This would work, but infiltrators need something to do that isn't kill mans, and there isn't anything to do except kill mans. There's no doors. There's no bridges. There's no critical passageways that can be unlocked to flank from. There's no base generator that disables all the turrets and terminals when it's taken out. There's no resources to steal.

I apparently can't edit anything because the file is encrypted. Not for mans anyway. I could try giving ESFs massive hitboxes and become pro decimemer. I haven't played this game for a few years, and I thought it would be fun to fuck around with hitboxes and do dumb shit for a few hours, but it looks like wrel ruined that.

Wonderful.

Just remember to disable battle-eye. Last I remember, it was really simple to do. That is assuming, that you want to play for awhile. If you're happy to just shoot mans for a few days before ban, then don't bother.

You can still hitbox tamper. This is from ~2 months ago.

VS have smaller hitboxes and are designed to be harder to spot.

Do the complete opposite. Being aggressive gets you into more situations where you get killed. Just take things slow.

>>167442073

>>167443063
>>167443065
Okay I seriously want to talk about this again, because I'm STILL not fucking satisfied with my sensitivity and it's driving me crazy, and I feel like I can't find a good sens where I don't overaim and underaim.

Does high sensitivity hinder you on Planetside 2 if you play infantry? Is it like CSGO in that regard?

just got kicked from memerald, anyone else?

>>167443594
High enough hip sensitivity to be able to react quickly, slow enough ads sensitivity to track 0.75 shuffling russians

I use 0.15 and 0.2 at 800 dpi, works for me. Use whatever works for you.

>>167442073
Time I guess, I'm doing 1.8-3kdr pretty consistently after just a week of slight adjustments and playing a bit more.

The hardest part I find is finding fights worth a damn as a lot of fights it's either impossible to find targets or you are the target and being farmed.

>>167444318
Yesss.
Fights are also a massive fucking issue I have. I can't tell when a battle is worth fighting or not.

>>167444318
>>167444439
There's simply no way of knowing. Just keep fighting until you can't get out of the spawn room. I don't redeploy until I absolutely have to.

>>167444439
>Fights are also a massive fucking issue I have. I can't tell when a battle is worth fighting or not.
I started pretty consistently just stopping and observing the map after a death if things don't feel right and it's helped. Looking at sundie position, pops, and fights in the general area will usually give you a good indicator of how shit is going to go down. A lot of people will call me a shitter for this but I almost always go infil when I first enter a fight to observe where the choke points and resistance are which has helped a fuck load.

>>167442901
>What are some ways to position better?

Depends on what you're doing.

When I'm playing medic I'm almost never in the vanguard, always following other guys, usually heavies, and either helping them kill targets, or picking asses back up off the floor. With a heavy, if I'm using the gauss I'll usually stick to a more fire support role. If I've got a shotgun or smug I'll go into buildings and rooms first.

It's a whole lot of 'it depends'.

>>167443063
Aggressive is good, passive is bad. Passive lets the other guy get the drop on you and run circles around you. The problem is that too many people are overly aggressive, you have to ride that line where your aggressiveness and skill level are equal. You don't want to be more aggressive than you can chew. (although sometimes a little derring-do works out wonderfully)

fuck this fucking game. holy fuck i just wanted to play a little of this shit before i had to go pull a 13 hour shift but i guess that's just too much to ask for.

>>167443594
If I'm remembering your original post correctly, you said you've been playing for 2 months. I'm in a similar boat (just under 2 months) and can eek out a KD around 3 if I play careful. For me the biggest thing dropping this is close chains of stupid deaths because I don't identify when a hex really isn't in my favor anymore (not that this is always a bad thing. I like going to 25/75 biolabs provided its 12-24 and under) or when a fight gets too big and I can't deal with all the infilshitters.
Using 50cm/360 on 800 DPI. I find aiming better only goes so far. To me, in any FPS, especially ones with lower TTK, it's important to stack as many advantages as you can. Appropriate range for your weapon, full hp/shields, defensive position, cover, etc etc. Most of this boils down to positioning and awareness. It seems to me a lot of that is going to rely on experience with the various bases and who/what exactly you're fighting against.

I've checked stats of players who trump me a lot of the time and most of them hover around ~1000 IVI. Something like 33% accuracy, 30% HSR or some shit like that. This game has been around for a while and a lot of the smurfs and vets have been playing it for a long ass time. Every player who seems to stomp shit has a high KPM, and a KDR in the 3-7 range.

>>167444867
If all of this is about improving your KD then just pull an AI ESF or something.

>>167444986
Well yeah that's what I meant, don't go over your head thinking you can take on a room full of guys.

One thing I don't see here is learning to adapt. You could be fucked and have absolutely no good position for HA which is common in a lot of the walled off bases where you have to charge through a choke but great position for LA to just fucking wreck shit. I've actually recognized these situations, ran back to my sundy, pulled LA (which I suck at because I can't use the Trac for shit) and massacred loads of dudes on the other side a few times now.

I don't like battle hardened; if you are in a 1vs1 mlg circlejerk where it matters, you already fucked up. If it's vehicles, just move away/be annoyed.

I've been dabbling in a bunch of implants, and counter-intel might be the best. I used to use sensor shield 4, but you don't get any feedback on whether you're showing up on radar or not, so it's difficult to see whether it ever helped you.

Counter intel on the other hand lets you know when you're spotted and for how long. That might as well be doing the same thing as sensor shield, but with actual feedback. It lets me adapt and respond. If I'm ambling around or standing still and I get spotted, I immediately know I need to take cover. It's great, already saved me a few times and I've only been using it a day.

I watched him, as a medic, throw a frag grenade at some dead (and living) friendlies while yelling over squad that he was throwing a revive grenade.

I have seen the face and heard the voice of >t. 0.2 kdr and it isn't pretty.

>>167448993
It's a crop job, not actual widescreen special edition

Although I saw a guy with one of those ultra fancy LGBTWQQUHD 3.5 foot curved for her pleasure monitors playing planetside: widescreen special edition before. Kind of jealous, I just have a dinky 24 incher.

Can the enemy hear you when you shout into proxy voice?

Nope. Not for 2 months. I've been playing since 2014. If I try as hard as I can, then I can get a KD of 2.5 a session, but if I am just playing naturally I'll usually go on from 1.3-1.7 or so. Recently I've been sometimes hitting a 2 but then I start tilting and dying alot and getting cocky.

Why would you play any other faction than Vanu? They are objectively the best faction, have the best designs and best weapons.

>>167451102

>>167455886
It gives you a rough idea of how good a player is. Someone who can kill 15 people a life every single fucking life (which really means 20+ due to most deaths being bullshit anyways) is obviously a way better player than someone who can average 1-2 enemies. From both a tactical and strategic look KDR is worthless and context would help but at the end of the day it's the best metric for player skill.

Their is of course a problem with how players being aware of that seek to maximize their kdr through parasitic means but that's unavoidable.

Is anyone else having connection issues with Connery or is it just me?

>>167458749
But you are constantly outnumbered in this game. Noone can kill 15 people in such situations. You either can just pla safe and try to kill something from the spawn room or whatever, or you actually try to change the battle by hitting your head against the wall.

>>167459314
The latter actually being more effective, but much worse for the kdr.

>>167459314

I just can't handle the TRAC-5, it feels so shitty to me. Is there a carbine that handles more like a straight up recoiling LMG? The TRAC-5 burst felt okay in VR should I just say fuck it and go for that instead and hope it helps me click heads better? I've invested more by far into the LA than any other class (since it requires a shit load of certs to do anything) but almost never play it because of how much I hate the way the TRAC-5 feels.

The jag looks okay with it's mostly upwards recoil but the Lynx does look like it's a lot of fun.

>>167459314
Changing the battle requires putting pressure where it's needed.

A good sunderer placement, cracking a building with a max, encouraging a max crash, getting an ESF to slow down an infantry push, tossing c4 out a window into a group of guys about to storm the building, blowing up a sunderer, etc. etc.

You won't do dick all but pad kdr if you're just playing le ebin heavy salt w/betelgun.

Ironically, the players who are actually doing the former are called shitters by the latter.

>>167459595
>Ironically, the players who are actually doing the former are called shitters by the latter.
Not true at all. Strategic use of options is what will get you called good and is by far the best way to get a high kdr. My best runs happen when I play well as in pulling the right class at the right time or using vehicles as the situation calls for. You get called a shitter if you pretty much only play 1 specific thing.

Even when I was a sub 1 ivi kdr shitter my super 2/2 prowler still got me a 15 kdr average which is why people usually look at ivi kdr.

Is there no way to turn off that "feature" that automatically selects a sundy close to your squad? I just wanna join squads for membership XP bonus but deploying at a sundy that is 60m away (its actually half way across the fucking continent) is infuriating.

>>167459595
You are often so outnumbered though that you can>>>'t do much pressure. You can try to do it, but you will most likely just smash your head against a wall.

People who care for kdr just tend to play it safe there, and dont do much pressure. But people who actually care about WINNING still try to do something there.

That's why kdr doesn't say much, because you very often are outnumbered and just spamming infantry is much more effective there, than camping at a spot hoping to kill something.

>>167456924
Or you could aim better and pull an ESF and shoot down the lolpod fags

>>167460664
>pull ESF
>fly towards enemy
>oh wait they have 20 esfs 8 daltons and 4 galaxies
>shredded instantly
WOAH

I'm not bitching that there was a little air, I'm bitching about not being able to see the fucking sky.

I figured out the ultimate infantry tactic!
Use the Solstice SF with the smoke underbarrel launcher as an Engineer, and attach the HS/NV optics on it. This way you can look through the smoke, and shoot most enemies while they can't see you.

If a whole squad would use these optics and had an engineer who shoots these smoke launchers, the squad would be basically unstoppable.

>>167461303
tried it, doesn't work

1. people can spot through smoke and see you regardless
2. it takes WAY too long to sight in through the IR/NV scopes
3. pain in the ass to keep smoke going because it disappears so fucking quickly
4. tryhard faggots all have their graphics set so the smoke doesn't even render for them

That's not to say smoke isn't completely useless, but the best time to use it is breaching a building/point room.

There really ought to be smoke grenades so everyone can smoke if they want.

>>167461578
You will still suprise most people with it though.
You just of course shoot only 1 person per smoke grenade, and then hide again.

It also would be best to use a counter-intelligence implant to see if you have been spotted or not.

>>167461846
Actually a good idea with the implant

>>167451036
>>167452190
Alright, I got some footage here of me playing like I normally do. Would appreciate some guidance on how to position better and not be a retard in general.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQyjHoOXumg
Some of the clips are shit but all the fights I went into tonight weren't that great.

>>167462417
Your reflexes are a little slow
You don't change position often enough to keep people guessing where you'll be - you're too predictable. Once you had a nice 'farming spot' you never moved from it.
You overexpose yourself, especially when jumping on the railings for a better shot
You don't make any attempts to flank and catch people off guard

When you dropped from the ESF you should've landed on top of the building overlooking the point, not directly on the point while the enemy is busy flipping it.

>>167463276
With the ESF drop, I was planning on leaving to Amerish as soon as possible since it was only 20 seconds away from me being first in queue, so I didn't really put much effort into it.

But anyways, thanks for the help. I'll keep working on my overexposing and flanks.

I'm not too sure how to work on my reflexes though. Other than just going into VR and trying to go insane on the bots? But they all stand still. I still think I want to kind of turn my sens up a lot.

>log on to farm some certs
>3 continents open
>20 players each
>not a single fight that isn't 80/20
>7 certs in 30 minutes
Yeah okay.

>>167463645
Make it so only one continent is playable at any given time, game fixed.

>>167463556
I don't think you can do much about your reflexes. I mean, maybe you can? Brain plasticity or something? idk

It just looks so slow to me. Like you're perpetually distracted by eating or you're listening to someone else talking and then something happens in the game and takes you an extra tenth of a second to react to it.

>>167464575
It's this fucking low sens dude, I'm telling you. It just FEELS like the game is slower when I have my sens this low. Sure I can maybe hit targets who are kind of midrange like 15% better or so but holy shit it's irritating to get shit done.

I also do tend to get distracted a bit. Planetside 2 is a cluster fuck of a game. Has alot of shit going on at once, explosions, gunshots, etc. It's hard to find my head in all that. It's why I like it so much though. It's like being apart of a real big battle.

I'll have periods though where I will be on top of the world and do a 30 long killstreak twice in a row, but then I'll just fall off instantly and start dying alot. I need to figure out how I can somehow get into that headzone all the time.

>>167462417
You're very passive. Outside of your ESF drop you basically played as passive as humanly possible. There's not much else to go off of because you picked kind of shit fights to show.

>>167465676
Noted.
I'll try to get better fights next time.

I think I have to ask: What makes a playstyle passive and aggressive?

Whenever I play aggressive I just throw myself into retarded positions in the middle of the battlefield to get exposed to as many enemies to shoot as possible, but this usually leads me to killing like 4 people a life and then dying when someone finally realizes what the fuck is going on.

But is that not aggression? What is aggressive to you guys? What is passive? Camping?

Someone should make a positioning guide for PS2. I think alot of people would benefit from a detailed guide to this shit since apparently it's such an overlooked aspect.

Fuck this I'm turning my sens back up to where it's comfortable. Never falling for the low sens meme again. I'm going to just set it and forget it and focus primarily on positioning and awareness.

>>167465929
>Whenever I play aggressive I just throw myself into retarded positions in the middle of the battlefield to get exposed to as many enemies to shoot as possible, but this usually leads me to killing like 4 people a life and then dying when someone finally realizes what the fuck is going on.
Your kdr would be higher if that was usually the case. Not trying to be harsh here but that's how it is. Aggression is simply trying to take an objective (a point or killing a sundy) where as being passive is just sitting behind good cover waiting for easy kills without really contributing to the objective or pushing towards it. Yes blind aggression is retarded but using good positioning skills, aim, and flexibility will allow you to win fights on your own. It takes a lot of map knowledge and awareness to pull off though. Your aim is fine you just need to work on aggression and assuming you also focus on not dying at the same time you'll probably get better across the board.

>>167460775
>not having stealth
If you can't stealth + rotary at least one esf, even in a furball, you should hang yourself

>>167466479
Usually when I aggressively try to take an objective it's just me throwing a grenade in, and then charging in/loling my way into the room and being killed and raped by NC shotguns.

So how about this: Controlled Aggression
>Throw grenades into room, wait to hear for movement inside(calls for medics, etc)
>Slowly go up to the door, peak on both corners, then enter and start shooting everyone I can see, taking care to leave and recharge if I need to
>Repeat until I can go to the point and cap it and then switch to pussy defense mode
Is that how it's done?

>>167464804
You're at ~44 cm/360 hip and ~75 cm/360 ADS. That's pretty low even for MLG pro competitive bullshit. When /ps2g/ tells you to lower your sensitivity, it's because most players are at, like, 1 cm/360 hip and 1.8 cm/360 ADS.

http://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/
The PS2 sensitivity setting isn't linear, so use that to fiddle with it in a less random way and find a sweet spot. Also, a good rule of thumb for ADS games is that sensitivity is usually reduced to half while ADSing, and in most games that part isn't configurable, so if e.g. you set your sensitivity to 20 cm/360, it's reasonable to set ADS to 40. Then again, PS2 is dumb, and sensitivity with a 1.35x optic is slightly different from a 2x optic, and 2x from 3.4x, etc, so whatever.

>>167467712
Alright.
So then, with 400 DPI, is .0.220237 considered low? That's what I ran before and just switched back to. I guess my ADS will be 0.1101185 ?

Assuming hip, that's on the high end of the competitive bullshit spectrum.
> I guess my ADS will be 0.1101185 ?
Nope. If you set your hipfire to that, it would be ~59 cm/360. ADS would be ~127 cm/360. Like I said, fiddle with the calculator to see what actual effect your settings are having.

>>167466248
Compromise and increase it a bit, but not all the way back to where it was

I used to play with stupidly high sensitivity but kept gradually adjusting it down over time, and my aim's a lot smoother and less jittery now. Much easier to follow people running around. You can see from these two videos the way my aim spazzes, jumps, and overcorrects because I've got it too high:
https://youtu.be/hLobnpBu4RI
https://youtu.be/838l8G8M6us

vs how it is now:
https://youtu.be/F8tTebe56Ig

Could it be the fact that I'm on a toaster that is fucking my connection quality? I don't think that is it, but I keep getting super shit server latency in Connery during big fights and sometimes smaller ones. I'm getting 20-30 FPS and the server latency is in the thousands and the moment I die my connection goes back to normal. I've never had this happen with any other game that runs somewhat poorly or outright chugs like MoW2.

>>167469489
This game runs really poorly in general. For latency I have no issue and run from 20-40ms but in terms of fps I'll hit 20 on relatively garbage settings with a 1070 and 8350.

>>167469410
Fuq.
I'm looking now at putting it at 34 CM/360 for hipfire. and 68 CM/360 for ADS. Testing ingame, and that feels OK.

>>167470143
My issue is I've got fucking people flying all over and falling through the ground because my ping is 100 (average is 70-80) and the server latency is 4000-6000. I can't fucking play like this. I can deal with low FPS, I can deal with my ping being like 300. This shit I cannot.

>>167470478
I just stop playing for awhile when it gets like that. They usually unfuck the servers after a week or so, and we literally had patch day this thursday. The game's always buggy as shit for a week every single patch.

>>167470765
I haven't played for years or followed anything, last time I played they were owned by SOE I believe. So this is all news to me, sorry if I sound like a broken record about it.

Is render quality important? I really want to maintain at least 60 fps but I get such huge drops some times and it fucks me hard. I'm not sure really what to do, this is the only game that gives me framerate issues, especially since it does so even at shit settings.

Who the fuck can I punch in the face for making mouse movement slower when the FPS drop from 60 to 50?

This is true. For example, on VS if you have some people watching a door, they'll shoot enemies that try to come through that door. When you're playing NC, you have to pretend your team isnt there, because they're completely useless and will let enemies run right by them.

Disable shadows and flora. Render quality basically up- or downscales your screen. If you play on 1920x1080 and have render quality set to 50% the game runs at 960x540 upscaled to your 1080p resolution.

I found it doesn't really help much.

If you have a weak cpu but a good gpu you could try playing on medium graphics settings.

>>167504552
Honestly the hell else is there to put on a mounted gun, other than what we already have?

>>167504385
>ie. Different types of shells for shotguns like incendiary, flechette, electric.
>Fucking FMJ, tracer, API, API-T would be great for rifles.
>For mounted guns API, API-T, HEFI, HEFI-T.

Are there any actually gud outfits in EU that are active in Eurydome/Woodman or whatever the fuck it is called at the moment. I heard Woodman got merged with some other server.
I kinda miss playing with IP. They were quite pretentious and annoying at times, but at the same time organized and had some sort of an idea what they were doing.

Hey, more than FVK/KOTV

>>167507827
IP were one of the more impactful shitter stomping outfits on Woodman though.

>>167505653
I'm convinced they're too afraid of fucking horrifically up to reset old names.

For example, back in 2014, SOE attempted to reset inactive outfit tags; instead, they left most of the 1 or 2-man outfits that nobody had logged into since a week after launch alone, and somehow managed to completely delete a bunch of active outfits (including mine). Apparently an outfit where 8/10 members had been online in less than a week since the cleanup counted as inactive.

Just because we could farm them doesn't mean they couldn't farm shitters.

IP were just about as good as RO are now.

>>167508227
Aren't pretty much all organized outfits farmable to some extent?

>>167508624
Yes since all the strategy in this game revolves around zerg rushing a point, either by gal drops or max crashes, both of which are great opportunities for sick frags.

>>167507881
Wow, you were better than 12 year olds playing at 20 FPS. Great job, pal.

>>167508227
>Just because we could farm them doesn't mean they couldn't farm shitters.
If they got farmed, they were shitters.
>IP were just about as good as RO are now.
No.
RO is all lag abusing cunts and a quarter of them use ESP, but most are decent shots.
IP was just 1.5 IVI KDR shitters who think they're good.

>>167508095
>I'm convinced they're too afraid of fucking horrifically up to reset old names.
It sure would be nice if they showed that sort of concern in on other aspects too, huh?

>>167509131
IP were mostly vehicle shitters. I clearly remember their Saron and PPA cheese.

hello dima

I have a dream that one day, DBG will ban all Russians and other slav shits from this game.

>>167510505
whoops there goes a third of the playerbase

>>167510505
>DBG
>owned by Columbus Nova
>affiliate of Renova Group
>one of largest Russian investment companies
>Russian Oligarchs
>banning Russian players ever
not happening

>>167511105
>implying Russian kikes care about what happens to Russian goys
Hello? Russian aristocracy? Soviet Union ruling class? Modern Russian ruling class? Do you think any of those cared about the people?
No, the reason they're not banning Russians is because they're customers.

>>167509131
>It sure would be nice if they showed that sort of concern in on other aspects too, huh?
At least other fuckups can be fixed with a patch.

You know why his stats are like that? Back when SOE merged Helios and Connery, in the process of moving his character from one server to another, they caused that to happen. Something Higby, and probably most of the GMs when SOE/DBG still had active moderation, used to do 5 times a week when hopping between servers with admin commands, names and outfits and friends lists and everything shared between servers, there literally probably being only one entry in a database somewhere that defines which server a given character belongs to -- and SOE somehow managed to do that.

What's better is that they couldn't fix it even if they wanted to because SOE/DBG literally do not keep backups of the character database, and didn't even bother backing it up when doing server merges. Even if you're a whale and have given DBG $1000, someone compromises your account and deletes all of your planetmans, or that old bug resurfaces that would delete the wrong character on the character select screen (even with the "please type the name of this character to confirm deletion" thing, it would still delete the wrong character), DBG has no way to restore them.

That's the level of retardation DBG has regarding player saves. I don't blame the devs one bit for not wanting to be the one who accidentally the entire database trying to do something like clean up dead character names.

you should be making new daybreak accounts for lowbies anyways, nothing hurts tryhards feelings more than getting dunked by someone with 0 directive score repeatedly

Look me up on Twitch, SaiyanX3. 100 in 30 minutes isn't even worth staying logged on for.
