Yeeee... but for those that don't have a 20,000$ PC that wouldn't be fun, especially since it means that it could happen on a deep dives and then you are stuck running at 10fps for most of the stage.
this is what i’d imagine a hive to really look like, unrestricted by things like “game” “design”. a sea of bugs charging to kill the intruders, who are firing indiscriminately into a swarm and missing a total of zero shots, because there are just that many bugs. literal fountains of swarmers.
I would say more like limited to people's PCs. Not everyone has a 2k dollars pc, a lot of people play this game in not so good computers because it is very well optimized. A swarm that big will probably make the game unplayable for a lot of people
@@TOBY-jy7bz There's like 8 mods that cuts down on effects and makes the game easier to run. There's less excuse now. Heck, my laptop would sometimes go into a throwing fit by freezing so hard, I'd be playing the game on a powerpoint presentation for a few seconds. Doesn't do that anymore with the mods on. Why? Because I don't lose FPS by watching shit cause effects, to the 500 flares tossed on the floor, maps aren't cluttered with flora in two biomes. I even have a mod that stops the game from giving those annoying screen shakes or any FPS loss due to fire and ice and electric effects. It's wonderful to actually be able to play the game AND still be able to install some neat mods for funzies.
@@TOBY-jy7bz Actually, they're the worse. Random models moving about barely matters, but effects is what usually kills off even the strongest of laptops. Which is annoying when AAA games value graphics over playability, constantly trying to shove a bukkake of special effects and expecting us to only care about that. And I also would like not to have to downsize my game to HL1 levels of textures to try and play the game, thank you.
I played a point extract on this as scout once. Shooting flares was a waste. Couldn't hit anything but bugs. Killing bugs was a waste, it was better to wait for the engine to overload and despawn a bunch of bugs than to try and kill them. Was tons of fun. Would do again. There was probably 4x the bugs you see in this video. IDK if it's cause we were on 4 players, or how the host had it set. I have a 6750XT playing at 1080p and I wasn't getting above 40 FPS.
Dude, yes. Alien: Fireteam Elite has a card you can play that doubles the amount of basic enemies spawned in. I think DRG could certainly add something like this in the future.
Always wanted a difficulty like this, Haz 5+ numbers with haz 3 HP/DMG/whatnot. sometimes you just wanna shoot a lot of bugs that aren’t juiced up on liquid morkite.
Would've liked to see you try an Extermination mission just to see if the game would try to pop 64 Dreadnoughts out of an egg (COZY EGG that would've been). Also a Dreadnought 'swarm' showing up would've been REAL chaos xD

Biomass converter doesn't give you ammo it adds ammo from your reserve into your current "mag", it would allow you to fire constantly but you would still run out of ammo.

Honestly, neurotoxin grenades would've been best for the younglings - which, by the way, spawn in trios normally. Which means they spawn in groups of 192.
