So I played online for a bit and it's hilarious. With how I perform baseless completely on my connection quality, which for the most part is at the lowest it can be. There was a couple of games when the connection was in the green and I was pumping pumping out matches at like 30 kills and 5 deaths, then my connection would fail again and I would end up with 5 kills and 30 deaths. My accuracy is like at 8% or something.

Stupid Internets.

[Mop it up]

Ha ha, yeah, lag can do some funny stuff at times. I've been pushed through walls before, though I wasn't able to shoot through the wall... but the enemy sure shot me! I also once got stuck inside of another player for a little bit, and was forced to move along with them.

No one has good accuracy. The highest unhacked accuracy rating on the leaderboard isn't even 30%.

[Stratos]

When some of the guns are designed to have spread fire it kinda guarantees poor accuracy. Plus IR controls require more skill to have better accuracy with in my opinion.

So... I noticed a little something after a while, I'm not sure if anyone here is aware of it as, once again, it isn't explained in the game or elsewhere.

The host of the match is chosen randomly. There is no clear indicator of who has been chosen, but it is extremely likely that this person will be the only one with a four-bar connection strength (the host's connection strength will never be less than four, the max). The host will experience practically no lag, giving them a slight advantage. If this person quits or is disconnected, the current game will end, with the message "Host ended game."

Random curiosity question: When using the Last Stand perk, what happens if you don't have a pistol?

[Stratos]

You still pull out a pistol. I think though that it is the poorest pistol you can get instead of the better ones you unlock at the higher levels.

[Mop it up]

So it isn't the pistol you select? Where are you stashing this mysterious pistol?

[Stratos]

So it isn't the pistol you select? Where are you stashing this mysterious pistol?

It isn't the pistol you select if you change it out for another weapon before you die. Sometimes I change it for a different rifle and I still get a pistol.

As for your second question...I so want to answer this a certain way... 

[Mop it up]

I often end up switching out the pistol, which is why I was wondering. I don't know if I'd want to use the perk otherwise. I go through ammo clips like candy on Halloween, so I need to have a backup because I'm often running out.

I so want to answer this a certain way... 

Well EasyCure isn't here, so go ahead.

[Stratos]

I like the assurance of a good machine gun or something when I choose the sniper or shotgun classes. Allows me to adapt better on the fly.

[Mop it up]

Ugh, I don't like either shotguns or sniper rifles. I'm just not steady enough to be able to use sniper rifles, they require too much precision, plus I don't really know good vantage points. The shotguns just seem plain weak and useless. You've got to get a direct hit for it to be a one-hit kill, and that's only if the enemy doesn't have the increased-health perk. Combine that with the extremely short range, small ammo capacity, and slow reload, and it just isn't worth it. I rarely run into people using shotguns online, and I don't recall ever running into someone who was proficient with one.

Not so fast.. miss me?

Ever seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake? Yeah...

[Mop it up]

ha! So i played my first online game after only 1 mission and of course got schooled. Man some people have annoying handles online like "muffmuncher" and "alitlegirl" lol. This definately isn't a pick up and play kinda game like the Conduit is. Guess i'll practice some more before attempting that again. I am down for some friendly matches with all of you from NWR, anytime (all 5 of you ).

[Mop it up]

Added.

My computer near my television isn't feeling well right now, so I won't be able to chat on AIM for the time being.

[EasyCure]

I added all 4 other people from the games FC thread

Whats AIM have to do with anything right now? (or yesterday?) I wasn't planning on playing anymore online matches for the night, but I'm game tonight or possibly this weekend. HOLLA!

[Mop it up]

That was more of a general announcement to the thread. Since the game has no communication, I use AIM to chat with people, like Insanolord.

[EasyCure]

Ah, gotcha. Well we'll swap info when we have a meet-up then. Until then I'll try to remember my AIM password.

[NWR_insanolord]

Was my code in the FC Thread? I don't remember if I posted there or not.

[EasyCure]

Yes.

I've added You (insano), Stratos, Terimisu (lol sp?) and last but not least, the loveable Mop it up

[Mop it up]

Toruresu.

the loveable Mop it up

You might not be saying that once you see me with a gun in my hands.

Speaking of, why are there no female characters?

[Stratos]

Because women aren't permitted in active combat units?

[TJ Spyke]

Because women aren't permitted in active combat units?

Not quite. Women are allowed in active combat units, just not combat arms (I looked this up). The explanation is long and boring, but a female Army First Lieutenant explains it here: http://www.pbs.org/pov/regardingwar/conversations/women-and-war/women-in-combat-is-a-moot-point.php

Basically women are not usually assigned to active combat units, but there is no rule saying that they can't be.
