Nope… I like the overtime update and happy to see them play testing oddball for HCS.

Watch the video. I am not against oddball, I am against the new weapon settings on a 2 year old game towards the end of its cycle. I have been a champ in both slayer and HCS and have been part of the community for a long time and am taking the time to post this review because of what it is doing to the overall community/my competitive friends.

That’s cool. I understand that not everyone will like the weapons tuning but I just so happen to like it. A players CSR doesn’t prove his opinion as right or wrong either. Sure the changes take some getting used to but they just aren’t that dramatic or game changing IMO.

I am not saying my opinion is correct by any means, I am just trying to explain how these type of updates affect people who play this game who might want to make a career out of it and have been around since day 1. Right or wrong that is up to your opinion, I am just sharing mine.

I like the changes, and hope to see Oddball in HCS, such a great game mode to watch as it tends focus the action on one part of the map - good for commentators and spectators.

I feel like these changes will breathe new life into H5, like LethalQ said they’re really not that dramatic, it’s a different starting weapon, and for some will probably feel even more familiar than the magnum. What I like about it is the increased skill to use, have to track your target more. It’s less lethal on average and on perfect TTK which opens up the gameplay to more reversals and outplays, and gives you a split second more in that glorious moment of 1v1 engagement - I love this especially.

Why the hell did they replace the HCS playlist in the middle of an active season with a 24/7 oddball fest featuring trash weapons. Guess I’m just not playing this game anymore. Enjoy the trash heap fellas, it’s been real.

Like the update and like that they are trying to make oddball competitive. Don’t like the BR starts though it just sucks. Magnum is the best part if h5 removing it would make it just terrible.

I watched the video, and I was a little confused as to why you wouldn’t just post your feedback in the Weapon Update thread. Basically all we are watching is you talking while you and your friends talk in the lobby. Did you post that in the hopes of you getting views? You could have just as easily and maybe a little more effectively gotten your point across by writing it out instead giving us a link to your YouTube.

There are other competitive players doing it that way, and tweeting seems to be a good way also. Plus, on these forums, when there is already a dedicated thread for feedback these types of threads usually get locked to help consolidate things. Check out the pinned thread at the top here and the official Oddbal thread on the HCS forums.

I’d love to try oddball at a HCS style/ Ranked Arena level

My only complaint with the Overtime Update is the game likes to not register headshots as well as it used to, even with dead-on, full 3-round bursts hitting people who are 1 shot and the while burst hitting their head. Seems you need to aim higher half of their head for the BR headshots to connect.

I personally love the BR now because it requires so much more skill to use and creates those amazing reversal scenarios that would rarely happen with its previous iteration. This also makes it more viable as a starting HCS weapon candidate. Plus, Oddball. Who doesn’t love Oddball?
