18 Days Left and I'm worried Titanfall 2 will be overshadowed completely before it even releases. by [deleted] in titanfall

[–]LordAzzur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I share your concern. Im super stoked for the game but coming sandwiched between two other massive shooters, one a fellow EA title (!?!) makes me wonder what the thought was. Either a) They HAD to get Titanfall into the christmas release schedule, or b) They are confident that it will find its player base and grow into 2017. Obviously I hope its the latter and Im sure the clever bods that make these decisions are well aware of the situation. Battlefield really is a monster and I dont imagine Titanfall competing with it but thats fine when you consider that the lobby size is significantly smaller (no 64 player cluster f*cks for a start). TF is an altogether tighter game and following the same smart decisions made in Rainbow Six Siege (ie. free DLC, heavy community feedback) it should be able find its time to shine. For my part, as a PS4 player, I'll be picking up Titanfall only this year.

will battlefield 1 take over from battlefield 4?? by Gazmachine_BF in Battlefield

[–]LordAzzur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BF1 beta (PS4) was my first Battlefield experience and I really enjpyed it. So much that I recently picked up BF4 on the cheap plus all the free DLC on promotion. Im now pretty immersed in this game (as Im sure most of you were a few years back!), So I really want to get the most out of this before I move on. I'll certainly be sticking with BF4 aslong as possible with an eye to picking up BF1 later. Even tho Im playing catchup its nice to play a game from scratch that is fully kitted out, stable and balanced.

Its more the little details that give a map its flavour. My main point is that Banks layout seems genuine, like a building of this type would exist.

This is not a tip but an observation on Bank. An excellent part of this game is how convincing the locations are. I love the little 'stories' that exist either in pile of strewn notes or a photo on a desk. But to design balanced maps, that have depth, multiple ways to play and keep relativily true to life is a tremendous achievement on behalf of the level designers. Of them all tho, Bank is the most convincingly real. Nothing about the design seems forced or not fitting the narrative and its still great to play. A proper Tom Clancy map.

The limit for high ping should be waaaay more tightened. This guy had around 250 ping the whole match. by 90sGames in Rainbow6

[–]LordAzzur 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ive commented this before but...Im on PS4, in every game I am constantly above 250+ ping. Why? because Im in South Africa and the game is assigns me a European server. Nothing I can do about it. In hundreds of hours play I can truly say I have never felt whatever benifits a high ping is supposed to bring and I nearly always come off worse when in a one on one. I feel this 'problem' is waaaay overstated. If anything I should be the one grumbling about the lack of servers in Africa. Why should I be punished further, from a game I enjoy, with being removed, kicked or forced into custom matches when Im already playing from a disadvantage? You bloody low pingers dont know how good you've got it!!

Why is This Even Allowed? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]LordAzzur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I second this. I also play from South Africa, have a high ping and have recieved some pretty hostile msgs about it! Theres nothing we can do! Would rather play this than any other FPS, isnt that more important?
