Alliance of Valiant Arms: Black Scent Guide

[essereumano2000]

Good

[ChernobylCorp]

This is an extremely well thought out and detailed guide. You express many key elements in both this map, and gameplay in general.

[IlluminatiRevealed]

Nice :)

[L0lzorFail]

[bradercudas]

[DarkGem2]

HybridX. I think I reached 1st lieutenant.

[kristianjn]

your good

[sayway911]

what do you do to hear people walking/running again?

[DarkGem2]

@sayway911,

It's a complex process that involves directing a sound wave into your eardrum, sensing fluctuations in air pressure, and then translating those fluctuations into an electrical signal that your brain can understand.

I don't pretend to know the specifics, and I don't have enough space here to recite the encyclopedia article on Hearing to you. I suggest that you ask a biologist or an otolaryngologist. Google might be faster.

Good luck, brave knowledge-seeker!

[sayway911]

Hey what gun did you use as point men?

[DarkGem2]

@sayway911,

Bizon.

[jarren97]

I LOL-ED xD

[pikachu20081]

When i play a match i notice sum players Switch weapons very fast and defuse at the same time.. Is it faster? or just a fancy way? xD

[DarkGem2]

@pikachu20081,

Defusing takes exactly 7.5 seconds. I doubt the developers would change that time just because you swap weapons while defusing.

[Iam4L4]

your good with the sako but im good with the hk416

[GuitarHeroRulez321]

I'm too aggressive and need to learn to chill out. My KDR always nears 1.0-1.5 because of my failtastic methods. Thanks for the tips.

[tuquanvinh]

Dude! :)) you abso. are a man with smartness and sense of humor. Thumbs up 4 all the vids of yours ive ever watched. I like "Duh, trying to prevent u from sprinting" =)) Nice guide btw

[ReverseOzmosis]

U MUST BE WALLHAXING

[NappiNappiNapalm]

great guide thanks alot for this!

[TheTurboTin]

Bizon ROCKZ i use it 2 i got Spetsnatz edition barrel and i cant remember other 2 things :D

[SubtleDemise]

is this game a lot like counter-strike? (where you die and stay dead the whole round)

[DarkGem2]

@SubtleDemise,

There are a couple different modes. Black Scent is a Demolition map, which is a lot like Counter-Strike, yes. Round-based, and with the bomb planting/defusing objective we all know and love.

But there are also Annihilation (Team Deathmatch with a twist) and Escort modes where you respawn after no longer than about 10 seconds -- often shorter.

Other game modes too. Some are even a little different than those.

[SubtleDemise]

@DarkGem2 Awesome. Looking forward to playing it. It's been patching for hours lol.

[MastaFPS]

You should make another video, I've watched this lots of times lol. Make another 1 for like other maps. :P

[MastaFPS]

Wait, I found out that my screen resolution normally on my computer is 1440 x 900, but my in game one is 1024 x 800 something o.o. But when I make my resolution higher than it starts getting laggy... Any ideas please?

[DarkGem2]

@MastaFPS,

Okay, so, your normal (desktop) resolution doesn't really matter beyond using what's right for you and your monitor. Setting it higher really shouldn't make anything slower (except on very very old computers).

Your game resolution is 90% dependent on your hardware. Upgrading your processor, RAM, and/or video card would help reduce framerate lag due to high resolutions. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot you can do that'll make any real difference.

[MastaFPS]

whats your screen size resolution? I want to make mine bigger but it makes the game more laggy. right now my size is 1000 something x 800 something. :)

[DarkGem2]

@MastaFPS,

I use 1280x960, but no resolution is strictly better than another. It's all about what your computer can handle, and what you're personally comfortable with.

[MastaFPS]

@DarkGem2

Okay, lol. My computer is from 2006 and is still pretty fast but my screen resolution can't be that big because it will lag. But my computer is still very good at my regular resolution. I just want it bigger so I can see more area, (Sides).

[BodyX93]

you're good at this man XD but i never heard of this game though , but im onna buy it next time

[DarkGem2]

@BodyX93,

It's free. You don't need to buy it.

[mrAdriot]

Bonk

[waterman159]

Nice! I really like this. Rushing is a good idea although if you've got good reflex.

Thanks for all the tips...I was doing quite bad. S/D=1.4

[eriktheg500]

Hey, at 6:35 when you heard the footsteps, how did you know that he was at the far side of sniper alley instead of upstairs to your left? I mean, at first i didn't read what you wrote on the note thing, and figured i hear him upstairs to my left, not at far side left.

[DarkGem2]

@eriktheg500,

Because of the map layout. If he was upstairs, there is only one doorway to walk through, and even with $20 headphones and basic sound card, I think it would have clearly sounded like he was coming from exactly left.

The sound I hear on that part is more "forward". It can be heard in both ears, and is very distant. What's your speaker setup like, or do you use headphones...?

[MastaFPS]

Nice Video!

What gun should I use? M4A1 or AK-47? And should I burst quickly like you did or click click click?

[DarkGem2]

@MastaFPS,

Both guns are very good choices. The M4A1 has somewhat low damage per shot, but is very accurate and stable for a rifle and has great versatility. The AK-47 is strong, but you'll need to burst.

Now... for the Sako, you see me doing 2-shot bursts in this video. It works well at mid or long range. Single shots are kind of unnecessary except at extreme ranges. I only single click for the G36 (if I steal one off the floor).

[Lepretr0n]

People must call hax on you all the time

[DarkGem2]

@Lepretr0n,

Oh yes. Constantly. I also sometimes get called a hacker for my S/D ratio, even when they haven't actually seen me play yet. And that just doesn't make any sense.

[sunnyd9066]

hey i like spraying but i dont like controling my spray so what is better for that p90 or bizon plz tell me. and if i do buy bizon what mods do put on it

[DarkGem2]

@sunnyd9066,

Everyone's got their own favorite gun. I think the Bizon is by far the best, especially if modded with Burst Barrel, Custom Cylinder, and 9mm Magazine.

You can see in the video, it can tear people to shreds at short range, and is very stable. Not to mention the 53-round magazine.

[Miguelito0950]

Nice vid 5 stars the thing thy I do is run with my walther up the stairs nade the Woden planks and flack them or just shot down at them

[you54222]

You're very skillful, man do I envy you. Sadly, I was banned on Combat Arms (Legit), and resorted to this game. Keep those videos up, they're resourceful, although I'd probably play my Xbox if I die consistently.

[NeverDarktide]

Great tips. Your videos got me interested in AVA and it's a great game (for being free, holy crap).

Only thing I've noticed is that people really like to throw grenades on the first rush you showed. :(

[DarkGem2]

@NeverDarktide,

Yeah, it is something of a concern, especially if you're talking about players who throw grenades over the buildings. But with maxed Pointman skills and a good spawn location, you can usually outrun them.

[coolcat619]

it did help me alot :) thnx m8 :)

imma subscribe :P

[DarkGem2]

@coolcat619,

Hey, glad to help. :)

Keep on fragging.

[coolcat619]

@DarkGem2

i havent played this map be4 but it looks like a cool one... :P

u know a good way 2 rank up?

and whats the best pointman rifle?

[DarkGem2]

@coolcat619,

If you're just looking to rank up, play Escort and get as many points as possible. That means be very aggressive, use rockets, or repair the tank a lot.

If you can, take the Peanut Labs surveys for free G coins and get an XP+ item.

For pointman, the only gun I like is the Bizon. Customize it with burst barrel, recoil control stock, and 9mm ammo. It's incredibly stable and has 53 shots. Nothing else really matches it. But everyone prefers something different.

[coolcat619]

@DarkGem2

yea i noticed that playing escort realy helps, and i cant take peanut labs surveys... i live in the EU... anyway i was thnking about buying the bizon. and i think ill buy it :P

anyway, thnx for your time, i have 2 go to bed now... maybe talk 2u 2morrow...
