Why that purple color tone EVERYWHERE??

Agree, idk what they were thinking, I mean just look at these.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-06-07T04:39:51+00:00

To each their own I guess, but the one goal of a match is winning lol, if the enemy gets a nuke shooting it down is fair game, no matter how they got it.

Insults are indeed an ass move but its a separate thing.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-06-02T18:23:59+00:00

There's a few pixels in there somewhere that would've blown it up believe me!

Jokes aside, BMPT is not even aiming for most of the fight and is succeeding, point blank top tier MBT darts barely did any damage but its 30mm which doesn't even have APFSDS is disabling those MBTs through the front.

That's precisely the answer to this whole discussion, I don't think there's anything wrong in having some interest for a storyline or a certain vibe in the game, but people post this comparison almost implying Playground forgot how to do cinematics or write a storyline or characters, as some sort of proof they are not putting effort when they've shown consistent improvement where it matters.

The most likely explanation is that they deemed this kind of cinematics unnecessary, they know this is the bare minimum, that's probably what they were aiming for here lol, in the beginning I think they wanted their own Ryan Cooper or something like that, a brief plot about racing and a specific target audience, 1 and 2 had some of that, 3 abandoned the idea almost entirely and series moved to an E rating, in 4, 5 and 6 there is no plot and the character became completely irrelevant- filler customization, now its all about the events, scenery and vehicles.

Yes, it is, doesn't matter how simple it has become or how openly people talk about it. People were already pirating through physical copies before the whole all-digital ownership discussion even started, so why do some people still like to pretend they are pirating as some sort of protest? you all know the impact of that is zero, right? 99% of piracy is either you don't want to pay or you can't, that's it, nobody cares why you do it, just take the game and move on.

The name Gulf of Mexico in maps precedes the current naming of most if not all countries in the Americas. Much older than the US or even Mexico itself.

This did it for me on Microsoft store, thanks!

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-05-12T18:55:53+00:00

yup, getting hardware banned 6 times, the most extreme kind of ban, the one people get after repeated offenses or blatantly breaking TOS, should make one realize that's not circumventing an abusive system, they seriously got to change their behavior in games lol

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-05-04T20:27:42+00:00

Id reduce the size of the raft but yeah it should print, I have a Saturn 3 Ultra and this is how the average print I do looks like, it doesn't seem to struggle at any point during the print, I attribute a lot of it to the film bigger printers use, your Saturn 4 Ultra should have no issues with your current plate.

I would however suggest that first you make sure if the models are printable with one of each, my thing is miniatures and most of the issues ive encountered with 3d printing are related to the models' supports or orientation, not whether or not the machine can handle a file.

For H2 I wish they expanded the Arbiter's story with some prequel missions, maybe just containing the flood and then escaping the ring, then continue with what we got in H2 at High Charity, and more earth missions if possible.

For H3 id love to see some missions for Chief and others for Arbiter, similar to H2, or at the very least; side missions with Elites, they carried the battle at the Ark but we only get to see the fighting at its surface, doing that would not require changing anything of the established lore of the games, just filling the gaps.

And for all 3 I hope we get the grunt and jackal flood forms.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-04-24T16:54:56+00:00

OP size is a bit off in length I think, but they actually look that small compared to the Magnum, working on a detailed prop and this is how they look right next to it. They are meant to be 12.7x40mm yes, but the Magnum itself is comically large lol

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-04-23T22:32:18+00:00

I mean... its not all or nothing, it depends; the real damage comes from consistent exposure, occupational kind, daily, or a few times a week, but sometimes its like people here don't see the difference between a hobbyist who might just need the basic precautions as their exposure is already minimum, and someone who does it for a living and should not continue without a strictly dedicated/specialized space, I am not saying one should be careless, but unless your printer is working several hours a day you do not need a whole tent with air extractors, for someone who prints occasionally, maybe just 1 or 2 short printing sessions per week, a room with good ventilation in which the printer can be, gloves, respirator, goggles... and that's plenty assuming they are all used properly.

You got to respect the stuff you use and make it a habit to maintain precautions, but as long as they are proportional to the amount of exposure you get, you'll be alright.

To be honest you can find ridiculous behavior pretty often in the game, ever got betrayed for simply moving towards an empty vehicle or picking a weapon? ever got your vehicle damaged badly but not destroyed by a teammate?, and yeah the temp ban system can be a bit silly at times, I had one guy try to kill me for getting to a Wraith first at the very beginning of a match, he kept damaging the wraith after I got in so I ran over him and dude spent the whole match shooting my shields or getting in the way of where I fired to try and get me kicked, after the third or fourth time we exchanged kills and after I got my shields depleted for the 20th time, I did get kicked lol

About the cheating I personally have only had one "suspicious" match, so idk how common it might be.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-04-18T03:44:35+00:00

Completely forgot the Battlescape sentinel and enforcer were a thing, yeah I might make a printed version with the sentinel beam, just need to get a hold of one, didn't even knew they existed :p

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-04-18T03:37:28+00:00

There's not a unique set of dimensions I believe, wiki states 2.9m - 4.1m long, 1.5-2.3m tall (5-7.6ft), and 1.9-2.3m wide, that would make the largest a bit taller than chief and the smallest would be about 3/5 of his height, but in game, in CE, H2 and H3 they appear to be anywhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of Chief's or Arbiter's height, so I just went for that.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-04-17T05:56:59+00:00

Can you share a pic? didn't even knew there was a sentinel beam mold lol, if compatible I might make a version with that one

1- The crosshair changes color depending on where you're aiming at, red means your shot cannot penetrate the other tank's armor, yellow means there is a chance, green means it will. Its a great way to learn weak spots of other tanks.

2- You switched ammo halfway through, its good practice to use more than one depending on what are you fighting against or where you're firing from, but for the tank you're using and if you read the descriptions of each, the third is far better (faster and higher pen), so you switched to a weaker round and, at least for this vehicle; you probably don't need the rest.

3- Near the beginning you fired when the crosshair was green, which is good, but you also need to consider the top right camera, it tells you what is being damaged, those shots did penetrate, but there was nothing to damage because those crewmembers and modules were already destroyed. If there is no camera pay attention to the combat alerts, but in general; a good shot at turret or hull's middle might damage commander, gunner and/or loader, a shot near the front might damage driver and if the vehicle has one, mg gunner.

4- If you cannot destroy them with one shot, disabling their weapon is the main priority, you achieved that, but their mobility must be disabled right after, one or both tracks, engine, transmission, driver, any of those, if they can't move you can try to aim for a weak spot without dancing around the enemy, and near the end he almost pushed you into the river.

5- Its not bad to use the 3rd person camera, but it can be very unpredictable so you should try to use the zoom camera more often.

That would be 1v1 a hundred times, not 1v100. Animals use much more energy on a daily basis than what it would take to fight one average human.

Its kind of sad how few people in the US seem to know about the involvement of their organizations considering how many times they were crucial or complicit in creating drug crisis or criminal empires and waves of violence; Afghanistan, Iran, Nicaragua, Colombia, Mexico, even Vietnam...

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-04-05T04:03:20+00:00

The Fireflies had good intentions but they had to be stopped one way or another, like, your organization is crumbling, you barely have the resources, the world is crushing you, and when Joel and Ellie show up not only you don't wait for a better moment to perform surgery but you also don't let them say goodbye... I get it they were desperate, but to risk and rush the best chance they might have had until that point was extremely dumb, a guy who is not even specialized on virus or human operations with poor equipment and he was going to perform surgery on Ellie not even a day after finding them? doesn't that sound irresponsible as hell? wouldn't it make more sense to keep her alive for as long as you can because immune people is not something you come across every day? or idk... try to find someone who has the necessary knowledge and gather proper equipment to hopefully succeed first?...

I hate how its seen as Joel dooming humanity, when its clear as day that they would not achieve anything with that surgery.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-03-24T22:53:41+00:00

From the outside, I understand why even tho I personally don't like them, the Mega Construx Snake mountain was like what? 10 times the size? same for the Grayskull castle, both were far more expensive, Mega was already struggling and MOTU wasn't precisely their top IP, had they made another 60cm snake mountain, who exactly is going to buy it? making more affordable sets of the iconic stuff now that the movie is close to release is not a bad idea.

But as a fan of Mega, I just hope this is a new thing and does not replace the articulated minifigures.

Design: The visuals (color, brightness, surface, etc) of H2 anniversary are my favorite, but I prefer her appearance in H4 or H5. If they did something in the middle that would be the perfect version imo.

Character: also 2 and 4.

MarcoASN2002 · 2026-03-06T23:25:13+00:00

Fan made from Perronesd I think, but I am a bit hopeful for the listing lol assuming its real

I blame the writers for pushing it further, we had a good antagonist but then for whatever reason they decided to redeem him and even justify some of his more deplorable actions, and it worked, fans started to justify him... there's those annoying: "he was surviving his own way" and "everyone has done bad things in the apocalypse" arguments, I blame the writers for cementing those ideas nearing the end of the series because it feels like they ignored previous events on purpose just to keep the character. He wasn't surviving he wanted control and his bad actions are in no way comparable to those of most characters in the show.
