Starting point is 00:00:00 I remember there was one dude that we actually, I'm not going to expose him because like, I don't think he actually ended up, uh, or did hack, but I remember there was this one dude, there's big sure that was suss and that we just talk about like, is this my fucking bro? I know what you're talking about. You know, absolutely. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, wait. And it was on to him too. Yeah, we were like, yo, I remember us like in a T. I'm pretty sure we were the ones talking to shit.
Starting point is 00:00:23 We'd be liking, you're looking at the T. I'm pretty sure we were the ones that were like, yeah. You know, wait, wait. How do you just know? They both have Daddy Pop. We're like, wait a second. Go to the stream, bro. Go to the stream.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Welcome back to the Opti Podcast episode 148. It is a happy moment for three week, guys. We're four or five days away from the game dropping. Four. Four? Four days. You knew. I mean, it drops Thursday night.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Bruce and I talked about it basically the whole way down here. We did. How are you guys feeling about the game? Great. I'll let them go first. I'm excited. I mean, I haven't played. I feel like I haven't played cod in forever.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Every time I see your stream, we were playing something else. I'm just so bored. Last night I was just in my chair playing like laid back, and I'm just like, I'm so bored, bro. Like, I'm just playing to play at this point. You've been playing league. You've been playing everything. I started Rocket League.
Starting point is 00:01:24 That's how bored I was. I said Rocket League? Yeah, I was flying cars, bro. That's how bored I'm good. Yeah, Brandon's playing Rocket League. That's how you know we're down back. You hit Champ, didn't you? Yeah, I got heart carried, though.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Yeah, actually, well, like, honestly, like, because not, I saw you were, I forgot the movement. I saw you were champ and then I watched you play and I was like, who's he playing with? He ain't champ. He's got to be playing with someone. I'm probably like a plat. You're a Roomba. What's the room?
Starting point is 00:01:47 You're just always on the ground. I'm a grounder. That's what I call myself. I'm a grounder. Listen, bro, I got like, my dribbling's like messy. So you all we're just talking about the kickoffs. How are you all going to run the kickoffs? Well, I think it's out now that, uh, my boy AG is going to be stuck in Australia.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Australia for a little bit. How long? I don't know. I don't think it's going to be that long. Maybe like a week or two hopefully, but. Damn. We're going to need a fourth though. So, I mean, we try to ask it, Seth.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I'm not playing this. This is our invitation right now. I don't want to play the midnight once because if I'm playing with them, we're going to make it far. And every year, if you make it far in those, you're looking at like 11, 12, like 10, 10 a. And I'm just, I just can't do it. Because if I do that, at my age now, I'm just fucked. Yeah, even if it's a 44-1 and then, it's just because everyone is in like a 2 v2, a 3-3, another 2v2.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Oh, dude, people are just sharking. Yeah, yeah, exactly. If you're a shark or get sharked. Exactly. So we do it. We're going to be sharked. But I'm down for like the day two, day three
Starting point is 00:02:45 journeys. I'm down to play some of those. Yeah, yeah. But day one, y'all, I'm not, y'all got to play on like Byron or some shit. I'm not. Take your pick. Byron, Teage.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Zinn might fucking be jumping for joy to play with you. Probably Teage, honestly. You know, pick up Zinn, man. He's been like, you're not playing with them? I'm like, dude, no. I'm not staying up till 11. We need a sub, though. He's like, what?
Starting point is 00:03:05 Then hit me up. And I'm like, Zinn. If we're replacing A. If we're replacing A.G, we probably should get a sub. So my boy, Tige, yeah. Yeah. He's a good pick. Especially for the kickoffs.
Starting point is 00:03:17 He's a good pick. He's a child. And he's been playing Cold War until like 7 a.m. Every day anyway. He's used to like. He's got to get the fuck off of that. He's going to wake up for the kickoffs. He's going to wake up for the kickoffs.
Starting point is 00:03:26 He's coming in fresh. But yeah, that's tough. Are you guys like, do you know why AG can't make it? Or is it just like Visa? Yeah, it was a visa. Visa issues. We don't know the details. I don't know how.
Starting point is 00:03:35 It was like late when he texts us and I was like setting up my room and I just seen the text and it was just like, I was just numb to it to be honest. I was like, whatever. Okay, cool. Like, you know, I was like the flight was ticking off. I'm like, I can't even respond to this shit. Yeah, I was like, all I sees SOS in the top right. I'm like, damn.
Starting point is 00:03:52 A boy stuck here. It's tragic because like with how quick the year starts this year like two weeks, one to two weeks of him like potentially. not being here, like, that's tough. It's tough. He's still going to be able to play, which is, like, obviously, it's pretty important just to at least because, like, the first month of the game, it's pretty much just learning, like, everything, the mechanics, the meta, I guess, S&D
Starting point is 00:04:17 bombsites, like that, yeah. S&D bombsites, shit, I got them on lockdown. High-rise, what do you want to know? What do you want to know? Yeah, I know. Our team, we're going to mean to ask you. Because they don't know the bombsites? I know the bombsites.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I know the bombsites. It's going to be honest. It's like invasion. I'm like, invasion. trust bro, you apply for cafe. I've played, so I know a little bit for sure. Yeah, we're going to get it. I wonder what the opening maps are going to be in like the kickoffs.
Starting point is 00:04:39 It's got to be like what, Karachi invasion, high rise. The regular ones, yeah. Terminal. Terminal. Terminal. It's going to be fun. Nah, scrap. No way they put scrap in.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Really? For scrap. For scratch. S and not a thing? No. It was a GB. I was saying GBs, I played them for sure. It was a GB variant, but not an MLGV.
Starting point is 00:04:56 It was probably terminal invasion of Karachi. I like High Rise? What are more of the maps? Karachi invasion. Was it high rise? High-rise. Harachi invasion, high-rise, terminal, and scrap for GV.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, but scrap wasn't search. So was there a fifth search or now? I don't think so. They're only four search maps. They might throw scrap in then if there's only four. No, Skid Row wasn't a map either, huh? No, Skid Row wasn't a map. But they might try to make Skid Row on that.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It actually felt pretty, like, turn to respawn it was the best map. Shit, I know Skid Row like the back of my hand right now. I played that for seven hours a day. It was map voting. What maps up? Ball Skid Row again. Skid Row.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Skid Row Dom, here we go. We ain't playing. I wonder if like you can get on top of the plane and shit for terminal. Terminal. Remember how you could get on top of the plane? Dude, that's what I was thinking. I was thinking like the jumps back in a day that were hard. I feel like they'll be easy now to do because like how you can jump and like mantling and everything.
Starting point is 00:05:48 So yeah, you got tax frame. Dude, you can get to the glitch spot. Like you don't even have to do the, where you run off and like climb that ladder. That ladder. You don't even have to do that. You can just climb on top of the other thing and jump straight to it. You just get that trolley ass like. The little mantle, yeah
Starting point is 00:06:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, I'm kind of curious to see Like the kickoff, the initial kickoffs like health You know what I'm saying? Like I wonder how many people are actually going to come back That's true What do you mean? Like I wonder how many teams are going to be in the kickoffs
Starting point is 00:06:15 What do you mean? I feel like it's going to, I feel like it's going to like be pop and start But it's going to die off hella quick Because you guys are going to start scrims immediately Yeah And once you guys start screaming, everyone's like Oh, the pros aren't even playing these anymore They're like, they're just what?
Starting point is 00:06:29 I'm going to go play S&D stars Yeah I feel like kind of kills the vibe of them. It does, it does. Damn. But it kills the vibe of them. So I wonder how, like, healthy they're going to be for the first couple of weeks. Because I know, like, there's a couple.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I know you're throwing your content creator league. You have some other stuff in the works. And then there's the Boston tournament. Yeah. And then other than that, there's probably like they... I think Zuma has the tournament. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:51 They always come out with tournament. I heard about Tom's, but it's like, that one's all CDL players, he said. Yep. It's like, it's pairs of twos and... It's like the duos. You're not throwing you in there? I haven't gotten invited, no. And I heard it's like, isn't it hell of quick?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Like, isn't it four days in or something? I think so. Yeah. No. I got to get my dates up because I just started saying, yeah, to every tourney. I'll just watch part of you. I'm like, what if they're both of the same? I'm just saying, yeah, to every turn.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I was going to say, y'all need a Google calendar or something. Imagine they're like, yo, we in three of these tourneys. We're like, all the big ones that are like Activision has them all blocked off. Which is why I say, yeah, because I have just a suit. But like, you're all the ones? I'm, y'all are going to have a week. it's gonna be a 50k a 20k 25k yeah 80k I'm down for that though that those are usually fun it's fun other than the times you get stacked on but I don't think so yeah I
Starting point is 00:07:36 saw the calendar there's like there's a week where it's like a lot of shit oh really there's like a lot of shit back to back to damn just throw another major in baby some of them I think but like the Boston the Boston one there's there's like two that are like that like where it's like content creators yeah and well they always have Like, yeah, well, I'm playing with AG and a fourth, but I don't know if AG's playing anymore, so I don't know what the fuck's going on there. No, he's playing.
Starting point is 00:08:05 He can play 300 paying. That's true. I'm just saying AG, brother, you just got to go in, man. You don't even know what's good. Just go in. He's like, what are the attachments? He's like, don't worry about it. He's like, don't worry about it. He's like, don't worry about that shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Just plant the fucking bump. You got to do something. Because you, dude. Wait, would Australia pin worse to East Coast or West Coast? It's worse to West Coast? I'm pretty sure. He's, no, no, I think it's... What?
Starting point is 00:08:34 Is it not? I think it's better to West. I thought East Coast was like all the way across. No, when I play, like, when I... I'm pretty sure when I play, like, um, Apex with him. It's worse when I was in L.A., I think. I could be wrong, because he was on 200 p. He's just five.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Trust me, there's no... I don't know if it's better for East Coast, but I just know for a... Can he, like, fly to London or something? Wouldn't that be better? That's what he's trying to do. Yeah. I think yeah I think actually I don't know if the details are out but I think he's but do we just say it?
Starting point is 00:08:59 Yeah just say it. I mean like he's going to London so to get his visa renewed there he's going to be playing out there for a week yeah or like to wherever yeah I mean it's not like a big secret that's really not that big deal isn't it I mean it's not that big of a deal I mean people were gonna find out regardless of like dude I just got 300 paying every man it's like they have the I don't think net his ass it's like someone to fix you and then they're all just tagging Maddie they're like fix his son of bro like what the fuck yeah it's yeah that's yeah no you guys would be good though you
Starting point is 00:09:25 You guys will be chilling. So when do you all think you're going to scrimm? We're going a little bit off script here. But when do you all think you're going to start scrimms up with all the tournaments? I think the second week. I think the second week teams are going to start playing. Second week? Yeah. So there's always that one player or one team? Lamar. Yeah, Lamar like Clay's instant. They're starting day too. Clay's starting day too. Lamar might be skipping kickoffs. Lamar skipping kickoffs going over strats. I remember every year I'd be pissed at them. I'd be like, can y'all like enjoy the game for a couple days? Like, Clay is one of the one. No scrims. I'm like, came home.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yeah, bro. Then you play them, their breakoffs are insane. I'm like, damn, I just got double-named. The couple days you do stream scrimms, they're slamming you, and it's like, dude. These guys been playing already. They know what, like, they're just early around to the money. And then they start saying optics fuck this year. And then it's just every single year.
Starting point is 00:10:13 You got to avoid scrimbing those teams. Every year. So you all think within the first week you'll start screaming? I think some teams will, for sure. It's going to be tough, though, with like all those tournaments, because every, there's going to be a couple players. Yeah, I was about the issue is that some players. some teams are attorneys and their teammates aren't.
Starting point is 00:10:27 So that's like the worst part of it. Like your teammates are an attorney and you're like, you can't even scream. You can't play. You're not an attorney. You're just watching. It's like, we should have just,
Starting point is 00:10:35 damn, we should have played this. You're always like that. I was going to say like, with all the tournaments, how do you like decide which ones to play and which ones not to play? Just based on the prize pool? I just buy them.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Listen, all the big ones I'm yes and. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, listen, if you know, listen, I'm down. You kind of have to. Just ever hits me up, I'm down. I trust me, I'm only in like two or three and there's like five or six. Well, Davis has four.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I have four. Well, Davis says he has the schedule. Wait, so invite me to all those. He has four alone. He's going to invite me to all those or whoever else needs to spot. But one of them y'all aren't in. One of them's like a strictly content creator one, which is. No, they're in that.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Sure. But they're playing with like creators too. Oh, so it's like. He's playing with like Val people. Is it like all optic people in there? Yeah, it's an optic tournament. That one's an optic tournament. Oh, so it's like a big month long optic thing.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Everyone here is like in that. Okay, cool. So then, okay, I didn't know you guys were in that one, but then like, if you talked about your other ones or now? Not yet. But, yeah, I DM them. They're invited to that one too. I'm not for all of them.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Listen, whoever is just throwing it, invite? Hit me up for sure. The best time of the year. Oh, those are so. It's such a fun week, bro. It's such a fun, like three weeks. And then it's like, but then, see, I'm like selfish. Once you start screaming, that's when it's like.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Now that we do the watch party, I can't wait for the CDL to start back up. Because, like, y'all have been bored, like, you guys are going to be scrimming every day? Like, think about us. Like, we're not going to be screaming every day. We'll be, like, fucking around. I think we're going to try to, like, play challengers. But, like, once the CDL comes out, it's like, we have shit to do every weekend. My boy might have to spawn back in.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Like, in challenges? Yeah, that'd be fun. Right now, it's me, Nate, Boz and Zinney. That'd be fun. Yeah, we're just going to fuck around. Yeah, I'll just say it. That's for fun. Roll each other, yell at each other and someone fucks up.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Like, it's going to be super not serious. I think we're going to play in like the first couple Challenger's Cups. We'll see how long it lasts. But we can't play at the Lance because of the watch part. Those streams are going to bang. Yeah. Yeah, we're just going to be troll each other. We're just going to be scrimming like amateur teams.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Hopefully slamming. It might be the other way around. It might be the ones getting slam. But we'll see how it goes. I'm excited. That's all I'm going to think about. That's all I've been thinking about since the beta drop. Since the beta left, I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:48 I think that's the most I've ever played a beta. like because I think it's the only beta I've played that I didn't leave like super checked yeah no saying like three years well the past like I feel like the past three years or so like there's been like so little to play during the off season that when the beta comes out it's like a breath of fresh air for everybody it's like even if you're playing the same three maps yeah at least for those six days you're like fuck yes like I know what I'm playing cods out dude it was not like that for for model warfare too though that last year Dude, I was like, that beta was so bad.
Starting point is 00:13:23 We were playing that one map, but it was, what, copyright? Was it? Oh, yeah. You're playing the, like, this is a 20B 20 map, bro. The museum map over and over and over again. Oh, yeah, it was that. Yeah, it was bad. Wait, with like the three-story buildings?
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah, that one was annoying. This last card was horrible, bro. I'm delicious. Oh, I'm on, bro. Yeah, well, popping daddy with the radio? I was afraid to move on the map. Dude, I was afraid to move in search. I could.
Starting point is 00:13:49 I just knew they heard me. I was like, this is so fucking watch. I could even move in there sometimes. I was running the trophy on Mercado. Shit. They went B. Damn. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:56 oh. Oh, yeah. Then you're just stomping towards, just crouch walking to bomb. Rotate and stomping over to the back alley. That's job. Waiting from the child top 10, hopefully. I have one play run to bomb.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Cut noise. I'm like, fuck, I hope he's up here. Just playing Farm 18. Hopefully he scams and jumps out. Arm 18. I don't think I've played that map once after the beta. Everyone was like this. Actually, no, it was internees like in the beginning of the game.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Yeah, every attorney. Yeah, everyone just hit that bottom site. There's just mayhem on that bottom site every fucking round. There's nine doors and people are going outside, inside the apartments. It reminded me a lot of like IW search, because IW search was all just like bang a bomb. You'd four bang a bomb, hopefully you win your gunfights.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Or hopefully you have a power up. Dude, when you pop daddy in the beta, your whole body would pulse. Yeah. That was like the whistle that it used to make. That was still in the game. No, it was still in the game. I didn't hear it all the time. What?
Starting point is 00:14:49 Really? Yeah. Yeah, you could hear it a lot more. I feel like you could hear it a lot more if you were watching though. If you were playing, it was like very faint. But when you were watching and the gameplay audio was cranked, dude, it was like a ringing. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I actually liked it. I like that like sound. You're insane. You're insane. It just was like, it's like, oh, he's not to make a plan. It actually, it kind of got me hype. It would be like kind of like if you heard it in MW2. last year and the guy was below you and you heard him poppy you're like oh fuck yeah where is he he could
Starting point is 00:15:22 it's like a horror movie at that point now this year's gonna be crazy because we went from like full-on sound-horring sound EQ last year to now like people have dead silence again thank god so it's gonna be crazy people are gonna look clueless I wonder people are gonna run in here like rank kids are gonna look clueless yeah because I actually knew it was going on last year like some of the rank kids like they're sound horring you yeah they have oh shit oh and they're cheating but but they're walling by the way but now we're going to know if they're walling. Yeah, yeah, now we're going to know if they're wall. Nice awareness.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Little too good right there, huh? Yep. Jimmy just whipped around and pre-armed. And I have fully, I'm fully silent. What's that? It has to be an animal. Yeah, I'm hype. I feel like this year.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I'm so hype. I know we keep saying it. It's kind of of a cliche at this point in the cod community. But like I feel like this year is actually going to be a good year, at least in search. I'm worried about y'all's hard point because the, The bond system was crazy. Dude, it makes no sense. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:20 But at least we have red dots so we can somewhat make sense of the spons. That's how I see it. Because red dots make it to where you know, like, where people are, and, like, you actually predict the spawn. Yeah. Wait, did you all play any of those beta tournaments? No. No. Damn.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I never do either. I kept two people complain about those because you have to, like, cue against other people, like. 66. Yeah, you have to find them, like, that's, nah. Yeah, that's. I'm not. Every time I see. People tweet out like, you know, need three for 12s.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I'm like, so. Just wait for the game, man. I'm like, too. Like, come on. Like, come on, guys. Like, yeah. And then they're like, don't join the TAS. I just got fucking costed in this fucking money 12s lobby.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Like, money 12s. Money 12. Money 12. What are we playing, baby? Like, play for 10 bucks. It's like, bro, like, how do we not know they spawn out? I pop the UAV? Like, I popped the UAVs and shit.
Starting point is 00:17:11 But I also want to ask you guys, we just got the, obviously, confirmation that controls third game mode, is that like, is that like, are you guys happy about that? Because I personally, selfishly wanted to see CTF. Because you know it's going to work on these maps. Well, me, I'm a little biased to control because I've always liked control. I feel like my team's always been good at control.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I actually like control too. Me, I don't know. I'm kind of biased towards this. I actually enjoy control. I don't mind CTF, but it's also very can be. I can't stand control ASILO. That's a fucking guarantee. I didn't like it either.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I'm loving that. I'm loving that. You like that map? Yeah, because I got the run a perma AR on that map. I'm just literally running around doing whatever. Dude, when you got in the Asillo Blender, when there were like subs in the bottom bar and shit, and you're just getting in,
Starting point is 00:17:56 and you're spawning out. And you're spawning out the window and hope, like, oh, dude, there's sometimes I started like 2 and 15 on that map and streams. I'm like, I don't know what y'all want for me. I'm getting sound hard. Like, yeah. Yeah, you want me to go mid? I can't, yeah, I'll go.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Oh, yeah. So, yeah, he's playing a credit in there, sound hard. G-jue. Someone's in your spawn, has daddy. keeps killing and getting more daddy. Oh. It was miserable. It's just like,
Starting point is 00:18:19 in a corner. The no deadi for is kind of crazy. It's just like not everyone getting it at least. Yeah. I think it's cool that there's still a field upgrade for it. Oh, I didn't see that. So it's like Vanguard.
Starting point is 00:18:30 You remember how it was in Vanguard? You could use Ninja, but like if you wanted to use double time, you could just use the field upgrade for Daddy. But I was just about to ask that question because they have the boots, right? And then you have to like the slide boots. Yeah. So you have to use the slide boots.
Starting point is 00:18:42 So then there is still deady with the slide boots. So it's gonna be like Vanguard, which I love. So like you still keep like the fast, like pace like a... Wait, y'all, you think you have to use the slide boots? I think you do. Really? Because your gun just turned. You like, you like the gun turn thing?
Starting point is 00:18:54 Like your gun like lean to the side for a second. Oh, like when you're sliding in someone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The tactical stance. Yeah, yeah. So if you don't use the boots, it makes your gun like does lean for a second. So you think it's going to be... I think you have to run that.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah, especially. And it's not as fast, too, I think, right? Come on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, but he said that you have. Come on. Here I am thinking everyone's gonna have Deadi this year Everybody's gonna have sliding boots
Starting point is 00:19:18 With the Deady field up No no no I'm kidding me It's kind of like It's like World War II Remember how there was Mound and Incidiscuous You don't talk about? Oh yeah there was Mound Nika
Starting point is 00:19:26 Hopefully there's like a respawn meta But one was more quiet than other though It was a mountain Yeah mountain was like completely silent But it's like actually not I should have said it's like vanger Because in Vanguard Daddy and Ninja were both fully silent
Starting point is 00:19:37 But one was like for an entire round You know what I'm saying Okay But you lost like double time For example And then the other one is a field like where So you only had it for a little window for like 10 seconds. So you have to use it like in a, I guess like in a wise situation.
Starting point is 00:19:49 You know what I mean? But at the same time like, I don't know. But isn't tax stands only if you like long slide them? Like if you like side cancel them. I think it's only if you aim in with the slide. Yeah. So like if you're trying to long slide someone. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:00 But I feel like any, it's not terrible. But it's not that big of a deal. I don't think it's not because it's not that long. But I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'll get checked like if I'm doing it. If I'm doing it. Oh yeah. Why is your gun leading, bro?
Starting point is 00:20:16 He just calls that one shot. You're like, my boy, my boy, bro. You know exactly how he died if he's panic calling? He's one shot. I was like the one thing that you're caught next. Got stuck in taxes. You slide once, you're like, whoa, what the... What was that?
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah. You glide with the boots, bro. I didn't think I've ever even used the boots. I just used... I was so hyped that Daddy was in it and I didn't even take it off. I put Teddy on every class. Yeah, yeah. It never took it off.
Starting point is 00:20:41 We just went from a cod with no dead. Well, technically there was... I guess, daddy, but now, like, there's two deadies. There's options. Yeah. But it's nice. I think it's crazy that sledgehammer basically, like, trolled. I'll probably use the, the perma one.
Starting point is 00:20:53 If I can, if I can get away with using the perma one. I think S&D Turnees, yeah, the perma one. It's, I'm using Permo. Because in Vanguard, that's, like, it was good to use, like, well, at least I use Ninja online, but. But for the pros, it might be weird because if y'all are, like, obviously switching game modes and variant, like, you guys, it might, like, fuck people up. Because one, one map you're using sliding boots, then you go into a search,
Starting point is 00:21:10 and now you got tax stance again. That would fuck me up sometimes for sure That's true I feel like on land I'll probably just use like the The field upgrade Oh yeah Because like you don't have to worry too much about
Starting point is 00:21:18 On land My head says My earphones are blasted Yeah that is true I'm blasted I'm risking it all On Land Mine is black
Starting point is 00:21:28 Like My teammates used to be roasting me Because my like My head said so loud Byron used to play with his shit cranked Byron was a war But listen this is like This is from major one
Starting point is 00:21:37 Or major three We played that point He played with his shit cranked. We finished the map. This is actually comedy. We lost like 250, like 210. We lost like a close-ass-h-vian on Tuskins in Florida. And then we're like, all good, all good, all good. And then Byron goes, yo, my shit
Starting point is 00:21:50 is, yo, I feel like I'm in war. And I just seem fucking with the mix-in. I look down the line and I just see Byron like like, dude, he looked like he was just like, he didn't know what was going on, bro. I was like, oh my God. I was like, turn your shit down, he was like, yo, I didn't know what
Starting point is 00:22:08 was happening, Matt. He was just banging, bro. Because, bro, when your audio is that loud, sometimes it makes, like, the game feel faster. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're not preaming anything. Oh, you're just running. The Vanguard. He's just running. You're just running.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Especially in Vanguard, slide canceling. You're just running it down. He's probably like, dude, these guys are banging the hill. He's like, all he's doing his nades and just like, bang. See, you brought up CTF. I don't think CTF would work with the spons. Because the thing with the spot, like, CTF spons and in Monorfer 2 were good because they were like so traditional.
Starting point is 00:22:40 like, dude, with whatever spawn system was in the beta? Well, I heard they're like, I heard they're tweaking the spawn system. Oh, really? There's no way they can leave that for hardpoint. There's just no way. If they do like, y'all are fucked. No way is crazy. There's a way. If they don't tweak hardpoint spawns,
Starting point is 00:22:57 at least from pubs, it looked like, it just looked insane. That's true. It just feels like you have to hard block in this game. Yeah, but no one's hard. No, dude, see? Because on a state on that back, on the back of... Like the electrical one? Like the...
Starting point is 00:23:12 Where the dock is. Like the dock? Oh, the boat house. Dude, there were times where I was standing like on the rock there and they'd spot right behind me still. Yeah, that was mind-blower.
Starting point is 00:23:19 You don't have to block then. So it's like even if you hard block sometimes it just says, nope. Hard block is not a thing anymore, bro. People don't hard block. No. People don't hard block. No, you actually, to give MW2 credit,
Starting point is 00:23:30 you kind of had to hard block certain spots. Yeah, but that was only like... Yeah. Like, people aren't sitting up for it. People are just like, you get kills and then people are like, hard block. No, like P1 on like Albaugra, you had to hard block, you had to hard block like
Starting point is 00:23:42 the stairs. Oh, that's true. Yeah, like, on like dark on P5 where you had to block the dark spawn, you had to stay stage. Like, you had the hard block in certain scenarios. And that's just Albara. That's true, that's true. So it's like, I'll give it credit for that. The spawns actually, you did have to play somewhat structured. Like there was a rotation like, yo, you can leave now, I spawn, now
Starting point is 00:24:00 I'm hardblocking. I don't want to gas that game at though. Oh, the game was horror. I don't even want to say probably. It was the worst call duty ever made. was up there, dude. Yeah. Did y'all play the campaign? No. I did.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I did. How was it? I liked it. A lot of people were talking shit on it, which I understand because I haven't played a campaign in probably like a decade. So like they had like open combat missions. Y'all didn't play the campaign? No. No.
Starting point is 00:24:25 No. I saw voice critical. I'm not going to last. So they had like open combat missions and you literally like loot like guns and plates and armor vests and you can kind of like pick how you wanted to play the mission. but it was like five hours long I played it on veteran and I liked it I had fun with it but then again I
Starting point is 00:24:43 could have fun with just about anything I was just trolling the whole fucking yeah I was like running up the civilians hitting them fucking go you know I was like I was having fun with it but I thought it was fun it's being getting blasted though it has been getting blasted yeah so that's why it's kind of hard for me
Starting point is 00:25:01 because they've played every campaign right right if you're a campaign I had a text page yeah but I guess like I guess she knows that's like my default order. Did you get some? Yeah, I just got this to eat. And I got this has to be my. This is my.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Process of elimination is a beautiful thing, boys. Yeah, go ahead, man. Doge. Worst things that happen to you just stole Riley's coffee. Imagine he's just so checked. He hates me forever. Just praise on my downfall. Riley could never.
Starting point is 00:25:30 All right. It says Shotsie says he will play Halo Infinite next year if he's allowed. He's going to dual compete. See? That's dope though. I've always thought about that Like somebody's doing it If there's one person that could do it
Starting point is 00:25:42 It's this motherfucker I agree Oh no he I've been watching him play like late night And he like he's been playing two Looks like the best friend in the lobby sometimes Yeah he's been playing twos Against like renegade and Tusk And like he was beating M on maps with boo boo boo
Starting point is 00:25:53 Like he's nasty Yeah he's nasty Does he want to play during the year Or like after the year? I think he meant more so I think he meant after I think he had five months off bro Like he should be allowed to do whatever
Starting point is 00:26:07 Well At least in my opinion I thought he was going to try to do it this year But then he like just didn't But I thought he was gonna try to play this year There's no way I mean I guess there is a way I'm fine in this thing
Starting point is 00:26:18 That's so sad to say oh yeah Oh yeah You're triple kill I'm like damn I'm frying Or perfect That's what you think You think somebody could dual compete In 2023?
Starting point is 00:26:28 One million percent Yeah Really Yeah This guy could do for sure I think these two games for sure I think Halo and cod for sure I think somebody
Starting point is 00:26:36 I think some like if Because he's came from Halo So I feel like it's different because he can just get on and be still good at Halo You know what I mean? Like it's just like I guess you just have to take one more serious than the other I agree
Starting point is 00:26:48 Because like imagine whatever team he's on in Halo is like Yo get on a scrim today But think about it though His Halo 5 team they didn't scrim and they won Like that's true It's different but I'm just saying Like there there's some possibility there Because he definitely
Starting point is 00:27:01 If he was playing Kyle at the time He would have been taking Kyle more serious And he weren't even scrimming on Halo He's got to be talking about like after the year though There's no way, like, there's no way he can. Kind of like, yeah. Yeah, he can't play Halo. Like, he could have played at this Halo's champs.
Starting point is 00:27:13 He can't chalk. I think with the COD schedule, it's hard. Like, with the scrim schedule and everything, it's definitely hard. Because it's six days a week, at least for the most part. Like, there's. It's in like the prime hour, one to six, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, one to seven, one to eight, depending on, like, your team and how much you go over shit.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I mean, dude, we were doing 11 to fucking, like, eight last year. You remember that shit? We'd get on and just, like, we learned embassy. Dude, we were doing, you were doing, you were doing the same, You're like, damn, they spawned there again. I forgot embassy for it. They're like, they spawn milk. We'd be like, yo, we think we figure some shit out.
Starting point is 00:27:46 We see another vibe. We're like, oh my God, we're back to square one. This doesn't work. Now, watching Vod just made you tweak last year. Oh, for sure. I watched a lot. And I can tell you, I was super tweaking. Just play the game.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I'm coming with questions going as a champs. How did this spawn just happen? It's literally champ. You're in the warm-up before the first series. You're like, what the fuck? They spot in the back. I'm watching a series. I'm like, wait, did y'all see that spawn?
Starting point is 00:28:11 Like, what the hell? Oh, yeah. We saw a lot of weird ones doing the watch party, for sure. Especially, like, for some reason, like prom time, like, 2.30, 2.30 hard points. I swear, like, it was guaranteed a small. It was like some G-S spawn was going to happen. Because I guess everybody was tweaking on the map, so they were just probably blocking everything. But I'm watching, like, waiting for the spawn to happen.
Starting point is 00:28:31 It had to be, like, in the, like, system where late in game after a certain, like, both teams, like, eclipse, 4-50 points. that the fucking sponsors just gonna... Everything's shot. Let's just make a mixie his phone. Free for all. All logic's just gone.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Where's he gonna spawn? That's what you see 248, 2.48, like this guy just spawns out. It's literally just who's clutching at that point. Who's gonna win the 1v1? Randomly, who breaks it open? Or who just sound horrors? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:55 True, true, true. Yeah, I remember formal saying he wanted to do it whenever Halo 5 was out. Play Halo 5 and Blackups 3. Halo 5 was a game. That game was so fun. I competed in that game for a minute and it was, bro.
Starting point is 00:29:05 I heard that was like the funest Halo. It was so fun to play. It was so fun. It was just so cracked. True. It was just like, it's Jet Packs, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah. It's basically like, it's, imagine you had thruster the whole time. Yeah. But it obviously had like a cool down, like how it has an ounce, but pistol starts.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Like, it's just like the bandit, but it's a pistol. With the thrust and maybe. I would have liked it if it was, if they just resumed the pistol to a bandit. I agree. Was there a slide? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:31 there's a slide. It's basically the same exact movement, but with this permathrust. There was like a ground power. and shit. Yeah. It was like a ground pound and like you could like what was it called when you could like suspend yourself in the air?
Starting point is 00:29:42 You can like hover yeah. You just like hover in there. Like you just aimed in and you just hovered in there. Yeah. That game was kind of like I'm not going to like that game was insane. It was it was fun. It was fun to watch but it was fucking cracked. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:56 But that was the cool thing about that Splice team is they just didn't scrim people. They just played two v twos against each other. They're like everyone's ass. True. I mean. That's insane. I mean there was just such a crazy. skill gap. It was like if you were better, it was like AW.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Like if you were better, you could just shit on someone. Yeah. Over and over and over again. Like they didn't really have a chance. I think you can't do that in con. AW. AW. Kind of B-O-3. IW. Not even, not really.
Starting point is 00:30:22 But just like two to be two your teammates to get better? Like not play, yeah. I think AW is probably like the best like option for that. You didn't scrim and like you were just two between AW probably. Yeah, probably. They just fight fight fight. Like you just fight on a spot. I mean, you could just break a hell. You could just, you could just, just, you just, you could just, you just,
Starting point is 00:30:36 Rip him off a heady real quick Your setup's broken You're just chowling Nobody's thinking about any spawns on AW You're just chowling It's like oh gunfight here Gunfight there Oh shit on
Starting point is 00:30:45 Oh I got shut on Literally I feel like that's how all Jetpack games are Has anybody even done like a throwback On AW? Like I once last time anybody played it I think they ruined the game though With the then they nerfed the bow
Starting point is 00:30:56 And the ASM one to the ground Like they actually really really bad Yeah I hate when they do that shit They did that with the Like now all Blockups three throwbacks Everybody uses the Kuda Yeah the VMP was like
Starting point is 00:31:06 Because they just destroyed the VMP. They did that in Black Ops too as well. Like they just destroyed the MSMC. So people were using like the, like a scorpion and whatever.

Starting point is 00:34:55 I played two like two full days of stream on it. Yeah. Okay. What does it mean OGO? It's just a map. It's not. even OGA, it's just the map. It's not even OG 4. You're still going to play kids that are building
Starting point is 00:35:06 well, no, I'm playing no builds. We tried one game of builds because Jack joined our game and like, he was just like, let's just try one. Because the thing with OG Fortnite or Fortnite right now is if you play no build and you play quads. Is this straight gunny? No. 60% of your game are AI.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Like not even kidding. Like they are bots. Like how many people are actually playing no builds? It's like, Jack said that like every every like no build game you're in, get like 10 teams that are actually real. And then the whole rest of the lobby is like... So basically half the lobby are AI.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Sounds kind of fun. Get it. You ever play the game? It's not. It's not. You ever play the game Titanfall? Uh, yeah, way back. The first, I played the first one. That's why I like didn't like that game because I feel like I was never killing real people. I was just killing AI the whole time.
Starting point is 00:35:49 That's like, that's just lame. It's not satisfied. But you know if they're AI? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. This is definitely lame. Their name has, it's always like a fucking rose pedal 78.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I'm tweaked. I thought you meant like. They're just so assed at their AI. No, they're literally robots. They are legit robots. Also like an actual bot. Yeah. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Okay, never mind. That's not fun at all. No. So like you played that for like two hours. I thought he was like everyone's ass. But like except for like 10 kids. So you play it for two hours and you're just like your dope is so checked.
Starting point is 00:36:20 It's like, dude, I've killed a robot for the 30th time. There's no median. You're either cracked. It's like all bills and then you're no bills just playing bots. Yeah. It's tough. But there is ranked. So like if you play ranked.
Starting point is 00:36:31 but it's ranked on a OG 4-9, no-build is only duos and solos. So that you'll get all real people in for the most part. There's still bots in it. You'll get mostly real people. Damn. You just get to champ.
Starting point is 00:36:45 But you can only play duos. So if you have like three, four people, you're just beat. You got to play bots. You're building. It's full of the two. Like, Halo, whenever somebody fills and you see three-four-three in their client's eye, you're like, damn, that wasn't as cool as I thought I'm never on.
Starting point is 00:36:56 You see there was five million people playing, though? Five million people. I will say, though, it was fun. It was fun. Like, it's fun for a couple hours until you get checked by the bots. But it's, like, it's pretty fun. But it's not OG because, like, there's Sprint. So Sprint's in the game.
Starting point is 00:37:11 There's a lot of things that weren't an OG Fortnite that are in the game. Like, were the mushrooms and apples in OG Fortnite? Yeah, like, there's like consumables on the ground. The guns are all the same. There wasn't the plunger. The plunger's in the game, but that wasn't an OG Fortnite, right? No, no. The plunger, like the plunger gun where you like, it's like a grapper gun?
Starting point is 00:37:28 A grapple, yeah. Riffs. There weren't riffs, I don't think. I think there were riffs, but they weren't, you weren't popping them. Like, you could, like, they were just on the ground. Yeah, like, they have the snow globe that you shake. So it's not like, it's, it's not OG, but it's, it scratches the it's still fun. I'll probably play it today for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:37:48 44.7 million players total. That was going to have been saying. God, what? Yeah. I don't like, oh, holy shit. I don't want to sound like a hater, but I don't really see, like, the buzzer around four night. They're just all young, young kids. That's got to be what it is, right?
Starting point is 00:38:01 Yeah. Well, I think it's now as a combination because, like, it was so popping in 2018 when we were all playing it. That's why some people are just playing it because just to, like, I guess, get that old feel, I guess. I don't know. I think it's just because it's the first free to play BR and it was on console because there was no. That is also true. There were no console BRs. And then also Fortnite, like, it is a, they invented crossplay. Like, crossplay never existed before Fortnite. And, yes.
Starting point is 00:38:31 it's it was i guess yeah they are like the o g in some ways and so i mean this is like this is the way that i see fortnight at least to me is like it kind of ushered in like the next generation to like video games in my opinion it's like call of duty brought our generation up halo brought our generation up like fortnight is like the new generations like cod halo like people love that shit like the amount of people's just like overall fan bases that blew up from the game shows that there's so many new people playing it it's dude what do you guys thing is like the average age of like the player base in Fortnite. 12.
Starting point is 00:39:06 12. I was going to say like 14. Yeah, there's definitely like 18 year olds. Obviously like probably, you know, 30 year olds. There's a lot of eight year olds. 30 year olds that's a play. It's eight year old friendly, that's for sure. But that's why there's a lot of bots like, we were saying on stream, it's like if
Starting point is 00:39:19 you were an eight year old and you got home and you're killing bots, you don't know any better. You're like, fuck yeah. There's shit on it. Yeah, you don't know if it's a bot. They're probably so hype. They're like, I'm getting pretty good at the shit. Wait, so the bots don't ever shoot back. Dude.
Starting point is 00:39:30 you can like literally stand in front of them and do this and they won't hit a bullet it's crazy that is that that it's crazy they're like even worse than recruit even a recruit by yeah i did it like five times i was like my ammo bro i had to tell the team like don't shoot this guy and i just go up in front of him and just wiggle in front of him he'd hit no bullets like and then you just pump him in the face that is so enough yeah it's it's not it's but it scratches like a itch and again there's been nothing to play so this shit came out of the face that is You all played the finals? You stopped playing Apex?
Starting point is 00:40:03 Yeah. I stopped playing Apex because, dude, they all got, like, their champs happened. And then this is like a month in the future, a month and a half in the future. So now they started screaming again. So from two to six, there's nobody. You are playing pros every fight. And like people, and I'm like taking breaks. I was at Isabel's sister's wedding.
Starting point is 00:40:23 We had Cod Nex. So like you come back after 10 days and not playing. And you're matching how? Oh, dude. It's just like, it's insane. insane. Yeah. So I stopped playing it. Halo's been fun though. I've been playing Halo. I'm not going to lie. But it just gets to a porn where I'm just...
Starting point is 00:40:40 You start, I'm dude, like, if I'm just blaming teammates. If I get like eight hours into like a rank session on Val or Halo, they're both pretty related about this point out, I'm just like, as far as I just noticed the ocean, I'm like, why the fuck did I just get knated off? I'm like, who just nating, bro? I'm like, who just naiding, bro? Like, what are we needing, bro? Like, what are we thinking, bro? I was, I was playing Hale off stream just by myself. And I was like, damn, I'm bored as for, like, just waiting. Just waiting for MW3.
Starting point is 00:41:02 I'm just playing oddball. My teammate has literally two seconds, but he has no kills, no damage. What the fuck are you doing on the mat? You got to grab him the ball. We're not putting Dammy down. It's like, as soon as the game ends in Halo, I like race to the scoreboard.
Starting point is 00:41:14 I'm like, I got to see how much damage these. I got to see. If I have two seconds. I have a hundred more damage than the rest of my teammate, I'm like, dude, I just got costed. Dude, like, if we just team shot this one, dude, we just win the match. We got rockets.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Then no, no, no. But that game is honestly, Halo is pretty refreshing. When you're flowing in that game, it feels so good. Yeah, it's satisfying. Do you like the DMR start or the bandit start? Is that the... I enjoy it because, like I said,
Starting point is 00:41:39 it's similar to H5 start with the single shot. So I like single shot better. I never like the BR, to be honest. The BR was pretty easy to use, but I kind of like the aesthetic of it. It was pretty satisfying when you got to kill. Just a burst and like the way it reloaded. But like the overall, I guess, like, skill gap is way better with the bandit.
Starting point is 00:41:55 It's because it's... But you can finesse. If your shields get cracked, you can kind of Finescent movement. Got a finesse a head shot, but I don't know. The BR was one of those three balls are going to hit the head. Dude, I got Onyx in four hours. Yeah, I'm not, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:09 It was insane. Who are you playing with? Brown. Means in. It took us 10 games. Really? Yeah, I swear to God, I got placed into like Diamond 5 off of play placements and then just got thrown into I.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I ain't a lot. The game's friend game, though? He probably did. I appreciate that's how it. I had to have. That's how it works. If you placed onics in the beginning of the game, it just put you in the highest, like, diamond yeah yeah I remember there were like two ranks at the beginning I don't know if it's
Starting point is 00:42:34 still like that that's why I don't know what they didn't do that halo age five they had onics and then they had they had champ that sounds so it was like top 250 basically but it was called champ uh so so you get like champ one like that was fun to play like yeah your champ one is obviously like typical you know sledgehammer can we not call it top 250 this year it's not it's not fun to say wait what was it was iridescent is that like the one below it yeah iridescent is that like the one below it. Yeah, iridescent is so much better than top 250. And what was the one below it? Crimson, right? Crimson. I thought crimson was dope. See, crimson and iridescent, that's sick. But calling it top 250, like, can we call it? Maybe I just buy it's for Val, but I think.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Red? No, I just liked the word crimson. Well, crimson is a red, right? That's like a shade of red. Yeah, yeah. Super red. That's what I'm saying. I think you just like the color. I'm not an iridescent type of person. I don't like, because. I loken. You got the red lightsaber. Now he's got the green light saber. But green's my favorite color. I like, yeah, green's actually my favorite color. You were just playing into like the villain role? Well, yeah. The Sip. See, if I'm like outside looking at, I could have swore you like the color red, though.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I guess I didn't know shit. I'm not going to lie, though. I'll give this to Rive. I think they actually kill like the, like, for example, in Valle, I think Immortal is such a cool name for a rank. Yeah, and Radiant. They're both so sick. But I think Immortal, low-key should, like, if I could flip, like, both of them. You would flip them?
Starting point is 00:43:53 Immortal. Immortal should be. The hill. You're immortal, bro. Like, you're Unkill. You finally made it. You got a mortal.
Starting point is 00:44:01 But I just like the, I just like the, yeah, I mean, flipping it would be cool. Radiant. But they're both cool. They're both. Top 250 is immortal. That would be sick. Isn't the other one called, didn't they add ascendant? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:11 That's like the one. That's what they troll in the league. And Lee, they add a one called Emerald. And it's like, it's not good. Yeah. It's just like, it's kind of summer. At least in Dalcas in Diamond, because that was the one below it. And then they had to add something between that and immortal, I guess,
Starting point is 00:44:26 because there's way too many people in Immortal. I don't even know how they fucking judge that shit, but I'm not going to lie. Aero, what is it called? Erudic is the worst rank in the game. Because, like, you randomly play gods, but then you randomly will get absolute bots. So it's like...
Starting point is 00:44:39 Oh, like, yeah. Like, if you're solo queuing? When I'm smurfing. Yeah. Dude, I would solo queue in Crimson and I would only get top 250 kids. I'm like, dude, just like playing fucking scumming and, like, every game.
Starting point is 00:44:54 And or hackers. Yeah. Just like, oh my God, oh, no, dude. Really? I'm so scared to that. Yeah, when I would play, when I was in Crimson, I only played, like, iridescent people. Dude, that's weird because, like. Probably because the hackers killed that shit.
Starting point is 00:45:11 When we were playing, like, season one, I feel like we never matched with, like, people we knew. Yeah. Like, it was always, like, just rank kids. We never played, like, anybody. Like, I got pros on the other team. I was excited, but, like, it was rarely. Yeah, like, never. Well, you would never, like, but that was season one.
Starting point is 00:45:26 The season two, they like buffed the, or they, they change the ranking system. So, like, you start, and that's when I stopped playing, because that's when it was just cheaters every game. Dude, it was so bad. Whenever you saw some random-ass kid with the purple flames, I'm like, I never heard of this, dude, this is going to be a long one. Drops 15 in search. I don't know, that was pretty cool. The flame was pretty cool. The flames were super sick.
Starting point is 00:45:46 The flame was cool. It was a giveaway for the hackers, though. It was a giveaway. They were frying, but a level eight. Oh, fuckers were frying, bro. A level eight fucking gold in your life. Bobby four of them bro they're all four cute purple flame I'm like dude they're four hackers in S&D bro The hackers are comedy because you like press them in game chat and they are my they are so oblivious to their screen
Starting point is 00:46:04 They're just like roasting you're like you're so bad yeah they talk shit and they know they know they know they know they got to be a weird motherfucker bro you gotta be so you got to look at their screen to have red boxes on it To try to like piss somebody else off yeah what if all four of them just actually don't think any of them hacks I probably just think that dude they just don't know bro like that you've been driving out your dog you get canceled twice and And then I heard the hacks are five bucks. That means everybody's hacking. Five? Five bucks?
Starting point is 00:46:29 Five bucks. I think it's like five bucks a day to hack. Five bucks? Yeah, I didn't appreciate it's five bucks a day. A day? I'm pretty sure. You're paying to be a weirdo. It does add up, but it's like that one day you're an attorney.
Starting point is 00:46:39 You're paying that five. Yeah, but then they go cash out one fucking CMG. They just win one tourney and they're back for the full month. I'm back. Got 100 bucks. 20 days of hacking. Dude, in Vanguard, it was really bad. I mean, it's been bad in every cod.
Starting point is 00:46:57 I don't know. In Vanguard it was, but I feel like it was way more noticeable at W2. I feel like it's gotten worse. Like Cold War, I didn't even notice it as much. Vanguard didn't, I rarely noticed it also. I think MW2 was like, I don't know why. They just... There's no skill gap.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Like Cold War, at least there was a skill gap. That's true. Yeah. Like, dude, last year, you were dying three bullets. So if someone's hacking, you're just fucked. Yeah. Yeah. They're just pre-a-eming attack.
Starting point is 00:47:19 But it's the hackers in rank, because I swear you could beat the Wallers because they were terrible. But they would just, combo with just aimbodding and it was like round like some people i i'd rather like the hacker just like unleashed just like aimbop me out the lobby just going yeah yeah yeah why are you trying to hide it like at least make me fucking laughing you're like i want you to just snap on the whole lobby kill everybody and like get me out like trust me though there's been a couple of those oh i've had those and those are way more p1 the guy's just middle bro i'm cut any he's doing east west north
Starting point is 00:47:51 south bro boom headshot headshot i'm like god damn Oh, bro. Spin botting. And the worst part is they play for the wind. They actually have three minutes by the end of the map. They have three minutes in the hill. Like, dude, they're shameless. They're actually trying to climb.
Starting point is 00:48:03 They're trying to climb. They're not even playing for the... They're legit using it to climb, bro. It's just... You're banging the hill, bro. And soaking it. I guess I don't know. I scroll on TikTok and I just see people just hacking on stream.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Yeah, right? Yeah. Dude, I just purposely hacking home stream. Yeah. There's like a huge big circle of the... Miller's screen. Dude, in trying to find like creators
Starting point is 00:48:27 that play cod like dedicate to play cod, I try to find these creators to put them in these creator tournaments. Dude, there's a whole section of people out there that still drop three nukes a game
Starting point is 00:48:37 on, on like, on pups. And dog, they have, they probably spend three hours reverse boosting and then play one,
Starting point is 00:48:47 play one game. They're like, this is the game. I'm telling you, I'm watching it like mind blown that people are like and then I check the comments they're all like,
Starting point is 00:48:53 dude, this guy's nasty. I'm like, who is he's shooting against? Literally playing AI, like actual.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I wonder if they're either, they figure something out. It's either a VPN or they spend a lot of time reverse boosting or I, dude, I even saw this one dude. I'm almost positive he hacks. Almost positive. I was just like,
Starting point is 00:49:11 there's no way. I remember there was one dude that we actually, I'm not going to expose him because like, I don't think he actually ended up or did hack, but I remember there was this one dude, there's big shir that was suss and that we just talked about it. Like, is this motherfucker a hacking, bro? I know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:49:27 You know, absolutely. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, wait. And it was on to him too. Yeah, we were like, yo, I remember us, like in a T.S. I'm pretty sure we were the ones talking shit. We're looking at the T.S. I'm pretty sure we were the ones that were like, yo.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Yo, wait, wait. How do you just know? They both have daddy pot. We're like, wait a second. Go to a stream, bro. Go to the stream. Was that, were those war zones days? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Those are the ones. You know exactly. Yeah. I think, I think he's clean, though. I hope he's clean. We'll never know. You'll never know. That's the issue.
Starting point is 00:49:58 We'll never know. Because there's definitely some people that hacked and they either don't hack anymore or they very rarely do it. Because like there are some people that all they like they're people are on their case. Yeah. So you go if if you're hacking and nine people, you know, tweet about it, you're like, all right, I can't hack today. You know what I mean? You have to turn them off. You have to turn them off.
Starting point is 00:50:21 And then I hope you have a good day on the toy. Yeah. You better hope you're frying. Yeah, you better not. Legit. Saving that 5 and then using the next day. You know that meme. Save 5.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Save 5. Save 5. That's so good. Have any of you guys played the finals? I played the shit out of the finals. Really? I've been watching it. It looks fun.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Yeah, I've been playing. I probably played like a couple days, six, seven hours of it. Maybe not. Did you shoot it? Yeah. I was like, damn, you're crying it off stream? No, no. Yeah, I played a.
Starting point is 00:50:53 I played probably like three solid days of it, and it's a lot of fun. Really? I don't know what the fuck was going on. Oh, it's crazy. Zin, he's running through a fucking wall. Like, I'm like, what's going on? Yeah, is the heavy character? Yeah, he just bust through the wall.
Starting point is 00:51:05 But yeah, it was fun. He said bust through the wall. What? Davis is the heavy character. Yeah, that's what got me. Zinn's running the heavy character. But then, like, when you started getting to the higher ranks, I mean, not even higher ranks, but when you played people that were like,
Starting point is 00:51:23 competent, it was, it was pretty annoying. There was like goo all over the place. They threw goo walls. There was, like abilities. Yeah, yeah. There's like, there's gas mines. So they'd throw like gas mines on the objective and you're just ticking for 25 like and you don't have that much health. Like, what's the objective?
Starting point is 00:51:39 You just try to get to the final three. I can't even explain. I mean, I can't explain it. But it's just so like different. It's so you go to a thing. There's, there's objectives on the map. You got to open them. And then you have to carry a little cube to a cash out like an ATM. You got to put it in the ATM and then you got to defend it like King of the Hill.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Oh yeah. So it's like almost like planning a bomb and then you have to like... It's like King of the Hill. You got to get the thing, take it there, put it in the thing, and then you got to hold the position and then a team will come in and try to steal it and you get like 10,000 or 15,000 based on how much money's in the box. Yeah. And then it's whoever gets like top two will qualify.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Okay. It's like yeah. And that's pretty much it. And it's just that over and over again. Or it's like, yeah. I was going to say maybe it's like sabotage, but like just teams of three. and then whoever gets the bomb. Yeah, it's 14 to 3.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Okay, that makes sense. So there's like, there's two points always going at a time. So, like, you can pick and choose which one to go to, but sometimes there'll be three teams at one and the other team will just get a freebie. And it's like, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:36 I don't even know how to explain. It's crazy. It's very unique compared to everything else that's like out. I'm not going to lie. It looks insane, bro. It looks like, I said on stream, it kind of looks like, like, overwatchish.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Is it like a map pretty big, though? No, they're not that big. Oh, yeah. They're like, I mean, They probably take like a minute to get across. So they're like definitely bigger than cod maps. Okay. But.
Starting point is 00:52:57 I mean it more like if like you're at one point, is it impossible to get to the other point? There are times when like the time you just won't make it. Okay. So yeah, there are times. But yeah, it's. I just like. Yeah, like they're healing each other right now. I just like Overwatch right here.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yeah. See like I don't, games like this just never like, I never think like, yo. What the? Yeah, you can pick up your teammate and revive in a different one. It's cracked. Imagine playing this game baked, bro. You could. There's no way you could.
Starting point is 00:53:27 He's like a little monopoly piece. You have to do a line before you play. Like, what? Yeah, no, it's crazy. It's a lot of fun, though. Like, if you're playing with a team of three and you're actually sweating, it's kind of fun. How many people are in a lot of?
Starting point is 00:53:38 Then again, like I said, I've had nothing to play, so. Anything's fun. Anything's fun. That's new. Like I said, I've been on Rocka League. Rockal League's crazy. Rocking League is so fun. Fortnite or two.
Starting point is 00:53:50 If you see me on. on that you gotta ask like assets everything okay if on Rockley or Fortinite it's something on me bro check up on me yeah shit I'm probably gonna play fortnight today like I mean the no bill does sound fun but then they I kind of ruined it with they yeah yeah you know you just think you got a sick ass three piece then you look at the kill feet like oh shit never I think he's got wait have you ever played Rocket League yeah I played a little bit off stream I probably played like eight hours total I will say it's fun to watch dude I'm like
Starting point is 00:54:21 Dude, I'm not gonna lie, I was playing, because I was basically unboasted at this point. I was playing with my RRL, which is like the rank right below, like, SSL, which is like the best shit. It's where, like, all the pros are at. Waits that champ isn't the highest? No, there's champ and Grand Champ. There's Champ and Grand Champ, then Supersonic Legends. Yeah. They got Super Sonic Legend, though.
Starting point is 00:54:41 They went OD on it, right? Wait, what? Super Sonic Leather is insane. That's their top 250. Some hot wheel shit. I'm not going to lie. It's some hot wheel shit. I mean, the player base, like the average age is like 14.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Like, you know what I'm saying? They get so much dope supersonic legend. You go from Champ to Super Sonic Legend. That what they? Nah, bro. I kind of fuck with it. No, on some trolley level, it's kind of cool, though. But like, it's just hilarious.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Because you said SSL and the last thing I'm thinking is Super Sonic. Yeah, you're probably thinking it's like, yeah, that's why I probably did say it because like I just didn't. Because you can't say. That's what I'm saying. You have to say SSL. Yeah, I don't want to say, yeah, you don't got to know what it is about what it is about. I didn't know. I thought champ was like the highest.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah, but I was, you know, there's there are booze to me basically. Bro, I am not even close to like a champ grand champ or like I'm probably like a low diamond, which is like the one before champ. Oh yeah. And then bro, I'm in those lobbies and the way it works is just because I'm there. It doesn't matter. Like they just take it there. Whoever's the highest, you're playing those lobbies. I'm playing Grand Champ three.
Starting point is 00:55:44 I'm spectating, bro. These guys, bro, I'm just driving. Bro, I'm just driving. You know, you know on GTA? you just drive around it. Like, bro, you see everyone else playing basically? Bro, that was it. This guy is doing some car flip shit, like flying over me. I'm finishing a reset, touching all four. And then, bro, I'm hitting like the normal bomb.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Like, yo, good shit. I'm like, damn, they think I'm fucking out. Yeah, for sure. And then you just chip one in every once in a while. I got a couple greasy goals. I'm like, shit on. Let's go. But I would finish games with like, we lost eight in a row.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Eight in a row? Eight in a row. I mean, at that point, you got to get off. I'm like, what to say it. That's how it was an eight. I was so committed to getting one though Because we'd lose games like 2-3 And I'm like damn
Starting point is 00:56:25 Lopee like apex is one of those games Where the vibes can just change Oh dude Me I was playing with Tush mainly And there were days where we were vibe And having a great time And then the days where we weren't having fun We're not talking to each other
Starting point is 00:56:35 I'm not saying a word We're sitting there You're just dying off the break You're just so chill-toe I know he costed this fight Now we gotta wait five minutes I'm like I can't talk to this guy right now And then I cost the next one
Starting point is 00:56:44 And I know they're pissed at me Like you go to Tush's stream And he's just watching golf video Just fuming. After dying, just And I was like, dude, y'all can just find a third, bro. Hey, bro. You can have good days or you just win a game and then it's the spirals.
Starting point is 00:57:00 They're just lost, lost, loss, loss. That's the loser. If you don't get good loot, it's for sure so checked. You're like a purple shield. He has an R9 off rip with a blue mag and you're like, dude. And then you die and everyone thinks you cost it. It's like, dude, I have a fucking, I have a. A long buck.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I got a pump shot. gun with white shield. That's one game for sure. You just get like lewd. It's kind of like another BR, right? Like I guess like Fortnite back in date. Yeah, you get like full shield with like a purple or gold scar. Is that what it was?
Starting point is 00:57:31 Off rip. You just open a chest. Like, damn, that was Godlike. Cool. Yeah. Same with Fortnite. You just need to do with his face. I'll get shit on by a kid with 250 health because they have the 50 health as well and no
Starting point is 00:57:40 build. So they can have 250 health. I got 150 and it's like, dude. You'll just die and so you have no chance. That's why I don't. That's why like B.Rs don't like excite me for that like reason. I don't like the just randomness
Starting point is 00:57:51 like to drop it somewhere and he just got something better than me He has more health than me? That's true What? It is like fun though When you're I guess like
Starting point is 00:57:59 I don't know And even like when I'm just like I didn't mind in H1 though I'm not gonna lie An H1 like landing H1 was fun H1 was fun I don't know
Starting point is 00:58:06 I don't know In H1 you can even like Revive you just Don't you dead It's more wrong Yeah I find For some reason I love that like
Starting point is 00:58:12 I just love that game Dude the sound The sound that it made When you pop someone's helmet It was like Or their body armor Oh it was Dude's have, bink.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Yeah. And then it was dead. Yeah. That game was so fun. I actually played it like recently, like probably like a few, like maybe like a month or two ago. Was it fun? Yeah, it was very fun. We had a, it's like back to like old season three, Fortnite.
Starting point is 00:58:32 I mean, I'm not four, uh, H1. And like, it's pretty fun. There's, there's people are playing it. They play like the combat training. So it was like respawn. And it's pretty fun. You just get to shoot. We had like a, uh, we do like a community night for TST and we just played H1 one night.
Starting point is 00:58:48 And so. We like the server base went from like, I don't know, like nine people online to like 200 people online. And she was so fun. There were two full lobbies going at the one time. She was so fun to watch. H1 is one of the car. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Well, where are we at, Matt? That's great. All right. So we were going to talk about Mark Zuckerberg tearing his ACL, but we'll do that next time. I feel like that.
