Firefight wtf?

is this seriously 2v2?
this has to be one of the most, if not the most frustrating and god awful events they couldve done.
i HATE controlling these stupid battlewalker leg builds.
but the worst part of this is TWO VS TWO!? seriously!?
is the player base really getting that tiny that you have to do 2v2?

nevermind the fact that these battlewalker builds are ungodly broken to control.
i literally just tried this because i thought it would just be driving around in fire themed vehicles, you know like flamthrowers or heating type weapons. but nope. yeah the crate is not worth getting in this.

seriously… 2v2 what the hell were you all thinking?

Sometimes it’s 3v3 but I think it’s mostly due to them making it a 2 wins needed

While a fresh change to the firefight brawl, I’d prefer it didn’t use the dash legs at all, and all the 2 rounds did was make me feel nostalgic for the Steel Championship (the og one, not the butchered one with side dash boosters and different roles like goalie etc and tusk ram cabins)

Well, it did manage to make me try it out a few times rather than at all. I don’t hate the brawl specifically but with skippable rewards and not being my most favorite thing ever, I just find myself not feeling like bothering to play it instead of regular pvp

honestly id prefer regular pvp then the whole bwl brawl thing. they are so clunky to control and i really hate them.

i would prefer a 6v6 ngl. 6v6 with the orbs cause ive always hated the whole “one life” thing. i know there are gonna be some who disagree but its just personal preference for me.

i wish they didnt use those legs period. idk how people use these things, ive tried using these so many times and they are so clunky and awkward to use that i get so frustrated with them.

Most times I’ve played it, it’s 2 vs 2; maybe every 5th battle, it’s 3 vs 3. I like it better than the version with the hovers; the legs are easier to control. It plays fast, so you can usually be done with it in about 5 minutes, even if it goes to 3 battles.

The first day I played it, I one-shotted an opponent all the way across the map at the very start (pure luck, I’ll admit). It’s not a chore like the hover version is.

2v2 is fun but that god awful walker gameplay should be deprecated from the game altogether

I feel like they don’t maneuver very clunky but that weird bobbing walk they do make this game look so dumb. I would be for them if they were slower and walked more like a robot, and not like a girl skipping through a field of flowers. Clunky is cool, unrealistic bouncy walks is not.

The issues i have with them, notably, are:

  • Lack of building skill required to make an efficient build. I should elaborate there:

For hovers, (some) augers, and wheeled builds, you need to make a good frame structure, then put construction parts properly so your build wouldn’t be a free points courier to the enemy team. For wheels and hovers you also need to consider the CoM (center of mass) and place wheels and hovers in a way that losing a few wouldn’t make your build handle like a flying turd.
For walkers? Naaah bro put a single frame, put some legs onto it and then spam construction parts. That’s it. You’re golden.

  • Your weapons are so high it’s basically impossible to degun you on any normal build
  • Facehugging playstile which pays off on ANY weapon paired with walker legs
  • This annoying bobbing which makes it impossible to reliably shoot the crit spots
  • Batshit insane perks (driver and flamingo are reasonable though)
  • Lots of HP in the leg itself (which is also hard to hit because of the goddamn bobbing)

Any newbie sheepie can make a walker build and they suddenly become a formiddable enemy if you’re also not using a walker/heli. Even if that sheepie can’t build, can’t synergize, doesn’t know what the meta is, has unfused parts… it’s still a walker.

That’s actually a trend i’m seeing right now. Like with crickets

Have a blast ! (no pun) Y’all can have my share of it. Not to my liking or play style. Old guys with wonky reflexes and poor eyesight absolutely stink at it. letting this one pass without me. Enjoy GLHF

This is another issue with walkers, they are slowly turning the game into a fast pace FPS.
