I was tired and I'd been killing french players for a while >_>

The HONHONHON had infected me.

Also ayy lmao, prior to one exceptionally poor game right at the end I was in the top 150 players globally for KDR <.<
Now it's only the top 200 ;_________;

I'm going to be that person but it's sad that this game is the exact same concept as the 1918 mod for BF 1942. They're both nothing more than texture packs with tweaked gameplay. 1918 plays like a different game but it's still a mod for 1942. This game is just a cops and rubbers skin for BF4 just like how 1918 have different skins for the things in 1942.

There is quite a bit more to it than that, there are a lot of unique assets that have been created for the game, not just textures painted over BF4 stuff. Shit like leaning out of vehicles or your aim being steady whilst doing so isn't a BF4 thing. The full release is a lot more than just a reskin, which is what the original alpha/beta thing was back in 2014 summer.

This post was sponsored by EA Ronku as a part of the forum shill and misdirection program. Preorder Hardline or I'll kill this baby. Oh uh... buy it even. The baby is dead anyway.

So!

Hardline arrived in the post this morning and I can say without shame that I've spent the last 12 hours playing it pretty much non-stop. I thought I'd just post my honest two cents about the game here because raisins (EA Shill).

Singleplayer
I wasn't expecting their 'episodic story' to be quite so literal <.<
You've got 10 episodes to play through, a bit like a season of CSI but where michael bay and rambo are teaming up with solid snake. It's got a few mildly amusing jokes and some vaguely recognisable actors (That republican majority leader from HoC for examplé)
The plotwists so far have all been as clear as can be but maybe that's because I've watched a lot of cop shows (who hasn't though?) but altogether it's interesting enough. The stealth mode is kind of lackluster for me, but ehh I can see the appeal as I think it's done fairly well. I'm just more of a 'kill em all and let god sort em out' person >_>
You get a lot more customisation than in the BF4 story, by fucking miles. None of this predetermined bollocks.
One thing I've noticed is that the lip synching is subpar and occasionally they are talking straight up by telepathy.

Multiplayer
Chaotic clusterfuck of the best kind.
I thought the higher TTK would make it very shit, but it feels fairly similar to BF4 honestly. You can shoot a guy and he'll die quickly enough but of course the PDW rape train has no breaks.
RPGs are so stronk it's not even funny, I think brute mentioned this but yeah you can spawn with them and basically just fuck up an entire round of hotwire solo.
I haven't seen the M16a3 as much as I'd feared, which is good because you should ram it up your urethra if you shitbucket with it like lelvelcap. Use a real man's gun, like the zipline.
Battlepacks are better but also worse, they broke one of the values I think for the boost ratio as I've opened about 20 today and not a single attachment voucher. So I hope that gets fixed.

General thoughts
It's a very fun game, the extra time they took to make it has paid off and the game is an absolute blast. It's pretty newb friendly too and is a much more casual shooter than BF4 so the two kind of complement each other nicely. You have a crazy shooter with lots of splosions but without the CodKids and you have a large scale war game that's in the middle ground between CKs and Armafegs <_<

overall I r8 it 9/11 so far.
Allah Akbar.

Probably Transhumanism, not everyone takes kindly to the revelation that walking sacks of meat are inferior vessels for the mind.

but what about the hedonic treadmill

will we ever truly be satisfied, even if trashumanism becomes a reality?

I hope not <.<

We can always be better, not being satisfied is what drives the species to improve >.>
If we last long enough, we'll (the species) hopefully achieve apotheosis <_____<

Oh cool, I've just been steadily flipping shit so I should be at about 1mil now <.<
All with next to no playtime/effort e.e

Yay!

More shitposting!!

Nah this one is halal enough because the solar eclipse is starting shortly <.<

My sympathies zesty, I only have a pair of sunglasses to hand so I'm just going to have to look at the shit around the eclipse rather than right at it like a retart.

Your eyes are strong enough; just stare at the sun, I mean, why not? You do realize that it's like the sun's normal power, but reduced by 90%, right? Seriously, the damages would be minor if not nonexistent.

lol

I'm a cautious fellow and I value my eyes pretty much more than any other sense I have, so I'm not going to risk them to get a look at a pretty eclipse. My aunt (I think it was her, might have been another relative) has had to have eye surgery because of solar burns on the back of the eye. I'd rather not have to have someone play Dead Space on my eyeballs if I can avoid it.

Yay!

PSYOPs is easily one of the best tactics we have against insurgency. The Battle of Fallujah is an awesome, and sometimes hilarious, example. Prior to the invasion, they used flares and loudspeakers at night to prevent the insurgents from sleeping. To lure insurgents out, they played mocking messages ("you fight like girls", laughter, etc.) over loudspeakers; anyone that stepped outside was shot immediately by snipers. They played fake insurgent calls for surrender to get them to lay down their guns (and then they'd be shot), white phosphorous attacks to demoralize fighters, etc.

white phosphorous attacks to demoralize fighters

I know it's effective as all hell, but I really don't think we should still be using that stuff >_>

It undermines the whole 'We are right' stance when it comes to looking for WMDs and giving other countries shit for chemical weapons stockpiles when NATO/USA(UK?) uses WP like that.

It's not actually classified as a chemical weapon but as an incendiary. It was used to drive out insurgents from fortified positions that their artillery couldn't penetrate. I'm not a particular fan of its use but it does have legitimate applications, grisly though they might be.

Ah I see, well it's still damn near the nastiest stuff that is 'legal' in warfare (That I can think of) <.<

mr. psyackbar should have gotten it

I declined in favour of LC <.<

So then besides giving your mods new titles are you ever going to do anything about DigitalIzesty? He constantly makes spam threads that gets locked and the only thing you do about it are lock his threads. 

Yes, we are <.<
He'll be given fair warning via a PM soon enough, after that it's going to be open season on zestyposting.

Hive creatures work differently to other organisms, the queen is the source of the evolution and the dispensible drones used to defend the hive and the queen don't matter in terms of evolution <.<
