Posted the final scoreboard for this round earlier.

The two clips are the same push, just with dead time in the middle cut out. The full clip feels like a perfect encapsulation of the struggle sometimes. Beacons on top D to pressure (though they kept hunting them), ladders to make entry, Assault's Frontliner health regen to stay in the fight as long as possible, but ultimately they just wanted to win more. Good on them, honestly. The enemy team played to win and won by 400.

Conquest is the OG GOAT but it really is such a ball buster sometimes, man. I've heard BT is better for small motivated squads to win, might mainline it for a bit. Though the game as a whole could really use some big round win bonus to incentivize PTFO'ing.

I gapped 2nd place by 15,000 score, got 24 caps, and STILL LOST by 400 tickets. 8 blueberries spent the whole round ratting the top of B (Mirak Valley Conquest)

(i.e. no foregrip)

(i.e. no foregrip at all)

Behold, two clips in which I do quintessential assault things: I assaulted the objective using the gadgets and weapons at my disposal, clearing it out for my team. I even have spawn beacons nearby to continually pressure. That is 100%, by definition, what Assault does. But I also used movement and jumping around in the process.

So, genuine question (and I do mean genuine, I want to have a healthy and good-faith discussion here): Would you, as hypothetical teammates, prefer that I clear out objectives as aggressively as possible and with every means at my disposal as I do in these clips, or would you have preferred that I pushed slowly, methodically, clearing every corner and 'roleplaying' the way that is generally most 'immersive' or least 'CoD-like', even if it means getting caught out by enemies with more time to prepare, and likely failing the push as a result? In other words, is the win more important, or is playing to the spirit of the game more important?

I for one, personally, hate losing more than anything. If I have a tool at my disposal, like movement, I will use it to best benefit the team. If movement helps me clear out objectives, and I am capable of using it but choose not to, then to me choosing not to is akin to throwing the game. I love Battlefield. I find it's the superior product to Call of Duty and other shooters. I've been playing since 1942. I even had both expansions. I played BF: Vietnam, too. Battlefield is the shit and I've always loved what it offered. BF6 happens to offer really smooth movement, so I use it to my and the team's benefit.

And man is it fun catching people off guard with that ladder

The only thing I can think of is his gunner hit the mine destroyer perk after 3/4 C4 exploded. Literally see no other way that BS just happened.

Godspeed, warrior

Gun's absolutely ridiculous. Guy in the third clip couldn't even hit the ground before getting deleted

It's exactly what the game needed. It's a very good gameplay mechanic that appropriately punishes recklessness. Plus my time has zero value anyway, and CIG understands that better than anyone.

Sensitive and graphic content warning: indirect implications of military and political violence - no actual violence or gore in the linked content

Looking for opinions, suggestions, and critiques of this back jacket blurb, as well as the book's tagline and title. I want to also make sure that it accurately sells to a potential reader what I know the book itself is like. Unfortunately I don't have any art yet to help with that.

Some things I am looking for in particular:

• Given no other context, what genre and tone are you expecting?
• What perspective structure are you expecting? I.e. single POV or multiple?
• Is the premise as-written intriguing? Is it too wordy, vague, cluttered, etc?
• Does the blurb give enough detail about characters to hook or interest you?
• Is the title memorable or eye-catching?
• Are there any other hooks that drew your attention?
• Any general thoughts on the tagline would be appreciated as well.
