I think PG/MS hoped Eliminator would take off more than it has, maybe even eventually becoming it’s own entity similar to Warzone with COD and it just hasn’t happened so their attention is elsewhere, for now anyway.
If that is what they were aiming for then they missed a shot at having something grow like that 10+ years ago, car football was in FM4 and then never seen again, a certain other game that came along afterwards doing basically that has done alright for itself hasn’t it?
I’ve only played Eliminator for the Playlist after doing all the accolades early game but I got bored with it a lot quicker than in FH4, support wise I think like I said at the start it not being as popular as hoped + the same as many other things with FH5 the state of the game at release has just pushed it off to the side.
If they don’t change/add anything to it the fans of the mode are well within reason to feel aggrieved, unlike in FH4 where it was just a late addition (and still received some support by the way) the Eliminator is a base game mode this time around, if it reaches the 1 year anniversary in a few months with no proper changes it’s poor from PG.
Of course i’ve won that many but I havent played it in almost 3 months. I’m not certain but I’m confident I still have the most wins in FH4. 2323 victories!
one of the other interesting points about his stats is the number of drops vs eliminations. i have about half the number of games played as him, but twice the number of eliminations. i also have about 3x less drops than him.
so i suspect all he does is hunt for big time drops and avoids h2hs at all costs to avoid being eliminated. obvs a good strategy, cause once he makes the final, he wins 85% of the time statistically
Today i got to a session with 64 players in total which is the highest i have ever seen. Usually there are 40-50 players in each session. Surely not abandoned!
I just did the ‘eliminator challenge’ on the playlist, I started a session and it spawned me into a session with 32 players, I literally parked my buggie on the highway and did the odd series of donuts, waiting to get challenged.,.
finally at 18 left, someone honked and I was eliminated moments later with easy playlist points…lol
Max is 72 players and I have been in a few early on that had the max amount of players. High player count games are fun especially if you can eliminate like a dozen of em before the final showdown .
