>meta is decided by minmaxing streamers
>no-fun-allowed balance
>one-shot light weapons still exist
absolutely not esports ready, wtf is Embark smoking

You can tell this is console kiddie bait because the entire last year has consisted of nerfing heavy so they cant one shot lights anymore. Get good you fucking scrub, you deserve hallway dolphin diver 2025.

>nerfing heavy so they cant one shot lights anymore
yet lights can one shot literally any other class in the game. what kind of bullshit balance is this?

Light players crying about everything rather than getting good.

>>720640908 (OP)
Is this another tranny counter strike?

>>720640908 (OP)
the best esports games are the ones that didnt try to be esports and became it naturally

>>720642919
The Finals (its good)

>>720640908 (OP)
>Season 8
The fuck? I thought this game died the following month after release.

>>720643097
Its playercount has gone up recently, its pretty good despite some small issues.

>trust me, THIS will be the year of The Finals!
Release date: Dcember 2023
Playercount: Usually less than 20k on PC
Explain to me why light needs all the infinite ammo weapons with no reload that do massive ammounts of HS damage? Or why he needs a 2 shot instakill cannon on every class?
>"Bbuh he's a glass cannon! 150 HP only!"
And fastest regen, smallest hitbox and about a dozen "get out of jail" cards. And better healing than a medium's spec.

But noooo, the winch was the problem! It wasn't MY fault that I got in range of the heavy! It's the heavy's fault that I was punished for overextending!!


I've stuck with this game since CB2, almost 1.5k hours and it's been going downhill steadily.

Ranked is still not a competitively viable mode either.

>>720643086
Looked up and looks like faggot shit, so I guess I was right. Probably gonna end up like Valorant

>>720643347
Its developed by 98% white men in Sweden

Are they gonna revert the 7.6 spawns that actually made sense? Can't believe that any good change is accidental but any bad choice is on purpose and you have to stick with it for a goddamn long time.

>>720642782
It makes no sense since the other classes are only balanced around how much light can fuck them up. Both Heavy and Medium reveived significant balance passes yet lights are still fucking cancer to play against.
Every class rewards tactical play like tracking/movement(positioning but for some reason only lights can have the ability to shot you, have the highest DPS weapons and can go zooming across the map.

>>720643463
>Swedish developer
since when is that a positive? Can't think of a single good swedish game lol

>>720643463
>Sweden
so 100% faggot game gotcha

>>720643463
Mamaged by koreans with slim wallets lol, not even a new map this season hahahahaha>>720643463

>>720643097
They did a massive shill campaign after somewhat improving the game in late 2024/early 2025

>>720640908 (OP)
That's why I fell off most competitive online multiplayer titles. It's always fun for 5 minutes when it's new and everyone plays gimmicky, then the meta happens and everything becomes miserable until eos.

>>720643097
Don't worry, Season 8 will be the last because they'll focus soley on their next failed project, Arc Raiders. This season didn't even get a new map or spec.

>>720643097
It basically never went below 10k because Battlefield and Call of Duty have shit the bed just as bad if not worse in the last 2 years and there are few other worthwhile choices to play beyond older games which you and I both know arent as avidly consoooooomed by normies.

I can't blame him really.

>>720643620
No new map last season either, we just got a TDM training arena and some LTM events.

>>720644389
what are you talking about, we got nozomi/citadel
unless you mean in S6. But we got a reworked vegas. Here it's not even a rework, it's only for suspended structures Monaco and a few jump pads on Kyoto. Hardly counts like the vegas rework where some areas got a better makeover

>>720644367
>I can't blame him really.
last season's performance and stability was lackluster compared so s5 and 6. the game is 2 approaching 2 years since relase, I was hoping they'd fix their shit by now

>>720643463
Aka faggots

>>720644671
Performance and stability have been going downhill since release. I used to be able to run this game at 120 with everything on high at max rez. Now i'm lucky if I get 60 with dips with everything on low

>>720644573
>we got nozomi/citadel
you're right, I misremembered. Citadel is not that great of a map since it has too much clutter in some areas but is definitely better than kyoto.
>s6 vegas rework
It has some good variety but I really like the desert version. they need to do those sorts of redesign to more maps

>>720644816
same for me.

also the hit reg and dying behind walls is getting worse

>>720644963
Sandstorm vegas blows, in any way. It's intresting because it's a much more striking visual and geometry change but holy shit, the single worst cashout spawns ever. If you get the garage elevator or the dunehill cashout, it's pretty much a guaranteed win. Massive sightilines in a meta that's moving towards long range boringness, wow.

>>720643493
>light melee kills faster than other melee
>light guns kill faster than other guns
and this is supposed to be offset because their HP is low? What the fuck is wrong with these devs

>>720643463
So it's guaranteed woke trash? The only good things swedes ever put out came out of DICE and Notch.
>look up
>Nexon
lol and lmao

>>720645561
>DICE
>good
lol

>inb4 "Embark are actually old DICE devs"
Yeah, I could tell. They even have the dev from BFV that said "don't like it, don't buy"

Oh just kidding new map and spec are presumably coming later to make it look like this season is pumped with updates rather than spread thin.
>>720645649
>don't like it don't buy it
>releases f2p game
retard genius

>>720645170
>Sandstorm vegas blows
yeah but I like the idea of the same map that plays a bit differently due to new geometry that opens up sightlines. it's better than having no new map at all.
>>720645327
>and this is supposed to be offset because their HP is low?
you forgot to mention the movement and near instantaneous HP regeneration. It takes a light 4 seconds to reload his gun and return back into the fight with full HP. A medium or heavy needs double that.
they literally gave a class
>movement
>high DPS
>one/two-shot capability at close range
>fast regeneration
>spamabiltiy
and ALL this is supposed to be offset by it having low HP? The fuck is that logic?

>>720645747
>Their next technically Arc Raiders was in development before The Finals, so that'd make it their first game game went from F2P to a 40 Dollar purchase
you tell me
>keeps spamming that fake image
Sure, make the new map as cluttered as the pre-rework Kyoto. Let's see how people like not being able to throw nades or use pads.

>>720645916
Oh, it was fake? Well what can you do, guess this season probably will be the worst ever - doesn't matter, still gonna keep playing this garbage occasionally until something new catches my eye.

>>720640908 (OP)
fuck off troon

>15k players on steam

Who is this deluded
Not you OP just anyone considering The Finals to be an esports title in general I mean

>>720647320
Embark and their investors are, they legit think this will bring The Finals into the public eye and set their game into the Esports hall of fame.
The Major is even described as a fucking even in the game's LORE. This shit reminds me of when Siege had an identity crisis.
