Not a fan of battle royale games but the character design, details and look of the game is very impressive. I may give it a shot.
Also, does anyone else get any Evolve vibes while playing?
The look of some of the environments, the slowly climbing up walls, and some other stuff just remind me so much of my time with Evolve.
I'm digging it a lot.

Not sure how well it works but there appears to be an option in the settings to convert incoming voice into chat text.
Yeah, he can tell us the story of Titanfall 3!
I kid, kinda
Looking forward to sinking my teeth in once I have friends ready to play. May end up playing with random due to how good the ping system is though. Will also consider the discord at some point, think I'll play mostly on PS4 but I went ahead and installed it on PC anyway as well.
The game needs to do something to curb the disconnects. Perhaps making the tutorial mandatory would help, or punishing players who disconnect from matches before their chance to be revived expires by giving them no XP for the game.
Was watching streams once everyone started playing it and didn't think it would look so good. Can't wait to try it after work later though I'm wondering how the consoles play it? I assume it's 60fps like Titanfall. Doesn't look like the most intensive game out there.
The one big downside of the game is that it seems to suffer from a lack of a distinct visual and style identity. It takes heavy clues from Titanfall obviously, but then there's the Overwatch-esque presentation and cosmetic unlocks (there's even the same kind of lootboxes), it borrow plenty from Blackout in terms of presentation and gameplay, the rare cosmetic unlocks from Fortnite, but also the class system from For Honor and Siege. The characters look like more generic versions of Borderlands characters, and I yet have to find a particularly unique or recognizable weapon, too. However, this is a minor gripe because the game feels excellent. Future classes can be more unique, the visual style can be slowly revamped, we could be getting more unique weapons, etc. etc.. For a launch of a f2p BR game, this game is in a very good state.
played it for a good bit today and ended with 5 wins and a good amount 2nd place endings. Its a lot of fun and has what Blackout is missing. Very excited to go back for more and see what they have in the future in terms of content.
Had a group of 3 for awhile tonight, but one of them called it a little early. Ended up having really great solo teammates for 7-8 matches in a row. All with Microphoens, all actually playing the game instead of friendly fire/mic screeching etc. even won 2 in a row. Both my friend and I were talking about how surprised we were that after every game regardless of outcome the solo player would say good game, good luck, etc.
Was a such a stark contrast to what I'm used to.
I said it in the other thread, this game is just pure fun. Haven't had this much fun in BR game since PuBG hit the scene. I love the class abilities, they really add that little difference that I needed to latch onto a new BR game. Match that with Respawns shooting mechanics? In for the long haul.
After 2 hours of Apex i literally uninstall PUBG, Fortnite and blops. I have about 3000 hours between all those combined and i can never go back.
It's so smooth, fast paced, abilities are incredibly balanced and i can't get enough. I actually played most on xbox and i don't care care for FPS games on consoles. It's like crack.
This game is fun. Probably my favourite BR Shooter out there so far. The gunplay is fantastic, as expected, but the QoL features really add to the genre, pinging is fantastic, dropping together, reviving allies. It's all really good. The character classes are fun, but I'm not sure if they bring much to the game, tbh. I cannot overstate that the gamefeel for the weapons is fantastic, tho. Actual good feeling weapons immediately puts it over PUBG and Fortnite. It feels like a polished game, not one still in early access.
But I can still feel the game is incomplete... The way you can mantle up walls feels super good but only exemplifies that the game engine was made with wall running in mind. Movement feels like its missing something. The MTX might seem a bit overbearing, but there's... actually nothing to work towards to? I guess the two locked characters, but beyond that... I guess that's what the roadmap is for.
And I will forever be sad that Titanfall 3 died for this. Oh well.

Really liking the game so far, it's like an actually fun and unique version of blackout.
Everything just clicks, its seriously polished for something that came seemingly came out of nowhere.
I will say i hate the 3 man squad shit.
My party these days is usually 4-6 people and this just makes it even harder for us to be in a party together.

This game is the real deal. It's something special. I seriously can't wait to play some more with my friends tomorrow! Got three wins tonignt and they were all exciting!
I fellt the same way.
But if we are all winning...
Who is loosing?!!1
Also, nothing is as satisfying as being Wraith at the beginning of a game with a Pump Shotgun. I visibly sneak behind teams and unload, so satisfying. Wraith for life
Huge roster also brings issues with balance, but yeah I hope same
Got to level 5 now, I'm thinking this shit is pretty good. The shotguns in particular feel very satisfying to use. Nice booming sounds on all the weapons. Bloodhound's ability seems very, very strong, but the other heroes have some pretty good stuff as well. Playing with randoms so far, usually get taken down by a group of three folks who are working together much better than my team. Still, good fun even when losing. Will have to play more.
I didn't realize that this game was sort of a..."hero shooter battle royale", if you will.
The other BR games don't do much for me, but now this has my interest. Since it's F2P, I'll probably give it a shot!

I really suck at this (never played BR game before) but I liked playing a few matches. But also had two matches where I pretty much walked around the first round without a weapon :/ also, how does armory unlocks work? You unlock something, and then?

Yeah it's quite good. I appreciate that there's a lot more space outdoors than there is indoors, but still plenty of cover to have intense gunfights between teams. I especially like the... bayou? area with the houses on stilts that you can hide underneath. Really cool.
81 players on this map would be better I think, if they can do it obviousy. A few more squads would feel just right I think. Loving it though. Managed 2 wins tonight all with randoms since my friends haven't downloaded the game yet. Curious to see what the battle pass will offer.
Finally got my first win, nice. Been putting together some good performances (placement and kill wise) and my last few games have been #1, #2, #3, #4, #6, #8, and a couple I died at the very beginning. Game is sick.
Really enjoyed the Longbow rifle or whatever that was. It was doing some work. Does this game have hitscan or projectiles?
It may be a hybrid, hitscan close projectile long range.
OP
OP
Projectiles but there are some instances where I could swear a weapon performs like its hitscan. Then I try to pull off a Kraber shot and miss a moving target by like ten feet and realize, nope, all projectile.
