It's even funnier when they get bowled over by a rampaging mutant as soon as they finish the line.

I'm a fan of their overly dramatic death screams - but especially the snipers that sound like theater performers.

It's a bad, dumb game that only idiots (like myself) play, but Star Trek Online has a fun April Fool's gimmick where, for one day, they replace all of the Star Trek button pushing chrips and tweets in the UI with someone (presumably a dev) making the noises himself. Like, a guy liteerall going "TWEEET" "BLOOP."

DT should do something similar, with a (very short) event that replaces sniper screams with straight up Wilhelm_Scream.wav

Replace all the gunshot effects with the respective voice actors yelling the appropriate onomatopoeia.

Timesplitters (I forget which but probably all of them) has a mode where all of the gun noises are replaced with Human Gun sounds and it's as awful/amazing as you can imagine.

Fatshark would spend dev resources on a fantastic map for April fools with a unique event that everyone enjoys

And then remove it after a week and never speak of it again until next year

Only if they keep the same combat-designers around. And the audio/graphical people. In fact, keep everyone except for the higher-uppers and whoever is responsible for the progression systems. :v:

Has 2042 improved the map-design much since release by the way? My main beef with it during the open-beta was that all the maps were wide-open empty spaces with barely any cover around. Took ages to get from point to point as well.

gently caress that game and DICE, I legit enjoyed it even then but the motherfuckers literally took out 128 player breakthrough from the regular playlist and no longer officially support it, the one mode I bought the game for

Put 128 player mode into Darktide imo. 4 PCs chosen at random, everyone else plays melee enemies with 2hp

just get us in the playoffs
I loaded up a quick play malice map and saw we had three pskyers and one ogryn.

Map was a lights out. One of the players shot a deamonhost. No one could see what was going on and we got wiped. It was fun.

Tanks still suck but you don't gotta hand it to the Axis either.
Playing no-stress ogryn is just casual gory fun. Me and my wife made a simultaneous Ogryns with matching names and only play them together on what-is-easy-for-the-level difficulty (just jumped to malice at level 9, now lvl 11 and melk opened up, propably not going malice high intensity until lvl 15 or 18) so we stay the same char level at all times.

It is just very satisfying that the lvl2-unlock melee weapon is super effective and most ranged weapons are either good enough or too fun not to use- with the base kickback being almost too good to change away from.

They have this really sweaty essence to them that makes me think of warhammer model collectors and they're therefore my favourite.
