Devastated by this, Rob was one of the first people I started to game with around 15 years ago on mw2forum. The amount of cod we used to play was ridiculous. He was part of the group that got a lot of us into talking together on a gaming forum and not just playing games.
 
You’ll be missed mate 
 
RIP ❤️

I'll pull the videos down and stick them up on youtube

Great idea Phil! When I get a pc and my Elgato back from Dave, then i’ll join in the streaming. 

I’d just like to say this is the greatest thread ever, thank you @LordBaguette

Nice one as always @GazzaGarratt

This actually stopped me from getting into OW2, I hadn't played OW1 so am completely new to the franchise, I love the Characters, the Game modes, the classes, but I just found solo matches to be such a mixed bag. I found that when playing solo I never really had any good supports making tank and dps really difficult to play so spent most of my time playing support. I had some great games where the tank and dps players took care didn't stray too far and protected me, but for this most part I found that the other players just left you on your own ran off on their own and died quite quickly. Which became quite frustrating. 

The 5th year of the FG Awards!!
After a year of reconnecting with the real world for all of us, this year has flown by so quickly, but we couldn't end it without having our star awards to round off the year on a high. It was a privileged year too, as we were able to present many of our FG Awards in person at our biggest ever face to face meet up. I really hope you enjoy reading the below piece. A unique place deserves unique rewards to give us all the best memories to hold on to. So let's get into them!

Young FGer of the Year
A person that has had an extremely busy year for himself, studying for A-levels and the hope of getting into one of the most prestigious Universities in the land. However, even alongside this really important life task, he made himself available to help FGers complete raids in Destiny 2, and any support needed to get a Dungeon done he would be there. Not only this but he's now branched out to Dark Souls games, sharing his feedback with all of FG, including creating his very own PPR.
 
Winner - @Venom  - Charlie

FG Noobie of the Year
Since joining in May, he has been an ever present all over FG; contributing in different in multiple topics, sharing new information, posting videos, reviewing new games for us to look at, giving us great joy (and banter) on FIFA nights and equally getting involved throughout the week on other FG gaming nights too. I delight to have around and a real FGer with same core values we all hold to help each other where possible.
 
Winner - @Luseth  - Matt

Guardian Down Award
We had some funny moments this year from people that carried on trying regardless of their epic fails. There are two winners this year as there was no separating them through the amount of  trial and tribulations they've had on Destiny. So much so, this Grandmaster clip epitomises how and why they couldn't be separated. 7th run in, after not getting very far at all, we reach the first turn in the map before the first checkpoint. I get blasted into space and thinking Nick and Kempy would be the saviours, only they could manage to kill themselves in glorious fashion.
 
Winners - @Bluebear  & @Kemp210  - Nick & Kempy
 
 

Archbishop of Banterbury
This guy has had one hell of a ride this year so no wonder we find him most nights randomly in a party with us all and when you least expect it, blasting out the most random expletive you can think of, which usually sends everyone into a laughing frenzy. He's always getting on most week's, especially FG Fridays bringing the jokes of his weekly escapades along with him. For all the hard points in his life over the past 12 months, Bones is a fine example of cracking on and trying to have as much in life as you can.
 
Winner - @slamminbones  - Paul

FG Skills Award
You look good, you feel good. You feel good, you play good. FG's Mr Smooth Operator has been banging out the park across multiple games this year. Whether its ridiculous fancy flicks on FIFA, his slick sniper shots on Warzone, or even Ko'ing 2 gangsters at the same time on GTA. The guy has it all. Not to mention his joke delivery is usually bang on the money. Top props for an absolute top guy. Glad we have him at FG.
 
Winner - @jordie1892  - Jordie
 
 
FG Play of the Game
Keeping the award going from last year's debut at FG, there have been many FG clips that have been simply superb. Kenny's efforts to annihilate everyone in CoD, Leeesh's finishing skills on Elden Ring bosses, yet here we are talking about another top evening of goals from our resident Left Centre Mid for FG, Macca. The clip below is not only one clip but it was an array of some incredibly skillful goals from just one evening with FG. Hopefully the likes of the people above can push more people here to share their clips for everyone else at FG to see.
 
Winner - @Macca89  - Macca
 
 
FG Top Contributor
Tough one to call this year, with J4mes Oxford still delivering tons of info for us, Kenny chipping in with some great variety across FG but someone that just shades it this year is our favourite Canadian, an incredible person that can also double up as batman online when we want him too, and has also started a podcast with Sarah that we're all very proud of to say he is an FGer. Some great reviews and some great info about some games most of us never knew existed. 
 
Winner - @Riff Machine  - Chad
 
FGer of the Year 
Who says you can't win awards more than once? A real toughie as many of you have been fantastic for FG this year. This person has kept many a game night going, and when you need that one extra person, you know he'll be there. He keeps me going, and many other factors in FG tick, including multiple server games and offering his incredible support through his extra talents with art, maths and videos. All in his own spare time. Epitomises what FG is all about and I'm sure he will keep on helping people forever more. Thanks for everything this year, Greebs.
 
Winner - @Greboth - Chris

Hall of Fame
Two amazing people that have been here since the dark ages. They've always been a dynamic duo that's kept plugging away with some of our most senior crew on Destiny and CoD, laughing away and giving things a go even when it may not end up in their favour. And it was great that we were able to meet them at our biggest meet up ever in November to give them their awards. Always available to lend an ear if you ever needed it and give you the straight talking truth even if you didn't know you needed it! Resident FGers for life, thanks for everything Mazz & Gaz.
 
Winners - @mazzer  & @wapntake  - Mazz & Gaz

We're finally done for another year! Phew! Looking back I don't think I'd ever see a year flyby as quick as this one but it certainly has and I hope it has been a great one for you all at FG.
We must keep true to ourselves and keep being around for each other. You all play a fundamental role in why FG is the one place - the best place - on the internet where people can feel loved and know they'll always have a friend here to lean on when they least expect it.

5v5 could really hurt this game, it’s ok for someone who plays competitively with a group of mates but this will really put off the casual single player people who just hop on for fun on their own. 6v6 allowed for at least a couple of deaths before your team gets washed but this one is basically one death and you might as well turn around and group up.
 
It also means less splitting up within your team, before you could basically halve your team and go different routes but you can’t with this. It will make it more competitive for those types of players but like I said above, it could hurt the people that were a bit more casual.
 
I don’t mind them using the same maps and it basically being the same game. The amount of times a company has had a solid game, only to release a new one and it be dog shite. New maps, new characters, new game mode and you don’t have to pay a single penny. You could say it’s lazy but at the same time you could say why change something that’s no broke….apart from the 5v5, think they might have broken it there.

I jumped on yesterday for a couple of games during the day and got into a lobby straight away. We won and I ended up getting play of the game with Ana, I was fortunate to have a team of people who just wrecked. 
 
Ended up just jumping into some casual games or what ever it’s called, didn’t try any new characters yet as wanted to use my old favourites and get my aim back in.
 
Is this cross play by any chance?

It does, as well as cross-save progression.

Damn dude, it sounds like you've been through a hell of a lot. Sorry to hear all you've gone through and hope everything works out with your house!
 
I'm glad this place could be a support through these tough times, we're always here. You're a good man Paul, stay strong.
