Now THAT is absurd. Does it have his stupid arse laugh on gameplay sounds?

There are some interesting theories out there that "aliens" are actually demons. I've heard/seen at least 3 interviews with different "alien researchers" who have studied abductions that say as soon as the person abducted invoked the name of Jesus, the "aliens" were scared/agitated, but reverent of the name, and the abductions stopped completely.

Not saying I believe that either way, just something interesting to ponder.

I'll try it out tonight. I used to do that with supply run contracts back in the day and it worked pretty well.

I am very pleasantly surprised so far with how well the release has been, and I'm having a very good time!

My main two issues are the TTK is WAY too low, and there is a very noticeable issue with chests dropping/ground loot being the same gun in specific areas.

Either the TTK is too low, or there are some guns/attachments that are way too overpowered. I got absolutely obliterated a couple of times by one enemy almost instantaneously while fully plated. Not even team-shot. I couldn't tell what weapon they were using, but I died instantly. Barely got to even see the damage direction indicators before I was dead.

Then, I've noticed that all of the chests in a certain area all drop the same weapon, but different variations. Say I land at the warehouse next to hospital and open 5 chests. Every single gun that pops out is a Kar, ranging from green to purple. Or if I land in promenade, all of the ground loot guns in a confined area are all shotguns. A couple buildings over, they are all LMG's, etc.

Then, not an issue with the game so much as my luck I guess, but 3 out of 5 games I've random queued in trios or quads, I've been the only person on my team when we go to drop. That's quite annoying. They don't even quit after they die and lose gulag, they just don't make it to the lobby after the pre-game lobby.

Other than that, I haven't had an issue with any hackers so far, the map does look nice with the updates, and my .85KD arse (on a GOOD day) is happy!

Promoting that ricochet can detect people who used camo unlock tools does not make me feel any better about a successful verdansk return. For all I care, the camo bros can have all of them, it doesn't affect me at all. The closer verdansk gets, the more I'm convinced this is going to shite the bed. I hope I'm wrong.

I will always vouch for Jawa.gg for buying a pre-built. It's a marketplace of PC builders from around the country and you can usually find a good deal in the price range you are looking for. The sellers I've interacted with are all responsive to any questions, so if you have any questions on how the PC will perform on specific games, send them a message. They should arrive assembled, so all you need to do is remove the packing material and plug in if you aren't into building it yourself.

Jawa.gg

Something like this?

This site has been useful to me in the past. It's a smaller marketplace of pc builders thats almost like a facebook marketplace. You can usually find a good deal on here. I bought my PC here 2 years ago and had a great experience with no issues. You can check their build components against a PC part builder site to see if it's cheaper to buy pre-made from them, or build yourself.

I know. And it really makes me wonder if Activison as a company is actively and knowingly involved in the production of the hacking software, or at least have deals in place to turn a blind eye to many cheat developers for a price. They are all about the money after all. Hell, I could definitely see them allowing some of these "streamers" to cheat as long as they are promoting and selling bundles in the store.

Or if they aren't "officially" involved, there could most certainly be a few employees involved with providing cheat developers with information to fly under the radar of "ricochet" or any other anti-cheat. I'm always amazed by how quickly hacks are developed for newly released titles, as well as how quickly they adapt to updates to an anti-cheat, but then again I don't know much about the technical side of it.

I'm definitely going to try it out, but I have ZERO expectations that they will make it what it should be.

Even if they knock it out of the park with Verdansk, they still have the whole hacking issue that has to be addressed. To regain and retain the player base they have lost, including myself, they can't focus on one or the other, they must do both.

100% truth. I am not a big Guinness fan, but I had to have one when in Dublin, and it was completely different.
