My prediction is ..1.we’re going to see less quality for the product and worse balancing, 2. More collabs with actors and artist that go against the themes of hunt., 3. More toxic members of the community denying the game is no longer good when infact it’s in the worst state imaginable

The removal of the low visibility weathers is NOT a good thing. They've removed content that actually changed gameplay up, it's not something to be celebrated.
I preferred low visibility weathers, I don't enjoy getting headshotted as soon as I step foot anywhere near the boss compound. It's also a bit easier to escape a sandwich if there's low vis.
They are not permanently removed, they will be added back. New engine update takes time to update everything. It’s a Live service lite at the end of the day.
@@edindjc8735 They removed Ash Bloom and Thundershower after the new engine update. They still haven't said anything about it coming back or when will it happen. My fear is that it'll turn into an Inferno situation where they keep saying they'll reintroduce it permanently but never do.
Event fatigue is real (9,5 out of 12 months per year is Event now) and if they don't fix their base game then nobody will play their future Event Versions of it for sure. Analogy: You most likely watch or play football/soccer because you like the base game and not because there is a soocer world cup very two months and the lawn is painted in different colors every day. Hunt looses its identity somehow if Vanilla Hunt is not played anymore.
Bro it’s new content, the player base balloons after every new event drops. The murder circus is by the far the best event yet imo, at least since the fire event.
Hunt just doesnt feel the same to me anymore. I dont have as much fun as I was in 2019-2023. I could play for hours in one sitting back then but I just dont have that much fun anymore.
honestly i found the great update this year wasnt too bad itself. new map. new boss. new gun´s. but playing shity mountains without weather change for an eternity burned me out tbh. and circus event is literally a circus....
I am proud and excited to be able to STOP playing my favorite game when I get to the level before last of the battle pass.. I wish I could return the first post malone.. but at least I can avoid having two malones on my account. ((ANNNDD bonus points for not having to grind out for the charm!!!!) )
My friend recently asked me when I liked hunt the most while we were complaining about the current state of the game. I told him about a year and a half ago was peak hunt for me. Checked the steam charts and that was the time period hunt was at it's highest. I miss old hunt.
sooon 8k hours in this game. Hunt is the only game im true dedicated to. but it have been going in the wrong direction for a long time now. its so sad to see this beautiful unique game go this way
i still love hunt even with all its faults, i do think there is a lack of hope for the future of the game and i hope crytek will see this in the upcoming year and bring us to a version of the game that most hunt players enjoy, cheer huuge and happy new year!
They don’t need to bring us a version of hunt! They need to let hunt like it was (Vanilla) and improve server, trades and other dumb things that ruin the gaming experience… all the new weapons traits mechanics makes people hate this game… well at least people like me who playing it since begin of 2021….
As a mechanic I see they treat games like cars don't really improve their mistakes just buy a new one. I love hunt and bounty clash right now is ridiculously fun
@ traits, weapons and stupid mechanics all added since the big update at all. Remove all of them especially the ones sich comes now with the Post F Melone Event. On top of that the fights don’t feel like in the old days it’s like I’m playing a copy washed hunt version compare to vanilla hunt. I want the old UI as well. The only changes that I „can accept“ is the new map & the engine upgrade which i didn’t wish much because hunt never looked „old“ in my view. It’s like a nice feature…

Devs need to let every shot count more again.
I miss hunt, stopped playing 2 months into 2024 and honestly it was the perfect time to stop I think. my memories are only tainted with trades and not everything else this year did to hunt. Still like watching your vids though, you were and are my only source of hunt news and content. happy new year!
Crytek telling us to "just buy a new computer like a normal person" really bothered me. My PC runs Space Marine 2 just fine. But i can't play Hunt because...i'm still not sure.
@@pninnan Basically the same as you. My processor is exactly one year out of date or something like that. I have the very last version to not support AVX2. I've upgraded literally every other part of my PC. When I looked into my processor for an upgrade ...i may as well just get a new PC.
I've been playing a couple of years. 2k hours in this game and this is the worst state I've seen the game in so far. I'm on console and didn't notice any server issues until this event, trades are happening every game, silencers are everywhere, people don't push (ever), MMR is broken, blademancer is cracked, and I could go on. Honestly have little desire to play at this point.
Issues is there trying to please everyone rather then just support there core base. Don’t see CS Go changing shit all the time and there game still flapping almost 17 years.
@ I know and they don't add in new weapons every time they do an event. Its one of the most played games. Never really changed anything. If you don't like playing CS the CS team don't care or change anything. Hunt needs to go back to its roots and stop trying to be loads of different shit in my opinion.
2024 has been the year my friend group basically quit playing hunt regulary. now its once every few weeks we go in, get annoyed and leave for other games
I think Bounty Clash is the smartest thing Crytek has ever done with the game. I hope they move further in that direction. Maybe some sort of round based mode without objective, everyone has the same loadout and they can balance the payout so there's a reason to play Bounty Hunt still.
My only issue with bounty clash is that it split an already smallish and dwindling playerbase. Combine that with them widening the MM pool to fill lobbies and some games feel REALLY unbalanced.
Hunt went the same path as pubg, constant new content because new is good regardless of quality turning the game into a meaningless meme of random deaths regardless of skill. I prefer to remember the game as the atmospheric every shot counts shooter it started as that made it unique. Sure the cod kids like Hunt now but they also like 10 other games like it that they move onto when the memeing gets old....And here we are.
Honestly great vid Huuge. I remember when the "Ghostface" crossover happened and we were all wondering what the next crossover would be. The fact that we got Post Malone is pretty funny and "we definitely didn't see that coming" LMFAO XD
Man, I'm right there with you on not knowing what to predict. I feel like there used to be a little discussion on game direction back in the day and now I think they are just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks and who cares if it doesn't? There's definitely big pull from the top to make changes. That was clearly seen with the UI update. I have no clue of where we are going next.
It's unfortunate that people can't enjoy an awesome game and are always so critical of everything. To me, after the engine upgrade and the new map this is the best Hunt has been, not the worst.
Really though! I took a break from it maybe a year ago, now I'm back and I think it's better than ever! I play a mix of Bounty Hunt and Clash, both are fun. Clash is great for the times I just wanna jump in and play a quick game with some gunplay, try a different load out, etc. I'm a horrible twitch shooter in games like CoD, but Hunts emphasis on communication and careful shot selection, I'm consistently at about a 1.25 K/D in the five stars. Not getting blown out of the water, but not dominating either. I love it.
also constant adition of rat weapons that promote boring gameplay making the game insufferable. the higher the MMR the worse the problem gets. also spam weapons.
Hunt has sadly began going in downward spiral from unique PvPvE extraction shooter to mainstream Warzone like gameplay. Monetization is now clawing your eyes every time you end up in main menu and recent content added some items that are absolutely not consistent with 1896 era. We're still getting new dlc-s every day but bugs,trades and server issues are constant. Hope Crytek will come around soon because Hunt was one of the kind experience in gaming market and would hate to see it go to waste. Also, best of luck in 2025. everybody! Wish you guys all the best!
So glad you're still here exposing the truth about how much of a shitshow this game is, instead of just highlighting new content like most of the other Hunt creators.
The game literally became a rat heaven now, they wanted to end stalemates in fights and make it quicker but ended up creating a game that is just a big stalemate... They nerfed silencers like vetterli not a long time ago so they could add 500m/s krag and maynard SNIPER??? silencer... Good job on ending stalemates and making the game more fun, now you gave the bush dwellers perfect weapons to never have to come close to the compound... Judging by the current situation I am personally facing while playing in 6* lobbies the game is dying, having balls is not rewarding in any way, and the games take so long to come to a conclusion that it is getting more boring every day. They probably nerfed the uppercut to prepare us for the arrival of a mosin sniper silencer variant, I really hope smth like that happens so I can finally press the "Uninstall" button and end this toxic relationship. I loved this game, it was perfect the way it was, now I feel it is slowly dying because of poor decisions to make a hardcore PVP into something its not. Had to write this somewhere and get the burden off my soul.
I totally agree with you, with the stalemates thing. I usually talk about that too. but with different problems. but they are working towards "reducing stalemates" but instead they are making stalemats more frequent than ever. because of their updates and aditions. been playing this game for soon 8k hours. Im maining this game and not dedicated to any other game really. its so sad to see where the game is going. peace mate.
Me and my friend both bought the game. I'm playing without issues, but he can't play. The game throws him out of lobbies and says he has cheating software installed. But he has never used cheats, and he can play every other online pvp game we play together without issues. Not sure what this is, but i sure hope they fix this.
Engine update stole 30 FPS from me and forced me to start using DLSS which makes everything oscillate between my desired resolution (not even max settings) and the blurriest low fidelity garbage ever. To say I'm displeased with that is an understatement.
Happy new year, man! I kept saying this, but I will say it once more: love finally seeing someone that speaks fact and not just spread the false (toxic you called it, and it's fitting) positivity, accepting every stupid shit a corporation like Crytek says and does.
Only played one day of the current event. Still supporting streamers watching gameplay. Definitely not in a rush to play with my newborn here. But I do hope they iron out these issues
In every competitive game I played in the past, there was always a learning curve. I went to play in the new mode, for God's sake.. They put me with hunters with less than 200 hours, and the most incredible thing.. On the other side there were kda farmers in a closed group. This game is a bad joke. And I still hear people asking for region block. If they close the regions, this game is over.
"they're only adding in low vis weather." For some reason, and Ik I'm not tripping, they've increased the chance of getting a misty map, meanwhile night maps have like a 2% chance of being picked. It's mad annoying, who tf wants to play misty maps that often.
Well in our group almost no one likes night maps... we can't play these maps properly in rl daytime. Misty maps are cool but could be less in the rotation.
I have played less than 10 games of hunt this whole month, it sucks as someone who has about 3500 hours between pc and console. I love this game and I still want to love it, but right now work for me has pocked up tremendously and I have very limited time for games. Right now there's about a dozen other games I'd choose to use my limited time on other than hunt. Hope for the best prepare for the worst. Anyways Happy New Year everyone!
I do actually miss the rain. It's also ridiculous how long it takes for the older maps to come back with how little they changed in it. Hunger releasing could be good, might light a bit of a fire under Cryteks ass, who knows.
i almost hate the engine update. many stuff is still bugged. at one point that when there a update after sometime haven't played the game it download the whole game again. all option are reset and skin and my skin don't wan't to stay save most of the time... still feel polish to play
Jumped on the game during free week end at the Launch of 1896 and i sincerly dont understand the backlash its my favorite mutiolayer experience of all time and ive been a hardcore gamer for 30 + years
Imagine you had a frustrating, low pay job and worked it at least 70 hours a week. Would you choose to quit said job and seek something more fulfilling? Would you choose to bitch, whine, and rant - all while voluntarily doing overtime? One option sounds a lot more appealing. Riding it out to 2026 might not be the best move for your mental health bro. Cheers, and happy new year!
PC/console crossplay would be batshit crazy. I've been playing keyboard + mouse multiplayer shooters since Quake 2 and I still get destroyed on PC Hunt
Only thing I have to complain about since 2017 is the servers and hopefully since the lease is up now, they will purchase some updated servers for better ping and performance with the new engine also, I HOPE! if not this game will stay the way it is, up and down.
As a new player with less than 30h... Team revive should be removed. You are already at a disadvantage by being solo, when teams can revive, they just push with no regards, knowing that their team members will revive them. Leave necro as is, so everyone gets a chance to revive once. Also playing vs 1000h plus players sucks! Tier system is rubbish.
Sooooo, watched the video, I get that Huuge is a big name in the community. I get that his opinion resonates with many other players opinions. It’s a game we payed for, it’s a game we constantly support by grabbing the BP etc, just wanted to get this out of the way before I get into my gripe with Huuge’s attitude these past few months, an attitude he is 100% valid to have, I clearly give him support by watching his videos. Call me whatever you’d like, I’m just stating the obvious. Huuge hates this game, he clearly doesn’t enjoy playing it anymore at least from my point of view, I hop into a couple of his streams, I watch his videos, but every time he has something to say about the game it’s always negative. Things change, the game has to evolve in some shape or form, some won’t like it, and some will, I being one of the ones who is glad with the state of the game right now, it’s fun to play with friends. Obviously Hunt is the main game on his channel, it’s his career and I hope it gets HUUGE! But coming from someone who used to get excited for a new upload, to now dreading that play button do to the truckload of criticism I know will surely be said. Blame the devs, blame crytek, blame the malones of the post, or a more simple option just stop playing the game. Huuge can due what what Huuge wants to do. Just wanted to give my feedback. Just like he does. As I tell everyone with any game ever, if you don’t like it, DONT PLAY IT.
Honestly everyone suffers from the “Dunning Kruger Effect”. Too many people think they speak for the community in its entirety. Too many people think they understand balance when in reality if the game was perfectly balanced it would be boring. Some people want competitive play but don’t understand that not every game should be an esport. Complaints here and there. some valid, most not. In reality you are too invested. I see 3k and 4k hrs played and cringe. It’s too much… you need a break. You think to viscerally towards something you love and it will kill it in the end. I chose not to get into game development for this very reason. It kills the fun in the gaming.
i'm very sad, for me this game is dead...i play 2200 plus hours, 5 years i think...and with all this bullshit they put in the game FOR ME is no longer enjoyable
The amount of skins is what ruined Cod. Disappoimted they spent so much money on Post Malone to sponser them and how little they have spent on good servers. Loved how they added a region ping locker and then they broke it and it doesnt work.
The amount of people saying this game is dead because of changes they don’t like is kinda ridiculous. Not trying to hate on anyone feeling this way but did you really expect the game to not change after being out for 5 years?that fact it still has its roots after being out all this time and still feels like hunt is impressive on its own. Everything has to change a little bit
I still don't understand what's wrong with trades. Im ok with them unless they are super delayed, wich is a rlly rare case for me. The one you showed in this video was totally fine, and you was looking like you're the one who had high ping because the hitmarker appeared while you were falling to the ground.
I'm a player with 1.3k hours and to be honest I don't really like the direction the game is taking....for example the new map seems horrible to me because of the amount of trees and bushes it has in many places + the problem of verticality being this game one in which if you fall 2 meters your legs break in 2 and a derringer can kill you with one shot, then there's also the change to the color palette (I admit that I was a reshade user but it was because outside of this game there is no other game in which it is so difficult for me to see people and I tried everything with my AMD gpu, color saturation and brightness but it doesn't work, maybe it's also a skill problem idk) and the way of changing or "improving" the old maps which is simply adding more bushes and things that let you see less and that favor the gameplay of "I stand still aiming and waiting for the enemy to do something like put his head in my sights"
Im just sick of the mountain map we were playing it for like 2 months and even now that we have 3 maps I get it more than other 2 combined, I just run at the exit when I get it I cant play it anymore
I don't see Hunt dying but basically this is about it. It will continue the event slop while dedicated playerbase will keep it on life support. Aug 15 was their once chance at making it big, and they massively shat on it. The numbers will continue to decline, casuals will be pushed away thanks to all the power leap exploiters (like who TF enjoys playing against a blademancer exploiter?) and all left will be streamers, crytek partners, sweatlord veterans and cheaters.
Over Christmas i had 3 friends on my PlayStation friend list "come back" to the game. They bought it early on and now theyre loving it. I have my ups and downs with hunt but im only playing that and off the grid right now. Its the only 2 games i can actually enjoy right now. The xbox game pass was a good and bad move. While im not sure of this game is on PC game pass. The xbox players have had TONS of MnK plays and headshots. PlayStation players are now at a disadvantage and i know it will drive players away.
Thank you! I’ve been telling ppl forever Xbox players are using MnK. I play on pc and ps5. I don’t die much on ps5, but when I do it’s always suspect and it’s always a Xbox player 😂. It’s so bad my friends turn crossplay off
Doom and gloom always with you. If game was on a solid state you wouldn’t have a reason to make these videos, so excuse me if I take all of this with a grain of salt
Console Hunt is better than ever. Also what’s the gripe on trades? I feel like trades are realistic? You both shoot at the same time, and or before the bullet reaches you, shouldn’t it still count?
The engine update made it so that alot of us with PC's on the edge of smoothly running the game can't play the game anymore...unless we tolerate 30 fps, or use the terrible looking upscaling feature..so yeah, 2024 Hunt sucks for me.
The content is neat but they don't actually work on the game itself. Server issues, engine issues, bugs there's just so many issues they don't care about as they shove new content in your face that's broken
It's pretty bad right now. All the silenced guns have made the game super ratty. You don't hear gunshots across the map anymore. Every round is completely silent. Getting bars back every 15 seconds further buffs spam and shotguns and nerfs the older guns. So people just hide in bushes and in corners with one-shot weapons or high rate of fire spam. FFS they gave the dolch FMJ because they thought the dolch needed a buff.
This is the first event I just couldn't bring myself to play. The Hunt identity has been fading. All the PM garbage and Harley Quinn and Ghost Face just ruins it for me
I just hate the disarray the game is in, and the lack of some constructive correction instead of events and skins. Just finding out that I would rather play incomplete poe2 then hunt
4600 hours in game and i think this is my last event to end it, it was a nice run. Sadly man with white beard ruined it completely.... ...not you Santa.
All the BS getting added to the game but still no custom lobbys (non competetive/do not affect rank&KD, no money or exp gain, just pure fun with friends as if it's a practice mode). I wish there was an official way of going into a map with 10 friends and destroying each other just for fun
3:09 You forgot about the october event. There is no even peak of players :D I would add to the list like 'I would not surprised if Crytek will add some another automat this year'
How do you think Hunt did in 2024? What do you expect for 2025?

@@ExTremZero I don't trust anyone who says "worser"
I've been playing a couple of years. 2k hours in this game and this is the worst state I've seen the game in so far. I'm on console and didn't notice any server issues until this event, trades are happening every game, silencers are everywhere, people don't push (ever), MMR is broken, blademancer is cracked, and I could go on. Honestly have little desire to play at this point.
i just bought the game and installed it after wanting to buy it fo years and now im seeing all these comments and im nervous
Issues is there trying to please everyone rather then just support there core base. Don’t see CS Go changing shit all the time and there game still flapping almost 17 years.
Cs in general is 24 years old and still popular.
@ I know and they don't add in new weapons every time they do an event. Its one of the most played games. Never really changed anything. If you don't like playing CS the CS team don't care or change anything. Hunt needs to go back to its roots and stop trying to be loads of different shit in my opinion.
@@threepoint_star9202 there are lots of people in the core base that don’t mind the changes who like the changes too
@@rayn8056 i would love to see a vote...Huuge can you make this happen?
2024 has been the year my friend group basically quit playing hunt regulary. now its once every few weeks we go in, get annoyed and leave for other games
haven't seen any unreasonable trades since the update and I play shotguns/crossbow regularly.
I think Bounty Clash is the smartest thing Crytek has ever done with the game. I hope they move further in that direction. Maybe some sort of round based mode without objective, everyone has the same loadout and they can balance the payout so there's a reason to play Bounty Hunt still.
My only issue with bounty clash is that it split an already smallish and dwindling playerbase. Combine that with them widening the MM pool to fill lobbies and some games feel REALLY unbalanced.
Hunt went the same path as pubg, constant new content because new is good regardless of quality turning the game into a meaningless meme of random deaths regardless of skill.
I prefer to remember the game as the atmospheric every shot counts shooter it started as that made it unique.
Sure the cod kids like Hunt now but they also like 10 other games like it that they move onto when the memeing gets old....And here we are.
Honestly great vid Huuge. I remember when the "Ghostface" crossover happened and we were all wondering what the next crossover would be. The fact that we got Post Malone is pretty funny and "we definitely didn't see that coming" LMFAO XD
I'd be willing to bet trades happen at least 50% less often. I'd love to if they could pull stats on that.
Man, I'm right there with you on not knowing what to predict. I feel like there used to be a little discussion on game direction back in the day and now I think they are just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks and who cares if it doesn't? There's definitely big pull from the top to make changes. That was clearly seen with the UI update. I have no clue of where we are going next.
It's unfortunate that people can't enjoy an awesome game and are always so critical of everything. To me, after the engine upgrade and the new map this is the best Hunt has been, not the worst.
Really though! I took a break from it maybe a year ago, now I'm back and I think it's better than ever! I play a mix of Bounty Hunt and Clash, both are fun. Clash is great for the times I just wanna jump in and play a quick game with some gunplay, try a different load out, etc. I'm a horrible twitch shooter in games like CoD, but Hunts emphasis on communication and careful shot selection, I'm consistently at about a 1.25 K/D in the five stars. Not getting blown out of the water, but not dominating either. I love it.
Delusional 😭
also constant adition of rat weapons that promote boring gameplay making the game insufferable. the higher the MMR the worse the problem gets. also spam weapons.
Hunt has sadly began going in downward spiral from unique PvPvE extraction shooter to mainstream Warzone like gameplay. Monetization is now clawing your eyes every time you end up in main menu and recent content added some items that are absolutely not consistent with 1896 era. We're still getting new dlc-s every day but bugs,trades and server issues are constant. Hope Crytek will come around soon because Hunt was one of the kind experience in gaming market and would hate to see it go to waste.
Also, best of luck in 2025. everybody! Wish you guys all the best!
So glad you're still here exposing the truth about how much of a shitshow this game is, instead of just highlighting new content like most of the other Hunt creators.
The game literally became a rat heaven now, they wanted to end stalemates in fights and make it quicker but ended up creating a game that is just a big stalemate...
They nerfed silencers like vetterli not a long time ago so they could add 500m/s krag and maynard SNIPER??? silencer...
Good job on ending stalemates and making the game more fun, now you gave the bush dwellers perfect weapons to never have to come close to the compound...
Judging by the current situation I am personally facing while playing in 6* lobbies the game is dying, having balls is not rewarding in any way, and the games take so long to come to a conclusion that it is getting more boring every day.
They probably nerfed the uppercut to prepare us for the arrival of a mosin sniper silencer variant, I really hope smth like that happens so I can finally press the "Uninstall" button and end this toxic relationship.
I loved this game, it was perfect the way it was, now I feel it is slowly dying because of poor decisions to make a hardcore PVP into something its not.
Had to write this somewhere and get the burden off my soul.
I totally agree with you, with the stalemates thing. I usually talk about that too. but with different problems. but they are working towards "reducing stalemates" but instead they are making stalemats more frequent than ever. because of their updates and aditions. been playing this game for soon 8k hours. Im maining this game and not dedicated to any other game really. its so sad to see where the game is going. peace mate.
Me and my friend both bought the game.
I'm playing without issues, but he can't play.
The game throws him out of lobbies and says he has cheating software installed.
But he has never used cheats, and he can play every other online pvp game we play together without issues.
Not sure what this is, but i sure hope they fix this.
Engine update stole 30 FPS from me and forced me to start using DLSS which makes everything oscillate between my desired resolution (not even max settings) and the blurriest low fidelity garbage ever. To say I'm displeased with that is an understatement.
Happy new year huuge, lets hope hunt gets better in 2025.
Things get better with age right, right?
Happy New Year! We can hope things will improve
Stopped playing a year ago, buy love watching the videos and tuning into the stream to see the state of the game, and your always entertaining!
Happy new year, man! I kept saying this, but I will say it once more: love finally seeing someone that speaks fact and not just spread the false (toxic you called it, and it's fitting) positivity, accepting every stupid shit a corporation like Crytek says and does.
Only played one day of the current event. Still supporting streamers watching gameplay. Definitely not in a rush to play with my newborn here. But I do hope they iron out these issues
In every competitive game I played in the past, there was always a learning curve. I went to play in the new mode, for God's sake.. They put me with hunters with less than 200 hours, and the most incredible thing.. On the other side there were kda farmers in a closed group. This game is a bad joke. And I still hear people asking for region block. If they close the regions, this game is over.
Region hoppers are an annoyance on us servers i hope they remove it. Experiencing desync is lame
@@CR4CKSM0K3R If you don't mind playing with half the players you have today.
Huuge, thanks for your content (and predictions) in 2024. I wish you a very good start in 2025 and see you soon in your stream.
Thank you! Hope all the best for you as well
"they're only adding in low vis weather."
For some reason, and Ik I'm not tripping, they've increased the chance of getting a misty map, meanwhile night maps have like a 2% chance of being picked. It's mad annoying, who tf wants to play misty maps that often.
the entirity of reddit and pve players who want to be iMMeRsED
Well in our group almost no one likes night maps... we can't play these maps properly in rl daytime. Misty maps are cool but could be less in the rotation.
Happy New Year Everyone, Wish Hunt a better game in 2025.
Happy New Year!
I have played less than 10 games of hunt this whole month, it sucks as someone who has about 3500 hours between pc and console. I love this game and I still want to love it, but right now work for me has pocked up tremendously and I have very limited time for games. Right now there's about a dozen other games I'd choose to use my limited time on other than hunt. Hope for the best prepare for the worst. Anyways Happy New Year everyone!
I do actually miss the rain. It's also ridiculous how long it takes for the older maps to come back with how little they changed in it. Hunger releasing could be good, might light a bit of a fire under Cryteks ass, who knows.
I haven't played since the scorched earth event ended, the reason was the event spam and things they added recently
i almost hate the engine update. many stuff is still bugged. at one point that when there a update after sometime haven't played the game it download the whole game again. all option are reset and skin and my skin don't wan't to stay save most of the time... still feel polish to play
Trades became really bad when the new map was released; it's gotten far better since then, whatever they did that made it worse was fixed.
Jumped on the game during free week end at the Launch of 1896 and i sincerly dont understand the backlash its my favorite mutiolayer experience of all time and ive been a hardcore gamer for 30 + years
Because you never saw what it was like with all the crap that’s in the game now. Entirely different experience and the game didn’t run like ass
@ I played the beta staged just never got that commited to the game back than, and i have yet to experience ANY performance issue with Hunt
Imagine you had a frustrating, low pay job and worked it at least 70 hours a week. Would you choose to quit said job and seek something more fulfilling? Would you choose to bitch, whine, and rant - all while voluntarily doing overtime? One option sounds a lot more appealing. Riding it out to 2026 might not be the best move for your mental health bro. Cheers, and happy new year!
PC/console crossplay would be batshit crazy. I've been playing keyboard + mouse multiplayer shooters since Quake 2 and I still get destroyed on PC Hunt
Happy new year @Huuge !
Love your content brother, I need to start joining the stream. You’re insane on this game.
Happy New Year!
Only thing I have to complain about since 2017 is the servers and hopefully since the lease is up now, they will purchase some updated servers for better ping and performance with the new engine also, I HOPE! if not this game will stay the way it is, up and down.
Also latest engine uprgradr fuckd up my in game settings, I have weird fog inside compounds, but I go outside then.
As a new player with less than 30h... Team revive should be removed. You are already at a disadvantage by being solo, when teams can revive, they just push with no regards, knowing that their team members will revive them. Leave necro as is, so everyone gets a chance to revive once. Also playing vs 1000h plus players sucks! Tier system is rubbish.
Sooooo, watched the video, I get that Huuge is a big name in the community. I get that his opinion resonates with many other players opinions. It’s a game we payed for, it’s a game we constantly support by grabbing the BP etc, just wanted to get this out of the way before I get into my gripe with Huuge’s attitude these past few months, an attitude he is 100% valid to have, I clearly give him support by watching his videos. Call me whatever you’d like, I’m just stating the obvious.
Huuge hates this game, he clearly doesn’t enjoy playing it anymore at least from my point of view, I hop into a couple of his streams, I watch his videos, but every time he has something to say about the game it’s always negative. Things change, the game has to evolve in some shape or form, some won’t like it, and some will, I being one of the ones who is glad with the state of the game right now, it’s fun to play with friends. Obviously Hunt is the main game on his channel, it’s his career and I hope it gets HUUGE! But coming from someone who used to get excited for a new upload, to now dreading that play button do to the truckload of criticism I know will surely be said. Blame the devs, blame crytek, blame the malones of the post, or a more simple option just stop playing the game. Huuge can due what what Huuge wants to do. Just wanted to give my feedback. Just like he does. As I tell everyone with any game ever, if you don’t like it, DONT PLAY IT.
Honestly everyone suffers from the “Dunning Kruger Effect”. Too many people think they speak for the community in its entirety. Too many people think they understand balance when in reality if the game was perfectly balanced it would be boring. Some people want competitive play but don’t understand that not every game should be an esport. Complaints here and there. some valid, most not. In reality you are too invested. I see 3k and 4k hrs played and cringe. It’s too much… you need a break. You think to viscerally towards something you love and it will kill it in the end. I chose not to get into game development for this very reason. It kills the fun in the gaming.
You've nailed it on the head. Good comment
i'm very sad, for me this game is dead...i play 2200 plus hours, 5 years i think...and with all this bullshit they put in the game FOR ME is no longer enjoyable
i would say make the res bolt be scarce ammo but my thought after that is we'd go back to seeing dragon breath bolts make a strong return
I’m only stoked about the event being so long because I’m in Brazil for 20days lol
The amount of skins is what ruined Cod. Disappoimted they spent so much money on Post Malone to sponser them and how little they have spent on good servers. Loved how they added a region ping locker and then they broke it and it doesnt work.
The amount of people saying this game is dead because of changes they don’t like is kinda ridiculous. Not trying to hate on anyone feeling this way but did you really expect the game to not change after being out for 5 years?that fact it still has its roots after being out all this time and still feels like hunt is impressive on its own. Everything has to change a little bit
Honestly, you’re right
We just want good gunplay, good server and maybe some new gun that didn’t break the game and promote rat playstyle.
I'm having a blast still since the game dropped. My favorite rn and nothing else like it
I still don't understand what's wrong with trades. Im ok with them unless they are super delayed, wich is a rlly rare case for me. The one you showed in this video was totally fine, and you was looking like you're the one who had high ping because the hitmarker appeared while you were falling to the ground.
Hit reg seems to be bad lately, X marks appear on enemies multiple times in a short period that no way regen shot gonna prevent them from dying.
i think they are gonna fix the economy of the game within like 2-3 years maybe
I'm a player with 1.3k hours and to be honest I don't really like the direction the game is taking....for example the new map seems horrible to me because of the amount of trees and bushes it has in many places + the problem of verticality being this game one in which if you fall 2 meters your legs break in 2 and a derringer can kill you with one shot, then there's also the change to the color palette (I admit that I was a reshade user but it was because outside of this game there is no other game in which it is so difficult for me to see people and I tried everything with my AMD gpu, color saturation and brightness but it doesn't work, maybe it's also a skill problem idk) and the way of changing or "improving" the old maps which is simply adding more bushes and things that let you see less and that favor the gameplay of "I stand still aiming and waiting for the enemy to do something like put his head in my sights"
Im just sick of the mountain map we were playing it for like 2 months and even now that we have 3 maps I get it more than other 2 combined, I just run at the exit when I get it I cant play it anymore
I don't see Hunt dying but basically this is about it. It will continue the event slop while dedicated playerbase will keep it on life support. Aug 15 was their once chance at making it big, and they massively shat on it.
The numbers will continue to decline, casuals will be pushed away thanks to all the power leap exploiters (like who TF enjoys playing against a blademancer exploiter?) and all left will be streamers, crytek partners, sweatlord veterans and cheaters.
Over Christmas i had 3 friends on my PlayStation friend list "come back" to the game. They bought it early on and now theyre loving it. I have my ups and downs with hunt but im only playing that and off the grid right now. Its the only 2 games i can actually enjoy right now.
The xbox game pass was a good and bad move. While im not sure of this game is on PC game pass. The xbox players have had TONS of MnK plays and headshots. PlayStation players are now at a disadvantage and i know it will drive players away.
Thank you! I’ve been telling ppl forever Xbox players are using MnK. I play on pc and ps5. I don’t die much on ps5, but when I do it’s always suspect and it’s always a Xbox player 😂. It’s so bad my friends turn crossplay off
Doom and gloom always with you. If game was on a solid state you wouldn’t have a reason to make these videos, so excuse me if I take all of this with a grain of salt
You make bean soup when you brew coffee, then you only drink the broth. Wasteful
David Fifield will make coffee from your ground up bones and drink it with a soup ladle. He is known for it.
Console Hunt is better than ever. Also what’s the gripe on trades? I feel like trades are realistic? You both shoot at the same time, and or before the bullet reaches you, shouldn’t it still count?
My prediction for 2025 is that they will add Jack Black to the battlepass
100% coffee is soup... it's bean juice!
My prediction: Logan Paul event in 2025
Huuge the next beetle they need to add is a FLASH beetle. The long range flash grenade
No thank you. No more beetles
The engine update made it so that alot of us with PC's on the edge of smoothly running the game can't play the game anymore...unless we tolerate 30 fps, or use the terrible looking upscaling feature..so yeah, 2024 Hunt sucks for me.
The content is neat but they don't actually work on the game itself. Server issues, engine issues, bugs there's just so many issues they don't care about as they shove new content in your face that's broken
Coffee is a brew or myb a broth. It would need thickness to be soup.
It's pretty bad right now. All the silenced guns have made the game super ratty. You don't hear gunshots across the map anymore. Every round is completely silent. Getting bars back every 15 seconds further buffs spam and shotguns and nerfs the older guns. So people just hide in bushes and in corners with one-shot weapons or high rate of fire spam.
FFS they gave the dolch FMJ because they thought the dolch needed a buff.
Hunt Showdown... the Hunt Showdown 1896 killer.... like a looper situation
This is the first event I just couldn't bring myself to play. The Hunt identity has been fading. All the PM garbage and Harley Quinn and Ghost Face just ruins it for me
Hunt is my favorite game at this moment, but it's starting to feel a bit ridiculous lately. I can't tell what it is...blademancer?
Thank you Sir!
Honestly, for me on EU servers trades have decreased significantly.
I just hate the disarray the game is in, and the lack of some constructive correction instead of events and skins.
Just finding out that I would rather play incomplete poe2 then hunt
4600 hours in game and i think this is my last event to end it, it was a nice run. Sadly man with white beard ruined it completely.... ...not you Santa.
I have almost 3k hours in Hunt. And I don't see the game surviving through 2025. Crytek refuses to listen to the community. #deadgame
All the BS getting added to the game but still no custom lobbys (non competetive/do not affect rank&KD, no money or exp gain, just pure fun with friends as if it's a practice mode). I wish there was an official way of going into a map with 10 friends and destroying each other just for fun
Of all the issues with this game.
Trades are what lead me to stop playing. I don't know why they can't fix this properly.
Last year if you had told me I would quit playing hunt and skip this latest event I would of laughed at you...but here we are sadly.
Wait...he said the Hunt developers are working with or on Hunger and Beautiful Light? 😬
No, not what I said
That’s a fire thumbnail
The devs lost their grip…. 😔
Buenos días señor Huuge! Feliz año!!
3:09
You forgot about the october event. There is no even peak of players :D
I would add to the list like 'I would not surprised if Crytek will add some another automat this year'
Avto compact...
