Some good changes coming! I can see them making a few more weapons Miramar exclusive as they introduce more changes to the map. It'll get people playing it more...

Was hoping for a new map this side of christmas but doesn't look likely

I'm not too concerned about getting another map, it would likely fragment the player base too much anyway. What would be cool however, is to update Vikendi during Nov/Dec to a Christmas winter map in the same way that COD4 did with "Crash". That would be amazing. It would also show that they are keeping up with the likes of Fortnite in trying to remain relevant and a key player, gets people talking and playing it more.

Ah now those jingle bells on crash brings back memories! That'd be superb on Vikendi. Might get me actually playing it.

Solo queuing on Vikendi is already a joke.

Can't see spike traps mentioned.

there are no more cheaters now than there ever was. its pretty consistant that around 15,000 people per day are banned or about 100,000 a week. they are mostly the same people. they vpn on to EU and other servers.

With less numbers playing, and same numbers cheating, surely that means more cheater to not cheating player ratio?

~>Dg<~ · 16 Oct 2019 at 18:25

100,000 are banned every week since launch. no need to go full carol vorderman on it.

"You can now use all melee weapons as a throwable tool to attack your enemies"

Oh god I hate when they introduce cheesy gimmicks like this. What's next, Chinese throwing stars and ninja suits?

~>Dg<~ · 16 Oct 2019 at 23:27

well im sure it wont matter to your opinion. you hate everything anyway

Ya but common this doesn't seem a little desperate to you? If they put sliding or grappling hooks in the game next, I'm out!

i think it will make miramar fun. also as with anything it will be to see if it works. thats why they done this on one map only. upto yet. miramar used to be my fav map in the game spent probably 1500 hrs just playing that map. so it will be interesting to see how the flow is now. is was a long winded experience. a long game on miramar can leave you drained. thats why many just play maps like sanhok.

Blimey.

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

SixTwoSix · 17 Oct 2019 at 11:56

Shame Miramar isn't a remaster and just some added jumps and stunt bits with some terrain and in town debris clearup. I was hoping it would get the Erangel treatment.

Keep playing you'll get better.
