Yep. It’s the participation trophy of COD. Eliminations include assists.

Nice! Around thanksgiving of last year was when I started mainly playing tarkov. First two wipes I barely made it past the flea. Been running a lot of reserve this wipe.

Imo, once you know the extracts and loot spawns and you obtain most of the keys. Reserve is the best for loot.

Better than interchange and lighthouse imo. Once you get a red rebel, it increases your survivability a lot.

Customs and reserve are my two favorite maps by far.

So are PS5s readily available yet? What should one cost these days? I've looked on Newegg and Amazon and still see 3rd party sellers with $800 price tags.

No. If you see anything that is $800 that is not a bundle it's a scalper.

The disc version is $499 and the digital version is $399.

Supposedly Target is amassing a stock atm, people were expecting a drop last week but it didn't happen. There are Twitter accounts that track this stuff you probably want to follow.

I'm very happy with my XSX. The thought of building a dedicated gaming PC for my living room also threw me off even attempting to go that route.

Just the input lag is so much better with a pc/monitor setup. Even consoles have way less input lag when used with a good monitor.

That also disqualifies it for me. I'm not playing games on a monitor. Rather use my 75" TV.

Not just the low input lag, I’ve set my mouse dpi and sensitivity much lower than I’ve used for decades-low sens makes aiming with precision and speed so much faster.

PC legion rise up!

I probably should keep to myself with it, though. Currently using my modern rig to play New Vegas.

I don't think I could go back to KBM, not with the Elite 2. And while my turning is slow as **** in Halo thanks to my acceleration settings, my aim is definitely better thanks to it. It's just more fun for me as opposed to KBM.

Gaming would probably be decent on my current PC, now that I think about it. The only issue is that I'm running a GTX 1650. I have two Acer V277U monitors, and enough CPU and RAM to handle literally anything I can throw at it without breaking a sweat.

I am a PC gamer primarily, as are my kids, but like to play some console exclusives from time to time. We have a PS3 and 4, and would like to upgrade to a 5 at some point for MLB The Show. We got the upgrade edition for the PS4, and with our move this summer I was hoping to get my kids (and myself naturally) a nice housewarming gift. :lol:

I also haven't been able to upgrade my son's GPU from the 1050ti we got him 4-5 years ago. I refuse to pay $500+ for what should be a $250 card. I think prices are/were on the way down though. And by the time we get him squared away, it will be time for me to upgrade. I am blessed that my main game (BF 2042) is so horrible that I don't want to play it. :lol:

I do want to get Lego Skywalker Saga though. Not sure which platform though, although probably for the PlayStation so all of us can play it without paying 3X for it.

I’ve gone back and forth between pc and console from nes-doom-n64-unreal tournament-Xbox-team fortress 2-xbone and now pc again. I’ve realized I don’t like playing fps on controllers. I still have my elite 2 from when I played elite dangerous on Xbox, but once I got kbm down on the pc version I was much much better in competitive PvP.

Yeah, I don't even bother playing FPS games on our consoles. I'm 48, and don't have the reflexes or thousands of hours to be competitive (a 1.0 K/D lol) using a controller. If I had been playing for years with a controller, I'd be fine - a good friend of mine and my brother both are consolists that are my age and both do reasonably well.

I was a huge Unreal player on PC back in the day, and rediscovered my love for it with Halo Infinite. Despite the issues - and there are plenty of them - I can't put the game down. I'm nowhere near as good as I used to be, but that hasn't swayed me from giving up on it.
