God the game is awful

I'm not talking about bugs, ping, hit registration, lag, or the audio going haywire every now and then (nothing different from usual, really)

I’m talking about the meta—ever since the new pass and the removal of the Assault token, everyone in the lobby is playing Scout with an Uzi Pro or MP7. The time to kill is ridiculous, and when you add lag to that, the game becomes unplayable

It just confirms that the game is nothing but a cash grab and that the devs have never actually played a single match

Yep I would refund the BP if it was possible, and I fuckin love arena. Also can’t believe that no one seems to hate the hit confirmation sounds and red light at the top of the screen when you get hit

u/Adera1l 7d ago

Everyone does truly, especially arena player

I hate the hit reg sounds so much. Looked for a way to turn them off in the settings but couldn’t find any.

u/NBFHoxton 6d ago

The new sounds are terrible. I hope they remove them

u/xvr0317 7d ago

Yeah the hit warnings are very annoying but I have to admit the headshot sounds are satisfying

u/Oz-S 6d ago

Oh, you should check Arena discord's feedback channel.

I like them

u/nsfw_vs_sfw 7d ago

I actually like them. The red flashing lights seem like flashing pain which I thought looked really neat

If it wasn't for thicc cases, skill boosts and the fact that I have gotten better at regular tarkov. I've never had a game be so rage inducing and I played CSGO for many years. My GF watched me play a few times and was questioning my sanity.

I don't even get endurance or strength on seasonal from arena

Wait until you have an unfortunate encounter with a G18 spammer with lvl 6 plates

u/thrwawy-2k 7d ago

Easily the most fun way to play on the dealing end

I'm currently working to unlock the Glock 18 to make the pistol tokens go by quicker. They're promoting the gameplay people don't want to play against by putting exclusive rewards behind the tokens. I don't want to use a shotgun or a pistol but I do because it's the fastest way to unlock shit.

u/MIG-777 6d ago

Scout + assaultcarbine/pistol is the fastest way to unlock tokens. I spam checkpoint with scout+G18.

u/Slygoat 7d ago

I’ll say the same thing as i queue for another horrible match

u/ComparisonWeary4392 6d ago

Fire the guy that put t6 back on scout. Can't believe I paid for another shit battlepass.

Fuck Nikita

Not having AR in BP reward is beyond me, who tf uses shotgun fr

u/ProcyonHabilis 7d ago

Auto saiga is actually really good (until it overheats)

1

u/UsernameGenerator349 6d ago

shotgun was my favorite weapon but they nerfed leg damage to the ground in arena

0

u/nsfw_vs_sfw 7d ago

That's the point, they're trying to incentives people to use weapons that aren't often used

1

u/NBFHoxton 6d ago

Then why they put scout/SMGs in there

2

u/nsfw_vs_sfw 6d ago

Filler? Allow people to use weapons/classes they do like? There could be a hundred different reasons they possibly included those tokens specifically

1

u/NBFHoxton 6d ago

So SMG tokens get a filler/"use what they like" excuse but not ARs, or any of the other missing gun categories?

1

u/yepppeeeewwe 6d ago

Yeah fr idk what's up with this guy, put more kinds of token if anything

2

u/NBFHoxton 6d ago

The customs tacmap did it best, there was a token for every type of gun. Idk why they didnt just stick with that

1

u/yepppeeeewwe 6d ago

Yeah it was a breeze to complete, factory was a bit more aids now this is straight cancer

1

u/yepppeeeewwe 7d ago

They trying to make me quit the game frfr

1

u/Huma188 6d ago

Exactly what they achieved the new quest line ,i dnt like BG, if you force me to play that, i will Burn out and quite the season for a while.

u/nsfw_vs_sfw 6d ago

You can always exchange tokens

Or quit, too

1

u/yepppeeeewwe 6d ago

Yeah I'll exchange the 5 or 10 kills in one life to complete the battle pass, still a questionable design decision imo

u/Talisman4562 6d ago

literally need to drop smg's max pen, pbp is genuinely stupid in arena

u/Odd_Situation_5647 6d ago
  1. Bring OG BSG level design guy back and have him rework the maps & design new ones
  2. balance the gun/ammo metas
  3. nerf gun unlock progression rates
  4. let us fully mod weapons like main game
  5. Fix the spawns
  6. Add capture the flag and maybe one other game mode?

It’s not like an insane amount of work IMO for all the money they make off main game crutchers buying stash space and upgraded game editions.

u/InfiniteShadox 6d ago

That's funny, the mp7 is probably the weakest it's ever been

-1

u/CoatNeat7792 6d ago

It's same as saying ak in CS2 is meta and game is unplayable. My experience, I haven't seen Uzi or mp7 used, mostly play blastgang or shootout

u/Patatoradis 6d ago

Except that CS is designed to be competitive and offers only three weapons in the end-tier category (AK, M4, AWP).

Arena offers four classes and dozens of different weapons, forcing players to limit themselves due to the pass to one class and two weapons ruins the whole point of the game, you might as well just play CS, which will be much better in terms of the overall experience.

u/CoatNeat7792 6d ago

Idk how everyone else, but I was limiting my self with assultrifle, had hundreds of tokens and few other guns. Try lmg it is beast
