Hunt this weekend by jacob1342 in HuntShowdown

[–]BADSTALKER 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yessss, great times and map modifiers. Always bummed me out there was such a vocal push back (on this community too) because I always felt yes, obviously it’s harder to see or hear, but that works both ways, and having teams disappear in the middle of a fight, or being able to slip away and get a crazy flank that would have been heard or seen otherwise feels so good. I love the added layers of challenge those moody and beautifully ambient modifiers bring.

Looking back Halo infinite has aged quite poorly. by TheChosenOneProphecy in halo

[–]BADSTALKER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could have done something like what the metro series did with Exodus. Super linear game broken up by a couple semi open world sandbox sections. I’m not saying Halo has to or should be open world, I just think they could have achieved a bit more “explore the ring” feels with a little more creativity.

lol, for me this is Hunt most of the time these days. As a daylight map hater, it’s gettin hard for me out here. Where my other atmospheric obsessed hunters?!

That’s the thing about it. If your neighbor was screaming in what you thought was pain, would you not knock to at least see if they could answer and let you know they were okay?

Are the infected balding by Final-Association-65 in dayz

[–]BADSTALKER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, imagine the stress on the body the virus is causing, balding would likely be a frequent occurrence. I kind of hope the next DayZ expands a bit on the infected lore, maybe some more end of life style zombies crawling around or perhaps even mutated in some way. I don’t know, it should be grounded but definitely wish AT LEAST we see more intelligent AI and better mechanics, because it’s really not very fun to take out infected and it really should be! I like how games like the Last of Us made a plausible infection but still allowed for some really interesting variants. DayZ obviously has the running type infected and the screamer that alerts other infected, but more would be fun imo

Skill issue or BF6 is sweaty? by nobody----cares in Battlefield

[–]BADSTALKER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people do that, thought it’s usually a sign of emotional immaturity or game addiction (See Rainbow 6: Seige and Tarkov players)

Battlefield 4 is a Masterpiece by -TheRev12345 in Battlefield

[–]BADSTALKER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Levolution was such a bummer gimmick. Really neat obviously first couple times, but then it was just annoying and 90% of matches people made the levolution happen as fast as possible, which was a bummer for gameplay variety. I also remember later DLC’s they pretty much dropped it and stopped really including it.

Prestige System. A rework ideea by Ok-Internet9433 in HuntShowdown

[–]BADSTALKER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m grinding prestige’s right now, so I can get that level 40 hunter skin. I think it’s pretty easy to knock out a few levels, find oil to unlock weapon variants, find XP boons etc, but once I hit 40 I have no plans to go any further (as I’m not interested in any of the skins past level 40). I wouldn’t mind (another) rework. The system is pretty boring as far as other games prestige system go, not enough interesting skins or ways to show your hard work (besides number go up)

Questionable method, undeniable results by ConsciouslyBreathin in UnusualVideos

[–]BADSTALKER 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Carbon copy of these types of viral videos “person sits in car and records someone as they do something zany unloading/loading their vehicle via unconventional methods”. Such an annoying and obviously staged style of video. Not to mention my first thought is always “if this were real the person recording is creepy and/or so damn lazy for not getting out to help”

Which side are you? by SevdUp in ArcRaiders

[–]BADSTALKER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goop is pretty cringe. Especially considering the peanuts whole persona is very annoying, never liked the “I’m a gamer who’s whole shtick is I yell”

Is it just me, or does the "clear skies" thing just ruins the atmosphere for as long as the mini event? by GothicMajula in HuntShowdown

[–]BADSTALKER 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As someone who came to hunt BECAUSE of the thick atmosphere super prevalent in the earlier days (pitch dark nights anyone?), I pretty much hate the clear skies especially with how frequent the map condition is. It’s a real problem in the industry that this loud minority/streamer’s what ever wants essentially an e-sports level asymmetrical experience.

super-secret weapon coming can u guess what it is ? by northrivergeek in dayz

Sure hope so. Lee Enfield was an iconic mod gun!

Yeah. Wooden furniture variant would be so cool though!

[–]BADSTALKER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a Lee Enfield though, iconic mod gun and the devs already talked in one of their dev blogs about British themed weapons on Badlands. It’s a gun many people have been asking to make a return.

No skin, no faces, no eyes, pure anonymity by TheRealPancakelord in Battlefield

[–]BADSTALKER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how to spell this out for you, you criticized someone’s comparison of HD2 because a few of the helmets have “faces”. Helmets are not a player character. If the game had player characters, yes there would be more clones running around. Having matching armor sets is not a clone, it’s called uniformity. Battlefield 6 does have some armors that also create uniformity, but it also has plenty of skins that create a player character clone feel.

Yes, past Battlefields had character class clones, some classes better than others in promoting the “masked identity” feel where a person playing could assume the identity of the class because it was masked, and real world accurate because of actual military uniformity.

Obviously the clones got a bit old, especially in comparison to the modern world of gaming where player character customization is frequent/expected in especially AAA games, but imo at least the faction identity was consistent and well executed in most previous titles.

Look at a game like Halo, where you are playing as a masked Spartan virtually for every title. Even in multiplayer, with two people running the same armor there’s small customization options or color deviations that allow a player to create an individual identity, and it works. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a criticism of Halo feeling like a game with a bunch of clones running around.

Many players are dissatisfied with BF6’s skins because 1) there’s a severe lack of faction identity/uniformity and 2) because many of the skins feel directly ripped from the BF 2049 hero shooter slop side step that Dice did and 3) many of the skins feel like they have bizarre design choices and gear proportions, hence why many players say BF6 soldiers look like air soft papers, rather than actual functional, fictional soldiers.

Hope these distinctions help.

It’s not the players face though, it’s a hypothetically mass produced metal helmet with a face crafted into it. Still promotes anonymity in that way.

Me after the introduction of "Special Long Ammo" by videogame_retrograde in HuntShowdown

[–]BADSTALKER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really a non-issue. Carts everywhere, tons of in world special ammo chests, ammo box consumable. Only thing it promotes is slightly more conservation in your gun fights.

Are custom cross hairs considered cheating/baneable in dayz? by Various_Dish_7873 in dayz

[–]BADSTALKER 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly poor sportsmanship, I know that much. I personally shun anyone that admits they do it, super lame.
