A good test is to get a heavy suit and step out of cover for about a second and move back behind cover as an opponent is firing at you. You will see the bullet effects and hear the sounds as you take damage after you have moved back into cover. You will take damage just as an opponent appears rather than after they have appeared and begun to fire. Also, people just move faster due to syncing issues. The animation sputters ever so slightly. Also, you will see people are not even facing you when they shoot at you as they turn so you can't gauge if you are indeed flanking them.

I thought we all dealt with that, its been the same for me on three different internet connections. I always keep on taking damage for a second when I'm behind cover. Just sit there and wait to see how bad the damage is. Some scouts move a lot faster than mine, minmatar with two enhanced catalyzers. And some move left to right faster than is possible for me.
For the op, squad up, like everyone advises. 1/12 with 180 points my last game, My scout died 9 times going solo, trying to get uplinks near objectives. Merc with bolt pistol, got me 4 times, around "A", never did see him. He protected that objective well and finished 20/3. Died every time I tried to make it to "E" trying to get an uplink over there. A heavy and a logi were defending "B", died three times with my hmg tryinig to take over that one. We finally got it when four of us happened to show up at the same time. It was a close game, two pretty bad teams, so I kept trying. Would have been a lot more efficient to join up with a couple mercs and stick together.
The weapons change all the time. I would do like someone else said and try all the militia versions. When I was playing a lot last spring I was doing well with a scrambler rifle, its not as effective now. And was doing real good with a heavy and a forge with a sub machine gun. Kalakota forge doesnt seem to have the same damage it used to against vehicles and I cant get into the same suit I used to run, they must have changed some of the pg and cpu requirements. Bolt pistol, combat rifle and rail rifle seem to be most popular now, it will change, so just skill into what you like most. I tried the bolt pistol, there are some assault rifles that can kill my scout before my pistol will charge. They have good aim and get there really fast, as they bounce all over the place. If you need to stop and aim you will likely choose a weapon thats more suited to that style. |
