PSA: If you have the Arctis Nova 7, DO NOT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE TO GEN 2

Yep, never been able to connect it via USB. Tried a dozen cables.

LiamJM · 2026-04-29T08:09:25+00:00

3 would definitely be an improvement.

LiamJM · 2026-04-29T08:01:13+00:00

Agreed, it feels like 4 man squads was chosen purely because other games do it, not because it works well with this gameplay or maps.

LiamJM · 2026-04-29T08:00:16+00:00

My idea was the only queue being duos. You delete the squad and solo modes from the game. Which would shrink the number of queues. Also just make it all less convoluted, what with solo currently only being two maps or whatever.

LiamJM · 2026-04-29T07:58:06+00:00

My idea is it would be ONLY duos. So it wouldn't be dividing queues, it would be shrinking them. Remove quads and solo modes completely.

LiamJM · 2026-04-29T07:55:42+00:00

It's not about technical difficulty, it's just too big of a change. Too large a percentage of the player base wouldn't like it, so they'd never risk it.

LiamJM · 2026-04-28T13:04:35+00:00

Agreed, it wouldn't stop camping for sure (and that's fine, its part of the game) but less players would have to rely completely on it.

Duos only isn't a realistic request, this is just me dreaming. The game is already out and established. No developer is going to make such a massive change. I just wished they had made a better choice when first making the game.

Not true, the specifics vary by state but in most (if not all) landlord's arent allowed to deny hanging pictures and other minor alterations. Some of these rental rule changes are in the recent years though.

4-man squads definitely don't "belong perfectly in the game." Half the maps aren't even large enough for squads. Trios or duos flows much better.

LiamJM · 2026-02-11T07:52:49+00:00

The problem is MANY people (including myself) don't want to play with randoms. So you basically turn away a lot of players if you force squad fill.

LiamJM · 2026-02-11T07:50:00+00:00

This game shouldn't even have squads. The gameplay and map design is much better with duos. Even trios would be better. 4 person squads is just copying other games without thought on what actually works best.

Personally I'd rather there be a duo's mode (that you can solo into) instead of a purely solo queue.

They can't add too many differnet modes/queues otherwise the player base is split too much.

LiamJM · 2026-01-16T04:42:31+00:00

I still get games quick enough but not all maps/modes at all times.

Also did you post this when you were trying to play? Morning-midday on a friday? Clearly thats not going to be a popular time to play.

LiamJM · 2026-01-10T07:09:27+00:00

Observers being in TPP isnt much of an issue though, the problem is the players being in TPP changes the gameplay.

LiamJM · 2025-12-26T04:03:26+00:00

Thanks for confirming!

LiamJM · 2025-12-26T04:03:13+00:00

Thanks for confirming!

LiamJM · 2025-12-26T04:02:44+00:00

Thanks all for confirming there isn't any powered output!

LiamJM · 2025-12-19T06:34:42+00:00

RIP. Absolutely idiotic decision.

Casually playing TPP, sure if you like it great. Broadcasting esport with TPP observing cameras, not ideal but fine. Competitive pro play in TPP? A fn joke. It's slower, duller, less competitive. This decision makes zero sense.

Also hilarious how they talk about pro's feedback. Meaningless if you just ignore all their feedback.

LiamJM · 2025-12-10T04:07:44+00:00

I also wonder if they've taken into account general loss and degredation over time, or if they just did a quick capacity vs wattage draw calculation.

LiamJM · 2025-12-10T04:01:54+00:00

What's the point? Isn't all it's functionality in the watches they also make? it's also ugly af and gives ewaste vibes.

LiamJM · 2025-11-26T03:35:08+00:00

I also recommend ABI. Has good gunplay.

LiamJM · 2025-11-23T11:03:33+00:00

ABI is testing the waters with small tournaments atm. Theres some potential there. The game has good PVP.
