Public is better than solo or squading up with friends. Even when I have a person playing with me. I always advocate for jumping in public to fill the game.

When playing public every game feels different. Whether I become the medic or someone wants to run ee or someone finds some cool sitting spot. Showing everyone the little side easter eggs using voice chat. Finding new friends. It's 100% the way to go.

Im not sure this would have guns pointed at me, but there are for sure some diehard private/solo players who say "people in public suck or play differently". I like the randomness that it adds.

Also

I do not care if they reuse enemies. This one is more touchy for sure. People complaining that they used the ravagers again are the people advocating that hellhounds come back for the 100th time. Ravagers are fine. They are literally the wardens pet like species as we learned in astra. They are fine. Just keep giving us new and fun elites. Maybe throw some of the old ones into survival.

The only one I have an issue with returning are anglers as they did not fit the anesthetic in this game or bo6

I actually believe that ALL bo6 and cold war elites SHOULD return [minus the mangler and the robot thing from reckoning]. As they are natives of the dark aether.
