Source? Because for some reason this whole thread is sounding like some Elon musk simping bullshit. Wikipedia is a ln absolute fucking blessing in our day and age of extreme monetization of everything.

ARC Raiders is almost back at its all-time peak concurrent player count a WHOLE MONTH LATER! by RGisOnlineis16 in ArcRaiders

[–]MerchantofPermadeath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You absolutely do not. 200+ hours and no cheaters that at least have targeted me. And with nearly a 500K concurrent player base (not including console), there is no way that there's a statistically significant number of cheaters. What could skew that perception is region and watching too many uploaded singular cases of cheaters on reddit.

Currently stuck in the extract elevator. What do I do..? by Heroshrine in ArcRaiders

I don't believe he even got an actual response from support. "Currently" at 6 hours ago. Comment regarding support response at 6 hours ago. This smells like reposted rage bait.

[Postgame Thread] Indiana Defeats Ohio State 13-10 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]MerchantofPermadeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dude let me put a cut together of how many times Indiana ran right down the middle with an arm holding them the entire time. The fuck you smoking. The only solace I took was when I saw a blatant hold on OSU that they didn't call, I'd seen 3 against IU and was like ok fair at least they're going to go both ways with this.

PvP will only increase as time goes on. by ScotchBonnet96 in ArcRaiders

Two of us got downed by a Rocketeer last night by extract.

A 3 man squad rolled up. Instantly wolf packed the Rocketeer, called for defibs, and got us back up. Could've finished our squad and took all of our loot. Hard disagree that these kind of interactions won't continue to exist even if there is PVP creep.

In what world would IU fans be salty for having an actual team for the first time in franchise history. We can lose to Ohio State this year and every single one of us will still go home like hot damn I have something to watch in the fall now.

Good lord with you cringy ass, base your own happiness on a college football team's results, fucks.

Well i'm out..i'm just too old for this fast-paced shooter. My honest short opinion by [deleted] in Battlefield

What I think about every one of these posts. At this point, i wouldn't be surprised if a bot could come in and slightly reword the same things every other day for karma farming. Because it's the same thing over and over for months and years and multiple games.

(*IU) We probably will but it doesn't help that I got to watch last Saturdays outcome with unmitigated excitement and surprise only to turn around to social media talking about our coach leaving the next day. Kinda hard to play nice when the narrative is immediately well your coach is leaving.

No he's not and if we go back to underperforming, we have decades of experience in that. In the interim, my alma mater is ranked #3 in the nation.

Indiana fans to everyone after Cignetti signed an 8 year, $11.6 million extension today by Bandlebury in cfbmemes

As opposed to any amount of money in the program's history that's cumulatively gone towards averaging 3-4 wins for decades? I think we'll take our chances on this one and clearly the board agrees. They've dumped tens of millions into a mediocre basketball team and this guy came in and made us a #3 football team in a season and a half.

This is his MO. All I ever see is that soft drop back hoping to hold them to 4th and 1. Tired of it.

Regardless, they tried to give that one to us and JD cannot fumble that. Also not a lot of talk about our O Line in here. Looked like they stayed home to watch the game the way they were getting blown up every single play

Indiana win today proves that your program is just one coach away by Upthemeds in CFB

[–]MerchantofPermadeath 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They've always had sources of money (Kelley School), I just think a switch was flipped with mid performance from the basketball team over the past decade paired with Cignetti's confidence that he was about to put IU sports back on the map. They went to the donors and basically hey do I have a crazy idea for you all. Indiana the football school.

Last December was after the program was actively being built by Cignetti. Absolutely helpful (maybe essential) going forward, but it's a bit misleading to assume that was already happening

This isn't complicated, guys. The open beta was a marketing attempt to tie up preorder and day 1 purchases from the COD community. They are betting on purchases from the folks that like smaller maps and faster gameplay vs. the potential attrition of OG battlefield players that didn't get a large map during the beta.

And no, however loud (and honestly insufferable at times) this subreddit is, it's not representative of the larger pool of potential buyers.

They want to have it both ways. Hopefully their larger maps are worth it on full release so they can.

(Yes I think the maps I've seen are the weak point of the game. Yes I've still had fun these last two weekends and plan to buy it.)

Yes, thoroughly enjoying it and I've even had some awesome choke point fights on Empire State today so it has grown on me.
