That do you enjoy playing the most?

Who do you prefer to use while playing?  Your main character or perhaps just your favorite that you don't play even often.

THE poll to deciding the most loved Battlefield game of all time!

A new edition of Destiny is coming and at $100 for new players or $25 for players with up-to-date DLC packs is now arrival for pre order!

Here is the Edition details, listed as of 12/07/2021:

Halo Infinite’s surprise launch and solid gameplay have been loved by many gamers, both casual and competitive alike. However, the game is not perfect, as players rush to point out the game’s terrible cosmetic system and horrible XP progression, other players have noticed some oddities about the ranked play of the game.

Players trying to get the most out of the competitive side of Halo have reported numerous matches where players are not all equal in rank.  This has caused some uproar as it means lower-skilled players are being placed with higher-skilled players in competitive matches.  Unequal player ranks also defeat a major part of the concept of having a “ranked” system if the ranks get mixed anyway.

343 has confirmed this as a feature of the game as they currently place players on ranked teams to balance the team, not the players.  This concept does have a few good merits as it allows for mixed players to matchmake as a team, but for solo players, it is discouraging when you are not matched with players of your skill to make the team balanced. 

However, after a Twitter posting, 343’s Junyszek has posted that they are looking into making this system better and seemed to confirm that random matchmaking should not be balancing teams when it isn’t needed.  We have no idea what those changes will be or how they will affect groups, but the ranked system needs numerous aid as players continue to face unequal teams, 3v4 starts, and cross-platform cheats.

As Halo Infinite takes over the FPS world, players have not enjoyed the painfully slow progressive system of the game’s Battle Pass due to terrible XP gains and lackluster challenges.  343 has announced today their first step towards fixing this problem will be increased to the daily game XP bonuses.  Instead of a near-pointless 50XP single game bonus, the game will have 300XP boosts for the first game and slowly work down to 50XP for the 7th+ game you play.

343 hopes this change will encourage players to continue playing daily while also rewarding those who are heavy gamers and play numerous matches per day.  Some have pointed out that the game is still in Beta and once the missing content is added, the XP problem should get better along the way.  However, with the current limited-time events, the start of Season 1, and numerous other marketing tools, it is extremely hard to say that 343 is not pushing this as the full game.

Junyszek of 343, also stated that bigger changes were in the works to help fix the XP problems but did not add any details to what those changes may be.  For those curious, players can now rank up one level of the Battle Pass each day simply by playing 6 matches with the new XP system as that would add 1000XP (the required amount per level). 

Hopefully, this is the start of a series of fixes to compliment the excellent gameplay of Halo Infinite with a store and cosmetic system that doesn’t feel so “money-hungry mobile game” like.

The second chapter of the hit battle royale game Fortnite is coming to a close with a large event on December 4th at 4 PM EST.  The event is called “The End” and will be a one-time-only event that Epic Games seems to be hinting at the final moments for the current map.

The event will need to compete with an excellent end to Chapter 1 where a massive black hole destroyed the map and Chapter 2 released a few days later with a new map.  While highly suspected that Chapter 3 will feature a new map, the details are nearly non-existent about the upcoming chapter, and we will need to wait and see what is in store for players.

Chapter 2 has been building up for a major event as the map started to become overrun with mysterious cubes that slowly built up in the center of the map to form a structure that now houses the Cube Queen.  Epic suggests players get in the game at least 30 minutes before the event starts and the last event did come with some server issues as players flooded online to experience the one-time event.

Hi all,

I'm Jason Jay for short,A little about me I'm 51 years old, I like build and host websites, I like visiting other sites and making a few friends along the way. I'm a Territory manager for an oil and gas company and currently look after operation in five locations, we are very busy in the winter seasons but i find time to look around for nice relaxing communities to visit, I used to game some years ago on many of the older call of duty games.

Found you over at FP

Catch you around

Welcome to Uncrowned Gaming!! 

Seems like the problem can be reproduced and that means it should be fixable and fixed soon.  Although it may be a problem with the engine handling the player demand and that might pose a long term issue.

I love to collect video game related stuff!! Mostly figures and the like!

That can be an expensive hobby!

I use a laptop, so other?  I guess it would also be a prebuilt.

Call of Duty for me

It is a hard to beat classic.  Although Halo may have beat it this year!

Chunky is a good word for why I can never get into 3rd person.  The whole delayed aim, first person sniping, etc etc. Is just not as smooth as a good first person shooter.

I couldn't think of a good descriptive word at the time, so I am glad it worked 🤣

I never had a chance to play the bioshock games, but the seem so good!  

They are a solid set of games.  The remastered version is actually on a massive sale today on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/409710/BioShock_Remastered/

First Person all the way, I find nearly every third person shooter to be "chunky" feeling and less immersive.
