Bleh... I think that's just probably actually an important part of the game, there are people that like the kind of risk involved in it.
Anyway, more on this game. Bullets seem to do next to nothing so I have to shoot people many times to kill them, one time I shot somebody 10 times with an AK-103 and it did not kill him and so I died.
I mentioned before that I fired a SMG in full auto and sprayed shots everywhere and so only maimed the person I shot at until I shot him more in semi auto mode. Most of the shots I fired in full auto probably actually hit, in the after battle report it tells you how many shots you fired and how many of those hit. I had assumed that the reason it took so long to kill people was because I was missing all the time, that's wrong, after checking these reports I noticed that I actually hit most of the time.
What this also means is that even though recoil is bad(probably too overdone than it is in real life really) people still use auto all the time because it's the only way to actually kill people in a reasonable time frame, people just spray and pray all the time.
The shops sell most of the equipment you need to run what you want but it unlocks by level, I am at tier I of IV and next tier unlocks at level 14-15 depending on the trader, so right now the best gun I can buy is a AK-74U and I can get a few attachments for it but not very good ones.
Anyway, the way to get money to buy these guns seems to revolve around the Scav gameplay, basically you can play as your PMC or you can play as a Scav with random equipment and whatever equipment that Scav brings back can be put into your stockpile so you can use it yourself or sell it. There are player Scavs and AI Scavs, Scavs spawn in a match while the match is going, usually about halfway through it seems(for most player Scavs anyway). If you shoot another Scav as a Scav you lose opinion with one of the vendors which also effects how good the equipment is that you get as a Scav is apparently. So then what often seems to happen is that you spawn into a match where most PMCs are dead or have left alread so it's just a bunch of player Scavs running around looting stuff. But from a distance it can be hard to tell who is a Scav or not and you are not going to risk shooting a another Scav because of the penalty so it seems if any PMC is still alive it would be easy for them to get the drop on player Scavs. That has happened to me, but he did not kill me so I managed to get him, but there is also another aspect to this Scav system where if you kill a Scav that killed a Scav you get more opinion so another player must have thought I had killed a Scav not a PMC so he killed me just after I killed the PMC. Another time I was shot by another Scav out of nowhere and another time I walked through a door and got shot by one, you are dealing with other players so it can be frustrating, you have no way of knowing if they are going to team kill you or not.
The maps are smaller than I thought and there are fewer of them(there were maps listed there with padlocks so I assumed I would unlock them at some point but apparently that's because they have not been made yet), PMCs and Scavs have set spawn locations as well. So learning the map is basically key to being good at this game.
Overall, it's not that good and I am not sure how much more I will play of it.
