Why i hate ghost mode.

Did they reduce the ghost breath as well in recent patches? Since the spring patch it's like every ghost has low breath and those who actually do have it are pretty much silent.

To be perfectly honest I don't have a clue, I never noticed a decrease in volume of breath, just the sync's. Can't recall there ever being a fix to either, so chances are they either bhopped during the off-sync patches to kill you or they lagged terribly.

saying that.... i got to a point where Ghost Mode was so easy for me that i gave up using sprayable weps and ended up pwning with just snipers and pistols...

it wasnt that hard realy, when the ghosts breath wasnt messed up i used to be able to snipe them, was tricky tho and required camping in certern spots and listening carefully, mixed with a little luck and hopfully a bad move by the ghost... infact i have a video where i snipe a ghost in it 1 mo i get it...

here it is...

at 0:53 time stamp. note this was a test vid for quality n **** when i was on my pc but i killed a ghost going for my teammate with m700 sniper xD plus was recorded with the replay thing so the quality sucks

Interesting question!

I guess they patched the smoke/light thing cause Rival Factions will have GM matches and they dont want GR to win.

Not sure if that was a joke, but they patched it because it was a blatant unfair bug that messed the mode up.

Hmmm, thought it might just be me.I agree it seems like they changed something about the breathing. Bhoppers are now behind me before I hear them.

Seems harder to pinpoint for me at least.

KiwiDek

She has a point, although i don't play GM it's boring. Hope the problem gets fixed.

Now the reason i hate ghost mode now is because of a stupid little glitch that the developers keep ignoring.

Now coming from another very well known experienced player. Im going to say this as nice as possible :O.


SmileGate isnt ignoring anything. "No ghost breath while BHopping" Isnt a bug. Its more of Lagging thing. [Low breath] while using a Real Fast bunnyhop isn't a bug. Its more of a Lag issue.

I can hear ghosts just fine on my dads computer that bhop super fast. But since breathing needs to Inhale and Exhale most of the time when someone is bhopping they are at the point where there inhaling doesn't make much sound. So by time they breathed they are already near you.


This is pretty much a Lag issue. not a bug.

I think it's fair as moving while bunny hopping can be quite difficult. So i say let the experienced ghost have their edge.

If you got killed by a soundless ghost you either stayed still or your movement is predictable ( moving in a straight line ).

I love the metagame of ghost mode at the moment. I can go either way with the smoke/ light glitch as it's easy to adapt.

Bunnyhop is a joke,it makes hit reg fail,you move faster without noise and it ruins ghost mode.

Back when people didnt know how to bunnyhop, ghost mode was fine and fair,people who say bunnyhop is fair for ghosts because GR use guns are idiots,i dont bunny hop (too lazy) and i still get decent scores as a ghost using knife.

And i know alot of people back in the day who got 40-0 score,back when there was no bunnyhop or axe.Those where the good old days,where ghosts actualy did try to find a good hiding spot and wait like ninjas and planting the dam* c4.

Oh there was bhop. I was one of them


I do say keep bhop unless make regular breath to a low breath setting and make an even lower breath for low breathdown.

synaps1969

although i do well on gr with most players the more skilled bhops do have a easier time gettin up close to me, sometimes i catch them sometimes i dont but i do agree the bug/lagg issue needs to be fixed needs to be fixed and also agree z8 or whoever will do nothing about it. case in point how man br's still glitch in crates in mm and have been for a very long time with no fixes. come to think of it the only glitch i have seen them fix like that was the christmas/halloween map last year where they glitched in the skull, santa or whatever it was. sad to say but they take da money and let stupid stuff slide

GreatSiege

bunny hop is necessary without it you are just going to get pinpointed.

Big_Z_WSM

i hate ghost mode because it hurts my ears.

WantOne

who needs to hear breath? just run around like a ******ed chicken and hope you crash into one (works for me)

Ric3Ninja

I haven't noticed any difference in GM :S

I think Talonblaze is right to a degree because ive noticed that the breath is slightly out of sync.

GM shouldn't be a problem but yeah alter your sound settings. It doesnt matter if u have the latest hardware. Im just saying cause it sounds almost as it was a few patches ago.

skyyblu

could they just have breath down?

I used to play GM all the time too... almost lived in the lab... then people started kicking and I gave up on it - if I do play stick to 5 round games so I don't have to nerd rage getting kicked last round of 13.

J_ymee

It's not very easy to get kills in BL for me so it would be fair for me if the breath wasn't heard.

I don't think it's the breath down. You can hear the breath, it's just that when you play against people that can bunny-hop well, the breath lags. So by the time you hear it they are already behind you. At least that's what I've noticed.

crocop007

LowBreath and good bhoping with proper melee is what we need/use..U have guns, spray if ur scared and dunno where we are,cuz u'll never beat us!
Unless u wall ofc.

RuanZPablito

I can perfectly see the ghost :P:O

Ghost mode died a long time ago..when you know who invaded this game.

Not even close...

G.M died when we got the CF Vn Mechanics (A.K.A when Bhop got hella easier)

I rarely play G.M anymore, so many scrubs thinking they are Pro Ghosts because they can Bhop now.

EmperorLulu

Most annoying part of it is seeing you did 80ish damage in that split second and a random sprayer finishes them off >:/
