Great but struggling free Steam FPS doubles progression as player base crumbles
The Finals patch 1.7.0 doubles experience in the fast-paced multiplayer movement shooter from ex Battlefield devs as its player count falls.
You're viewing a single thread.
The Finals is the best shooter that's come out in a while. It's chaotic and a little stupid, but also just straight up fun. Assaulting the objective by just completely tearing down the building it's in is both hilarious and satisfying.
I really hope that this game does well. They have a really cool foundation and it's nice that it's a bit of a smaller developer. It's free, give it a shot!
Also... Aren't we past these clickbait article titles on Lemmy? You shouldn't need to click the comments or the article to tell what game it's talking about.
I've been getting a few matches a day in. Really enjoying it. Hopefully the player base picks up some. I seem to have a knack for liking the fpses that fail though.
I guess you could call them smaller. They have about 60% the staff of DICE (where the founders came from) and are backed by big investment money.
They have captured what DICE hasn't for a while though, which is the fun total destructability that made the Bad Company's so great.
It's my favorite game right now. I'd stopped playing for a long while and I'm back to playing almost daily.
This game is so damn good. I can't even be bothered by all the sensational headlines and influencers jumping over themselves to tear it down. Fuck em all, for sure
Assaulting the objective by just completely tearing down the building it's in is both hilarious and satisfying.
This is something I specifically didn't like about a particular map in Bad Company 2 in Rush. It's definitely fun for the attackers but defending against that sucks ass.
I haven't played BC2 but I don't feel that way at all in The Finals. Defending can be kinda interesting. There are a lot of options when it comes to how and where to defend, and even in the chaotic moments where the entire building tilts and shifts, it's a lot of fun.
It's almost never a good idea to defend standing directly on the point. Generally you want cover and an easily accessible line of sight to the cashbox, ideally from above.
Does the thing they have to attack get destroyed along with the building? Because that was what made it so not fun on BC2. At least it was just the one map, from what I remember. The last 2 MCOM sites could be capped simply by blowing up the houses they were in so as a defender if you lost to that point, you pretty much lost the game. It would have been fine if they still had to actually get on the thing and defuse/blow it up because without the house, they have no cover.
Nope, the cashbox is indestructible. It can be kinda moved a little by explosions, but not too much.
To steal, someone has to run up to the cashbox and hold a button for about 7 or 8 seconds. It plays a loud alarm sound so it's fairly easy to stop if you're nearby, but also since two teams are attacking at once, sometimes you can pull off a steal in the chaos.
