Fortnite

[Wizard.]

Well, anyone jumped on this bandwagon yet?

[RileyH]

No

[Babayaro.]

Ask me again in 2 weeks

[andybigbro]

I’ve heard about it but not quite sure what it is...

[Wizard.]

I’ve heard about it but not quite sure what it is...

It's a game, idk really you can play Battle Royale for free or buy the full game.

[Amy Jade]

Battle Royale game play is beyond dull and rewards camping basically.

[Shaun]

Downloaded it but haven't given it a go yet.

[Shaun]

I just played my first few games and I get the gist now - but boy am I crap at it :worry: I just managed to win my first game... but it was a squad format and I was with 3 other players who also didn't die so I feel like I lucked out (especially since I didn't get any kills, and just spent 5 minutes of it disguised as a bush :love:)

It's a lot of fun though and hella addictive. Think I just did 3 hours on it without noticing :unsure:

[_Tom_]

Been playing for a week, still a noob :worry:

[LukeB]

Im terrible at this on my phone :worry:

I haven't played it on console yet.

[GiRTh]

Got a couple of friends who play it and have recommended it. I downloaded it and it looks like fun but I know I wont get into it so the answers no.

[LukeB]

i'm not complaining or anything but why is it free?

[Matthew.]

our dennis has it and claims to be a “fooking beast” at it but chances are he’s useless, like i probably am. so i’m going to ask him if i can have a shot at it

[Matthew.]

haha turns out he’s playing it right now, so i’m downloading it on the iPad

[Shaun]

i'm not complaining or anything but why is it free?

Going to make a hell of a lot of money through in-game purchases so they're minted either way tbh

[Matthew.]

ok this game is fantastic

[Marsh.]

Sequel to Fortitude?

[Oliver_W]

Fortnight is old hat now, it's all about Paladins.

[Shaun]

Won my first Solo game :flutter: (by hiding under the other guy's tower right until the very end, the smallest possible circle, and he blew his own platform up that was miles above me. Only took 1 shot after he fell)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Smallest boy LT played it a lot at the weekend

[Niamh.]

Luke is always playing this

[Eddie.]

I’m not really into mobile games, but I’m willing to jump on the bandwagon because most of my Uni friends are hooked on it...

[_Tom_]

I couldn't imagine playing this on mobile :worry:

[Barry.]

Is it only for mobile?

[Wizard.]

Is it only for mobile?

No PC and Mac

[Barry.]

I’ll wait for PS4, thanks.

[LukeB]

I’ll wait for PS4, thanks.

It is on PS4, it's free too :laugh:

you just have to sign up for epic and wait for them to send you an email to play,

[Shaun]

I think you can even play without the Epic thing, that's what Ninastar seems to be doing anyway

[LukeB]

I think you can even play without the Epic thing, that's what Ninastar seems to be doing anyway

oh, i had to sign up for epic and wait for an email to play when i downloaded it on my phone and when i downloaded it on my ps4 it asked me to sign in with epic so i just assumed you needed it.

[Shaun]

Yeah I signed up with it too, weird.

[Barry.]

It is on PS4, it's free too :laugh:

you just have to sign up for epic and wait for them to send you an email to play,

How do I do that?

[LukeB]

How do I do that?

download it from the PS store and it should tell you what do when you've downloaded it

[montblanc]

i wanna see what this is can i play it on a mac

I would play Fortnite, but I'm too weaks ;)

[AnnieK]

Ive heard they are pulling this game in May due to an ongoing law suit

[Ramsay]

Ive heard they are pulling this game in May due to an ongoing law suit

That's not true :laugh:

[AnnieK]

That's not true :laugh:

Is it not, thank god my step son was devastated, me not so much

[Ramsay]

Yeah, it's some fake twitter post being shared around Facebook. A very cruel joke haha

[_Tom_]

Season 4 is out with an updated map

[user104658]

I'm so bad at this I'm on the verge of giving up. I've never had more than two kills in a game (and most games it's 1 or 0) and I can stealth my way to a top 10 / top 5 but I will literally never win a game :(.

[Barry.]

I got too 10 without taking anyone out.

[Shaun]

It'll happen eventually! The number of times I've won through sheer luck (mostly the other teams/solos building a ****-off ridiculously high tower, shooting rockets down at me, and blowing it all up and falling to their death) is ridiculous... that said, I have improved drastically and have notched up 6 kills in a game before :shocked:

Dream weapons are a suppressed pistol (purple or legendary), a bunch of throwables (preferably those clinger things), a blue or higher assault rifle and the same for a shotgun... pointless carrying around shields when everyone drops them anyway, and that leaves one slot for bandages/a medkit

Hunting rifles are evil, I'm no good at sniping, and rocket/grenade launchers are near impossible to find

[LukeB]

This is me, i kill only 1 person and that’s it. I completely suck at this game and the building part, i watch people on twitch and youtube play it so i can learn from them how to do better but i still suck

[Tom4784]

I'm so crap at shooting in this game, I can shoot the bollock off a gnat halfway across the map with a Bow on Overwatch but in this game I have the aim of a Stormtrooper in the midst of an epileptic fit.

I'm working on getting better, I've been playing Solo games where I just jump into the contested areas so I can unleash my inner Vixen and fight bitches and it's kind of working!

I got third place with two kills yesterday :clap1:

[Tom4784]

This bitch is my fave.

I got third place with two kills yesterday :clap1:I'm improving slightly... I got 6 kills in the space of 2 games last night :omgno:. Also almost always top 10 finish (playing duos with wife) but never a win :(... It gets crazy once its down to the last 3 or 4 teams, the tactics people use are next level.

A few things I've picked up:

There is no physical bullet with 99% of weapons. If you're used to normal shooter mechanics, knowing this is ESSENTIAL on this game. Basically, the time between pulling the trigger and the attack hitting the other players hit box is ZERO.

My instinct, from every other game, was to aim slightly in front of an opponent in motion to account for bullet travel time and score a hit. No such thing in fortnite. Aim exactly where you want to hit. Was a game changer for me :joker:.

The exceptions are rocket launchers and sniper rifles, but only "true" sniper rifles. Doesn't apply to scoped assault rifles, for example, those are still point n click.

Second tip would be, unless you're literally less than a minute into a game, anything less than a blue gun isn't worth firing and will just get you noticed and killed.

Third... Traps are surprisingly effective late-game. As not many people use them OR are looking out for them... People will bunny hop right into them if you hide and they're looking for you.



I swear though the most fun to be had in this game is just the daft stuff that happens. Like we landed in the clock tower, along with one guy from another team, and just mashed the crap out of him with the pickaxe :joker:. Once he was knocked down, we healed up and stuff... Did some dancing... and just let him crawl around with nowhere to go... Eventually he just gave up and stopped, waiting to be put out of his misery :joker:. Killed him, THEN two seconds later the whole tower crashes down killing us both, because his teammate has meanwhile been taking out all of the walls on the bottom level... Cuts to spectating him... He starts dancing in the ruins of the tower... Then gets instantly snipes from the roof of another building.

You can't script drama like that [emoji23]

[user104658]

Oh also... a surround sound headset is more or less a requirement. You can do more from sound than sight on this...

[user104658]

Anyone been playing Thanos mode? :worry:

Oh you're one of those people :oh:

Thanos mode is...erm... I had a few attempts earlier, never got to *be* him, and just found it all a bit stressful / not that fun. It would be a better mode if either:

a) He's waaaaaaay overpowered and the entire game is just 99 vs. 1, with each defeated Thanos being replaced by one of the 99 (whoever gets there first) and carry on as normal

or b) You could at least have squads to fall back on... the Solo mode is a cluster**** as it is with everyone just gunning for each other, without having some bloody demi-god obliterating you as he sees you.

I think A would be the best option though. Something like 1000 health, 1000 shield, because the current rollout isn't that hard to defeat. Just hella distracting with not much time between storm shrinkages and the typical free-for-all

Storm also does a LOT more damage as I found out the hard way. I had racked up 6 kills too :fist: ... just outside the circle when the storm overtook me and it killed me in like 4 seconds :umm2:.

My kid is so excited - there have been real tears every time they have postponed it over the last couple of weeks. It better be worth it :fist:

[Calderyon]

Have seen streams of people playing it.

[Wizard.]

Omg I have cried every time they delayed it too :laugh:

[JerseyWins]

What happens during these end of season events? I'm gonna miss it because of work but would like to know any/all details about it :dazzler:

[JerseyWins]

Have seen streams of people playing it.
You sound very excited about it, but it's even MORE fun playing the game! :clap1:

[LukeB]

Will they be agent stuff? Jersey sure loves the agency and....storms

Hope you called him a noob and said you were gonna fingerbang his mom. Oh.

He's prattling about input delay and his mike glitching.....it might be the end of his season if he's not careful

[The Slim Reaper]

All noobs moan about that when they're getting beaten. His mic probably isn't glitching, they just can't understand his scally accent.

I'd suggest Arista as a gaming partner, but we have a strained relationship when it comes to games.

[JerseyWins]

Pleeeeeease don't remove the agents/henchmen :fc: </3

We get out of the storms alive (and usually with full life) don't we? :smug:

Lol.....I was listening to him the other day....he was talking about his.ping was really bad...he was literally combo-ing the excuses. Then he told his mate he was really sweaty....which apparently doesn't mean he needs a shower. I was kicked out his room then :laugh:

Did your son manage to get in Annie? I missed out because it was full

[JerseyWins]

Ummmmmm not a fan of the new tsunami style storm :worry: I don't like what they've done with the Agency either :omgno:

He did....it took a while but he managed it, thank god. Sorry you missed out :love:

I will miss that British woman’s voice though. “Welcome to the Agency, you come highly recommended” :(

Ehhh I guess I'm kinda liking this updated game :clap1:

the map could do with a massive overhaul now, nothing much has changed location wise on this map since it begun, only massive thing really is salty towers in terms of the mass drop zones and a few gimmick places like stark industries, i like the npc idea they added in though
