Just played a couple of games on single player, bit of a learning curve but overall reallt good. Would probably make quite a good coop experience, fumbling through the battlefields.

Multiplayer is tough going at first. You'll probably have several hours of getting destroyed before you start getting a respectable K/D ratio.

A gunstock will massively help. If you don't have one, try turning on 'virtual gunstock' instead in the game settings.

I might look into a virtual gunstock. I've heard multiplayer can be a bit toxic and full of children?

I've got contractors both on PC and Quest. Quest version is quite impressive. I've been playing single player, but I think Co-op would be pretty fun. VS I would mute everyone but friends. Not a fan of toxic talk from other players!

So whilst I absolutely plan on being around tonight, I may not be in full control of our movements. Hopefully back in time to play, or at least join in and catch up.

Well, thanks for the report back. I tried a couple of these games before, War dust and Zero Calibre. I thought War Dust was ok, but, didn't like Zero Calibre at all. Guess I will get it and give it a go since it gets the thumbs up from both yourself and Ravenger.

It's usually fine tbh. If there's anyone annoying you can just mute them.

So your having the headset and your wife is having the touch controllers ?

This is going to be interesting

Unseul · 1 Aug 2022 at 14:12

hadn't thought of how it read!

Turns out we don't have plans tonight so I'm good to play. Until there are plans....

ShiWarrior · 1 Aug 2022 at 16:09

You wrote it fine, I just twisted it a bit lol

ShiWarrior · 1 Aug 2022 at 19:45

i will see you all in the labyrinth somewhere, i will be lost, so ill see you at the end if we ever find the exit ?

ill be online in a mo

melmac · 1 Aug 2022 at 21:51

Labyrinth, really well done map. So well done with all the animations etc. Looks awesome.

I will wait and see what the hard version is like, but, while I love the look, I think El Dorado is a better Mini Golf course.

Still, very enjoyable either way

Had fun again tonight guys. Thanks!!

JoeBoi · 1 Aug 2022 at 21:53

Well played guys, some impressive shots and overall a really good game. Dreading the hard map after seeing some of those crazy holes.

ShiWarrior · 1 Aug 2022 at 21:56

Thanks all for joining me in my Labyrinth, we finally found the way out of it, and what a good ending, i liked that , well Done Rav for getting it 1st !

im looking forward to the hard version (in a good way)
should be more fun times ahead

see you all next week for more fun and games

JoeBoi · 1 Aug 2022 at 22:47

Up for some contractors this week if anyone fancies a game?

Unseul · 1 Aug 2022 at 23:13

I'm dreading the hard version of quite a few of those maps. Look like stroke limit ones more often than not.

ShiWarrior · 2 Aug 2022 at 09:03

I agree, I already stroked out on 2 holes on easy!

I might have done but I've just torn a tendon in my middle finger. No VR for me for 8 weeks.
