Reason why Timesplitters 2 is in the game is because Dambuster Studios (previously Crytek UK which was previously Free Radical Designs) were the creators of Timesplitters. They were also working on the original Battlefront 3 which was 99% completed when the project was cancelled bankrupting them resulting in them being acquired by Crytek where they made Crysis 2, 3, and Warface. They had started on Homefront the Revolution while still under Crytek, but then Crytek went bankrupt so they sold them and the Homefront IP to Deep Silver where they were rebranded to Dambuster Studios. They are currently working on Dead Island 2 which they started from scratch after being put on the project when Deep Silver was acquired by THQ Nordic in 2018. Oh, not to mention that Homefront 2 started out with THQ as the publisher hiring Crytek UK to make it, but THQ went bankrupt, and Crytek won the bid for the Homefront IP. The original Homefront 2, which was just going to be Homefront 1 with better graphics thanks to the CryEngine, was scrapped, and work on Homefront the Revolution was started. And then development hell struck. So in about a 3 year period, Dambuster went through 3 publisher changes and a studio transition, and the Homefront IP went through three pairs of hands. Now Dambuster is back under THQ Nordic where Homefront 2 all began.
I thought the cancelled Battlefront 3 game was made by Pandemic Studios and not Free Radical Design? Also, Crytek didn't really go bankrupt. It was a corporate restructuring. The only Crytek studios that got shut down were their external locations in Hungary, Bulgaria, South Korea and China with their US branch being morphed into a support studio. Crytek is still very much alive today and have even just announced Crysis 4 not too long ago.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee Pandemic made the first two, but Free Radical Designs were the primary developer for III. Crytek never filed for bankruptcy, but they were basically right on the verge bankrupt. They didn't have any money and couldn't pay any of their devs. They were able to avoid bankruptcy by selling out and closing down their studios. They went from 9 studios to 3 in about 3 years. Cyrtek USA was supposed to maintain limited operations as an engine support studio, but what devs remained after the layoffs left anyways due to them not receiving wages, and the studio was officially shutdown. Crytek survived by the skin of their teeth. The Crytek USA devs along with former Vigil Games devs would form Gunfire Games and went on to make games like Herobound, Darksiders II and III, and Remnant.
this game's plot always confused me a little because there's a character that regularly and correctly points out when the resistance is doing incredibly stupid and reckless things and then the resistance does them anyway and it goes absolutely nowhere it does make the big final assault look like a complete clown show which is funny
I felt like it was the devs trying to be meta and say "look we know this story is pretty convoluted and dumb but it's fun so enjoy the slop you pigs" and tbh I appreciated it. You can see a lot of the makings of a good game in here, and the devs worked pretty hard to make a fun guerilla war style fps which I think they nailed. The whole game feels like a cheap 70s action flick a la Red Dawn, which is really all you could ever want out of a game like Homefront.
The big final assault was hilarious to me. You get there, the guy hops on the radio, he calls out to the peoiple... "SO UH YEAH A LOT OF YOU, A LOT OF YOU GOING TO DIE BUT VIVA LA REVOLUTION YEAH LETS GO GUYS YEAAA!!" like did you not prepare for this speech AT ALL-
I bought it twice when I was helping in the Discord to unlock the entirety of TimeSplitters 2, so I was forced to actually play it and I did enjoy it a bit.
Same story here, that final section of the game is what really solidified it as a great title to me. TS2 was just a heck of a bonus on top! Fun fact: the modding community on PC has gotten a hold of TS2 from this and have made quite a few cool mods. My personal favorite has to be the playable John Vattic (from Second Sight, an absolute underrated gem from the creators of TS)
@@doitallYT The DLC really adds to the story, especially Beyond the Walls. I actually found myself enjoying this game far more than I thought I would, sure some mechanics are frustrating and BS but aside from them it's a solid game with a decent story. I genuinely want a sequel given how Beyond the Walls ended. Also, anyone know if the multiplayer is still up and alive?
The idea of an open world modern warfare game, not far cry, is something that i have searched for for years. I can't believe there aren't more games like this.
@@xxillusivemanxx1046 There’s an Arma 3 mod called antistasi, where you run a resistance, and there’s a mod for that mod where you play as the polish resistance in WW2.
It's so obvious that the KPA were placeholders for China, which they didn't want to upset when making this game. It's literally where you could swap Chinese troops in for the KPA and it would actually make sense, storywise. The threat of China making most of our electronics, including critical infrastructure, is a real one. But God forbid we upset the people that supply our phones and tablets.

By the end of Crysis 3 the suit has fused itself compleately with Alcatraz body and Prophets mind has interfaced with the suit for a long time, the simbiotic relation betwen them has created a "copy" of Prophets contiousness in the suits deep layers, so the copy of Prophets contiousness stored in the suit deep layers has taken over Alcatraz mind (Alcatraz was dying and weak when he got in the suit, this might have had an effect on his ability to possibly resist). So the suit outer layer has molded itself to the image of Prophets body. The suit IS Prophet now. I belive that neighter Prophet himself nor Hargreve did even know that the suit could do any of this.
@@bigbear1293 I think he was probably aware of it, but there was nothing he could have possibly done to prevent that, since it was the suit working on its own terms. Just like you cant realy kill yourself by holding your breath, your body will eventualy breathe if you want it or not. And he did look pretty real to me when he shot himself, he might have had an idea because he said "It wont let me go that easily, I've got to break the link" It looks to me as if the nanosuit 2 at the time of Crysis 2 was not really understood even by Hargreve, since there are some missions that are basicaly like "Hey there Alcatraz, throw yourself into an Alien goo and lets hope the suit can interface with an Alien vírus and create a cure for it on its own". They just didnt understand how far the suit powers could go to preserve that link.
Addendum: in crysis 3 you play AS the suit. Alcatraz dies by the end of crysis 2, and his/prophets mind are just echoes in the suits AI.

Disabling minimap, detection indicators, crosshair, hitmarkers and optionally objective markers transforms this game. There's an audiovisual queue for pretty much everything: - audible enemy and civilian reactions; - stashes marked on walls; - blood splashes on impact as 'natural' hitmarkers; - arm placed on cover to show you can peak; - lower crouch position and darker screen means you're hidden; - radio chatter calling out buildings that serve as capturable outposts; - blinking red light showing you're targeted by a sniper; - unintrusive highlights of interactive items; - radio stutter near radios and a beeping sound when near a stash; - phone for when you need your map or to place a marker.

I know this is a year old comment but I learned recently that the literal pitch the dev team had for this game was ‘open world Half-Life 2’, so the multiple references (G-Man, C17, etc.) are likely 100% intentional. It’s really weird to me because it certainly LOOKS the part and if you had asked me I’d assume at least the basic sort of aesthetic of the city and enemy factions were Half-Life 2 inspired, but the influence goes as far back as to the stage of pitching a Homefront sequel.
@donkey Kong country master Depends on what you're playing on and what you want. There's a code to unlock the entire story, one for Arcade, one for challenge mode, there were some other codes but some we never knew what they did and I don't know if anyone ever figured out what they did, I know there's also an invincibility one though. I think some websites have put out the codes in some guides, but if not, I still have them and one other server member, Yossarian, I know put a guide on Steam with the codes, and the Discord has them pinned as well.
The best part was unlocking timesplitters, the worst part is that it doesn't really work because whenever an alien spawns in timesplitters the game crashes.
Good job, you got far in the game, I appreciate seeing that, I hate when TH-camrs but a game play level 1-2 and turn it off never to see it again because it's been refunded or uninstalled
The really cool thing about the time splitters 2 build in this game is according to a dev, networking actually works. If someone were to somehow get two arcade machines to spawn in a coop lobby, multiplayer should work.
I've said it before, after they fixed the bugs and fleshed the game out with DLC this game became very solid. There is a TON of content here and the shooting/sabotage mechanics are very satisfying. Edit: it's still big dumb that you never unlock the enemy weapons. Absolute waste.
Yeah I'd love to try out their compact sniper rifle. I hate it when you can't pick up enemy weapons. So unrealistic. They made the same design choice in Dying Light 2. A great game BTW.
I still have the poster for this game on my wall. Got it from a closing GameStop after it was put on hiatus, I keep it there to remind me to give games a chance, to form my own opinions. And that the receiver swapping system is still really cool.
Homefront 2 was ahead of the curve with its NPC combat AI, which had been surprisingly well-developed for its time. -Bugs still persist; yet, the open world, recurrent set-pieces, and varied combat still remains much different from many mainstream FPS. Gun upgrades; gear upgrades; and, one of the best open worlds with random encounters alongside story beats. . . Lengthy campaign with several excellent add-ons offer still more variety. Enemy placement varies each time a level loads; varied environments; enemy patterns and their numbers make for a gameplay experience that is different each play-through. /shrug
@@danieldyson1660 not really, most games now days have worse issues than homefront 2 did on launch. It also varies from person to person and some issues are platform exclusive.
I just really like the atmosphere. Gameplay is fine, story is meh, but the atmosphere is so great, mostly due to the beaautiful lighting the CryEngine delivers
I have no problem with the story. It's a Red Dawn situation. If you okay this game and then Far Cry 6, you see similarities between both games dealing with a communistic regime.
When this game launched, it was an unplayable mess. The game ran at 20 fps and dropped every time something happens. It was patched a few months later where it was able to maintain a solid 30 fps. It pretty much became a budget title. For that, it’s not bad. Although you have to stomach a pretty terrible story.
The multiplayer is so cool but it’s dead. I was barely able to find a game, two years ago, when I got it on a steam sale. The character customization in the multiplayer was so good too
Homefront: The Revolution is a game where I can understand why some people don't like it, especially in it's absolutely atrocious launch state. However, I actually enjoyed this game. I like the customization of the weapons, the world is surprisingly interesting, and the gunplay isn't as bad as some people say it is (although it is somewhat unbalanced).
Yep. There's some mods that just rips timesplitters 2 and it's files out of the game. It's also been adjusted for modern resolutions and has K&M controls.
I think a really thick tomato is what is gonna have to replace the beyond meat in Burger King burgers after they shut down due to the coo just getting arrested for biting someone’s ear haha
Man, imagine how much money the studio could make if they just released Timesplitters 2 on modern consoles. Yes you can get the original Xbox version online, but the other console owners would love it.
I literally bought an Xbox One just to play Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect on a modern console and in HD. (And obviously, I also had to buy those two games again as well, since I owned the PS2 versions.) Best, purchase, EVER!
I unironically love this game it's like a low clout first person variant of Red Faction Guerilla AND it has Timesplitters 2 (an amazing game) just hanging out in it.
To this day that stupid ambient wasteland music lives rent free in my head. Just jogging around and all you hear is _"Do-do-do - do-do-do-doooo - do do...do do...do do - do-do-do-doooo-"_ on loop *ENDLESSLY*
The "Official Allotment" sign also happens to have the number 17 on it, it says C17 right there. Guess you really did see seventeen with that impact font eyeball
Day 811 of trying to get Oboe to play through skyrim as sigurd. The issue with this game is that the TIME spent playing is SPLIT once you get to timesplitters 2 and play that in its entirety because it’s better
I just started this game, and it feels really interesting, i like the not so great graphics and raw gameplay, it feels like a real game and not just some simulatjon trying to be realistic and have over the top graphics.. im having fun with in the middle of 2023
I love this game. I have it on my PS4 right now and i bought all the DLCs for it. This game was overlooked so bad at release cause it was a bit buggy but it was so much fun, at least for me anyways. The DLCs are worth getting as well. I'd recommend this game. Plus multiplayer isn't that bad either.
Remember that shift from CRT and plasma to LCD, and then the developers just kind of lost their their visual spectrum and depth of color, and they were trying to do what was on TV because the TV was using the digital cameras that didn't have a lot of dynamic range.. and they were also scared of black.. and so everything looks pink.. all the gore is Pink bright bubblegum pink! From soft is still doing that.. I wish people would just not ever do that.
I loved this game until it left me in a mission glitched in a wall; it autosaved. And somehow it boots back into the wall, I think I was on the last mission too, so that sucked.
Gotta say, the wasteland settings look fucking beautiful at dawn and dusk and each region has it's own flavor of destroyed Americana, I must have taken 200 screenshots. Shame the combat is kind of weak because the presentation is fantastic and the DLC is actually pretty dope.
Ya, I got this on a huge discount, like 7 bucks. Idk, the map areas I didn't fall in love with, but it did have mechanics I enjoyed, like hiding in trashcans. I tried playing co op missions, which I saw gameplay of that might be fun, didn't find any good players, only Rambo non mic players, so you could imagine what that looked like. Also, they presented it like it was "open world" but it was just sections of the city so just level areas. And there was little reason to ever go back to previous sections after completing. So ya, if it's on sale for 5 to 10 buck range, ya, you'll get some enjoyment out of it
you don't take the suit off, you land from orbit on the same island from 1st game and your suit integrated with aliens that it can change your appearance, so inside suit there's Alcatraz dead rotting body and outside you look like Prophet
if they changed the teams in this game it would be faaar more believable. Instead playing as American in occupied USA, it would be more believable to play as Koreans under USA.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I didn't feel I could replay this game, however to get mods that was able to extract ts2 out of the main game was the most handy thing ever
I didn't think oboeshoes would like this, but i'm suprised. Gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed this game too, the "beyond the walls" DLC is by far the best part.
I thought I was going to watch a review but this was perhaps better. You're more amusing than the average TH-camr. Also I think they had microtransactions early on but removed them, which is why the loot crates remain.

It’s got a HD remaster of TimeSplitters hidden in it. So it’s worth the price just for that.
@@patrickbyrne5070 i found that, only had the first 2 levels tho
@@loafofbeans8291 No, it's the entire game, you just have to put some codes in.
@donkey Kong country master Depends on what you're playing on and what you want. There's a code to unlock the entire story, one for Arcade, one for challenge mode, there were some other codes but some we never knew what they did and I don't know if anyone ever figured out what they did, I know there's also an invincibility one though. I think some websites have put out the codes in some guides, but if not, I still have them and one other server member, Yossarian, I know put a guide on Steam with the codes, and the Discord has them pinned as well.
kids?
At 9:32, when you were making fun of the woman for saying she "hacked" the elevator, one of the NPC's called her a "genius".... Hahahaha
Just bought this one for 1.99 on Xbox. It came with all the dlc and also has that juicy FPS boost!
The best part was unlocking timesplitters, the worst part is that it doesn't really work because whenever an alien spawns in timesplitters the game crashes.
Quick cutting to the edge of a building's rooftop actually spooked me and I'm not normally afraid of heights.
Good job, you got far in the game, I appreciate seeing that, I hate when TH-camrs but a game play level 1-2 and turn it off never to see it again because it's been refunded or uninstalled
This game really is underrated. It's like a nice 7 Crysis' out of 10 Prophets.
The really cool thing about the time splitters 2 build in this game is according to a dev, networking actually works. If someone were to somehow get two arcade machines to spawn in a coop lobby, multiplayer should work.
I never finished it but pretty fun, picked it up on sale for 3 4 and it certainly delivered that amount of fun with rocket launcher fireworks
This game is decent if you get it at a discount.
I've said it before, after they fixed the bugs and fleshed the game out with DLC this game became very solid. There is a TON of content here and the shooting/sabotage mechanics are very satisfying.
Edit: it's still big dumb that you never unlock the enemy weapons. Absolute waste.
Yeah I'd love to try out their compact sniper rifle. I hate it when you can't pick up enemy weapons. So unrealistic. They made the same design choice in Dying Light 2. A great game BTW.
Lol "i have to actually play the game to unlock loot crates?... this game sucks!" Got me
I still have the poster for this game on my wall. Got it from a closing GameStop after it was put on hiatus, I keep it there to remind me to give games a chance, to form my own opinions. And that the receiver swapping system is still really cool.
Homefront 2 was ahead of the curve with its NPC combat AI, which had been surprisingly well-developed for its time. -Bugs still persist; yet, the open world, recurrent set-pieces, and varied combat still remains much different from many mainstream FPS. Gun upgrades; gear upgrades; and, one of the best open worlds with random encounters alongside story beats. . . Lengthy campaign with several excellent add-ons offer still more variety. Enemy placement varies each time a level loads; varied environments; enemy patterns and their numbers make for a gameplay experience that is different each play-through. /shrug
I enjoyed this one a lot when it came out, never understood the hate it received
Wasn’t it stupidly buggy on release?
@@danieldyson1660 not really, most games now days have worse issues than homefront 2 did on launch. It also varies from person to person and some issues are platform exclusive.
@@Foxhound94 The issue is "nowadays". Broken games on release used to get month-long coverage on gaming news websites. Now it's just another Friday.
@@danieldyson1660 It was
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD The amount of tolerance for crashes these days is astounding. MW2 crashes on me every 3 games and I lose all of that round’s xp.
I just really like the atmosphere. Gameplay is fine, story is meh, but the atmosphere is so great, mostly due to the beaautiful lighting the CryEngine delivers
So cool running around at night hiding from patrols.
I have no problem with the story. It's a Red Dawn situation. If you okay this game and then Far Cry 6, you see similarities between both games dealing with a communistic regime.
I genuinely enjoyed this game. So much so I bought all DLCs as well which continues the story from the ending
When this game launched, it was an unplayable mess. The game ran at 20 fps and dropped every time something happens. It was patched a few months later where it was able to maintain a solid 30 fps. It pretty much became a budget title. For that, it’s not bad. Although you have to stomach a pretty terrible story.
I was about to go to bed but, you must understand, this is an oboeshoesgames video.

"Copy that, Copy."

4:11 No, we need to secure Burger Town
The multiplayer is so cool but it’s dead. I was barely able to find a game, two years ago, when I got it on a steam sale. The character customization in the multiplayer was so good too
Homefront: The Revolution is a game where I can understand why some people don't like it, especially in it's absolutely atrocious launch state. However, I actually enjoyed this game. I like the customization of the weapons, the world is surprisingly interesting, and the gunplay isn't as bad as some people say it is (although it is somewhat unbalanced).
"So yeah the entirety of Time Splitters 2 is in this game as an easter egg"
*spit take* WHAT?
Yep. There's some mods that just rips timesplitters 2 and it's files out of the game. It's also been adjusted for modern resolutions and has K&M controls.
I love that the protagonists being mute almost costs the character their life
I do always want some fire when I go out for my morning paper, so it's good to know this game has both stores.

Lol homefront the Revolution might be the one 7/10 game ever that’s still underrated af
Man, imagine how much money the studio could make if they just released Timesplitters 2 on modern consoles.
Yes you can get the original Xbox version online, but the other console owners would love it.
I literally bought an Xbox One just to play Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect on a modern console and in HD. (And obviously, I also had to buy those two games again as well, since I owned the PS2 versions.)
Best, purchase, EVER!
When Oboeshoes says a game is pretty ok, that's when you know it's pretty ok.
My favorite part of the game was when I got hard locked out of continuing because the prompt to open doors failed. Thanks Homefront!
I unironically love this game it's like a low clout first person variant of Red Faction Guerilla AND it has Timesplitters 2 (an amazing game) just hanging out in it.
To this day that stupid ambient wasteland music lives rent free in my head. Just jogging around and all you hear is _"Do-do-do - do-do-do-doooo - do do...do do...do do - do-do-do-doooo-"_ on loop *ENDLESSLY*
The thing about Homefront: The Revolution is… I support North Korea. I basically win the game by not turning it on.
The rain effects in this game are the best part
The "Official Allotment" sign also happens to have the number 17 on it, it says C17 right there. Guess you really did see seventeen with that impact font eyeball
Alot of people hated this game but in my opinion I loved this game
This game surprised me with how much I actually ended up liking playing it
Day 811 of trying to get Oboe to play through skyrim as sigurd.
The issue with this game is that the TIME spent playing is SPLIT once you get to timesplitters 2 and play that in its entirety because it’s better
2:50 is that the guy on the phone in thief simulator?
Yo that intro jingle was on point. Love the videos man keep up the good work
I just started this game, and it feels really interesting, i like the not so great graphics and raw gameplay, it feels like a real game and not just some simulatjon trying to be realistic and have over the top graphics.. im having fun with in the middle of 2023
Another cool improv song by oboeshoes! Truly a work of art.

@@AnthonyPompa nah axis of evil propaganda was still alive and well
@@BIacklce It was a weird time lol.
@@AnthonyPompa still strong, just shifted to russo-sinophobia (which is a little more reasonable if hyperbolic at times)
I love this game. I have it on my PS4 right now and i bought all the DLCs for it. This game was overlooked so bad at release cause it was a bit buggy but it was so much fun, at least for me anyways.
The DLCs are worth getting as well. I'd recommend this game. Plus multiplayer isn't that bad either.
i tried to play this game on pc but an inescapable black void slowly consumed the entire screen
I think Crysis 3 ending implies he and the suit are like fused together now and he’s not human anymore
Remember that shift from CRT and plasma to LCD, and then the developers just kind of lost their their visual spectrum and depth of color, and they were trying to do what was on TV because the TV was using the digital cameras that didn't have a lot of dynamic range.. and they were also scared of black.. and so everything looks pink.. all the gore is Pink bright bubblegum pink! From soft is still doing that.. I wish people would just not ever do that.
I loved this game until it left me in a mission glitched in a wall; it autosaved. And somehow it boots back into the wall,
I think I was on the last mission too, so that sucked.
Home front 2: I can’t believe it’s not Ubisoft
This game’s story is a bit weird but this game does have a special place in my heart
"Holy crap I eyeballed that and definitely didn't just say the last number I saw?!"
Is something wrong with the volume? I can't hear anything on the video
Wendies do have a pretty cool twitter account.... so it is indeed a good start.
I love this game, don't care lol The DLC ending made me wish we'd gotten a third game.
I get that its in the cry engine but I was like where is he going with this explanation of the trilogy then I lol
Not even Oboe's entertaining commentary is enough to get me interested or invested into the Homefront games lol
Word!
Gotta say, the wasteland settings look fucking beautiful at dawn and dusk and each region has it's own flavor of destroyed Americana, I must have taken 200 screenshots. Shame the combat is kind of weak because the presentation is fantastic and the DLC is actually pretty dope.
When he was talking about how he liberated Wendy's I got a Wendy's ad
0:53 I need to see Johnathan Ferguson react to this so badly
Ya, I got this on a huge discount, like 7 bucks. Idk, the map areas I didn't fall in love with, but it did have mechanics I enjoyed, like hiding in trashcans. I tried playing co op missions, which I saw gameplay of that might be fun, didn't find any good players, only Rambo non mic players, so you could imagine what that looked like.
Also, they presented it like it was "open world" but it was just sections of the city so just level areas. And there was little reason to ever go back to previous sections after completing. So ya, if it's on sale for 5 to 10 buck range, ya, you'll get some enjoyment out of it
I remember buying this day 1 and it being bugged to hell. It still runs like shit even tho i got a 5600x and 5700xt
you don't take the suit off, you land from orbit on the same island from 1st game and your suit integrated with aliens that it can change your appearance, so inside suit there's Alcatraz dead rotting body and outside you look like Prophet
omg, I remember playing this game, it was so damn glitchy and confusing, I cant believe a video came out about it, i thought it was lost to the years!
In the beginning yes. But now with all the patches it's okay. Dambuster Studios are finishing Dead Island 2.
@@mr.2cents.846 i wasnt really hating on it, i still played it a good bit
Homefront duology are so good and homefront the revolution is my favorite because of custom gun and open area
Yah I remember seeing a trailer for this when G4 had a TV channel and did a week of E3 coverage and I remember it being pretty good looking.
if they changed the teams in this game it would be faaar more believable.
Instead playing as American in occupied USA, it would be more believable to play as Koreans under USA.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, I didn't feel I could replay this game, however to get mods that was able to extract ts2 out of the main game was the most handy thing ever
This is an underrated game. Cool features and great story and characters.
Ironfall for 3DS is also suprisingly good, you should play it
Oboeshoes should definitely play Vanquish. Haven't seen much content on the game, I think it would make some great content for this channel.
Errr I'm still stuck at 99 percent everything I do it never goes to 100 how did u do it
I love open-world games and had a lot of fun with FC series, but I couldn't play homefront for more then a few hours, even in coop
It's made by Crysis 3 devs, so... Yeah. Gimmicky and transaction-y.
@@teslashark isnt crysis made by crytek?
@@teslashark idiot..
Alright, I can't take it any more. What's the outro song?
I didn't think oboeshoes would like this, but i'm suprised.
Gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed this game too, the "beyond the walls" DLC is by far the best part.
...You might've sold a copy now that I know TimeSplitters 2's in it.
That graphics look really good?! For such an old game
I thought I was going to watch a review but this was perhaps better. You're more amusing than the average TH-camr. Also I think they had microtransactions early on but removed them, which is why the loot crates remain.
