First Impressions of the Update (PS4)
For the longest time, I've vouched for this game against the barrage of hate and negativity. I think there are a few things that could take this game from good to great, and this update is a good start.
Positives
1. The rewards are actually really good! The Wraith skin is super dope and the other skins are pretty cool as well.
2. The challenges are one of the small things that will add longevity to this game and keep people coming back for more. They're easy enough to complete in two weeks, but challenging enough to keep you saying, "Just one more game."
3. The Mirage buff is greatly appreciated! 🙂
Needs Work
1. I've never had many issues with lag on PS4, but I noticed every match (about 7 or 8 in a row) in the Elite Queue, the red clock was in the top right corner of the screen. The delay when looting and shooting was clear. I could jump back in the regular queue and be fine.
2. Speaking of the Elite Queue - I appreciate this is a way to create some separation in game modes and player types, but unfortunately it doesn't do well at either. There's an even bigger skill gap - players who camped the previous game are now part of this queue, and players who have 10,000 kills with a million damage are in the queue (and this is the very first time I've seen that many kills and that much damage since playing). I think a better prerequisite would be the amount of damage/kills or something. I understand there is an option to play regular or elite, but as it sits, it's not quite the answer. I do appreciate the initiative, though!
These are the first things that come to mind. I only played for a couple of hours last night, but feel free to leave your thoughts and feedback (PS4 users)! Thanks Respawn for these changes! We're excited for Season 2!
