Can you go first person in this?
Otherwise, I don’t get it… Why??? Why the **** do I need to see the back of my character? It constantly blocks a portion of my front facing visibility, possible targets will always be obscured unless I move my reticule around like a palsy sufferer. And apparently (with this game), I need to always be able to look at how freakin tight my skinny jeans are.
… just… stupid. Bad, 90’s console games brought this **** in… I’m convinced of it…
Yes, yes you can. Now breath.
LOL. This was funny.
>not liking dat a$$
What is wrong with you?
Honest question,
Does this game have potential for longevity or is it another Flavor of the month gametype.
I have Arma 3 and I have not tried the Exile and or Battlegrounds mod for it.
flavor of the month. a bunch of big youtube “stars” were paid to shill for it and they big alot of viral marketing
I couldn’t disagree more
Yes a lot of the pro Counterstrike community has been playing it and better yet ENJOYING it. most of whom make A LOT more playing CS then being “paid” to play PUBG as you accuse them of
Why is it when a game has beta that is transparent with no NDA, and listens to its player base its seen as buying youtubers and streamers
again a lot of the CS community has been loving this game, Virtus Pro (the 2nd best CS team in the world) SUCKED terrible in this past weekends Starseries (they where a shoe in for at least 2nd place, $50k) because they where playing PUBG instead of practicing. Surely they where paid less then that to play PUBG :/
its better then h1z1 and looks better then arma 3 br.h1z1 really started to suck when they put in crafting in the king of the kill.the only way to win is have more helmets then the other player..lol.
h1z1 fell pretty hard when they did that imo.
hell has frozen over, I agree with HVD
really wow!!!! hell must have frozen over..lol
but that game sucks…..
Better run fanboys are coming your way.
apparently it doesn’t
I quite in enjoy it, instead of all the console crap that’s been coming out of late
you should be happy when a PC EXCLUSIVE and a PC EXCLUSIVE GENRE does well but NOOOOO its early access (and they are working with the community to improve it) and they’re paying people to play it
if game is good we will buy it, you don’t need to protect with denuvo bull***.
