DMZ Feast Or Famine

[AntiCheatAgent94]

I have noticed a trend with DMZ and I was curious if anyone else is experiencing it..

I'll have a day or two where I have really bad games... Crack shot AIs (even the Tier 1 goons), shitty operators who just want to kill kill kill and don't care nothing about working together.. I'll have saved up 20 Contraband Weapons and I go thru them like a hot knife thru butter... It will be a really depressing time in da DMZ...

Then I'll have a few days where everything is awesome.. I am wracking up the kills, kickin' the shit outta even Tier 3 goons and hooking up with really great operators left and right...

Now, all things being equal, the laws of averages dictates that I will have good games and bad games interspersed evenly throughout my game play...

But that's not happening.. It's a few days really really good games and a few days really really bad games..

This indicates to me that there are other forces at work behind the scenes.. Mainly that someone or something behind the curtain is tweaking the gaming algorithms..

Has anyone else noticed this pattern???

welcome to the world of first person shooters.

I don't mind losing fair and square... Well I DO mind, but I can't bitch too much..

But if there is someone(s) behind the scenes saying "OK For the next 3 days, we're going to buff the AIs up to 11." that would just royally piss me off..

Then you are not losing on the merits... You are losing because some yahoo decided to frak with the players and make things harder...

This is just crazy...

Yesterday morning, I couldn't lose.. Sure, I got into some tough situations, but with a healthy dose of Self Revives, I was able to fight off the baddies and success-fil every match.. Probably played about 6 matches...

Today, I can't get 5 minutes into a game where I am one-shot killed by a shield goon with a pistol or a sniper shotgun shot from 1000 meters!!

I couldn't even get my molotov out before this shield goon with a pistol clocked me at 60 feet with a 1shot 1kill pistol shot..

I mean, look at it.. Game Clock started at 25:00 counting down and I was dead by 24:29...

"Hay!! I got a great idea!!! Let's make a game that requires a player to spend 5 minutes suiting and loading up and then have them get killed within 31 seconds of the game starting!! Won't THAT be a hoot, eh!!??"

And it's not just a one off.. That's the way EVERY game has been this morning...

Yesterday morning, I couldn't lose.. THIS morning, I am dead in under 60 seconds.. EVERY game...

It's this lack of consistency that is so maddening and makes me wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes that is simply frak'ing with the difficulty level...

well what i see is you got a couple kills and plated up went in you killed guy to left but by the time you went behind door and turned shield guy was already there and set for you, so the odds were against you. 3 or 4 vs you. so id say 30 percent chance you would make it. lol but keep at it because they are always in there waiting for you.

Some days you are the stick.

Some days you are the one getting the beating by it.

I have rounds in TDM like that.

I prefer the camping style game. But my idea of a camp is an area. I will choose a building and then make it MINE. You come near my building I am taking you down.
Yesterday I had a string of 3 games where I went 7-14 8-16 and 6-15.. Next round I went 34-3 Sniping from a building and running up and down the stairs taking out the droves of people trying to kill my ass because EVERYONE hates a "camping" sniper. Not to mention the VTOL I called in kicked some major tail too. and 11.1 KD was REALLY sweet specially after the 3 crap games I had before. Shrug.. So yeah sometimes you are the stick. Other days you take the beating

"What are you putting tennis shoes on for!!!??? You can't outrun a bear!!!"
"I don't have to out run the bear.. I just have to outrun you!!!"
