Titanfall 2? The Battlefields?

Battlefields might work, good idea. I loved Bad Company 2 way back when.

I tried to get into Titanfall 2 multiplayer and it's not for me, I don't like the PvE elements and I don't like the mech stuff. Also when people call it TF2 I get excited because I think they're talking about the real TF2 but they're not.

Are there any good team deathmatch or arena shooter type games on Gamepass besides Halo?

Gears of war?

I know you said you’re bored of halo but Halo infinite has a big update (season 3) coming early March and it’s rumoured to be very large with a whole bunch more content.

I loved a game called knockout city which was teams of three players in a dodgeball deathmatch type thing. It is sooooo good, but I heard it’s getting deactivated at some point soon.

If your crew has switches, you should play Splatoon.

You have to let it expire first. If you add Gold time to an active GP sub it converts it at like 3:1 or something.

Thank you. I'll that in about a week or so.

Wondering, I have a 1 month (non stackable) Game Pass Ultimate, can I get 6month Gold and it keeps being ultimate or do I need to let expire this Ultimate month, get gold then convert it for 1€?

You need to let it expire, but also the converting will cost you €12.99. You're actually buying one month of Ultimate to convert the Gold, and it will cost you the normal price instead of €1 because you already used the trial offer.

However, it may be possible to buy a cheaper GP Ultimate code from an external site, and the 1:1 conversion will work that way too.
e: oh, you're familiar with it since apparently you bought your first Ultimate code from a keysite. In that case a similar kind of code should work again.

So, I first get (for example) 6 months of gold, then get an ultimate code (both external site) for cheap and it will convert all gold to ultimate, right?

Btw, I've been using the trial offer from time to time since I resubbed with the 1€ deal like 3 times in the last year. I just happen to let something like 3 months in between.

Yep, should be no problem. Just make sure the Ultimate code doesn't have any prerequisites like an account that never used Ultimate before or whatever. Most don't, but some can.

Cheers! gonna try with a 6 month gold (can get one for around 20ish) once this ultimate month expires

My experience with it, despite playing on a fiber optic connection, is that the matchmaking, and server stability are really bad. If a player leaves the match for any reason then the game quits back to the lobby is one of the most frustrating parts of Splatoon 3. So even if you yourself have a stable connection, your gameplay experience is only as good as the weakest link in the match.

Fwiw I haven't played Splatoon before 3 so I love it, but I just don't know how it compares to the previous ones.

It absolutely satisfies my "drop into a multiplayer game and gently caress around" urges. Runs at 60fps in game, 30 in the big city hub.

Maybe worth bookmarking for a sale to let your crew know about.

Are there any good team deathmatch or arena shooter type games on Gamepass besides Halo? Just looking for something to play with a couple of friends. We tried the new Apex Legends TDM mode but it's bad. Objective or round based or whatever is fine too just needs to be enough people playing that we can find a match and where you spend most of your time shooting mans and not waiting around or running around looking for fights (i.e. not battle royale)

I guess basically Halo but not Halo because we've played the hell out of it already

At the risk of being basic!!! the latest call of duty has so much content it’s sort of insane. The best mode is free but DMZ is more of 30 minute commitment with 3 people max.

I have definitely played and enjoyed Calls of Duty in the past. I've been waiting for a deep discount because it's $90 CAD and I prefer the drop in/out modes.

I'm enjoying Atomic Heart so far. Combat seems pretty fun, you have to dodge a lot. The setting is neat, looks and runs great. The dialogue isn't great but I'm playing in russian so I can just ignore it if I need to.

The story reminds me a lot of those conservatives that misunderstood Rage Against the Machine, but instead the devs somehow completely misunderstood Bioshock.

I think it is more that for a variety of reasons they made a game that is afraid of being too critical of Russia, the United States, communism, and capitalism so it can't actually form a strong message.

The best it gets is 'gay space communism only works if there is no inequality at all' and even that is halfhearted.

This is true, it is very good.

I played splatoon 3 for about 4 hours before I came to the conclusion is was exactly the same as splatoon 2 which I was sick to death of. I need to give it another go though.

This was my concern was Splatoon 3. My wife and I played the hell out of 2 but $80 for what looks like the exact same game is a tough sell. Especially with Gamepass messing with my expectations of how much games should cost ($0)

I just played through Future Perfect a few months ago for IZGC and it’s such a perfectly enjoyable time capsule of the era. A game that could not possibly be made at any other time. Well worth $2 if you don’t have it already.
