Blight’s average age looks to be about ~16…
God, I feel old.
EDIT: L4S average age looks to be ~18-19. I still feel F’ing old.

Anyone else watch that match and wonder, if Blight had had a heavy soldier, that maybe they could have done better in defense at the arkoral sample? (after the elevator doors are blown)
Or is it just my heavy-ism showing?

for stopwatch you want everybody being light honestly since timing is everything.
But it’s just sad there were all using carb 9s.

Do you include HMG in “any ar”?
I dunno… I just think about my heavy soldier + medic & engineer buffed… and can’t help but think a heavy soldier would have survived most of the firefights that their light soldier(s) didn’t, therefore timing of re-spawn would be moot.
On a number of occassions, I thought that, had their medic been heavy, he would have died less (and at less opportune times).
Again tho, I’m extremely partial to my heavy, so it’s certainly possible/likely that I’m wrong.
Regardless, fun to watch… tho, sadly, really short. They should have had the Tower be the final.

Too bad Blight didn’t go first… I think they would have made some progress in time…and the L4S would have beat that… Probably would have been a more interesting match.
But at least there was a completion. It was a pretty good showing.
I think that if headshots did more damage (or bodyshots did less damage), that people would use more accurate guns than the Carb. I guess that consistently hitting the head 4 times is hard for even the best PC players…so its probably smarter to just aim at the body, and get the gun with the best damage…even if its spread sucks.
As for the heavy stuff, they do win gun fights after the updates, but like the guy above said, they don’t work for stopwatch because of timing issues. It would be pretty good for defense in some maps, but a liability when the team is on offense.

Hard? It’s impossible, trying to even aim for headshots are barely even worth it because the spread is so freaking big.

Kross doesn’t do any damage whatsoever. By the time you sight up and manage to get in your first hit, you’re already sprayed and gone. Simple fact is: Competitive players will always use the most efficient ways to win. Brink offers only one viable weapon for it.

What I said was that if headshots did more damage (or bodyshots did less), then people would probably use the Kross more. If you could get all headshots with the Kross, then of course it would beat the Carb, but I’m not sure if anyone, even on PC, can do that consistently.
So you have to make the damage bonus of a headshot good enough that you can miss a couple of bullets, and there is more reward in the risk/reward of going for headshots.
Because as it is, it is more efficient to just go for bodyshots, using the gun with the best damage, regardless of its accuracy.
(On a sidenote, I don’t think you want to sight up with the Kross.)
