Is there no way to unlock more loadout slots without paying money?

This is a fucking odd game. Giving everyone wallhacks on like a 5 second CD? I still dont think its a good idea.

They need to like double the cooldown at least, it removes like half of the positioning skill from the game...and positioning is really all FPS's have.

The weapon sprays are also pretty crazy random from hip, and ADS makes you basically completely immobile. One of these should be adjusted.

It just removes camping, it doesn't remove positioning at all. Holding a good position is always key in FPSes, if you and your team is doing it properly, it shouldn't matter at all that the enemies know you are there.

It ALWAYS matters that the enemy knows where you are.....thats like Sun Tzu basics right there.

It just sucks that if I want to do some sort of flank or switch positions in a sniper dual or run away around a corner and set up an ambush, I have a about a 5 second time window to do it or chances are that everyone already knows. It also adds a randomness aspect because you never know what an enemy player's CD is, they could happen to scan the second you get out of view, or they could be totally blind. You just have to make a total assumption and go for it.

Of course it matters that the enemy knows where you are. It however doesn't change the fact that positioning is very important. If Sun tzu is your example of choice, think about archers on a hill. The enemies see them clearly, doesn't mean it isn't VERY advantageous.

You can't see their timer because you're not supposed to know about it. You should always play as if they know where you are, you should be constantly moving and you should never expect to "ambush" someone. The game is obviously trying to take a different route than cod since it's so common in games like this where you're killed in 1-2 bursts for people to sit around and ambush people since that gives guaranteed kills. In BL, they are trying to make it more like Quake where constant movement is superior and I feel it's more or less perfect. You don't have vision long enough to abuse it, and while your visor is on, you're completely defenseless.

I know you can still obviously still outposition people, I've gotten the hang of the maps and won my last 3 games and felt pretty good....I just cant shake the feeling that the game would be better with at least an increase on the CD.

Its an interesting mechanic and keeps the action going, but you have it so frequently that you just end up mashing it constantly. Its should be more of a tactical decision.

If you're mashing it constantly, you're probably getting shot in the face constantly while having it up. It's not hard to see the other persons character put their hand to their head. If you actually let it run out of energy it takes about 12 seconds to recharge which is reasonably long. I pop it once I spawn to see most positions get a few kills then pop it to see where they respawned at. Got called out yesterday on having wallhacks multiple times because of this. Feelsgoodman.jpg.

I almost never die in HRV, like never. If you are using it for more than a second you are doing it wrong. You can easily get all the information you need in the minimum amount possible, and this allows the like 4 second CD. Its always better to tap every single time you don't think someone is right up your ass. You are guaranteed to learn the location of 80% of the enemies on the map, vs like a less than 1:80 chance of someone jumping you in the next 1.5 seconds. Worth it 100% of the time.
