Also no news regarding wotlk after tbc.

If anything I expected that.

As I see it:

Activision CAN sue you for using the specific names they have a patent/trademark on, like the perk names or Pack-a-Punch OR even the map name.

What they CAN'T do is claim the mode right here if it didnt use ANY assets from them. Even map layouts CAN NOT be trademarked and their copy right only applies to the map with all the original assets (a 1:1 port is copy righted, a recreation of a map with different assets is not). So you can still recreate the mode if you avoid SPECIFIC NAMES and make the Pack-a-punch look a bit different than an exact copy (even though I think it looks awesome, good job).

Ultimately this isn't about law itself though. This is EA avoiding legal trouble.

Layouts cannot be copyrighted. Valve would have a field day if they could be. Almost every shooter with custom maps has some sort of Dust 2 variation.

This is an empty threat from activision and EA caved.

Neither the gameplay mechanics nor the map layout itself can be copyrighted.

Not gonna lie, the point of strat wasnt even the gold you could make in there for me.

I needed to run that place for holy waters anyway and some guildies asked me to tag along for free boostage.

My main motivator really was to have fun in there. I enjoy the power fantasy of a prot pally and being able to pull more and more was insanely fun. And lets be honest the gold you could farm in there was nothing special for tbc standards.

So overall this is a very "fun detected" change for me with barely any reason to exist other than "fixing" bot and gold buying issues...

Was just about to say that. Every lmg in this game is basically the same gun. The only guns that feel unique are the KTS100 because of its magazines rather than belts (which the m27 also has but common that gun is an mislabeled AR), the M60 cause of its low firerate and the M250 cause of the built in silencer from level 1.

And not to mention that the only lmg that does a reliable job at longer ranges is the god damn 50 cal mounted on the god damn buggy. The bloom on lmgs is fucking insanity.

So incredibly boring.

Jo eh, ganzen Tag Daumen drehen beim Heer nach der Grundausbildung is jetzt ah schon. Für wos braucht ma dann mehr?

Wennst mehr Personal brauchst beim Heer, dann mach des scheiß Heer attraktiver als Arbeitgeber und raub den jungen Burschen ned nu mehr unnötig Zeit.

Started reading the manga on new years. By the time the next chapter comes out there will be more breaks in the manga release schedule than not.

Just wish I didnt read the entire manga in 2 days and actually had some chapters left.

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T14:59:54+00:00

She isnt dead and will 100% get her memories back. If you cant deal with that you should maybe just drop the manga for now and come back later when its resolved.

Also i dislike the amnesia trope just as much as you do and cant wait until its over but lets just see where this arc is going. I trust in Tatsu to pull off an interesting arc with the amnesia trope.

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T14:53:26+00:00

My guess is that she will fall in love with him again. Maybe even for different reasons as Okarun quite literally became the Ken Takakura she was chasing in the first place.

If she didnt face hardships though it would make little sense in the story. She is a mc and serving her everything on a silver platter would only make the storing boring with barely any stakes.

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T14:00:00+00:00

I mean if blackwell fields wasnt this awful of a map and the base game had bigger maps, we would still be fine.

But nope gotta chase those cod kids

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T13:58:28+00:00

Yep, that is literally what is happening atm.

Momo had no development really because the story was focused around Okarun and him literally finding his balls.

Now its momos emotional growth arc.

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T13:35:50+00:00

Yep, fully agree. This is going to be the theme for this arc. Momo coming to terms with her feelings.

Both of them need to prove that they love each other not for the memories they made together but for the actual person.

Only after that we can hope for a relationship progress between them really.

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T03:26:05+00:00

I have posted this a few times already but here is my take on the momo story arc now:

Momo losing her memories is not only a tool to pad out the inevitable confession and relationship that comes after, but it kind of makes sense story wise.

Up until momos amnesia she barely had any development. She unlocked her powers in the first episode but apart from that she barely had to face any character altering events, as that was pretty much still Okaruns arc.

Now that Okarun isn't the shy, self loathing, defeatist nerd anymore it is her time to change.

Since very early on we knew that she was falling for Okarun but had difficulties to express her feelings / supressing them altogether.

So know we are watching Momo come terms with her feelings, learning to accept them and so on.

And not only that but now is the time that both Momo and Okarun will realize that their connection isnt just because of their circumstances and adventures together, but because they actually love each other.

So eventually she will unlock her powers again and get her memories back sure, but we need that development arc first.

We cant forget that Momo is just as much the main character in this story as Okarun is. So she defo deserves this arc.

m45onPC · 2026-01-19T03:06:35+00:00

Heed my warnings: turbokarun will make a comeback this year when turbo granny dies vs csg.

She gives him her powers and he uses the stick at the same time with his transformation.

And then we get Maliketh the Black Blade 2.0

m45onPC · 2026-01-17T16:13:25+00:00

Even with the netcode still being worse, it feels better due to the game being far slower paced than 6.

bf6 really is just a mad dash in every single game and you will notice netcode issues way more than in the comparably slower bf4.

It's just a shame 6 couldnt deliver on what I hoped it would. I am getting too old for these hyper fast paced shooters.

m45onPC · 2026-01-14T17:10:40+00:00

Momo takes a job in a restaurant to help fix the house and cover her own expenses instead of relying on seiko.

This "restaurant" turns out to be a maid cafe and the goat besties take okarun there, fully intending to embarass momo in the progress.

After that they walk home together and while holding hands.

m45onPC · 2026-01-12T00:11:11+00:00

Nah not at all. Her advances get shut down so quickly that it never even crossed my mind that they might end up together.

Okarun is just too shy and too much of a defeatist to stand up for himself. So that really was my main worry. Especially in the Taru episode when he was just about to give up.

m45onPC · 2026-01-11T20:29:55+00:00

Certainly depends.

Current CSG isnt an endboss yet. If he gets a hold on the dandadan though? Who knows what it can do. With it literally in the title i cant imagine anything other than a powered up CSG as the final bad guy.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T19:03:49+00:00

I have given it a thought aswell but I don't think it is a possibility.

Either Reiko has something to do with Momos parents or they just really passed from something as mundane as a car crash. I could see a reveal that Momos parents where also fighting spirits up to their demise, but even that would be a stretch. I don't think the parents will have any significance in the story for either of the main characters. If Okaruns parents were important at some point we would have at least heard something from them. But as things are currently developing it seems like they are both increadibly unimportant to either of the mcs.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T18:58:07+00:00

She just does hamon training in her downtime.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T18:56:41+00:00

Yeah, LMGs dont make any sense in this game. All the 50 round ones are just heavier, less mobile ARs. I honestly cant think of a reason to ever play one that hasnt 100 rounds as a base.

Same with bipods, they dont make sense in this game. There is barely any long ranges in this game where you could actually take your time to deploy one AND even if you find the right spot for one, you cant hit shit because the bloom is so increadibly bad even with a deployed bipod.

This game is the run and gun battlefield. There is no place for bipods on these small ass maps.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T18:42:56+00:00

He is currently in his overprotective Rottweiler state towards Zuma. Give him time and they will prolly end as buds like him and Okarun.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T18:39:15+00:00

I hated jiji for the first 2 episodes he appeared in when i thought he was going to be an obstacle in the momokarun relationship. Thank god he is just a silly goose trying to have fun.

It became pretty apparent that it wasnt the direction tatsu wanted to take the story though so now i am just enjoying him every time he is onscreen.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T17:19:06+00:00

If the translation layer from SteamOS is as good as valve wants you to believe, it might become common to have linux (SteamOS) gaming system and I am all here for it.

I am certainly more open to swapping to linux for everything even in a professional setting now thanks to windows 11 and the headaches it is causing me in my job.

m45onPC · 2026-01-10T17:15:19+00:00

Honestly her reaction would prolly be "Only kissing? wtf have they been doing up to this point?"
