Reason for having 106 FOV from Mono's (Deadspots) Offensive player Bojinglebells:

Q: Why 106? Why change from 90? Why not 120?
A: I use 106 based on the old standard of a 90 degree horizontal FOV being the "norm" for 4:3 aspect ratios. With 106 it shows pretty much everything one would see with 90 @ 4:3, except extending your FOV left and right, thus limiting the potentially dissorienting fisheye effect: Example. Basically it all comes down to user preference. Lower FOV can give you better accuracy at the cost of environmental awareness, and vice versa with higher FOV.

The 'fisheye' effect is the first thing I notice when going 110+.
 
Just played this game for the first time and chose the Juggernaught class, really feels like the only class that requires a large amount of skill and quick reactions, but it is early days!

Nothing beats the feeling of railing some assault rifle scrublord in the face with a exploding frisby thing! :D

I agree. Stick with it mate its a great game just has a big learning curve. If you need any tips or advice on anything just fire away here.

I've noticed that the 'Steam starter pack' has sold a ton on Steam, so that means there's gonna be a huge amount of pay-to-win players with an advantage before a shots even fired, that's fine, makes the kill that little bit better. :D

As for advice and what not, all I really need to know what this 'learning curve' is as the game seems very simple. :p

That's because you're on Llama Island, which is where all the new players go until you're rank 6, then you join the big boys.

I ****ing hate Llama's. :mad:

Look at them:

Every Llama of each ethnicity is coming together in perfect harmony to wage its war of dominance over planet Earth, mark my words. One day the world leaders will regret rejecting my proposal for a Llama genocide.

I hope this steam deal will help bring new blood in. It may feel like there pay to win in the newbie servers but once you hit level 7 its not so much an issue as most players will have unlocked a lot of things.

If your around tonight we all jump on mumble to play. Nothing serious just messing about. You can join the higher level servers we will be in. What's your name?

Might be worth you watching a casted match to get a feel for how the team play works. There's a few pretty good players from the ocuk bunch that have been playing 6+ months and we all have a lot of room for improvement.

Post your names lad unless you already have or just add me: "T1luiGi" will be on from around 6 but kiwi or jimaroo are normally on earlier.

Will be on later tonight boys. On the subject of Llama's; we have noticed an increased tendacy for Llama's to be backed by light and even heavy defense! The worst thing is when you come in at 250+ to grab and it's been Llamed only to have to wait a few minutes for them to crawl back to the base.

Thing is, I think they belive that's how the game should be played (and if it works then why would they care???).
 
Maybe we should be blaming the defence then for letting them grab in the first place?

I watched some of heart breakers vs wait crossfire last night and saw shaz do back to fronts from the left side but no idea how he did it.
 
Expect more Llama grabs from now on, plenty of fresh meat playing now due to Steam.

Currently ~4000 people playing through Steam alone, no doubt most of them are between rank 1 - 8 atm, so should see an influx soon!
