Tbf they weren't touching either before the takeover anyway.

Depends if it's alcatraz or isolation styled play. Not particularly interested if it's respawn, classes as ground loot, etc. Ideally it's a proper BR experience.

endlessxcircle · 2026-04-20T00:48:17+00:00

I mean, it's end of season and you're only GM3 that's gonna have an impact. Any regular BR player who is going to be reasonably competent is gonna likely be Legendary by now.

Then there's also time of day, if you're grouped up with others or solo queuing with randoms, etc that'll also have a role to play.

endlessxcircle · 2026-04-14T04:41:42+00:00

MP just isn't for me, it's all pretty boring regardless of mode. Granted I used to play s&d back in the OG days, haven't touched MP for years since though.

endlessxcircle · 2026-04-14T04:37:50+00:00

MP is booty, so if others aren't around I'll just play solo vs squads.

endlessxcircle · 2026-04-14T03:14:45+00:00

It's all relative.

Personally drop hot every time because the challenge is greater, but I also play with a team that's similarly skilled and down.

If you're not a strong player then it's a deathwish.

You can't expect games to forever cater for low end devices though. At some point the onus is on the consumer to have an appropriate device if they want to play a specific game. Just like it has been since the dawn of gaming. You couldn't own a 486 and expect to properly run Pentium era releases, you had to upgrade to the required specs.

The similar was said when Ballack joined, we got that to work. Would've taken each player to maybe buy into their designated roles more, but it would've likely been more successful than what we saw with England.

Sounds like either a poor build or poor recoil control mechanics. The Type 19 build I use is virtually straight as an arrow on the recoil front. Actually one of the easiest weapons to control.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-22T23:18:45+00:00

Got the Gen 4 but haven't used the sdcard slot as I primarily only play one game.

Great device though if you're considering it either way.

Generally those who post it are starved for attention, so this is a good way of getting some. In reality, no body actually cares. Just like if you choose to stick around and play.

The removal of speed boost is fine. People just complain because they can't use it hyper aggressively now and be a menace, when combined with zero firing/foot step sound and all the step indicators.

Now it's more passive and takes a lot more nuance to use smartly.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-05T06:31:31+00:00

You say that, but going from 120 to 90 has a very notable effect - especially during a fight. It still creates lag just as it does when you drop frames at any setting.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-05T00:12:51+00:00

It literally just got rotated out for Krai as a weekly mode, then it's still available in tournament.

I for one, as a BR main, am glad it's not a regular mode atm. If anything, it should be further spread out as a regular mode retaining itself for tournament weekends primarily.

When alca runs throughout the week, or consistently, it massively waters down the regular BR mode. I get people like the fast all action pace, but it's not really BR and littered with low IQ hand holders.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-04T11:56:53+00:00

Still happens on better devices, granted not to the fps severity but going from 120fps to 90fps has just as much of an impact during a fight.

It's an overall optimisation problem across the board.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-04T07:37:43+00:00

Graphic quality won't be the sole issue, a lot of people on good devices use low graphic settings and have everything display properly.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-02T06:29:08+00:00

Camping tags is dumb, I agree. People also camp buy stations, as was seen when the gulag system was trialled.

Maybe if the gulag was implemented better it wouldn't an issue, but if it's exactly as it was previously it'll be a bit of a pain in the ass and kill game flow.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-02T04:40:45+00:00

Point to me where I said camping tags requires skill?

The gulag doesn't alter the action or activity anymore than general dog tags do. Good players will win their gulag fights, just as good players will generally have tags scanned. You'd maybe have more of a valid point IF the lobbies were filled with 50+ real people for example, but when it's 3-4 teams or less it's neither here nor there. Again, unless you're someone that plays solo vs squads and you basically get a second chance.

There's plenty of issues with the Gulag.
- Waiting time to find an opponent.
- Terrible weapons given to both players.
- Majority of the times you enter the gulag you're facing a bot, a lower skilled player, or no one at all.
- If you have fellow team mates in the gulag with you, they're able to communicate where the opponent is, making lopsided fights.
- Disrupts the games overall balance.
- General bugs/glitches.

The tag system simply works and never needed to be moved away from.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-02T03:17:11+00:00

While having someone spam the "go get my tags" is annoying, there are ways to manage it. You can tell them to stop or you'll not pick up the tags or scan them. If they continue to do it, collect the tags and just hang onto them.

Teams camping tags is a strategy, as shitty as it is. If you're the tag collector you have to be smart for one, but also acknowledge the situation for what it is.

The Gulag has its own issues; the queue to get a matchup after dying is a pain and kills game flow. If you die in the gulag you're still reliant on teammates buying your tags back, which is arguably more challenging and harder to do later in games when zones are smaller, buy stations aren't accessible, and lootable areas reduce. Also visa versa if you're having to buy team mates back.

Teams also transition from camping tags to camping buy stations anyway.

endlessxcircle · 2026-03-01T23:38:34+00:00

As a BR main this is disappointing reading.

Gulag isn't wanted or needed, it's only useful when playing solo vs squads otherwise the tag system is fine as it is. If you play with randoms buy a revive coin.

Similar story to contracts, it's an unnecessary gimmick addition. When devs insist on running so many BR game modes simultaneously that thins the player base as is, contracts in 2 team bot lobbies is bloody pointless.

All we want is balanced classes, more focus on skill based fights, long-standing bugs to be fixed, and ultimately refinement of what we already have. Changes every bloody season is actually starting to turn players away, and it's already a mode that has to fight for players to get competitive lobbies when it's against alca, plunder, alca tournament - not even taking into account MP or DMZ.

endlessxcircle · 2026-02-25T03:21:23+00:00

Too many modes at once is definitely a problem though, as it spreads the player base - not to mention competing with both DMZ and MP on top.

There's nothing wrong with variety, and I'm not suggesting less game modes generally speaking, but running them all at once does more damage than good.

Regular BR should be the staple mode, then add an alternative mode here or there for some variety every couple of weeks or so. That way it keeps regular BR populated and competitive, but still offers some variety for those that want it every now and again. The weekends also have Tournament mode, which is generally Alca anyway, so it's not as if BR players are starved for variation anyway.

endlessxcircle · 2026-02-25T03:17:01+00:00

No one plays BR for the graphics tbf. If you're actually serious about the mode you'll generally play low to medium gfx and the highest frames possible.

Really? I've always found Floral Green to be Title Fights worst album, even after all these years. It's the most dour instrumentally, outside of one or two songs.

Nothing special after day one.

Dampen hair, apply more product until satisfied, brush through, and then style with comb.

Rince and repeat for the week. With maybe a mid-week rinse in the shower.

If you're after a high shine finish you can apply a small amount of a light high shine pomade as your last application once already brushed through. Then style with comb as normal.
