S12 Gameplay trailer discussion

EDIT: Okay disregard this one. This info came from the blog post. I definitely need to read it first. LMAO.

Not from the trailer but a tweet from AlphaIntel, an apex news twitter account. Noticed that he/she is using Crypto testing the new buff/rework. Content creators are already in the early server of S12. The embargo usually ends a week before the launch date. 

@ArchAngeL-PCX @Kyldenar Hope that the anniversary give you heirloom shards rather than this BH skin though. I saved up so much crafting metals for this event for some shards.

Any signs of the select fire?

I wasn't talking about the Hammer-point pop-up (never used it, well before my time in this game), but how the design of the P2020 is analogous to a real-world striker fired pistol (think Glock 17, no hammer semi-auto).  Which is why I don't know why they still think 14 rounds is a good size for a double stack full size pistol. IRL that gun would have about 17 or 18 rounds (the Glock 17 for example, has a default 17 round magazine, and you can buy ones up to 33). In the real world unless the magazine is single stack (and I doubt it) I would think the RE45 _starts_ at 22 rounds. Unless half of that magazine sticking out the bottom is just a counter-weight for recoil control (which is possible).

@Cheese9Manit must be nice that maggie can still have half a passive if the person playing her doesn't want to use a shotgun. Maggie's tactical hard counters rampart walls. I thought Fuse was bad enough, just imagine the 2 of them together? 😔

As for the rest, the new LTM looks like it's gonna be a blast, Maggie looks really strong, (especially her passive and tactical) the battle pass skins (especially the Loba skin) look WAY better than the last one from this season, (11) the anniversary collection skins look really cool, and thank goodness Olympus is back. 

I would take a shot at the BH skin is the level 100/110 BP reward.

Control is the only thing that really interests me besides how they do Maggie.  Are they trying to make game modes to cater to their currently trashed defense characters?  I don't know if it will work, but I think Arenas was always a good add.  This looks better, namely because teams of 9.
