    surprised Radical Heights wasn't mentioned. a literal dead game that you can't play anymore by a company that doesn't exist anymore. actually had a decent bit of fun with that game, but it was pretty janky and it was obviously extremely unfinished (although there is a team of 3 people attempting to completely remake the game, so we'll see how that goes)

    Blackout will forever hold a special place in my heart, A genuine looter where you had to find guns to win, I know some may not have enjoyed it but as a massive Black Ops fan having the best parts of every map and new parts felt so great, Unlocking characters through challenges like Reznov and Woods were so much fun to me due to how challenging it took, I wish Bo4 had crossplay , maybe many would have a different take on the game

    Something else that helped kill BO4 blackout, it was the pay walled DLC weapons, when they started releasing DLC they were usually locked behind the black market, and those that unlocked them could find them in safes that had hard spawns in the map, anyone who didn't have money for the market tokens couldn't get them, unless they wasted hours grinding

  • @HoboG0blin

    As a massive Fallout meat rider Nuclear Winter was pretty okay from the hours I sank into it back in the day but it had a pretty serious core flaw: the vast majority of your progression came from how long you stayed alive. Combine that with bushes you can crouch inside and a literal ghillie suit that was an event reward at one point you get a lot of people just AFKing in the bushes all around the map. The issue was further compounded by the rewards from Nuclear Winter carrying over to the main gamemode of 76, meaning that a lot of people who wanted a cool looking skin for their Pwer Armor but had 0 interest in BRs could just do the aforementioned AFK strat and get like 80% as much progress towards said rewards as a player actively engaging in combat with other players.

    CS Danger Zone was very easy to get into before CS2 release, I guess there was enough players. I dunno, I think CS' Danger Zone was the best BR take as the Battle Royal concept as a whole - one life and stakes are sky high. True to the original expiration for the whole genre. You don't rely on loot and their arbitrary rarity or numbers or other fantasy game-y stuff, but straight up on your resourcefulness and skills how you tackle unperdictable situations. CS DZ was way slower, methodical and intense. Loved it, really hope it'd make a return in CS2.

      I was looking for a comment about it hah. I miss it too. I'm a die hard RoE fan, even played in an official tournament. The downfall really began with the removal of the snow map. No new map for season 3 or any other season for that matter too. Devs weren't listening to the community and they even scrapped the whole deploy thing that made RoE unique for one season. They came out with a new map when it was too late, all the players had already left and what little players stuck hated the new map, just as a final nail in the coffin. They are shutting down the servers on December 1 and you can't even play offline then. RIP Ring of Elysium, you will be missed.

    On PlayStation at the beginning of fallout 76s nuclear winter i was a top player. One of the first level 100s in the mode. The gamemode was most definitely flawed and 100% broken with certain perk setups. I abused the automatic weapon perks and my lord i shredded anyone if i found a tommy gun or handmade rifle. I found nuclear winter very fun though. Idk why it just had a charm to it for me and i played and took that mode way to serious lol. It had a very small playerbase. the game mode not being free and the game being $60 at the time most definitely was the reason the playerbase for nuclear winter was so small just like the pvp community in the normal mode. I think it only ever reached at most like a few hundred players on at a time. I always ran into the same players over and over again. I wish it wouldve showed stats like how many kills and wins you got. I know i had a lot but man i wouldve loved to see an exact number. Sad to see it go but it was amazing imo. Nukes were super cool in that mode. Ez wins most of the time. Nuclear winter got me into the PVP side of fallout 76. Again PVP was also way broken but in a fun kind of way. Ever sicne legacies got removed (legacies being weapons with legendary effects that got removed from them at a latwr date) i stopped pvping and ever since the pvp community is basically dead. But any ways thats my story of pvp anf nuclear winter. Was great and plenty toxic lol but i made 2 great friends from it i can luckily still call friends to this day

    Rest in peace Planetside: Arena, its entire original premise was scrapped to rush a battle royale mode and remove everything else, which then the game was sunset only months later because none of the players who played Planetside 2 wanted a battle royale, and ESPECIALLY the dev team who didn't want a battle royale either. There are horror stories from former devs who have expressed their distaste with how the game turned out, just look it up on youtube.

    Realm Royale was my favorite BR on release because it originally had a mechanic that allowed you to forge your legendary weapon after getting 1-2 kills. This was a fresh take after spending countless hours dealing with PUBGs 2017 RNG because you would always have your favorite weapon.
    This made the early game fun and exciting hot-dropping to get your chosen weapon early to fight against the lobby. Although this introduced the problem of Bad/New players never getting their weapons because they would lose early game fights against better players while also putting players at a huge disadvantage if unlucky nobody else dropped with them. To "fix" these issues there was a patch that removed the kill points and made the Legendary weapons also world loot, losing the appeal of what made the game great. Every patch until the hiatus majorly changed the game in some way and made it worse as the studio/execs did not know what they wanted the game to become. TBF any class-based game is very hard to balance and make every option viable (see overwatch balance issues).
    In addition to the bad patches that didn't listen to community feedback, they wasted money on streamer tournaments with huge payouts in an attempt to start an esports scene. While the game proved popular enough at first because of this, interest quickly faded and makes the large investment from hi-rez into invitational tourneys could have been instead better spent on improving the content of the game. Additionally the game was PC only and released on xbox after the hype died down.
    I have 364 hours on steam with almost all of them from before the big hiatus patch. It was nice to see the revival from the few devs that still believe in it and the streamer/designer Thor, but it did not fix enough to get me to restart playing the game again, especially when compared to its formal glory.

    Nuclear Winter is still to this day my favorite BR mode, its main downfall was it being basically completely abandoned and never added to after it first being added, so the points around players leaving and removing it for more resources are very much wrong, it saw a loss in players because it was never updated, and its kinda baffling that they would free up any resources at all buy removing it when it was on a skeleton crew in the first place.

    Honestly Fallout 76 being hated is insane. I seen Fallout 4 hate but those are more like "Oh it's more casual and mainstream." Which it was but it still actually was good in some of the ways the game was made. But Fallout 76 was just ripped to shreds from people that played the game, then people that saw gameplay while deciding to skip it. Which I hope doesn't actually stop a "real" sequel to Fallout 4 after Elder Scrolls 6.

    Blackout was actually really, really good. Most people who hate on it probably tried it once or twice and/or just assumed that cod's first attempt at a br wouldn't be good. But blackout is smoother and easier to learn than most BRs out there, and it's really fun too. I think what killed was that the rest of black ops 4 wasn't really worth the pricetag. If blackout was free, I guarantee people would've flocked to it

    I think you forgot to add the context in which Battlefield V Battle Royale mode was conceived.
    Battlefield V was involved in a lot of controversy after Patrick Söderlund's declarations over the historical approach of the game where fans were questioning the realism of women in WW2 frontline combat and called them 'uneducated, his response to the controversy? "either accept it or don't buy the game." This Buried the popularity of the game and condemned the launch, Patrick Soderlund left a few weeks after his declarations, but the damage was already done, then DICE decided to announce the BR mode just exactly when EVERYBODY was doing Royale, we honestly didn't need another one at that point.

    Blackout still remains my favourite BR experience. When Warzone came out, me and my mates expected to not go back to Blackout but we played Warzone for a day or two and hated it, ended up going back and continuing to play Blackout for another year or two, pretty much most days. Even with a lack of player base (most games near the end were always against the same folk) and lack of updates it always had a charm to it. I do appreciate that you can still jump on the game today though and play several modes of the BR, they have the standard experience and then a rotating playlist with two other modes, one that gives you a jet boost and unlimited grapple and another like cops and robbers with lots of cars, both modes allow you to redeploy too, which may have been a first at the time for BR (not 100% sure though, first for me though).
    Yeah, it had issues overall, not free to play, cross platform, the best guns behind paywalls/big grind and some rather annoying glitches like the under the map one. But I just loved the map layout, extra game modes (heavy metal heroes/hot pursuit) and the mechanics, like the grapple gun, mesh mines etc, made for lots of unique plays. I have lots of great memories and clips from the game and just haven't found anything that matches it for me so far.

    The Culling was a masterpiece. I miss it so much. I think it being so melee centric was awesome. Getting a gun was pretty tough. If i remember right, there was only a pistol, and someone would only get one every like 10 games. It made it so much more intense when you heard a gunshot in the distance, knowing you're going to have to try and take them out with a spear or something. The Finals 100% drew inspiration from The Culling. The whole atmosphere is the same. A big game show arena, with the announcer taunting you. The crafting system and the atmosphere were SO good. It was my favorite BR ever I think.
