Shooting range and the game itself feels different in terms of gunplay, and its driving me bonkers.
Seriously. Why am i having these sub-second delays during the gameplay? Guns literally feel like projectiles instead of hit-scans, if i aim to the spot where i assume they are in their clientside, i somehow get the kill. Why are the servers...

The map repositionning 2 seconds after you die is one of the most frustrating things
Everytime I die, I try to give info as quick as possible for my team. So just after I get shot, I try to ping the enemy positions on the map. But between the moment when the camera is on your corpse right after you die and the moment when y...

Why is spraying so random in this game?
Basically title. Before reading this, please keep in mind I'm not hating on the game. Quite the opposite I like it, and I want to play this over CS:GO, but I can't, because gunplay frustrates me and I feel like it will never hold a candle t...

So I’ve been watching a lot of pros and pro play to compare their movement to mine and see what they’re doing so I can improve (I really want to get out of iron) and I realized that they don’t really clear sites they just run in and if they...

Kinda wish we had "defuse the spike" simulators but for the actual sites on the maps.
Best thing we could hope for would be retake servers like in CS, but having bots in custom games for the actual maps would be way more practical than what we have in the training range. As of now, all we have is people getting creative with...
