Ubisoft says they can't make Outbreak permanent because of space limitations, and they don't want a 100gb game.

I don't know how they plan to do a new map every season and similar PvE events on top of trying to reach 100 operators if that's the case

Wonder how blitz will feel tomorrow

With 100 ops and Bigger Maps being confirmed I kinda want them to bump the team number count from 5 to 8 or something in the future.

I'm fairly certain they aren't improving Yacht at all (atleast not yet), just replacing Bartlett in the casual playlist.

At least they didn't mention that they have improved it when they stated they were adding it back into rotation.

I think Bartlett could be a great map if they added a door in dining and a stairwell and door in upper library on the west wall. I understand it's shortcomings but still have fun playing it. I usually prefer it over Kanal.

The new shots of Hereford gave me Bartlett vibes.

Getting used to Outbreak. The ping function for highlighting grunts is really useful, especially when you're trying to go silenced headshots to avoid alerting the horde. Shotguns are king (as long as they were actually good in the first place, Saiga still sucks). We blazed through the first map of The Nest before dying during the crane part because I was the only one focusing the Apex and I was getting chased by 20 enhanced grunts and a rooter. We've gotten to the Nest before (pretty cool-looking) but got overwhelmed there before completing a single charge. Tachanka seems like he'd be really helpful in it but I question his usefulness in the lead-up to it.

It's a fun gamemode. Not exquisitely polished, but solid concept, and it's neat how they worked Siege's mechanics into it. I'd like to see more of this kind of thing.

Please don't buy the drat Outbreak packs, if you go "all in" they're going to lock an increasing amount of stuff behind their stupid RNG gamble boxes rather than the good way they've been doing it, which is - check this out - letting you buy the poo poo you want to buy at a price they set.

It's no use. Whales account for something like 98% of all MTX spending so appealing to normal people isn't effective.

You're pissing in the wind there I'm afraid buddy. You can't stop Ubisoft unethically taking advantage of people's poor impulse control and hoarding psychology. Ubisoft chose this system for a reason.
