@=VG= System Is it just a specific type of intel object or all intel objects are doing this?

I'm not sure, played a bit today, and for now only the "old phone" intel seemed to give me the option to gather it, the rest just gave me the options to move them around.
After dying I kept loosing my rifle and gaining an extra laser designator (without batteries lol) each time - I was the JTAC and had 6 designators in my backpack in the end, and kept losing side-arm ammo as well on each death - even though I saved my load out at the arsenal
I also kept getting the mission pop-up from time to time, but without any letters on the pop-up or mission actually happening

edit: also the m72 ammo seems to be bugged and has an inventory weight of 0

edit2: something weird is also going on with vehicles, I keep finding groups of them parked in a areas and the ones that are populated are enemy

I'm playing right now, having trouble with the intel, I can pick it up and move it around, but can't use it to get a cache marker.

It's online 24/7 now, so if you gather up people on your spare time we can play whenever. You can make a discord post for example.

definitely not intended. Smoke is good for reviving under fire and tactical, I die all the time, I could never hate it

melon can we get... NOOEOEOEOEOEO
but seriously it's nice to know you are working on it (or are you?)

Do you mean it was intended to have differences between identical kits depending on if you spawned with them or grabbed them from crate? If so, that would seem odd, nein?

Idk, ask melon, I think he wanted to put kits without smoke to make the maps a little tougher, but forgot about the deployment style kits, or just wanted to experiment with them.

If you spawn with medic kit you don't have smoke grenades.

This was intended.

1 hour ago, =VG= Acro1 said:

If you take a medic kit from a crate, you do get smoke nades but also deployment-style healing.

This was also probably intended - idk if the kit's smoke grenade is an SP or MP one, might want to check that out.

Just too hard to reach the flag with bots attacking or to cap the flag?

The terrain there is awful, the only real cover you have is the bunker, and the only way to it from the north (the side with the least bots) has a valley where they shoot at you from above, and even if you reach it it requires a lot of firepower to neutralize.

8 hours ago, =VG= Melon Muncher said:

??? not really able to do anything. Do you hold V arrow to drop ramp?

Yes, the ramp doesn't move at all, and it starts in the open position, I've played on deployment and their boats work normal. (this issue has been around for a few patches now - feels like it was "made" so that the bots can exit the boats)

Infantry layer?

Yeah, my bad, Castle Road has some cover in the form of rocks and they come from only one direction so it is a little tough but doable, but there is 0 cover when moving to the Barn, only bushes, and the terrain doesn't help either. Usually dump a lot of smoke so that we could even get near it.

edit:
Guys, don't just spam the thread with "this map sux, bushes blah" - think of:

specific issues

On question no9 there's is no "none" option and it say's "this field is required"

Bamyan Lrg - broken spawn on VCP (K3kp2 south side) makes the enemy spawn near our main continually during the match even though we are progressing through the flags

Server not empty as viewed on PRSPY as of time of this reply (though I understand what you mean) -- typically, when this happens to multiple people (and when everything is correct on our end) the conclusion is that the PR Master Server may be experiencing issues

Ours is the only one that looks like this, the rest look fine, it's registering that the players are there, but it can't verify that it is them

7 minutes ago, =VG= The_Polish_Guy said:

Every one minute or so we get this error for every player in the server. No idea what it means just letting the smart people know.

It means that somewhere in between our server and the PR master server (MS) there is no connection, meaning that it can't verify accounts that are linked to our steam accounts, it's also the reason why the server looks empty on PR SPY
Try restarting it, maybe it'll fix it, if that doesn't work contact @=VG= m823us

These are also 'starter maps', they have a chance to run anytime the server crashes/restarts.  This could skew the results, so I wouldn't take this 'innuendo' personally  

Was gonna say this^^
Also most of the time the randomizer does most of the job, we usually just pick maps when we have either a good enough team/good enough people for harder maps or don't have enough for a hard map so we change it for a lower pop one
Also the numbers still don't tell the story of how good each layer is, Beirut may have an all round good selection of layers, but the Alt layer is pure garbage basically, and admins only ever set the large layer - most of the time Beirut only ends up being played cause of the randomizer

Marlin, Vadso and Gronzi

Marlin and Grozny are actually quite good maps, all of the layers that we have there - Vadso on the other hand is the single most boring map I've played too many times

My suggestion: remove all of the current starter maps except for maybe Pavlovsk and put in maps like Shahadah Inf and Alt, Falcon Alt, Qwai Alt, Al Basrah Std and Alt, Reichswald, Black Gold Std and Alt and see what happens to the numbers then for a month
Can we get the stats for layers and not just maps?

Fixed all instances of COOP layers having incorrectly defined ticket bleed and significantly increased the rate of bleeding.

@=VG= Melon Muncher
Kozelsk Alt bleed broken
Barracuda Lrg bleed broken

Pavlovsk is broken due to render distance I guess
edit: maps with new off-map airbases like Bamyan and Khamisiyah have the bots spawn less frequently in their armor/cas in main, leading to less resistance in general

Will hill 488 by any chance get fixed? Admins avoid it because apparently it crashes

We avoid it cuz it sux, it doesn't crash

sniper please
 

1. Always keep opening your map to check for info, and for general direction (^^x0r), use the squad leader marker as well
2. If you're using an aircraft that has AIM-120 missiles keep them on so that you can scan the air at a longer range, most kills come from finding the target first, rather than letting the enemy aircraft come in and then reacting
3. Make sure you have enough distance between you and the enemy and that enemy aircraft isn't at a weird angle coming towards you, you can shoot them down from the front, they just need to be a bit further away - don't have an itchy trigger finger, just wait it out if you're not sure the missile will hit properly, you can always readjust
4. Lead your target when you are chasing them (bot jets have different flight models, they will always out-turn you, but brief windows of time when they are turning and you are on them are perfect to let off a burst of cannon rounds - even if it just gets them smoking)
5. AIM-9s are also viable as weapons, you just gotta wait for the lock (and pray no friendly AA is targeting the enemy) - some enemy jets don't even flare
6. When attacking Gophers or Stingers always pre-flare while your going to the target location - especially with jets like the F16
7. Make sure your sensitivity is good, and that you can rotate the aircraft with ease and less movement of the hand (if you fly with a mouse) - find what's most comfortable for you
8. If you have enemy jets on your ass just do what vanillapop said
9. Learn the AA positions, take them out in an order where they can't hit you all at once, coordinate with other pilots - quickly go in and out
10. If you miss the quad or there is something shooting at you, just dive and keep turning (I don't use the rudder here, it usually gets me out of danger), put as much terrain and obstacles between you and the thing shooting you
11. Compensate for bullet drop when firing at a longer range
It's all about practice in the end
This is what I tend to do, and I don't consider myself as good of a pilot as some of the people that I've seen fly on coop, hope it helps ya
(oh and don't listen to x0r, he's a hacker)

Yeah man, I know that feeling all too well...
