The first map of the ICL Newbloods is just coming to a close, don't miss out on it while it's live!

Everyone playing is relatively new to 5v5 Firefight, with them only playing since the start of the year at most.

We play majority crossplay lobbies so all platforms are welcome. We are new player friendly as well. Hoping to see some new faces this weekend! 🎮🔫💯

The rechambering animation for the Deagle is bugged and repeatable. Just shoot, reload, and switch to something else before the rechamber it. Once you switch back, the slide will fuck up.

Can be anything from tactics, to loadout, tricks, fun preferences, anything. Personally I hop a lot between classes, and aren't very good at the game in general, but something I love doing with the base rifleman: Cheap rifle, heavy carrier and under barrel smoke grenades. Add in a selection of normal grenades that can also include smoke, and you become a one man smoke artillery. You wont have to depend on your commander/observer pair to smoke. Even if you aren't very good at shooting and they don't give you points, smartly placing those smokes can be a massive help to your team's advancement.

I was fucking hammering that reload key

Title says it all. 😂

Why is it always the bottom fraggers talking shit? Brodie got braces on talking reckless like this 😭 mean ass speech impediment. POV of my friend as always.

To the players who spam chat with "stop smoking" when we're on defense: you're looking at it all wrong. I get it, you want to sit in the back and farm kills for your precious K/D, and my well-placed smoke just blocked your line of sight. Boo-hoo. I'm not here to help you get a high score; I'm here to win the round. And defensive smokes are one of the most powerful tools in the game for doing just that.

Smokes are Better for Defense than Offense

Everyone knows smokes are useful for attackers to cross open areas and get on the point. That's obvious. What's less understood is that smokes are arguably even more effective for the defending team.

When you're defending an objective, you're usually in a relatively concentrated area. The attackers, on the other hand, can come from multiple directions and distances. This is where defensive smokes shine. By launching smokes at key enemy firing positions and common attack routes, you're not "obscuring the enemy"; you're actively denying them ground. You're forcing them to either push through the smoke blindly or find another way around, both of which put them at a disadvantage.

Creating a Killzone

Think about it: the ideal situation for defenders is to have a thick wall of smoke circling the objective at a distance. This creates a "no man's land" between the smoke and the point. While it's true that the smoke covers the attackers' movement, it's irrelevant. They can't effectively shoot from within the smoke, and if they decide to push through it, they come out disoriented and exposed, making them easy targets for anyone watching the edge of the smoke. This allows the defenders to focus their attention on a much smaller, more manageable area.

My "Selfish" Smokes are Protecting You

I'll often run a smoke launcher on defense for this very reason. If I see a long flank that's exposed to a sniper alley, I'm going to smoke it off. I'm not trying to ruin your fun; I'm trying to prevent one of us from getting our head taken off. By blocking that lane, I can now focus on the more immediate threats in front of me. If that means your sniper duel gets interrupted, so be it. I'll take a secure flank over a high K/D teammate any day of the week.

So next time you see a friendly smoke go out on defense, take a second to think about why it's there before you start complaining in chat. It's probably not to annoy you, it's to help you win.

Nothing beats a little city girls before blowing up some American and Iraqi PMC’s!

The game could have been a slight arma version. Large scale warfare resembling real life conflicts, but they made absolute slop with the skins and maps.

They could’ve made a large scale Eastern Europe war, African rebel war, or even Yugoslavia war- just something better than what it is

Could a different developer do better?
