When they last use bring it for free last weekend I felt really really overpowered. It's better than an Orbital Railgun if you are good at throwing. It can one-shot an entire smaller bug hole. I was getting 600+ kills easily on the harder difficulties.

Eagle airstrike will do the same with a wider radius and 3 uses vs 2 on the 500lg. The 500kg makes up for the smaller radius with height which is good for the Bile Titans.

Needs a bigger AOE. It really feels like it does not have an AOE that is anywhere near how it looks.

repsahj120d ago

I agree. Same AOE as hellbomb and it will be great.

Grilla119d ago

That would be way overpowered but I agree the aoe is pretty small.

northpaws120d ago

Precision Strike is better. Much faster cooldown, and hit quite hard if you use it right.

So is there 2000 odd players now?

FFLISH1d 12h ago

You sure you didn't search up halo infinite player count by mistake? thats the game that can barely top 2000 players daily on steam while HD2 has 68k last 24h.

The concord player are now playing starfield again, both of them

@markdn

Starfield averages between 10-15k players just on Steam, and that's a year after release and no major modding scene for the title yet. That's very healthy for a single player RPG in general. Just saying.

What has halo got to do with my comment just out of interest? The remark was simply a joke any reason you seem to have taken it to heart? Fan boys really are a sorry bunch like I actually care how many players are playing a game I'm bored of already # uninstalledthisrepetitivetrash

@FurrRealz and your point being? Are you comparing the failure of one game, to the total failure of a complete xbox generation, yet again? Surely not?

Shane Kim1d 10h ago

Halo is Microsofts flagship title. Concord...not so much.

Brazz1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Latest data shows +68.000 players in 24h, on steam alone. Likely to be over +90.000 players with Playstation.

You went out of your way to go into a article and troll a game that you are supposedly "bored" with and "uninstalled" already? ofc now its a joke to you after your 2000 player claim that you pulled out of your ass has been slammed by facts and proven wrong. If you didn't care about the player numbers why are you here and bringing up false player numbers in the first place? you are a prime example of a sorry fanboy.

So how much is that in total number of players?

IAMRealHooman1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

we had 65k last night
currently 45k steam alone

Scissorman1d 9h ago

It's not only returning players; the game has also shot up among the top 20 best selling games on Steam.

Rimeskeem1d 6h ago

That's a 3 month high for the game. Good to see!
