    It takes 70-90 seconds to launch Modern Warfare 3

    That’s it? Launching Warzone takes at least ten times that, between daily 45GB updates, multiple restarts when updating, unskippable intro videos and PS2-era loading times.

      Wtf who would play that? I’m not waiting 10 minutes to play a videogame - that’s a 6th of my free time every day.

        Not willing to wait 10 minutes to play a game? You Sir, or Madam, have never played modded Rimworld.

        Now imagine loading a game, realizing your mods aren’t quite right, and having to exit out and reload.

        As to 10 minutes to something like Warzone… no. Just no. An online battle royal type game needs to be fast. It can’t be all laid back and calming like Rimworld, the colony/warcrimes simulator.

          wait 10 minutes to play a game

          When we were in computer camp in '84 or so, it took 10-minutes to load Dungeons & Dragons off the tape drive to the VIC-20. Had to kick it off before break time, and then we had to fight for a spot to play. Read error? Rewind and start again, now break’s over.

          Rotten assed kids, all of ya.

          Look, modding is a game on its own. Getting to play the modded game just means you’ve already won the main event

      Just because there’s worse, doesn’t mean we should accept bad.
