I start by heading for that gap in the wall, mounting my weapon, and setting sites on that opening to the right in case they go that way. Normally I would then lob my munitions over the center and move when it gets to “overtime.”

I got blasted by a rock and thought I heard footsteps to the left in my headphones, so that’s why I checked that way lol. It worked out because I got a lucky shot off.

It’s not some magic trick to win a lot, but it’s nice to have a set strategy each time.

Plant yourself in the middle, watch the right side, listen for footsteps to the left. Gives you an idea of where to focus without running around all crazy.

Ok thanks my, I’ll try that,... I’m doing well in every aspect of this game,.... except that lol

After almost 2 years I am finally almost finished RDR2. Part of that is because of taking time off to play other games, coaching, grad school, etc. But I'm on the last chapter, have completed almost everything I can, and am just waiting for the inevitable. I will say, I thought Arthur was throughout the game somewhat of a noble crook, but certainly had his dark tendencies. Now in this last chapter, he really has embraced that role.

Once I'm finished I'll get started on Death Stranding.

Lol I don't plan on making any intense enemies on this site, so I figured it was safe to post where my video-game-thread brethren would be the ones to see it.

Put a face to the Ubisoft fanboy rhetoric

Excuse me?!?












Btw I’ve won two straight gulag matches now,...

I was on fire in Warzone last night. Got into a good groove with playing it safe until loadout drops, and then following the edge of the circle and outflanking enemies one-by-one.

Had one match where I finished with 11 kills. Just pwning fools with my thermal-scoped FAL and some sniper rifle I picked up. I'll have to post a clip of one the shots I made with the sniper rifle... the guy was so far away, that I was accounting for like a 70 degree drop on the bullet lol. He had no idea where the shots were coming from, and he was pinned down, so I had like 7 shots to get the drop right. I felt like one of those Youtube pros dropping that shot on him.

Was heading into the last circle before the 'final' circle with 10 of us left, and all hell broke loose. Mounted my weapon on a wall and took a dude down across the circle behind a tree, and was trying to get a kill shot on him while he used a self-revive, but I got outflanked and shotgunned. Finished 9th.

Finished 6th in another match with 8 kills, but that match was more lucky than good. Caught a couple guys napping for two easy kills, then third-partied three other guys once the circles started closing. Died, came back from the Gulag, then dropped into a great spot really late, right before the Gulag closed. Got picked off by a sniper in a good camping spot after getting a few more good kills, though.

 

[ACamp1900]

Finishing top ten isn’t too hard for me, I have more than 20 top ten finishes,... it’s surviving the final ten. I’ve finished second twice, both times the gas got me, not the winner.

Getting through the final 10 is a pain in the ass just because of the nature of the circle closing. You think you've got the drop on someone, you light them up, then someone else is lighting YOU up, because there are only so many ways to protect yourself at that point.

I was more pumped with the amount of kills I was racking up last night than anything... and I did it without once getting into a vehicle and running someone over.

I don't understand the guys that just drive trucks or fly helicopters around for 30 minutes. It would defeat the fun of playing the game for me that way lol.

Rumor is they may be taking out RPG's and the double revolvers out of Cod, at the very least they would nerf them

Removing some of the RPG's from the Warzone map would seem reasonable, as you can find them all over the place right now.

But taking them out entirely would be a mistake, unless they plan on removing those bigass trucks and decreasing helicopter health too.

Or you could make them guided launchers which require a vehicle lock-on in order to fire. It would cut down on the cheese, while still making them useful as niche anti-materiel secondaries. The launchers in several previous CoD games worked that way.

Combat in Shadow of War just got noticeably more difficult. I assume most of the Captains you face are randomly generated, but some of them end up with combinations of abilities that are just unfair. I had one guy who was immune to frontal attacks and arrows, had the vault-breaker ability so I couldn't get behind him, and "adapted" mid-fight so I could no longer use wraith stun. I ended up kiting him around looking for grog barrels and campfires because fire damage was pretty much the only option left.

The most annoying immunities are definitely arrows, frost and executions since it shuts down your easiest options for killing captains. The "Fast Learner" trait is also a bear for Talion to deal with, since that'll quickly shut down your next best options. In your situation, I probably would have just summoned a Graug and stepped on him repeatedly, or summoned my bodyguard to let him take the heat.

They have those, but I don't think you find those laying around the Warzone map like the RPG's.

You'd have to equip it as a secondary in a personal loadout, and then wait for/purchase a loadout drop. And most would probably view their personal loadouts as too 'precious' in Warzone gameplay to include a lock-on-only launcher.

It's a catch-22 because you need it in matches where everyone seems to have gotten in a vehicle, but you can't afford to have it taking up your second weapon slot in the matches where people AREN'T abusing vehicles.

RPGs have ruined hardcore,... sweaty idiots run around firing them randomly knowing anything anywhere near the blast radius is a kill

That's why I'd like to see them just replace the RPGs spawns with guided launchers, and then decrease their incidence by maybe 50%. Vehicles are way too safe/ advantageous in Warzone. They should be used for quickly getting from Point A to Point B, but not for just putzing around the map in relative safety. If guided launchers were more common, people would think twice before dicking around in a helicopter or laying on the horn while doing donuts in a parking lot.

My favorite internet videos right now are dudes in vehicles stalking other players that are on foot... but they end up running the player over on an incline.

Then when they get out to loot the kill, their own vehicle runs them over when it rolls back down the hill.

I love instant karma.

 

[tussin]

Just take the RPGs out of the map spawn and limit them to loadout drops. The bigger issue IMO is the akimbos.

Anyone playing any good Metroidvanias on Switch?

 

[greyhammer90]

I and a friend just played Gears 5 on co-op. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. It's good fun with a friend. Has fun gimmicks, like shooting ice under an enemies footing to have them drop into freezing water, throughout.

Well hello friend,....

I heard it runs terribly on Switch?

 

[ACamp1900]

With RPGs it’s not so much Warzone as it is hardcore,... I’m guessing some videos went out talking about it because almost overnight everyone went this route. Throw C4 over walls where enemies may be and send rpgs randomly into buildings and corners,.... rack up cheap kills. It destroyed the whole point of hardcore, a more tactical mode where people don’t run around crazily, overnight.

The graphics are better on ps4 I’ve heard, but that’s to be expected??? I only played on switch and loved it.

Graug Call is a level 30 upgrade, I'm only level 19.

It is a huge problem in Warzone which is CoD's most popular mode

Oof. If you run into a captain like that before you've access to most of the toolkit, you don't have many good options. Could dominate a bunch of orcs and let them help chip him down, or do what you apparently did by utilizing whatever element he's weak to.

I played Bloodstained too, but on PS4. Great Castlevania clone by the original creator of Symphony of the Night.

They don’t kill you if you’re armored tho,... In hardcore if you’re ANYWHERE near it you die. In fact I’ve never once seen anyone use RPGs with any real success in Warzone and I play that more than anything also,...????

Hardcore is supposed to be realistic which makes sense for a RPG to kill you if you are near it. Warzone people are unloading 3 RPG shots within seconds
