Crane in Junk Junction has no collision. Be careful.
Edit: Real late to the party on this. I just found it exploring and hadn't looked around online at all today.

This. So much this lol.Just had a third place finish that hurt my heart.
also lol
I did a duos with a friend about an hour ago and I think over half the server landed in here. It was a bloodbath lol.
I'm happy about the GL. I'm surgical with it, but the snowball launcher was ass. Snowballs were just too floaty.

It's the little things that make me love this game the most.

A staggering improvement.
Firstly, it looks amazing. Secondly, it runs very well. I'm not fighting against the game anymore. Every single one on one I've had, I don't feel like the game is slowing down. I would be very interested to see how it runs with the cap off. I turned it off for a few minutes and it seemed much better, but I don't want dips that effect the gameplay.

Tilted towers is really fun to drop in but the new ceiling/wall spike traps (which I hated before) make this place such a pain to traverse. I have to slowly check each surface of the many rooms because the game has so many traps in this particular area ( I once saw 3 on the roofs alone when dropping in). Can you sprint past these without getting hit? I think I saw someone do that but haven't tried myself.
Anyone else having trouble with matchmaking right now?
Nevermind just got in. That was weird.

Tilted Tower is peak perfection. It's what was sorely lacking in the POIs. Just a vertical, daunting city with lots of floors and tight corners.
It's absolutely wonderful. A little too wonderful, to the point that it's a clear fan favourite, and other places (Like Wailing Woods and the Moisty Mire) lack in comparison to the quality of Tilted Towers.
I really hope we see more designs like this for a new map.

The thing is, you could get away with a much smaller map if you had more Tower type gameplay.
Man, I really, REALLY, wish I could switch the crouch and building buttons while using the combat pro scheme. Love it otherwise, but so many times I go to crouch and open my build menu instead. Sigh.
This feels great on PS4 Pro. A little bit more pop-in maybe? Definitely some iffy textures here and there with the new asset streaming but the framerate is much much more consistent when uncapped. Input lag feels better too.
Just played the game for the first time today. I am hooked, I don't normally play multiplayer shooters but this game is fun. I did pretty well for my first time today, I came in 8th one match and 18th in another match. I really like the building system and that the shooting is fun.
First 2 games on the new map were wins!
Haunted Hills is a lot more disappointing than the original concept. Looked like it could have been a lot better with the bridge in between and the little lake down below. The amount of loot there is also rather small. Thank god nobody else landed there with me.

Been playing since launch but once again wanna echo the sentiment regarding how intense this is. God that very last circle will give someone a heart attack.
I feel like this feeling only happens with a couple games every generation. Close matches in Halo 3, the last survivor in CoD4 Snd. Now R6 Siege and Fortnite. Whewwwwww.

So I'm warming more up to the game but I still can't get over how shotgun focused it is.
My deaths are 10 to 1 by shotguns by far.

I mean how close are you during these fights? It's either that or the blue pistol.
The bushes look a bit naked.
My first game after the servers went live i landed in Haunted Hills and went through Pleasant Park, i noticed the new scoreboard there and took a screenshot. I was 100% sure it was going to work, but there was a bit too much activity in the area to test it. Awesome though.
Its improved for sure, but its still very variable and probably not super viable for most players preferences.
Players can give their positions away really easy with footsteps and building, try not to let them close the gap on you and don't position yourself in a place where they'd have the advantage. My close range isn't strong in this game, so i try to play to my strengths and keep people at a distance so i can use AR's and silenced pistols.
Yea.. Looks awful now :/
IMO bush is a gimmick item that definitely loses it's charm without the holiday lights. Without the goofiness of the lights on top it becomes just an item I entirely disregard when getting it out of a chest... During the holiday event at least I had the occasional "you know what.. I'm down for some goofy christmas light bush shenanigans..."
So yea I feel like the bush should be holiday event exclusive. I mentioned before but I would totally love if they came up with enough gimmick items to just have different items rotating in and out of the loot pool based on whatever event was currently ongoing.
Its really rare i use the bush, but it feels like they've lowered the drop rate on enough that i do genuinely consider it every time i come across it, or at least hanging on to it for awhile and seeing. Not really out of any strategic advantage but just out of variety. It does pair so damn well with the silenced pistols too for some hilarious plays, like guarding this supply drop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwJFoE4et9I. I potatoed all my first shots and managed to get off a quick sneaky reload before they realized where i was.
New map is fine.
Just still waiting on the new weapon system for this game to be worth sinking considerable hours into.

Shotguns are pretty much your bread and butter in this game. Someone snuck up on you? Shotgun battle. Someone use ramps to push up close to you? Shotgun battle. Fighting in close quarters in the beginning of the game because you dropped into a town? Shotgun battle.
This is why the strongest setup right now is just to forego another weapon in order to run 2 pump shotguns at the same time.
I love the new map. While you mofuckas are dropping in on the left side of the map I'm getting all the loot to myself on the right. Tonight finna be a breeze.
Also..I really don't know how I feel bout the new ballistics system. I feel it's the best it's been.

I got 2 of my 3 wins tonight by dropping to the area north of Tomato Town. Then I made my way south to Salty and nobody looted that either. It was crazy.
That said, the left side is just so much more enjoyable to run around and explore right now. Though I do really like the changes they made to the area around Moisty Mire. That's a fantastic little zone now. Looks fantastic.
It isn't implemented yet so nobody knows how they feel :P
I'm not totally sure about the new shooting model. Having increased recoil at the cost of no bloom and damage drop off sounds excellent for most games, but when we have such wide open vistas and potential for long distance encounters having so many hitscan weapons that have pinpoint accuracy under controlled fire really doesn't sound a lot of fun, keeping in mind that bloom is only ever an issue with a low grade weapon or when using it outside of its ideal firing range. With current systems skill is still the determining factor of who wins the vast majority of encounters.
Here is some footage of the new shooting model in action from when they accidentally enabled it back in December - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9NoYKceCDQ. Keeping in mind its a work in progress and may be different when we see it. If its an improvement, i'll totally be on board, i'm just not yet convinced it is with how the game flows.
Someone posted a YouTube link of how it is. Whether it's legit or not, I really don't know. lol. I just can't deal with anymore RNG.
No, it just looks ridiculous and makes gunfights super awkward. Would much rather see strafing with a more heavy penalty for bunny hopping.
Well, the version that was accidentally deployed is definitely subject to change. But yeah, I welcome the new system whenever it happens. It will be a massive adjustment, but hopefully for the best. I just worry about hitscan guns over such massive distances. I've never played a game with massive maps that used hitscan before.
Check my post above for a video :).
Yeah, thats why i'm not totally convinced it'll actually improve how enjoyable the game is to play. But, i am more than happy to try it and make a proper judgement. I am expecting it to be quite divisive however. Epic have been very mum on this for the past month, I do wonder if their internal testing went poorly and they've perhaps changed their minds, though this is complete conjecture on my part.

Idk man. There's something about Fortnite that has a charm to it that I wasn't surprised to see people Carlton dancing or bunny hopping during firefights. Fortnite will always have that goofy aspect to it. But I have gotten away with just straight up strafing during shotty battles instead of jumping. Halo has treated me well.
I don't bunny hop very often and wouldn't be opposed to them making it more of a disadvantageous play but i still have a very positive k/d and win my fair share of matches. Its something you can deal with, as they're going to be moving in a predictable arc.
OMG I just came in 2nd first time. Exhilirating but at the same time so frustrating. I'm over it now but in the moment it was devastating.
Had 3 kills, built a nice tower on top of the lake as the circle got to its smallest.
Other player parachutes to the top of my tower and I start spamming my shotgun.
4 shots at close range somehow only took out their 100% shield. I had 50% shield, full health.
Game is fun but damn, that was a real come down. Idk if I want to come that close again only to lose lol. I really thought I had it.

Bloom is one of the worst mechanics in any shooter in my opinion. The damage is also much lower which this game has needed for a while.
No more catching RNG headshots for 80 damage is going to be a godsend.
I probably had 10 second place finishes before I got my first win.
Recoil systems can also have people scoring random lucky headshots, there is also damage drop off at range, its not just lower damage.
I kind of feel like chests shouldn't drop common weapons.

Heh. This guy had me dead and I needed 1 more SMG kill so I just went YOLO and melted him :)
Sometimes that gun is fantastic.
