It deliberately converts gifs to mp4 which breaks being able to see them in most third-party clients, because twitter is garbage.

The secret is that it's completely okay to put video games on the lowest difficulty setting because most of the time a higher difficulty just means "enemies get more HP and do more damage," which is boring and tedious.

This strategy actually worked out really well for Halo 2 because you had to be really aggressive with stickies and melee to kill the giant sacks of regenerating HP the elites were. Sure, for the first couple levels you'd just carry a plasma pistol all the time and they were no problem but as the game went on I wanted 2 of the power weapons most of the time they were available so I had to do a lot of hip headshotting the elites with sniper rifles, or rocket sniper comboing them all when you had to get on the scarab. It made the game really fun. Unfortunately Halo 2 also had jackal snipers, which were the opposite of fun.

Max difficulty in CoD makes everything 1/2 shot you but the way you have to approach things doesn't really change you just spend more time regenerating behind cover/reloading checkpoints which doesn't seem fun to me.

I'm not excited for the CoD4 remake because CoD games flat out aren't designed to be played with mouse and keyboard. Their design completely breaks down when players can do shocking things like "turn around quickly" and "sprint and jump at the same time while shooting."

just setting higher difficulties to a modifier works well for ys origin and oath in felghana, i think, as an example. you can hit a point in those games on normal where bosses just can't really do enough damage to be a threat, playing on at least hard means you've usually got to be pretty careful or else you'll get wrecked

also call of duty plays fine on pc, unless the complaint is it allows people to play way more accurately, which isn't ruining call of duty, it just means you need to be a good shooter too
