Hot take: This is the best Battle Royale game I've ever played.
This game feels smooth as hell to play compared to everything else but Fortnite, the gunplay from Titanfall feels awesome and the movement (if restricted) allowed me to move freely around the map with no fear of anyone. During fights I was moving around buildings like a madman, shooting at every angle and for the first time I was actively hunting the enemy instead of waiting for them to come into my ambush. I did well with randoms as the communication wheel has a lot of options, you always jump together and you can even come back from the dead!
I'm not affiliated with EA or Respawn because damn, sure I sound like it, but I needed to write down an opinion. If anyone who wants to try it add me on PS4
Rough times at my office. No firings, no demotions, it's "just" that we are moving into a new building with an open floor plan. It had to be done, for budgeting reasons. Pretty demoralizing for the PhDs that have been in an office for decades. As demoralizing as getting laid off? Nope!
But I still feel bad for them.
When I found out about this plan about 18 months ago, I promised myself I would apply for jobs so I would have the option of not making this move. Maybe even going somewhere where I would have an office? Or at least re-sharpening my job search skills? Getting a peek at some far, far worse options, to gain some perspective? But I never even got my resume / C.V. put together, and I'm embarrassed about all of it.
I had a window office, it overlooked the forensics building. When I would see a black van pulled up to the delivery entrance, I eventually deduced that it was probably a dead body. There was also a construction site on the other side of the street: constant clanging, hammering, drilling.

I had an office! With a window!
I have a window office but I don't care too much about it. Of course I work for a school district, so the district offices are just a renovated elementary school, and the only thing I see out the window is a Kia Dealership
It's vaguely humiliating, it really feels like I did something wrong, but really all I did was, "not put any effort at all into switching to a different job / industry". I'm surrounded by stressed-out people going through the various phases of loss and it stresses me out too. It's how I'm wired.
So how many of THEM went out and got a new job instead? Very few of them. The first one was "the guy who was expected to announce the news and explain it and to lead us through this whole process". The one everyone focused their anger on. Yeah, now THAT was a terrible job to have.
The last one was the person that I worked most closely with, the one who inspired me and reminded me of how many skills I have and how productive I can be when I'm teamed with the right people. And they were actually hesitant to leave, after spending many months working hard to land a truly fantastic position. I implored them not to hesitate, to flee quickly. But that loss hurts.
Is that the first “pro-consumer” move activision has made? They usually seem to get railed on by people for being all about making money and milking things to no end. So this seems rather “different” for them.
Maybe it’s just cheaper than the lawsuits that they sensed possibly coming?
Serves as an example maybe as to why a streaming music delivery service for a game like this might not be the best idea ever.
Yeah, as I remember it, there was a message on the start-up screen for GH:L back when they were closing down the GH:TV part, encouraging people to contact them if they bought the game after November 2017. I think it even mentioned that they might be entitled to a rebate / partial refund.
That would make more sense... or at least be more inline with what you’d expect from Activision... I had just never heard therebeing a lawsuit already.

It's just a desk in a room with a door. It's not an actual valuation of your worth.
I've worked in offices most of my 'adult' career, and I've come across total wastes of space and resources that contributed nothing to the company but walk around like they have the biggest d**k in the building just because they have a door that closes. I guess it made me pretty sour on the whole idea of 'earning' my own office, or anyone below Senior management.
My last company moved to a HUGE office building shortly before I started there because all the sales managers wanted their own offices. Times were good, so why not? Those offices were mostly empty because sales managers only came into the office on Fridays for the most part.
Then times were not good. There were three re-organizations in 2 years and a lot of people lost their jobs. Good people who actually did positive things, and had been with the company for years. Those offices stayed empty.
Is it a little shot to the ego to 'lose' your office? Maybe. Is it better than losing jobs? Definitely.
Self worth should never be tied to where you put your ass to stare at a monitor. Unless you are making phone calls to clients, discussing sensitive information openly, or have hygiene issues, not having an office is no big deal.
I've always made more friends at offices that share space/cubicles.
I don't want to sound like a callous D-bag, because I can sympathize with your current events, but there is a silver lining my man!

Wouldn't it fill you with more stress to go through the whole process of job hunting again? I tell you, it's not the same as it was probably the last time you had to worry about it. That is more stressful, as I can tell you from recent experience. Maintaining your position and salary is huge!
Like your past coworker said, you shine when paired up with others!
Working from home today as they transfer all the equipment from the old office to the new one. I have a window today! I can see squirrels and trees and the coolers that I meant to bring in after the Super Bowl.
I really hope it’s rock band related. But have very little hope. I don’t have any interest in anything else really unless it’s a music related rpg. But even then I’m trying to hold off on buying many single player experiences for awhile because I’m backlogged.

TLDR; I expected nothing but enjoyed it a lot.
EDIT: So apparently the function I thought unannounced a thread doesn't do that.
How about 9th row center floor and 2nd row center floor, respectively, for those shows?
What the hell happened to the forums?! This new layout on my phone is whack!
Looks different on my phone too! Blue and white. It’s not bad.
EDIT: At the bottom of the site, it DOES mention the "Vanilla Keystone Theme 2019" in the copyright. So yeah, that's the deal.
But I still feel bad for them.

tl;dr change is hard.

I would gladly take their job over the place I work at. People see the very small things as bad , when there’s far worse out there.
But "well paying job" trumps Trump's "jobs! jobs! jobs!" that require help from federal assistance to survive.

Time to shine, brother man
OH, hey everybody else. Happy Friday
Hey my phones back to the old theme I think?
I still have double quote
its like a weird mix now between the old and new. It’s the new new? Or the old new new? Maybe the new new old? I can’t tell anymore.
Definitely is a mix of both. And it’s quite awful. Lol
I assume they're getting ready to announce what they've been working on with NCSOFT.
I really hope it’s rock band related. But have very little hope. I don’t have any interest in anything else really unless it’s a music related rpg. But even then I’m trying to hold off on buying many single player experiences for awhile because I’m backlogged.
