[Modern Warfare 2(022)]

I think it’s on a timer rather than changing based on the background, 

 

I have a kleo skin which the legs change colour from grey to green snake print this is happening constantly throughout the match, also like the black cell skins where the gold fades in and out,

The #3 is easy but takes patience. You need gold bars and skulls. 

Can you still keep extracting the same skulls and bars with a secure backpack? That’s what I did for this mission last Season, 

 

I haven’t touched DMZ in several weeks. I’ve been enjoying my return to dead by daylight instead.

lmao! I guess the only solution is for Activision and Microsoft to pull out of the USA then amirite😎

 

The FTC outright rejected the heavily amended terms too, so butthurt MS and Activision can't accuse the CMA of being the ultimate cockblockers. 

That would be the logical way forward surely?

[Final Fantasy IX - Will there ever be a remake?]

I absolutely loved FFIX it’s my favourite to play from the final fantasy games which I have played, VII, VIII, IX and XIII

I would be interested in a remake but probably wouldn’t get it for the same reason I didn’t get FFVII remake in that I just don’t have good enough hardware to do it justice

That I agree with but I have not seen anything indicating that would be the case. Perhaps you have. What they said is that they would be earned differently which strictly speaking would mean that you don't have to purchase them. I could be wrong

It’s an assumption on my part but let’s be honest no-one would be surprised

Then you would not have prestige. I agree with what you are saying, however I remember every person in this group prestiging so it don't that would be a big deal. A lot of people were upset at not being able to do that anymore as they didn't have anything to work towards and there were a number of challenges that were available only after prestiging 

 

Yes and thats a choice which the player can make but anyway whether or not anyone chooses to prestige or not isn't the point. My point is that it would be a pretty shitty move for them to take the insured slots away from people and then make them purchasable. Thereby more pay to win

 

I honestly don't mind the slots being taken away and I also don't mind them being made purchasable, but if they do both then that is just a shitty move.

You lost your guns, you perks, your kill streaks, your letals, your equipment and you had to earn the back until you maxed out your level again. 

 

You started over with 4 default classes and some default guns. Everything else had to be earned again

 

Later on you could purchase bundles with blueprints and Voila and level 50 Gun with maxed out attachments the minute custom slots open up

 

How is not?

 

because entering prestige mode was an optional choice. You had the option to keep all of your weapons at max level if you didn't want to grind for them again.

I don't know, remember when you use to be able to prestige in COD?

 

Kind of the same thing. However I do agree that some of those missions can be a pain in the ass

 

 

how is taking away insured slots and possibly making them purchasable the same as the old prestige system?  

[Street Fighter 6]

So I had decided against buying SF6 but then they announced these retro skins for the OG characters. 9 yr old me would be going nuts for this!! 

 

 

[DMZ Season 4 is being reset]

A full reset is coming with Season 4

 

This includes

Faction Missions Progress

Contraband

Keys

Mission Stash

Insured Weapon Slots

They state that the insured weapon slots will have new ways to unlock them. 
 

I gotta be honest if they make them purchasable that might be enough for me to not come back to this game.

[Skins sale for some not others]

This is the way in most games unfortunately especially with f2p however I don’t feel like mw2 has been too bad in regards to overpowered weapons being released. Maybe it’s just that at my sbmm level it just doesn’t make that much of a difference.

You should give MK11 a go, it is probably dirt cheap now and the depth of the game is really there.

With a new Killer Instinct on the way too looks good for fighting games.

As much as I want them they’ll likely just end up as games I spend a couple of hours on then only play for the odd 15 minutes here and there so just not worth it SF6 is also likely to be the same for me unfortunately.

Looks really promising, I haven't played a mortal kombat game in years.

Main account-12k points and probably bought multiple bundles because he is a youtuber. No discount. 

 

His 2nd account-400 Cod points and probably bought no bundles from that account. Huge discounts. 

Except you have them the wrong way around the 400 cp account with massive discounts is his main and the 12k cp is the secondary. 
 

im not trying to say that this isn’t the case as it makes business sense to offer discount to players which don’t buy, I’m just saying that only having 2 reference points isn’t enough to know for sure that’s the case. 

[Skins sale for some not others]

instead of to how many cod points you have maybe the discount is related purchases you've made and accounts with more purchases get a better discount? a bit like a loyalty card. 

[Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 3 (2023)]

I’m secretly hoping there is some kind of progression between mw2 and mw3. Not holding my breath though,

 

I’m kinda burnt out on dmz at the moment and am not really playing that much anymore. 
 

I’ll be honest though I have bought a couple of the bundles, having a taq-56 and mcpr-300 with 15 minute cool-down is a blessing it means with 3 insured slots I can even take an insured gun in for regear runs. It’s not so much pay to win for me as I still lose a lot it’s more like pay to play.

[Share your FG Mastery Camo Challenge Escapades!]

The m13b has a special place for me! yeah its not a great gun but the effort I went to unlocking it I feel like I owe it to myself to use it. 

[DMZ Tips Thread]

Yes @cyberninja2601 is right all 3 weapons cases still have the same rewards they launched with you can actually track them from the main menu in the challenges section, the chemist also still has the m13b hazardous. The bombmaker has now been given a crossbow which is different, and could be a nice way to unlock it if you didn’t get it in season 2. 

[DMZ Tips Thread]

The Al Mazrah Weapons case has changed in Season 3, It now no longer spawns with the Juggernaut. It can now either spawn on the new train safe, or spawn with the new boss the Pyro. The Pyro will spawn at either the US embassy, Downtown Post Office or Airport Control Tower.

And the scavenger backpack in the secure backpack (or large backpack if you want to extract an extra gun). 

 

This won't work, when you equip the secure backpack anything not in the first 5 normal slots of your backpack is dropped to the floor and this includes your stowed weapon. If you have a stowed weapon you have to make a choice do you want to keep your secure backpack and upto 5 other items or do you want to keep the stowed weapon and lose everything else. 

 

I personally don't do it this way as it is a risk if you die with the large/scavenger packs equipped then you lose your items. I just cope with the 5 slots when I'm running the secure backpack. Just think back in Season 1 this would have saved me weeks and weeks of time spent looting for more poppy house keys. 

[DMZ Tips Thread]

A few Season 3 tips
 

It seems that when you enter building 21 you now get a free 3 plate, large backpack, self revive, fennec and also it doesn’t consume your keycard, I went in yesterday for a single match to see if it was consuming your keycard fully expecting to die as I used an operator with no gear. Then I spotted the extra items after I spawned in, mulled around a little took some bots out and made the first exfil!

 

If you have a secure backpack you can use this to bring out items to regear a different operator. Any items in your secure backpack are kept in your inventory for your next deployment. If you come out with a vest, backpack, self res, etc you can select a different operator and spawn in with this gear, then head into your inventory to equip them.

Yeah I saw that Pat, I've already eyed it up. Will be taking those dogshit attachments the blueprints has off when I get it. 

 

I just would prefer it to originally be earned like an event like this. 

Then the blueprints be an extra you earned in DMZ or WZ or whatever. 

you most likely will only have access to the blueprint, to unlock the base gun fully you may need to go into DMZ with the blueprint gun and exfil with it.

 

personally I’m pleased the m13b was only available for dmz. As I wouldn’t have touched dmz otherwise and I have been playing dmz primarily since Christmas.

This really isn't pay to win since not one has stood in my way and I didn't buy it

That’s because at the moment the only pay to win feature to reach the game is medium backpack and 15 minute cool-down on a Sakin. Which is really not an issue.
 

The worry is where it leads, spawn rush squads having 3 uavs at the start of every match whilst rare are a concern but what happens when the rewards start increasing or become items which aren’t available to everyone. Maybe in the future you could buy an operator with a secured scavenger bag. 
 

 

 

[Vampire Survivors]

Nice this game is fantastic! 

[DMZ Season 3]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the past few days and I’m not too concerned with it in it’s current form but am worried where this may lead. It certainly sets a precedent.

 

The med backpack, 2 plate and self res isn’t really op, and are mostly only make your initial battles with the AI a bit easier. The uav is mostly fine, if a geared up squad are going to spawn rush you it’s likely they already have at least 1 uav anyway. I only really see it as an issue for spawn rushers looking for an easy regain. These players are going to spawn rush you regardless

at least you know they might be on their way when they pop it. 
 

The thing you need to remember with DMZ is that unlike in Battle Royale not every run is zero to hero for every player the playing field isn’t level.  Of the many squads spawning in they will have varying states of gear from nothing to full meta. 

Although I would have liked the free self to have been on one of the operators which I actually use rather than Konig lol, I would really benefit from having that! The number of times my regain runs are cut short because I got overwhelmed by AI quickly into my run, or I ran into a grenade trap which will down a player with a one plate. 
 

That being said I am concerned where this might lead now the rabbit hole has been opened.
