Yet another two examples on why the new update makes the PS5 version unplayable
Playing on everybody's favorite map, had major hiccups. I somehow managed to beat the level even with the situation being an amputation of all that is tactical and methodical, when it comes to life and death situations dealing with this map. I was able to see that last guy's shadow, luckily allowed me to counter attack his silenced bullets. Enjoy yet another rant and "shit post"
New update on PS5 makes game borderline unplayable
There are multiple times per mission where the audio will just go completely silent, and the subtitles don't even pop up either. Sound is a huge thing in this game, if you can't even have the subtitles either, you're basically a deaf soon to be dead swat squad leader. It's fuckin ridiculous they need to patch this ASAP, this is game breaking and out right disrespectful. Maybe that's an over shoot but I don't really care.
Not only is the new update underwhelming, there are many times where the audio just completely cuts out. I don't even know what they added to the new update, but it broke the game, and they didn't even fix the things they needed too. Just now I had the audio cut out three separate times on A New America, and I actually died because I couldn't hear the enemies.
First off, just to say I love this game and I have the game platinumed so I'm allowed to criticize the game.
The team AI can be great at times, but in Christ's name, they can be unbearable at times. Actively going against orders, throwing flashbangs at walls, or just wandering the damn map without your input is RIDICULOUS!!! There is absolutely no reason for it.
In the first clip, I told my guys to clear out that stair room to prepare going up, while I got some wedges and cleared the last room. And blue team took it upon their own initiative to begin climbing the stairs. Actually intolerable, actually brain dead, it's stupid. And I cannot tell you how many times one guy or a two will just go wandering as far as they can. Hell, I've told people to stack up on a door, just for them to go around the map, and attempt to stack up on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR "greased palms mostly"
And in the second clip, why the hell are they opening doors without me commanding them to? I mean sure, he wanted to arrest the downed suspect while in the open, and put not only his life in jeopardy, but also the rest of the teams. I closed the door to wedge it, and the guy just took it upon himself to open it and secure the dude. It's unacceptable. Why doesn't he just lead the team? Why isn't he captain, I mean oh, you wanna take it upon yourself to open doors and go up staircases without my command? Go for it.
The arrogance of the team that went "above and beyond" to make the decision to climb up the stairs without my order, costed one of them their lives. And honestly, it was justified. These guys have the aim of a hawk, but they lack discipline. The AI is crap. And it's not just "one off" moments, this is a consistent behavior that keeps on happening and it really frustrates me, and I know it frustrates y'all too.
And before you get to clicking on your keyboard saying "oh well, technically you should have blah blah blah blah." The staircase counts as a whole other threshold from that big room for the simple fact it gives me a "stack up" queue, and the guy opening the door to restrain the downed suspect, there is no excuse.
Thanks for letting me vent, ready or nah here i go again.
Edit: Grammer or whatever. Misspelling etc.
