WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.860
Good afternoon. Afternoon. Battlefield stuff.

00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:16.160
Battlefield 6. Episode 152. Oh, fuck. They've

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:21.420
announced, come out today, I believe, the XP

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:28.100
nerf, boost, buff thingy by like 40%. Something

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:32.100
like that. 10%, 40%, something else. Yeah, and

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.759
it's being backdated and all. 40 % for dailies,

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:39.759
10 % just overall. So when I open up Battlefield

00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.500
after this pod, I should level up a load of stuff.

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.719
Have you played much of it? I can't get off of

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.000
it. Yeah, I played it for about 15, 20 hours.

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:51.719
I can't get off of it. You were playing a campaign

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.200
the other day, weren't you? Finished the campaign.

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:55.420
I didn't bother. Jumped into it. Campaign's good.

00:00:56.730 --> 00:00:59.049
Terrible reviews. You've got like fours and fives.

00:00:59.149 --> 00:01:01.409
I must be mad. The campaign's good. I liked it.

00:01:01.490 --> 00:01:04.049
Left on a little cliffhanger. It's only like

00:01:04.049 --> 00:01:08.689
five or six hours. It's worth doing. Yeah, man.

00:01:08.909 --> 00:01:13.170
War. What's your preferred game mode that you

00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:16.209
play? Conquest. Conquest only. I like Conquest.

00:01:16.269 --> 00:01:19.409
I do all -out warfare as well. I like escalation.

00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:23.500
I don't like the small... the small maps. That's

00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:24.780
not what Battlefield's about, man. I don't want

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:27.480
that. I want large -scale warfare. Now, here

00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.959
is the nitty -gritty that really shows someone's

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.019
personality because I have feelings and opinions

00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:38.780
on all of them. What are you playing as? Engineer

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:43.459
and recon. Yes! Fuck the recon bit off. No, because

00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:45.760
I'm pretty good at sniping in that game because

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:51.659
I've cheated. I've cheated. I'll tell you how.

00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:57.700
Go on. You know, you know, on all the snipers,

00:01:57.700 --> 00:01:59.239
I presume it's on all of them, you have the zero

00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.319
in distance. Yeah. So you can get it up, bang

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.480
on the headshot. Yeah. I just remapped the zero

00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.639
in distance onto the shoot button and it does

00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.680
it automatically. So if I'm aiming at your head

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:16.259
and I press shoot, it's auto, it's zeroed in

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:18.319
before the bullet's fired. So all I have to do

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.840
is aim at your head. That's amazing. It's cheating,

00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:26.319
really. Is it cheating or is it just using the

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.800
game? It's just smart, isn't it? Yeah. Just a

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.960
smarty pants. I haven't touched snipers outside

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.800
of the campaign. It's really fucking satisfying.

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.360
Yeah, I've seen lots of clips, but you know what

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.960
else is satisfying? It's blowing the fuck out

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.620
of a tank. That's my main class. It's very satisfying.

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.159
That is my main class as well. I've just unlocked

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.400
the RPG. I've had that for a while. It's nutty,

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.620
but to be fair, I was playing as a medic. Fuck

00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:53.139
the medics, bruv. Why? Because they're just fucking

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:55.699
useless. I'm not a useless medic. I'm dying here.

00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:56.939
I will revive you. And they literally, it says

00:02:56.939 --> 00:02:59.120
one meter away. Yeah, I will revive you. And

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.719
they're just dead. Can we talk about that? Oh.

00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:05.060
Right? Because, do you enable cross play? Yeah,

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.000
I do, yeah. Yeah, I think it's the PC players

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.159
that are the shitters. Bro, I'm not a medic.

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.400
I still revive everyone I can. Same here, same

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.860
here. So what are you doing? It's either the

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:18.599
Xbox players, the COD players. or the pc players

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.340
or all of the above and i feel like it might

00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:23.259
be all of the above because it ain't me and i'm

00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:25.780
a playstation player so it's obviously not me

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:28.580
and my and my family it's everyone else that's

00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:31.340
the problem because why if someone's down and

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:34.180
you're a fucking medic why are you running past

00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:37.419
me and then not reviving me and engaging in battle

00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:40.360
fucking 20 meters away yep why are you doing

00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.580
that you've got defibs so you don't even Number

00:03:43.580 --> 00:03:46.939
one, they get a 25 % reduction on fucking reviving

00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:49.199
people anyway, or 15%. Whatever it is, it's a

00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.500
lot quicker than everyone else. Number two, they've

00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:54.020
got defibs. It takes 0 .2 of a second to go,

00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:58.199
bring me back. There's us dragging people out

00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.099
the street, and it takes like five seconds. What

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:04.439
the fuck? You're just not picking me up. And

00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.039
then you'll understand as an engineer. Stop fucking

00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:09.860
driving away in the tank when I'm fixing it.

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.659
Stop fucking driving away from me. Why are you

00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:16.379
doing that? I've been sat in your tank the entire

00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:20.079
time on the fucking heavy machine gun, killing

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.740
things with you, and then jumping out and repairing.

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:25.180
Why, when it's critical, are you driving away

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:28.459
from me? Stop driving away from me. The most

00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:30.639
annoying part that I've had is when I'm in the

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.220
tank because I quite often use tanks, get up

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:35.100
on a hill and then I just bomb the shit out of

00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:37.399
people. And then I get out to repair my tank

00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.639
and someone gets in it and drives off. I'm like,

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.579
I've had this for like 10 minutes. That should

00:04:42.579 --> 00:04:45.939
be locked for like 30 seconds. I absolutely love

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:48.899
the Engineer because it's made me really like

00:04:48.899 --> 00:04:52.199
playing a tank, getting involved with tanks and

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.439
shit. My tanks are leveled up better than the

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.910
guns that I've got. just some of the shit and

00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:01.430
then unlocking the RPG has just been a whirlwind

00:05:01.430 --> 00:05:05.990
oh god that thing that thing fucking rips through

00:05:05.990 --> 00:05:08.430
tanks it's an animal I absolutely love it and

00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:11.129
then one of the things that I find really satisfying

00:05:11.129 --> 00:05:13.889
is obviously as an engineer you get mines and

00:05:13.889 --> 00:05:16.069
I always just instinctively just fucking chuck

00:05:16.069 --> 00:05:18.730
them down wherever forget about them and then

00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:21.430
about fucking 20 minutes into a game because

00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:27.000
you've killed someone these mines What's this?

00:05:27.060 --> 00:05:28.839
You want to fucking... Oh, what, did you throw

00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.319
one on it? I just threw him off the roof, bruv.

00:05:31.339 --> 00:05:33.360
I see him coming down the street. And then bang,

00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:43.800
bang. Go on. I love it, man. I had... I was capturing

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.180
a point, same map. I love that. And a tank come

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:50.439
bowling round the corner and I ran round the

00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.360
corner and I didn't have anything other than

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.579
the mines. So I quickly ran back onto the road

00:05:55.579 --> 00:05:58.720
and threw a mine down. Fucker followed me. Bang.

00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:01.579
Quad kill. I was like, oh, it's amazing. You've

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.660
got to bait them out. Fire a few shots at them.

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.079
Oh, look at me. I'm all weak and pathetic. Yeah,

00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:09.300
you can get me with your big turret. I think

00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:11.480
this video I've got encapsulates why Battlefield

00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.920
is so fantastic and better than any other shooting

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.709
game in the world. Because, yeah, here you go.

00:06:18.209 --> 00:06:21.389
Just cinematic to fuck. Shot by this fucking

00:06:21.389 --> 00:06:27.970
chopper. Oh, look. Medics revived me. Oh, shot

00:06:27.970 --> 00:06:31.050
by the fucking chopper again. I can't be revived

00:06:31.050 --> 00:06:34.209
this time. Yeah. Fuming. I was a sniper at the

00:06:34.209 --> 00:06:36.769
time. I'm not going to be a sniper anymore because

00:06:36.769 --> 00:06:39.829
I'm fuming. Swap over to an engineer. Straight

00:06:39.829 --> 00:06:44.699
to an engineer. RPG. Bang. See you later. How'd

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.399
you like that? You kill me twice, I switch to

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.259
an engineer, spawn on them, boom, first. That

00:06:50.259 --> 00:06:53.980
was satisfying. And that is why Battlefield's

00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:56.939
so good. I love it. I absolutely love it. It's

00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:58.339
so much better than I thought it was going to

00:06:58.339 --> 00:07:00.300
be. I thought it was going to be good, but...

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:03.060
The only thing that I'm not a great fan of at

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:05.379
the moment is the way in which you unlock the

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:08.500
weapons and shit like that. Yeah, slow. The menus

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:11.800
are a bit waft. Yeah. I'm not a massive fan of

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.899
that. Like the... Like the class challenges.

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.439
I don't even look to them. You have to be past

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.379
a certain level before you can fucking start

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:21.939
unlocking there. And then you've got to do X,

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:25.180
Y, and Z. The sniper one's horrendous. Leon was

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:28.519
telling me you need like 150 kills. at like 200

00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.620
metres or something like that. Headshots. Fuck

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:33.399
off. My longest kill was 183 metres and that's

00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.500
fucking almost across a map. Yeah, I think...

00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:37.939
It can't be 200 metres. Oh, you said a shitload

00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:39.360
of stuff. I'll see if I can scroll back but I'm

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.180
pretty sure it was like 150 headshots at 200

00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:46.000
metres. That's mental. If I type in headshots.

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.879
Headshot. 150 headshot kills at 200 plus metres

00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.600
or it might be 250 headshots. He said he can't

00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.769
remember. But yeah, he said, snipers, you need

00:08:00.769 --> 00:08:03.189
to get to the weapon level 30 on a sniper to

00:08:03.189 --> 00:08:06.269
get the actual sniper scope. It takes multiple

00:08:06.269 --> 00:08:08.370
days of playing. Because I've been playing it

00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:10.750
a lot. And I've not been doing bad until I found

00:08:10.750 --> 00:08:14.410
my groove with the engineer. 100%. Because playing

00:08:14.410 --> 00:08:17.029
as a medic with the LMGs, I was fucking shit

00:08:17.029 --> 00:08:20.110
with them. Terrible. No, I haven't touched, I

00:08:20.110 --> 00:08:22.269
haven't even clicked on that class. What, on

00:08:22.269 --> 00:08:24.899
medic, you haven't touched it? No. I haven't

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:26.879
even tried assault, really. To be fair, I haven't

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.399
touched assault and I haven't touched recon.

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.060
Just done medic and engineer. And now I shall

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:33.480
be solely engineer because I'm just not interested

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.259
in anything else. Engine is great. I did do a

00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:39.159
boo -boo because my favourite gun in the history

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.240
of guns has always been the M4 or the AK, normally.

00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:47.779
And I was using the fucking M4. I don't know,

00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.360
it's like level fucking 20 or something. It's

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.259
quite high. Probably higher than that. And then

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:55.360
I was looking at some geezer's build of it and

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.840
I was trying to put the attachment on. Is this

00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.580
like a pre -alpha build or something? Because

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:01.820
I ain't got these fucking attachments. I realise

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:04.460
I've been using the wrong gun for 15 hours. Nice.

00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.580
Yeah, I've been using the M4 -3 something rather

00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:09.580
than just the M4. I put the M4 on and I was like,

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:11.960
it's a laser beam. Now I can hit people easily.

00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:14.480
So yeah, that pissed me off a little bit. So

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.940
now I've had to start levelling up the gun again,

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.799
which is annoying. What am I using? I'm using

00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.870
the P... W5 or something? There's a second submachine

00:09:24.870 --> 00:09:26.809
gun in. Are you using a submachine gun? Yeah.

00:09:27.190 --> 00:09:30.389
Yeah, I like the submachine gun, man. I like

00:09:30.389 --> 00:09:32.909
the ADS speed and the fucking bullets and stuff

00:09:32.909 --> 00:09:38.750
like that. Also, I want the next one down. I

00:09:38.750 --> 00:09:43.929
think you'd call it a G60, but it's known as

00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:46.009
something else. But I think this actual thing

00:09:46.009 --> 00:09:49.269
is a G60. I just like the submachine guns. But

00:09:49.269 --> 00:09:52.710
is that because I've switched from an LMG? So

00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:54.649
I've gone from one extreme to the other, fucking

00:09:54.649 --> 00:09:58.029
taking 10 seconds to aim in and then shoot, and

00:09:58.029 --> 00:09:59.830
then switching over to something that's absolutely

00:09:59.830 --> 00:10:02.350
instant in aiming in. I'm just having a fucking

00:10:02.350 --> 00:10:05.149
great time with it. I haven't used an SMG yet.

00:10:05.210 --> 00:10:07.250
I've been killed by a lot of them from some fucking

00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:09.929
range. From range, yeah. They're not bad at range.

00:10:10.169 --> 00:10:12.450
Yeah, so I might have to try it, but I just want

00:10:12.450 --> 00:10:14.929
to live up the M4 first. I've got a fucking 3

00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:19.000
.5x scope on mine. On a sub. That makes no sense,

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.659
but it works. Works really well. I haven't even

00:10:21.659 --> 00:10:23.759
got that on my AR. I've got it one time. Yeah,

00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.860
it works really well. I don't know why. I just

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:29.860
like it, man. Really enjoying it. Yeah, it's

00:10:29.860 --> 00:10:31.820
great. There's another game on there. Is it Escalation?

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.460
The one where the map shoots? There's one where

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:40.460
the map gets split into zones and you have to

00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:44.320
capture whoever has the most zones and they start

00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.779
getting rid of. Start getting rid of zones. It's

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:49.919
whoever captures three zones and then the map

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.500
shrinks. I haven't played it. People say it's

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.820
really good. It's like Conquest. I just like

00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:57.940
playing Conquest. It's always been Conquest for

00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:01.440
me. Like I said to you before, I pick a favourite

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.519
location and I'll just go there and I'll just

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.059
make sure I hold it. That one with the mines

00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:08.200
off the building, that's B. I always go to B,

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:10.299
whatever side of the map I'm on. I had one of

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:12.460
the most perfect things doing exactly that where

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:15.940
I was defending a point. and it was just me,

00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.799
and then there was one other enemy that was on

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.940
the point, but we must have been at separate

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:24.500
ends, and just sat there the entire time. I don't

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:25.840
know what he was doing, because he wouldn't have

00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.120
been getting anything for it, but I filled up

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.200
my fucking defending XP to like, I think it was

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.620
like four and a half thousand, just sitting there.

00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:36.899
And then he finally showed face, and I killed

00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.179
him, and then someone else popped in, and I killed

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:41.120
them as well, and then fucking defended the whole

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.480
thing, and then I got my head blown off. But

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.000
it was great. I was like, yeah, you just sit

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.360
there and I'll sit here. Let me fucking gather

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.580
all this XP. I'm absolutely fine just chilling

00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:51.779
in a bush. Yeah, that's it, man. And you wait

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:53.840
for them to expose themselves and then you pop,

00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:58.539
pop, pop. It's just a fun game. Because I looked

00:11:58.539 --> 00:12:00.679
in a lobby that I was in yesterday and it was

00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:04.309
like 90 % PC players. So I am tempted to turn

00:12:04.309 --> 00:12:07.029
off the cross -play just to see what the calibre

00:12:07.029 --> 00:12:11.110
of gameplay is like in comparison, because I

00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:13.009
know that it is easier on mouse and keyboard.

00:12:13.429 --> 00:12:16.169
Oh, for sure. So I'd like to just see what it'd

00:12:16.169 --> 00:12:19.070
be like without that. I changed all my settings,

00:12:19.250 --> 00:12:23.730
all my controls, everything. So the tank now,

00:12:23.909 --> 00:12:26.149
because I hate the way they move. So now I've

00:12:26.149 --> 00:12:29.200
got tank on. to drive forward and backwards,

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.080
R2 and L2, to reverse and go forward rather than

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.299
this fucking stick turning this way. So what,

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:36.740
do you have to shoot just L1 and R1? Yeah. That's

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:39.019
what I shoot with anyway, on shooters. Oh, you

00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:42.460
swap it to L1 and R1? Yeah. Only multiplayer

00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:45.019
shooters. On normal games, I'll just do L2, R2.

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.179
Multiplayer, it's so much quicker to press these

00:12:48.179 --> 00:12:49.960
buttons and the triggers. Triggers, you've got

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:54.500
to push in more. The buttons are just... I'm

00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:56.659
not competitive, but it gives me an edge. Yeah,

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:58.580
it's a habit of a lifetime that I won't ever

00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:00.960
change, unfortunately. I've gotten used to the

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.879
tank movement now, so I won't bother changing

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.100
it. I just don't like it. It just doesn't feel...

00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:06.779
No, I don't like it either, moving with the left

00:13:06.779 --> 00:13:09.860
stick. I'm not a fan of it, but I've used the

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:11.779
tank so much now that I've just gotten used to

00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:13.519
it. The only thing is I haven't touched the jet.

00:13:13.970 --> 00:13:15.649
Haven't touched a helicopter. I tried the jet.

00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:18.070
I tried the helicopter. I was all right flying

00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:20.450
in Battlefield 4, but that was so long ago now,

00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:23.450
I've forgotten. Now I'm just... What they need

00:13:23.450 --> 00:13:26.230
is training grounds. They do. For vehicles. Because

00:13:26.230 --> 00:13:29.210
people... I keep seeing people in chat, why did

00:13:29.210 --> 00:13:30.429
you get in the chopper when you don't know how

00:13:30.429 --> 00:13:33.909
to fly? Not to me, just in general. How else

00:13:33.909 --> 00:13:35.610
are they going to learn? I think so people go

00:13:35.610 --> 00:13:39.330
into the custom... maps into the portal where

00:13:39.330 --> 00:13:42.830
you can have there are flying maps there so people

00:13:42.830 --> 00:13:44.649
go in there and then learn to fly that's what

00:13:44.649 --> 00:13:46.289
everyone because i've been seeing the same stuff

00:13:46.289 --> 00:13:48.429
people have been saying fucking go and use them

00:13:48.429 --> 00:13:51.429
before you jump in a jump in a jet or something

00:13:51.429 --> 00:13:56.149
like that um but who gives a fuck you know i

00:13:56.149 --> 00:13:59.210
mean i wish they had more like uh you know when

00:13:59.210 --> 00:14:01.879
you're like changing tank stuff I wish they had

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.139
a little box showing you the weapon firing. I

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:07.480
don't know what a fucking 50mm cannon versus

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.259
this fucking shit is. I like the ones that do

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:13.259
splash damage. You're firing at infantry out

00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:15.539
of the tank and they're hiding behind a rock

00:14:15.539 --> 00:14:17.399
and you shoot to the side of the rock and it's

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.440
splash damage. Yeah, they've got explosive shells.

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:21.919
Yeah, I know. But I need a visual representation

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.340
of that when I'm picking what I want on my tank.

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.669
It's just... These shells, this fucking gun,

00:14:27.850 --> 00:14:30.409
this gun, this gun. It tells you in the description

00:14:30.409 --> 00:14:32.149
of it. I don't want to read. I want to just look

00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:34.289
at it. It tells you at the top fucking left in

00:14:34.289 --> 00:14:36.450
the description of what they do. Yeah, I know.

00:14:36.549 --> 00:14:39.649
But is it no good saying, oh, fucking 50 mil

00:14:39.649 --> 00:14:43.149
cannon against infantry. I want to see it. I

00:14:43.149 --> 00:14:45.070
want to see the way it fires. I want to know

00:14:45.070 --> 00:14:49.070
if it's... Because it all matters. Can't you

00:14:49.070 --> 00:14:51.690
go in a shooting range with a tank and test them?

00:14:51.690 --> 00:14:53.129
No, you can't do nothing. You can only shoot

00:14:53.129 --> 00:14:55.049
your gun. That's all you can do. That's what

00:14:55.049 --> 00:14:57.570
I'm saying. You need a training ground for all

00:14:57.570 --> 00:14:59.409
vehicles where you can just fly around, drive,

00:14:59.629 --> 00:15:03.289
shoot, whatever you want to do. Yeah, I wonder

00:15:03.289 --> 00:15:04.970
why they haven't implemented something like that.

00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:08.389
It couldn't be that hard to implement that. No,

00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:11.009
if they can do the driving range, they just need

00:15:11.009 --> 00:15:13.029
an open space. You don't even need... You just

00:15:13.029 --> 00:15:16.230
put some targets around. Just go in the tank

00:15:16.230 --> 00:15:18.529
and just shoot the tank. And then in the fucking

00:15:18.529 --> 00:15:21.129
jet, you can fly over the same space and just

00:15:21.129 --> 00:15:22.750
drop bombs. Just use one of the maps they've

00:15:22.750 --> 00:15:28.090
already got. Just have no players in it. It's

00:15:28.090 --> 00:15:31.370
really good. Well, there you go. Fucking... There

00:15:31.370 --> 00:15:35.850
you go, dice. So good. I want a map that I can

00:15:35.850 --> 00:15:37.990
fly around in and not have to worry about fucking

00:15:37.990 --> 00:15:40.009
everything up for everyone. Please and thank

00:15:40.009 --> 00:15:43.710
you. Yep. I see the professional people that

00:15:43.710 --> 00:15:47.509
are... Some of them are mad. I know. Mad. Like

00:15:47.509 --> 00:15:50.929
the people in the little buzzards and stuff like

00:15:50.929 --> 00:15:53.340
that. at least I can actually see what they're

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:55.240
doing. The people in the jets, I ain't got a

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.019
fucking clue how you're seeing what you're doing.

00:15:57.179 --> 00:16:01.299
When they fly low and drop a couple of bombs

00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:03.320
or whatever, and I go, what did you shoot at?

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.620
Because I see that you kill people, but I don't

00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:07.539
know what you've just shot at. They don't, do

00:16:07.539 --> 00:16:10.059
they? They carpet bomb places. They fly over

00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:13.659
high populated areas and then they just carpet

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:15.679
bomb. Just drop bombs out the bottom and then

00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.559
hope for the best. But even the helicopters though,

00:16:18.659 --> 00:16:21.379
because you have to... You have to angle the

00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:24.320
helicopter for the gun, but then you're going

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:25.860
forward in that direction. You're just going

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:28.519
to crash. So you have to go down and then pull

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.059
up again. It's fast fucking well hard. I was

00:16:31.059 --> 00:16:32.820
all right on Battlefield 4, like I say, but I've

00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:35.419
got no chance on this. You have to really put

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:36.860
the work in if you want to get good at that.

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.340
But that's the way it should be. It seems like

00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:41.399
everyone's good. And then some cunt just spawns

00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.059
in with an RPG and takes you out. Yeah, you've

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:47.139
been waiting to finally get the vehicle. and

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:49.240
you just get blown out of fucking sky. I see

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.940
someone when we spawn, they jumped in the helicopter

00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:53.919
and I literally just watch this thing just go

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.159
up about 10 foot and then just fucking full rudder

00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.080
backwards and blow up. What a fucking waste.

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:05.059
Why would you do that? Why would Bob be doing

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:09.140
that? One of the worst things in all is, as an

00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:12.740
engineer, is running up to a tank and then not

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:15.160
realising that it's already got like four people

00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.269
in it. So then you just jump onto the back of

00:17:17.269 --> 00:17:19.630
it. I go, no, this isn't what I want to do. I

00:17:19.630 --> 00:17:22.190
want to be in the guns. I want to be doing the

00:17:22.190 --> 00:17:23.930
fun stuff, please. There's only one gun spot,

00:17:24.109 --> 00:17:27.210
though. Yeah, one gun spot. Fucking let me in

00:17:27.210 --> 00:17:29.569
the gunner. It's exciting, man. If it's come

00:17:29.569 --> 00:17:33.170
out this good, season one starts soon and they're

00:17:33.170 --> 00:17:35.230
going to be adding stuff. I completely forgot

00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:37.230
that Battlefield 2042 was a thing, you know,

00:17:37.269 --> 00:17:40.049
and that it did not start very well because this

00:17:40.049 --> 00:17:43.400
is completely different. Fuck, I completely forgot

00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:45.299
that they fucked up the last one. Oh, it was

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:47.099
terrible. This is completely different. We literally

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:49.480
spoke about it last week. I know, but I forgot

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:51.500
that it existed because I've been so rapt. Dying

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:54.160
Light's died a death. It hasn't. It has for me

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.500
as well. It hasn't, but I do need to play it.

00:17:56.579 --> 00:17:59.880
But at the same time, the thing with something

00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:04.039
like Battlefield is it's so easy to just sit

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:08.539
down, play a game, switch off, and then fucking

00:18:08.539 --> 00:18:10.299
potter about, do whatever you want, and then

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:12.829
pick it up. Whereas something like, Dying Light

00:18:12.829 --> 00:18:16.470
because Dying Light also has no autosaves unless

00:18:16.470 --> 00:18:18.470
you're outside unless you finish a mission or

00:18:18.470 --> 00:18:20.829
something like that you can't just randomly autosave

00:18:20.829 --> 00:18:24.130
in between stuff as far as I'm aware no I don't

00:18:24.130 --> 00:18:25.769
think so so if you jump in it it's like right

00:18:25.769 --> 00:18:27.349
well I've either got to go and do a mission to

00:18:27.349 --> 00:18:30.009
completion or I need to find a fucking safe zone

00:18:30.009 --> 00:18:32.250
that I can sleep in and stuff like that I can't

00:18:32.250 --> 00:18:36.529
just pick this up and put it down as easily so

00:18:36.529 --> 00:18:40.730
yeah it's just it's just so good it's so good

00:18:41.399 --> 00:18:44.339
God, it's good. Do you think it's good? I think

00:18:44.339 --> 00:18:46.680
it's fantastic. I haven't played the same map

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:50.539
40 times in a row. No, that's nice as well. Automatically

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:53.160
better. Also, I remember the bug where you'd

00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:54.660
start and you just couldn't pick a load out.

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.759
Yeah, yeah. You just couldn't do nothing. Yeah,

00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.380
that hasn't happened. Have you seen the one so

00:18:59.380 --> 00:19:01.809
far where people jump on the drones? And they

00:19:01.809 --> 00:19:04.390
sledgehammer it. I saw that in the wild yesterday.

00:19:04.529 --> 00:19:07.250
I saw someone doing it over across the map. And

00:19:07.250 --> 00:19:09.769
I watched them get fucking blasted off of that

00:19:09.769 --> 00:19:12.930
drone. Their body flew. That's how a lot of people

00:19:12.930 --> 00:19:15.009
get hype for Miles headshots because they're

00:19:15.009 --> 00:19:18.289
going so high in the sky. We've got to be talented

00:19:18.289 --> 00:19:20.549
to shoot that quick. Yeah. I mean, that shit's

00:19:20.549 --> 00:19:23.029
going to get nerfed anyway. They'll remove that.

00:19:23.430 --> 00:19:26.390
Do you keep seeing the beams and all? You getting

00:19:26.390 --> 00:19:29.369
that little glitch? Like a light beam. Looks

00:19:29.369 --> 00:19:31.569
like someone's being hit with a fucking, with

00:19:31.569 --> 00:19:34.950
a laser cannon, literally just from the sky,

00:19:35.049 --> 00:19:39.150
just a... And there's a, it's not real, but whenever

00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:40.730
you go on Reddit, there's loads of people that

00:19:40.730 --> 00:19:42.690
are saying, oh, it's their way of getting rid

00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:45.349
of hackers. That'd be good though, wouldn't it?

00:19:45.450 --> 00:19:46.710
They've been shot with fucking these massive

00:19:46.710 --> 00:19:49.150
beams of light. That'd be great if it was. Every

00:19:49.150 --> 00:19:51.410
time you spawn as a hacker, you just got blasted.

00:19:51.410 --> 00:19:55.509
They're crazy. I saw a clip of a hacker and he'd

00:19:55.509 --> 00:19:57.920
been backed into a corner. And because he was

00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.519
a hacker, he couldn't die, but he could get downed.

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.599
So what happened was they were shooting him in

00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:06.019
the corner and then someone was reviving him

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:07.720
and then someone was shooting him. There was

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.740
this group, like five people, and there was just

00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:13.299
one medic. So that medic kept reviving him and

00:20:13.299 --> 00:20:15.000
then the other people just kept downing him and

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.460
then reviving and kept downing. I'm pretty sure

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:20.200
it was an XP farm. Yeah, it sounds like it. I

00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:21.859
haven't even gone on portal. That's the problem.

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.339
A lot of people have gone on... padded up all

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:27.740
their kds and shit i don't think anything you're

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:29.279
doing portal shouldn't count towards your kd

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.299
and i don't want to touch portal though man i'm

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:34.680
just enjoying i don't want to spoil that i don't

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:36.500
need curated stuff man those are people have

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:38.759
made someone's made snake you literally play

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.599
snake and space invaders the stuff you can do

00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.160
is insane yeah the level of ability and talent

00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.700
and stuff and have the ceiling for what you could

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:50.000
make is mad I just like conquest and the maps

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.700
are good enough I don't need to fuck about and

00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:54.819
then the BR will come out and if that plays like

00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:59.579
this with being able to blow shit up mate god

00:20:59.579 --> 00:21:01.460
almighty that's going to take over the world

00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:05.220
yeah I'm with you on that I don't like battle

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:07.960
royales anymore but I will be dipping my toes

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.279
into that you've got to see you've got to check

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:11.140
it out you've got to see I say because this is

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:13.339
the destruction being able to just blow holes

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:16.720
in walls and shit and like you play a BR game

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:20.339
Apart from Fortnite, but it's a bit different.

00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.079
Because it's all got health in it. Yeah, it's

00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.859
just a different vibe anyway, but there's no

00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:30.160
other Battle Royale map that you could start

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.400
and finish and the map look different. Like this

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.559
could have holes in the floor and buildings on

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:37.259
the floor. Oh yeah, you can't hide anywhere anymore.

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:40.019
Cranes falling down and stuff. Hiding around

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:42.079
walls and shit is just gone because someone's

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:43.839
just going to blow the fuck out of it and then

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.019
you're done. Yeah. Defends how they do it. Their

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:50.099
potential is exciting. I had that yesterday.

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:54.619
It was in my last game. It was... Was it Escalation,

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:57.680
I think? No, I think we were playing Breakthrough.

00:21:58.460 --> 00:22:02.960
And there was... Whatever game mode it is where

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.519
you start and there's just a clear line. Attack

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.880
and defend. It weren't attack and defend, though.

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.819
I think it was Breakthrough. Or Rush. And it

00:22:12.819 --> 00:22:15.950
might have been Rush. I can't fucking remember

00:22:15.950 --> 00:22:17.789
if it was one of them. But basically where this

00:22:17.789 --> 00:22:20.809
line was with the enemies, there was a building

00:22:20.809 --> 00:22:24.869
that had been blown up, but the back of the building

00:22:24.869 --> 00:22:28.150
was still standing. So all the enemies were on

00:22:28.150 --> 00:22:30.710
the other side of this and then obviously spread

00:22:30.710 --> 00:22:33.769
across this whole line. And I was in that building

00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:35.690
and I was peeking around and fucking killing

00:22:35.690 --> 00:22:37.349
people. And then when people were running through,

00:22:37.470 --> 00:22:38.869
obviously they didn't know I was there, so I

00:22:38.869 --> 00:22:40.150
was getting them while I was running through.

00:22:41.230 --> 00:22:46.000
Well, then a tank come. from behind me and knocked

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.960
the fuck out of this wall and i just spun around

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:51.880
and as as this tank the wall was just falling

00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.799
apart i've spun around and there must have been

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.160
about 20 people just stood there i maybe got

00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.019
two of them before they just fucking blew my

00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:00.640
ass up and i was like it's typical standard ship

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.420
obviously as an engineer i've got the anti -tank

00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:07.180
grenades rather than the normal grenades so they

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:09.420
don't really do that much against yeah same and

00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:11.200
i keep meaning to take them off because i never

00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:13.359
throw them Yeah, I never throw them. I'm just

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.240
like, well, I've got a rocket launcher and mines.

00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:17.039
The grenades are the last thing I think about.

00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:19.119
And the only time I throw a grenade is when I

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.940
see loads of people grouped up and then I realise

00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:22.880
they're not good for you. Yeah, the grenades

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.099
are my last resort for anything. I've used them

00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:29.420
to blow tanks up, but they are the last, last

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:30.640
resort. And like you say, when you've got an

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:35.259
RPG, you do, yeah. The recon class is good. So

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:39.519
what I'd like to try is a recon class we've like.

00:23:40.389 --> 00:23:42.430
with an AR or something because the binoculars

00:23:42.430 --> 00:23:45.670
are mad, bro. You can mark, you can, so with

00:23:45.670 --> 00:23:47.390
this recon class, you can just sit in a fucking

00:23:47.390 --> 00:23:51.069
hill somewhere, get your binoculars out and because

00:23:51.069 --> 00:23:53.289
it's all like thermal imaging, you can just see

00:23:53.289 --> 00:23:55.329
someone fucking miles away out in the middle

00:23:55.329 --> 00:23:56.910
of nowhere. They don't know you've seen them.

00:23:57.109 --> 00:23:58.970
So you point the binoculars at them, they get

00:23:58.970 --> 00:24:02.029
the red dot over them and then, especially with

00:24:02.029 --> 00:24:06.170
my little zero in tactic. Cheeky, cheeky, headshot,

00:24:06.230 --> 00:24:09.819
boom. I love it. I'm not going to play it, though.

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.880
I'm not going to play it. Because Ark Raiders

00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.779
Beta is out tonight. It is out tonight. And I'm

00:24:14.779 --> 00:24:16.880
going to have to download that and dabble my

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.200
toes. Ark Raiders is out until the 19th, I believe.

00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:23.380
Yeah, this weekend. And then I think it's out

00:24:23.380 --> 00:24:26.740
in a couple of weeks. Yeah. So I need to download

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:28.460
that because I'm telling you, man, that's going

00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:31.440
to be massive. The game is going to be fucking

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.940
huge. You reckon, yeah? You don't think it's

00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:35.759
going to be just overshadowed by Battlefield?

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:38.059
I don't think so. I think it's going to be...

00:24:38.650 --> 00:24:40.789
flipping huge. I think if anything, I don't want

00:24:40.789 --> 00:24:42.170
it to, but I think Battlefield will lose a lot

00:24:42.170 --> 00:24:43.849
of players. A lot of people will come straight

00:24:43.849 --> 00:24:45.230
back to Battlefield because it might not be their

00:24:45.230 --> 00:24:47.809
jam, but there's going to be a lot of people

00:24:47.809 --> 00:24:49.589
that are like, yes. How many people do you think

00:24:49.589 --> 00:24:52.109
are going to fuck off from Battlefield over to

00:24:52.109 --> 00:24:55.430
COD? You reckon? It's hard to tell, isn't it?

00:24:55.430 --> 00:24:56.869
I think there's a lot of people that go to COD

00:24:56.869 --> 00:24:59.009
just because I've seen a lot of people complain

00:24:59.009 --> 00:25:01.190
and go like, oh yeah, Battlefield's great, it's

00:25:01.190 --> 00:25:05.650
had a week of hype, well done. There's a lot

00:25:05.650 --> 00:25:09.220
of salty people in there. I just feel like, Have

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:11.339
you seen that Instagram video I sent you earlier?

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:14.799
Of the Battlefield video I sent you? Which one?

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:17.500
I've seen a couple. So watch that and then we'll

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:22.759
discuss. And this is why Battlefield is far beyond

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.039
Call of Duty in my opinion. Battlefield 6 has

00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:28.500
me getting too attached to my squad. Yeah, that's

00:25:28.500 --> 00:26:00.029
the one. Is that the one? Watch that. Oh and

00:26:00.029 --> 00:26:01.490
they're turning the HUD off as well as it looks

00:26:01.490 --> 00:26:27.140
I think proper fortified though Typical fucking

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:29.720
assault class standing there. There's three of

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:57.079
them down and he's just still shooting. Do you

00:26:57.079 --> 00:26:59.299
think they were actually squad -based and he

00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:01.819
was chatting to them? Probably not. But my point

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:05.299
is, like, whilst I'm not having that dialogue

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:07.460
with people while I'm on a roof shooting people...

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:08.579
Well, he was just fucking talking to himself.

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:10.799
In my head, that's what I'm feeling like. Get

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:14.160
down, pulling the geyser over. Get up. I'm not

00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.680
saying anything, but in my head, that's the feeling

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.299
you get. You're trying to fight people and you've

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:21.660
got people falling around you. It's very like

00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:23.880
Saving Private Ryan, isn't it? On the beach,

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.740
isn't it? And Call of Duty is just arcade. Yeah,

00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:31.400
it's not that vibe. Like I say, my first Battlefield

00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:35.680
game was Battlefield 4. And then I played Battlefield

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:37.640
4, I played Battlefield Hardline, I played Battlefield

00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.359
1, but I don't really like World War 1 and 2

00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.500
stuff. I like modern stuff. And then, yeah, 2042.

00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:48.740
But Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 were... and

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:50.680
Hardline were really fucking good. Battlefield

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.279
4 was sick, man. And they're just military shooters.

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:58.059
There's no bollocks in it. And much like this,

00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:00.819
I mean, I'm sure they'll put skins in it, but

00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:02.759
as long as they're like cool skins that make

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.759
sense, not, you know, SpongeBob SquarePants.

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.759
From the vibe that I've got just from this week,

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:11.700
I cannot see them going down that avenue. I just

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:16.140
cannot see it. It's too... Even down to the sound

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:19.500
design, man. When you put a headset on and you're

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:24.240
just roaming around and shooting guns, I'm in

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.779
love with the sound of the turrets from the tanks.

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:30.240
I absolutely love them. It just all sounds so

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.880
fucking good. Even down to little things. You

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:35.319
won't notice it because you've changed the key

00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.900
bindings, but the haptic feedback on the triggers.

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.720
When you are in the tank on the machine gun,

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:48.980
you only have to tap the trigger and it fires.

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.500
You don't have to hold the whole thing down.

00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:54.019
It's very, very sensitive and you can feel it

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:57.660
clicking. And yeah, it's just something that

00:28:57.660 --> 00:29:00.259
you don't get from Call of Duty. But at the same

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:03.720
time, you can't blame Call of Duty because they

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:05.920
were never trying to be Battlefield and Battlefield

00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:08.559
was never trying to be Call of Duty. They weren't...

00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:13.539
In my mind, they weren't a comparable thing because

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:16.480
they're two different games. Yeah, but they are,

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:20.900
but Battlefield 2042 is trying to be Call of

00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:23.619
Duty because Call of Duty introduced large maps

00:29:23.619 --> 00:29:26.880
like Conquest. In modern warfare, they had the

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.660
large -scale stuff. World War II, they introduced

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:33.799
the... Yeah, so they've had the Battlefield modes

00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.319
with the choppers and stuff like that in just

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.279
the general multiplayer, and then Battlefield

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.160
2042 started adding operators like Apex and stuff

00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:42.940
like that, and, you know, Call of Duty, where

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:45.160
they have, you know, they didn't have SpongeBob

00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:46.759
SquarePants, but they had Santa hats and all

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:48.440
that bullshit. The lines got blurred at some

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:50.880
point. Yeah, so, you know, exactly, the lines

00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.039
got blurred. But now Battlefield's back to its

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.200
more military, its military sim lite. I mean,

00:29:57.220 --> 00:29:59.839
it's not Armoury Forger. where that's just pure

00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:05.119
military simulation. It's arcade -y but milsim,

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.859
if you know what I mean. It's the perfect balance.

00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.400
So anyone that likes the arcade dopamine from

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.740
Call of Duty, then they'll fuck off to Call of

00:30:12.740 --> 00:30:15.359
Duty and then the Battlefield people will stay

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:17.380
with Battlefield. The only reason I've played

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:21.119
Call of Duty for so long now is because I stopped

00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.460
playing after Modern Warfare 2, I think it was,

00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:26.559
like the old Modern Warfare 2 back in the day.

00:30:27.150 --> 00:30:29.250
I didn't play it for fucking years and the only

00:30:29.250 --> 00:30:31.549
time I came back was when Warzone came back and

00:30:31.549 --> 00:30:33.450
then I was like oh this is great and then I played

00:30:33.450 --> 00:30:35.809
all the Call of Duties because of Warzone I was

00:30:35.809 --> 00:30:37.349
like integrated back into that and Battlefield

00:30:37.349 --> 00:30:39.269
was nowhere to be seen I didn't like World War

00:30:39.269 --> 00:30:42.109
1 World War 2 stuff and then they introduced

00:30:42.109 --> 00:30:45.630
2042 which was slop so we've had no other option

00:30:45.630 --> 00:30:49.009
so now Battlefield's back hopefully for the long

00:30:49.009 --> 00:30:51.970
run I'm back in the Battlefield ecosystem man

00:30:51.970 --> 00:30:54.029
and I couldn't be happier you can get a dog tag

00:30:54.029 --> 00:30:59.079
for Render... Yeah, I see that. I don't know

00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.220
what that means. I killed a man with a finisher

00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:04.779
and I got a dog tag and it had a name on it and

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:06.799
a date of birth. I don't know if that was his,

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.059
like... I don't know if that was his username.

00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:12.519
And when I go into my collection, that dog tag

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.519
is there with that name on it. If that is his

00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.460
username, I've got him in my collection forever.

00:31:18.660 --> 00:31:20.839
I don't know if it's just the first one or whatever,

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.339
but yeah. The... Renderzook? Whatever the fuck

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:27.559
it is. That was in the 2042 trailer, is when

00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:31.819
you go up in a jet and you jump out, RPG someone

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:34.839
down, then get back in a jet. That is the...

00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.289
You get a dog tag for doing that. which is quite

00:31:38.289 --> 00:31:40.710
cool I see some crazy stuff people like I say

00:31:40.710 --> 00:31:42.750
they're next level they're next level players

00:31:42.750 --> 00:31:45.630
I'm boots on the ground the closest you'll see

00:31:45.630 --> 00:31:47.210
me to stuff like that is in a tank on a hill

00:31:47.210 --> 00:31:49.670
somewhere miles away because you know the people

00:31:49.670 --> 00:31:51.890
don't know what they're doing which was me get

00:31:51.890 --> 00:31:53.789
a tank and just drive straight towards an objective

00:31:53.789 --> 00:31:55.430
but that's not how to play man you've got to

00:31:55.430 --> 00:31:58.589
pop up on a hill somewhere and just pepper locations

00:31:58.589 --> 00:32:01.589
where people are trying to attack because people

00:32:01.589 --> 00:32:04.049
have got a call of duty brain is what I see when

00:32:04.049 --> 00:32:08.450
I play so instead of like playing like you know

00:32:08.450 --> 00:32:10.869
around the outskirts or checking around the corners

00:32:10.869 --> 00:32:14.170
for the objectives and defending you feel like

00:32:14.170 --> 00:32:16.329
you're not doing anything if you're just camping

00:32:16.329 --> 00:32:20.200
essentially But no, every time you're killing

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:21.759
an opponent that's running to objective, you're

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.599
helping the team, right? Where Call of Duty brain

00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:26.579
is just run straight towards people constantly.

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:28.440
Straight to the enemy, get kills, kills, kills,

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:30.160
kills. But then they're getting angry because

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.279
they keep dying. It's because there's like fucking

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.339
60 players and you're just running in the middle

00:32:34.339 --> 00:32:36.480
of the fucking thing. There's mines, there's

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.700
tanks, there's helicopters. Yeah, you're running

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:40.839
into warfare. What do you think would happen?

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:42.420
You're just going to get your head blown off.

00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:44.680
Exactly. It's not how it works. You're not going

00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:46.599
to be able to run in the middle of all of that

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:48.980
and then... And that's why Call of Duty players

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:51.900
are getting so annoyed because they don't play

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:53.759
Battlefield. That's not how Battlefield is supposed

00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.859
to be played. There might be the odd map that

00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:58.500
you can do that on the small maps maybe, but

00:32:58.500 --> 00:33:00.680
that's not what Conquest is anyway. Have you

00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:04.759
seen the button for the silos? There's a map

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.380
with silos where you can obviously go up the

00:33:07.380 --> 00:33:09.579
ladders and then it's a really good sniping spot.

00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:17.059
But it's an oil rig thing. So there's a... like

00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:20.400
a blow -off valve for it that's obviously on

00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:24.339
fire um burning excess gas there's a button at

00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:27.440
the bottom of those silos a purge button and

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.140
when you press it it purges the whole silo so

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:32.599
the whole top of it just bursts into flames and

00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:34.720
emits loads of flames so the entire platform

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.039
gets lit up scorched so and so people who are

00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.579
up there sniping just end up getting burnt yeah

00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:43.769
nice I was like, that's so cool, because I see

00:33:43.769 --> 00:33:46.549
a clip of someone doing it, and then the next

00:33:46.549 --> 00:33:49.890
clip down was someone who was sniping at the

00:33:49.890 --> 00:33:51.970
top of it and then got caught in the flames.

00:33:52.029 --> 00:33:53.730
And they were like, that's a fucking thing? He

00:33:53.730 --> 00:33:56.990
was like, how is that a thing? That's good, man.

00:33:57.109 --> 00:33:59.150
So that's what you want. You want that kind of

00:33:59.150 --> 00:34:01.470
shit. I think the future's very bright for Battlefield,

00:34:01.750 --> 00:34:03.250
and hopefully they stick with this and they don't

00:34:03.250 --> 00:34:04.930
try and deviate too much, because it doesn't

00:34:04.930 --> 00:34:08.400
need deviation, it just needs refining. The fact

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:12.179
that they've already started looking at the XP

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:14.980
gains and how you unlock stuff and things like

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:18.099
that leads me to think that they want people

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:21.920
to stick around because the grind was... It was

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.820
too much. It was quite a bit. I've been playing

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:28.039
a fair amount and I'm not amazing, but I see

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:30.829
it like... top third of the table in most of

00:34:30.829 --> 00:34:32.929
my games once I've fucking warmed up finished

00:34:32.929 --> 00:34:36.349
first twice yeah I've done it once but both times

00:34:36.349 --> 00:34:41.510
we lost as a team I've done pretty decent and

00:34:41.510 --> 00:34:45.190
even then even with doing the challenges and

00:34:45.190 --> 00:34:48.190
shit like that you're not levelling up like a

00:34:48.190 --> 00:34:52.469
crazy crazy amount so they needed to do something

00:34:52.469 --> 00:34:59.579
with it but yeah my concern is that They have

00:34:59.579 --> 00:35:02.719
to increase the XP gain on weapons if they're

00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:04.840
going to go with the Call of Duty model of you

00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:06.300
have to level the weapons to use them in the

00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:08.480
Battle Royale. Yeah, yeah. Because I have so

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.840
far not even close to maxed one gun, and I've

00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:12.699
played it for 15, 20 hours, and I've only been

00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:14.739
using two different guns, sniper rifle and the

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:17.559
M43 fucking whatever it was by accident. Some

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.019
of my scopes are like mastery level 54. That's

00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:23.420
what I mean. My gun's level 6, 7. Exactly, and

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:25.489
I'll probably get, I don't know, say... 20 kills

00:35:25.489 --> 00:35:28.969
a game or something. 80 % of them probably with

00:35:28.969 --> 00:35:32.750
the gun I'm using. So, yeah, I don't know how

00:35:32.750 --> 00:35:34.630
you're supposed to level up. But then it's a

00:35:34.630 --> 00:35:37.570
marathon, not a sprint, isn't it? You know, people...

00:35:37.570 --> 00:35:39.250
The trouble is people want everything straight

00:35:39.250 --> 00:35:41.329
away. And once you've got everything, what's

00:35:41.329 --> 00:35:43.230
there to do? Then people will moan. There's nothing

00:35:43.230 --> 00:35:45.570
to do. I've done everything. Do you know what

00:35:45.570 --> 00:35:49.489
I mean? It's a weird balance. But they do need

00:35:49.489 --> 00:35:51.010
to increase it, though, for sure. That's what

00:35:51.010 --> 00:35:52.630
I was thinking about today. I was like, I wouldn't...

00:35:53.130 --> 00:35:55.829
I wouldn't want it to be like COD where everything

00:35:55.829 --> 00:35:59.829
levels up pretty fucking quick for that exact

00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:03.090
reason because part of the fun is the grind.

00:36:03.389 --> 00:36:05.190
Yeah, I can't wait till I get this side. Yeah,

00:36:05.190 --> 00:36:08.489
I like it. I like it taking time, but at the

00:36:08.489 --> 00:36:11.800
same time, I don't want it to... to be a slog

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.059
yeah it needs improving but not not a crazy amount

00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:17.380
because it's nice when you when you finally unlock

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:19.820
the RPG and then you're fucking around with that

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:23.380
and then you actually have the time to use the

00:36:23.380 --> 00:36:25.519
fucking thing whilst you're unlocking everything

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.420
else and setting yourself a goal going right

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:30.460
I want that attachment I want this I want that

00:36:30.460 --> 00:36:32.980
I want that gadget so you go right well this

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:35.920
is what I gotta do blah blah blah It just makes

00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.920
it more fun. The only thing that I haven't done

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:41.199
yet is actually play with people. Again, I was

00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.940
explaining to Mark, I like playing it solo. I

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:48.519
also like playing in a squad, but I like playing

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:51.300
in solo for the simple fact that I'm not attached

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:54.820
to anyone. If I want to play a game, do something

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:57.000
else, or if I want to fuck while I'm playing

00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:58.780
a game, if I want to fuck off and do something,

00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:02.280
a different section of the objective or whatever,

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.619
there's no... attachment there but I know that

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:09.619
it's a game that is designed to be played in

00:37:09.619 --> 00:37:15.500
a squad for optimum fun yeah it's a bit of both

00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:17.780
isn't it I like playing solo I like playing with

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:20.780
people but Yeah, I'm the same. If I want to play

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:22.619
and then I want to go and have a poo or I want

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:23.880
to go and make a cup of tea, I don't want people

00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:26.440
waiting on me. You know what I mean? Especially

00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:27.860
not with how quick you can get into a game. It's

00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:29.559
like four seconds. You don't get a chance to

00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:31.320
wait, do you? A game's finished and you wait

00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:33.199
for, what, 10 seconds and you're in another game.

00:37:33.260 --> 00:37:37.260
I go, what the fuck? What would be nice is I'd

00:37:37.260 --> 00:37:38.900
want to see it so that when you finish a game,

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:40.500
obviously you scroll over and then you get your

00:37:40.500 --> 00:37:43.679
challenges and your XP and your progression and

00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:45.519
it shows all the stuff you've unlocked if you've

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.510
unlocked anything. I would like it. to show you

00:37:49.510 --> 00:37:51.710
that when you go back into the main menu as well

00:37:51.710 --> 00:37:54.989
so just have my previous my progress i've just

00:37:54.989 --> 00:37:57.969
earned have that for when i go back to the main

00:37:57.969 --> 00:38:00.170
menu so i can actually remember what it is i've

00:38:00.170 --> 00:38:03.590
unlocked because the the transition from game

00:38:03.590 --> 00:38:06.889
mode to game mode is so quick that you half the

00:38:06.889 --> 00:38:09.650
time you ain't got a fucking chance to See what

00:38:09.650 --> 00:38:11.489
you're doing. Never thought we'd complain about

00:38:11.489 --> 00:38:14.869
loading times being fast. Too fast. It's far

00:38:14.869 --> 00:38:17.210
too fast. It's too much. I need a bit of unwind

00:38:17.210 --> 00:38:20.309
time. Yeah, we're older. We're getting old. It's

00:38:20.309 --> 00:38:22.829
been a war. I've just spent 30 minutes in a battle.

00:38:23.010 --> 00:38:25.349
Give me a couple of minutes. Because they're

00:38:25.349 --> 00:38:27.389
nice lengths as well in those large -scale wars.

00:38:27.469 --> 00:38:29.449
When they say 20 to 40 minutes, they are normally

00:38:29.449 --> 00:38:33.389
on the 40 -minute end, which is nice. Yeah, I'm

00:38:33.389 --> 00:38:34.969
a huge fan. I'm looking forward to playing it

00:38:34.969 --> 00:38:40.469
again. For many hours, for many years. Although

00:38:40.469 --> 00:38:42.530
I have heard horrible rumours that they want

00:38:42.530 --> 00:38:44.489
to turn Battlefield into an annual release, which

00:38:44.489 --> 00:38:46.929
I don't want. I'd be devastated if they did that.

00:38:46.929 --> 00:38:49.369
I see how they could or why they would. It's

00:38:49.369 --> 00:38:51.889
money, man. Because of money. Especially if they're

00:38:51.889 --> 00:38:53.929
going to go down the Battle Royale war zone route

00:38:53.929 --> 00:38:55.250
with all the guns and everything. I don't know

00:38:55.250 --> 00:38:58.449
if they will, but that's the rumours. But then

00:38:58.449 --> 00:39:00.230
EA have just been bought, so who knows what the

00:39:00.230 --> 00:39:03.289
plan is now. Fuck those. Yeah, I wouldn't want

00:39:03.289 --> 00:39:05.750
to... I wouldn't want a yearly release of it.

00:39:05.849 --> 00:39:08.010
No. Don't turn it into Call of Duty because then

00:39:08.010 --> 00:39:11.150
you end up with Black Ops 7. Battlefield now,

00:39:11.389 --> 00:39:14.210
they're not deaf, they're not blind. EA are not

00:39:14.210 --> 00:39:16.510
deaf or blind and neither is Activision. They

00:39:16.510 --> 00:39:20.309
see where Call of Duty has slipped up. EA have

00:39:20.309 --> 00:39:23.510
just got to toe the line that they know Call

00:39:23.510 --> 00:39:25.110
of Duty are missing. What are people complaining

00:39:25.110 --> 00:39:27.670
about? Well, we won't do that. We won't have

00:39:27.670 --> 00:39:30.110
all these stupid skins in the game. We won't

00:39:30.110 --> 00:39:34.090
make it a fucking annual thing. We won't... We

00:39:34.090 --> 00:39:36.989
won't put too many microtransactions in it. You

00:39:36.989 --> 00:39:39.170
know what I mean? And we will communicate. The

00:39:39.170 --> 00:39:41.230
amount of information they've tweeted out in

00:39:41.230 --> 00:39:44.769
the last fucking three days is mental. They never

00:39:44.769 --> 00:39:48.710
get communication from Call of Duty. But that's

00:39:48.710 --> 00:39:50.230
what people want. They want to know that you're

00:39:50.230 --> 00:39:51.449
listening and be like, oh yeah, we've noticed

00:39:51.449 --> 00:39:52.869
that it's XP thing. We're going to sort that

00:39:52.869 --> 00:39:57.150
out. Oh, we've noticed that people are grinding

00:39:57.150 --> 00:39:59.690
in Portal to fucking cheat their way to whatever.

00:39:59.869 --> 00:40:02.380
So we're going to sort that out. With that communication,

00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:05.139
people will be much more... It must be a fucking

00:40:05.139 --> 00:40:06.780
buzz when you release a game like that and you've

00:40:06.780 --> 00:40:10.980
got like 800 ,000 consecutive players at every

00:40:10.980 --> 00:40:15.159
given minute. You must be... It must just be

00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.840
crazy where you've just got a whole team of people.

00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.760
You sit there and just fucking watch clips. You

00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.679
watch TikTok, go on Instagram Reels, fucking

00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:26.920
YouTube Shorts, whatever, and you just fucking

00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:29.139
watch and look at some of the weird shit that's

00:40:29.139 --> 00:40:31.590
happening and if it's crazy, we'll fix it. just

00:40:31.590 --> 00:40:34.250
sit there and watch because there will be so

00:40:34.250 --> 00:40:36.769
much fucking stuff going on where they'll go

00:40:36.769 --> 00:40:38.530
right you need to fix this you need to fix that

00:40:38.530 --> 00:40:43.150
it's just a very very good release so far because

00:40:43.150 --> 00:40:44.989
what is the fucking if I go on Steam what is

00:40:44.989 --> 00:40:52.050
the current or is it Steam charts in it Battlefield

00:40:52.050 --> 00:41:02.260
6 I think it was in the 800 ,000 Fuck off. Why

00:41:02.260 --> 00:41:06.639
does it do that? Belfield and I've opened everything

00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.420
by accident. I just want to see the player count

00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:14.199
Belford six player count So steam charts should

00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:20.300
we look at that? There's currently three hundred

00:41:20.300 --> 00:41:22.320
and seventy thousand seven hundred and forty

00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:26.619
two people in game through steam And then the

00:41:26.619 --> 00:41:32.260
all -time peak seven days ago was 747 ,440. That's

00:41:32.260 --> 00:41:35.539
just on Steam. And the majority will be console.

00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:39.699
So that's just on Steam. I don't know where you

00:41:39.699 --> 00:41:43.480
get the player count. Here we go. Player count

00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:47.139
and live statistics. Oh, this gives you top games

00:41:47.139 --> 00:41:49.300
in the last 30 days. Fortnite, Counter -Strike

00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:52.940
2, Battlefield 6 is third. League of Legends,

00:41:53.179 --> 00:41:56.949
PUBG. Overwatch 2, Dota 2, Valorant, Genshin

00:41:56.949 --> 00:42:02.889
Impact, and Black Ops 6. Do we have... Yeah,

00:42:02.969 --> 00:42:06.090
all -time peak. It seems to be taken from Steam's

00:42:06.090 --> 00:42:09.869
stats as well. It's doing very well. Very, very

00:42:09.869 --> 00:42:12.630
well. Is Arc Raiders out on Steam? Does that

00:42:12.630 --> 00:42:15.510
have... I know it's a beta slam or whatever,

00:42:15.650 --> 00:42:18.150
but server slam. Does it have active players

00:42:18.150 --> 00:42:23.429
on that? Arc Raiders is currently still... You

00:42:23.429 --> 00:42:29.630
can still purchase it for... Well, you want to

00:42:29.630 --> 00:42:31.630
see the player count for Ark Raiders. Yeah, because

00:42:31.630 --> 00:42:33.570
it comes out today, the server slam, so I didn't

00:42:33.570 --> 00:42:39.550
know if it would show on there. Ark Raiders player

00:42:39.550 --> 00:42:44.489
count. Let's have a look. Steam charts? That

00:42:44.489 --> 00:42:52.440
one. So, it's currently 57 ,509. I don't even

00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.380
know how you get the... Is that because... Because,

00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:57.119
yeah, because that's out now because that's from...

00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:03.059
That says from 9 o 'clock today and now it's

00:43:03.059 --> 00:43:06.119
shot right up. So right now it's, yeah, 52 ,000

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:12.239
from 3 o 'clock today. So, yeah, right now 57

00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:16.559
,509 people as of five minutes ago are in the

00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.550
app that are playing it. Oh, okay, 4pm. That's

00:43:21.550 --> 00:43:23.329
why. So it ain't even out yet for everyone yet.

00:43:23.389 --> 00:43:25.510
Yeah, I'd imagine that's why it says in -app.

00:43:25.590 --> 00:43:29.469
So right now there's 57 ,509 people that are

00:43:29.469 --> 00:43:33.750
sat on Steam on the page waiting for it to launch.

00:43:33.750 --> 00:43:35.469
Yeah, because it doesn't come out until four

00:43:35.469 --> 00:43:37.909
in England, five in Europe. So five minutes.

00:43:38.110 --> 00:43:40.389
In five minutes' time, you'll be able to download

00:43:40.389 --> 00:43:43.429
Ark Raiders. Yeah, and I'm going to do that.

00:43:43.469 --> 00:43:47.530
There's now 62 ,500 people. I think that game's

00:43:47.530 --> 00:43:49.530
going to shock you. You're going to be blown

00:43:49.530 --> 00:43:52.980
away. You reckon, yeah? I do. I really do. I

00:43:52.980 --> 00:43:55.340
hope I am. I've got nothing against it. No, I

00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:57.099
know. I'm just saying, I genuinely think this

00:43:57.099 --> 00:43:58.460
is the next big thing. I think this is going

00:43:58.460 --> 00:44:00.119
to blow Tarkov out of the water. I mean, this

00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.619
is going to be massive. I think this is going

00:44:02.619 --> 00:44:05.019
to be like... I think this is going to be like

00:44:05.019 --> 00:44:07.119
Apex Legends big, when it just drops and goes

00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:09.519
bang. I'm game for it. The only real taste that

00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:12.519
I've had from an extraction shooter is the dark

00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.920
zone in the division, which I absolutely love.

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:17.940
And that was the original OG. That's the first

00:44:17.940 --> 00:44:20.679
ever real extraction. And it was fucking sick.

00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:22.539
And the whole genre was spawned from that Dark

00:44:22.539 --> 00:44:24.500
Zone stuff. Is that where that come from? It's

00:44:24.500 --> 00:44:26.019
the first ever. I watched a video on it last

00:44:26.019 --> 00:44:27.340
night, funnily enough. I didn't want to mention

00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:28.739
it last week when we were talking about it because

00:44:28.739 --> 00:44:30.199
I didn't want to sound like a twat talking about

00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:33.800
Dark Zone being like the genesis of it. It is.

00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:36.019
And that's what they're saying. That was where

00:44:36.019 --> 00:44:37.539
they come from. A whole genre spawned from the

00:44:37.539 --> 00:44:40.500
Dark Zone in Division. And they never ran away

00:44:40.500 --> 00:44:42.800
with it. And Ubisoft have never done it. Yeah,

00:44:42.820 --> 00:44:44.699
I suppose the Division did because that's kind

00:44:44.699 --> 00:44:47.940
of the main thing is the Dark Zone. Because they

00:44:47.940 --> 00:44:51.920
put all the best shit in there. But they need

00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.059
a fucking Division 3, man. You need to stop fucking

00:44:54.059 --> 00:44:56.980
around with DLCs and events and add -ons and

00:44:56.980 --> 00:44:59.380
shit and just fucking give me the Division 3.

00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:03.300
That would be me gone. Hands down. Everything

00:45:03.300 --> 00:45:05.900
else gets dropped. This is the thing. I don't

00:45:05.900 --> 00:45:11.119
know if Artgraders is going to be my thing for

00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:14.090
the long haul. But I think it is going to be

00:45:14.090 --> 00:45:16.690
the thing for people. And the reason I don't

00:45:16.690 --> 00:45:18.510
know if it will be my thing, I love the look

00:45:18.510 --> 00:45:20.429
of it. I love the aesthetics. I love everything

00:45:20.429 --> 00:45:25.110
about the whole shebang I love. But I am a bitch.

00:45:25.909 --> 00:45:31.909
If I play FIFA and I need to win to go up into

00:45:31.909 --> 00:45:35.730
the next division online, I am fucking nervous,

00:45:35.889 --> 00:45:38.750
bruv. My hands are shaking. I get all fucking

00:45:38.750 --> 00:45:41.760
nervous, like sweaty and shit. So when you're

00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:43.500
in Ark Raiders or you're in an extraction shoot,

00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:47.179
if I get killed by some little fucking twat hiding

00:45:47.179 --> 00:45:48.659
around a corner, I'm not going to be one of these

00:45:48.659 --> 00:45:50.280
that laugh it off. Good job, man. I'm going to

00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:52.199
be fuming. Yeah. I won't abuse them down the

00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.139
mic. I'll just shout in the living room. Yeah,

00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:56.639
I'm not that kind of guy. But I just get too,

00:45:56.820 --> 00:45:59.500
I get, what's it called in DayZ? Gear fear. I

00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:01.619
get gear fear, man. You get fucking angry. But

00:46:01.619 --> 00:46:02.780
then that's what makes the game good, right?

00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.780
You cunt. You go in and you take, you take like,

00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:08.300
you take good weapons and stuff because you want

00:46:08.300 --> 00:46:09.699
to have an advantage on people but then you don't

00:46:09.699 --> 00:46:11.019
want to lose them so it's their fine balance.

00:46:11.300 --> 00:46:13.639
But what's interesting is I see like, because

00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:16.460
the way it works is you go in, there's loads

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:18.059
of different stuff going on, constantly different

00:46:18.059 --> 00:46:21.820
dynamic events and stuff. And then there's like,

00:46:22.190 --> 00:46:25.510
multiple extraction zones but as the time is

00:46:25.510 --> 00:46:28.150
timer on the map this one closes in 5 minutes

00:46:28.150 --> 00:46:29.769
this one closes in 10 minutes so obviously the

00:46:29.769 --> 00:46:32.250
longer you stay in you might be the only one

00:46:32.250 --> 00:46:35.110
left but you don't know there's less extraction

00:46:35.110 --> 00:46:38.650
zones to choose from but I've seen videos of

00:46:38.650 --> 00:46:41.489
people like running towards extraction zones

00:46:41.489 --> 00:46:43.489
because they're like bunkers so when you get

00:46:43.489 --> 00:46:46.150
in them the doors will shut and there's people

00:46:46.150 --> 00:46:48.469
been in them like teams and there's like solos

00:46:48.469 --> 00:46:52.480
coming and going hello we can extract together,

00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:56.079
you know. We don't need to fight. Fuck off. Yeah,

00:46:56.139 --> 00:46:57.920
no, I'm killing you. Yeah, but then there's been

00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.019
other people. There's a geezer that was in there.

00:47:00.139 --> 00:47:03.079
He's fucking sniped him, ran in there, and gone,

00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:04.880
don't worry, I'm not going to finish you. And

00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:08.139
just let the geezer that was downed leave with

00:47:08.139 --> 00:47:09.900
him and keep all his gear. So you've got that

00:47:09.900 --> 00:47:11.679
friendly camaraderie as well. I was just taking

00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:13.809
out the threat. So you won't do anything to it.

00:47:14.130 --> 00:47:15.610
And the most interesting part of it of all, which

00:47:15.610 --> 00:47:18.389
I didn't realise, the Ark, which are like the

00:47:18.389 --> 00:47:20.949
robots, like the massive spider things and that.

00:47:21.130 --> 00:47:23.070
I'm watching the trailers on a loop at the moment.

00:47:23.269 --> 00:47:26.530
Their whole design is like, I can't remember

00:47:26.530 --> 00:47:29.010
what they said, not AI, but it's like automated.

00:47:29.050 --> 00:47:31.929
They didn't design it. The computer, the game,

00:47:32.070 --> 00:47:36.150
decides how they move. They didn't design them

00:47:36.150 --> 00:47:40.039
to walk like this. Their whole thing is... dynamic

00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:42.380
things so they change their tactics and stuff

00:47:42.380 --> 00:47:45.280
without any implementation from the developers

00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.099
it'll probably be AI some weird stuff where it's

00:47:49.099 --> 00:47:51.980
like so sometimes you just need to team up with

00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:54.960
people that ain't on your team just to try and

00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:58.280
like fight off these things it's fucking it's

00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:02.619
incredible And I really like the fact of it being

00:48:02.619 --> 00:48:05.099
connected to the finals and then the rich people

00:48:05.099 --> 00:48:07.320
shooting off into space and playing these big

00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.840
hunger games in space while the scums still live

00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:14.400
on Earth or whatever. I've got an article for

00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:18.059
it. However, we overhauled our animation workflow.

00:48:20.139 --> 00:48:25.340
We overhauled our animation workflow with machine

00:48:25.340 --> 00:48:29.280
learning. teaching physically based AI agents

00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.840
to walk on their own instead of animating movement.

00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:39.050
Fuck off. so i don't want that animation is a

00:48:39.050 --> 00:48:41.210
big bottleneck in all game development characters

00:48:41.210 --> 00:48:43.829
or creators or creatures have to be designed

00:48:43.829 --> 00:48:45.989
scripted manually to achieve seemingly realistic

00:48:45.989 --> 00:48:47.929
interactions with the world this makes it hard

00:48:47.929 --> 00:48:50.610
to achieve so over the past two years we've continued

00:48:50.610 --> 00:48:53.309
down the path of physical animation based on

00:48:53.309 --> 00:48:55.730
reinforcement learning in short that means we

00:48:55.730 --> 00:48:58.309
train physically based machines to walk by giving

00:48:58.309 --> 00:49:00.489
them rewards for doing the right things like

00:49:00.489 --> 00:49:03.550
virtual dog treats as you'll see in the examples

00:49:03.550 --> 00:49:05.889
below achieving good movement behaviors can lead

00:49:05.889 --> 00:49:08.829
to more immersive and interesting gameplay where

00:49:08.829 --> 00:49:12.219
the world becomes truly alive. instead our agent

00:49:12.219 --> 00:49:15.099
you can think of it as the ai player observes

00:49:15.099 --> 00:49:17.179
its body and the world around it and decides

00:49:17.179 --> 00:49:19.679
how to move the legs over the next few frames

00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.340
this means that if the agent collides is hit

00:49:22.340 --> 00:49:25.659
by or generates some force by itself it can adapt

00:49:25.659 --> 00:49:28.239
immediately for each unique situation if you

00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.079
trip on a rock or get hit by a snowball you'll

00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:33.760
do something unique every time because no snowball

00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:36.440
or rock is the same and it gives you a little

00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.420
clip of of like one of the crab things like walking

00:49:40.420 --> 00:49:43.159
across some blocks and then being hit by another

00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:49.159
block and then it learning how to react to that.

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.820
It's incredible, isn't it? It's fucking incredible.

00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:56.159
That's mad. That's what I mean. That's why it's

00:49:56.159 --> 00:50:02.400
such an interesting concept. But what they've

00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.099
done here is they've given the robot sentience.

00:50:07.949 --> 00:50:11.269
Because they're saying, like, this clip that

00:50:11.269 --> 00:50:13.090
I'm seeing is one of the crab things falling

00:50:13.090 --> 00:50:15.909
over. And then, like, a caption of it saying,

00:50:16.170 --> 00:50:18.829
I will beat it. Whatever challenge they throw

00:50:18.829 --> 00:50:22.630
at me, I will beat it. And it is because it then

00:50:22.630 --> 00:50:26.030
learns how to deal with that. Which is fucking

00:50:26.030 --> 00:50:28.250
terrifying. Yeah, I know. But it's also great.

00:50:28.510 --> 00:50:31.409
It's fantastic. And this is why it's so interesting.

00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:35.139
Like, oh, it's very, very interesting. Seeing

00:50:35.139 --> 00:50:37.579
a self -taught physics -based creature move and

00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:39.679
react to its surroundings, attempt to balance

00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:41.940
itself and try to continue to move even when

00:50:41.940 --> 00:50:44.480
you throw stuff at it or take away a limb just

00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:46.719
like you would expect it to is really something.

00:50:46.900 --> 00:50:51.599
It gives rise to emergent gameplay moments in

00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:53.860
games that even we as creators of the game could

00:50:53.860 --> 00:50:56.179
never have anticipated. After all, we didn't

00:50:56.179 --> 00:50:59.409
script them, so how could we? Even that in itself

00:50:59.409 --> 00:51:02.289
is just mad, isn't it? So they've added an entire,

00:51:02.489 --> 00:51:09.670
like, enemy, and they don't even know how it's

00:51:09.670 --> 00:51:11.630
going to react. Or they'll know how it's going

00:51:11.630 --> 00:51:12.769
to react, but they don't know how it's going

00:51:12.769 --> 00:51:15.010
to move, or they're just giving it a brain and

00:51:15.010 --> 00:51:16.269
going, well, you figure it out. You've got to

00:51:16.269 --> 00:51:18.309
kill these people, and they're going to try and

00:51:18.309 --> 00:51:21.929
kill you. You crack on, and we'll give you a

00:51:21.929 --> 00:51:23.309
little treat if you kill them. And that's why

00:51:23.309 --> 00:51:24.869
it's so interesting, because you can't just be

00:51:24.869 --> 00:51:27.179
like, oh. Let's glitch it out. Oh, if you do

00:51:27.179 --> 00:51:29.539
this, you get trapped in a loop because you just...

00:51:29.539 --> 00:51:32.579
No, it will work out. You're trying to stick

00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:38.280
me up against this wall. Run! You know what I

00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:40.460
mean? This is very interesting. And then, like

00:51:40.460 --> 00:51:42.920
I say, I've had a big thought about this throughout

00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:47.119
the week, funnily enough, about AI in games.

00:51:47.260 --> 00:51:49.219
And I really do think there is a place for it.

00:51:49.300 --> 00:51:52.059
Not necessarily that, but... I believe there

00:51:52.059 --> 00:51:55.769
is a place for it. I think AI in, like... say

00:51:55.769 --> 00:52:00.829
like for example just for an easy one GTA say

00:52:00.829 --> 00:52:02.929
like you're playing GTA and you just play single

00:52:02.929 --> 00:52:05.369
player or whatever or even multiplayer I don't

00:52:05.369 --> 00:52:08.869
know you want to like just you want new stuff

00:52:08.869 --> 00:52:11.210
all the time but developers can't add new stuff

00:52:11.210 --> 00:52:14.489
all the time so if you give like characters some

00:52:14.489 --> 00:52:18.650
form of artificial intelligence to have their

00:52:18.650 --> 00:52:21.750
own dialogue but make it fit within the game

00:52:21.750 --> 00:52:24.500
you could get Like Cyberpunk, say random people

00:52:24.500 --> 00:52:26.940
come up to you, oh, fucking such and such, nick

00:52:26.940 --> 00:52:29.260
my purse, and then, you know, fuck, whatever.

00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:32.119
But that's like a dynamic event. No one else

00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:34.000
has heard, oh, such and such has nicked my purse.

00:52:34.179 --> 00:52:37.559
It's just an easy example. But the risk of that

00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:40.179
is them saying some weird shit, which is AI.

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:42.480
Yeah, yeah. So they have to, that's when it's

00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:44.539
going to be like, well, hold on, this was...

00:52:44.829 --> 00:52:47.489
racist or this you know that's where that's where

00:52:47.489 --> 00:52:50.050
i think the risk is but being able to have dynamic

00:52:50.050 --> 00:52:52.250
gameplay where people can come up basically give

00:52:52.250 --> 00:52:55.909
you quests for random things that the ai have

00:52:55.909 --> 00:52:59.369
come up yeah i think that is where ai is massive

00:52:59.369 --> 00:53:03.090
like for example fifa the commentary man does

00:53:03.090 --> 00:53:07.250
your head in if ai could artificially create

00:53:07.250 --> 00:53:09.489
commentary throughout the game You wouldn't hear

00:53:09.489 --> 00:53:10.949
the same shit all the time. You could definitely

00:53:10.949 --> 00:53:13.590
work around that. You could definitely fine -tune

00:53:13.590 --> 00:53:16.829
that to a point where you're not going to encounter

00:53:16.829 --> 00:53:21.070
things like AI being racist or saying something

00:53:21.070 --> 00:53:23.429
sexist or something that's going to get you in

00:53:23.429 --> 00:53:25.409
trouble as a developer because you just prompted

00:53:25.409 --> 00:53:28.449
not to do that. You go, here's your parameters.

00:53:29.309 --> 00:53:31.769
Here's your filters. Do not do this. Do not do

00:53:31.769 --> 00:53:33.789
this. Do not do this. But you can do everything

00:53:33.789 --> 00:53:37.539
else. Just not. mention these things because

00:53:37.539 --> 00:53:40.019
we will get in trouble. And then he'll go, actually,

00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.940
I'll do that. It's like things like Red Dead

00:53:42.940 --> 00:53:47.260
Redemption 2 or something. Imagine a game where

00:53:47.260 --> 00:53:51.579
you could go up and talk to an NPC and have an

00:53:51.579 --> 00:53:54.300
actual conversation with them. That would be

00:53:54.300 --> 00:53:56.800
mental. I'm waiting for the time when, because

00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:00.380
I don't, I believe that AI, I'm not someone who's

00:54:00.380 --> 00:54:03.639
scared by AI. I feel like AI should be used as

00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:07.039
a tool. And we use it for work a hell of a lot.

00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:12.679
And it's so easily integrated into the world.

00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.380
I've made pictures of myself where I'm 25 stone

00:54:15.380 --> 00:54:19.019
through ChatGPT because it's funny. But I've

00:54:19.019 --> 00:54:21.800
also used it to fucking help me answer like some

00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:24.360
pretty heavy questions and solve some big problems.

00:54:25.699 --> 00:54:31.059
So it's used as a tool. So I would... openly

00:54:31.059 --> 00:54:33.880
accept it being used in the gaming world as a

00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:37.440
tool to like like with that they just said creating

00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.820
creatures movement and and what they're going

00:54:40.820 --> 00:54:43.280
to do is a bottleneck when it comes to developing

00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:48.360
so allow ai to help you solve that so you still

00:54:48.360 --> 00:54:51.019
make the model and everything and how it looks

00:54:51.019 --> 00:54:54.880
and sounds but let ai do the movement of it and

00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:57.420
if it works it works But I am waiting for the

00:54:57.420 --> 00:55:01.079
day when a game releases and it is 100 % AI.

00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:03.880
Because it's going to happen. It's happened with

00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:06.619
movies. It's happening with music. At some point,

00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:08.219
you are going to get a game, and it's probably

00:55:08.219 --> 00:55:11.260
going to be WAF, or it might not be, where it

00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:15.539
will be fully AI developed. That's the road that

00:55:15.539 --> 00:55:17.920
it will, if it hasn't already and we just don't

00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:19.619
know about it, that will be something that will

00:55:19.619 --> 00:55:21.460
happen. I'm pretty sure Elon Musk said the other

00:55:21.460 --> 00:55:24.280
day they'd be releasing an AI. entire games of

00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:27.000
course they will but yeah no this is what i'm

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:29.360
saying the ai part of it how many times in a

00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.300
game have you been shooting something or fighting

00:55:31.300 --> 00:55:32.920
something and they got stuck on a rock and you're

00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:37.059
going that won't happen yeah it'll just kick

00:55:37.059 --> 00:55:38.619
the rock out the way do you know what i mean

00:55:38.619 --> 00:55:42.519
and that's that's exciting to know that ai can

00:55:42.519 --> 00:55:46.079
um adapt input it can bear grills can't it improvise

00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:49.800
adapt and overcome yeah yeah it can it can do

00:55:49.800 --> 00:55:56.820
everything you want it to do I mean, that could...
