    Thank god someone said what i have been thinking. Im not a 4 teams of 3 player, power shift is the only mode i play. I have tried the other modes but they are not my cup of tea. I want too see more 5v5 modes. Mainly i want to see a "hard point" style of game mode. Just a single capture point that randomly jumps around the map, that with this destruction would make every round feel different.

    Here since Dirty Bomb! I enjoyed The Finals a tremendous amount during the open beta and the first few weeks of season 1, but the average skill balooned quickly and the game lost the creative and casual nature it had in the early days. Power Shift feels like Dirty Bomb and brought back my love for The Finals! I think I've played maybe 3 or 4 matches since season 2 started that wasn't Power Shift.

    Uncustomizable weapons are a good thing. I want to die to an mp5 and say “ah he got me with an mp5” not die to a “Ryker grip holo sight collapsible stock extended mag hollow point mp5” learn your gun and how to play it. Customizing guns in cod have a negative effect on the game. It was cool when you got one attachment, but that game didn’t have light medium and heavy classes with different unique special abilities plus gadgets that support you role on the team as your selected play style. Gun customization would ruin the customization we already have. Learn your gun.

    New mode is pretty good, I agree. Made me wanna play again. Still, for me, nothing beats the gunplay feel of DB. Wish the hip fire was more accurate here. Finding myself relying on it sometimes when I shouldn't. Biggest beef I have is audio and indicator for getting shot. Enemy footsteps should be louder. Not counter strike loud, but loud enough so that I hear them if they are really close. Also enemy gunfire should be louder - the amount of times I hear shots behind me and be like "ok, thats far, it does not need my immediate attention", only to get flatlined because they are actually super close. And finally - getting hit - I take different actions based on my hp. If I feel I'm loosing a fight, I'm gonna bolt it. But in this game I have a hard time getting a feel for how badly I am injured. And I don't have time to look at my hp while in a gunfight. Bugs here and there, some balancing needed, but overall its a great game.

  • @LCTRgames
    @LCTRgames3 ай бұрын

    I really wish there was a way to get better hip fire too, think a weapon attachment system would be a great addition. Maybe give much slower ADS speed for better hf, etc. Damage indicator is an interesting one, didn't think I agreed with you until I thought about it and looked at some footage back. Think the only real times I can evaluate whether I want to bolt is when I can see the threat on-screen. So yea, additional indicators or maybe some centralised hud showing hp would be good.

    RTCW ET was my first real addiction, I still wonder why not more other games use(d) a more similar formula, I really loved the teamwork and the varied multi stage objective gameplay that game offered, and its voice call-outs are still fresh on my brain, they enriched the gameplay so much "Ja ha" "Wunderbar" "Good game" "Hallo" "I'm a field ops" "'Incoming" "Taking fire" "I need a medic" "We need an engineer" "Disarm the objective" ..., whole conversations could be had. DB was/is quite similar, has more enjoyable gunplay and is a lot of fun, but I did miss the larger more casual nature of ET a bit, and the mods, the progression, the community built maps, also the voice callouts were disappointingly watered down/underused in comparison.

    been here since the db days :) and been playing the finals as my main shooter since open beta! i loved it when it launched and couldnt really put down, but since power shift came out ive been playing that mode about 90% of the time. it feels like the overwatch version of push or whatever it was called but done right. devs also have confirmed they will push more maps to power shift, so thats probably next for the mode. yes, new routes would be cool and also i do hope that there will be a ranked mode for power shift :) main mode can be frustrating, especially when youre about move to next round (if youre playing ranked) but your cashout gets stolen in the last second, i absolutely cannot stand that, especially if we've been fighting off one team and the other one just comes in last second and takes it. hopefully they can make some adjustments going forward to that!

  • @LCTRgames

    Yep, agree with all that - the cashout mode just seems to generate those sort of clustered fights that I don't tend to enjoy. I like the chaos normally in games, but I've learned I prefer it to also have rough front-lines so you're not looking 360-degress the whole time waiting to get 3rd-partied.

Hope they do a Soviet Forces rework next, since there's a few things that need improvement over there.

    I've been playing HLL for roughly 2 months. Love the game and the grind of the full length matches. I am one of those older(58) gamers with a full time job and the long matches can be rough if I get a late start playing. Skirmish is great for a quick games during the work week. Another advantage I find is that I can learn the more involved roles in a less chaotic setting. I think skirmish would be a good place for beginners to start learning the game. The only negative for me is the lack of maps for skirmish.
