Shroud explains how Respawn could improve \u201cterrible\u201d Apex Legends LTMs Playing Apex Legends for the first time since the launch of the Holo-Day Bash Christmas event, superstar streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek shared negative opinions about Respawn Entertainment\u2019s Limited Time Modes and outlined how those modes could be considerably improved. Unlike earlier in 2019, when he was streaming Apex Legends most of the time, shroud hadn\u2019t been on the popular battle royale game for a few weeks, and instead focused on Escape from Tarkov and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, a day after saying that the game \u201cdoesn\u2019t sound appealing,\u201d the former CSGO pro decided to test the Apex waters again and experience the new Holo-Day Bash in-game event for the very first time. Of course, part of that event is the new Winter Express LTM, which was the first thing he jumped into, even though he said \u201cthis sounds awful\u201d when reading the description. That was a foreshadowing of things to come, as it\u2019s safe to say the Mixer star did not enjoy the new mode at all. \u201cOk this is a game mode that I\u2019m not going to play after this,\u201d he said firmly. \u201cThis game mode seems questionable. This is going to be a one and done for sure. This game mode\u2019s\u2026 something. I feel like they could have thought of a much more festive game mode than this.\u201d Shroud says Apex\u2019s LTMs \u201cneed work\u201d As it turns out, shroud\u2019s opinion on Winter Express is actually a microcosm of how he feels about Apex Legends Limited Time Modes overall. \u201cYeah their LTMs need work,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir LTMs aren\u2019t that great. So far, their LTMs have been just like \u2013 you play one round of it to see what it is and then you\u2019re like \u2018alright, this is dumb,\u2019 and then you start playing it.\u201d \u201cLTMs are hard though, it\u2019s hard to perfect LTMs,\u201d he went on. \u201cSolos and Duos are probably their best LTMs. Their Halloween LTM was terrible, this Christmas one is pretty bad.\u201d (Segment begins at 4:10 mark for mobile users) How shroud would improve Apex\u2019s LTMs Shroud went on to brainstorm some of the ways that Respawn Entertainment can improve their Limited Time Modes, the process starting with a change in the approach. \u201cI think how they should do their LTMs is completely change the game,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think they\u2019re trying too much to stay as Apex in their LTM. What they need to do is turn it into a different game, not Apex with a different goal. It should be something completely different.\u201d He even went as far as to even make one up on the spot, giving an example of the kinds of avenues that the developers should pursue with future modes. \u201cSo here\u2019s an example \u2013 you know what would be a good LTM?\u201d he offered. \u201cTake Apex\u2019s movement and turn it into a death-run. Done. It\u2019s like a race \u2013 first person to get past the death-run, RNG, f**king crazy sh*t\u2019s going on, first person to get through the death-run wins\u201d There\u2019s no doubt a lot of players would agree with shroud\u2019s remark about the Solos and Duos LTMs being best, with those two playlists the player-base\u2019s most requested feature, and the most well-received once Respawn obliged players\u2019 requests However, a lot of them have also taken a liking to this new Winter Express LTM as well, some even suggesting that its success proves Apex needs a permanent close-quarters combat mode. That said, shroud usually knows what he\u2019s talking about when sharing suggestions about games, so it might server Respawn well to heed his advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
