I agree that most gamemodes do not play that way, and the classes are more restrictive to be a pure arena shooter.

But playing soldier or scout in gamemodes like Koth and PlayerDestruction scratch that itch enough for me to count.

Fast respawn and itemspawn management, combined with good map knowledge feels like good old quake 3 or UT sometimes.

Then you have dozens of rocketjumping maps in the server browser, which no game i know of has these days.

Team fortress 2 is still going good even if the only updates are from the community in terms of maps.

Guild wars 2! Giant map to explore and alright story in the free to play part.

Even if you pick different backrounds and race you can port to the other starting maps and the story connects everything later on.

It also gets more difficult so dont think it is always easy like in the starter zones.

And it is one of the old school f2ps thats still good without paying if you wanna try it out.

But if you spend money on an expac you keep it and dont have to pay for a savegame like WoW.

One of the rare MMOs that values your time and money.

If you want to scratch a similar itch, and have not already, try Guild Wars 2.

It does have microtransactions, but only because they have no subscription fee and they are mostly cosmetic with a few rare exceptions.

It also has no FOMO except cosmetics from certain festivals, which you can also buy in the next year.

It is still the best MMO on the market IMHO, because it values your time and money compared to other games in the genre.

Guild wars 2 has so much variety i would not know where to start. Would just search it on youtube and find the fitting mood i guess.

That people still pay monthly for save games has always been wild for me.

Guild Wars 2 as well. :)

Try guild wars 2.

You can play without completly downloading it.

Its f2p and you can explore all together, since every starting map gets unlocked no matter what race you pick at the start.

It is also very easy to learn and you can even outlevel each other if anyone wanna keep playing in private, since you get levelcapped depending what map you are in.

Brilliant game design all around and still one of the best multiplayer games out there IMHO.

We have all seen how that worked out with R. kelly. There was a lot of evidence back then aswell, but he had money and fame to keep it under wraps.

Cause that guy is an alleged pedo. Probably better to not have him in a meme anymore when there are also way better alternatives.

Nice meme but please:

Guess im a satanist now… *shrugs

Solange es nicht mit handgranaten schmeisst, ist es glücklicherweise kein reenactement von Animal Squad.

Good meme but pls:

That was a joke Art installation AFAIK a decade back.

Me too. Gives you the farts and they taste like copper. My mum used to put it in everything and i always disliked it. Since cook at home i never use them in and never will.

Has any of the rapists or apologists in ubisoft had any repercussions yet?

Then i am not interested in their games anyway.

How is ng+ innovative? Have you played many other games this year? Dave the diver, boneraiser Minions or Astrea have shown me more innovation in gameplay than any AAA game in years.

Yeah. Hogwarts legacy and EA football as game of the year is very weird aswell.

Guess there is some brigading in some corners of the internet going on. Or most of the people just have a one dimensional taste in games.

I was very confused, when it was nominated in the steam awards for most innovative game. Made me a bit sad when people do not know what great games are out there that only cost 1/5 of a AAA borefest.
