TG & The World

Tactical Gaming, The World & The Future
#TogetherWeCanWin
 
2020 has been an interesting start. Potential for a new world war, bush fires, devastating floods and now Covid-19. It has defiantly been a testing time for humanity, and for the most part, we've all pulled together to help each other out.
 
Can i just take this opportunity to thank all the front line workers, key workers and all them people staying at home to help prevent the spread and infection of the population!! 
 
Now, in this article there will be a sum up of some news from around the world, news from the gaming community and of course, news from here within Tactical Gaming.
 
Lets start with the grim one...
 
Covid-19 (Coronavirus)
It's a deadly virus that has changed the world.
 
However, there is light at the end of the tunnel now. Together, helping each other out and supporting friends and family, we are starting to beat this awful virus. Infection and death rates are dropping and countries are easing lockdown rules.
 
Stay strong guys, it wont be long now before we are out of the woods. But lets not rush it and make it worse!
#StaySafe
 
News Within Tactical Gaming
So, some exciting news from within TG. 
 
Firstly, there have been 3 news games added to our ranks. Minecraft Dungeons has a new Legion in Tactical Adventures and Escape from Tarkov and Valorant Division has been added to Tactical Warfare. Both are looking for new members to join them and help pass the trail phases. If you can recruit from outside TG to help fill them, then great stuff! Get the word out!
 
The Public Relations Office is kick starting the TG Podcast again, it will soon be published. All we can say for now is, watch this space..!
 
There are still tournaments and competitions running within TG. Call of Duty have just finished the Warzone tournament, which had a great turn out. The Battlefield Division are running comps throughout the year. Most of them are only allowed members within the Battlefield Division to take part but there are some comps that TG members outside of the division can enter, head over to this link HERE to have a look at what you can enter. With in each Divisions/Legions, you may find local comps for the members within that division/legion. If not, pass up an idea to CoC and it may take place!
 
Streamers are busy keeping the TG Twitch channel busy. You can watch by going to the Twitch website and searching TacticalGamingNet and from there you can subscribe! If you are a streamer or fancy starting up, you can join the PRO and become a TG streamer! If you are interested, head over to this LINK.
 
There are also plenty of division/legion requests on the go. So many games that could fit in well in TG, but we need the help and support from people interested. Again, you can head to this PAGE to have a look at whats been proposed or even propose one yourself.
 
Everyone can keep an eye on things happening within TG by following the Facebook page and reading the News Section on the forums!
Lets move on from inside Tactical Gaming to the outside gaming world.

What's going on with Battlefield V?

These are desperate times... we got COVID-19 roaming around, we're all stuck at home, and to make it all worse... EA is stopping all development on BFV?!
It came as a surprise to most of us. Let's have a look at what the Ryan McArthur, Senior Producer at EA announced.
 
"As we look into the future, we will release one more standalone update this summer that brings with it some new content, weapons, and game tweaks." 
Source: Arts, E. (2020). The Future of Battlefield V: An Update with Ryan McArthur. Retrieved 26 May 2020, from https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/news/the-future-of-battlefield-v
 
Again, this came as a shock for most of us, but why is this happening? Why did BFV fail so hard?
 

 
Well, the initial release trailers didn't really help with the hype too much. The official reveal trailer's like/dislike ratio is horrible. 351K likes and 546K dislikes...
Have a look for yourself! 
 
 
At first it wasn't bad, but it could've done a lot better. Especially the campaign and a few of the multiplayer maps. But when EA released War in the Pacific, it got a lot better. The game improved, and saw a larger influx of players. These maps were a success and helped BFV hold on for just a bit longer, but EA is still a business, in it for the money. So if a game like this fell through so hard, what's the point of putting more money into it just so you can lose it again?
 
Anyways, that's an extremely brief recap of the game's life. So what's next for battlefield? Well we got some new content, as Mr McArthur said and we got a screenshot of a map here: 
 

Source: Ivan, T. (2020). Battlefield V will receive its final new content update this summer | VGC. Retrieved 26 May 2020, from https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/battlefield-v-will-receive-its-final-new-content-update-this-summer/
 
There has been a bit of speculation around where this map is located. It's clearly in the desert, probably Libya or somewhere similar.
Here's some more information of what's to come in the next month or so:
 

Source: Arts, E. (2020). The Future of Battlefield V: An Update with Ryan McArthur. Retrieved 26 May 2020, from https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/news/the-future-of-battlefield-v
 
So if you're a casual player in BFV, you'll know this stuff has started already, excluding the #FridayNightBattlefield or Throwback Thursdays. 
 
So it looks like this is the end of BFV. Now we gotta look forward to BF6, looking to be released in 2021... what will that be like?

TG's First look at Amazon's Crucible

Typical Veterans Review of Crucible
I would love to start off by saying that i was very surprised that TG did not have more hype for the release of this game. I will not lie this game has been on my radar but pretty low on my radar. I think the Jury is still out as for an overall assessment of this game but i did notice a few things right away from my tutorial and 2 pvp games. Below i will list my pros and cons and i will let you be the judge.
 
PROS
Great smooth game play- Crucible gave me a little stutter on start up but within 2 minutes was running completely smooth. i would suggest turning the graphics down.  Awesome team fights- Although i didn't have coms with my team mates you can definitely tell that this game is reliant on team members combining their abilities to secure the objective.  Graphics- Beautiful. The graphics are pretty that is for sure Not pay to win- This game adopted the fortnite/apex method of making money selling mostly cosmetics. You can even buy a battle pass. None of these items give you a tactical advantage. Abilities- Each character has unique abilities that range from team support or brutality towards your opponents.  Hidden Story- There is a story buried somewhere. The reason i say that is these characters will have impromptu conversations with each other and details of the past can come out. When viewing your character and reading about them there seems to be a mystery factor.  Controller supported- Yes for now the game is on PC but players do have the option to play with a controller. Free- This game is free to play and is available on Steam Combat- Some characters are all out in your face brawlers or keep you at a distance shooters. Some can fly or dash. These characters can be utilized in several different ways. there are also 10 characters to choose from. PVP meets PVE- During your time spent in combat the other players will not be the only thing trying to kill you. There are numerous beasts all over the map and even your objective is a monster. You could be stuck in a 2v1 combat scenario just to watch one of your enemies get Schwacked by a monster and turn it into 1v1.  
CONS
Not available on console yet- So far this is a PC title only No private matches- So far there is a way to party up but no option for private matches or custom games exist You cannot change your hero in game- I did not see a way to change the hero in game. When you pick your character you are stuck with them for that entire match.  
 
Conclusion
Amazon did a nice job with this game. You get some abilities similar to an overwatch or destiny but you also get the 3rd person view. I think you will see a lot of people streaming this soon and you will see a lot of updates to the game. The price is right also. It is a free game so if you hate it you can just delete it. This could be a good community game night for everyone especially if they release cross play and bring this game to console. If you would like to see some game play and hear some comments check out my stream below where i walk you through the tutorial and play a few matches. If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments below. Thank you TG
