In most FPS games — and in battle royale-style games in particular — players who have the high ground have serious advantages. High ground positioning makes it easier to spot enemies, to block their shots using the jutting edge of the terrain and to more easily get headshots against oppone

The Longbow DMR fires a bit slower and does less damage on leg shots, though the G7 Scout saw a flat increase to damage done. The Hemlok does more damage but fires a bit slower, and the Mozambique was made to be more accurate. The L-Star took a damage nerf, but now has reduced recoil and comes standard with a Digital Threat sc

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

Most problematic was that the Battle Pass lacked the creative challenges seen in Fortnite , which make acquiring tiers quick and fun. This meant that, in Apex Legends , the only way to level up was to play the game over and over again with no specific plan in mind. The grind was real, the rewards were unappealing, so few bothered to continue as a res

Apex Legends ' third season went live last week, freshening up the free-to-play battle royale experience with an entire arsenal's worth of exciting new content and balancing adjustments. There's an inventive new weapon, a brand new Legend, and of course, an all new map. To sum it all up, this is definitely the biggest content update to hit the game so

The second season of Apex Legends offered something many fans didn't even know was going to be a part of it, which was new limited-time modes for players to experience. The most popular of these modes was a single-player version of the base 3 vs. 3 mode, and also one that only spawned snipers and shotguns on the

Respawn has done a good job at spacing out the addition of new weapons and in exchange have added mods that make previously horrible or low-tier guns somewhat usable. Adding new guns changes the game in major ways, as it can change the learning curve of the game as players have one more gun to become familiar w

Fundamentally, the game looks to be identical on mobile devices. Despite being on a phone instead of a high end PC, "on mobile, this works very well. We had to make a few small changes, for instance, we added a rear-view button on mobile, because you cannot look behind you as easily as with a mouse and keyboard or controll

As Dead by Daylight is strictly an online, multiplayer game, it lives or dies by the size of its player base. In a recent announcement post leading up to the release of the game on the Nintendo Switch, the possibility of cross play was raised but addressed as not being planned between platfo

Fortnite is on track to earn $3.5 billion this year in revenue by often treating its consumers with respect, and Apex Legends could have taken a slice of that pie were it not so focused only on having consumers spend in the game through predatory practices. This kind of behavior can only last for so long before even the most devoted fans of the PS5 Game comparison decide that they have had eno

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

One added benefit of a coordinated push in this manner is that it makes it harder for opponents to shoot the pushing player’s team. When players are close to the side of a mountain or platform means the enemy often has to look straight down to shoot, making it tough for them to line up the perfect shot and requiring them to stand right on the edge to get a good line of sight. The pushing team can use this to their own advantage to laser a player trying to line up their downward-facing s

Every season brings with it a new competitor to the Apex Games, and the upcoming third season is no different. Crypto will be making his entrance, and, though not much is known in regards to his in-game abilities, Respawn did release an animated short giving a glimpse into Crypto's life before his evolut

In addition, there was also speculation that the game would be a dominant entrant in eSports, as it offers players a more consistent experience than games like Fortnite , which has been criticized for its constant change. Right now, Fortnite is giving the world a perfect example of its problematic and hasty updates, with BRUTE Mechs dominating most games and almost every pro player and organization begging Epic Games to remove the unbalanced items from competitive matc
