Arc Raiders

Its those sort of tense, nerve jangling moments that I just dont get in other pvp genres. I never get a moment in a BF or CoD etc where I'm on edge, knowing that the next bullet could end the round for me, yet somehow, against the odds and adrenalin pumping I manage to escape.

This game has my heart literally pounding in my chest at times, it's so intense. Can literally feel myself shaking with adrenaline :D
 
I'm only level 8 but really enjoying this so far. I've mainly played solo's so far and most people have been friendly.

I had a funny moment yesterday afternoon; I went into one of the towers on the Dam map (I can't remember which one) and came up behind another solo player. I did the 'Don't Shoot' chat but he didn't respond but he didn't have his gun out so I assumed he was new/unsure what to do or just wanted to do his own thing so I left him to it. I walked on a bit and he was following me. We went into a room and were attacked by those Arc's that roll around a shoot fire. He decided to attack it with his axe, I started shooting it and it blew up in his face and wiped him out. Felt sorry for the guy but it made me laugh!

The drama in this game is hilarious. All the peeps screaming "don't shoot!" just makes me want to do it even more. I had 1 guy ask me not to shoot but I did anyway as was just in the mood. We exchanged a few shots over a minute or so (the gun fights are always so intense when there's plenty of cover!) and he eventually managed to sprint away into a building. I took cover around the corner and patched myself up and as I was doing so, some machines starting scoping me out so I had to stay in cover.

Next thing I know ol' matey comes running back around the corner obviously **ssed at me wanting his revenge and the machines start attacking him. I slowly come out of cover expecting to pick him off easily as he'll be damaged from the machines, right?...Well let's just say it didn't quite work out as planned and he managed to kill me before finishing off the machines too. He then comes over to knock me out so I congratulate him and say enjoy your prize, I got some nice loot, etc....and he proceeds to start lecturing me on how not to shoot people when they say "don't shoot!". I get people want to play the game like that but I just had to lol, I mean I'll play the game however I want thanks. :D
 
Every run is so different from the last one, I have no idea what to expect, it's like a new mini movie every time.

It's more like a horror movie really, I'm barely breathing during tense moments!

Haven't felt like that since The Division 1 Dark Zone, so many epic moments, so many stories already.

Came across two players who had teamed up while playing solo mode, they had the usual "don't shoot" etc. A little later, I noticed some Arcs hovering nearby to where they were, so I fired at them. That stirred things up & the Arcs turned on the duo. I just carried on, chuckling to myself as the chaos unfolded behind me! :D

As Alfred said in Batman Begins - "Some men just want to watch the world burn." :D

You've been unlucky. Usually if you play solo you get put into a match against other solo players and not duos / trios. Solo players who shoot to kill often don't attempt any comms.

I played today with trios and a guy in my team used the 'dont shoot' and quite a few teams didnt engage so the ratio has greatly improved!

Throwing snitch guts (driver) into the mix is another hilarious jape as it calls down wasps and hornets. It's always great to hear a mass of gun burst behind you, especially if there's a leaper mincing around
 
So when I was playing last night I was being so benevolent and not shooting people when they said they were friendly, I then went to the extraction zone and someone ganked me.

I told the guy this was like my 1st day playing and everyone's so nice in this and his exact words were "Oh you've convinced me", he then proceeded to pick me up and we went to extract together.

I then killed him and took his stuff. He was swearing at me lots.

Meanwhile the best extraction game is Escape from Duckov :D 204K on a Sunday morning while AR has 148K :)
AR has a higher peak however.

And 10 hours later, there is 85K players playing Escape from Duckov, while there it is 326K players in ARC Raiders. It comes and goes as most games, all depending on in which part the games are most popular. :p
