Wow, Pete turn me onto this today. It is the maker of Titanfall’s Battle Royale game and its damn good...and free. Very polished. I hadn’t heard of it until this afternoon. Give it a look. I am impressed.

Some great tips to know. I’ve played about 15 matches and it’s a badass game.

It's on xbox, ps4 and PC. Most solid launch. It adds enough twists to stand out from the other battle royal games. I'll be playing more of this one.

OK, I've only done the training. LOVE the Respawn-Titanfall weapon ballistics. But how can this be a Battle Royale game if teammates can heal or revive you? It's not "one death, and you're done?"

You can revive squad mates in PUBG and Blackout. The only twist in this is the “banner grab/respawn” which is risky and kinda cool. I REALLY enjoyed it last night. I won’t be around til late tonight but I hope to get a few rounds in.

Got it. I only play solo in PUBG and Blackout, so this squad dynamic will be new, and hopefully fun, to me.

This game is EXCELLENT. Best ballistics of any of the "big four" battle royale games. Very polished out of the box, with enough unique features and quirks to separate it from the other battle royale games.

In a nutshell: If you liked Titanfall or Titanfall 2 (count me as a big YES to both games), then Apex Legends may be the battle royale game for you.

I'm really digging it. And it's FREE!

2.5 million players across all platforms on launch day. EA may have a hit on its hands with this one.

So polished. So much fun!

One negative about this fun game that needs to be fixed in a patch: Time to Kill. TTK is ridiculously long in this game.

I unloaded a 35-bullet clip from an automatic assault rifle into a guy at fairly close range last night, and he didn't go down. So either TTK must be reduced or the body armor made less effective.

Sound like why I never like Halo. Shot a guy with a full clip, he just turns and b*tch slaps you and you die.

From Respawn's standpoint, I can see why the TTK is a bit long. Helps to build teamwork. But it is frustrating to stake a good position, surprise a foe, unload a clip or two and not drop the f*cker.

I would like to see a tweak to TTK in this game, not an overhaul. And let's be honest: I'm not the world's best shot. :)

Still, I'm digging the hell out of Apex Legends. Enjoy it more than any other BR game on the market.

Bill, Pete, and I finished #2 last night. Got lucky and stayed in the circle. Didn't even shoot until it was us or them. But the TTK is frustrating. If I can't take someone down without help, then I fail to see the point of being the last men standing. I mean, once the shooting started, we didn't have a chance. I don't understand that.

Interesting read about TTK in Apex Legends, in which testing shows pistols and shotguns are more effective and have shorter TTK than assault rifles, SMG's and sniper rifles:

Odd. Defies conventional wisdom about weapon play in shooter games.

That's just flat weird.

The one positive about the current TTK pointed out by many players is that it strongly promotes team play. It's damn hard to take down a foe one-on-one. But creating a fire team with teammates to rain lead from two or three positions usually is more than sufficient to take out an enemy.

Maybe I'm just too accustomed to playing Blackout and PUBG solo and need to rewire my brain around team play. Either way, I think TTK needs a small tweak. And I'm still digging this game.
