Sucks cause I bought the battle pass preseason and for the first like three weeks I couldn’t even get into a match and now I’m only at like level 25 with my character and maybe level 20 with the battle pass.

That’s usually the route I go when it comes to the battle pass. I won’t buy it unless I’m more than 60-70% done with it. I’ll probably buy it day one this time around for content and bc I’m sure I’ll finish it fairly quickly
Haha thanks man, feels weird uploading content for a game that’s actually released now. I was one of the few uploading for a game with no release date I’ll check you out
Man I hate repeating myself & sounding like a broken record but unless S1 has a huge update & fix netcode & hit reg, amongst broken Snipers, this game wonf last long.

It got to the point where whenever I die that much in a row to netcode & hit reg, I just quit the match & find another lobby until every lobby is the same bs therefore I am staying off it until there's a fix but then again if there was, it would be fixed by now especially when it launched, don't be surprised when this game dies, what a shame, 4 years for this mess, the gaming industry is a joke🤦🏿♂️.
Shotguns are more rare, snipers need to be banned from ranked, make it fast paced again, shit is so stagnant, all everybody do is camp with Tac 50's & other rifles

You forgot one thing…convincing gamers to stay off the cesspool of filth that is Reddit. It’s so pathetic on there with any game. Reddit communities are only good at one thing & that’s turning things into absolutes. Have a couple matches where a sniper or 2 on the enemy team is rolling you hard?? “OMG it’s every game it’s all I see!!!” 3 spiderbots get on your face in one match?? “OMG this is always happening it’s literally every match!!” See a few campers in TDM & it’s “OMG that’s all anyone does in TDM it’s so boring!!” The amount of bullshit is ridiculous on Reddit. I have over 100 hrs in the game. Level 101. I think TDM is a great time & rarely see campers. Also rarely have matches in any mode ( I queue to all of them) that’s annoying cause there’s too many godly snipers or too many campers or too many echelons or too many spiderbots. Spiderbots are a joke to counter yet the new Reddit trend after just one idiotic moron posted it is “OMG remove spiderbots they’re OP I’m uninstalling till the devs listen to my whining!!” Shotguns are also fine. My highest kill games have been with the AA-12 & the double barrel. Just got my double barrel to silver today actually I fuckin love that thing. “Shotguns suck buff them they don’t even one shot up close they need better range!” I don’t even know where that nonsense comes from. I experience this with nearly every game I play. I like a game. I go on Reddit see what’s being discussed & it’s like I’m in a different universe playing a different game. It’s incredible.

I posted a video on there and it got removed for spam, never went back after that. I’m enjoying the game and the flow and having a great time. I think the spider bot needs a rework but other than that I’ve been having fun
Mf it's literally every game I play, last time I played for a while, it was a few hours, let's say I had 40 games, 6 out that 40 wasn't a camp fest, & more then half of the games had multiple snipers, you wanna ignore what's going on either cause you delusional or it's not as bad in YOUR lobbies don't mean it's not true in other people's lobbies you ain't in their lobbies, you gon tell me I'm exaggerating?
