Utterly Mad

A general thread for gameplay tips, just let us know what game your talking about.

So I'll start with some tips for the game I've most recently been playing

Red Orchestra 2 Multiplayer
Okay first, if your new take Rifleman so you learn the game. They are the easiest to learn the game with, and it lets the more experienced players play the more vital roles.

Learn the difference between a German and a Russian sprinting. A Russian will have his weapon in both of his hands, whereas a German will carry it with one.

Crouch run is useful. It will lower your visibility and how big a target you are. It also can help keep cover between you and the guy gunning for you.

cover is useful, so use it! The cover mechanic is very useful, though there are some situations where manually placing yourself is better.

Don't just stay in one place. You will get shot.

RESUPPLY THE MACHINE GUNNERS DAMNIT! Seriously, this is one of my major gripes, because so many players don't refill a machine gunners ammo.

Help protect the tank. If you see an enemy soldier rush for it gun him down immediately, he is most likely an engineer going for an AT grenade kill.



And that's what I got for now.

1. Don't die.
2. If you do die, try not to do so again.
3. Failing that, keep trying to not die.
4. #3 is especially important if you have a limited number of respawns
5. #1 is super important if playing a rogue-like

What if you're playing Squishy the Suicidal Pig?

This applies to any semi serious shooter
1: YOU ARE NOT FUCKING RAMBO SO STOP TRYING TO BE RAMBO!
2: Do not pull the pin on your grenade and then proceed NOT to throw it
3: If you are planting any kind of high explosive TELL YOUR TEAM
4: Aim for the chest and stomach, easier to hit then the head and a couple of bullets will generally kill
5: If you are moving in front of a machine gun or other rapidly firing weapon tell the operator

Another decent one for most online FPS games is to speed up your reaction times, if you walk around a corner and someone is suddenly there then 90% of the time whoever has the faster reactions (excusing any lag) will be the one to come out of it.

Also one tip I have for Arma III Atlas life.

If someone helps you rob a gasstation, promise him some cash so he'll cooperate. Once you rob it, don't give him any money, he'll rat you out to the cops or kill you; just put a bullet in his head, grab his shit and then run for it.

Tips for DUST: Survival Simulator
1. Careful where you tread: Be sure to use what scopes/binoculars you have to scout ahead, I also recommend either Project Nevada or A mod that make binoculars useful.
2. Aim for the right arm: When using V.A.T.S. aim for the right arm, when you cripple it you should make the enemy drop their weapon.
3. Deathclaws are dįcks: When facing deathclaws first, good luck, second, aim. For. The. Legs. I can't stess this enough, when you cripple a deathclaw's legs they slow down drastically.
4. Get some sort of backpack: In DUST your carry weight is 60 to 90 get some sort of backpack, That why I recomend getting Spice of Life for more backpacks.
5. Get some sort of shotgun: Shotguns are extremly deadly in DUST, they can kill you in one or more shots. So if you sneak behind someone and have your own, it's likely he won't live.
6. Perception is useful: It's so you can see if someone's freindly or not.
7. Find a home: Either find one of the safe houses or the Prospecter's den.
8. Find Westside, Westside is one of the few settlements left. You can trade with either the Co-Op or with Miguel.

.50 Anti Material rifle with explosive shells and stealth attacks will win you most fights.

Payday 2 tips
1: listen to allies, if they ask for ammo or health and it's what your carrying then put it down.
2: LISTEN TO THE DAMN HOST! Seriously that's just a good thing to do.
3: If your playing melt down put the heavy bags in the car, then carry stuff like coke by foot. There's a lot of ways to get to the objective, and on foot is perfectly viable for light items.
4: Pay attention to your allies ammo counters at the bottom of the screen when your carrying ammo, it's seriously beneficial if you put down an ammo bag in a good spot, and it's usually helpful if you do it before someone needs ammo.

Okay Payday 2 and how to treat low levels time

Do not talk down to them, even the rank ones. Just be nice, and tell them what to do. If it's a stealth heist I might ask you to wait at X location to run bags(which is my usual job since I can't stealth for shit apparently), if it's loud I'll tell you to stick with someone. Just cause I'm at infamous doesn't mean I can suddenly go 'I know better then you so do what I tell you." it means I've put enough time into the game to achieve that rank.

Playing Payday 2 is easy, on normal through hard. At very hard it gets a bit more complicated, Overkill is fun because it is a challenge without going overboard, and Death Wish...well be prepared for a frustrating two hours for a single heist. On very hard there's a chance to see a Dozer, and on Overkill it's pretty much garunteed if your going loud that you'll face a dozer. so to sum up my frustration with some low ranked players who have never fought one before DON'T RUN AT THE FUCKING THING THINKING IT'S A FUCKING TAZER! Seriously, don't. I'll stay out of cover adn get shot by the damn thing because, guess what? I've got a sniper class weapon that will pierce his armor! Not a fucking assault rifle.
That's not to say not to shoot the damn thing, but don't just sit out of cover when the thing is staring you in the face.

All in all, I treat low levels more as equals then noobs because I have been there and it's hard when the high rankers are yelling at you and blaming shit on you. I'm respectful, I'll treat you as my equal, just don't start insulting me, the other teammates, or start cheating, because then I kick you. My favorite match was when I dropped into a match full of low levels and helped them through a couple of heists(on one we were all, skill wise, equals since we were doing stealth, I just had a stealth build with more points in it), and I enjoyed it because we chatted, we joked, but we didn't blame eachother when we screwed up, we admitted what was our fault and didn't try to blame each other.


Also, I don't know. I mean I've only been trying to get an organized match together for the past two weeks.
