And honestly the difficulty spikes feel arbitrary past a certain point, like the game just throws more enemies instead of smarter ones to justify the harder tiers

NovaRex

Same climb w my squad tbh, spikes get rough but we push thru anyway
Rae_1990

My roommate got obsessed with the stratagem combos while I just wanted to shoot bugs, we balanced each other out somehow.

This game climbing the way it has in such a short time is honestly amazing to watch, every duel feels like a chance for it to prove itself again and I'm here for every single one!!

meza_dario

La escalada que mencionas... la vivimos igual con mi grupo, cada duelo nuevo lo comentamos como si fuera un partido de verdad.

Sur PS5 j'ai encore des chutes de frames pendant les extractions chargées, l'ascension au classement ne corrige pas ça.

Frente a Half-Life 2 la comparación es injusta, son experiencias completamente distintas en ritmo y enfoque.

It handles cooperative chaos better than Far Cry 5 ever tried to, but it lacks any real single player identity to fall back on

Cosmo_Corrales

Lo mismo me pasó, el caos cooperativo brilla mucho pero en solitario se siente vacío, sin nada que lo sostenga.

I get the point on co-op but calling it a total loss on identity feels harsh for what it offers solo.

Comparado con Far Cry 5, este exige mas equipo

166 duels and still climbing steadily, that consistency says more about it than any single win streak would

Started playing it with two coworkers during lunch breaks, became our weird little ritual for a while.
harber_cordia

Played it mostly on weeknights with my brother after work, nothing fancy, just two of us dropping in and out.

jugué con mi hermano varias noches seguidas, la respuesta de las armas se sentia solida incluso en las misiones mas simples

Ally_1998

Replying to Álvaro_72

Solid weapon feel, brothers agree too.

DavidRider

Me parece que esas sesiones cortas entre hermanos son las que mejor representan el juego, o al menos a mi me lo parecio siempre

wrodarte

Con hermanos suena bien, pero en partidas publicas el caos del fuego amigo se come cualquier plan estrategico.

And no, 258th still undersells it. The friendly fire chaos gets old fast once the novelty wears off.
Kuphal99

Squadded up with three randoms one night and we wiped so hard on a bug mission that we all just started laughing instead of raging, it was suppose to be strategic but it turned into chaos and honestly 258th feels generous for how often the friendly fire ruins runs

ArcadeKnight

Con lo del fuego amigo... alguien realmente termina misiones limpias sin bajas propias?
Matteo_2007

The gunplay has real weight to it and the stratagem call ins still feel satisfying every single time, even the menu for choosing loadouts is smooth

Justina_31

I hear the gunplay praise but my duo sessions were full of stray orbital strikes wiping us both, the weight is there but the chaos undercuts it more than people admit

suzanne16

Which menu are you talking about exactly, the loadout screen or the stratagem wheel, because those feel pretty different to me

Peltier8

Replying to suzanne16

Mon frère aussi confondait toujours les deux menus au début, ça nous a coûté plus d'une mission ratée.

Replying to Justina_31

fair point, though the chaos is kind of why my group keeps coming back honestly
Bayer15

I only get an hour or two a week these days but even in short bursts the extraction runs feel tense, though I never touch the harder difficulties solo

bayer_jennings

Same here, short bursts work fine. Difficulty holds up even solo for me.

IronPilot

Same here honestly, short sessions are all I manage too, and somehow the extraction always ends up more stressful than it should be...

ElainaPilot

Short sessions were my norm too, and yet somehow this thing keeps climbing the ranks despite everyone saying they barely have time for it
FrameLegend2010

Frente a Call of Duty este juego gana en cooperacion real, pero en solitario se siente mucho mas flojo y ahi es donde pierde terreno para mi
ÁngelesSamurai

Comparado con Far Cry 5, este planea mas en equipo, aquel te dejaba resolver todo solo sin depender de nadie
Coop_Ferrer

Comparado con Half-Life 2 este juego vive del caos entre amigos mientras que aquel vivia de un diseño mas cerrado y calculado, los dos funcionan pero por razones opuestas
GlitchPilot

Un pote et moi on s'est fait toute une soirée dessus, on devait avoir prévu une heure et on a fini à trois heures du matin sans s'en rendre compte, le pire c'est qu'on a raté la moitié des objectifs à cause du fameux tir ami
