I'm extremely hype for Arenas. I love the movement and shooting in Apex but I hate all the downtime in BRs. I just want to shoot mans. Feels like there's a real shortage of TDM games lately.

Boxman posted:What's the lore for how WE got into the games, anyway? Isn't the plot for Olympus "after the phase runner blew up no one wanted to live or work there (so presumably Blisk was able to get it on the cheap) It was mostly abandoned decades ago after the cooling tower disaster that orphaned Bloodhound. They originally moved the games there temporarily so they could fix the damage on Kings Canyon caused by the Leviathans and Flyers (thanks to Crypto).

I know it's to make melee even remotely viable, but it's dumb that punching someone in the face does more damage than shooting them with most of the weapons in the game.

It sounds like Hammerpoint and Skullpiercer are getting the Precision Choke treatment.

Lol I just lost a match because of a reason so silly I had to post about it. I died just inside of the boundary of ring, and resurrected myself by holding the key down, while spamming the heal key. But I was also on top of a zipline, so holding down the key to rez myself immediately made me jump onto the zipline, out of the ring, killing myself.

I wonder if the Wingman will still be able to take the Quickdraw Holster on top of the built-in Skullpiercer. I like Quickdraw on it way more, the faster swap and ADS time is very strong.

Yeah, I feel like the hitting animation should reset when you're getting shot (or after taking a certain amount of damage). If you can duck and weave the shots, you deserve the melee kill. But just tanking half a magazine without flinching while windmilling like a drunk hooligan and scoring a kill feels wrong in so many ways.

Honestly I'm just looking forward to hearing some new voice lines. One more "They're shooting at m---I'm DOWN!" and I'm gonna throw myself off of Olympus.

It will be pretty interesting to see how the new arena works out. It seemed to include a shop/economy system like CS/Valorant. That could make it pretty competitive if they balance it properly. Edit: Looks like you have to actually buy ammo for your skills in the arena, so you can't just spam them. This might feel a lot more involved and competitive than some people will enjoy, but to me, it sounds great. I just hope their matchmaking is decent and doesn't prioritise speed over match quality.

If i'm shooting at a person who is punching me I often have to calm myself down, focus, and shoot my enemy in the head and body. That or get some distance on them and then shoot them in the head and body.

In the long run, it doesn't. Unless youre talking about a 2 second windup punch doing more damage than 1 bullet fired from a gun that can spit out 10+ in less than a second.

I'm going to sound so spergy right now, but the force of a bullet impact is extremely low and practice shooting soft targets its extremely hard to tell if I've hit it or not. Gunshot reactions are largely a mental construct, unless an animal has been shot through the heart or the brain it's going to an uncomfortably long time before that creature gives up the ghost. Holy spergout

3030 getting shatter caps is great because when it was introduced I said how much I'd like it to have a shotgun mode It's gonna be a super versatile weapon now because close quarters was where it struggled, like the G7

Competitive modes are inherently try hard idk where this thought process came from that you could ever chill and win competitive games at the same time. Maybe people watching actual good players play chill pubs warped perception. If anything information bring widely consumed more than ever before is what people are upset about.

I think the complaint is that this is a competitive mode rather than a more chill "just w key and shoot" mode. Like, a 15 v 15 (or whatever, but it should be comically large to diffuse responsibility) death match, race to X kills, server refill for replacing people who drop out. FWIW Valorant has a couple of these modes and I think deathmatch gets old quickly but its a pleasant distraction. I think people really love the arms race equivalent. And they both definitely feel less sweaty than even normals. Boxman fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Apr 27, 2021 |

It would be stupid easy to put dumb bots in the game for a pve horde mode or something for when you just want to chill out and click on stuff. The fact that bots in the firing range are locked behind an extremely obscure easter egg is incredibly baffling to me.
