They really need to start making more Medium skins than the FAMAS, because I've got like 50 of them for all different sponsors because of sponsorships and circuits and all the other shit

it's all famas and fcar

AK needs some love

>>2132960
AK needs some love in general. Is there any point in using it anymore when the P90 exists

>>2132977
AK has better range and better damage falloff
It just needs 4 bullets back at the very least

>>2132989
Yeah but at that point, it runs into the issue of being outclassed by the FCAR, with the distance being enough that the smaller mag size isn't as much of an issue. I guess the AKM might be able to be considered alright in the sense of being a jack-of-all-trades, but I dunno. I think it could use just a little something, like just a fractionally tightened up recoil pattern now that it's got much stiffer competition that's uber accurate in their respective ranges.

>is there any point in using the P90
It's extremely accurate and has a slight but noticeable edge over the rifles in terms of TTK and kills-per-mag. The range is limiting, but that's easily played around on most maps, and the damage per bullet is already low enough that max falloff doesn't actually hurt it that much.

>>2133100
Medium needs to be able to play midrange since other classes can't and putting distance between your enemies is key. Even the shotguns have better max ranges. You also don't have the mobility of a light or the health of a heavy so going in with the peashooter isn't too beneficial.

The only time P90s are threatening is when they're stacking 2 or 3 of them. That's like a pocket minigun but other than that, I'd take any other rifle any day of the week

>>2133120
>Medium needs to be able to play midrange
Which they're still able to threaten with the P90
>Even the shotguns have better max ranges
Stopped reading there. Not gonna reply anymore to anyone that's gonna be disingenuous. Do whatever little dance you want in reply to this, I do no care.

>>2133129
The model has a min range of 20 meters and max of 30
Granted, the cerberus has the same ranges as the p90 but the cerb does better burst damage and has the fire mechanic

What i'm trying to say is that sustained damage isn't as convenient as high bust damage, regardless of range. It's the same reason why the M60 is completly unused these days. It has better TTK than the lewis, basically across the board, but it's akin to a damage over time weapon. I know neither are really used anymore, but even when they were, the lewis was the more popular choice.

>>2133816

>>2133816
Nope, but Medium has no interesting gear anyway.

The new map is insanely shit.
There's a single quarter where you can actually push cashouts and fight without everything coming down to pixel peeking the billion slanted roofs.

Also fuck this pattern recognition captcha bullshit.
>>2133816

>Is a fast on the spot revive a must pick?
Its not if you're retarded. Just play heavy or light, they have more flexibility in what gadgets they can pick, with medium, you're throwing if you don't have defib and jump pad/zipline.

>>2133816
YES.

Do NOT listen to any fucking morons trying to tell you that you don't need defib as Medium if you can just "kill everyone". Clutch revives are some of the absolute the biggest gamewinners, and in The Finals you can regularly get 3rd partied at virtually anytime.

You motherfuckers whine about Lights being selfish, kill-hungry morons and then play Medium with no defib, say "Fuck your teammates" and then LARP as a Light with an AKM.

Stay off Med, you douchebags. The YouTuber you're parroting the whole "No defib" argument from is not helpful. Kill yourselves.

>>2133905
> My friend vehemently refuses to use it and it's cost us games
Why would you argue in favor of not bringing the defib by pointing out your friend who refuses to use it has cost you countless games? You're basically saying "Yeah, my friend doesn't bring it and I've lost a lot specifically because of him not bringing it, but he gets kills sometimes so it's worth it! Epic!!! XD"

>>2133816
Yes, disregard anyone who says otherwise, they are retarded
>but the revive sickness
not an issue as long as your body was brought to cover
>buh the half health
between healbeam making a comeback and the light's infuser, the revived player will be at full health before he can move

>>2133905
>My friend vehemently refuses to use it and it's cost us games but he's pretty solid so it's not the end of the world.
utterly deranged statement. Why doesn't he play light if he clearly only cares about kills?

>>2134072
>has cost you countless games?
Just like your inability to read has cost you countless opportunities IRL.
It's like saying your heavy player using his RPG to kill a light and not having it off cooldown for stalling the cashout cost countless games, there's matches where someone having X over Y or Z loses and or wins it.
Is defib strong? Yeah, absolutely. Is it mandatory? not really.
>>2134124
Because having multiple lights a match is inting far harder than someone not bringing a defib.
90% of the +1 random players you'll get in diamond matches are roller lights and they sure as fuck aren't going to swap just because you've already got one.

>>2134152
>It's like saying your heavy player using his RPG to kill a light and not having it off cooldown for stalling the cashout cost countless games,
There are plenty stall items. Heavy even has a spec for it and can bring C4. No other gadget can passively revive a teammate.
>Is it mandatory? not really.
Yeah actually, you're kinda throwing if you don't bring it and none of the medium's remaining gadgets are worth having 2 flex spots over it. The single flex spot is already always filled by goo, a nade or zipline.

> you'll get in diamond matches
you don't get to diamond without a defib, nice larp

>>2134165
>There are plenty stall items. Heavy even has a spec for it and can bring C4. No other gadget can passively revive a teammate.
That's fantastic, not what I argued though.
>you don't get to diamond without a defib, nice larp
Cope.

>>2134174
>Cope
>shows no proof
hmmk

see this is why I disregard anything that's said here, there are people that unironically vouch to not bring defibs.

>>2134152
...So you're still basically saying: "Yeah, my friend doesn't bring defib and I've lost a lot specifically because of him not bringing it, but he gets kills sometimes so it's worth it! Epic!!! XD".
9/10 times defib is absolutely necessary, but you're staking your entire argument on the 1 time you might not need it. As far as I'm concerned, you have no right to complain about people going triple Light, because according to your autistic logic there's been triple Light teams that have won games before, so that means triple Light is viable and there's no need to adhere to a meta team composition to directly increase your chances of winning. Why bother with anything meta like bringing defib or sticking to MMH or MHL when you can just bruteforce a single win by sticking to the non-meta after innumerable losing streaks?

Yeah that's exactly what I said minus "lost a lot" hehe x3
Just like plenty of other times I've lost games because I didn't have the right gadget equipped for that situation, which was totally not epic, dude.

It's as mandatory as picking the famas and demat. Best option, yeah. Must have? nah.

why would you use the heavy as a metaphorical comparison against the med
heavy has multiple tools for destruction but med only has one tool to rez people.
If you're honestly trying to pretend that you can't see why people would get angry over someone willingly playing med without the only tool that can revive his teammates, you're an absolute faggot that needs to uninstall the game desu :33

>>2134225
>why would you use the heavy as a metaphorical comparison against the med
I'm wondering how the example keeps going over peoples heads. Autism? The point that was being made is not having the right gadget at the right time can lose a game, it wasn't supposed to be
>lol you don't need a defib you have an RPG!
I'm not pretending I don't see why they're mad, I'm saying it's not mandatory.
They can seethe about it all they want.
>>2134229
>This entire time I've been quoting your gay argument back at you
That's right! You've been quoting it back incorrectly because you whipped yourself into a fit.
You only just then had the direct, unaltered quote and responded to it without warping it into something I didn't say.

I seriously suggest attending remedial English education if you genuinely did it unintentionally.
>>2134223
A solid half of the map is completely unplayable if you don't 3 man gateway drop onto the roofs because there's no way to actually approach the points without losing most of your life from people head glitching on the slanted rooftops.
The dense urban area with apartment blocks and stores are pretty alright but anything to do with the traditional chinese architecture zones are a nightmare if you don't instantly take the highground.

>>2134247
I've gotten pretty lucky when approaching the traditional structures from the nearby under construction building where the path between them is quite short, the path from the building with all of the windows to the temple is quite a bit more difficult though.

>>2134247
Sure, bro. And I've quoted back your entire argument so """incorrectly""" that you've gotten superbly butthurt and went on hysterical and entirely unrelated, unfunny tangents/quips about Ben Shapiro, phoneposting, and risperidone.
Hold the L, retard

>>2134263
Also- I think I see now why you're so hysterical. Because you've been contradicting and arguing against yourself this whole time. Tell me, retard: if your point is "not having the right gadget at the right time can lose a game", how does any of that disprove what I've said about the defib being essential? You can't just say that, and then whine about the defib being considered mandatory.
You're a terminal fag and your shit's all fucked up, man.
Rest in piss

>>2134252
Even if you get to them you can't really do anything unless all of you drop on a dude because if someone's smart they'll pull the cash outs into the street/middle of the fortress and turn it into a shooting gallery with the ample cover they're given. Had a match against a ruby stack earlier that would drag the vault there every time because they knew it was like pulling teeth to push.
Very clear that they designed the map to look cool before playability came to mind.
>>2134263
No seriously; you type like a retard.
Google run on sentence. You shouldn't be using commas that heavily in your fanfics and you genuinely misrepresented what I typed several times because your addled brain misread it.
>>2134273
>how does any of that disprove what I've said about the defib being essential?
Simply having a defib doesn't win every game, bro. That's why it's not mandatory. You can't defib in every fight, and at higher MMR brackets fights end so quickly that you're not given the opportunity to use it which is why I presume an anon earlier said
>The YouTuber you're parroting the whole "No defib" argument from is not helpful.
which I presume is some popular player because he most likely said the same thing. As I said earlier it's the best gadget akin to the famas and de-mat, none of them are mandatory.
Seriously dude stop seething, my opinion is factually correct and it's okay to be wrong. I know binary thinking is an issue for you autistics which is why I asked if you took your pills.

Goo is a good counter to the out in the open, shame they keep nerfing it

The season was such a flop it didn’t even get chinks playing they are now asking arc raiders players to play 3 matches for an outfit LOL

>>2134465
I think it's time we be honest with ourselves:
Arc Raiders was basically destined for mainstream success in a way The Finals was just somehow never created for. While I'm still not quite sure as to why The Finals has never gained that level of vast, mainstream popularity (Steamcharts over the years pretty much shows The Finals being about as popular as Hunt: Showdown, which is another niche but popular FPS within it's in-group), it cannot be denied that Arc Raiders was uniquely created, tweaked, and engineered from it's very inception to be a AAA game with enormous appeal and outreach. I just don't know how Embark did it, bros. They perfectly captured lightning-in-a-bottle with the wrong (Or perhaps, right?) game...

>>2134475
Like, even right now in hindsight I cannot fathom how from day 1 Arc Raiders was an immediate smash hit. It just doesn't make sense!

>>2134481
I'll chime in and say the extraction genre has still be woefully underexplored, and while a lot of fatigue has settled in around it, there's also a large number of people that want to see it competently done. Arc Raiders stood to fill that gap pretty well by
1) Listening to people pretty well over the course of its betas
2) Releasing in full right off the bat, no early access that took almost a decade
3) The $40 pricetag hits the right balance of being a "full premium product" while being reasonable

And then of course people quickly piled into it further when it turned out the gameplay was far less one-note, kill-on-site interactions like other extraction game

Finals was always to sweaty and light stomping and high TTK games filter people

the new maps cool

>>2134819
I like it, although some of the objective spawns are weird. Like the cashbox that spawns in the water.

It kinda baffles me, but in hindsight, they kinda capitalized on the extraction shooter being too inaccessible to the average joe. Tarkov is too complex and cheater filled, wasn't on steam until a little while ago and can be too complex for people. Marauders is dead in the water, Arena Breakout is f2p so it's also probably p2w.
All they had to do was make an extraction shooter for normies and make the game run well and actually release, no early access shit.

Granted, I don't like Arc Raiders, I played the betas and found it a snooze fest, but the production value was never in doubt. Everything else kinda was.
If it were 20 bucks, I'd have even bought it, but 40? Ehh, can't see the value there.

Starfield will just be another cyberpunk where in another year or two people will see it as some gold standard for 2020s AAA rpg slop despite it still being crap to actually play

>>2135728

The Finals was thrown to the wolves as a minimum viable product to allow Embark more time to work on Arc Raiders. The lack of content at launch ultimately killed the game.

You suck
BUT
If you are a lower RS than your teammates (say they're Plat 2 and you're bronze)
the game will assume that you're playing from an alt account/boosting and place you in lobbies with high tier players. The losses are greater, which is why it's ill advised to do this.
You also NEVER play ranked in the first week or so of the new season, rank doesn't through seasons so everyone starts from scratch, even previous rubies

>>2136270
speaking of apex, they do one good thing with their ranked system which is loss protection. If your score drops enough that you're about to drop to a previous rank tier, the game will give you 2-3 chances before actually doing so. I mean, the same applies when ranking up, but overall it's not a bad system.
