I'll play whenever we organise something. Its a pick up and play game for me mostly so if someone sorts an hour or two on it one night, happy to jump on.

Let us know how it goes. Is it in the main game permanently from today?

Glad it went well. I think you can easily forget the basics of holding 2 control points all the time rather than going for the third one. The map on the Dreadnought is a prime example, hold A and B as they have to come over the big void to B which you can cover pretty easily, as well as the covering A from a distance on the left. One of the Ornament challenges is 25 wins so hoping to get some more tonight.

I think we need a better ranking system. It's one of those things you can easily take for granted but seems to be popular everywhere I else I see them. I'm opening up to you all to understand what you'd like to see. An example of one i've put below so you get the jist. We have the ability to really bespoke on it, we would just need some decent graphics to go with them. Thoughts people?

How's the server going? I'd like to get this as one of the first games on PC. Also, should think about something similar to Minecraft and set some things to work on together in a separate thread.

Honestly, I totally get that most of this should've been in the game from the start and that's a view I 100% agree with. But it ain't going to change where the game is right now, so rather than keep focusing on what we should be getting i'm trying to look at these updates on their own and make an opinion on whether or not its a worthwhile game to play without comparison. January (recently just received) My view so far is that whilst it isn't gamebreaking, it really has added some depth to the regular events, especially Iron Banner. The Armour Masterworks is something that most people were wanting and is as close to the 'God Roll' solution as you will find now that you can re-roll stats of each armour. The Raid perks from what I've read so far are extremely advantageous in the raid now and a great addition to help teams get through it but also to re-think their gameplay as some stats are linked to which gunslot you use regularly. They could've added perks to benefit other activities (i've banged on about this since people wanted raid perks) as then you could see more use in them. A really good and solid improvement (for a change). February This feels like not much of an update to the actual in-game enhancements as most of the updates are from the web development team working with the companion app. I can't knock those changes and the only reason why these are coming and are the main focus is because the updates are done by a different development team. You can see they've added some unique loot to Nightfall, which is great - it needs to be all strike specific loot imo. I think as February looks less full of game updates, they added it in with that asterisk because they probably predicted some backlash about how Feb would be received. March 6v6 Iron Banner. This makes me really happy. One of the key parts we all missed from D1. Here's hoping they extend to other game modes and not keep it time-restricted. The larger community was hoping for the sandbox in February. I really don't know what to make of it really - whatever happens, it feels like people will argue that whetever they've done has broken the game due to what's already happened. Strikes will come more relevant in this update with the modifiers but if unique rewards haven't come in Feb they must come with this update in March for all strikes. Nightfall challenge cards sounds decent. May It's now been confirmed DLC2 drops at the same time as this update, alongside the new Season 3. Crucible rankings and Private Matches are really needed to give Crucible a purpose. I think its still too vague to say if it will be a good update but as DLC will drop at the same time, this is possibly the perfect time for most people that want to come back to a shitload of changes and have a larger pool of stuff to grind. Also, we will get the 2nd raid lair so 3 raids to play by May. I really hope this game starts to deliver now. We all miss that one game to bring everyone together. Its still a solid shooter, maybe the break might give people the air they need to see this game turnaround. Just hope to God they deliver these succesfully AND give us more stuff to have fun with (they still haven't mentioned Crimson Days, hidden quest-style stuff to find and new co-op activities, all of which have been confirmed).

Thoughts everyone? Just to mention, the next DLC and Crimson Days event isn't mentioned on it currently. Via the FG App

I think this will send people into sweaty salty mode if this wrecks everything and anything in front of you. Via the FG App

Some smaller tweaks to the game that haven't been major discussion points: - XP throttling has been fixed and the XP needed to level up is now 120k not 160k - Loot cave exploit stopping you gain specific loot from Lost Sectors has been decreased from 10 mins to 5 mins. Via the FG App

Couldn't agree more Gaz. Here's another I just heard tonight. Via the FG App

Blackburn are surprisingly giving the fans something to cheer about - 18 games unbeaten in the league, 1 point off top spot. Hope we keep hold of Brad Dacks today. On other news, can't believe Arsenal think Giroud can't do a job. The guy scores great goals, just because he looks lazy doesn't mean he is! Via the FG App

Lolz. I've never heard of either! However my mum picked up from her mum a snack with celery sticks filled with cream cheese and then wrapped in buttered brown bread. Celery stick random madness!

Yeah,sorry Gaz, we seemed to get a few more wins once you left 😂 I agree with the gunfights, I only felt one game out of around 12 was 'broken' to use your words. I picked up the IB arms that were Masterworks added which was a bonus and the Scout Rifle which apparently is the best in that archetype. A team of 4 together with some practice on the mapas again sounds ideal.

Well Gary and I got hammered most of the night! Still pretty half decent PvP though, we were both 80/90% above 1k/d and capping flags so we were abit gutted not to win many. It was pretty solid with either the Positive Outlook AR or the Uriel's Gift AR. Even had a 4 stack for abit with Diddums and Rico. (Yes you read it right, 4 actual people playing Destiny 2). The last ornament challenge is win 25 matches which may take some time based on tonight's showing [emoji23] Via the FG App

I've never heard of anyone having nutella on celery Sarah, the idea just sounds weird. It must be a Northern thing in both lands [emoji6] Via the FG App

Sent a request to update the FG Android App. It looks more in line with the latest upgrade to Tapatalk which looks neater but also resolves the issue of embedded Twitter and other sources not showing at all which is great news. I'll let you know when I find out it is available in the play store. Night Mode I can't seem to see the chat service it had previously but will check again. Not a major issue but it was nice to know it was there. Via the FG App

Whoops! You're right mate, I am. Never played the first Black Ops on MP. Via the FG App

Introducing our Snipers Shootout Limited Time Mode, with a trusty revolver for those close engagements! The shootout begins now and ends on Feb. 2. What can I find in this mode? Sniper Rifles Revolvers All consumables, except for grenades Played a few rounds last night and was decent fun. If you aren't any good at snipers it's at least a good time to practice them as you won't get mowed down by ARs all the time whilst trying to pick off a few people in the distance. Only on for a few more days but could be extended if they get good feedback. How has everyone else found it?

For the first time in quite a while i'm looking forward to a few games on Iron Banner this week. Once someone logs on we should share the Ornament Challenges on here as they look like something decent to grind and work towards.

Not gonna lie, I do miss the speed and the jumping of this game compared to WW2. It doesn't make WW2 a bad game by any means, but the speed of getting round certain maps I enjoyed. They actually feel like 2 completely different games that I wouldn't usually compare as they have too many different components.

Nice Nick, reminded me of the days when the pistol on Halo 1 was a 2 shot kill. Via the FG App

Really trying hard to stay with this series but I don't know why i'm feeling a little meh in the middle of episodes. I think sometimes, whilst I do like the fact they build up to a full impact scene, it seems to take quite a long time to get to the crunch point which could be over in minutes. It's still a decent series as Jon Bernthal who plays The Punisher is a perfect fit for him and it's because of him that I keep at it.

Can't beat a bit of Wilson Phillips

My nephew picked up 3 or 4 of these on the weekend. 15 seconds it takes to drink and 1 per slot so you can't stack them. I suggest you just drink it even if you're at 100 health. The shields matter massively on this game.
