No, the strategy is simply to put out games in front of as many people as possible so they can buy them where they chose to. Origin, Steam, Epic and elsewhere.
Hopefully it maintains it, but happy now people are going to get to try the SP story
If you have time (and the inclination), I'd love it for you to elaborate on your thoughts. What design issues do you think hold back the mulitplayer?
i can get steam rewards during the summer sale (which is why i am waiting).
Id like to know too.
Yeah, it boils down to the mobility being too high. This creates a cascade of issues, the worst of which is positioning being less predictable--basically when someone disappears around a corner, the multitude of mobility options means that you cannot reasonably anticipate their actions if they are sufficiently skilled. Respawn knows this, which is why each successive game they build cuts down more and more on the mobility options--basically to curate the decision tree and make it more manageable.
That makes sense. You won't really enjoy a game where you can't predict the position of the opponent. I wonder if there's a way to allow high mobility and yet keep predictability in the game. Maybe make each player leave long trail of glowing particles? Good players will still be able to kite opponents, but opponents will also have the opportunity to chase a player successfully.
Game was at 1k players and got a 10x bump. Idk what you're on, the game was dying and now I don't have to wait in long que times to play with the same players and can actually get other modes too
I second this. If someone disappears around a corner they could be literally anywhere on the map! Especially those Batman rejects with their stupid grappling hook!!
It's like you live in your own bubble.
Yeah more or less my thoughts, Joe Callo'Duty ain't gonna stick around for a game where the skill ceiling is "players don't touch the ground and headshot you while moving 200mph".
