I know who you are. You are destiny.


I modelled my most played Mass Effect character after Ripley and she (and Alien 1/2) holds the same place in my heart as the Marathon series so not buying the Ripley skin would be a crime.

Also, everyone knows I kinda like lovely guns, so I don't mind the G36.

Just had the dumbest BR match.

I needed to drive a vehicle for 5 min so I loaded up a solo match.

I also needed to do a mission at the hospital which I was able to knock out easy because it was super far from the circle.

Got in the SUV and started driving around the map just dicking around. I did have another mission to get into the top 15 three times so I was like eh gently caress it I'll just drive around and see how long I survive.

As I was driving around the map I had a guy pop out right in front of me and go splat kill 1 lol.

Kept driving around and came upon a pack of 4 other dudes playing bumper cars. We rammed each other for awhile and some dude came along and tried taking one of the vehicles out and I managed to run him over kill 2.

The other guys hosed off to another part of the map and I kept driving in circles doing jumps and stuff. Decided to switch to another car and see how it drove and I got out of the SUV and a dude pops out from behind a rock and I manage to head shot him (I got lucky) kill 3.

Get in the buggy as the circle closes in (25 people left). Keep driving around and see some dude running up the road in front of me and I plow right into him kill 4!

Keep driving as the circle closes down and I see one dude running out in the open and I try and run him down but he manages to dodge me and throw some C4 down and blow the poo poo out of my buggy. Its ok though I was 14th haha

So dumb but hey I lasted till I was in the top 15. I really do enjoy running people over though.

I haven't been playing long but why does the game install shaders every time I load it up?

It should only do it after patches, unless you're not letting it actually finish installing them.

2nd teaser is out. Looks like it’s inside the stadium and a bomb/nuke is going off. So we’re getting trains, stadium, and some part of the map probably getting glasses so far for season 5.

I remeber playing a mod of something that was basically a BR where your squad or team was in a vehicle and if you got out you died. It could also have been a dream or us shooting the poo poo back in PUBG days. Either way I want that.

So, it will do it in 2 instances that i know of: after patches and if you upgrade/reinstall gfx drivers.

There are also multiple shader packs to install, multiplayer, campaign and I think coop. It only installs one at a time.

Edit: C4 needs to not be able to be thrown, only placed. I think that's it biggest problem. It's basically used a grenade you can detonate yourself right now. It's way too strong

They need to do something about C4 for sure, but it's also a pretty key element in making sure elevated positions aren't overly strong. C4s throwing arc is really ideal for tossing into attics and onto lower rooftops.

You'd think frag grenades would be the obvious choice but they'd need a reduction to their fuse time or something to ever be as useful as C4. As are they're far too much of a liability. The game moves way too fast for you to be vulnerable for 3-4 seconds while you prime a frag.

2nd teaser is out. Looks like it’s inside the stadium and a bomb/nuke is going off. So we’re getting trains, stadium, and some part of the map probably getting glasses so far for season 5.

I have questions about how Warzone BR would function with both the closing gas storm as well as a nuke. Do we still race to the centre of the gas for a win, while other teams figure out how to detonate the nuke? Will the nuke be a mechanism for WZ BR matches at all, or just a once-off event that introduces changes to the map for the next season? (If so, will radiation/fallout be a factor or mechanism?)

trigger warning: flawed and not-completely-thought-through ideas ahead

I think it could be an opportunity for them to maybe think out of the box with the BR concept.

How about... instead of running toward the centre of a circle to be evacuated from a gas storm, we now have to fight for supremacy to escape to some of the bunkers and survive the nuclear blast?

This could be evolution of the BR winner-takes-all concept and have multiple 'winners', through emergent gameplay-style battles: some teams vying for a bunker to hide in (and securing a runner-up prize of sorts? survival?), or the choice to go the game-winning bunker from which the nuke gets launched. Anybody not in a bunker gets to be part of Sarah Connor's T2 dream sequence.

I know it sounds kinda like having participation medals but it may be a way for casual guys to feel less bad about never getting a win.

Of course this is just a catdrugs pipedream fantasy. We'll probably just get a mode where everybody has to run from gas like normal, while a team of sweats hacks the bunker 11 keypad and ends the match with a nuke. There are no winners, just people with a positive KDR.

They seem to like adding little flourishes to promote players not just hunkering down and actually moving around to fight over stuff (free loadouts landing right next to each other, supply run contracts, buy stations, etc) so having a nuke that kills half a kilometer in the safe zone after around the second circle where you have to worry about the gas and the blast radius could be interesting.

Having the battle be about a few bunkers a team might secure early in the match seems bad. Having the battle be about a network of bunkers interconnected with myriads of tunnels and entrances seems good.

The next season should introduce a cash balloon, but instead of carrying away cash you can attach yourself to it and fly up in the air before detaching and parachuting back down. This would help combat roof campers and generally reduce the amount of stair climbing experienced in game.

E: Only halfway though the battle pass right now. I need to get some serious triple double catassing going in the next couple weeks.

Hey, how do I turn off auto-brace on ADS? This has never been a helpful feature and just throws off my sight picture to a weird canted angle, jerks my aim point to the side, or locks me into not being able to traverse onto the target I was tracking.

Last night I only had the starter pistol during a hot drop and rushed a guy who had picked up a Rogue. He had no chance.

Starter pistol melee is the strongest weapon in the game.
