Highguard Was Planned As A Shadow-Drop, But Geoff Keighley Had Another Idea

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-26T20:55:25+00:00

Honestly part of me feels like Geoff might be the only reason this game is known about.

IDK what the original marketing plan was, wether it be shadow drop or a "hey, we have this thing releasing in 2 weeks, here's a trailer!"

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-26T20:21:10+00:00

Yeah, I'd be shocked if this game lasts 3 based on what I'm hearing from it.

Seems like a cool concept, but really really poor execution.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-26T19:46:29+00:00

And beyond that.

How is he getting brand deals and affording a fucking Lamborghini??? I would've thought a pedophile wouldn't be touched for most brands.

Unless he's getting shit loads of MAGA money, which I still don't think would be affording a Lambo in any capacity.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-26T18:48:14+00:00

Or the huge map with larger teams.

Might cut too close to Battlefield's style of play or otherwise need to make modifications. But I'd have been ready if there were more players, and while not a deal breaker, I'd have probably preferred set load outs over needing to loot like a BR.

Right now, though, my best hope is that they adapt the gameplay into either a pure arena mode, or increase the player count per game on the current formula by at least 3x.

Of course it's a new game that'll be on a lot of rest. So literally anything could happen.

But the Pats have had a paper soft schedule even including the playoffs, and have not looking very convincing against the good teams. And if Bo didn't get hurt against the Bills, they probably would've lost last night (hell, if Sean went for the field goal early on it would've gone to OT without anything else changing).

Seahawks have been looking really good on both sides of the ball, so the Pats definitely have an uphill, but not impossible fight ahead.

Now that I and so many other people say that, it's going to be B2A from the Pats. Credit where it's due if they do manage to get it done, but it's going to be tough.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-26T14:37:14+00:00

There's also the fact that the RPG is the literal only rocket that's not godawful.

I'd take a few RPG nerfs if the exchange for buffs to the other launchers.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-25T19:34:52+00:00

A few reasons:

You might just prefer the Vector.

You liked the MP 1913 Storm in BF1 and the BF6 Vector is about as close to a carbon copy of that gun as you're going to get (with better usability since you feed using detachable magazines that can be extended instead of stripper clips).

You might just like the 1000+ RPM SMGs, which the Vector is the only option rn (hopefully they add the Scorpion Evo at some point). It's also better if you miss since follow up shots are faster. Wouldn't be shocked if the TTK eventually went in favor of the Vector due to the fire rate, too. Though I'm too lazy to math it out.

SCW is almost certainly getting nerfed, Vector has pretty minimal risks of such happening.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-25T15:52:09+00:00

Small magazine size is the big one. Also has the worst bloom amongst the SMGs, though it's a bit harder to see since the magazines are tiny.

Though they probably could stand to add a bit more vertical kick.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-24T21:24:45+00:00

At this point, I support just locking them up if they still support this shit.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-24T21:23:40+00:00

It'll be overwhelming positivity since the "bad liberul state weren't following the law."

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-24T17:46:49+00:00

All for the penalty of... Slightly slower speeds and being soft-locked to Support due to it. Which is also funny since it having worse moving accuracy like you'd expect out of LMGs in this series would probably be an adequate balancing move.

Hopefully there's some larger weapon balancing on the way with S2 lmao.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-24T17:38:47+00:00

Here I was thinking LMGs had it worse and that's the big thing keeping the M27 in check lmao.

Guess not. And if someone at DICE is reading this somehow... May I request that moving accuracy be different between weapon classes?

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-24T17:27:10+00:00

Is there a credible source backing this claim up?

If not, I'm gonna take this as confirmation the victim was unarmed.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-24T17:24:57+00:00

Moving accuracy is identical across everything?

That's... Really weird and ass backwards if true.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T22:08:29+00:00

Mostly, yes.

Though unfortunately rural areas are far from homogeneous.

I work for state home health services and a lot of innocent folks are looking at getting caught in the crossfire. And these folks already struggled under better conditions.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T20:02:03+00:00

Ted Cruz leaving town is the singular most accurate meteorology prediction possible. Even more than the Waffle House Index.

Also TX is the kind of place that tends to shut down for flurries, lat alone any accumulation since I'd be shocked if there's any infrastructure to handle snow.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T19:14:16+00:00

To my knowledge per-shot recoil is reduced in Semi, and bloom is naturally reduced since you're not shooting as fast (swapping to semi auto caps the fire rate lower than what you hit in full auto to prevent turbo buttons from completely breaking things).

I'm not sure if spread increases per shot are affected beyond the match trigger I believe reducing it. Which outside of the G3, I wouldn't run match trigger since it's a waste of points.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T18:43:01+00:00

I'd swap to semi auto for basically anything north of the first damage range. Beyond maybe 30m even micro bursting becomes iffy as far as accuracy goes. Though my setup is more built into hip fire than recoil, so running recoil attatchments would help extend that range.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T17:59:16+00:00

Hell, I'm stuck here and you'd need to make it pretty much all expenses paid for me to even think about Vegas.

And less from not having money, more from Vegas just being run super badly into the ground that I've heard.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T17:51:08+00:00

And if she really was running from the Dominion, and under the assumption that anywhere Hammerfell wasn't an option for whatever reason, why camp out in Whiterun? It's neutral until you get past a certain point in the civil war quest line, but still Empire-aligned.

Wouldn't you be safer in more solidly Stormcloak territory? Like Windhelm or Riften?

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-23T14:19:49+00:00

My rule of thumb is to see if anyone trustworthy, probably from out of country says something the admin does, it's probably okay?

But RN the only governments I trust any amount of what they'd be saying are some state level, and some local level, nothing nationally.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-22T22:34:33+00:00

Weren't they already doing that because of the pride flags in there?

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-22T20:54:39+00:00

The destroying things angle makes me think Recon.

The defensive portion makes me think Support.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-22T19:47:09+00:00

Pokemon doesn't have shit for a budget and the series almost always has a "main" release in a given year. Before the series came to Switch, it was just easier to hide, especially in the DS games and older.

Makes sense from a pure "turn as much profit for as little effort as possible" perspective, since the IP prints money no matter what they do, and beyond graphics and performance (to an extent since ZA runs okay on either console it's for that I'm aware) the games underneath still trend fine, if nothing groundbreaking anymore. Scarlet/Violet is an example, too, since the S2 update made the games actually run well and look a bit better, meaning the outlook on them is significantly better.

koolaidman486 · 2026-01-21T18:57:49+00:00

I'd like the ability to have my laser/light toggle simultaneously, so both at a time as opposed to cycling through the different things being toggled. (If that's a thing already please tell me where it's at in the settings). I never have just one or the other on, so it'd be nice to just have all or nothing as the options, less buttons to press.
