I don't know wtf is up with how the installs and stuff work with this game because to download the patch that dropped an hour ago it made me clear 50GB of space but the patch is only 8GB.

It has to have lots of extra room to overwrite the data you’ve already installed, I think. Xbox and PC are like that too

I remember getting to the point where I just stopped playing Payday 2 entirely because there were updates for it every week or so and I kept having to delete stuff to make room for the 60 or so free gigs it needed every single time.

a lot of cod skill is map knowledge, and knowing where players tend to pop out of and being ready for that. it can feel lovely at first, the other day i had a GB stream on in the back and jeff scored a few 3-42s in his first rounds lol

I’m still used to the really fast TTK from older games, in WWII’s Free-for-all I’d almost always be in the top 3, but every time I try FFA in this I get my rear end kicked.

with fast paced games it’s all about knowing the maps

I feel the same way every time I start a new shooter, especially if it’s one that’s already been out for a while, then eventually it just starts clicking

The acoustic sensor is really really good, especially in FFA (it doesn't just make sounds louder like it says in the description, it also puts a directional indicator on your minimap when people are being noisy nearby). I'm really bad at aiming in straight up duels and the higher TTK makes that even worse so I have to get my kills from flanking people. Also PS4 friends i'm about to log on for the night

Yeah it finally clicked for me after trying it out in a bunch of installments. I might pick up that standalone thing they released last year with every single Zombies map from the old treyarch games all in one or whatever it was

I am so awful at this game but it feels good seeing random experience milestones pop up on the screen every now and then. My muscle memory in aiming in overwatch isn't really helping me out here. Or perhaps everyone got extremely good at cod since I last played advanced warfare

I can’t because my frame rate drops to 10 whenever another person is within a mile of me.

Blackout’s really good but I wish the map was a little bigger because sometimes it feels a little too fast-paced. No matter where you land there’s always 3 other people dropping right on top of you. It’s the only BR where I’ve managed to die before even finding a gun, and I managed to do that twice in a row Friday because somebody else beat me to the first building I landed next to, got the gun first, and was waiting for me

Yeah I think the map size as it is is probably comparable to, like, Fortnite (where you can usually find a spot with some peace and quiet if that's what you want) but the wingsuit is incredibly powerful so the initial helicopter path doesn't really mean poo poo, you can drop wherever you want on the map any time. I'd hate to have them nerf the wingsuit because it's really fun and takes some skill to use so yeah I hope they actually stretch out the map a little bit instead of just filling in the blank spots

Sounds like they fixed whatever memory leak problem that PCucks were having. I gotta say, I guess you could frame it as a bad thing, but I'm pretty impressed that they've patched the game literally every single day since release. It launched with some issues but that's some good commitment to resolving them (and it's not been the kind of patch you need to download it's just an in-client settings adjustment thing that takes 5 seconds to do at launch)

Heist is way more fun than I’d thought it would be. I just wish it would have an info window for some of the stuff you can buy. I haven’t played MP since 4 so I think I waste money.
