I got 1000 ($10) of the premium currency, and some bonus cosmetics for having ea access. Signing up 2 days ago for $1 (for anthem), seems like a pretty good deal in retrospect.

Can someone briefly explain the revive system and how it differs from picking someone up when they're bleeding out? What are the "rules?"

You can revive when they are bleeding out, but if they are 'eliminated', you can then retrieve their 'card' and bring them to one of the random green respawn stations where you can bring them back to life. It's brilliant, and gives you hope if you are eliminated early in a squad.

The double tap ping for enemy location is so excellent. No more "there's a guy at 210 at the end of the building... no the other building!" It's just boom, right there. I did have to switch it off the middle mouse though, because double clicking that was really hard for me. I might just put the "enemy spotted" command on a dedicated button.

I played a few games. Got a few kills.

Don't really like the jumbled together art style.

The gameplay is good, but I think I liked Titanfall more.

Not really a game for me, ultimately. No harm, no foul.

Uninstalled.

Can't run Apex on my PS4. 😕 Get the same error whenever I try to start from the title screen: "Oops! Something went wrong, please try again later. [105]"

2 wins out of about 10 games. I actually like this a bit more than Blackout. I'm really digging the squad focused play and the easy one button ping system, which means playing with randoms (the only way I play) is actually quite doable.

I think more weapons need to spawn in areas. Because this is mainly a squad game I feel like there isn't a whole lot of weapons to go around for the first couple of rounds.

It's kind of off-putting that there's no solo mode, but I kind of get why with the great quick chat/communication system. That doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer a solo mode.

I'm having a lot of fun. Seems like it's really polished and I like the team based gameplay. Gonna take me a while to get used to each Hero's special abilities effectively.

This seems like it will be a good game for my group of friends who play tons of Overwatch/PUBG.

Dunno if it's just me but god damn this game has the most boring art direction I've seen in recent times.

Gameplay seems okay maybe. Probably not for me though. Seems a little hard to see people too

The first thing that needs to be sorted is the ammo/magazines and the TTK. I shouldn't be able to unload 16 rounds of a Flatline into someone and get killed because they didn't down them and I needed to reload. Either the magazine sizes go up and ammo is removed from inventory slots or the TTK needs to be adjusted to fit the scarcity.

I would say the art direction is less boring that inconsistent and jumbled. The different areas of the island seem like a copy paste job and the character designs don't really mesh well with the world.

Yeah, it's surprisingly hard to see non-teammates.

Thanks!

Do you pick up this "card" off their corpse, or is it automatically added to teammates' inventory?

Game is great so far but it has some weird performance issues. I'm pulling weirdly inconsistent framerates for a Source game on a 8700k/1060... kinda hovers around 50ish most of the time.

1. Needs solo mode. Yeah, yeah, teamwork yadda yadda. Sometimes I really don't want to be reliant on random gibbering idiots or having to organize friends.

2. Needs a practice mode, so I can figure out abilities and whatnot. It's no fun going up against abilities you don't understand while using abilities you don't know the limitations of. How the holy flying fuck is this not a standard feature?

Played the Training segment, and one match where I only found SMGs(yeah, my luck continues in this game with picking up shitty weapons). Will have to give this a couple more tries, but with friends this time.

I was so happy when I saw there is a Training mode, but it's just a Tutorial for one character...

I usually avoid squads in games like this, is it still enjoyable if I'm playing with no voice chat ?

Surprised they didn't go with unlimited ammo like with past TF games.

Yeah this is for sure the biggest issue right now. I haven't run out of ammo this much in a multiplayer shooter in, well, ever.

Voice chat will always help but the ping system in this game is revolutionary -- the best feature by far. You can convey an incredible amount of info just with the pings.

Agreed. It feels like I've spent more time reloading than anything else. You just fly through the mag.

My squadmate went into a room with a couple guys. Grappled to a high entrance, came in, cleaned house, and respawnes my teammate.

Respawning people feels gooood.

Submachine guns don't feel good. Against a high level shield I don't think you can fight them alone with it.

On PC the "enemy" ping is also on the F key ny default. Double-clicking my crappy mouse wheel is a no go for sure.
