Any SMG or the Peacekeeper is an easy guarantee to the mid game. Just never take the Mozambique.

R3 and Prowler with select fire is the play. Two wins today were because of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am a very big fan of Logitech peripherals and how long they last. (I currently have a G610 Keyboard, and a G403 mouse) Their G430 headset is a great budget, over the ear, and 7.1 surround sound. HyperX also makes some quality gear, so I'd recommend the Stinger. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CQ35C1Q?tag=t9r-p-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L2ZRYVE?tag=t9r-p-20

I make sure it’s up to date whenever I do my resume. However it’s becoming a bit like Facebook so I find that a big negative. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Solid all around. They’ve done a great job to make this a clear upgrade from Division 1. The armor system makes the DZ much better as people actually die. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To me Fortnite was never about gun skill, it's all about building which was a huge chore for me. I do know Apex will be the talks of an esport but I believe BR has no place for an esport.

As of right now this is the best BR game on the market, no question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think one of the best features of this game is their ping system. You don't need to say a word to randoms and everyone just understands it. No more vague ping in a direction that could mean 600 things. Not only that but everything has a voice line to it. I'm still in the honeymoon phase of this game so I am wondering when it will wear off but man, Respawn is killing it.

What the heck is this knockoff Mario Kart nonsense? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I cannot stress this enough how surprised I am with this game. I am not a BR fan at all but this game gave me chills loading up the first time. The game is really smooth, they didn't reinvent the wheel but the idea of the Legends are really solid. I just wonder if we will see a meta-game in the future.

Rams should never have been in this game. Saints would have put on a better game.

Exactly. Bungie didn’t have 10 years on content planned, they were just in a deal with activision for that time. If Anyhem bombs I see BioWare being done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That “10 year plan” was a bullshit line spun by them. That was just to sell their product, Bungie has been making it up as they go along when all of their scapegoats on pst generations of consoles went out the window with D2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This trend in video gaming was made popular thanks to mobile games. The 5% of a player base considered whales makes micro-transactions profitable enough that the other 95% of the community doesn't matter to them outside of the initial sale of the game. Unfortunately without legal intervention that loot boxes are tied to gambling there's no reason to remove them; they print money which is bad for us who care about video games. The total monies I have spent as the years go on in video games continue to decline. I will never pre-order a game again unless there's a nostalgic value to me personally. While I do not care about micro-transactions that are purely cosmetic, I can't ignore that it's a Pandora's box. I personally am not a fan of the Fortnite seasons methodology, but I can admit it's the best form of a lootbox, showing what's inside and the clear progress to achieve everything; I just don't like to be nickle and dimed. The gimmick that these micro-transactions fund future content has been proven to be absolute bullshit time and time again by everyone minus Digital Extremes (Warframe). Destiny Eververse got us nowhere, nothing. I could potentially make a case for Epic Games & Fortnite because of the rotating game modes and game updates. As always, vote with your wallet, cause a stink and denounce shady business practices online. I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel until famous game studios break apart and form their own grassroots, make one or two amazing games, only to sell out and repeat the cycle. When a game studio is controlled by a board of executives rather than the developers and passionate staff it's doomed; all about counting beans. The next step we are seeing is game launchers. I am still an avid fan of Steam only because their 30% reduces to 20% based on milestones of units sold. (Epic takes a 15% cut, so really that 5% to me as a consumer is not worth it as I now have to deal with a subpar game launcher) But that 5% means something to the c-suite.

Likewise.
