I play Vanguard, just grinding camos and trying to have fun. How are you finding the game in general? I like it and think it's fast paced and enjoyable. I play on PS4, big fan of the Shipment/Das Haus playlists. You will have to add my Activision ID and turn crossplay on. I'm from Scotland, so the time differences might not be ideal. Still worth trying tho dude.

Nice to see you made it back, I don't remember you from back in the day. Always awesome to have returning members.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 101 seconds  

There is definitely a good variety of maps for all sizes. Shipment, Das Haus, World at War Dome, MW3 Dome all small. The rest are all medium/large and there is some very large ones also. I think you will enjoy the offerings. Maps like Paradise, Berlin Wall, Castle and some others I can't remember of the top are absolutely huge. Tactical pacing plays a role also. Tactical is 6v6, assault is 7v7 or 8v8, blitz is 10v10 12v2. I even had a 24v24 TDM on castle one time. Tells you the scale of these maps. Tactical will only be 4v4 on shipment.

Yeah it was quite weird how they sectioned off the downloads this year. I actually skipped the campaign download and went straight to Multiplayer like I do every year. I haven't even downloaded the campaign yet. I find the Multiplayer is fun and pretty frantic with plenty of action. In comparison to MW19 which felt slow and campy. I think you will enjoy the Multiplayer once you get on. Lot's of guns and maps to play on. It's not perfect, but it's enjoyable.

Welcome man nice to meet ya. You must have the patience of a Saint putting up with Cal, especially in real life. 😂 Only joking Cal is a legend here, but seriously huge respect man!

Congratulations to all the winners well done guys! Also Lee you summarised the year very nicely, superbly written.

Yeah not really an aesthetic I feel is needed imo. Definitely a waste of effort and resources. Another area to monotize tho. Only reason it exists I think.

@GazzaGarratt I don't play Warzone , but if it's Integrated with Vanguard and there is Vanguard "settings" there is a lot of dogshit graphics and interface settings that change the game. All the classics like motion blur and field of depth etc are turned on by default and affect vision especially at longer ranges. Also Fidelitycas I recommend turning on as it enhances sharpening and it's night and day at long distances. Also on demand texture streaming I recommend turning off as it causes more lag. There are various other things. I think you need to tinker with settings more. As a rule of thumb adjust contrast and brightness on your TV rather than game settings it just is better mate.

Nice to see you back man. Loving your gaming/office den looks cool. I play Vanguard Multiplayer on PS4, will get you added mate. Don't think we played before because back in the day I was on XBOX and you on PS.

It's not bad if you can get it for a good price. I've never been a fan of Battlefield and not played much of any of them. I watched one of the teaser videos you posted about 2042, it was some guy reloading an LMG on a rooftop. To be honest it looked like a warzone type ripoff. I know Battlefield has existed way before Warzone. I didn't want to comment or rubbish the game because it's not for me. But other people were excited for it and I didn't want to hate on it. 2042 looks like a disgrace and a flop to the franchise. All I've heard is "Glitchy Buggy Mess" Vanguard ain't perfect, but have had 3 updates already and the game has only been out 2 weeks. SHG are at least listening and trying to improve people's experiences.

The Flamethrower into the Spawn is BS for sure. But I think the spawns are better than MW19. There is slightly better angles to defend. Also you don't have the horrible sightlines of corner to corner on this one. It's always going to be wild on this map. I think with the Tactical Pacing like Blitz can make it worse. 8v8 is nuts. Just explosions going off constantly. So far the best I've managed was 108 Eliminations playing Dom 6v6. With the Combat Shotgun. 😈

Vanguard is literally MW19 set in WW2, but with more maps and way more bugs. The game is definitely a bit ropey for the lack of a good description. It's not absolutely awful, but it definitely leaves the participant desiring more of something. Lot's of challenges not tracking or bugged. Some of the challenges just seem long and tedious for no reason. The killstreaks aren't very original. I feel because it's "WW2" it's like other options aren't possible for the timeframe. Seems rather convenient. The TTK is fast, feels like your playing hardcore sometimes when your not. Lots of "Broken" as in OP guns. More so with certain attachments. It's like nothing has been tested properly. Pump action shotgun with fire damage shells and barrels to increase range etc. Literally feels like you could hipfire 1 shot 30m away. Another shotgun you can akimbo. Then there is another shotgun you can move supersonic speed and it's a semi auto shotgun. Will post a link to a ridiculous video at the bottom so you can see what I mean. Now for a few positives, there is loads of guns and plenty of maps. Some maps I haven't even played yet. The multiplayer experience beats MW19 for sure, without a doubt. There is more action and the maps flow pretty well for the most part. Tactical Pacing is very interesting, you can increase the player amount effectively and make the game more intense with more people on smaller maps. Operators have an interesting quirk, each one has a favourite gun. Meaning if you use said gun it will level the gun faster and also your operator. I think this has been used in an older FPS it sounds like a familiar idea. All in all I only paid £20 for it on my PS4. (Had Game vouchers to use up). I would say I get enjoyment out of it, but the game could be better. If they sort out a lot of the bugs etc it could definitely be more fun. Gracey Auto Shotgun. 40 Second V2 Rocket On Core( Not Mine) 😂 This isn't hacking either it's legit, think his teammates avoid killing to let him go for it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nd4K4V8D1I

Some really good advice from everyone here. I'm not extremely frugal with money, but I'm not completely wasteful either. I don't tend to spend much money on clothes and shoes etc. If I need something I will buy it. It's more having a child and my wife's wages have effectively halved since she went part time. I cover the mortgage as I always have. Since her income is lower I took on the council tax which is about £150 a month. Also I don't work a Friday as over time a 6th day. Which is a drop of over £200 a month. So even with that I'm down £350 a month than I was. I don't have any debts or loans etc, but just losing a chunk of money makes things a bit tighter. I finish work and come home and my wife goes to work, I can't just stay on a bit extra or pick up hours because I've to look after the wee one obviously. We value spending time with our girl than having more money or going through the child minder or babysitter route. I wouldn't say I struggle, all bills and everything is paid, but just not a lot leftover to effectively save or play with for luxury items or things to do. I do believe there is always savings and ways to keep more money, but it's all subjective to everyone's circumstances.

PYRAMID SCHEME! Only joking mate! Sounds like good returns and percentages and I'm pleased your doing well. The problem is you need some money to accumulate more. I couldn't afford setting aside anything. Just life in general is survival. I can only dream of having money leftover to set aside.

Yeah the old ESO servers were awesome. I played a lot of rated matches. I got 1750+ with random god's. But I mained Norse, Loki was my fave and I decent with Thor. Sometimes well over 1800-1850 range. I played mostly AOT. I Got 4th on the leaderboards with 1883 on 1v1 Supremacy before Aoe3 cameout. I played some AOM vanilla and got 1850 with 12 matches 100% win smurfing and self rating 😂 The Age of Mythology servers moved to voobly and is still being played. Haven't played in a long time maybe 5-6+ years at least. I did play some on voobly but was a bit rusty tbh.

Nice! I was part of AciD_ clan if you remember them. What god's did you main? Yeah that map creator name sounds familiar.

@LordBaguette Did you ever play Age of Mythology Online? Was awesome in its prime. @J4MES OX4D Yeah I hear ya, price and also expectations of such a title need to be met. I just think the nostalgia is priceless and a must have.

I know you are a PC player so I would if I were you. If I had a decent PC to run it I would 100%. Depends on how much you liked the series, tastes change as well. It might just not be for you.
