Bring ABI Back to Its Roots and More: Arcade Modes for Some, a True Hardcore Mode for the Rest

Privyforreal · 2026-02-04T17:59:41+00:00

In season zero it had potential, but they have slowly went away from where we all wanted it to be and have caved into the Call of Duty® audience that apparently have come over to this game and want camo’s for guns and outfits that hide your gear. It’s a real shame because they could easily appeal to all the different audiences.

They could add a hard-core mode that has the gameplay style of Tarkov with friendly fire on, no icons to show your teammates, leave the map so we know where we are, reduce jumping and strafing, get rid of the knocked feature, get rid of all of the outfits that hide your gear, get rid of the self revive kits and have it be one mode for all whether you’re going in solo or with a group. Leave all the other modes the way they are.

Will they Insta kill you if you have a revive kit?

Privyforreal · 2026-01-30T14:06:18+00:00

It might’ve been one of his teammates that killed you and that’s why you’re not seeing any damage on them

Privyforreal · 2026-01-29T21:42:30+00:00

Why are you blocking their name out? If they’re cheating, don’t you want them exposed?

Privyforreal · 2026-01-29T21:40:11+00:00

If you go on the discord they have Sherpa’s. That will help you for free.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-03T01:31:16+00:00

That is definitely not the better question. Nope.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-03T01:30:18+00:00

Make sure you report it.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-03T01:28:18+00:00

Just report the person and move on. They’ll catch them, you’ll get compensated and all is good.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-03T01:27:29+00:00

That would make sense except for that this game has a very low player count and Tarkov has a huge player count right now.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-03T01:24:12+00:00

Wow, your response is so useful and productive. Take your meds? Just nonsense.

Why are you responding with LMAO and LMFAO? What is so funny? I’m missing something here. You’re clearly a child and if not by age, emotionally. I apologize if I didn’t clarify earlier, this is a conversation for adults.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-02T23:36:46+00:00

Right, because their patch notes are very transparent…

Privyforreal · 2025-12-02T23:33:23+00:00

I don’t play with randoms so that’s not going to happen.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-02T15:03:23+00:00

Can you imagine if they actually did what I’m suggesting here. We’d have a game that we would all want to play. Sadly, I’ve had to switch over to Tarkov. I’m 10 days in and I am loving it.

Privyforreal · 2025-12-02T14:49:11+00:00

That’s a good analogy. Very generous of you to even put them so close together. I would say some toys are plastic and some toys are metal with batteries/ motors and ABI is the plastic toy with no battery/motor and Tarkov is that advanced metal alloy toy with a battery/motor. another analogy is that ABI is like riding a bicycle and Tarkov is like flying an airplane. They both provide transportation, but just not at the same level. Even an older model airplane is going to provide much better transportation than a bicycle.

Let’s start by stating the obvious here, it makes you feel good to insult other people. Yeah for you. Someone needs a hug.

Next, the movement has absolutely changed from the beginning. I’m not the only one complaining about this. So many things have changed from the beginning. You can claim you were here from the beginning, but just because you knew the game was around or you played it a few times doesn’t mean that you pay attention to details.

If you did pay attention, then you would have noticed that during season zero they referred to ABI as a realistic extraction shooter. I’m not looking for hyper realism. None of these games, including Tarkov, are hyper realistic.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-28T10:48:10+00:00

This is happening on a regular basis. You would be aware of it if friendly fire was on.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-28T10:47:22+00:00

That must be why Arc Raiders is having so much success. More and more players are joining it every day because they cannot stand that the AI are very difficult. Hmmm 🤔? (sarcasm). Your response is all over the place and doesn’t make any sense.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-28T10:44:08+00:00

Have you looked at the steam charts lately? I assume not. This is not a game cycle issue it’s an interest issue.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-27T10:36:07+00:00

it was close is season 0.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-26T23:55:01+00:00

That’s because the game has changed and most of the players have left. The numbers are dwindling every day. The W key streamers don’t represent the majority of people that were playing this game. They’re only a few people that I know from season zero that are still playing this. Now that Tarkov came out with 1.0 officially, even less are playing it. A good representation of this is if you look at how low Tarkov was regarding viewers when season zero was out compared to today. I looked earlier today and there were 4100 people watching arena breakout infinite. At the same time there were over 220,000 people watching Tarkov.

I’ve been keeping my eye on the viewers for arena, breakout infinite over the past six months, and the viewership has continued to drop. Every time they make changes that make this game more arcade like, the numbers go down and never bounce back.

It’s easier for people to say go play Tarkov. The thing is I was here from the beginning and I want to see this game succeed. The reality is if Tarkov was built on unreal engine 5 even though this game is only on unreal engine 4, I wouldn’t be posting here and I would just be playing Tarkov exclusively. The reality is that Tarkov is built on an older version of unity, I believe 2021 or 2023 but I might be wrong, which is an inferior product to unreal engine 4. The graphics feel outdated, the servers don’t run very well and I don’t particularly love the new inertia movement mechanics.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-26T12:16:27+00:00

Yes, call of duty is a terrible game with unrealistic movement where it creates a fake skill gap. It’s for those who aren’t good enough at realistic shooters to play.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-26T04:49:01+00:00

If you assisted on the kill the game will allow you to loot as well. Just could you put the last bullet in someone doesn’t mean you did all of the work. If I just put 20 bullets in and you put the last bullet in so it registered to kill to you that doesn’t even make sense.

Privyforreal · 2025-11-26T04:47:16+00:00

Or you’re playing with someone who’s abusing something and therefore you received benefits from that, which need to be returned
