    Ive seen kids play it and asked them if they are any good , "i can build but not really good at the shooting part was the answer " so basically you have a load of kids playing a game to build fortresses ....not that i know what any of that means :pac:

    I played it for about 8 or 9 hours.

    It's woeful, I can't understand how it's so popular.

    I've watched my way younger cousins playing it.
    They are fairly good so it was entertaining.

    I don't want to sound like an old man shouting at a cloud but really do think Fortnite is a rubbish game. It's always been ****ty PUBG to me. The terrible generic mobile phone CGI art style assaults my eyes but even at that I always found the gun play not fun and the building annoying. It's only big because it was the first battle royale game that jumped on the PUBG bandwagon and was free.

    I've been playing a bit of Call of Duty Warzone and it's fairly enjoyable.

    Cross platform playing is still such a mind blow to me, never thought id see it. Although playing on a controller Vs someone with a keyboard and mouse is night and day imo.

    Console noobs have been getting owned by PC players since Quake 3 (unofficially).

    Think Shadowrun (the team based XBox 360 shooter) was the first game, or at least first big push for a cross platform game but the failure of that game put future plans in the gutter.

    People found out what version of Quake 3 the DC was build upon, installed it and updated the master list server to the DC version's IP.

    Chaos followed.

    oh 100%, seen some great people playing on controllers, but I try and keep all my fps gaming to my pc. Its what I grew up playing. We used to get 90 mins for lunch in secondary school, used to go down to an internet cafe and play cs for a hour a few times a week with a few friends......an ideal student hah

    Does his setup with the old hardware on a chessboard type floor remind anyone of old 90s CGI / vapourwave?
