Hovercrafts can travel sideways up buildings

Apparently along with no live scoreboard, there is also no combat record or stat tracking. Apart from your player level, there is nothing in place which shows your lifetime kills, weapon and match stats. Doesn't seem to be an API for 3rd party sites that can track this outside of the game either. This could be one of the most staggeringly threadbare experiences in existence.

So the fact I'd heard portal wouldn't give xp was nonsense then, it was obvious that if you can generate your own games that xp farming would be a thing.

If there is no dedicated server support then that will be a travesty however with such little content in the main portion and scope for customisation, it would probably be a waste of time anyway. The server browser in BF4 was epic with on high-ticket Metro or Locker matches. There likely just isn't enough flexibility to offer with 2 modes, 20 weapons and just 7 maps in 2042. There are too many Portal servers as it is already and 99% of them are just for XP boosting against bots rather than creative content. It's causing the main server to crash even with a limited population. If this doesn't get plugged by release, it'll be embarrassing. The fact it's allowed either by intent or as an oversight already leaves a giant stain on the game.

I can see this game being 50% off in two weeks. No matter how disappointing or broken Battlefield turns out and with Halo Infinite MP releasing for free next month, things really aren't boding well for COD even in the short term. If WW2 Warzone doesn't resonate with people then it will be a disaster and put the franchise in a very difficult place until the new Modern Warfare arrives. This is what happens when developers have 15 months to make a game with limited resources. Treyarch once again half-assing the zombies making it look even worse. The fact Cold War is so loathed and now with Verdansk soon to be out of the window, people don't have much to fall back on either. This game probably shouldn't have happened and it could prove more costly to the franchise than what it would have if they'd simply skipped a year.

Lookin' good. I need a new game, this might be it.

Nice work @Middle Class Caveman , I've actually been doing something similar on eToro, dabbling in a little bit of stocks and crypto but mostly into index funds such as S&P500. Similar to you, I started with £250 in September and then added £100 monthly. So I've invested £450 so far, and its now worth £461, so nearly a 3% increase in just 2 months. Like you say, much better than the rates you get at banks etc.

I fucking love white chocolate, although I maybe have it twice a year. Apart from that I’ll only eat dark chocolate as I’m not a fan of milk…yeah explain that 😄

It's interesting to read others views on finances, I've been known to splash the cash on a whim( especially during Fg Fridays😉) However I had a good decade where I literally lived hand to mouth when the kids were young, the ex never worked either, such a great help, so when I started earning decent money I just blew it on whatever, didn't care about my debts and for a long time lived in an overdraft, the thing is I couldn't get loans but still wanted the bikes and the trips. That changed a few years back and I decided I'd at least get out of the overdraft, and once I'd done that the lifestyle though still not frugal had meant that I could continue to save and now after the savings due to covid sees me in my best financial position which means I can turn down overtime and if work drys up I can survive for a while. Now I want to look towards early retirement, not sure how feasible that will be post covid.

My biggest worries is the music licences - the radio stations are some of the most iconic and memorable aspects of these games and if songs are removed then it will kill off a lot of the spirit of these games. I'm also a bit iffy about the cartoony characters in Vice City although they do look good in San Andreas. A lot of fake footage going around - it's mostly existing mods which Rockstar shut down. Shame because some of the work that has gone into these have been absolutely extraordinary and will still likely upstage the Definitive Editions.
