Gamers these days seem to be afraid of having to have some skill to win a gunfight. As the TTK in the game wasn't even that high, just gives everyone a chance to react in-case you get jumped off guard lol, you'll probably still lose but you can react.
The only part that feels weird to me was sniping...
It needs 2 shots no matter what you do (even headshots).

That makes others guns better at long range than Sniper.
Like the handgun can basically kill you from the sniper range in like 3-4 fast shots.... while Sniper could only shot once due the longer recharge :D

It encouraged genuine firefights, you were rewarded for being situational and smart with how you approached opponents. People really don't understand how much Concord nailed this aspect.

Honestly it is a true shame the way it was rejected by the community. If they bring it back I would be over the moon, If it didn't shut down i'd still be playing.
Yup! Shame what happened, it was an extremely satisfying game to play and you were rewarded for playing good and smart, no luck based BS. Shame we never got far enough to eventually get that ranked skill based mode, where things would have really got heated

Well on this game sniping being one shot would have definitely thrown off the balance, the only character that I had an issue with was Lennox just overall too well rounded and his weapon was indeed on par with a sniper from a distance. Sniper did have a have a secondary weapon as well, so it kinda balanced out that shortcoming.

I saw many people beast with the sniper though

They should make building your crew a core component of the game. As in, successful missions (wins) gives you resources to add new characters to your ship. Losses gets your characters removed from your ship. Make winning and losing feel meaningful.
Nah, they need to get rid of that mechanic.

People don’t play hero shooters to pick & choose heroes every round some bound to only being picked 1 time.

People have 2-3 heroes & solely want to play those heroes with no bound that’s the reason that mode in concord was the least play. People want to run & gun or play a competitive game mode w some sort of strategy w team play

I don't think the characters were complex enough to "main" in Concord. The depth to them wasn't there. Fixing that feels like a more daunting task for the dev.

No, it was a great mechanic. How else would I run quicker than everyone else in the map despite playing a tank role? the shit you could brew up was effective and satisfying.

Has to become F2P, but will they redesign the characters, speed up the gameplay, reduce the TTK....
Concord had many fundamental flaws such as no rank mode day 1 leaving no reason for YouTubers/streamers to play the game & or community to form around competition.

A hero shooter w no ultimate? Terrible choice to go with as ultimates acts as an ice breaker between matches as that 1 cool thing that could happen & or use to turn around snowballs.

Heroes having basics weapons? Such as a AR/SMG/Shotgun as there primary while others only have knifes. Allow players to pick guns & customize attachment.

Character design flaw. Wipe 50% of the characters in areas of 16 heroes go w 8. Re design them to be more unique & or attractive or completely goon them out.

F2P. Should’ve been F2P day w half the roster going through a time limit players can play the game to get gold & fully unlock characters or drop $10 to fully unlock them.

No battlepass? Terrible choice. What is the reason to play concord? There’s no battlepass & it doesn’t even have to be a fomo battlepass it can be something like Halo infinites or Helldivers 2.

Progression was flaw. No prestige system or master camos to unlock for weapons. You can get gold camos in COD, Overwatch, Xdefiant.

There wasn’t social features. No clans or pve mode to play on the side outside pvp. I would’ve thought that there ex destiny devs they would have a 3v3 trials mode in concord since that been a fan favorite but nope nothing.

There’s many more problems that even if they made all these changes the narrative behind concord & firewalk is that there dei/woke & the game is mediocre or uncool. They would have to rename the game & the studio since players wouldn’t trust concord or firewalk. Who would spend money on concord or firewalk even if the game was f2p when they pulled the game? You really only have one chance for live service & when the feedback is this negative there’s little to no chance.

Exactly & that’s the problem. Why develop a feature where the heroes from a fundamental hero shooter element is flaw. Most heroes in concord have generic abilities w many of them overlapping w what they do in game or abilities not being that unique to standout & most gameplay surround actual gunplay or camping w a team while hoarding all dps/healing abilities together

No he's on PS5, I thought you guys were PSN buds? 🤣

He's still on my list but I need to try and get him to play Helldivers 2 with me and another Concord bud one of these days .

Also you know Steam numbers will be what everyone will be focused on IF this does ever come back. They are in a lose / lose situation

Keep it PS5 only and we'll be golden
Helldivers 2 times is amazing.

Yeah there better off using the skeleton of concord like the gun play, assets & animation & try cranking out a Killzone multiplayer that more like Star Wars Battlefront 2 galactic conquest mode which is fucking awesome & imagine that mode in the universe of Killzone.

Or making a much smaller game like a anime mobile game that releases on PS & Mobile maybe use one of Sony anime ip like Demon Slayer since that has a huge fanbase & there’s a movie in the makes that will break records, inline the demon slayer movie & make a overwatch clone or valorant clone using demon slayer characters just like Marvel Rivals maybe then they could release something by 2026.

But if they try to rerelease concord it will just be another fiasco between the grifters that are looking at firewalk, concord & Sony as easy money to grift especially as they will bring steam numbers.

In this case PC did more harm than almost anything else. This should’ve been on PS4 & PS5 maybe on mobile or exclusively on a PS PC launcher (which PS games on PC should strictly be on there permanently exclusive to the PS PC launcher just like Hoyoverse who o don’t even think they release on Steam & instead a hoyoverse launcher)

That or make a easy clone game w new characters like a supercell brawl stars which is huge on mobile, ps can have there own 3v3 ps & mobile allstars type game that literally just a clone of brawl stars but using Sony/PS characters & other iconic gaming characters

Luke is a 🤡 he did nothing but trash Concord for months and milk it for content while claiming he had no interest in playing it. I'm sure he's just waiting for it to return so he can squeeze a few month's worth of content out of trashing it.

Luke is definitely one of the worst gaming content creators out there. He produces tabloid trash that attracts a simpleton audience.
