Call of Duty: Blackout was Activision’s way of getting into the battle royale scene. When the game first released, the game actually had a lot of good ideas with solid gameplay. Adding in zombies was a great option, especially when it was a feature people had been asking for in Fortnite for quite some t

Battle royale games have become one of the biggest and most popular genres in gaming. With most of them free to play, they offer an easy route for anyone to jump in, then monetize their success by having skins or extra goodies players can get for their avat
Lifeline is very much an empathetic soul who wants to help those in need and make a real difference in the world, but that doesn't mean she's a pushover. She is very sarcastic and callous which directly goes against the assumptions one makes about people who are as helpful as she
I get it - you're new to the game, and you don't know what weapon does what. So, naturally, you pick it up and fire off a few rounds to see what the baby can do. Please don't do this. Apex Legends places a huge emphasis on sound, and distant gunshots are a huge part of that. Needlessly firing off your gun not only wastes ammo, but it gives away your location to nearby enemy teams. Keep those bullets in that
The game does not however, support cross-play or cross-save in anyway which is one of the lacking features for a game that uses EA servers/accounts across all platforms. Should players unlock cosmetics on one platform, they cannot use them on the other. It's a wasted opportunity that partially holds the game back from truly taking the genre to the next level like Fortnite has in this resp
It's an unreliable tactic for a number of reasons. First of all, this game is incredibly fast. Players zip and dash around the map at all times. They're hard enough to hit at medium ranges. But when you're looking down a scope at these players from a far distance, it's incredibly hard to “lock on” to the enemy. There's also bullet drop in this game, which means you have to aim way higher at long distances, and lead your targets when they're mov
Highlights from the patch notes, shared by Respawn via Reddit , include a rundown of newcomer Octane’s abilities. The previously leaked Legend sports a Passive skill that lets him heal while not taking damage (+1 health every 2 seconds). Octane’s Tactical Stim increases his movement speed at the cost of health, but increases his resistance to slowdown attacks. Finally, Octane’s Ultimate lets him deploy jump pads launch characters across the
Speed hacking: We do currently have anti-speed hacking in Apex Legends, but it’s not being as effective as intended due to a bug that we believe we’ve identified and will be addressing in our next server update. Will provide ETA for it when I have it. Working to get it out A
Players love to execute each other. It's a nice way to rub your victory in their faces, and it looks cool to boot. But there's a time and a place for executions, and the middle of a gunfight is not one of them. You're better off shooting a downed enemy, because performing an execution leaves you wide open for attack. Plus, the animation is slow, so you're only wasting precious time by showing off. Save the execution for the last pla
(Image: https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/screen_kubrick/1574/15746725/4098604-22.jpg)Played strictly in three-player squads across one map (called “Kings Canyon”) that supports 60 players total with characters who each have their own unique abilities, right away Apex Legends differentiates itself from the competition. Its class (character) based gameplay that highlights the unique personalities and gear of each character is best compared to Overwatch , and the game also draws its monetization strategy from Blizzard's shooter as well. When it comes to its first-person gunplay however, Apex Legends plays more like Black Ops 4's Blackout mode but with more diverse gameplay and more layers of mechanics and control, including in the game's animati
While Hi-Rez is mostly known for SMITE , they have a few other games in the mix as well. Paladins is their attempt to get in to class-based shooters, and titanfall Cancellation Realm Royale is their attempt at getting into battle royale ga
H1Z1 is one of the newer battle royale games on the list, and it hasn’t made a huge impact . It’s clear that it is largely based on the popularity of PUBG , having a similar art style and structure. What rubbed many people the wrong way was that the original version of the game was a zombie-shooting exploration g
New players may feel the need to pick up everything - after all, you never know when a Skullpiercer will come in handy! The only thing is that certain items are only applicable with certain weapons, and that Skullpiercer is useless if you're using a Devotion and Peacekeeper. Picking up random items is a good way to needlessly clog your backpack, and worse, you could be inhibiting your teammate who DOES have a gun compatible with the Skullpiercer. Pay attention to what does w
