Damn, that was quick.
Hopefully a bunch more people will pick it up on the cheap and keep the player pop up. |

I thought the decline in player base came after the DLC's we released. That's plausible. I really hope that the new "all the maps are free" DLC policy of TF2 prevents what happened to TF1 (and, to a lesser extent, what happens to all Call of Duty games), where every new DLC pack creates a new set of modes, a new set of segregated hoppers, a new way of making it more difficult to find a lobby to play with. I am genuinely irritated by this "playlist"/"hopper" model of segregating players. It's such a shitty way of playing what you want to play, and it has worked so, so, SO poorly in the past. There has got to be a better way that balances the need of the company to keep making money in exchange for supporting their game and the need of the players to be able to find a lobby quickly and efficiently. |

Top-gear top-tip: if you're playing on a harder difficulty, and you're getting sick of a particularly static fight... just pop your cloak and wallrun past all these jackass goons. It's... surprisingly satisfying -- these NPC jerkoffs all lined spawned in this special spot and lined up all their appropriately-ranged weapons, and they got their expository radio messages queued up-- and WHAM some parkour-running jackass in half a jetpack goes skittering by along the wall like a cricket on speed going "WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP" |

Titan: Tone Nuke eject basic everything else because i'm a noob Origin ID: PancakeOfDoom if anybody wants to squad up I don't want to keep backpedaling on my point, but ya there are some great FPS games with 8+ hour campaigns, I'm just saying they're the minority and for heavily MP focused games like BF1 and TF2 to have decent campaigns is a good selling point. Sure, they're not doom, but nobody plays Doom's MP because it's trash IMHO. BF1 and TF2 have great MP and the SP is a nice bonus, but I'd agree that they're not worth buying just for the SP. |

As for Borderlands and Destiny, they're both FPS games with RPG elements.

It is the first game in the Borderlands series." Link "Destiny is an online-only first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Activision." Link I bought the new Doom a few months back and have yet to play it past the first level. I need to finish it one of these days. Have not played the new Wolfenstein. EDIT: Have a good Thanksgiving!

Yeah, I figured out now that some game types are just going to be dependent on time of day more than others. I was really trying to play amped hard point and finally got into some rounds of that this afternoon. I like that one a lot, but it takes a while between matches to find enough players. It doesn't seem like there are many people playing this game in general, at least not what I was expecting. It's a great game so hopefully more people start playing.

By default the game picks the data center with the lowest ping to you, and as far as I know you only match with people in your data center. If the matchmaking screen for your datacenter is showing only a few dozen people playing the type you want, try backing out to the main menu and picking another datacenter at the bottom right -- if you're on the east coast and it's super late, try grabbing a central or west coast one - it'll only tack on a couple dozen ms to your ping, and you might find a higher player pop there. |

I was immediately drawn to Ronin because in the original game I always liked using the Stryder titan to dash in and melee, so he works well for my play style. The long range titan sniping with Northstar is fun too, but I think her core attack kind of sucks.
Also, awesome pic, dmjerry. And admit it, you tried wall running with it on

I like Ronin because Leadwall will handle a pod full of Spectres' business in a hurry (and because bouncing shots around a corner into a bounty hunt bank is just a fucked up thing to do to people), but I have a hard time telling when I'm actually in melee range.
Does the melee do more damage than an up-close leadwall shot? ETA: patch dropped yesterday on PC. Patch notes here Some key stuff: New Titan Kits: RONIN: Phase Reflex When doomed, Ronin phases out of danger. NORTHSTAR: Threat Optics Enemies are highlighted while zooming in. SCORCH: Scorched Earth Flame Core ignites the ground, leaving thermite in its wake. LEGION: Hidden Compartment Power Shot has two charges TONE: Burst Loader Aiming allows the 40mm to store up to 3 shots to burst fire. ION: Refraction Lens Splitter Rifle splits 5 ways. New Weapon "Wingman Elite" pistol A modified version of the classic Wingman pistol. New Pilot Execution "Inner Pieces" Phase Shift into an enemy and… it doesn’t go well for them. |

I'm no longer liking this game. Every time I try to play multiplayer, it's pretty much unplayable now. Other players constantly freezing and stuttering on screen, almost in every single match. And I noticed that while in those matches, other people say they're having the same problem. I even got accused of cheating a couple times because other players thought my stuttering around was some kind of hack. I've tried several things including different servers, but not much difference. What I find is that getting on a server in a time zone with few people online seems to improve it. Really seems like a network or server problem. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
