    I played MudRunner (which I'm assuming this one is a sequel to) and it was just that for me. Not saying it was bad, but it didn't make that click like games like RDR and Days Gone did.

    Days Gone is one I'm playing now.  Bought it on sale.  Even with some of the little glitches that still exist, it's a decent game especially at the the price I got it for.   I'm kind of over the whole zombie thing and I'm finding the gunplay a bit janky.  Also not a fan of some of the missions that require you to sneak through what are essentially staged paths at times.  

    I'm just really getting into it though so we'll see.

    Yeah, I saw the trailer and even had a PS friend mention it to our group.  I like simulators, hardcore survival games, milsims, etc. so I can appreciate some games like these that require more patience, etc.  ......but this one looks like one of those games I would likely play a few sessions and then move on.  My only hope for longevity would have been in the coop as some experiences are best shared IMO, but even that sounds like its a bust.

    Anyone playing CoD:MW and if so.....

    Did try it but it stopped with that, random scrubs i can deal whit, the "adaptive AI" i cant.

    4vs untold number of AI should be predictable spawn patterns only. in the way it is, it required far more "work" then it is worth, and CoD is not a pve teambased shooter, and that clearly shows when you play spec ops.

    Well, since I created this thread I have been able to team up with friends of friends and powered through several of these missions.  While I agree with the enemy spawns which can happen in areas behind you that were just cleared, etc., some aspects to some of the missions were actually quite fun.  It's those situations at certain points that are not but even then, with a group of friends that can work together, I still found enjoyment from it.

    Either way, we are all having much more fun in Hardcore PvP Kill Confirmed and TD.  Still can't wait for Sandstorm though to really scratch that tactical shooter itch.

    Welcome to the forums...

    I don't have an answer for you but given this is PC specific I moved this to that forum in hopes you might get a more targeted answer.

    Thanks. Spec wise my laptop should run the game. Intel i5, GTX 1050 TI 4GB, and 16GB of RAM. 
     

    For the desktop build I have an Intel i7 6700K, GTX 1070 8GB, I believe I have a total of 20GB of RAM. I’ve been slowly procuring these parts over the last three year’s. 
     

    I finally got my case last weekend, a Cooler Master H500 so I can start building. Still need to get a storage SSD, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and desk. 

    Nice.  Does the case come with the power supply or are you going to use one you already have?  What MB are you going with?

    I've been out of the loop so long especially since i retired that I'd have to start from scratch with my research if I built one today.

    I had to shelf it because I simply could not get it to run on my laptop after it’s release. Haven’t tried it since. But with me getting ready to build my gaming desktop in the next weekend or two, I probably try it again on the laptop this weekend.

    I still haven’t settle for a character design on the PC.

    I know folks buy laptops that meet the minimum specs and even exceed that of games they try to run on them.   I also know some laptops can run games that work fine.   .....but what I've noticed over the years is that it seems more people encounter problems trying to run games on laptops than they do on home built PCs for instance that are put together with more standardized components that are known to perform reliably vs. integrated GPUs on a proprietary MB, on-board sound, associated drivers, etc.   

    ......but who knows.  Laptops themselves are commonly produced within the same ODMs (e.g. Inventec, Quanta, Compal, etc.) sometimes an OTS solution without other design requirements other than to put their customers name on the product.  

    I only use laptops these days but only for home business, etc.  (not gaming).  I used to build gaming rigs for that and when I stopped, I switched to PS. 

    Good luck on your build Vendetta.  I kinda miss those days sometimes.

    .....there are ways people have used to force themselves into a session by themselves like accepting some bounty Hunter missions and then avoiding the highlighted area that activates the task. 

    The stores are all open but you won't be able to do everything you would in a public session like perform other roles, missions, etc. Its fine though if you want to hunt, gather, etc.

    Maybe they will add this feature if they haven’t all ready but it would be nice to be able to create invite only lobbies for just you and your friends. It would help out a lot in situations like these. 

    They don't want to for RDO but they also didn't rule it out.  They said they could and perhaps would at some point but have always said it's not in their plans.  Maybe that will change now that PC is on board

    Was wondering if anybody knew what might actually be in the next update. Also does anybody think there’s a chance we ever get new holster positions and draws?

    The fact is that nobody knows for sure.  R* is famous for being tight lipped about such things until the eleventh hour.

    As far as the lockdown having such dramatic effects, that really depends. There are other game companies still developing new games and new content, updates and bug fixes without skipping a beat it seems.  .......all while their employees are working from home.  

    What we do know for sure is that R* is still doing their weekly bonuses, discounts, PvP mode changes, etc. every Tuesday which gets posted in the Online forum.  Here is statement R* released in March so beyond this is speculation:
