Death Wish Update

[Dead Tom]

So as most of you have seen we have some new enemies and new stipulations on leveling. No more grinding Rats anymore. I'm going to be running heists most of the night so if you want to come play hit me up on STEAM.

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Those are smexy masks...

Think they took the spikes on the final mask a little far, but still...

 

[Dead Tom]

Meh like them

Huh. Looking at the actual webpage for Death Wish ( Linky ), the second achievement from the top left looks an awful lot like a lvl 1 sentry from Team Fortress 2...

armor seems kind of pointless on death wish. ICTV just gets shredded in 2 shots.

 

[Dead Tom]

Played a few death wish runs last night. The object is to be fast, precise and deadly. The team has to stick together cause once one goes down it starts going to hell. The health regen after a down is only 10%.

Seems to be fast, precise, and dead imo. Tried to run watchdogs on death wish. While we somehow actually made it out of the van alive, 3 bulldozers romped up into our room and proceeded to annihilate us.

I hate the update on this game we cant stealth it anymore which is stupid

I can at least get behind the 'only 2 body bag' thing since those are pretty large bags to be carrying around a ton of them, but it begs the question then as to:

1). Why you're able to carry unlimited slightly smaller bags for the loot (and where you're stashing all the loose loot you find laying around that doesn't go into bags) and

2). Why you can only carry up to 6 cable ties when specced for more when they're tiny little strips of plastic that are a pathetically small weight...

But yeah, an awful lot of people are quite irritated they've pretty much destroyed stealthing as much as they have with this update.

 

[Dead Tom]

Ya a lot of the guys I have talked to have said the same thing. They nerfed stealth and it sucks. The body bags I think would be a nice number of 3 if possible but doubtful change.
