Where am I going? well where I went is HC. HC, or Tier 1 as it was, is always my go to when playing solo. Having played so much core in a party, I had forgotten how campy HC can be; the first game was TDM on Dome and we only won before the timer as I was running round and got 32 kills as everyone else was too busy sitting on their thumbs in corners. Still it's great playing some HC and getting used to the super quick TTK again. Not to mention being able to more easily level up the rubbish guns.

At least we're in the Premier League 😉

I voted for 6v6 and it's where I went I did half a game in an underway dome game and left and then started a game of dom on embassy and left after a few minutes when I realised that being forced to play in quickplay and being offered the museum map and some other gamemode that somehow ended up on my filter isn't for me. I realise that to actually enjoy playing solo without alcohol I like shipment style energetic action and using an FPS game for actually shooting others so for me I'll be going to something else now season 2 is not for me. You guys enjoy.👍

@J4MES OX4D, surely Rodney out of Only Fools and Horses has got to be happy about some things in life surely?! 🤣🤣 Biron is a Leeds fan so there is no hope for him already 😅🤣

Well, went to HC. Obviously connection and hit detection matters more and I got quite a few hitmarkers and died. Killed even when I ran behind concrete cover. But might even get platinum smgs now, got 5 or 6 longshots in one game om Raceway. New map felt a bit too big. And with HC ,the hardcore camping follows. Several games where the timer ended the game.

First ViDoc since they started these I wasn't blown away by which I suppose is understandable as there isn't much new things in it we already know about. I've been saying for a while that the new Guardian Ranks is a key bit i'm interested in as it needs to help the new player experience, otherwise this DLC might only last 3-4 weeks for a large population of the D2 crowd. I personally haven't played in a few months and i'm happy i'm on that break. I think based on previous experiences, the DLC will be worth the money from a campaign (as its in the same format as Witch Queen's) and raid perspective for me and the break is good to get me excited for it - I just hope that it is in a good state for new and returning players because I have to admit when I dipped back in before Christmas even I was abit overwhelmed with how I needed to understand where everything was in the game.

First update to DayZ in 2023 is a stability update with not massively new bits but tons of bug fixes the DayZ team have said. A small promotional video and some words to touch on what they'll be focused on for 2023 below: Greetings, Survivors! We’re releasing our first update of 2023 today! Say hello to update 1.20! We’ve already started gearing up for a full year of DayZ support, and felt it would be wise to spend a bit of time tackling various issues and addressing all the feedback we received during our very busy developmental phase last year. You might find update 1.20 lacking in the content department, but it certainly makes up for that with a wide variety of fixes and changes. There are far too many to mention them all here, but some of our favorites include more vehicle fixes, a resolved ADS bug, connectivity indicators, and improvements to the third-person camera. If you’d like to learn more about everything update 1.20 brings to the table, head on over to our official forums and check out the change notes (PC, Consoles). While we’re very happy to kick off the year with update 1.20, we’d also like to discuss what’s in store for the rest of 2023. As we teased in a recent live stream, this year is going to be a little bit different. One thing we’d like to clarify is that we will definitely be supporting the game throughout 2023. The content of future updates, however, will be a lot more dynamic in nature, and won’t always deliver the usual template of “gun, feature, bug fix”. The reason for this is because we plan on expanding our focus regarding the possibilities of the DayZ game, brand, and team itself. We can’t offer too many details at the moment, but the following are a few of the areas we’ve begun to look into as possible additions to future updates. Character cosmetics will play a huge role in every update this year. We’d like to grow what is already a massive collection by increasing the variety of loot to be found and offering even more amazing clothes to wear. Don’t expect us to follow other popular games with an abundant amount of pink skins. Think backpacks and survival themes and outfits that exemplify the DayZ brand. Another element we intend to update later this year is the iconic northwest airfield (NWAF) on Chernarus. Our primary focus will be to simplify the airfield’s layout and make the runway and taxiways more authentic. Obviously a change to this location is a substantial project and will require synchronization with a total server wipe. We also plan on focusing more on infected AI this year. We’d like to change the way they move through the environment, as well as how you battle them. There are a number of factors regarding this subject that require further investigation, so we can’t share much more info with you at present. But suffice it to say that the changes we’re considering have great potential to change the PvE aspect of the game for the better. Following last year’s addition of Steam achievements in update 1.18, we’ve spent some time thinking about how we can expand the selection of available trophies/achievements. We’ve got a few ideas up our sleeves and will be offering additional challenges later this year for all you completists out there. This year will be less about firearms as we feel there is generally a good variety present and we would rather invest our resources into other features. We would also like to give more attention to some quality of life changes, similar to what we did in the 1.20 update. Furthermore, we will continue the trend of offering more tools to server owners, with our primary focus oriented towards console communities and the ability to manage their server. That’s pretty much it for now. We’re really looking forward to another year of great adventures and hope you’ll continue to enjoy them with us! On behalf of the DayZ team, Adam What do you reckon to the news?

I think you’re playing the game wrong if you’re not actually shooting people in normal 6v6 gamemodes 😂

Didn't get on after football last night as I forgot to download the patch before I went out. May do it late tonight, as I think Gran Turismo won't happen tonight due to numbers.

I have to agree with you, when you have the headset on it gives you that immersion into the game as it blocks off a lot of the outside sound, so they would need to offer this too

I had this Logitech official Xbox 360 one and it was absolutely awesome! Just had to chuck my old one away after sorting through my gaming stuff and seeing that the foam cover had disintegrated 😅 I really like the way they look @Antpool84, thanks for sharing! Does anyone worry that you would lose some surround sound with them though? I feel thats where headphones give that overall 360 degrees sound, which is so important in many games and would want some confidence these did at least the same sound output before thinking about purchasing.

If the MP team keep this pace up, we should get at least 3 new maps for the rest of the year! This is groundbreaking considering they only have 450 employees at their disposal😎

So we're getting an ACTUAL NEW MAP? Thanks Activision for providing us with the bare minimum content for the "most supported game in COD history" (or whatever bollocks they said this game would be) 🙄

The next ViDoc has dropped for Destiny today, take a look below and let us know what you think.

My only gripe right now, is for some reason, your normal gun does a 3-shot burst instead of the single shot from the original game. While it can help short term, it sucks when you get the charge beam and have to wait those 3 shots to begin charging. I hope Nintendo/Retro release a patch to fix that.

Smaller, more regular updates I do think is the worthwhile. If we do play it here at FG, we'll have to be mindful a full wipe is needed when the Northwest Airfield is redone. I did expect more personally, especially since it feels like Character Cosmetics is a strong thing they want to push which doesn't excite me at all tbh. I think if they could create some form of World War Z horde feeling at some point with the AI, it could be very interested. Happy to jump in and see if it feels any different soon if others are feeling it? And sorry @phil bottle, no bicycles still 😅😔

Reinforcements are crazy in this update, I cleared a stronghold for a mission yesterday, I intentionally picked a smaller one at the north of the quarry that I’m familiar with. It has a couple of riot shields and you can take many of them out through windows, but after it was cleared I was standing in the stronghold deciding my next move and just got swarmed by almost constant waves of tier 3 AI being dropped off from choppers, I had to make a dash out through a door on the opposite side of the stronghold in the end. changes to insured slots cooldowns are now 1,2 and 3 hours, the second slot unlocks at Tier 1 story mission of Black Mous, meaning you need to do Tier 2 on Legion and White Lotus then Tier 1 Black Mous, and third slot is available at any Tier 5 Story like before OR Tier 3 Story of Crown which is only for MW2 owners and unlocks at Tier 1 Story from Legion

So Sony are developing eaebuds for the PS5. I think this would be pretty cool, rather than having the headset, but for some of us it might be easy to lose them when throwing headsets in frustration 😂😂😂 Sony Is Developing PS5 Wireless Earbuds - Report - GameSpot WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Project Nomad's wireless earbud design reportedly won't stray far from the design popularized by...

I'm happy. Its a new map, better than no map and not a returning one.

You can now extract stronghold keycards from the DMZ to use in another deployment. I’ve also noticed that one of the new crown missions has a reward of the sattiq poppy farmer house I’m worried as I have PTSD from that mission in season 1 Ive also see new radiation zones in Al Mazrah at Rohan Oil and Saweh Village, I’ll bet the Saweh one is tough. I like how the missions are following the story from the season one missions and are very clearly set in the future from season 1

Build them for range and stability. Look to mount on something. It helps. Some I did in T1 as the TTK was too slow in core at range. Some you can put in single fire and that helps too

6v6 is my choice, won't be on during the initial launch probably a few days later.

These will probably cost £350 knowing Sony!

I'm loving this game. LOVE IT. It'll probably take me ages to finish it as I end up just slowly trying to find every little secret or puzzle every time I move just 5 yards. The world visibly is just wonderful and the game mechanics are complex but not hard to get an understanding of. There is real depth to the game it feels and i've only just got out of Hogwarts for the first time and hit Hogsmeade. Its even better because it doesn't connect to the Harry Potter story in any way, so everything feels kind of new again in a world many of us are supposed to know. Subtle things like the Hippogriffs just flying out of the Forbidden Forest and cruising around is enough throwback to see and just look at them. Even Tom @LordBaguette said to make sure you look back at Hogwarts when you leave for the first time as its stunning and he wasn't wrong. Is it wrong of me to say potential Game of the Year already??

This is all i think of when i see these 😂😂😂

I like them but unfortunately for me I have dodgy ears so had to stop using ear buds. Not sure if anyone remembers but back on the ps3 I used to have one of these bad boys - Like I don't mind headsets and such but when it's just gaming with people online I am quite happy with something just for game chat and then the game audio to still come out the tv or something ^_^

That would be awesome!

I use Sony earbuds and they're fantastic. Would be cool if they could fit them into the controller 🎮 for storage or something futuristic like that.

Ah ok I see what you mean now. Hardcore is like dead in 1 shot from what I remember

Build for range, and Tier1 is like hardcore. Less health. And no hub.

It's one of my last categories along with Snipers. It won't be hard just annoying, build the SMG's like AR's and go to Tier 1. @TigerBurge Is the only person I know who has done the Platinum SMG's

Unfortunately they released it in a sorry state and they'll need to do a hotfix to sort whatever is broken. I updated the FG server went it went live and I'll be watching out for the update to fix the broken features.

Just been playing, got a 69metre kill, came up onscreen long shot but it’s not counting to my platinum for some reason
