All games eventually evolve a counterstrike mod. It's the carcinisation of games.

I thought that was a battle royale mode?

Just one of the many steps along the road to perfection: counterstrike.

Not always, Apex Legends added a 3v3 Arenas mode on smaller maps way after the initial battle royale release.

Fornite is no longer a game it's a platform for games. I wonder if shitty movie tie-in games are now going to be shitty movie tie-in games, but they're on Fortnite.

Well, fortnite is already full of shitty movie tie-in skins, so that's not much of a jump.

What makes them shitty? They don't look so bad imo

It's cool to hate everything Fortnite.

T2. Alien. Predator. John Wick.

Fortnite is a commercial that occasionally breaks out into a game.

While this is peripherally interesting to hear, without Linux support ^[1][2]^, I am not personally interested.

      Nope. No way there because of their anti cheat solution. Sorry.

Thank you for noticing 😊 ­— I have hope that it's a practice that will catch on eventually. I do my best to not engage in conjecture: If I make any claim, I try to make sure that I cite it. The same sort of thing goes for anything derived from logic — ie I do my best to describe my thought processes to make sure that I reduce the possibility of incorrect assumptions being made on anything that I post. It's a little bit tedious at times, but I think it's important.

Thank god "kicks" are supported in this mode, or else I wouldn't be able to show my support for nike

It's a shame cs is one of the worst-feeling shooters for me... actually fortnite's shooting felt awful too, it's a huge part of why I couldn't get into it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

At least Counter-Strike is on Linux.

Why the fuck don't they just focus on Save the World!? It's the only best game mode in that game! Also, why they can't bring this mode to Switch?
