THEY FINALLY DID IT!!!
We finally got Solos back after 4 years of asking for it! We have to do everything in our power to make it successful so they make it permanent!

Maybe, lets see if it works better than the last time.
However it should not replace duos.
In fact removing duos for 6 weeks for this is IMHO is a very, very bad move and should not have happened.
Meh. I mean, it looked okay when they showcased it on ALGS. But will it play out like that in real life, or will 30/50 just jump into Fragment and then it ends up as boring as normal BR?
Plus, it's got auto-heal, i.e. yet another anti-Lifeline mode. 🤡

Auto heal is the tip of the iceberg. The mode is filled with shortcuts and bandaids for players who are lazy or stupid. Or both. Mostly both. I will never understand why so many players left the arena shooters of five and ten years ago to come to battle royale games and then just endlessly complain about how they don't like any of the game features that differentiate BR from arena. I'm mystified.@reconzero yeah like finding whole attached guns on ground everywhere, it's fine, but since you're solo it also shouldn't be a problem simply finding all the attachments for yourself either
@damsonwhufndthisyeah i don't understand why they did that with weapons.
it feel super bad when you have to chose between a white weapon you like and a golden weapon you hate
- @reconzero The issue with arenas shooters is the lack of map variety and gameplay variety. It becomes really repetitive. BR on large maps means fights in different POIs and potentially fighting multiple teams and people. It's different each game. The only arenas shooter style game that holds my interest is the Finals because there's all kinds of options for playstyle, multiple teams in a match and everything can be destroyed, changing the map on the fly.

"The issue with arenas shooters is the lack of map variety and gameplay variety."
Agreed. And I would say that the way they've designed the solos mode shows me that they're very willing to start the slide toward lack of variety. Three Strikes. Straight Shot. Now solos. All designed to chip away at the pace, scale, and complexity of battle royale as it exists in trios and duos.
And that's okay. I'm a big believer in giving the people what they want. Even if that thing is, irrationally, what they left behind a long time ago.
