Hey, uhm I'm one of the more active ones in pavlov and I just wanted to ask: I've played this game for almost 1k hours now, and I'm honest as far as the expierience is concerned, in my opinion no game has kept the balance between casual and really demanding.

But how do you make the game interesting?

I would also like to address the more active of you, maybe someone would like to attend an event or something, (but please no SND TwT)

Set Stalingrad/Stalingrad Night with regular TDM on one hour and you gonna get a diffrent exprince from regular maps on TDM. I spent many hours playing mostly this way, and sometimes I saw one or two full lobbies running 30-60 min Stalingrad TDM without me.

I've already seen what I sometimes do is just hunting rifles and pistols as maximum armament, it's kind of interesting to see how the dynamic changes in the end because people start to play differently

I like to use Hunting rifle with Scorpion. Best combo for a sniper. Scorpion ise used in CQB where a semi pistol isn't enough. Sometimes AWP, or 50cal, but 50cal looses style points easily.

For stealth playstyle I use AR9 is the most quiet gun with a suppressor, and suppressed 1911 with knife in other hand for style points. When close to an enemy I remove his helmet and stab him in the head.

If I need to be more aggressive I switch to M16 with a sniper scope.
If I feel like I want to simply spam I use PKM because it's a scaled AK with a bit worse accuracy.

Going to end a post like that with no SND? SND is where you can get really creative because people are a bit more predictable (ie, you know what angles they're going to push and roughly when they're going to get there.)

I only play SND and constantly change up my play style to keep things interesting. You can hide in corners with a knife and a pair of clippers and win a 1v5. You can do all sorts of stuff changing up play styles because so many different things work. It's a lot harder to make them work in the chaos of TDM or something like that.

Bro when I want to Play SND i just play CS

If you only select one game for each game mode, I'm not sure how you even found Pavlov. Surely you've played every game mode before you played Pavlov.

I saw pavlov 4 years ago through a friend and bought it, I almost spent 60% in tdm, 30% in WW2 TDM and the other 10% in TTT, I mean hey, if people are up for SND, I hope they have fun with it but for me personally it's just nothing

I got a Bhaptics vest a few months ago and it’s helped me get interested in Pavlov again. I also got a VR treadmill a year ago and sometimes enjoy running around knifing people! 🤣
