Well, hello there! 😄
 

 
It has definitely been far too long for an update that always tries to deliver a Feel Good smile. In all honesty I did intend to do this post a few weeks ago, but time got the better of me before my holiday. Nevertheless, quite a few people have started to receive a few things in the past few months and i'll try and least some of them below so we can all see how we're helping each other with the FGFGF.
 
Connor @JamaicanSteve  has had a right ol' challenge in getting into more games, especially whilst he's been trying to find a job for a while, so we're happy that a copy of MW2019 was sent across to him to keep his spirits up and hopefully turned the corner with the job front too! 😄 . Whilst we're on the MW2019 revival across FG as we wait for the new one in October it was time that Gary @techno  and Martin @Findmartin  enjoyed a copy of MW2019 too to help them get involved in more gaming nights with everyone. Feel Good moments are always good when you can give gifts people unexpectedly and these two definitely deserve some Feel Good lifting too.
 
That being said, Jordie @jordie1892  has been a class act supporting FIFA nights and helping with tournaments along the way. All the while having to deal with job interviews in a stressful place. A game he's always wanted to try was The Hunt: Showdown and now he can with a copy going to him 😄
 
Nick @Bluebear  has been a fantastic FGer over the years and has always been trying to support the Destiny nights when he can. He's never received something from the FGFGF and its about time he did. So he can enjoy some more FG gaming nights, he's now the proud owner of Gran Turismo 7. Staying with the racing, I know since the new baby that Jason @JBR-Kiwi  has had it not always his way so I'm pleased to say that he has also received a fine copy of GT7. I hope its well received and gives FG plenty more drivers to anger Greebs on the racetrack 😅
 
You might've also noticed that we have a certain, record breaking FG meet up In November (if you haven't, then you really need to get your name down here. Its absolutely incredible to think we're going to be getting some of the American FGers over, and we're super grateful they're coming. So much so, we're making sure they don't have to pay accommodation costs at all and if we can help with the travelling, then that's what we're going to do with @Misneach_ , @TurboR56Mini  and @RenFengge.
 
To help another American with an FG Feel Good smile, Hector @Horrible_Hector  has received a voucher to get the Cult of the Lamb, something that will hopefully be right up his street. Times can be difficult whether we know it or not and I hope these little moments can keep the spirits up through the hard times.
 
@Leeesh13  finally received his FG award, only 4-5 months later than expected due to South African postal services! But what he wasn't expecting was a special FG mug with it to keep him topped up with the gaming juices he needs to have more gaming nights with FG.
 
To round off the little gifts from the summer months, Harold @Spacedeck  has been doing his best helping others with PCs and to aide his challenges at home, especially with his space and organisation, we've managed to send him an awesome Nintendo Switch Cube storage box. We hope we can do more things like this in the coming months too as there's lots of ways we can help give people that Feel Good feeling.
 
 
With all of this going on, we have more to help, more to try and find ways to give that FG Feel Good factor out so watch this space. We'll also likely try and do a monthly raffle for the rest of 2022 with vouchers for the rest of the year if the FGFGF pot allows us to do so. A huge THANK YOU for the few FGers out there helping out with an FG membership that is an amazingly easy way for us to keep finding ways to help more FGers -  If you want to help other FGers Feeling Good via the FGFGF on a regular basis moving forward, please check them out here.

Had to chuck on the Friday tunes today!
 
 
Jungle - Fred Again..

Sounds like the sort of self-torture game I normally enjoy 😂

Just wondering if anyone has been able to play this strategy game? I've been watching a few videos on YouTube about it and think it looks really good!
 
Unfortunately you can't get it for PS4 but it looks available on PC and next gen consoles.
 
Might have to see if it works on my laptop 🤞

I can't wait to drive head first through windows again 😂

With Modern Warfare II’s launch fast approaching, some questions remain; what strides are Infinity Ward taking to make Modern Warfare II a fresh experience? Similar to its predecessor, Infinity Ward plans to refine its parkour system, drawing inspiration from Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, as well as with the introduction of all-new features and mechanics; here’s the scoop! 
With Modern Warfare II’s multiplayer maps sticking to a more tight and hard-lined approach to level design; players will be able to meddle with these mechanics in Warzone 2, putting these new features to the test in a larger, more variable playground; using the environment to your advantage!
 
Movement

Ladders & Ropes
With Ladders, you’ll be able to vertically position the equipment alongside walls, containers, and buildings; though if not supported, it will fall and shatter, causing the Field Upgrade to reset. 
For Ropes, You’ll be able to repel down, and scale up buildings with this tool. whilst repelling, players can also swing through windows, or into collapsed walls. You can also attach the rope to vehicles and players, allowing for a quick getaway for downed players. 
 
Shifting & Strafing 
Strafing lets you move sideways in any direction, as well as backwards. Say you get too close to a threat, or you turn a corner where you’re at a disadvantage, you can shift out of the area to clear some space and get a better view of your options and surroundings. 
 
Wall-climb
Players will be able to vertically clamber up walls, this feature is determined by the height of the platform you’re trying to reach and mount.
 
Ledge-hanging 
You’ll be able to hang off and grab onto ledges. Call of Duty’s newest mechanic that allows players to reach for impracticable platforms, also reduces fall damage. Players will also be able to use their sidearm whilst ledge-hanging. 
 
Sliding
Sliding has since been revised, allowing for players to now slide into a prone position, as well as down angled inclines and slopes. 
 
Bunny-hopping
Bunny-hopping is dependent on the height a player falls from; the greater the height, the more speed boost you will gain onto your bunny-hop.  
 
Gameplay features

Exigency hip-fire (Quick sidearm draw)
A feature that allows you to quickly switch to your sidearm with one hand, this can also be done with lethals. 
 
Suppressor Meter
You can change the size of suppressors and depending on the size it’ll affect recoil, damage, and ranges. There’ll exist a meter that players will be able to mess with and find their balance. 
 
Weapon handling (Grips) 
An operator will have the option of choosing between a set of different tactical handlings and techniques; this can affect the accuracy and speed of a weapon, some examples include a Magwell Grip, and C-Clamp Grip. 
 
Magazine check animation
-For modes with limited heads-up-display (HUD), you’ll be able to inspect a weapons magazine count. 
 
Reticle ammunition count 
New design where reticles display a weapons ammo count, seen with revolvers and shotguns. 
 
These refined and renewed mechanics will give fans a new learning-curve, that’ll allow players to effectively interact with, practice, and master stringing together unfamiliar gameplay features.

Got people taking about it soo... Did it actually do its job?

I like the way Rocket League does it — they have a Casual match making playlist and a Competitive one. 

Perhaps a better Skill-based match making system could help? I've never though COD has been great in that department.

I'd like to think this will be similar to the most recent Modern Warfare (2019) which I really enjoyed.
 
I'd like a more realistic looking game than these badly animated/textured games COD keep coming out with.

Yeah I've heard a few good things.. annoying it's only coming to next gen consoles but what can you expect?
 
If you give it a go let me know what you think!

Awesome I'll have to check out both of those! Appreciate the insight 👍

Beta schedule

Yeah because when its this good, I don't want to rock the boat as i'm sure we'll have rocky days ahead still! 😅
 
 
I don't blame you. Conte has probably one of the best chances i've seen since Poch was there. He's even got Dier playing really well for him too.

You forgot to mention the only team on full points in the Championship 😉
 
Personally I'm happy with things at Tottenham for the foreseeable future. Will be an interesting season for sure.
 
Feel sorry for Utd fans, I hear they're after Marko the racist now too...

CK3 is on Xbox gamepass and I keep meaning to play it on PC at some point. Had rave reviews at launch.

yep like the souls series this is another game for masochists, it has a very steep learning curve, btw 2 is free on steam if i remember correctly, it's just the base game but it's a good entry without seriously splurging on something you might not like, cause these games have a ton of dlcs
