (Foundry Worker Aldridge, Rev. Alberts, Kevo the Chav, Ash Harding...

    KF Move Steam Popup Messages to top right corner

    Slight tangent, but it's driving me nuts that Global Offensive's custom HUD features are so limited. I want my ammo counter next to my crosshair, as odd as that sounds.

    Idea for new class

    Berserker: Holds choke points. Support Specialist: Funnels zeds into groups, then uses penetration to wipe clusters of them. Firebug: Softens up vast amounts of zeds with burn damage, disables them by crisping them. Demolitions: Softens up (or obliterates) clusters of zeds with explosives. Keeps...

    Tactics Best loadout for helping others

    If you have the pack for it, try using the Blower Thrower. If you can convince the other players to leave the Bloats alone for at least a little bit, just one blast of alt fire will make a Fleshpound turn on a Bloat. This will make it piss-easy for a demo teammate to set up a grenade stack.

    Sorry Mr Zerker, Homie don't play that

    This, this, this, SO much damn this. Communication will make or break a team in any team-based game, co-op or competitive. You're only shackled to the Berserker's whims if you choose to stay where he goes. Your alternatives are, as you said, to let him die -- or you could just tell him where...

    Random comments about the some weapons.

    It would be great to see an achievement for it, given the already existing ones for having the whole team use Crossbows to defeat him, and defeating him with a LAW rocket.

    KF Possible next weapon?

    Unless the weapons design has gone truly pants-on-head retarded, that thing is a bipod, which supports the idea that this is a Commando or Sharpshooter weapon. Aw, lucky. All I can find is their homepage claiming they made every single weapon pack for the game, besides the gold ones. Gosh...

    That was beautiful. Such clean kills. What's with that edgy-looking testmap though?

    KF Late joiners

    If you were playing a Sharpshooter and a teammate spent the whole game intentionally blocking your view or using a flamethrower or grenades to intentionally hinder your vision, would you say that's just part of the game, and is something you should be expected to put up with, and that if you...

    Tactics Some Firebug Questions

    The best part is that the Blower Thrower's alt-fire only takes one blast to make the Fleshpound start attacking the nearest Bloat even though it shouldn't matter to him. Meanwhile, Scrakes and Husks take quite a bit of convincing to start attacking the Bloat.

    Gorefast is OP?

    Balance is a spectrum. Fair is one (or potentially several) points on that spectrum. Balanced might be considered synonymous with fair, but balance is a broader concept. For example: Making the rifle able to land OHKs on other players tipped the balance in snipers' favor. This. Thankfully...

    Tactics Some Firebug Questions

    They're not immune, but unless I've been horribly misled, they're so resistant to fire DoT that they might as well be immune to it. The straight damage from Firebug weapons, on the other hand, remains excellent. Taking down Fleshpounds with the Husk Launcher is very satisfying.

    Let's design a Perk and some weapons!

    Oh yeah, I think I tried a server once that was running some of these. I tried to play Engineer but had no idea how anything worked, and before I could figure anything out, a Brute came and tore me to pieces. How does Gunslinger work? What is the benefit of dual handguns on the Gunslinger as...

    Let's design a Perk and some weapons!

    Oh no, feel free to. But rather than say "that's stupid" and have that be the end of the thread, we keep things going to make something that isn't stupid. :) 10/10 it was okay -IGN I was just thinking, three perks whose primary attacks are melee attacks is exactly what we need.
