@zomaskingdom appreciate your feedback. I haven't kept up to date with much of mercs since before the plandemic. I should have specified in duos sheeva and wesker were meta for the longest, as sheeva would save combos while wesker would run. Having played again more she is useless for high score solo, 100%. RE6 did devolve to counters only for sure, I was simply saying that the mode had versatility to be the best Mercenaries but failed due to the one dimensional meta. The same is basically stated for 4R. I love the responsiveness and utility characters have, but that also means enemies have more unpredictable and frustrating actions as well, which I allude to by saying the game mode cheats. Again, it had the potential to be the best Mercenaries but was handicapped by one dimensional metas. Which all lead to me making the video in general. That being said, what I outline is a way to minimize the potential for a meta at all. Yeah it may be impossible, but if all characters have one sweep move and one individual attack, who all get the same time bonus, that's 75% of the problem solved. Weapons of course can skew that percentage, but the core scoring components are there for everyone so whether you play for fun or competitive, you should be able to play as anyone and be successful. And if that does lead to repetitive boring gameplay, that's why we have the incentive of new outfits with different loadouts, and customizable loadouts after spending enough time playing. This game is forcing to become better and efficient, so play everyone and get a baseline knowledge, and then you are rewarded to play in any capacity you choose to sustain your own engagement, ya know?

Hey man. I'm typing this up as I watch. I'm in each Mercs community, and keep up with their metas. 2:53 Tribal Sheva is actually considered the worst character in OG RE5 Mercs. She's bottom two in United. She doesn't have a primary weapon to gets melees with, meaning she is completely ineffective to getting scores in the long run. I recommend watching Dadadamoon for optimal Wesker play, or NoTxPrince if you want to see effective HM Chris gameplay for Reunion/United. Both are the best characters for their versions. 3:23 This isn't accurate either. Just like RE5 Reunion/United, this game cut down on how much time gave you compared to 3D and RE5. The meta is literally counter everything, or in the case of No Mercy, you grenade glitch everything for massive time gain. No player in any meta I know of considers this good game design. Even actual RE6 players. There is never a situation you don't want to counter, leading it to being far more one dimensional than you give it credit for. 6:14 That is a very contentious statement to say the least. All of the top RE4R Mercs players Apexu, JBthePro1, and nade all hate various aspects of it despite sinking hundreds or thousands of hours into it. The main issues being how the meta is parry everything, then just headshot all enemies. Or the unfair phantom range and lack of i-frames leading to being easily stunlocked. Other players, like R0Death or NoTxPrince, will tell you it's completely inferior to other games. OG RE4 veteran, Sarcosuchas, also hates this mode. He's gone on record saying he is glad he hasn't sunk a ton of time into learning it because of how awful it is. I have to agree with him. 9:00 I don't agree with removing a meta. No matter what you are going to have one because naturally people will figure out how to do so. And by doing so you screw over a separate part of the player base. And to make such a meta, you will have to normalize gameplay to such a degree that will likely lead to repetitive gameplay, thus killing the game off and defeating the point of the video. 9:40 Suggesting Capcom normalize melees has already been done in RE6. Even then characters would still be separated in terms of efficiency by virtue of having fast and/or wider melees for multi kills, which has always been a staple of Mercs games where melees give time. 10:25 Suggesting we keep a wide AoE melee for multi kills would inherently create a divide no matter what. Characters with wider multi kills would inherently lead to a meta using that character. That defeats the point of removing a meta. 11:00 Strongly agree with this statement here even in a hypothetical situation. CDGs and counters never should have been +7 and +10. They should have been other options for the characters that gave +5 rather than being the meta. 16:50 Yeah. Those should remain unchanged. I do make RE5 mods myself. I don't like how the crystals were changed in Reunion. 30:45 Been playing 3D since launch day back in 2011. The different loadouts definitely help change things up and make different strats for characters viable.

Good job, man. I appreciate the discourse. Knives Only in RE has never really appealed to me, but I get others liking the challenge. But, I'm in my early 40's and feel like I'm just an Old Man yelling at the Clouds and I like shooting everyone.

If you felt like you needed a knife in Chicago, imagine London.

Nice video bro

Apologies for some of RE3's clips having the weird double screen. Also, I know that RE1 remake introduced defensive items, what I meant was having a main weapon being breakable, not a specially designed knife only for defense

victor_creed86 here!! Subscribed!!

He obviously can't. The only reason he loses is to Krauser during the knife fight sequence (or even during mutated Krauser's phase if he somehow kills Salazar). Leon won because of plot armor, and his cop version definitely won't exceed his future mentor.

Gameplay starts at the 7:45 mark. The double audio that starts at El Gigante only lasts till a little after the fight, feel free to skip to grabbing Ashley at the church. The audio desync after krausers first fight resyncs after ascending to the clock tower. It desyncs again when I run back down to save but resolves itself after the save heading to the lift. I apologize, for some reason that section really slowed down my computer and the audio just didnt seem to ever line up where it needed to. Sorry the last chapter was completely desynced, I would take this down and re-upload with the fixes but I simply do not have the time. My next video will have much better editing. Appreciate if you even got that far to notice

Womp womp you’re game crashed get over it

mfers on their team getting ready for round two like 😭😭

You've got the strat down, work on your aim and youll be doin great

Ignore the haters. Soak in your glory. Well played.

Probably when they acknowledged the map was bugged. Curse them, how cam they live with themselves l

Imagine xeno happy

ur enemys play like bots

Y'all just miss the fact that one of my tunnels is blocked and it's causing the game to sputter, huh

Xenomorph gets angry at rubber banding and prepares a tail attack for the devs

Skill issue

terrible

shitty internet

how what bruh 💀 they planted and you just layed ina corner

Just bad internet (packet loss)

Lol

riot shield, drones and a shotty on shipment you're one of the main reasons I quit mp, just endless running through so many rats in their ratholes, I spit on you with disgust

Breacher drone hit someone with spawn protection from explosives which lasts about 1.5 seconds after spawn. Your ping is higher than 50 and/or so is the dude who your bullets went through. Causing your bullets to “go through him”

In case you missed it, my bullets went through the guy who stopped my jugg, and then my breacher drone blew up on someone and did zero damage

so we do know how A.I. gets its answers, through rigourous machine learning and training. Thats all it is. And the machine learning is programmed, so in theory all of it is code, very complex code. So in your example of machine learning being used in match making, they are deriving the lobbies through a lot of data and comparison of lobbies. Which is why they are more accurate than any lobbies any one else might try to make.

U gtta stop watching the CoDfather.🤣🤣😭😭

Why would you ever buy call of duty?😂😂😂

That game is trash bro bro, you wasted that cash.

KZbin really be censoring my own comments huh? For the fucking third time now, what the fuck is with Activision's borderline gay love of cocking and charging your gun every life? It's not cool, it's not tactical, it looks like our characters have a chronic masturbation disorder with their gun. It probably gets more action than then the fucking commenters on my last few videos 😂

This gameplay has no evidence of the EOMM at all. It’s just you using a shitlord class of a semi auto shotgun and the 6 round noob tube and complaining after all the enemies equip EOD and just outplay your grenade launcher in general. If you’re gonna upload something like this at least show real evidence.

delusions, check into a mental hospital

love how you're upset you reverse boosted now the game has you in high kd lobbies and you can't compete rofl.

skill issue fs

What threw me off was the GL hit marker on a dude who was wearing flak jacket in HC. Idk if that is the perk working or the lobby saying no to you but, either way that's an unfair advantage in HC regardless. What's the point of playing HC if a GL doesn't kill on direct hits.

Good you’re using a grenade launcher and spamming your breacher drone at every corner 😂

I just don't buy Cod games anymore. It sucks because I used to love COD so much. After MW2019, I bought cold war just for the zombies. Now I don't enjoy zombies anymore. BF took a downturn as well unfortunately...Ghost recon breakpoint has been pretty enjoyable to me in the single player side. I swear these franchises need to stop catering to their investors and go back to serving the gaming communities like its supposed to be. Greed corrupts everything.

nice report for not even watching the killcam you disgusting man ! i get shadow ban and end up playing against spinbotter and aimboter in mw2/2019 cause of PPL like you ! stop report spamming !

This may have been one of the most boring CoD videos I ever watched in a while. Felt like watching one of my team mates after dying in SnD.

just play insurgency or 6 days in fallujah

It's socialism for video games. Once your score gets too high they start redistributing it to the other players.

After MW2 I stopped myself from buying Cod games. They're solid in the beginning, but the constant bloating with cosmetics like skins, bundles, meta attachments, battlepasses, constant nerfs & buffs to the wrong weapons, health pool increases, trash maps and my favorite... *Adding multiple games to one menu / launcher and forcing us to navigate in another games menu just to play older titles*This weird "allinone": take on the MW series is destroying it slowly. Same happened to Mw2019

how you gonna reverse boost then complain about a few small things 😆just be happy u arent playing against sweaty gfuel snorting crackheads

Maybe dont reverse boost and just get better? - Kinda sad you have to try and cheat the system in order to have fun tbh - Slapping noobs because its easier is more fun than sweating every game, but maybe just play to get better. By doing this all you do is remove your ability to grow as a player, you stagnate yourself on purpose for easier games then complain when the game ruins your fun. I'm glad your pub stomping was ruined. This isnt 2012, gitgud

I think the real tragedy is that everyone is convinced they need to play this game like it an E-sports tournament with an international audience watching lol like There's a grand prize. You shouldn't have to be stressed and sweaty in public lobbies. Thats exactly why there should be segregated matchmaking. Have a competitive mode(s) and have your "bot" modes like people love to say. Like not everyone needs to play like it's a stream, like it's a job. Having fun in COD is really the challenge anymore.

Rigged spawns is deffo a thing, always the guy im slamming aswell.
