We should make Beanpole Team Captain 1 and Veni x3 team captain 2, I think they probably have more matches played than the rest of us put together and I know I’m rusty enough that I’ll have more fun just following them around and healing them and providing covering fire.

I have to go now. My planet needs me.
One thing which annoyed me about the first game on PS4 is how stingy it is with trophies outside of multiplayer. There's hardly any in single player.

Me and BP played a couple rounds last night and I collectively got 1 kill between the two rounds we played. So temper you expectations I am pretty bad at it now lol. I haven't really played it in over 5 years.

No one should be concerned with my disturbing number of weeks or my broken antenna.

i'm sad that it didn't work. i ticked the box on for audio sharing but it didn't work. maybe i need to click some other option? or maybe the console needed a restart for the option to take effect. i have no idea.

Use share button to bring up share menu, go all the way to the right to broadcast settings, it's one of the few toggles listed there

I think it used to be buried somewhere in the big system settings menu on PS4, then yeah I guess they moved it somewhere I would've never thought to look on PS5. I had to google for it when I double checked my setting earlier today lol

Need to check my options and see if I can figure out why my audio wasn’t on the stream. Unless it’s a party chat setting?

You can create a private match lobby by selecting a game mode and then choosing the option to create a private match. To join a private match lobby, just join a party that's in one. And you join a party by hitting triangle and selecting a friend to join up on.

nah, it's in the share menu apparently when you hold down the share button, i couldn't find it either. it's too bad because the stream is missing like 5 of the voices that were laughing they rear end off at the big moments

Yeah it’s dumb. even you had it enabled on an account level on PS4, pS5 turns it off until you manually activate it which ruined some really funny clips I took around the time the system came out.

Iirc the PS4 defaulted to on, which makes more sense to me. I mean, I guess it’s better from privacy standpoint but most people don’t know they have it turned off. You ends up with clips of people talking to themselves.

Remember to queue in the 'no teams' queue if you're playing alone. Also watch some of ther vids i posted on the previous page

I have equal about equal luck regardless of which queue I use. like sure sometimes you'll run into some 2-4 player death squad, but there's a decent chance you'll also have one on your team as well. but ymmv

Yea, we had teamed up, so it wouldn't let us queue into 'no teams.'

Is Supply Raid the most beginner-friendly mode?

Did all the above, I think I just suck at this game. Like I can at least consistently down people now, but then their other teammates show up and just wreck me immediately afterwards.

easiest mode imo is Interrogation, but Supply Raid is probably close. I like interrogation because I don't have to feel *as* bad if I die a bunch, since I'm not costing my team stock. Plus, since it's objective based, it's a little more flexible in how you wanna play it.

You won't have as much downtime since you can respawn, but watching the better players on your team when you're a ghost in Survivors is really valuable for learning.

Least, actually. Supply Raid is what the MLG tryhards play to record their 20v1 attempts. Most streamers won't play Survivors because there is more downtime, but the limit on resources makes Survivors a slower paced, tense, more cautious game loop, and gives the new player time to learn the maps. Also, when you die you get a front row seat to watch how other people play, what mistakes they make and what tricks they know.


Survivors is the heart and soul of Factions imo, and channels that oh so good 'oh poo poo i'm all alone' spirit of the original Socom games.

Bigtime agreed, I only dip into Supply Raid and Interrogation if I'm playing solo and it helps me beat a challenge. Like it's a lot easier to rack up special executions in Interrogation since it's how you reveal the safe's location.

I was actually winning a match of Supply Raid!

..and then it booted me and said the host disconnected :confuoot:

I'll check out Interrogation. I had assumed that was the most difficult mode, but didn't realize there's no stock counter.

May 17, 2004



Yeah interrogation is different, it's the only mode where killing isn't the primary goal.

Just tried it. Had a great time. Maybe due to the teammates or enemies, but I like it way more than Supply Raid.
It's kind of like Destiny's Kill Confirmed with more strategy.

edit: It's actually nothing like that, but the similarities are why I like it more.

I'd thought about asking, but I'm almost only ever regularly available past 21:00 PST/PDT, which is like the worst time since anyone in a later US time zone is often going to bed and everyone in Europe is already asleep.
