Re: Opinions about gun game?
I've played for probably around 3-4 hours total, all duo queued with my friend. We haven't experienced any strange spawns - not to say it doesn't happen, though!

I put in a few more hours tonight and finished off some 10K dmg challenges. I was also able to get my first game-winning kill.
I love this game mode! It seems much freer of very annoying issues than Control did, and it feels much better as a warmup as well. A mode with scoring based around kills rather than control points feels much more "Apex." It is by far my favorite non-BR LTM so far for sure.
Don't like it at all, really.
3rd party central, do 90% of the work for team mate (or enemy) to steal the kill, the fact that Legends and their abilities are built for BR is even more apparent in this mode than in Arenas.
I did 5 matches the first day to try it, have not touched the mode since. Back to pubs BR for what little event tickets I can manage with minimal engagement/ratting solo.
- @Kyldenar The mode is good for one thing however... I've improved my "leave match" skills considerably playing this mode. Practice make perfect.
? Why did I go from throwing knife back to P2020 after I died? I just cleared P2020 to get the knife.
- @CCbathwater If you are killed via melee, I believe that is when you revert back a tier
- @dSKyNafinchin What? Does this happen at every lvl?
- @CCbathwater You got melee killed. It can happen on any level.
I suspect that people who love hot dropping will love this mode. It's like hot dropping, but with the advantage of always having a weapon in your hand.
I actually love it, outside of the horrific matchmaking. It would be awesome if I didn't have to pit my sub-0.4 K/D against TTVs with 10,000 apex kills every match.
As it stands currently, it's too stressful to enjoy more than a few matches per night. One guy on my team straight out told me, "you don't belong in this group, bro," and I told him "I completely agree with you." As if I want to be playing against enemies who are sniping people using the P2020 from the top of the cliff.
It's crazy how many people are using tap strafing around every corner, vehicle and gunfight, too. I hate tap strafing with a passion. /tapstrafingrant
@LaughingSharko Dunno if the PC MM is different from console. I'm sub-1.0 but when I solo q I generally get quite reasonable lobbies in gun run. I do get that crap when I queue w/ my masters level bud, but that's to be expected.
- @pandareno1999 I played for 3 hours tonight with 2 good players. The level of sweat in the premade lobbies was unreal. We never won a match.
- @hayhor I know right!! What is with that?!
I also noticed how imbalanced Skulltown is as a map. If you spawn on the South side of the map you might as well insta quit. Only the North side have access to the skeleton that overlooks the roof. So only two teams can gain access to free early kills. Totally trash map in every possible way.
@CCbathwaterYour spawns change during the game. The worse spawn is the one where you spawn on the other side of the map from your teammates.
- @hayhor At the beginning.
- @CCbathwater Yeah I know what you mean. Fragment spawning is awful during game if the fighting is always on streamer building. I feel like a place like estates would be a great map for this.
