tf2 ranked is very sweaty

it's insanely sweaty

[sacred iron]

Which tf2

[charred quail]

team fortress

[sacred iron]

Gotcha

It only just got ranked?

[charred quail]

has been a while

but it's more polished now

[sacred iron]

I see

I think out of cs and siege I’d probably go for siege. I only play cs with friends in private matches and don’t find it too enjoyable

[charred quail]

you could also play cod ranked and hate yourself

mw2 ranked mode is the worst "shooter" I have ever played in my life

it follows the cod league's ruleset which bans all the weapons

there's one viable rifle, one viable smg, one allowed pistol

...

[timid kindle]

Overpowered

[charred quail]

banning the m4 from a modern warfare game

those CDL players are too stupid to use the default gun

[timid kindle]

[charred quail]

I think they even ban the AUG right

[timid kindle]

Idk I don’t play ranked

Lol

[elfin lark]

Did they ban having fun too?

[charred quail]

certainly

you have to play Control in ranked

[sacred iron]

I don’t even know how cod has a ranked mode

[charred quail]

it has search and destroy which functions like csgo lite

but ranked mode also includes hardpoint and control

really bad modes

it's annoying to play

[elfin lark]

You might want to forget again

[charred quail]

apparently you can change weapon chasises in mw3, turning regular guns into bullpup

should be interesting

[elfin lark]

That actually sounds interesting

I’m intrigued to see the gunsmith system

[charred quail]

yeah

that point firing feature is stupid

reverting the movement to mw19's movement, thus making it faster, but then adding another ads option which you have to toggle on or off with a different button

which slows the gameplay down...

cod doesn't need point firing

[sacred iron]

If it works how ready or not does it I can’t imagine it being too intrusive, but since engagements are going to be split seconds long I doubt anyone will bother switching modes when fighting someone

Plus if switching it during one ads then switches it for future ads as a toggle then you might toggle it for a situation you need, then for the next fight forget you toggled it and end up losing because of it

So at face value it sounds like people will only use it if they want to try and slowly clear something knowing the ranges they’ll be fighting from, which isn’t how cod works

[charred quail]

yeah exactly this

it doesn't fit the fast paced gameplay

[sacred iron]

And even if they made it so that ads will always properly ads then you have to toggle into this new mode, that wastes the milliseconds you’d need

So really in any implementation I can’t see it being useful for regular gunfights

[charred quail]

yup, literally no point switching between the modes and wasting the half second you probably need to survive

[sacred iron]

Funnily enough the only people I can see it being useful for are those who go for the clean house style milsim gameplay lol

[charred quail]

yeah I think it's a mechanic they added in for the story missions

and just brought it over to mp because they think it's cool

which it is cool

[sacred iron]

But pointless

[charred quail]

but just completely out of place

[sacred iron]

But ah well, if nobody uses it it won’t change anything

[charred quail]

yeah the same as slow walking in mw2, nobody knows it exists lmao

[sacred iron]

Well the speed of this stance seems somewhat more useful than slow walk, but it’s that time to activate and the spread that kills it

[dense kite]

NOW WAY

KINK MASTER!

@elfin lark

Oh

Nvm

Thought you were someone else

[elfin lark]

What?

Is there another kinkmancer i am unaware of?

[dense kite]

My uh my bad I know a guy named kink master and I thought I saw him here

[elfin lark]

Ah i see

[rocky grove]

@timid kindle if you have the weapons from Past Battle passes

Can you drop them in dmz so I can unlock them this weekend

[elfin lark]

Ah you need some bp weapons? Reckon i can do that sometime if ya need

Reckon i’m competent enough to do that

[rocky grove]

Yeah imma do some challenges to make it easy but uh

All weapons from S3 + I need

[timid kindle]

Can’t rn lmao

[rocky grove]

Just gonna put a list so I remember

And I said weekend

Not rn lol

[elfin lark]

Damn does the mdr put a bitch in the dirt in insurgency

Sure wish my character would feel some urgency in laying down though

[ocean oasis]

point the MDR the other way and drop to the dirt extra fast!

[onyx nest]

Bro went too hard

[indigo gyro]

Ohhhh another ak

[rocky grove]

I might of just tricked cod

Downloaded it on PC for the event

Decided eh re download on PS5

But I bought the BP on PC with my cod points but now on PS I suddenly have 1,500

thx activision

[elfin lark]

Banned

[rocky grove]

Nah I’ll use them

If I find a cool Army skin I like

[elfin lark]

Why would you decide to redownload it on 2 devices?

[rocky grove]

Cause yes

[elfin lark]

I see

[rocky grove]

And the Pc one was free

So no money wasted

[elfin lark]

Fair enough

[rare thorn]

I finished the Quad Courtyard on my Hogwarts Legacy build.

[elfin lark]

Well done

[rare thorn]

Bless

[elfin lark]

Yes?

[rare thorn]

I mean like:

[elfin lark]

Ah i see

Will this build be public when finished?

[rare thorn]

Yes

[timid kindle]

I did a thing

Pre ordered mw3

[elfin lark]

I can’t wait to hear about you deleting and redownloading it several times per week

[rocky grove]

Also @elfin lark @timid kindle uh uh

Shall we do raids as well

[elfin lark]

Fuck no

[rocky grove]

Or nah if not I can find some randoms

[elfin lark]

Never again

[rocky grove]

Ep 3 and 4 seems easy

1 and 2 where fuck all

[elfin lark]

I refuse to ever do a raid again

[rocky grove]

[elfin lark]

My pride was shot in the back of the head that day

[rocky grove]

Alright then
This weekend we do some dmz weapon drops

Then we can bully dmz missions

Deal?

[elfin lark]

Ah i was just gonna drop you some weapons then bugger off

[rocky grove]

Bugger off until MW3 zombies

[elfin lark]

Already doing the dmz missions with a friend of mine, hate to complete em without him

[rocky grove]

You can have a squad of 3

but alright

[elfin lark]

Ah yeah but mostly me we don’t much like playing with other people

But yeah i got 2 insured slots unlocked so just tell me your 2 most prioritized weapons you want unlocked

Checked and i appear to have everything unlocked

[rocky grove]

I’ll do some challenges before we game

To make it easy

Hipfire with pistols yeah that’s easy shipment 24/7

[elfin lark]

Which one is that for? The tec9?

[rocky grove]

Yeah

Some are easy

[timid kindle]

Raids lmao

[rocky grove]

Well I need to do Ep 3 and 4

4 seems easy tho it’s jumping hell to avoid trip wires

[stiff panther]

[lost kelp]

[dim trench]

Did anyone prepurchase mw3 yet

[timid kindle]

I did

Just now

Bro why is mw2 just called call if duty now 💀

How tf will you know what too install

[indigo gyro]

You search modern warfare III in steam and then it appears

[timid kindle]

Why can’t it be it’s own icon

[lucid ocean]

Yes

Activision owns me

[elfin lark]

Fools

[lucid ocean]

Jokes on you, I like to suffer

[elfin lark]

That’s good for you buddy

[timid kindle]

[lucid ocean]

Can’t wait for dogshit netcode

And rubberbanding

[elfin lark]

If it goes on a sale and i like the price i’ll get it, but i ain’t otherwise buying it

[rocky grove]

Not until I see zombies trailer reveal

[lucid ocean]

And kids screaming the most awful shit in voip

[lucid ocean]

Good lord Outbreak is a total W

If they do it well

[rocky grove]

That’s why I am waiting

If the reveal looks shit then 💤

[elfin lark]

Gotta say though the new shadow company event was really fun

I am curious if al mazarah will be any different after the season

[lucid ocean]

Observatory will stay blown ig

[elfin lark]

Cool cool i like that

Looking forward to more dmz maps

Want another huge ass map like al mazrah

Vondel is pretty nice though too

[rocky grove]

Wait a fucking min

@dim trench don’t you own the whole Mf MW store

[indigo gyro]

I wish all the war zone maps was available at once and we could choose the map we want to play

[rocky grove]

You have more active slots then MachineGewhr

Can you drop weapons

[elfin lark]

That is a great idea

[indigo gyro]

Game will be 500gb

[rocky grove]

No one asked you go back to dying in raids

https://tenor.com/view/neco-arc-gif-24168350

[elfin lark]

And i sure don’t plan on going back

[rocky grove]

You will

[elfin lark]

So what weapons do you want by the way? I was just planning on dropping them and leaving

[rocky grove]

I have to check the challenges

[elfin lark]

Aye aye

[rocky grove]

Whatever ones are easy I’ll just do

[elfin lark]

I rather shove my pecker in a hornets nest

[rocky grove]

You love hornets whatthehell

Wtf?

Who would have guessed?

[lost kelp]

I'm disappointed in ya

[elfin lark]

As am i

[elfin lark]

Well done

[dim trench]

THANKS BUD

[summer furnace]

wow how's the game like

plays good?

[dim trench]

i just feel like

[austere sonnet]

I miss green

Y no green

[indigo gyro]

BLUE MW
GREEN MIIW
RED MIIIW

[austere sonnet]

How about MIIIIW and MIIIIIW

[lost kelp]

MW4 Be piss colour

[summer furnace]

rgb looking filter

[indigo gyro]

Upcoming

Games

Neon pink will be best

A cod with anime art style

Every bundle is anime bundle

[summer furnace]

apocalyptic

[lost kelp]

Epileptic

[indigo gyro]

I like that opinion

Need for speed unbound has that graffiti cel shading art style and it loooks sooo good

[indigo gyro]

12 M in 15 hours ⌛

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[sacred iron]

Goodness me

[indigo gyro]

I will be sad if they will remove dolphin dive and ledge hanging
But I don't think MIIIW has dolphin dive because in movement they didn't mentioned it maybe it is present

[sacred iron]

I reckon they will carry it over

Ledge hanging is pretty neat and diving is rather niche

[summer furnace]

diving and sliding need shooting during them

[sacred iron]

Yeah shooting while sliding is coming back

But you can’t ads during it

It’s just this canted cringe-stance

[charred quail]

fighting against slide spammers is going to be so annoying

[indigo gyro]

You can ads while sliding it requires a perk this time that's what I heard from youtubers

[next rapids]

lmfao them detonating c4 underwater

all of them would've been fucking liquefied

silly cod

[sacred iron]

Ah okay then

[next rapids]

cool trailer

i thought it wouldn't have a campaign

[indigo gyro]

I am happy that no campaign rumor is not true

[sacred iron]

If there wasn’t a campaign then it would basically be a patch to mw2 with remastered maps

Would go down worse than it is already

[next rapids]

yeah that's what everyone assumed it was

thankfully they're not that dumb

[indigo gyro]

I am surprised that this gameplay trailer is positive

[next rapids]

might actually get it now that it has a campaign and a bunch of stupid iw decisions were reverted

[sacred iron]

I still think it’s stupid that one of its main selling points is reverting changes made to the last game

That’s some fifa type stuff right there

[indigo gyro]

One trailer is negative

[sacred iron]

The only reason I can see to play it is for the nostalgia of playing old maps as well as the campaign

[next rapids]

yeah it's dumb

i'll probably wait for a sale to get it

but i will get it

since it'll actually be a good game now

[sacred iron]

I guess they looked at mw2 and just tried to play it safe

But it still feels like it’s purely the campaign that constitutes that price point

[lost kelp]

Only 31?

Should be higher

Make it like IW trailer

[indigo gyro]

IW trailer isn't bad at all tbh it's better than MIIIW trailer imo

[next rapids]

iw trailer was really good people were just crying because they didn't want exo suits anymore

and wah wah gonna hit the dislike button

[indigo gyro]

Because of continuous jet pack call or duty players were tired and wanted a boots on the ground experience but IW wasn't what players wanted at that time that's the reason why it got that much hate

[sacred iron]

The jet pack cods are the only ones I’ve actually played

Even though it was only a few hours each

[indigo gyro]

Next treyarch game i wish it was BOV with jetpack but according to rumours it doesn't

[rocky grove]

@ me when the zombies reveal comes out

[sacred iron]

Well I remember after mw2 came out people said the next cod would be AW2, but that kind of vanished

[latent moat]

It's a game set in the gulf war

[indigo gyro]

Yeah that's the rumour

But I want BOIII type game

Respawn also not doing it

[latent moat]

BOIII felt like the best of the futuristic cods

[indigo gyro]

Neither Cod devs

[summer furnace]

future seems pointless when modern day guns are good enough

[indigo gyro]

Bro

Cod came in 2003 if every cod will do modern setting it will become boring

[sacred iron]

Mixing it up is nice

[indigo gyro]

This past , present and future is the perfect mix up

[sacred iron]

But it gets annoying when like battlefield, the modern title doesn’t do too well and then the next one could be something historical and you miss out on that dream modern title

[indigo gyro]

Don't tell me next one is WIIW

[sacred iron]

Nobody knows

[indigo gyro]

[sacred iron]

I’m hoping for a modern one done right but it depends on whether dice want to do a 180 pivot and go back to a historical setting or try again with modern after what they’ve learnt with 2042

[summer furnace]

bf should go the current mw route and not set it in near future

prototypes are so corny to me

[sacred iron]

My major gripe with future settings is how most of the gadgets are just blatantly overpowered

Usually boiling down to drones, active camo, seeing through walls etc

[summer furnace]

a purely modern setting would still have a solid variety
without the anachronistic prototypes to worry about

[sacred iron]

Indeed

I like the vehicles we have access to, the weapons too, overall it allows for fun gameplay without being annoying

If we get Ranger: the battlefield game id go mad

[indigo gyro]

But bro

Ranger is my favorite specialist

I want other models of ranger

[indigo gyro]

Doom

[ripe pike]

Some of them look ok and some of them make me want to vomit

[indigo gyro]

I don't know majority of them

[indigo gyro]

I am marking the one which I know

[summer furnace]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=DuPoe1l1ds0&feature=share9

[ripe pike]

What do you mean by marking

[indigo gyro]

I know them

[ripe pike]

Ho

[indigo gyro]

M4 with pistol ammo

That colt model 635

😵‍💫

[ripe pike]

This one is horrible

[indigo gyro]

That r s h 12 reminds me maestro pistol that he uses in siege

[ripe pike]

Yeah or the destiny pistol

Overall I'm deceived by guns list

It looks like they stole half the guns from BF2042 itself

MCX Spear, Avancys, Stryker 45...

[next rapids]

damn they got the mcx spear

[indigo gyro]

This is rumour list kato not real

[summer furnace]

boohoo prototypes
couldn't they wait next year for that weapon

if it's accepted or rejected

[timid kindle]

Wait

Will there be RPGs in game

I don’t see a launcher

[ripe pike]

No

[timid kindle]

gotta give Russians their favorite missile

Bruh

[ripe pike]

[timid kindle]

The OG had an RPG

this one better too

[ripe pike]

I was joking it's probably gonna get one but probably the same as MW2 too

[charred quail]

riot shield is still a thing in mw3

[austere sonnet]

hear me out season 3 for rpg

[ripe pike]

What do you mean ?

[austere sonnet]

Idk rpg will be in season 2 to unlock it

[ripe pike]

Ha maybe

[ripe pike]

That wouldn't surprise me much

[charred quail]

call of gimps

[ripe pike]

Dude idk how you can okay that game that much

[charred quail]

[austere sonnet]

Tf is that skin

[ripe pike]

The skins themselves would make me freak out after 30 minutes in

[charred quail]

I'm almost done with the battlepass

[charred quail]

they are all carrying over to mw3 at launch

you can't even have that moment of serenity like during mw2's launch anymore

[ripe pike]

Yeah that's one of the main reasons why I won't buy MW3 lol

[charred quail]

I'm waiting for my code from activision

[timid kindle]

The call of duty app on console is so pointless

I hate how it’s just now call of duty

Instead of mw2

[indigo gyro]

But crabs spear and stryker is already present in MW19

[timid kindle]

That bugs me

It really does

I legit have too click on call of duty just to install the game

[austere sonnet]

Hear me out
Call of duty 2024

[timid kindle]

Mw3 isn’t even it’s own app

[austere sonnet]

Cod24k

[timid kindle]

[ripe pike]

Ok for stryker but I never saw Spear in MW2019

[indigo gyro]

https://youtu.be/qCF9ReM2ERI

Then there is sig in miiw also

[indigo gyro]

I searched again there is no spear but different guns from sig

[ripe pike]

Yeah I was surprised lol

[indigo gyro]

I don't know how people can know which one is ak 74 and which one is 47 same with 103, 102 , 105

[charred quail]

fucking ridiculous lol

fuck UE5

[lost kelp]

Kek

[charred quail]

DLSS and FSR are on by default too

[lost kelp]

Greatest engine in the world

Second best is Unity

[charred quail]

[sacred iron]

I don’t get the need to bundle it all into one software

[charred quail]

corpo strategy, they want to maximize sales

[sacred iron]

If it’s like how it was done before then it would eventually get too cluttered and probably end up being a hassle for the devs

[charred quail]

1. bundle games together to maximize advertisement space
2. each game takes 2/3 of your storage so you don't have space for other franchise, which makes you more inclined to purchase mtx

[ripe pike]

AK-74 has a different barrel and handguard I think

[sacred iron]

I don’t assume it’s file size is intentional, the size of the mw games alone deter me from wanting to install them

[charred quail]

cod fans will install them anyways and then can't install anything else

mw19 got to like 300gb and cold war 200gb at one point

it's definitely intentional

[indigo gyro]

It's difficult to me all looks same

[sacred iron]

I mean you’ve got that stat that shows that 70 something % spent all their time playing only cod

So for them it wouldn’t matter

But as are most things in cod it just seems like unnecessary busy work

But if they want to do it, so be it

[charred quail]

yeah it's definitely one of the things they do to squeeze out the most shekels from us

[ripe pike]

Yeah I understand but I like it when you get access to a large variety of guns in a game

[charred quail]

remember that they patented another match making system besides SBMM

[indigo gyro]

There will be a lot of guns in MIIIW bro

[charred quail]

which match makes you with lower skill enemies if you buy more mtx

so it's literally skin = win

[ripe pike]

I want proofs

Like bro

M4 is the same

[sacred iron]

I want someone to actually prove that that’s a thing, just out of curiosity

[ripe pike]

And it's not even some M4

SCAR is the same

[charred quail]

activision said they didn't implement it in mw19 when the patent was leaked

[indigo gyro]

MIIIW will have it's all new guns and then we will have MIIW guns so we will have a lot of weapons crabs

[charred quail]

but that's what they said, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it anyways

[ripe pike]

Yeah the trailer kinda says the opposite though for the moment

I wait to see but it's gonna be same guns for many of them I think

[charred quail]

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/10/activisions-patented-method-to-drive-microtransactions-with-matchmaking/#:~:text=Patent %239789406%2C for a " System and method,to encourage players to purchase additional in-game items.

patent number is public so you can look it up

[sacred iron]

Well they also said mw2 would have a 2 year cycle before the next game so

[indigo gyro]

Crabs it's a trailer man

Wait

A

Little

Bit

More

[ripe pike]

When is next trailer ?

[sacred iron]

Probably for the beta

[indigo gyro]

I can't tell you about this

[charred quail]

said during their earning call so not public information, technically not false advertising

[sacred iron]

To be fair investor calls are always just to sound like you know what you are doing and get people to put money into it so most of it is exaggerated or straight up incorrect

[ripe pike]

I don't expect anything from this game anyway, MW2 was the most disappointing game for me right after BF2042 so I won't buy this one, I actually learned the lesson

[sacred iron]

Good

Anyone who buys it and says it was a cheap cash grab is at fault

Just watch and if you like everything there is at launch, go for it I guess

[charred quail]

mw2's initial sale was good but player retention was terrible, it lost like 80% of the playerbase after the first week, so they had another call and had to "correct" their statement regarding mw2's life cycle

[sacred iron]

My rule of thumb is only ever consider buying something based on the state it’s in at that moment, not what it could be or what it’s roadmap says. Simple but people still forget that

[sacred iron]

Yeah I’d heard about it’s player retention being poor. Good initial sales but people were leaving left right and centre

[ripe pike]

MW2 fooled me, it was fun at launch and became shit after 2 months, MW3 looks like shit so I won't buy it but I'm probably gonna make fun of all morons who buy it to cry about it right after lol

[sacred iron]

Oh yeah for sure

[charred quail]

I'm buying it

[sacred iron]

You have to teach people to think critically before blindly buying into false promises

[charred quail]

not paying 100 bucks tho

[ripe pike]

Why bro

[charred quail]

I can get it for 20 euro, why not

[indigo gyro]

There is just 1 thing that I don't like in miiw
I can't shoot while sliding and dolphin diving

[charred quail]

I'm waiting for activision to send me the code

[ripe pike]

Ho then

[sacred iron]

Apparently warzone is getting the same mechanical changes so you could just play that for free

[charred quail]

warzone is the worst part of cod tho

lol

[ripe pike]

There's 100 things I don't like in MW2 and it's none of those 2 things you just cited

[indigo gyro]

What you dislike bro

[charred quail]

treyarch's cod is also on iw9 engine, god I hope it's not dogshit

[sacred iron]

The engine won’t always determine how it feels, that just boils down to how it’s made

[charred quail]

@ripe pike

[ripe pike]

Gameplay, launch maps, cringe gun customization, movements, community tryharders, main menu, matchmaking and I fucking hate all the skins

[ripe pike]

LMAOOOOOO

[charred quail]

knowing their rushed development cycle I doubt they could change much regarding game feel. Cold war was made using the black ops 2 engine, which is why people like that game so much

[sacred iron]

The main things I dislike are most of the gadgets, grenades, killstreaks, weapon mechanics, movement potential, monetisation, so basically the whole game lol

[charred quail]

they have something good with mw2 but then counter themselves with a lot of dogshit

fucking blackcell...

[indigo gyro]

What is wrong in movement you want slide canceling too?

[sacred iron]

What’s that?

[charred quail]

30$ battlepass and what's extra scummy is that you can't use cod point to purchase it

can't upgrade to it from a regular battlepass which can be bought with your free cod point

[sacred iron]

Isn’t the whole point to be able to buy future passes with currency from that pass

That’s like one of the major draws

[charred quail]

yeah and blackcell completely negates that

[sacred iron]

Wait so blackcell is the premium branch of the pass?

[charred quail]

yup

[ripe pike]

Nah I want no slide at all lmao

[charred quail]

Premium Premium battlepass

[sacred iron]

I don’t quite get the reasoning there

One of the main draws to the passes is how if you play a lot you can get the next one for free or at least cheaper

[charred quail]

you pay 10$ or like 800 sth cod point for the regular battlepass or you pay 30$ for the blackcell version which gives you some skins and tier skips

[indigo gyro]

But sliding is cool crabs

[charred quail]

but you can't upgrade from the regular pass to blackcell using cod point

you have to pay real money

[sacred iron]

Ah so you don’t actually need to buy blackcell, it’s just one of those pass bundles

So you can get the premium pass for in game currency then

[ripe pike]

Yeah maybe I'm a bit too extreme, I like the ability to slide but it has to be balanced, sliding for too long or being able to make fucking skate figures while sliding isn't normal for a FPS game

Is it COD games or it's fucking Skate games over there ?

[sacred iron]

Get rid of slide and bring back bf4 air strafe :>

[indigo gyro]

Don't bring anything from bf4

Just Shanghai

[summer furnace]

lesser techniques but faster movement >

[ripe pike]

You got an obsession with this map

[sacred iron]

Slide cancelling is just a gimmick anyway, it’s hardly a movement tech

It’s like saying crouch spamming is a movement tech

[indigo gyro]

I like that place

[charred quail]

it's an exploit

should have been removed completely

bringing it back because they can't figure out how to organically make movement faster is

[cobalt spade]

https://youtube.com/shorts/XKw77TYkgV0?feature=share

[indigo gyro]

It's a feature

Now

[ripe pike]

I like it too but we'll never see it again

[sacred iron]

Yeah it’s a feature, just one that is so simple it’s hardly even something I’d consider a movement tech

[indigo gyro]

Bro

[shut wigeon]

Do not preorder mw3

[indigo gyro]

It's a feature

[indigo gyro]

Why

[timid kindle]

I already did

[shut wigeon]

Cos Activision sucks

[indigo gyro]

Fact

[shut wigeon]

It’s also just a rebranded mw2

[timid kindle]

Idc

My money

[lost kelp]

I couldn't believe z0r be one that'll say this shit

[shut wigeon]

Also the trailer looked like a 360 trailer

Heavy rain making everything look shiny

[indigo gyro]

Man trailer looks 🔥

[shut wigeon]

Doesn’t

[timid kindle]

Bros prob watching it j 400p

[shut wigeon]

Looks fake

[indigo gyro]

I don't know what you talking about

[shut wigeon]

Stone walls don’t get that shiny

[indigo gyro]

It's a video game

[shut wigeon]

You know gta 5 mods ? All the super realistic mods have wet roads to make them look “better” but actually it’s now become a joke

[timid kindle]

Well GTA sucks in general

Terrible game

[lost kelp]

Nice joke

[timid kindle]

It does

Bro supports shark cards

Pay to win game

[lost kelp]

Bro said GTA and talks about online

[timid kindle]

The story sucks too

GTA 5 at least

Red dead does it better in every way

Not red dead 2 that online is

[lucid ocean]

Preorder mw3

The overlords demand it

[timid kindle]

I already did

[lucid ocean]

Wise man

[lost kelp]

I'm sorry, but this sounds like a "YouTuber told you that" opinion

[timid kindle]

I meant gta 5 mostly

The rhino tank was so bad

[lost kelp]

Realistically i kinda agree on this

[lucid ocean]

Now I gotta go use the mw3 preorder gun

[timid kindle]

I don’t like switching characters

Should be one main like 4

[lucid ocean]

GTA 6 be like

[lost kelp]

2 characters instead of 3

[timid kindle]

Yea ik that’s why I’m not happy

GTA 6

Lol

Better be on gamepass

[lucid ocean]

Game looked good for the stage it was in

People were hating without taking into account it was an in-dev build

Lmao

[charred quail]

it's gta so it's going to be good

gta 5 story was bad but it's still good because it's just a big ass sandbox to mess around in

[lucid ocean]

They’d better avoid making it be CPU bound this fuckin time

[summer furnace]

I will leak an unfinished build and call the game unfinished

[charred quail]

[lost kelp]

My main gripe with GTA 6 is that, i fear it will be like gta 5 but better looking

[lucid ocean]

The sheer shock

[charred quail]

it probably is gta 5 but better looking

[lucid ocean]

The engine looked to be so much more than 5

Also they bought the FiveM team

Smart move really

[lost kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/yee_yee-yee-yee-ass-haircut-yee-yeee-haircut-gif-25190779

[charred quail]

I think it's very likely they will want to continue gta online, I don't know if they will do a gta online 2 or pull a warzone move

[sacred iron]

Trailers are meant to be over exaggerated, i wouldn’t judge the quality based off the trailer

[lucid ocean]

Monetise rp, which people were doing for free

[summer furnace]

gta online is separately bought but not free though

[lucid ocean]

I meant that the RP part used to be free

Now it won’t

So, smart business tbh

[lost kelp]

I want it kinda be its own thing not to look like gta 5

[charred quail]

it will look prettier for sure

[lucid ocean]

From the looks of it, it ain’t like 5

[charred quail]

gameplay wise I don't think they can do much?

[lucid ocean]

Cops also remember you holy shit

[charred quail]

it's either gta 5 or san andreas

[lucid ocean]

They already did tbh

[charred quail]

oh

[lucid ocean]

Cover system, really good IK on player and NPC’s

Way bigger map

Shitloads of activities

Also saw the driving and car destruction to be similar to GTA 4

[lucid ocean]

Btw in the leaked build you could adjust your steering wheel position

Just like irl lmao

[charred quail]

1:1 scale map with multiple cities would be great. Even with loading screen

[lost kelp]

Cars look like 5 and feeling of it reminds me 5

[charred quail]

the scale in gta 5 is so fucked it's goofy

[lucid ocean]

They were early assets tbh

Just keep that in mind

[lost kelp]

True

[lucid ocean]

Some npcs were literal blobs

Stuck together to create a mockup model

[charred quail]

when can we expect gta 6, late 2024?

[lucid ocean]

I’d say 2025 tbh

Safe bet at least

[charred quail]

hopefully none of that console exclusive bs

[lost kelp]

I think they'll launch it on Christmas

You know the sales and shit

[lucid ocean]

For the scale gta 6 seems to have console exclusivity would be dumb as shit

[sacred iron]

Oh most definitely

[summer furnace]

I don't understand the wait for gta though
there are plenty of other games to play that launch earlier
and when gta returns it'll sweep them all in sales

[charred quail]

Control 2 should also be out during 2025

Max Payne reboot/remades too

[lost kelp]

Max Payne reboot?

[charred quail]

more like remastered?

Alan Wake 2 is going to slap so hard

[lucid ocean]

Reveal event was so fucking good for mw3

Pog trailer

[sacred iron]

The trailer visually was one of the best I’ve seen

The underwater bits remind me of splinter cell

[ripe pike]

Opposite for me, the campaign trailer felt so bland and basic, you just see the Verdansk prison for 2 minutes, it almost looks like they hadn't enough time to make a proper announcement

[timid kindle]

It’s only gonna be in campaign

Ppl think it’s gonna be in warzone

💀

[charred quail]

3-hour campaign let's goooo

[lost kelp]

What?

[charred quail]

[next rapids]

oh yes

[lost kelp]

Tasty

[charred quail]

fireball is sick

[lost kelp]

Im currently playing bard shit talking build

[charred quail]

[lost kelp]

The debuffs are real good

[charred quail]

I ditched my mage char for a Paladin char

Paladin is OP

[lost kelp]

Nerd ass paladin builds

[indigo gyro]

Tuesday

[lost kelp]

Crimson desert

[sacred iron]

Is it just another trailer or will there be actual gameplay showcases

[lost kelp]

Black Desert dlc

[indigo gyro]

Actual gameplay showcase

[ripe pike]

There's also Delta Force trailer on Tuesday

[indigo gyro]

I never played Delta Force

Looks interesting

[ripe pike]

Me neither but it looks good for now

Wait

https://youtu.be/0SWMqANp8T0?si=-JqWaX38bgEvdYQP

[indigo gyro]

I saw it

[charred quail]

lol a new delta force game?

how long has it been

like 20 years?

[tribal crypt]

another fps game with shitty shooting and movement mechanics

[sacred iron]

What is it

First I’ve heard of it

[ripe pike]

I didn't know what Delta was but I'm probably buying that shit

It looks good

[charred quail]

you probably shouldn't buy it

[ripe pike]

New FPS game from a franchise that existed like 20 years ago lol

[charred quail]

delta force games weren't good before

[ripe pike]

Ho

[tribal crypt]

e

[charred quail]

[sacred iron]

I guess I’ll have to wait for the gameplay to come out

[timid kindle]

Ooooo it’s coming to Xbox

Bet

[ripe pike]

Yeah coming to PS too

[timid kindle]

Sadly I only have an Xbox and pc

[summer furnace]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=WD86NvY2IRs&feature=share9

[charred quail]

jeez, activision lost 13 millions cod players compared to 3 months ago

[ripe pike]

Opposite for me I got a PS5 and a PC

[summer furnace]

@charred quail https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-activision-blizzard-q1-2023-report-reveals-massive-drop-player-count

early this year*

[charred quail]

right

big oof

13 mil for activision and 18 mil for blizzard

lmao

[indigo gyro]

Wait few months

Many will return

[tribal crypt]

for a few weeks

[indigo gyro]

For 2042 sadly nobody returns

People hate this game but there is something about it that they keep on playing it
And it always stays in top ten even after I don't know how many players left
it's amazing

[ripe pike]

Yeah but when you see what people think of that game it's not that good

[indigo gyro]

It's great

[summer furnace]

the series is just big in general

[indigo gyro]

Sad man Black OPS man leaving

[tribal crypt]

about time

[indigo gyro]

18 years is amazing

[stiff panther]

why? did he do something wrong with COD? (genuinely curious, i've no idea about the people behind the games lol)

[tribal crypt]

hes said he wanted to quit a long time ago

or move on rather

[stiff panther]

ohh

alright

[ripe pike]

I wouldn't say that

[indigo gyro]

Personal opinion

It was always good

Sad content is very slow

[ripe pike]

I mean a lot of people don't like MW2 currently because of hacking and a lot of other issues

[timid kindle]

Sons of the forest sucks

Idk why they made that game

So boring

There’s no shooting

[dim trench]

tryin to remember why i didnt like halo infinite

i think time to kill was super long fo rme, while seemlingly short for everyone else. i constantly died while having to load multiple clips into others

[indigo gyro]

And a lot of people like it too

[indigo gyro]

I have never played it sliverrr

[sacred iron]

infinite was a lot of fun, I feel like the reason people didn't like it was purely it's content delivery post launch

the game itself was solid

[charred quail]

game is fine but the servers don't work and the mtx is horrible

[indigo gyro]

I stopped playing because I just can't wait 8-10 minutes for every match making

It's painful

But it was really fun

Sad halov isn't on pc

Could have been fun in 120 fov

[timid kindle]

Game finally coming out

Lol

[lucid ocean]

They got pushed back when they had to flee the country

[hushed juniper]

Most likely, like most game devs and people who work in any industry, their interest is somewhere else now

and some move on to something like

the advantage of being a dev is this particular thing you dont see much around. If you dont like that industry you can always move to another industry and still do what you like to do

18 years is a long time in one place and got give him huge kudos for that. Many dont stay more than 5 years at best in teh same comapny

[indigo gyro]

Development of stalker ii is very sad
It suffered a lot
Cancellation
Covid
War (some of them died)
Cyber attacks

Also they moved to Prague to develop the game

It was on ueiiii then they updated it to uev I don't know how much difficult or time taking it is

[timid kindle]

Some devs died wtf

[indigo gyro]

Yeah man

[timid kindle]

@rocky grove

[summer furnace]

made by treyarch again?

[timid kindle]

🤷‍♂️

Sounds complicated

Plus there an hour and an Easter egg

Like wtf

[indigo gyro]

This is what I think
It will be like dmz but this time you have zombies to kill and there will be bosses and you have to extract alive, you can't do pvp it's pve, map will be giant like al mazrah maybe it will be on same war zone map that will also be the zombies map

I hope game will have dmz

It will be nice to have br, dmz, zombies, plunder all together

😵‍💫

[timid kindle]

I think the zombies is the dmz mode

[charred quail]

they didn't mention anything about dmz, so I guess it will be abandoned like hazard zone

[spark oxide]

Assassin's Creed Origins is legit

[indigo gyro]

Yeah before it was EFT now it is HUNT SHOWDOWN

[indigo gyro]

Need to wait a bit for war zone news
Multi and zombies they talked about last blog has nothing about war zone and dmz

On Tuesday they will show campaign gameplay like dark water I think

[summer furnace]

inb4 makarov survives for warzone

[indigo gyro]

Makarov weakness is rope

[charred quail]

he definitely will

[stiff panther]

like Graves

[indigo gyro]

I am happy that he is back because I actually liked graves he is cool

Voice actor is great

[elfin lark]

I feel it is already implied makarov will be an operator

Judging by the vault pic

[stiff panther]

I don't like that they 'revived' him for the story, but yeah, I really like his character

I like playing him in MP 😄

[indigo gyro]

They never killed him

Keep Trey unique and not identical to IW or Sledge please

identical to IW 🤔 https://youtube.com/watch?v=_EPz-jFndx8&t=85&feature=share9

[ripe pike]

Yeah but that doesn't mean it's good, like people appreciate BF2042 for example while it's not that good in reality

[timid kindle]

I love and hate bf

Lmao

[ripe pike]

Same for me, that's what I'm trying to explain to Dududu but you got it before him

[elfin lark]

I like dmz though

Having a combination of dmz and zombies would be cool though

I suspect if verdansk becomes a dmz map it will have pockets of zombies

[timid kindle]

I didn’t mind dmz

But sometimes you got those try hards

personally i am using a mod that removes all females. only hot gay sex in my game

[elfin lark]

Nothing ruins my games like having women politics pushed into my games

[austere sonnet]

Femboys over women

[elfin lark]

Not masculine enough

I want a big ripped black guy to cuddle me ingame and tell me it will be alright

[indigo gyro]

It isn't bad man

[elfin lark]

Ehhh i wouldn’t exactly call 2042 good

[onyx nest]

stick on stick action

bigger sword wins

[elfin lark]

En garde

I be pulling up to that sword fight with a dagger

[lost kelp]

I wish y'all got a warn for this

[elfin lark]

If we got warned for this then we’d get banned for all the other shit we’ve said

[weak hornet]

I think I'll abstain providing what type of weapon I have in my arsenal

[elfin lark]

Biological?

[indigo gyro]

Waiting for 30m

Maybe 2-3 days more or 1 week

[weak hornet]

I abstain

[dim trench]

they still got that aimbot device for consoles?

i read it was mostly blocked but dunno. turned around the corner and dmz and some guy from like 300ft away was sniping me with rifle, but was on xbox

[rocky grove]

Zombies surviving nukes

Nuh uh

[elfin lark]

Eeeexactly

Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?

[rocky grove]

No way

2 Brits fighting

[weak hornet]

Why does the guy on the right acting like this?

[dim trench]

some limited time clothing in rdo. just had to buy every variaton of the limited itme vest

[elfin lark]

Sure wish they’d give us some new content

[dim trench]

they added new telegram missions

i was surprised they even did that or added limited time clothing. its been a long time since they've even did simple stuff like that

its nice logging back into the game tho. always forget how beautiful it is

[summer furnace]

limited time 😡

[elfin lark]

Aye i used to do a shit ton if photography in rdo

Pretty much the only game i’ve gone out of my way to try and find nice shots

[rocky grove]

Cool but still need Zombies reveal trailer

[dim trench]

i mwaiting for them to add back the coats i want

i like putting on apodcast, loading up rdo, and just hunting animals or farming gold

i miss playin with others in rdo. i've had it on private sessions forever. everytime i join a public one its just all players from china and most are hacking

[elfin lark]

Aye i remember the beta days when you could see where everyone was. I think it was a good call getting rid of that but it sure did make the world seem more lonely

[summer furnace]

it doesn't make sense, how come gta online still has that

[elfin lark]

Well in gta mass violence is expected and encouraged

[summer furnace]

I'd rather that in rdo over nothingness

something fun to watch

[elfin lark]

Just pop into valentine

If there are players you will probably find some in valentine

Done plenty of people watching in that town

[summer furnace]

yes I did many times

[elfin lark]

What a town eh

[summer furnace]

[elfin lark]

Miss my lemats

Those babies won my a lotta gun fights

Was pretty rusty last i played though, can’t imagine i’d be very impressive now

Maxed out gunslinger is a hell of a card i tell ya

18 rounds + 2 shotgun shells packs a punch

[summer furnace]

playing with no lock-on offers more freedom even if it's hard

[elfin lark]

Oh i tried but just ain’t for me

Rockstar doesn’t have smooth enough gunplay for that

Tis why they have the stupid strong auto aim lol

[charred quail]

Fake news

Also, just use fsr

[sacred iron]

Wait is that auto lock on the online mode aswell?

[elfin lark]

Yep

[indigo gyro]

[elfin lark]

Really do wish rockstar would make their movement n shit better

[sacred iron]

Dang how can you even play against that

[elfin lark]

Like ghost recon breakpoint isn’t exactly the greatest game but it sure does feel better than rdr2

[charred quail]

you set your opponent on fire using a cheat

[indigo gyro]

Fix heli man if you want to play cowboy fps
Play
Hunt Showdown

[elfin lark]

I would like rockstar to make their movement and gunplay more like that

[sacred iron]

Breakpoint’s movement feels awful especially coming from wildlands

That kind of reduced rotation speed and input delay doesn’t work well in a shooter environment

[elfin lark]

Oh i don’t think it is the greatest but i do think it is a hell of a lot better than rdr2’s

Rockstar’s extreme autoaim is nothing but a crutch for its poor movement and gunplay system

[sacred iron]

And while I never played rdr online, rdr2’s movement worked for what kind of game it was, but I can’t imagine it being particularly intuitive when you are in an online environment where shootouts happen

[elfin lark]

Rockstars system works, make no mistake, but in my opinion it is just not super great

[sacred iron]

I just assumed the auto aim was so that they could sell the game to as many people as possible and get them to enjoy the game if they can’t aim

[elfin lark]

Definitely possible, me calling it a crutch is just an opinion

When i play breakpoint it feels quite ehhh meaty, as if i am actually controlling everything. For rockstar it feels more like i am simply clicking buttons

Which works, but i still think it is inferior

[charred quail]

rdr2 movement sucks

[sacred iron]

The worst thing for me about breakpoint’s movement is the delay between pressing the movement key and actually moving

[charred quail]

I know it's for immersion or whatever

[sacred iron]

As well as if I’m facing one way and try to walk in the other I take a step forward before turning, it’s gotten me killed twice already

But ultimately I just keep getting stuck on stuff in breakpoint

[elfin lark]

Never had much of an issue myself personally

[sacred iron]

It’s just down to luck really

[elfin lark]

Generally me getting killed is due to me being stupid lol

[elfin lark]

Got an abundance of that

[sacred iron]

There was this one place inside of a cave by a river and no joke I had to reload 4 times because every attempt to climb onto the rock had me clip through

[elfin lark]

My condolences

[sacred iron]

But yeah rdr2’s doesn’t really allow for very good precision, but it at least felt like when you press the key you actually start moving unlike breakpoint

But you know what I’d like? Especially for games like that? The ability to control your speed with the mouse wheel

Playing chaos theory made me realise how useful that is

Something like assassins creed which has sound as an important consideration would benefit from having it

[elfin lark]

Aye i ain’t looking for them to copy breakpoint but i would like rockstars games to feel a little more ehhh hands on if you will

[summer furnace]

I do like that R still keeps the movement system in a way you can move while seeing what's behind

[elfin lark]

That is definitely nice

[sacred iron]

Actually thinking about it rdr2 had a decent way of allowing for some speed control

If I remember correctly you could tap sprint once to enter a sort of fast walk / jog, then hold to sprint

That was a decent middle ground

[summer furnace]

there's an option for tap sprint

or tap twice I don't remember

no need for holding

[elfin lark]

Yeah holding does a jog while you spamming makes ya run

[sacred iron]

Well that would take away that jog speed

[elfin lark]

First person is extremely shit lol

[sacred iron]

I don’t think I ever actually went into first person

[elfin lark]

Before the game came out i thought i was gonna play the whole game in first person

Have you ever played gta in first person?

[sacred iron]

I’ve never played gta

[summer furnace]

real

[sacred iron]

Which is why I don’t really care for gta 6 :)

[summer furnace]

glad to hear, I like gta but am not waiting for that one

[sacred iron]

I think actively waiting for it is a bad play

It’s years out I bet

[elfin lark]

Honestly i am very intrigued with gta 6

[indigo gyro]

I am waiting for GTA IIIIII

[elfin lark]

If it has the more retro style era i believe it does then i am very much looking forward to it

[indigo gyro]

Mafia IIII

[sacred iron]

Mirage is looking decent

Since I’m playing through ac2 now I’m seeing things in it that harken back to that era

[elfin lark]

I actually quite liked mafia 3

The story missions were so and so but i loved the timeline and general aesthetic

[indigo gyro]

I remember when I played it first few hours I enjoyed it and then I realized I am playing far cry

I liked mafia I remake but haven't finished it

[charred quail]

ubisoft is doing another massive sale on humble bundle

[sacred iron]

that reminds me, mirage isn't on steam at the moment but the other games are. Do they tend to get added after launch?

[charred quail]

probably won't

[sacred iron]

I don't get why they'd put the others there but not mirage though :/

[charred quail]

mirage is a new game that will bomb so hard on steam

they don't want the negative reviews to hurt sales

[sacred iron]

I hope it would be good enough to not warrant a review bomb

[charred quail]

[sacred iron]

actually it could just be that there's some cut steam takes on pre orders or general sales and ubi would rather just have it all themselves

then release it on steam a little while later perhaps

I just want an actual decent game to come out of them for once :(

[charred quail]

they have been on a downward spiral recently

switching focus to mobile market as well

[sacred iron]

and pumping loads into ac

[charred quail]

so don't expect good pc games coming from them for the next 5 years

[sacred iron]

I usually just observe from the sidelines

but since I didn;t like the rpg games, mirage could be the first one in a while that could be fun

but I won't pre order, of course.

pointless endevour

[charred quail]

far cry 6 and ass creed valhalla virtually bankrupted them, -500 millions $ just this year

they are only still around because ubisoft is a privately owned company

owned by the richest family in France

[sacred iron]

goodness me that's rough

[charred quail]

so now they are focusing fully on mobile market to recuperate the losses

[sacred iron]

seems like they are also going for quantity over quality with all these games they've got in the works

[charred quail]

yup

just look at that Avatar game

it's going to suck so bad

it's a guarantee that it's going to bomb

[sacred iron]

I thought it could be fairly unique when I realised it's just far cry

[charred quail]

Star Wars Outlaws is going to do well I think

since it's Massive's main project

not a side hustle like Avatar

Massive can makes good open world RPGs, division 1 and 2 prove that

forcing them to make an Avatar/Far Cry game is stupid

[sacred iron]

there's a chance we might get some more information about them at gamescom

[latent moat]

No, this is normal for Ubi games

They just like pushing their launcher

[charred quail]

yeah because they always get shat on on steam lol

it was why they moved away from steam in the first place

[latent moat]

People review bombing "Ubi bad"

[charred quail]

you release far cry 3 for the 4th time it's kinda a given people will get sick of your shit

they knew breakpoint was going to be received poorly so they pulled away from steam

took them over a year to fix that game

[indigo gyro]

Gamescom going to 🔥🔥🔥
MIIIW gameplay
S. T. A. L. K. E. R. II demo
Crimson Desert new trailer
Mirage
I am interested in these

[sacred iron]

about the same for me

not keeping a list though, there could be some surprises

[charred quail]

starfield FSR 3 reveal probably

[sacred iron]

is there a starfield presentation?

[charred quail]

there should be lol

it's literally 2 weeks from release

[sacred iron]

oh yeah i forgor

[charred quail]

reviewers are saying it's the most polished bethesda game

[sacred iron]

I'm just looking forward to it's launch

[charred quail]

so that's nice

[sacred iron]

not for the game itself

but for the bugs lol

[charred quail]

[sacred iron]

no man's sky burned me too much to have any faith in this

or really any game

[charred quail]

no man's sky is actually great now

still not what they promised

but it's a great game

it's still an offline game with online hub

it's like breakpoint

[sacred iron]

I’ve been following it during its development but it’s just ended up as something I don’t find too enjoyable

[next rapids]

pro tip: persuade a person to pay you before you steal an egg for them, then kill them and you don't need to steal the egg
