Okay, today I’m gonna talk about Episode 8, Act 1. This one took a while, but it’s finally here. So, let’s get started.
First off, I opened up the game to see what this new episode was all about. The intro cutscene started playing, and it was pretty cool. It set the stage for what was coming, you know, with some flashbacks and stuff, getting you all hyped.
After the cutscene, I jumped into the menus and checked out the new stuff. The battle pass caught my eye. I spent some time looking through all the new cosmetics. There are some really cool skins and player cards in there.
- Started the game and watched the intro cutscene.
- Explored the menus to see new content.
- Checked out the battle pass and all the new cosmetics.
Then, I decided to try out the new map changes. Icebox was back, and I was curious to see what they did with it. I hopped into a custom game to explore the map solo. The changes to mid were interesting. It felt different, but in a good way. I spent a good chunk of time just running around, getting a feel for the new layout.
- Tried out the new map changes on Icebox.
- Started a custom game to explore solo.
- Spent time getting familiar with the new layout.
After exploring, I queued up for a match to see how the changes played out in a real game. It was intense! People were trying new things, and the new chokepoints made for some interesting fights. I played a few matches, and honestly, it felt refreshing. The wider corridors definitely allow for more movement and different strategies.
- Queued up for a match to test the changes.
- Played a few matches to see how it felt.
- Noticed people trying new strategies.
Changes and Thoughts
The wider chokepoints are a big deal. You can actually move around now without feeling like you’re stuck in a hallway. I saw people using different agents, trying out new strats, and it made the game feel more dynamic. I even saw a few people trying to use that new operator, but it’s too early to say how good it is.
Overall, I spent a few hours playing around with the new update, and I’m pretty happy with it. The changes feel good, the new cosmetics are sick, and I’m excited to see how the meta develops. I might even try to grind out the battle pass this season.
That’s it for today, thanks for sticking around. See ya!
