TWISTED METAL ONLINE - 2v2 | Darkside | Ghost Town Gulch - Jan. 01, 2023

(High Volume Warning: Sudden Sounds)
Darkside is the mainstay "tank" style choice of Twisted Metal Online, and also one of my favorites to play.
The classic Online Darkside had damage reduction while in special boost and can even boost backwards. They removed those aspects in the PS3 title unfortunately to add an unfitting turret on the top and mines in the back.
Darkside is a strong melee threat that can protect teammates very well with its large size, and draw attention away from the smaller vehicles by staying on the front line for prolonged periods of time.
It massively benefits from the "Mercy Bonus" that is left behind upon enemy (or teammate) death which heals 20% of its max HP instantly.
It can however be overwhelmed easy by ranged fire and keepaway tactics, so it Is not always the easiest to handle in duel or ambush situations. This match showcases what a monster it can be when played to its strengths.

Twisted Metal should be a god damn E sports tournament itself. Its such an amazing modern throwback to ps2 days and its gamplay is competitive but fun.

[@ArchXaether]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's got elements for both casual and competitive play genuinely speaking.

Y pensar que este juego tendria a crazy8, twister, yellow jacket de dlc. Espero la ruina que haran con peecock no desanime a sony de hacer un twisted metal.

[@ArchXaether]

DLC would have been fun.

[@since2133]

Apparently Grasshopper and Thumper were to also be added as DLC but weren’t worked on yet.

[@ArchXaether]

@since2133 I've never heard that before so I doubt it. The wiki says pit viper but the wiki is not the most reliable. It was YJ, Twister, C8, and Slam.
