ghostmode

I've been playing this game for many months now and my favorite maps have been the ghost mode ones, so I'm not new to it. I was pretty decent killing ghosts playing GR side.

I took a couple of weeks break, and came back with the new train GM maps and CF now being under Z8.

Is it just me or has the game changed where the ghosts are alot harder to see?
It used to be with highest gama and brightness they were pretty easy to see when they were moving, now I barely see the outlines of them...

serious question.. I'm thinking it was changed, or my monitor or settings changed since the last time I played... ermm... any suggestions?

  • 2dr8ms4.gifI suggest you stop turning your brightness and everything way up you can't see ghosts as easily. =D That takes all of the fun out of the game. 2dr8ms4.gif

    lol, but they have the bunny hop so they still have an advantage.

    2dr8ms4.gifIf they are bunny hopping right you shouldn't be able to see them anyways. Bunny hop is countered pretty well without sound anyways unless you're 3rd/4th generation. 2dr8ms4.gif

    Sorry, how do you counter IJ without sound?'

    Stand in the middle of the map and wait for them to jump into you?

    No problem with your monitor or Gamma . I remarked it since a while also.
    But still the Ghosts still Cry a lot when you kill them ( forgot to add the sound breath reducer ) that make it harder to detect them.But I like it as for me more it`s difficult more the pleasure is great to kill an already dead person lol ( GHOST)
  • rofl. highest gamma and brightness. Yea you will see ghosts a tiny bit better, if your eyes aren't bleeding that is.

    The trick to gr is not being all tense and looking around wildy focusing on your crosshair's direction, but to relax your eyes and have a general view of your screen at all times. Unlike what you might think, being tense will make you focus on your point of interest only, and you will not pick up a fail bhop on the edge of your screen. The really only thing to tell a sly hacker apart in gm, is really only by this. They will easily pick out the slightest movement in a most unexpected long range edge of their screen view ghost, this is because they do not have to be alert and probably have been focused on that ghost and him only for the last awhile. Then again, pros do the same. Which means you will never really be able to tell hacks apart -_-
  • I'm not much of a GR player in ghost mode but I can say ghost mode is more sound related than visual, atleast if you are playing with skilled BL. On pubs people either camp in corners/vents/above in A or try to rush you with a knife. With skilled BL they will be able to bhop to you and kill you, you wont see a perfect bhop so you need sound to find them by their breathing. Stereo headphones/headset is the best to do it.

    so did they change it? I don't see anyone commenting if it was changed..just want to confirm.


    Like I said, I'm not new to GM, I know to have headphones on and listen... the ghosts just look different since the last time I played...maybe I'm going crazy.

    I think you are right, now its harder to see when they are crouching

    I really can`t tell you about the change but since the coming of the new patch I noticed it and if they are on bright spots you must only count on the breath , but lol the breath reducer does not help the GR at all and if there are noisy guns around , then make a cross on your head lol .
  • Just take out the gamma button and turn it way up. then put on surround sound and put on your headphones, the ghosts will kick you for thinking your hacker XD.
