Battlebit has been scratching this itch really well for me lately. I hope the battlefield series can make a return to form but I am not holding my breath. Shooters tend to change with the times (imagine if all games still played like the original DOOM?) and I imagine they're going to keep changing things, but hopefully for the better.

It's interesting to compare Battlefield vs. Call of Duty and how the games have done in the past decade. COD is still a top seller and is doing great, Battlefield not so much. I feel like they both have iterated in ways (the newer COD games are similar to the ones I played in the early ~2010's, but there have been some changes), but the ways COD has iterated have been better accepted. They even had a Battle Royale attached to the game (It sounds like BF was trying to do this at one point) and it was positively received as well.

I REALLY REALLY wanted this game to pan out because I love the genre. Too bad it flopped hard :(.

I bought it day 1 with the intent of (at a minimum) giving it a try until my refund period ran out and it ran like ass. The opening cutscene was a slideshow and that's with me running a Ryzen 7 5800x, GTX 3070, and 32gb of ram. I started googling to see if it was an issue with drivers or my system and that was when I started seeing reviews for it that weren't too great. I went ahead and refunded it at that point.

I had the xcover pro prior to getting the xcover 6 and the batteries are the same size, so I just use the charger/dock I got for the xcover pro. There are definitely battery chargers out there, but even the one I got I wasn't 100% confident it was legit until i had it in my hands.

I've been rocking it for a month or 2 now and it is the best! I'm able to watch YouTube in bed, while charging, with wired earbuds. On a trip I was able to swap out the battery instead of recharging.

It is also SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the xcover pro and has way better battery life. A world of a difference.

I'm still rocking my TWCS! I'm excited but not in a rush. Star Citizen still isn't in the state I was hoping it would be and I don't play Elite Dangerous anymore. I'm an avid DCS'er but I've taken a bit of a break recently. At this point, I'm not sure I'd use it enough, so I may wait a another year or so before I grab one.

Must have been using a weird microwave to make a banana like that.
