Screenshot competition multiple entries?

Comment
    Blitzkrieg Wulf on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hi!

The rules about previous screenshots- screenshots from previous competitions cannot be used. For example, if you had 5-10 uploads for contest #65, and one or two of them fit the theme for contest #90, we do not want (edit: the same) screenshots submitted for a 2nd time.

While the competition is active/ongoing, you can upload and share as many new screenshots as you would like on Steam. All screenshots published in that week will be considered eligible for that contest so long as they follow the terms (So if the theme is 1930s, we will not be considering modern equipment, that kind of thing).

Re: Popularity contest- Yes, there are a dozen individuals who fairly routinely end up in the top 3, it has not escaped notice. We do have a few comments though-
-- While some weeks these artists receive even 100's++ upvotes for 1st place, there are other weeks where the "by-vote" podium is readily accessible, typically requiring 5-10 votes to secure a spo... Read more

spawn camping new meta?

Comment

Originally posted by FkYoSht: Ah yes blame the teams and fix nothing.

Better map design for starters, nullifying bomb damage in spawn, and 30 second spawn protection while in spawn (regardless of movement) are some suggestions to make it easier for bad (and new) players/teams to defend against spawn killers.

The players who want to spawn camp have their methods. A map redesign isn't going to change the desire to spawn camp, it will just change how the same players go about achieving the same goal.


From my personal experience/$0.02, generally speaking, most "spawn camping" runs start out as players trying to protect their flanks, then getting the better of the enemy team trying to do the same thing..... Read more

ST-A1 - ST-A3

Originally posted by Cercamon: Are the Type 61 and ST-A3 more of the same, aside from the cal50 and speed perhaps?

I don't think so.

The chassis on the STA1/2 is quite long. Generally good handling in rough terrain (Not nearly so much 'bounce' that you may experience on shorter chassis), but the 'around-town' handling will feel sluggish. Additionally (You may have noticed, maybe not), the gunner optics zoom level on the A1/A2 is high. Very, very high. 8x (low) and 16x (high). Superb for long distance, but for my opinion, too much for distances below ~500m.

Both 61/A3 are on a shorter chassis, have +150 HP. (650, vs 500, approximately the same weight). One is autoloading, 6s vs the ~7-10s for the non-autoloading. Both have 4-8x zoom, much more comfortable at closer ranges.

I've found the former two to be superb at longer-range engagements, and the latter two to be great at mixing t... Read more
