The map design in this game is genius, it's the balance between dead space, choke points, verticality, and points of control... you know it was the team that made the maps in MW1 & 2, the best maps in COD history.
The gunplay is so intuitive, I love it. I really don't like games that rely on hit-scan mechanics. I need to "feel" the bullet traveling through the air, compensate for distance and drop etc.
I know people were saying shotguns are strong atm but, try the Wingman. It's a beast.

I've found it useful in long and mid range encounters. Gives you and your team a safe space to recover health and shield. (And reload)
Specially so if you are in a rather open space
It's also useful when you are getting shot at but aren't exactly sure from where. It gives you a few seconds to figure out where the enemy is coming from.

Unless you run right into a crowd of teams with no weapon, you won't die immediately at all. The TTK in this game is very, very forgiving!
Its good when you need to revive someone and especially as a lifesaver when you're in the final circles, You can go right up against the wall and poke out to land shots while going back and forth into the dome. In the main game its mostly used as a quick get outta trouble free card because it creates a barrier between you and enemies so you can break vision. Very helpful at later stages.

got my first win last night
a feature that i didnt realize was there at first, but i appreciate a ton now, is that when you pick up a new weapon all of your attachments automatically transfer over to it. makes manually moving optics and stocks over like in pubg or blackout feel so damn clunky

Yeah love Mirage, I'm getting good results with him (well, better than with the others anyway).
I gladly paid for some currency too, mostly to support the devs. I have enough to unlock Caustic too, but I'm not sure about that, I'm halfway to unlocking him with red credits, and since there's nothing interesting to unlock with them but Legends, I may wait until I have 12000 of them.

Launching straight into the sea probably isn't the best way to play the game.

Not gonna lie. If you were launch captain and you took out your whole squad that way...I would laugh.

Someone on Reddit made this.

Nice! That should go in the OP.

I have to say, the recoil on these guns can be really confusing for someone used to their Titanfall 2 counterparts.

I could have told you that without a chart.
Really like this game but crashing to desktop every 4-5 matches, usually right after starting our jump is killing it for me.

It's the armours.
I'm having issues too. I guess once I get used to the different armour types and their TTK it will be different but right now I'm struggling to win gunfights. Like, for exaple I never know if it will take 2 shotgun blasts, or 3, or 5

it all comes down to the numbers I believe. If you nail a shot on them and its red, they have no armor, white and above corresponds to the armor levels going from White, Blue, Purple, Yellow. I will try and find the info graph someone made detailing it. Once I figured that out it made battles a lot easier because you don't want to rush when you're hitting 25 purple damage because you're gonna get wrecked unless you match it.

Same here! Myself and my friends always played Overwatch, but now we are only playing Apex since the game is so fun.
Just won 2 more matches today with friends, Lifeline is the best hero for me so far, her entire kit is great, especially her shield when ressurrecting allies

There's no benefit, other than perhaps watching players and using their gameplay to improve your own, but there's no penalty either. Although, this being Apex Legends, you should only leave once your whole squad is killed, or your banner expires. Even after death, teammates can respawn you by collecting your banner and bringing it to a respawn station.
As far as tips go, one of my favorite Titanfall content creators is back at it, and has just released a really good video detailing lots of advice that can help your game. He also runs the TF Legends you tube channel that talked about the battle pass above.

I'm embarrased by the fact that I was SO wrong about this game. I wrote it off in the other thread and called it a shameless fortnite/overwatch cash in but honestly after playing it for a few days it really is fantasitc.
Happy to say I was wrong about this one. Congratulations to Respawn on an awesome title.

Professional gamers have amazing reflexes, and are able to make many decisions almost instantly. That, and once you know what you're looking for, this game pretty much tells you what you should and should not grab. Anything with the "no" symbol (a circle with a line though it), either can't be used by your character, or would be worse than the gear you currently have.
1) Weapons. Are you happy with your weapons? If so, skip this. If not, a quick glance will give you two options.
2) Ammo. There are four ammo types in the game. Grab the ammo for the weapons you're using, and move on.
3) Gear. Grab anything that doesn't have the no symbol. Gear isn't stored in your inventory, so this shouldn't require any thought.
4) Attachments. Attachments are stored on your gun, not in your inventory. So again, grab anything that doesn't have the no symbol. The one exception is if you have a favorite weapon you're hoping to find, consider grabbing a weapon specific attachment to hold onto.
5) Consumables. Grab everything that gives you health or shields. Grab and use ultimate accelerant, or give it to a teammate. Consider grabbing grenades if current inventory space allows.

Haven't really touched an fps since destiny 2 came out and I only played that for a month or so. So I'm pretty shit at this.
Still having fun though.
Tried watching some videos on YouTube for tips or what ever and holy crap there's a lot going on in this game. So much stuff to consider.

I might be completely wrong but I think spawns are random. Areas just have a "rarity" level which increases the chances of getting better stuff (and the beginning of the game you can check the map for a blue area which will have very high chances of high level gear)

Played a couple of sessions with some buddies and none of us can get into it at all. I dunno, the whole game just feels very `design by committee` to me, and the gunplay feels god awful. Not a fan of the long TTK or the lack of a solo gametype. Not for me then.

not sure if serious, if serious you are probably out of your mind
clunky is a great way to describe pubg and fortnite, not this
Yeah. I'm iffy about the Battle Royal aspect, but the fundamental gameplay is the best skill-based FPS experience I've had since Halo CE. That's saying a lot.
Seriously. It's the exact opposite of clunky. With what's happening in the DMC threads regarding this topic, I figured I'd just have to start rolling my eyes at some of these opinions.

Yeah I love the controls and the gunplay, really nothing wrong with it, on the contrary. I'm having a hard time mastering the long range sniping though (because of curved bullet trajectories), but it makes sense that it requires skill or the game would be a camping fest.
I finally understood why people loved the Wingman, had a game where I KO-ed 3 or 4 guys with it (not all of them turned into frags though)

The first season pass goes up in March, so I give it three months.
I like the game, but I think it has some serious obstacles to overcome. The lack of solo mode is a big one (you feel obligated to work as a team, but sometimes you want to do things like explore the map. If the season pass has Fortnite-like objectives, team play will be annoying). The overuse of prefab buildings creates for multiple areas in the game that feel very similar. The map, especially, needs a lot of work. There's nothing interesting or enjoyable about the characters or cosmetics. The guns don't really do much to differentiate themselves - it's mostly some form of automatic weapon. There may be differences in fire speed, ammo capacity, range, whatever, but they all kind of feel like shooting the same gun to me. I guess that's why only having two weapons isn't inconvenient (though if they ever make 3 guns worth carrying, it'll feel constrictive).
And I think the games all sort of feel the same - it's fun and I like it, but with Fortnite, you can have ten different games that all feel completely different. All this is stuff that can be ironed out over time, possibly through the season pass. But I think it all limits the game in some way and if it isn't changed, the game won't have the kind of legs that Fortnite or PUBG had.

Just got my first win this morning. All survived till the end though I was in a knock down state after taking out two members of the last opposing squad.
Game is tons of fun, movement is awesome, shooting mechanics actually feel great and accurate which is one of the major things I think this game has over garbage like fortnite.
As the game continues to do well they will invest in the title and flesh it out more.
We should sticky a poll in the OP where people vote on how long the game survives and thrives and revisit by end of year
