Thanks for the link, that was a very cool and interesting read. Super hyped for new maps!
No Problem, I’m also hyped.
I think the weapon tier system is a step in the right direction nothing was worst than having a enemy team all with shotguns because they all knew the timer and your teammates are to bad to catch on so you continued to get slammed.

I agree with this statement lol
So quick question, are all of the arena maps going to be asymmetrical and will there be vehicles in arena?

Vehicles will probably only be in BTB and Warzone

gross
Good that common weapons spawn faster.
The second tier seems a bit weird considering power weapons constantly respawn but these could theoretically be locked out for an entire match, but alright.
The Magnum ‘buff’ seems more like a nerf. I just don’t see the point in buffing the damage if the shots to kill remain the same.

They said that means your shots count more and you can’t afford to miss, therefore increasing the skill needed to use it.

Let me get this straight: So… If I grab the shotgun and use it successfully for a few minutes and have one shell left, if I run to shotgun spawn fire off the shell, drop shotty for something else, a new shotgun will spawn right then and there?

Pretty sure it’s a 4 shot kill now and it wasn’t a 4 shot in the beta.

Yes. But it’s not an issue. Because 1) everyone will know that weapon spawn spot eventually meaning it’s going to be a contested area and 2) the point of this change is to control how many is on the map. even if your team held the shotgun spawn the entire game only one shotgun will be in play at all times.
Don’t get all the -Yoink- about the pistol…first they brag about it being buffed and “the best since CE” and now it turns out they actually nerfed it…thats -Yoinking!- stupid…
Judging by to some Warzone gameplay it is still a 5sk, paired with slower fireing speed makes it a worse weapon and not a buffed one!
Sure they upped the damage but since it’s still a 5sk, that means the time between a perfect kill and a normal kill is shorter now so it’s not really more skillfull but rather the opposite…

This is pretty much a joke. “We didn’t want to start them with something lame” so we gave them the all randomized AR, complete with beat down finishes. Keep the precision weapons as starters, where they belong.
Are we sure the pistol is still 5sk? Every gameplay I’ve seen seemed to have a noticeable 4sk.
If anyone missed it there’s some game play of this map from Conan’s channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=roRGPI1PwNQ

Reddit says it’s 5sk

Everyone I know is saying it’s a 5sk that now kills in less bodyshots.
Which to me is ultimately pointless.
Am I the only who is a bit hyped for those unrevealed tier 3 power weapons?
