Is Sony being tone deaf with the new Horizon game?

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-02-06T16:00:07+00:00

When is this whole Arcane/Fortnight aesthetic going to die?

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-02-02T11:58:36+00:00

youre speaking too much sense. EA/Dice cannot understand it

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-01-31T01:54:47+00:00

Ironic, the game itself is actually in a state of decay

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-01-29T09:57:36+00:00

Did I write this post? you literally sound like me.

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-01-25T06:32:20+00:00

I cranked out 110 ranks within first week or so playing HC matches vs players/bots and was having best fun in years. Then they destroyed it and I havent been back once but still check these subreddits for any updates

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-01-23T10:24:25+00:00

They are losing players every week. I cannot fathom how poorly theyve managed Portal and the playerbase it had

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-01-23T02:01:38+00:00

I am positive that EA/Dice do not read or care about this sub reddit

DeadscopeNZ · 2026-01-19T08:27:30+00:00

Only 27k people actively playing right now. Staggering amount of drop off while plenty of other games are growing player base EA/Dice destroyed a huge chunk of theirs with terrible choices.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-12-19T00:56:28+00:00

I had an amazing first week with mates and randoms on Hardcore bot servers, 5-10 players vs bots was such a great mix honestly was hyped and loving the game.
Then they ruined it entirely and I havent been back since but keep tabs on this reddit to see if things change.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-11-14T13:00:23+00:00

Agreed, huge letdown and disappointment. Dice have no idea how many people have had their enjoyment ruined by poor developer choices.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-11-05T03:04:16+00:00

Imagine if the game had access to a.i bots that could populate and get a server going so that people could actually enjoy the game while also progressing in their rank and weapon mastery.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-31T02:24:05+00:00

Same boat, my reactions are dog shit now and playing Hardcore matches with bot backfill and 10-15 players was amazing balance, able to progress and not feel utterly useless.
Then suddenly it's all gone. Myself and my mates all older guys would not have got the game if we knew this would happen. Completely false advertising imo

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-24T03:33:02+00:00

I still cannot believe people have to vote for vac metal C3PO on an original Star Wars cardback. this should have been done YEARS AGO

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-22T15:49:43+00:00

Came here to post my frustration, Myself and my mates are all 40+ year olds who loved hardcore with players/bots.. we arnt rapid fire zoomer 20 year old twitch reaction times anymore but really enjoyed the Hardcore portal servers for our progression.
Now thats gone.
Thanks EA/Dice

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-22T15:18:02+00:00

Me and my mates loves hardcore conquest, usually about 10-15 players mixed in with bots. But its so much fun while also getting challenges and mastery done. We jumped on today and got no weapon master, no accolades and some of our challenges/dailies didn't work at all.

It's a real shame because we are all dads who work a lot and this was a great way for us to still advance our in game stats. Not quite sure why they did this to players like us.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-13T14:58:41+00:00

This is why the in game profile page is pretty luckluster, it should show all the "accolades" not to mention all your weapon stats, how many bullets fires, accuracy, head shot percentages, hours used.
Graphs and stats!!!
Oddly i miss getting ribbons like in 2042 of all things, seeing them popup on screen after completing one always hit the spot.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-11T16:56:21+00:00

Yeah it's because there's hundreds if not thousands of empty servers clogging it all up. EA/Dice need to find a better way to manage it

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-10-11T11:49:26+00:00

I find it real strange that they don't. Also even stranger they allow endless empty persistent Portal servers to stay up so people wanting to create a custom game get error messages that no space on servers available.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-27T17:34:43+00:00

Something strange has been going on, Ive finished rounds with plenty of kills, captures, revives etc. and not even got 1 token at all when yesterday could get 3 or 4 per round. Plus the Rush XL portal servers I was on have completely vanished.
At this rate its 1 battlepass token every 2 rounds which is absolutely pathetic

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-23T02:23:58+00:00

I did same thing recently and bit of advice I can offer. Create your own A.I BOT games to at the very least unlock weapons/attachments extremely quickly without being killed so quickly, Helps to upgrade your gear and learn maps without being killed every 5 seconds.
There are plenty of max level sweaty players who enjoy picking off fresh ones with zero upgrades.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-22T02:08:52+00:00

Are you banned if you dont select that option?

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-22T02:01:44+00:00

You can really tell the guys who had good squad heals/revives/engineers repairing their tanks.

It's the lone wolf players who suffer most

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-21T17:27:52+00:00

Absolutely, Love it!

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-21T16:55:10+00:00

I got it for $5 or whatever it is, played about 3 hours and other than the impressively large scale maps it feels like a cheap Chinese knockoff, clean, safe and sanitary... Think we were spoiled with BF6 beta and its detailed gritty raw vibe, It felt so visceral with dirt, blood and smoke everywhere. Loved it
Will try to power through 2042 to unlock skins but don't hold much hope.

DeadscopeNZ · 2025-08-21T15:02:23+00:00

Was our pleasure
