I've tried to have a few games last night and I think its the case of learning the key areas of the map first before I make an assessment. Removing all loadouts was an unwelcome surprise before playing our first games but it felt good to experience new places. Guns felt abit over the place, although the BAR worked brilliantly for me. The SMG felt unstable as hell. My major thought was just how pale/beigy the colours were which made it difficult for me to spot and find most people that clearly know the map more than me already. I might see if Ican do anything with the contrast next time we jump on. Still, good games watching @jordie1892 , @Macca89 and @J-Lurch do well 🤣 I think Tom @LordBaguette found it pretty refreshing too. We'll see how the coming weeks go as we get more used to the map and what areas not to get caught out wide in the open.

The borders look that big that they could cover some of the key play in the Killcam. Weird choice to try and monetize.

Hey up Matt! Ace to always see some people come home 🤗 How has life been anyway? Went to write this before I left for my daughter's football and wanted to see your cave but now you have, it looks awesome pal! Is that a 3D maker thingy? How you been find CoD anyway? Not many have bought it here tbh. Same old CoD and with Battlefield coming out we were expecting more to buy that but you never know with Christmas right round the corner. We do play a lot of Warzone though, I really enjoy that for a fun chilled couple of games. Just go out there and get as many kills as we can, and if we win at the same time its a bonus. Hope you stick around at FG once more mate 🧡

It totally was. I hope the replayability value will feel up there with it! Sounds like a plan to me Gaz, looking forward to dying multiple more times to spikes 🤣 Iron Banner wasn't populated much at all as we played 7-8 games on Tuesday and never had a 6v6 game. We also dominated every game, with 5-6 ending up as a Mercy win. Good time to get some Valor ranks as they are also offering bonus points this week too. Hoping the new Battle Rifle is going to hit hard in there. INCREDIBLE NEIGHS 😍 Honestly, the whole Xur and Starhorse gameshow hosts is quite clearly the best thing from it. Especially alongside Lightning Rounds and nostalgic bosses to contend with in the 6 player activity. Oh, and lets not forget - The Dawning is happening at next week's reset. The choice to do things are superb right now and totally unexpected. Great time to pick the game back up again.

A new 'Brawler Royale' game where up to 40 players can play in a single to knock their opponents out. It's out on February 8th for ALL platforms. There is also an early access available for all platfoms - sign up below! Trailer Official Gameplay EARLY ACCESS SIGN UP LINK - http://www.rumbleverse.com/ It looks like its something fresh to the BR genre and i'm glad we can get to try it out before we buy too. Be good to try out the early access together perhaps as well.

An amazing new story trailer released at The Game Awards yesterday @Jason I feel like this your Destiny 🤣

Stop what you're doing tonight after work and put that bad boy on with the family. Its a super family film, not like amazingly 10 out of 10 good but I think you would be surprised given how much nervousness there was around before the film came out. Jim Carrey is fantastic as Dr. Robotnik.

I forgot that was the only moment I watched it and thought "We're screwed" 😄

A tech demo is available now for free on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The full demo is below and it acts as a tease to the new film (Matrix Resurrections) coming out very soon and also to show off the ability of the next gen consoles. I initially thought it was a game and it very much looked like the old James Bond RPG games which could be pretty linear but also very enjoyable but now its not that i'm a little gutted truth be told. Who knows if the film gets a good reception they may decide to create a fully fledged game in the future. Let us know if you try it out.

TAILS AND KNUCKLES!! Out April 8th 2022 They've even managed to link in Emeralds into the film which I think is a great move. Can't beat just all out fun films.

I didn't realise there's a further drop from Europa to Conference. How in the world do UEFA not see that this ruling devalues the entire European football i'll never know.

January 14th next year - PC Trailer and Specs below 😄

A new trailer released just before it went live: Well, firstly i'd say that when I looked at the pricing model, I did think this was going to be overpriced in some ways versus the seasons and upcoming DLC in Feb 2022. However, yesterday was absolute blast. It was like opening the game and everything wacky, fun as hell to do was right there to do yesterday. I think what has also helped is that we have Iron Banner and Moments of Triumph that have started on the same day so it felt like you could pretty much go anywhere and do something fun. What I like most about it though, is it is exactly what they've been saying it was for weeks on social media. They knew it was going to be exactly connected to story but more of a celebration for all things Bungie related. What we got was a Xur and Horsey playing Wheel of Fortune Gameshow with tons of randoms Power Ups alongside some fun, simplistic mechanics. The Dungeon is also just really good fun for anyone that wants to have a real laugh at watching your mates get spiked by accidentally hitting a pressure pad or a lever. @Ajay , @ImRyzxn and myself spent over an hour just dying and laughing away, finding our way through it 🤣 Is much of the content easy? Yeah, I think so. But they also shipped stuff with Master difficulties to be challenged a little more and there are triumphs to grab that will give you some pretty cool emblems and other cosmetics. Loot? Well, if you love Halo like I do, the fact you now can get the CE Pistol and Battle Rifle from Halo in the game is absolutely awesome. The Battle Rifle scope is just like what you would expect, detailed for a long range Pulse Rifle. Cosmetics/Ornaments - There are some great new emotes and some crazily good ornaments. One of which makes me want to start using a Warlock more (yes, I did say that). The Titan has a Burning Tiger Helmet which i'm so looking forward to getting. Oh, and I nearly forgot. Xur and Starhorse's inventory in the 'Eternity' space now on the overall Map, feels like there is a ton of stuff to do and doesn't feel grindy on the face of it. Time will tell of course. How is everyone else finding it? Truly surpised for a 20 quid DLC unexpected at this time.

Yeah, I expected this one to be up there with others but I geniunely loved it. Gambit is a great gamemode and having Prime with the Reckoning loop made it feel really beefy. Sometimes you do need abit of grind to feel the value. I'm annoyed that I was 3 pieces of armour off Reckoner and only have myself to blame! Stepping back I can understand how others that just don't like Gambit would definitely feel like this one was lacking something though. What I would say on a positive note is that the seasonal model has been on an overall upward curve, with only a few 'dips' along the way. Thats pretty clear when you look at the list of the Seasons. DLCs on the other hand feel like they need this Witch Queen to bring it back up to the Forsaken quality.

The drone looks bloody awesome. We've never had something like that before! I'm also stocked by another quest variety added, alongside the Bicycle reward after 10 Tier 1 Quests - thats massive for us I believe. Sounds like we'll have to be careful on the meds because the rarity is going up. At least it means people can help focus on certain skills to help the overall FG crew.

Good, because as much as I laugh about it, I do want a game to use my racing wheel with otherwise its pointless having it! 😄

@Macca89 @RenFengge @TurboR56Mini @Tar-Eruntalion @Misneach_ @J-Lurch @LordBaguette @Mikepjbell just tagging a few more on PC that maybe can get on this too which would be another fun server to join with us all.

I'm in - the slots thing though I believe is 10 players online concurrently rather than 10 max but totally would be ace to see large party nights on this. Horde nights with a large group are hilarious as ever, especially if you fall from tall heights 👀🤣

I think a huge problem for Seasons are when the DLCs come out, they never truly get them right. I always think of Season of the Undying (8) and Season of the Hunt (12). They were massively propped up by huge content drops so I get that the content may not be the most engaging for specific reasons but for someone who wants more 6 player activities, Undying was very basic, long and boring with no change to the boss. Hunt had these Lore things and i've still not got more than 10% through the whole thing as they were so quick it didn't make much sense - and it could be done solo with a slow replayability factor involved. Appreciate some here didn't like the Sundial activity in Season 9 (Dawn) but for me that was a huge season that started getting the story back on track with Saint-14 and there were replayable mini-levels within it that at least kept it interesting, with guaranteed selectable loot at the end. You could also argue that Season of the Outlaw (4) was pretty sketchy if you think of it in isolation. For the same reasons above, it came out with Forsaken DLC, which one of the best we received...but makes you wonder what we actually did around that for the Season. I believe it was the Spider bounties and not much else. At least the end weekly bounty was always a fun one to do as the missions were like bespoke, cool Lost Sector bosses. What was yours @Leeesh13 ?

Thanks for the responses @The3rdWalker @techno and @J4MES OX4D . I was trying to understand both sides because I do agree that priority should be sorting out the crappy parts of the game first, and i'd also go along with that you want the general themes to at least stay within the realms of what the game is about, to an extent. I suppose my initial reaction was it was just bad marketing timing rather than a huge issue for me. I think all the games that have an element of realism to them e.g. using humans, war based games, etc, will always get criticism of wacky skins. Whereas games that are more about fiction e.g. Overwatch, Destiny, Fortnite, etc, can get away with having pretty much any skin they want because it doesn't mess with the mind of the consumer as much. I hope they fix the game in the coming weeks and months so we can actually see if they can put some decent skins together like Warzone actually has of late.

Not everyday will feel like progress, but you are making progress mate. You have sorted so many practical things like your house potential sale to other key factors like your kids - all alongside you dealing with this emotionally. So many things have already been sorted and time is helping you heal, we can definitely see that. Just know on the days where it seems more tougher than others, that we're here pal, like always. Talk, moan, laugh and joke with us whilst we play online. Because everyone like Dad jokes, right? 😎

Coronavirus will definitely hit a few more clubs in the next month. Praying its not going to hit Rovers though. I actually think top players won't go until they see them moving away from the relegation zone. They might have to go to the Championship and lower down to buy some up and coming quality but they aren't like Man City or Chelsea when they both got took over as they were mid/lower table teams, not relegation bound ones.

I hope so too. Never understood why BR games force players on one map at a time. Sure, the playerbase could hate a map and then back out every time if it was in a rotation but surely that means you fix the map to make it better overall rathert than forget the old maps completely. Fingers crossed we see some form of rotation of both maps in a few months time.

Disappointed that a big player has pro-actively took this step. What is this world coming to when we are saying something intangible as a Digital 'thing' costs millions.
