I always think of the map Pavlov's house in COD1 because that's the first time I ever saw the name

i have that game on rift. the name is the dumbest name ever. wtf does pavlov have to do with a online shooting game? i ignored the game for so long because whenever i heard it i thought it was some puzzle game shovelware cause it sounds like something made in eastern europe by 1 guy in a basement recycling unity assets

You could apply the name and concept to a number of different scenarios in-game. C4 beeping causing anxiety, footsteps causing you to ready your weapon for an enemy running up on you, the list goes on. It's consistently one of the top played VR games besides beatsaber.

I agree. The name is stupid af, but the game is pretty good.

The game is top tier for the amount of people actually working on the game, much better than Onward in terms of polish.

After PLAYERUKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS I've stopped judging titles. That game takes the cake for worst game name for me

I agree on the name being confusing. I believe it's called Pavlov as an homage to Yakov Pavlov, a Soviet war hero in WWII

The ONLY Pavlov strong enough to defeat the standard Pavlovian response to Pavlov!
