Mike, your painting skills are insane now! The metal on the figure is top notch! As for the Chu Ko Nope it’s fun, and that’s not a bad thing. As for the game of Hunt I will always come back to it so I hope nothing “replaces” it and co-exists.
17:32 Mike : I'm gonna lose my Hunter to this bullshit 18:08 Bounty Team : Can't believe we lost our Hunters to this bullshit Happy Chu-Ko-New Year, everybody! :D
Saw these matches live, and they were very enjoyable, and they are still enjoyable to watch again. 😉 Strange thing is, I am a casual Hunt player (I'm not really someone who would play any of the other games you mentioned, personally), but honestly, it's weird, and I don't know why, I didn't have most of the problems the other people had. Knock on wood, but until now I've never really had problems with 2.0. Only small bug here and there, so I'm not planning to switch to another game just yet. There is no other game that feels the same for me, until now. 😉 Musical greetings from Belgium, Gunther (singer and lyrics writer of Gabriel Scar)
I feel your statement at the end so much. People are just so eager to not play the game nor helping their mates. I personally had multiple rounds in bounty Hunt lately where people wouldn't even attempt to choke burning teammates but rather make a full flank around my team and still die in the end. Fights are often unneccessarily long, when the outcome would have been the same in 5minutes, if anybody else but us decided to move at some point. Not to mention I regularly have to fight in a sandwich because people will only start aproaching when 2 other teams are already fighting. High MMR is just not fun playstyle-wise....
Hate to admit it, but I stopped choking teammates ever since 2.0 Reason 1 : Instant burning of downed Hunters Reason 2 : Ludicrous burn speed increase Reason 3 : Choke duration vastly decreased I can waste resources and sit still, wait for a chance to revive with the risk of being flanked. I can push or flank in the hopes of winning and then revive, or I take revive bolts with the risk of my teammate being corpse-camped. And as for the approaching when two other teams are already fighting ; would you not jump on the opportunity to surprise a distracted enemy? Would you not seize the moment to have the element of surprise and take a shot at someone without them knowing that you are even there?
@@Kaiser0hmega I get your point. But people rarely achieve anything with this, when I play against them. They are literally just wasting time trying to turn the fight in their favor. I had people abandon their teammates lying right around the corner they just happened to be 5 seconds ago. Just to meet them at boss or extraction either killing them or for them to fuck off again, because they realize the fight is not turning in their favor. People need to learn to cope with dying in this game.
Second game is why I dont play anymore. Im not marchmaking to watch two teams sit in a compound only to get jumped by everyone on the server when I try to do something.
i love the part where hes yapping about a team that just got there and didnt have a chance to push because they heard footsteps behind, that theyre camping but i really love the cut out part where he sat in a tower for 5 minutes with maynard silencer just to shoot a guy that was passing by and then just ran away :D This is just a pure copium of this guy
And here you have people complaining 30 times a day that the game is becoming way too fast paced. At the end of the day it kinda sounds like the problem is the players themselves, not the game.
22:55 my wife and I got back into the game(console) with the Post Malone battle pass after taking a 6+ month break. I reached 6 star fairly quickly, and this is what the game immediately turned into for us. People playing like they'd die irl if their hunter died, it's been infuriating.
Yeah, when i take expensive loadouts, i get killed. As soon as i take the Springfield or the mini-Romero, people die and i win. Dont know how that works.
Always good watch. I feel like they messed with mmr. I'm a solid 4 I've been in nothing but 5 and 6 stars, which raised me to 5. I'm not actively trying to lose it. But it's almost impossible to not be 5 and 6 when it keeps pitting me against them.
28:00 as a Blademancer-Steel Bolt enjoyer, the blademancer perk makes the respective tools and weapons so much better to play, but the free damage from up to 100m away is ridiculous. I hope they workshop the trait once the Battle Pass is through, maybe only make it retreve bolts that aren't stuck in hunters, or only deal damage to hunters if they're within a much shorter range. Either way, Blademancer helps when 10% of bolts and arrows and throwing tools get stuck in the map and are incapable of being retrieved.
That first game he be playing the "Boom Boom Zoom" method.....lol! Maybe that's what we should call using Dual CHU KO NU with explosive bolts and Stamina shot!!
As a former 4/5 star I’m also „trapped“ in 6 stars since the mmr change in summer. Don’t get me wrong I’m fairly experienced after 4 years, but I’m also no skill god. People in those lobbies doesn’t seem to make any „dumb“ plays or mistakes.
What if there were dark sight decoys? Like wind up toys or collapsible manakin that flare up in bounty dark sight or something. To prevent spam or everyone bringing them in, they could be found in raid only, maybe at a specific location only
Watched this live and it was amazing, I'd expect you to include prior games where you were getting non-stop headshotted by bushwookies, that would be way more dramatic
11:40 I feel attacked. I liked the centennial since I started playing (Around when the Tide Trilogy started) and now I feel bad for taking the centennial because Im immediately a "hunter who only plays meta" etc :(
Danke für deine Arbeit und Zeit die du hier für UA-cam investierst 👍. Ich schaue mir alle deine Hunt Showdown Video' s an und bin immer erfreut darüber. 😍🤠😎
Dude when I a 6 star run with my friends who are 4 and 3 stars they always blame their misfortunes on everybody being a 6 star but it's not that. They die to stupid decisions on their part.
Yuuup. My friends and I are all 5-3 star, usually 4. And they'll do the same stupid shit that got them killed a hundred times before, then blame it on matchmaking. Ya it's not great, but sprinting through the wide open when 6 players are already shooting at you is an easy kill for anybody, even one stars.
i used to love hunt and play it all the time. than i became a casual as my friends started playing less and less due to changes to the game. now im leaving too. its just no fun anymore for me. 2.0 and only events all the time killed it for me
@DatsWhatHeSaid Oh so Mike plays on console? Got it. He wiped a team of 3 in under a minute with the thing. In the hands of 1-2 competent players it’s the same as the explosive crossbow in the hands of 3 competent players doing sweaty team wipes. People do it on both console and PC. It isn’t exclusive. Inside compounds this loadout will dominate the majority of other loadouts. It has no real hard counters aside from maybe perfect bow shots through tight spaces or a team of avtomats. What’s controversial about that take?
4 stars is honestly the best and thank god I am not that good at the game, because I've played 5-6 stars and wow it is just campfire central. Anyways, GG Mike, our little green goblin 💚. 2025 awaits!
My guess is Crytek had a choice with 2.0. 1. Continue development on 2.0 with the plan of releasing it as Hunt 2 as a new game with a new price point. Or 2. Release 2.0 as a free upgrade to those that already own the game and work on the issues as a live service. They chose 2 probably because they saw what happened to Overwatch 2 and because they needed to start to see revenue to pay for development and moving the entire team to one project rather then splitting them between supporting1.0 and developing 2.0 was draining whatever reserves they had.
Trap kills are hilarious, I was playing solo the other day and I put down 4 kill traps and got 3 kills with them in a 6 star lobby 😂 solo can be so fun and rewarding when you do good. I did kill a guy shooting too and made it out with a bounty, was a good match
@@don945646because its cheap and it suck balls but gives most rewarding feel when headshotting. Also out of spite to crytek why event guns were not used
It seems like extraction campers are way more prevalent with the suppressed Maynard now in the game. I’m seeing them in like 1/3rd of my games. Luckily these players suck so it’s not to big of an inconvenience
What is your comments about : No crossplay ?? From my part, I play on console and I don’t want to have crossplay because this game is design for pc. Console players are no match VS pc players. But if the players count is to low, Maybe a crossplay would make this game survive a littlebit when only a few 10k survivors will still play this game.
Mike have you ever thought about a new form of content where you que duos/trios with random team mates? I'd be really interested in seeing you try to make it work, the dynamic of how to play is really different from solos or teaming with friends. You wouldn't have to communicate with them, you could be a silent team mate (to simulate how a lot of players experience Hunt). I don't think any big Hunt creators do this, so I'd be really interested.
Wait, there are no more "red shirt with blue bandanna" bounty boys and girls any more? :( There were a handful different hunters all sharing those two pieces of cloth and they were my friends and mine "signature" back than. I guess since they (we) don't play Hunt anymore I didn't noticed...
Hi, and also as no offence, the progress non boosted is kinda mediocre. 100xp per say 20 min as a solo, non pro, 1000 sp per level, 300 per hour,60 hours to level 20? I dont say its long, but it feels long
That is the problem with the Balance of this game, i have to camp in the bushes cause i cant shoot shit in open gun fight. And you have to die 50 times to get lower star games. 😐
story of my life I HAVE TO PUSH FIRST I HAVE TO PEAK FIRST I HAVE TO MOVE FIRST every single 6 5 star is a coward noob holding an angle or camping a bush waiting for the others to do something and even if you shoot him sometimes he do a 180 and run and dont forget people who whait for you to fight and lose bars THEN they come and lucky one shot you and take everything because you need to peek them otherwise you ll get asleep waiting for them to do something
We already has crossplay as people play mnk plus mods via cronus zen. Lead shot lol, shooting 1 meter from people n getting hitmarkers, and all that while using mnk as well 😂 And then they say to me skill issue 🤦♂️
Man nobody burns me with fire bombs, they throw fusees at my ass XD Actually for me this event is the first time the game has run as good as it used to before the relaunch, I've back to enjoying it a lot because I feel like I have good fights all the time again. 2.0 was definitely a disaster the end but for me it has recovered and the game runs great again. I do hope Hunger while not *direct* direct competition is close enough for Crytek to realize they need to get it in gear when fixing this stuff. Having more than one option at all times is good.
YEAH, NO CROSSPLAY. I play on PS5 and im already PISSED off about them adding Hunt to Xbox Game pass. Ive had to deal with all the new Xbox MORONS ruining my games lately. To add to that, there are a LOT, and i mean A LOT of Xbox players who are CHEATING by using the damn Cronus that auto aims for the head AND allows them to use keyboard and mouse on the console version of the game. Crytek needs to be BANNING people who are using keyboard and mouse on console or using the Cronus.
11:39 "Where are you Centi enjoyers?"
*Proceeds to die to centennial*
your state of the game comments are spot on. I'm experiencing terrible fps drops and stuttering since the event started. It's hard to want to suffer through it
loved it Mike and thanks for going through the pain of finding out what works with the chu ko nu
Mike, your painting skills are insane now! The metal on the figure is top notch! As for the Chu Ko Nope it’s fun, and that’s not a bad thing. As for the game of Hunt I will always come back to it so I hope nothing “replaces” it and co-exists.

Fights are often unneccessarily long, when the outcome would have been the same in 5minutes, if anybody else but us decided to move at some point.
Not to mention I regularly have to fight in a sandwich because people will only start aproaching when 2 other teams are already fighting.
High MMR is just not fun playstyle-wise....
Hate to admit it, but I stopped choking teammates ever since 2.0
Reason 1 : Instant burning of downed Hunters
Reason 2 : Ludicrous burn speed increase
Reason 3 : Choke duration vastly decreased
I can waste resources and sit still, wait for a chance to revive with the risk of being flanked. I can push or flank in the hopes of winning and then revive, or I take revive bolts with the risk of my teammate being corpse-camped.

I think they need to buff anti camp gadgets, games like that are insanely boring, i just tap out when i ran into those situations.

kinda miss this game but at the same time relieved, i had way too many desync issues to play this to its full potential
When you feel like it, give a springfield varient with explosive ammo a try with the new fast fingers trait.
you should try xbow with xplosive chu ko with quartermaster and see if its meme or good
you can dauntless the chu-ku bolt?
