Iirc they hated it because their play style was completely incompatible.
Yeah that random setup sounds abysmal, we actually have a regular mate of a mate who plays the sound thru his tv, he can’t hear loot boxes or footsteps, can’t aim either but his stats pull us down on SBMM so he does have some utility.
I had a go at season 4 and found the bike overwhelming, I’d love to get back into the game but the time requirements and late nights are too much for me now. The world war warzone that’s upcoming in winter might be irresistible mind you.
boisb-
Gaming the matchmaking - I like it!
I have played with people like that though - so obvious when they can't hear things, makes you realise how much of the game experience is sound.
Will be interesting where Warzone goes in the coming years, mixing it up so some games are current period, some are WW2 would be interesting (obv they'd have to keep the load-outs separate). Would be nice to have a change of scenery and guns but then also be able to use the modern ones sometimes too!
Lw.
Certainly made a difference from my usual random teammates of an Italian guy having an argument with his girlfriend & the other one that has their game sound coming out of their TV so their mic is picking it up & retransmitting to the rest of us, both of whom then quit as soon as they inevitably lose their gulag so I have to finish the game 1v3, though at least in peace.
I've only ever seen that hardcore mode once - it was fun though very difficult! Would be good to see them do a private lobbies tournament of that!
