Game has been my latest addiction. Won once in squad. Final 4 twice solo, but struggling to do better. I'm terrible at the sniper game, either I fail to obtain a 4x scope or I get ambushed and killed before I even see the other guy. My most successful games are due to finding a good spot in the center of the safe area and listening carefully. Sometimes even that doesn't work, like a guy will walk into the house I am hiding in and I unload on him and he still survives to turn around and kill me. Nothing can be done there though, I guess. I need to study the weapons a bit and get a better grasp as to what is good where. I thought a UMP uzi was decent but it seemed like i could unload my entire clip on someone without killing them, which is annoying. M16 is pretty much my go-to weapon if I can find one, seems to have a good balance of power and range.
Pet peeves: certain things block bullet which should have no business blocking bullets, such as staircase railings and fences. Turning off graphic settings makes it easier to see enemies, WTF? That should be equalized somehow.
It also seems like the "wilderness" parts of the map are way too open. I walk around a park in VA and you can't see people 100 feet away because of the trees, but it seems like even in the most rural areas of the map trees are sparse and don't really block line of sight much at all, so you can easily see people 1000 feet away. The game artificially inflates the power of snipers by not giving enough cover to walk through.
BTW, I suggest against turning off in-game voice comms in duo or squad games. One game of duo queue two players I was fighting where using the in-game communication and since I was close enough I could hear every word, so I knew when they were looking for me or when they decided to move on. Most players won't do that, but some will, don't give up a potential huge advantage. I just turn my sound off until I jump from the plane and avoid the stupid early game chatter.
