2.5 million players in 24 hours. Servers smooth. Polished games. Quite successful then....

So many weapons. Anyone got favourites?

I'm still shocked at it. The fact it looks and feels like a triple A $60 - $80 game that is free to play.

There was 3xx,xxx viewers on twitch last night. Then it settled down to 1xx,xxx viewers late into the night.

One of the reasons this seems very good is because it came out of nowhere whereas usually we have so much hype beforehand that a game can never live up to it.

"We're doing a free to play game, with essentially loot boxes, after we were bought by EA, and it's not Titanfall 3. It's the perfect recipe for a marketing plan to go awry, so why have that - let's just ship the game and let players play."

From Drew McCoy who is the lead producer.

As soon as the leaks came out over the weekend, people were crapping on it (myself included) - imagine that for 6 months. But as soon as I played it, it became clear this was a good fun game.

Fatal1ty is kicking ass with it. He won a game fist fighting to claim the victory. Funny stuff.
 
A fully decked out Wingman with the headshot modifier is a thing of beauty, has to be my favourite weapon so far, although i'm still pretty rubbish with it, saw Stodeh using it and he was doing some work with it.
 
What's the learning curve like with this?

I very nearly gave it a go last night (having never played a BR game) but once I heard about the different player classes and weapons I changed my mind and fired up AC instead.

I have a feeling it might be too much for my reptilian brain.
 
Had one game so far, squad leader droped us into hot zone, couldn't find a weapon and our whole squad was killed withing 3 mins lol movement seemed nice enough to me though and will give it some more time :)

Tbh Stodeh could have a brick and be getting headshots halfway across any map he plays, he is disgusting.

There's very little learning curve to compete currently. Put it this way, I'd class my aim as fairly average and my gameplay with things like this as not that much beyond average and I won my first game and got a top 3 and 6 within 6 games I think it was with quite a few kills. I did watch shroud play for about 15 minutes, which helped, but that's it. As with similar games, communication helps massively between team mates.

The healing does need some balancing, but it's good overall that it's on the slightly slower side. Biggest gripe so far is the lack of ammo at times. The amount per item slot wants buffing slightly. The difference between shield types is also too much currently.

That's interesting, thanks.

It's not my aim I'm worried about really (played a lot of FPS games over the years), it's "special moves" and all that kind of thing.
 
Have to say, from someone who has played PUBG and Blackout i'm loving this game. Feels very fluent, not many bugs, great vary of Legends to pick from and overall fantastic game.

I'd advise anyone to give the game a shot!
