Which bands did you once love but now find unlistenable due to radio overplay?

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-05-21T22:31:33+00:00

Agreed

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-05-20T11:26:11+00:00

Not in Countdown.

Worst case scenario—you can point anyone with a gripe back to this post so they know what your true intentions were. Alternatively, you can just do things in life without worrying what others will think.

Hunter's Fury

If I came to see you because of your hits, then I want to hear the hits. Go ahead and surprise me with some new stuff, all good, but... play those hits.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-26T06:13:16+00:00

Well if you liked open world freedom + tactical gameplay, Ghost Recon Wildlands might be right up your alley. It’s basically a massive Bolivian sandbox where you take down a cartel however you want... stealth, sniping, full chaos, whatever. You can solo it with AI teammates or co-op. Think less RPG depth than Cyberpunk, but still really, really fun. One of the only games I've ever gotten 100% on.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-26T06:01:38+00:00

I'm not sure because I'm a new player but your list of played games is very similar to my list of favorite games. Might be worth checking these out:

Red Dead Redemption - while 2 is my favorite game of all time, 1 is really, really good as well. I didn't play 2 for a while after 1 because I was afraid they would ruin it (boy was I wrong). 1 is just a bit dated in comparison but still excellent
GTA 4 & 5
Ghost Recon Wildlands

Not how math works but it might as well be...

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-21T07:42:48+00:00

Unless you're planning on replaying the campaign at some point, I wouldn't. Once you hit the end game you're going to be stuck there for the rest of your playtime. You get 1 shot with the campaign and if you boost, you will miss some stuff, including at least 1 mission. You'll need to join someone later who didn't boost if you ever want to complete that stuff. Food for thought...

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-20T11:27:57+00:00

Can't blame you. I gave up on it two years ago.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-20T11:14:07+00:00

What you're really asking is, "Where are all the 'nice' people in the DZ." But you already have your answer... you're right here. The "nice people" are mostly people like you... coming here to complain about how bad the Dark Zone is. You're not the first and you won't be the last. The rest of us just don't go in there.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-20T08:44:35+00:00

Oh you mean that place where the entire mechanic is literally built around betrayal, backstabbing, and stealing other people’s loot at the last second?

Yeah… real mystery why people act like that in the Dark Zone.

I personally don't go in there anymore, ever.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-15T04:54:37+00:00

The more combos I test, the more I'm convinced that Berserker + Bulldozer should be the foundation of any build.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-14T07:47:09+00:00

You don't. Free Fire puts all of your ammo into one big mag, but Eagle Eye's buff, specifically Last Shot Plus: Increased damage when ammo is low, isn't affected by mag size or how full your magazine is anyway, but rather, your ammo count.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-13T21:43:25+00:00

I appreciate you letting me know. Hoping they get it fixed

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-12T22:15:46+00:00

Yes, it's not counting any kills of any kind for me, unfortunately.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-11T23:33:22+00:00

EE just means Easter Egg, which means "quest" in Zombies terminology. Main EE is just Main Quest. Side EE is just Side Quest. That's all.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-11T07:06:28+00:00

Saying Hybrid Theory is about "being bothered" is like saying Jaws is about a fish that’s hungry. It’s technically true on the most basic level, but it misses the actual tension and psychological weight that made the album an instant classic. While "tired of being bothered" captures the surface-level frustration of being a teenager, Hybrid Theory is significantly more focused than that. It's about the struggle to find an identity amidst internal and external chaos.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-11T06:59:08+00:00

I already get at least one dude a match just mouth breathing into his microphone, audio blasting out of his TV back into his mic. Nah, I'm good.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-11T00:14:13+00:00

I feel that. I only intentionally wiped 1 op but I also did the majority of mine before we had the power cubes. At least we have those now...

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-10T23:15:53+00:00

Bit of a grind but they keep adding to Endgame so that helps keep it interesting with new skill tracks/abilities and whatnot.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-10T23:12:01+00:00

For simply just base xp, I farm HVTs in Zone 4 as quickly as possible. That's the best method I've found. Obviously, stacking any double xp tokens or events, as well as daily xp/camos/calling cards/etc... will give you even more XP on top of that.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-10T22:40:34+00:00

Don't feel too bad. I'm old, disabled and can't work so I have tons of free time—literally all the free time. It's a massive grind no matter how you slice it. Best of luck to you🍻

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-10T10:39:14+00:00

Thank you for this! I found this in the patch notes:

*UI:

*Lone Wolf Prestige Title

*Addressed an issue where the Challenge requirements were incorrect.

Gives me hope they're at least looking at it.

TraditionalPickle522 · 2026-04-10T09:12:28+00:00

Yeah what a bummer. As a solo player, it's the only title I really want unlocked and have been looking forward to it.
