This reminds me of the in-game callouts that say something like “They’re by the destroyed building!” They are all destroyed buildings!

I do get a chuckle from it on Shipment, though. “They’re by the containers! :pseudo:

I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

"They're over there" would be the best callout, sad they did not do it.

we're slowly leaving the game anyways.

doesn't matter how fun the engine is, how enjoyable the guns are, how good it feels to go on a streak.

my options are either: spawnkill-a-thon or a totally camped out game, no middleground, and neither of those are fun

When you think about the importance of the standard shipping container to the world as a whole, you realize Shipment is actually a very important map that tells us more about the way we live our lives.

So I am stuck in a update restart loop for the PS4 patch that just rolled out. Tried to play offline mode and it says my data is corrupt. Does that mean I need to delete everything and redownload?

I dunno what video game you people are playing where everyone is a four-headed victorian gargoyle statue sitting stock-still in a corner with a 360 degree view of all possible angles you could approach from, my advice is try flanking.

right cuz it's way more fun attempting a long flank only for the enemy team to spawn behind you as you attempt to move towards their positions

That doesn't seem to happen much from my experience. It looks like what happens is, the game picks a spot it has deemed 'safe' and spawns players in that general area until the opposite team pushes toward it. Then the 'safe' spot moves away from the push, not past it, unless they are at a dead-end corner of the map (the flower shop on Petrograd, the destroyed building on Azhir, the far corner with the lobby on Piccadilly). If that happens you can just... yknow, turn around, because now your spawns will be at the dead-end.

There are 3 'tiers' of spawns on each half of the map. The spawns don't really push back like you are describing, they just 'are'. If one team pushes too close to the spawns, it flips which team is spawning on what half. The main reason the reason why so many of the maps in this game are so bad is because so many of the maps have chokepoints well outside the invisible line the game uses to determine spawn flips. So spawns like Ramaza A spawn or Aniya Palace E-side uncap, or Grazna raid C side are absolutely miserable against a team that is smart enough to hold 2 points and then just hang back and control the choke points.

Ramaza A & Aniya E are the grossest offenders because they have, literally, 3 small chokepoints that exit their spawn and they are all able to be covered from high ground with hard cover. It is insane that someone who designs video game maps for a living looked at that layout and said "this is good, ship it."

Yea dumbasses! Instead of taking “the middle route” why don’t you flank on one of the other paths through the map, such as “the only left route” or “the only right route”. Surely no team could watch THREE paths at once!

If you get people who understand the importance of rushing the bridge at the start then it can happen, and actually makes a hard fought victory more rewarding if you've won it through rebuffing their attempts to take it back

Generally they're not expecting to have to fight for it if they spawn at A and resort to the usual base sniping which usually ensures an easy win if you hold the bridge

Unless your team are profoundly stupid and push too hard into A and make the spawns flip leading to you getting bumrushed

I still like knowing it. This wouldn’t fix it but if they over emphasized objective scoring to the point where you’re earning way more XP I think it would at least make people who do objectives fee better. I thankfully have enough friends that play that I can do objective maps with a full squad now.

I had a really nice rhythm going with the game where I'd hop into quickplay for a few games and learn some of the maps, then if that got a bit boring I'd go play a few games on Shoothouse. Without having that Shoothouse option I'm having a hard time fully getting into the game because I just don't particularly like a lot of the maps so if I have a bad run of them on quickplay it kills my desire to keep playing.

Always rush the bridge at either spawn point. I run with a pistol/knife secondary to run faster. Use nades/c4 to clear out the flag if you see it capping. I like to wrap around the bus on the first cap attempt. Just be ready to shoot.

Use smokes to cover your path to the stairs if you fail on the first attempt. Ladders always an option, I usually take the stairs though.

Retaking it is one of the funnest parts of the bridge. Learn to use and switch out multiple loadouts depending on the situation.

You can be part of up to 10 regiments, I believe. Each one can set their own happy hour where you get double XP if you’re playing with someone in the same regiment.
