@@acecombat2shill You are walking down a long dank tunnel. The sound of your own footsteps and the occasional echoing drip of water is the only sounds that disrupt the peace as you search out the next vein of Morkite. You can't help but feel a bit uneasy as you travel further and further into the tunnel, throwing the odd flare forward to disrupt the encroaching wave of oppressing dark. Things have been a little bit to easy recently, and you'd bet the next round of beers with your buddies that the situation is about to change with interest. You pause for a moment, scratching your beard in puzzlement. There's a faint vibration, felt through the tunnel. It's constant and seems to be getting louder as you listen. Faintly you start to hear the distant echoes of... a roar? The more you listen the more detail you can pick out from the sound. It almost sounds like short deep groans... No... It almost sounds... Like words? A realization strikes you as your stomach drops into a bottomless abyss. Your mouth drops open in dawning horror as you recognize the words. The ground suddenly goes from faint vibrations to manic tremors in a matter of seconds and you can clearly hear it now. *keep rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling, keep rolling rolling rolling rolling ro-* You throw another flare ahead of you as the one you threw before expires.

There's no way you've got enough firepower to keep up with these numbers, so you turn away and make a mad dash as best you can, but it's made difficult with how badly the tunnel is shaking beneath your feet. Suddenly a massive impact strikes you in the back, your shields absorb all the damage with no problems, but the sheer momentum behind the blow sends you flying off your feet regardless. You don't even have a chance to gather your bearings as you limbs flail gracelessly while you fly through the air before another impact sends you flying in the opposite direction. Even less time is spent cartwheeling down the tunnel when another impact overwrites your current trajectory. You shields crumble and you start feeling the hits directly. Back and forth and back again you fly, darkness is encroaching on your vision and all you can hear now is the thunderous cries of the Q'ronnar Younglings ringing in your ears... *KEEPROLLINGROLLINGROLLINGROLLINGROLLINGKEEPROLLINGROLLINGROLLINGROLLINGROLLING*
Yeeee... but for those that don't have a 20,000$ PC that wouldn't be fun, especially since it means that it could happen on a deep dives and then you are stuck running at 10fps for most of the stage.
this is what i’d imagine a hive to really look like, unrestricted by things like “game” “design”. a sea of bugs charging to kill the intruders, who are firing indiscriminately into a swarm and missing a total of zero shots, because there are just that many bugs. literal fountains of swarmers.
I would say more like limited to people's PCs. Not everyone has a 2k dollars pc, a lot of people play this game in not so good computers because it is very well optimized. A swarm that big will probably make the game unplayable for a lot of people
@@TOBY-jy7bz There's like 8 mods that cuts down on effects and makes the game easier to run. There's less excuse now. Heck, my laptop would sometimes go into a throwing fit by freezing so hard, I'd be playing the game on a powerpoint presentation for a few seconds. Doesn't do that anymore with the mods on. Why? Because I don't lose FPS by watching shit cause effects, to the 500 flares tossed on the floor, maps aren't cluttered with flora in two biomes. I even have a mod that stops the game from giving those annoying screen shakes or any FPS loss due to fire and ice and electric effects. It's wonderful to actually be able to play the game AND still be able to install some neat mods for funzies.
@@TOBY-jy7bz Actually, they're the worse. Random models moving about barely matters, but effects is what usually kills off even the strongest of laptops. Which is annoying when AAA games value graphics over playability, constantly trying to shove a bukkake of special effects and expecting us to only care about that. And I also would like not to have to downsize my game to HL1 levels of textures to try and play the game, thank you.
I played a point extract on this as scout once. Shooting flares was a waste. Couldn't hit anything but bugs. Killing bugs was a waste, it was better to wait for the engine to overload and despawn a bunch of bugs than to try and kill them. Was tons of fun. Would do again. There was probably 4x the bugs you see in this video. IDK if it's cause we were on 4 players, or how the host had it set. I have a 6750XT playing at 1080p and I wasn't getting above 40 FPS.
Dude, yes. Alien: Fireteam Elite has a card you can play that doubles the amount of basic enemies spawned in. I think DRG could certainly add something like this in the future.
Always wanted a difficulty like this, Haz 5+ numbers with haz 3 HP/DMG/whatnot. sometimes you just wanna shoot a lot of bugs that aren’t juiced up on liquid morkite.
Would've liked to see you try an Extermination mission just to see if the game would try to pop 64 Dreadnoughts out of an egg (COZY EGG that would've been). Also a Dreadnought 'swarm' showing up would've been REAL chaos xD

Biomass converter doesn't give you ammo it adds ammo from your reserve into your current "mag", it would allow you to fire constantly but you would still run out of ammo.
My favorite swarm control setting is 10x bugs, 2x speed , with 1/2x health and 1/2x damage and max'd out enemy variety (minus most types of mactera). An absolute bloodbath
Think of it this way: a vanilla, fairly common mactera trio would spawn 3 mactera spawn or maybe 2 spawn and a tri jaw. This mod would spawn 192 mactera spawn from one trio generation.
Watching this made me wish Horde games would allow players to customize the spawns to goofy levels like this. Ghost ship could seriously add something nearly identical to this and it’d feel like a totally new game, although I’m guessing they’d be more concerned about performance from 1000 bugs spawning but still, this would be so fun lol
9:15 Honestly the main interesting part of this mission was the younglings The mode's not hard aside from specific enemy types even the younglings didn't do that much damage they just threw you around I mean it really goes to show, right Haz 1 is super easy I mean we struggled for ammo sometimes on this But otherwise bugs died fast and did chip damage It's nowhere near as hard as even like Haz 4 Oskar is too used to high haz he kept forgetting the bugs did no damage You could just run through swarms and be mostly ok Especially as slasher spawn rates were really low Also i'm not saying playing this mission wasn't interesting, it was still good But the younglings are the main thing a viewer would care about [cut off from the bottom of the screen] Also none of this was actually recorded it was [??] shadowplay clips making it a nightmare

Honestly the main interesting part of this mission was the younglings
The mode's not hard aside from specific enemy types
even the younglings didn't do that much damage they just threw you around
I mean it really goes to show, right
Haz 1 is super easy
I mean we struggled for ammo sometimes on this
But otherwise bugs died fast and did chip damage
It's nowhere near as hard as even like Haz 4
Oskar is too used to high haz he kept forgetting the bugs did no damage
You could just run through swarms and be mostly ok
Especially as slasher spawn rates were really low
Also i'm not saying playing this mission wasn't interesting, it was still good
But the younglings are the main thing a viewer would care about
[cut off from the bottom of the screen] Also none of this was actually recorded it was [??] shadowplay clips making it a nightmare
