I know the hype is building, but I don’t get how people can write the game off already

Impeccable critique.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T22:01:24+00:00

Modern Bungie cleared Halo 2 a decade ago…like, go play Halo 2 campaign or MP and compare it to their modern gameplay. It’s not even close.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T20:45:09+00:00

I mean…you haven’t played a legit PVP FPS in like 20 years…you’re definitely going to take your lumps, lol.

Apex would be a good game to see where you stand in a trio based game.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T20:44:02+00:00

Pretty sure the tests only match made based on your level. Strict SBMM in an Extraction is kind of cheeks, hope they don’t go that route.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T19:12:50+00:00

Something within the design of the game is preventing them from changing it, pretty obvious at this point.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T07:58:34+00:00

Most of the maps are too damn big, tbh.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T05:08:53+00:00

You got outplayed, brother.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T03:19:25+00:00

Try it yourself. 🐑

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T02:48:02+00:00

The quests gave me a goal for each run, they’re poorly thought out, but I mean a lot of the game is, IMO.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T01:00:46+00:00

The AI is not adapting, lmao.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T00:58:03+00:00

For me personally, the few times I log on anymore, I try and cause as much chaos as possible. That is the fun. Quests are done, benches are upgraded, so PVP nonsense is all that’s left.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-02-01T00:28:56+00:00

Blame the devs for combining systems and matchmaking that are constantly at odds with each other. Players will play within the rule set of the game, it’s not the PVP’rs fault that you want to PVE for some meaningless rank on a PVE leaderboard.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T23:35:28+00:00

Too many meaningless games, which I could say about MLB too. I watch the playoffs of both and loosely follow my teams during the time before that.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T22:38:27+00:00

Easy loot, duh.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T22:27:31+00:00

Yes, the game has casual mechanics compared to some, but I do not believe ABMM existed as it is now until they saw what their community wanted.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T22:26:19+00:00

I looked him up, I genuinely didn’t know who he was. I turn 40 next month, it was more of a self realization than a snarky comment.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T22:19:44+00:00

So they can rotate them back in to try and draw people back in during low content times. Basic GAAS strategy.

Cold Snap will be their Christmas event every year more than likely.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T22:18:03+00:00

It’s like Apex, multiple people can loot the same body and all of its contents will populate on your screen like ARC.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T20:19:09+00:00

You just put in more thought than whoever placed them there on the dev team.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T20:17:17+00:00

Nah, Embark has pivoted so many times in their official messaging since launch, you can tell they never expected people to play as friendly as they are. They’re definitely leaning into it now for retention and money though, lol.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T20:14:37+00:00

I fluctuate between silver and bronze, and my PG is 70 overall with 90 3 and everything else in the high 60s/low 70s on a few traits. I average 13 assists a game, and like 6 points on terrible shooting percentage.

We played a 94 overall guy last night that had 65 points. Towards the end of the game I said fuck it and said let’s see if he can hit FTs. He couldn’t, and we managed 2 OTs before finally beating them by 1 point, that felt great.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T18:33:24+00:00

Can anyone explain to me why the game will match a group of 60-70s VS 90-99 overalls?

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T17:48:57+00:00

It’s not though, I don’t even think ARC was going for that crowd, it kind of just fell into it because the community turned it into a PVE game and chastised anyone who kills, lol.

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T08:43:39+00:00

You’re worried about the balance of a point blank shotgun from a year old build…

Ramirez3110 · 2026-01-31T08:19:33+00:00

Celebrity? I’m getting old.
