shadow wars

have you tried it yet?

it popped up on our map last night so 3 of us checked it out.

the area was a fairly good size, and it seems to revolve around capping points.

once we started dying there was no good way to get back together. between the 3 of us 2/3 always had different respawn points available, and no way to rez each other on the spot.

enemey team members are pretty hard to spot/distinguish from your own team. their model colouration is nearly identical and you don't see their name plates until yoru directly mouse over them.

also shotgun seems to be hilariously OP. there was some guy ramboing with one at our spawn point and you couldn't tell who he was until he point blank OHKOed you.

so tyhe concept is interesting but deffo needs some work.

I usually don't enjoy pvp at all, in games.
But I'm tempted to join a Shadow War just to annoy people with bio grenade launchers / Stun grenades ;p

Yep played it and loved it, I also like how the regular none players and mobs can walk through the war.

Here is a link for what ideas I have for it

aww snap! that's right. totally forgot about just joining in whenever. thanks.

I have only managed to get into a shadow war once since launch. Pretty much forget about getting it to pop before late nights. I still dont see how this doesnt manage to get 128 players before those times considering this is a brand new launch and is most likely going to be the peak of the player base this game will ever have.

I counter the bunny hopping shotgun fools by running them over with my 4 wheeler. It's very satisfying. Use the one from the preorder with the extra damage, it's surprisingly easy to kill people. You only need 5 feet to boost into them.
