Currently Playing: DARKTIDE : NEW MAP ! Hi5 STG | Laspistol & Rashad | Sharpshooter

It's not very good FUNNIEST Russian man is @VaasYanovich Fatshark seriously needs to stop making objectives that are just "sit there for 5 minutes", it doesn't work with any of the mechanics at play with any of their games, it's never interesting, and it's never fun. Middle event is a lot of standing around waiting for a hack to progress or for a train to move. The layout isn't particularly interesting and there's a supreme lack of density. It's also bugged and has a broken area on top of the train that instakills any enemies trying to climb it. The end event is even worse, it's got the two black marks of a bad Darktide event : it makes you wait in place, and it has spawn doors. Supremely easy to shut down any and all spawns, which all come a safe distance away from the middle or from one of the sides (ideally you wouldn't stand in the midde, but the pressure never even approached something that would cause us to go into a good position). This isn't helped by the lack of said spawns. Why make us stand around and wait for something passively ? Why not design an arena that forces player movement ? Good events that have phases requiring you to stand your ground and clear a wave before moving on at least have a lot of pressure coming your way, like silo cluster's end event, but this map never really spawns anything, and doesn't really have the geometry to allow any interesting gameplay or for the enemies to be threatening. Maybe they could make the bad guys drop down from the ceiling cranes in the end event, in a pattern that would force you to move across the area under pressure to not get swarmed ? Idk, making an event that was built to be passive into something interesting would require a lot of work, and I don't think FS even consider their poor level design a problem, let alone a high priority one. The two events on this map feel broken, literally. Like back in V2 when all events scaled to recruit difficulty. It feels like it isn't spawning the enemies it's supposed to. I can only hope it is indeed a bug and not bad design. At least my laspistol is fun. This run was recorde live, you can come watch us beg for Hi5 Shock Troop at twitch.tv/telopots
