Apex Legends - Catch All

This game has seriously bene in a deadzone as of late. Season 3 can't come soon enough. I still play it out of habit and there are no other good multiplayer games out there for me but it definitely needs a shot in the arm.

How so?

Supposedly details on Season 3 will be unveiled today!

Personally, I've been enjoying the feeling of freedom I've gotten from hitting 110 on the battle pass and being able to play however I like, without regard to challenges. Ironically, I completed at least two last night without trying (and to no effect, since I was maxed out).

Me and my son started playing on PS4 this week because his PC crashes after a match or two. I now get why people smurf. We've played about 10 matches and have won 4. I've been kill leader more on PS4 in 10 games than I have been on PC in 6 months of playing.

I wish there were more play modes besides ranked, regular, and whatever event might be happening. That's what always kept Titanfall 2 fresh for me. If I got bored of one mode I could dive into something else. I'm sure that's all in the works eventually, but it feels like a distant future change.

It would be nice if they figured out how to incorporate titans and custom characters.

Ranked mode right now is the biggest camp fest, at least at my Plat 1 level. Nothing happens until it's top 10, the circle is tiny and it becomes one giant all-out war of luck. I just finished a game where we literally hid in a corner for a good 6 minutes. I am looking forward to the upcoming rank changes and hope thye effect the meta.

I'll bet solos is returning early in s3. Maybe duos will debut as well.

PS4 smurfing, eh? You know, I DO own a PS4 I could try that on...

Lots of hype going down on the Apex Twitter account.

Hype level: Immeasureable.

Gameplay trailer.

This looks awesome.

Here we go!
The train track is pretty much around the entire map. I love it.
From what I am reading this map is 1.5x the size of King Canyon. I really hope that this is the only map for the season and they put King Canyon the backburner to revamped it.

Anyone watch any of the footage? Is the ring unchanged? The interaction of the train and ring will be interesting. It would also be interesting if the ring was replaced by spreading lava or something, but that might be hard to make function properly.

Btw they swapped fast item usage to the gold armor. Gold backpack now gives extra shields to someone when you pick them up. So the backpack has gone from worst on Lifeline to best on her.

I'm kind of loving the new sniper/beam gun!

I had a bit of time with it. It's got a lot of power, so that will take some getting used to. But I can see how if used well it can definitely cause some significant damage.

The ring so far is unchanged. This map is definitely massive so there's a lot of running between things, so it's easy to get split up from your squadmates. And so far I've had terrible luck with them being nearby enough to help me if I get shot down. I haven't had a chance to get on a train yet. I like these high rise buildings and all the territory so far. But I've only really seen two areas.

I will be checking out Season 3 when I get off work today. Looking forward to it!

I know a handful here already do this but just the Discord channel when you play (on the PC). If you sit in there alone someone will eventually pop in to play along with you. A group of us are pretty much always there from 8-10

Problem is, I'm never on my PS4 unless I'm planning to play with someone, and I don't really play Apex on PC.

Bring on crossplay!

I play on PS4. It's sporadic throughout the week, and much heavier on weekends. But if you see me online playing feel free to hit me up.

Hmm, are we friended up on PSN? Or should I be looking in the gwj community or whatever?

Feel free to send me a request. I'm DominicKnight on PS4 too.

Had my first win of the season today, which is a first for me to have it so early. It's been nice exploring some other areas of the map.

I had my first win two days ago I think. Haven't played since though. I'll probably jump on at some point tomorrow night.

Sweet. If you see me on feel free to hit me up.

Got my first win on the new map tonight, after which I partied up with Wizardm0de and we immediately won my second! Good stuff.

Yea felt good to get a win tonight after being away from it from a couple months!

For whatever reason, as part of Season 3, I've scored two wins already after two days of play. That's after going all Season 2 with zero wins. Maybe the new map has brought some fresh players to the mix and my mediocre skills are holding up?

I had back to back wins for the first time ever yesterday... that was awesome.

Yeah - I'm not complaining. I really like the new map. The increased use of indoor environments is really fun.
