Somebody tweeted Micchael Condrey saying the spawns were bad and he responded with somebody about data points, this game is great for spawning and there are only 3 bad spawns per 1000. And FUCK RIGHT OFF WITH THAT SHIT! Spawning in this game was utterly shocking.

3/1000 bad spawns?

Belgian government says loot boxes are gambling and will seek to have them removed in Europe. Yes! Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for these things.

It's not just to do with TitanFall. I read that the Star Wars game that Respawn are working on was vastly superior to the game that Visceral were making even though it's been in production for a much shorted period of time. Apparently this is the main reason that Visceral were shut down.
 
I am worried what this means for TitanFall 3. Can't help thinking it'll be another Loot Crate filled, money grabbing game now  I just hope Respawn signed a contract that gives them enough creative freedom to make the game that THEY want to make rather than a game that EA wants them to make. Also they need to release it at a better time than they did TFL 2.

Ello everybody!
 
I eluded to doing this in the September update and its something I came across that happened 4 years ago in fact. Dave did something great for this community and in the 3 ish years I've been here it's absolutely what we're all about.

I think it's the best thing we can do for each other on things we all love. I'm expecting to do this via a raffle system either similar to the previous way or if we can get something special on FG to show it all of then we'll try to do it that way but that's dependent on getting things installed and time.
 
Let's start seeing how many things we can get hold of to giveaway to each other. I'm initially going to source as much as I can find. I appreciate any donations on this one. It doesn't have to be cash, it can be the actual gift if you have something to offer. I want people to be a part of this just as much as I'm me.
 
I'm personally thinking of the following types of gifts:
 
PSN Vouchers
Xbox Live Vouchers
Steam Vouchers
Destiny 2 DLC
Overwatch Loot Boxes
Rocket League Loot Boxes
League of Legends Vouchers
GAMES!!
PC Keyboard
Anything else gaming related
 
So let me know what ideas you've got for gifts but also anything you can offer!
 
I really hope we can make this a great Christmas for us all this year and it can be a great thank you for everyone being an awesome family here.
 
This is for all FGers, old AND new. We're a family, remember that. So get involved!
 
Much love, Lee x
 

I don't think 5 million people expected the dedicated servers to be taken down and replaced with P2P because of the overwhelming problems seen worldwide with them.  This is an unacceptable situation regardless of whether someone is directly affected or not because of the affect it can have on the community as a whole. Your experience is certainly not refective of that worldwide. A bit of 'lag' here and there can be expected but that's not the case for many with this game and that's not what users deserve from a billion-dollar franchise in 2017.  
 
This game has been executed in shambolic fashion - the engine is ancient, the hybrid servers are dogshit, the netcode is horrendous and the amount of bugs s are ridiculous. It's embarrassing really.  If people haven't seen the issues first hand or haven't read anything Sledgehammer has said then that's fair enough but do not underestimate how tragic this game is in its current state. This video pretty much sums up what it's like for a lot of people every single game
 

Why shouldn' we expect improvement?
 

Ahhh, the good ol' descriptions strike! Bart gets a point.

Don't worry Biron, it is football. You have to sometimes let the Muricans feel at home [emoji6]




Remember, they still can't say aluminium correctly [emoji106]

As I have IBS my poo is pretty much like no.6 all the time. 

Aachen. It's fucking terrible. It's just a bloody maze with 500 different places to get shot from. Just like most of the other maps. London Docks is one of the few maps I actually like.
 
I quite like this game. But I can see it get boring quite fast. The fact there's only 9 MP maps, and they're mostly shit, is one of the reasons why I think this.
Core is unplayable for me yet again! Pisses me right off. It's just bullet sponges, insta-deaths and fucking QSers. So I'm playing HC yet again and just praying they add KC to the HC playlist.
Weapons are shit as well. SMGs are practically useless. The best weapons seem to be the very first AR. For HC at least.
Can't wait to get silent footsteps on my Mountain division as footsteps can be heard over practically everything else in the game.
Sniping is super easy. Even I can do it. Which shows there's a problem with it 

I'm not sure how true this is but it kinda makes sense. Every year we have the same issues. And I find it hard to believe they wouldn't get fixed if they could be fixed. So we'll be stuck with the same problems until we get an ACTUAL new game engine.

I do. I use Armoured for War as some of perks are great for War. 
Apart from that I'm using Mountain. You get Ghost, Blind Eye and Dead Silence on it. 

That doesn't bother me much. A few months down the line isn't too bad because that way they may get a bit of money back from people who have bought the game second hand. And at least after a few months I'll have gotten my monies worth for what I paid for the game. I'm OK with them trying to get a bit more money from me then.
I'm not against them making money - they are a business after all - but I just don't like them being greedy. It's when I've just paid full price for a game and then they're trying to get me to pay even more money that it pisses me off.

As we all know games publishers are getting greedier all the time. All the shit surrounding loot boxes - How they're exploiting them now, how they're in every fucking game, how they're now using them to make games pay-to-win, how they're making games unbalanced because of them - Is getting annoying. 
So I've made a Decision: If any game has loot boxes in then I'm not going to buy it new. I'll get it second hand. Because publishers aren't happy with SOME of my money because they want ALL of my money, they're going to get NONE of my money. Fuck 'em.

Been playing this over the weekend and with a full team of friends it's actually pretty good. I wish they'd remove TeDiuM for the game as it's the shittest mode in there.
Auto Rifles work best and I have one called The Number. It's a beast in PVP! Last few bullets in a magazine deal extra damage and because it takes a full clip to kill people it just wrecks.

Riskrunner. Yeah, I like that one too.

Via the FG App

It's bollocks anyway when all expansion packs have to be paid for. These sort of things are purely to line somebody's pockets.

I guess I'll keep my eye on my emails then as I pre-ordered from Amazon a few weeks/month ago so fingers crossed should get it today.  I'm not sure I see the logic though of giving it out so late as PSN and XBL are going to get hammered with everyone trying to download it at the same time.

One of the beta maps. Looks like a decent map to me. I like that it's a bit vertical and not just level like most COD maps are.

The Abbadon heavy machine gun. It's a beast!

 
Also, I hope they're bringing sexy back..

My MP3 player is on shuffle and has music ranging from 80's pop through to techno and thrash metal. So I can be listening to Duran Duran one minute and then Onslaught the next 
One of my favourite newly discovered bands are Madball
 
 

I won't be. Starting a new job soon so be able to get any time off just yet.
