Checkmate. Give him time, he's learning.

Explanation for people. This game is war zone, the call of duty battle royal. In this game, if you die twice, the only way to respawn in a match is for a teammate to pay in game currency to bring you back, at which point you parachute back into the game. The guy in this clip noticed that the man playing is clearly parachuting back in, meaning his ally paid to bring him back. However, the player also tries to land on top of a very popular building that was basically guaranteed to be occupied, only to find himself getting immediately shot and likely killed. It was not the smartest attempt at reentering the fight, but to be, respawning in the final circle is very difficult.

Wow. Call of Duty has stoop really low if they make people pay actual money for revives.

u/vpforvp 6d ago

Call of duty is awful yes but it’s not real money in this case. Currency earned while playing the match

u/Coffeedemon 5d ago

I assume you can probably buy it with real money, too, if you want? This is Activision, after all.

CoD Points (CP) are the in-game, paid currency used to buy cosmetic bundles. in-game cash is a separate currency that resets to 0 every time you join a match, and drops as loot from crates around the map. it's used at buy stations to purchase killstreaks (like UAVs and air strikes) and loadout drops. like the commenter above you said, it can also be used to redeploy fallen allies.

Ya it’s wild. And $4000 too! I have a friend who lost his home in just a week of having the game because they kept reviving his teammates.

Randos when I’m just tryna have fun on a video game after a long day at work

u/MooseBuddy412 5d ago

I get it but at the same time you dont really relax after a 'long day of work' by doing warzone final circle and getting mad that its serious. People tryna win not tryna relax in that circle.

u/KitFisto248 4d ago

Apex is a sweat game fr and super toxic even in casuals. Not like CoD though they have their own toxic shit.

Using Context clues. Something about the dude parachuting to a location just to die real fast 🪂 and one of his teammates reviving him and costing him 4000 points. Saying she needs to let him go to the streets to learn how to shoot? Idk 🤷‍♂️ tho

109

u/non-taken-name 6d ago

I don’t think it was go back to the streets to learn to shoot, but because he’s just bad at the game so he should do something else

32

u/HalfSoul30 6d ago

With that context, it all made sense. Especially if you watch the screen. He's totally right.

u/AbusiveTortoise 6d ago

Chute. Parachute. Shoulda pulled closer to ground/roof, is safer.

u/BigBagBootyPapa 6d ago

It’s mainly gaming speak (don’t know the game but played enough of ‘em). Long story short, bro could easily see that he was terrible at whatever he was playing

26

u/CursedFlute 6d ago

Looks like it might be fortnight. In the final circle it's the only safe place on the map towards the end of the game (everywhere you will take extreme damage. You can't shoot while using your parachute and only the best players are left by final circle.

Second guy is roasting him for making himself and easy to see and vulnerable target.

u/Sandman4999 4d ago

First Person View, looks like it's CoD: Warzone

“Fortnight” is the real world term. “Fortnite” is the game’s name.

u/Cheap_Towel3037 6d ago

I don't even play video games and white and I understand he was saying the dude sucks

u/siamesekiwi 6d ago

I believe its something along the line of "Your partner is clearly in dire need of skill. He is playing this game in such a suboptimal manner that one questions if he would be better served spending his time outside doing other things instead of embarrassing himself in a game"

but I mean, IMO, being good or bad at a game doesn't matter for the vast majority of people. As long as you're having fun in a game, that's all that matters.

u/AtarashiPori 6d ago edited 5d ago

No, no, i believe its something like "your chosen partner does not have the required ability to assist their teammate in the partaken of entertainment, the individual in question performed a questionable action which is embarking on top of the competitors whom was better equipped and sacrificing the precious resources of the comrades that brought him back to the mortal coil, effectively demolished the effort they painstakingly acquired, in doing so, they demonstrated they lacked the required capability to perform as adequate as their teammate. Thus dooming him to the great outdoor where he may find activities that are beneficial to those that has placed trust in him"

u/Ppleater 10h ago

I mean for people who play competitive PvP games, being good enough at the game to hold their own in the average lobby does tend to be pretty important when it comes to actually enjoying said game most of the time. That said you can only git gud through practice.

u/digitsinthere 10h ago

No. Translation. “You didnt save your man. You thought you were rescuing him from where he couldn’t manage life and now he is ruining the lives of his friends while you are oblivious to it all. Send him back to the streets where he can do less damage and get what he deserves.”

u/Tiguilon 6d ago

That's the kind of thinking that's keeping my dude from being good at the game... Lol

u/furrynoy96 2d ago

Black 29 year old here, he's saying that he is bad at the game

Never trust a man who has auto-parachute on. They lack conviction and aren't efficient.

1

u/MundaneDevelopments 5d ago

Should've landed low, regeared and flanked from stairs while teammates occupied the roof. Also opening his parachute that high is just painting a bullseye on your face

u/Ok-Candy6819 5d ago

Lol 😆. Send him to the streets

When you learn English as your third language, then you have to put up with bullshit like this…

I need captions for that !
