I just registered for a âDying Light: Bad Bloodâ Beta, which is probably Techlands take on the battle royale thing.
When did everyone start to call the classic âKing of the Hillâ mode like that? ⌠and can we please go back to that?
The only Battle Royale there shall be is this:

A cool BR to look out for is ROE ( Ring of Elysium) heard about this game thanks to Deadmau5 early this year when he streamed it, Itâs been pretty fun testing out the east asain version of the game off and on and if it stays Free to play once it launches on steam it might have the power to over take PUBG.

basically 100% percent pubg clone, but better optimized, lol

Kinda, The only thing different is this new Winter mode for ROE where there could be up to four winners per a match, but they have to make it to the rescue heli before the storm hits.

Right now thereâs no doubt in my mind that COD is winning this battle atm; this is the first truly good (and optimized) BR game i think
ofc that goes for Fortnite too, but to me 3-rd person doesnât rly count; for me itâs all about FPS (+ i rly dislike bloom, thatâs just a shitty mechanic for a shooter, and i never rly got into it cuz i dislike the building mechanic too in fact)

But is COD really a BR studio though? I ask because the sudden grab for BR for many studios was put all the eggs into the basket, but with COD it was kind of a 'hey, lets add this new game-mode because âZombies, Multiplayer and Campaignâ (to quote the back matter on black ops 2) isnât that difficult for us to make at this point. Also, COD doesnât really âwinâ anything in my book, it just has so much inertia in sales and buying base (I wouldnât necessarily say fanbase) that whatever it does seems to be successfulâŚ

I made this thread and to me this includes all gaming studios who produce a BR game; most of these studios made other games before they attempted BR so otherwise it could be argued that close to none are truly BR-studios
Iâm just saying this is hands-down the best BR atm (according to me), and they obviously didnât just throw it in, they actually adapted certain mechanics for this mode and i think they nailed it; im quite surprised itâs so well-optimized for pc and such a high player count (compared to what they usually deal with) as well

Fair points, I was just wondering because COD has always been on a class of its own⌠The release of the game, and its ensuing market dominance seems to have changed the way other games are released and COD hasnât seemed to be an innovator in the field of mechanics/market trends, but rather simply aping things (scummy business practices aside) other companies did well⌠They grew more and more Sci-fi like HALO, gears of war etc. until Battlefield went back to basics, then seeing how well that worked for them they copied that. I guess I am saying that COD is now a fairly risk averse property when it comes to formula.
And again, other than their competition with the usual suspects (battlefield, and maybe some other âAAAâ shooters) COD is an adult at the kids table when it comes to sales and other factors. I guess I was just checking what the criterion was for saying they were âWinningâ the BR.
Finally: a point of clarification. What did you mean by:
Because I tend to think that COD games have fairly enormous playerbases (at least at launch/beta stage, and especially when a new gimmick is introduced so players can ensure they have a competitive edge when the game goes live)

I meant the player count/map, they usually have like, what? 10-12 players? and now they have 88 and i heard it will become 100, and it works rly well and is more optimized in its beta than PUBG after all this time
as for everything else u said, i agree 100%; COD has been dead to me ever since the first BO, and iâve grown tired of BF and Star Wars BF too, so i guess iâm done with the genre, but i would love to get this COD only and just for its BR mode, and sadly i cant cuz theyâre no longer on Steam now, lol

So? I donât see a problem with battle.net especially when you can add it to steam anyway and launch it from there

I buy most games at discounted prices (from Steam sales), but Iâve also bought several at full price (gta V and Kindom Come at $60, for example)
I also have $204 steam wallet right now, and my 2916 owned items are worth a few hundred $ too (according to an estimate by OPskins a few months ago it was $700, but i take that with a big grain of salt)
Mind you, I only once bought a $20 steam wallet card just to get started and to gain access to the Steam marketplace
