Oh I know you were just asking a questionOh, I wasn't trying to downplay. I just don't play BR's so I was genuinely curious.![]()
I was just speaking to how it seems like people aren't willing to give Apex its due in terms of how good its ping system is for a shooter. People keep saying things like "Well X action game or Y strategy game had a ping system 10 years ago!" And that's fine, but those are different types of games and this ping system is easily better than anything I've used in an online shooter before.
And I should note, I hate the game and stopped playing it after one night. But I'm still willing to give it its due and say that the ping system is amazing.
And this is impressive too: that they forced the people testing it to not use mics so that they could figure out how much could actually be conveyed through pings.Also Respawn did a lot of playtesting to make sure their pinging system would be solid enough to work as the only mode of communication in the game. Other games treat it as a tool to help with communication.
The answer is a hell of a lot more than any other online game's ping system.
