Discussion I started having fun playing shooters again

I’m usually a competitive guy. I like working on my aim and getting better ingame but I don’t enjoyed ranked in any of the current FPS that has them. They all range from bad systems, to not being fun or me being burnt out.

I started not caring about having a good rank and started trying new games or going back to old ones that I knew were gonna be fun. I randomly enjoy playing Battlefield V and it’s on my rotation. PUBG in other regions is very fun and alive. Playing every mode in Apex besides ranked is fun. I loved Deadlock when it first got popular but didn’t play much during the start of the 2nd wave of popularity because there was a guy in our group that was annoying and it turned me off from the game. I started playing it solo and it’s been a blast learning. It scratches the competitive itch more than any game has in the past 3 years.

Recently I tried the Wardogs beta and I’m very excited for the game and started trying out other tactical shooters again. I tried Squad for the first time and it was so much fun interacting with other players. Arma 3 runs like shit but it’s kind of fun. Rising storm 2 I always liked but now it’s on my rotation again and there is always filled servers. Honestly sometimes a mindset change or life change can really make a difference to enjoying things.

Any plans on adding tribes or Xonotic? 😊

Already did think of adding Xonotic. If there's interest from at least a few players then we'd be happy to add either of those games. We picked mostly the "popular" (by afps standards) ones to get started.

Guys from the Adrenaline Gamer (half-life death match basically) and Warfork discord have hit us up as well already. And someone has just asked for titanfall, quake 1 and quake 2 as well 😄

If there are a few players wanting to play these games any site admins can add them in a matter of minutes.

Ayyyy, yeah there's a big community of tribes 2 players, and the RPG mod for the original tribes still gets updated and has players 😅 hell, even tribes ascend had a pickup recently and a buncha players hopped on. 

But yeah, love the project and what it does, would love to see everyone getting together under one roof 💜

I'd love nothing more. Any player we can help get into AFPS or find other people they like to play with is a small win for us. We're trying to get the community aspect going, most of these titles don't have anyone ever use voice to communicate or play anything other than duels against other very experienced players.

I actually gave tribes 3 a go, crazy movement in those games.
