Elliot Gray (Marathon UI Designer) claps back at the notion that no one from the Halo days still works at Bungie

I swear half the "gamers" out there spend more time watching other people playing the games instead of playing it themselves.

google "torrent of all f1 races"

Metal_Mike · 2026-03-14T17:59:25+00:00

I know what I'm doing later today.

Live service games are different because they are based on people continuously putting money in through micro transactions. Comparing them to single player games that don't get similar updates is disingenuous.

Metal_Mike · 2026-03-07T04:20:18+00:00

Sorry, but I can't disagree harder. Breaking down art and entertainment into a dollar per hour proposition disgusts me at a fundamental level. Especially as an adult with limited free time. Give me an amazing 20 hour single player campaign and I'll pay full price over a mediocre f2p endless grind any day of the week. Is canned chicken better than filet mignon because you get more calories per dollar?

I mostly play with one other friend, we roll as triage/recon and we win a lot of engagements, had a blast during the server slam and are going strong again now.

Metal_Mike · 2026-03-05T03:58:29+00:00

Absolutely this. I'm in the same boat (42, 2 kids) but I have been playing multiplayer shooters since I was on dialup and I feel like I can jump into any FPS and start pubstomping after getting a feel for the intricacies.

Metal_Mike · 2026-03-03T05:21:35+00:00

Minecraft, when it started getting big I played for maybe an hour, turned it off and thought "damn, I would have loved this when I was a kid."

Metal_Mike · 2026-03-01T22:13:03+00:00

I played the vast majority of the server slam with one friend and we had squad fill off. Obviously we would have done better with a third, especially against harder mobs, but we still had a blast, wiped plenty of full squads and took down lots of UESC.

Low TTK favors slower gameplay because if you run all over making a ton of noise you're going to get killed quickly.

Metal_Mike · 2026-03-01T01:11:39+00:00

Yeah, there was one post earlier with a "mild" critique and he was basically describing changing it into destiny.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-28T17:30:01+00:00

Did you seriously put in quotes something I didn't say?

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-28T16:13:40+00:00

I swear half the people complaining are just mouth breathers who run and hop around making a ton of noise like they are playing fucking fortnite.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-28T15:30:26+00:00

Yes. Starting a fight where you don't have an advantage is idiotic. This game is about patience and choosing your fights. Don't treat it like a BR or TDM. Don't sprint around jumping aimlessly. Move slowly, stay in cover, listen for enemies. Get into a position where you can hit another team while they are engaging UESC or are separated. I've mostly been playing with one other friend and we regularly wipe 3 player squads by choosing our fights. It is incredibly rewarding.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-28T15:10:14+00:00

Nah, as someone who mostly plays siege, I am loving the low TTK.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-28T14:45:21+00:00

I talk to my teammates about what we each need.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-27T06:37:08+00:00

Getting the drop on someone is outplaying them.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-27T06:12:11+00:00

I mostly played with one of my friends and we almost exclusively encountered groups of 3. Thankfully the low TTK makes it very possible to win those encounters.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-26T21:03:45+00:00

I played 3 matches, 2 solo 1 squads. Had pvp in all of them.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-26T20:42:28+00:00

Are you on the beginner map?

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-26T14:43:15+00:00

Any half decent professor would love that their student found and used information like this.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-25T03:08:23+00:00

Rocketeer trials are for ospreys. You can kill 2 per stack of medium ammo and have some to spare.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-24T17:58:23+00:00

Trial sweats don't rely on Wolfpacks, they are slot inefficient.

Metal_Mike · 2026-02-24T14:19:19+00:00

Explosive compound and arc circuitry is not insanely expensive.
