It's May 29th 2025. The playtesting of the Guadalcanal has just been opened.
Log in and join the testing server.
Spawn into main just as the match begins.
Start to enter into the dense jungle behind the Squad leader, getting into position to attack the first point and series of search and destroy objectives.
Looking around, damn this really atmospheric, they did a great job of creating a jungle.
Bushes rustling and leaves crunching, light fog of hot humid air (think I'm even starting to sweat here).
Then nearing point.

There's this loud vibrating echoing throughout the jungle.
And then your frames start to drop.
Someone has just thrown the Super Weapon.

00:00 Leaves crunch and branches break, Japanese forces stomp through the jungle to the first point
00:52 Starting the attack on the first point
01:11 OH GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING
01:34 The Super Weapon as it came to be known
01:58 Or the loathsome FRAME KILLER
02:42 It got so bad people were telling others to stop using the grenades
03:15 Pretty much everyone became quickly aware of this wonderful bug (and how could you not)
03:42 Worst thing is, your FPS may not recover after it
03:52 But hey, at least you can still aim at least
04:10 And the jungle environment and atmosphere are really well done
04:20 So I continue on playing
04:57 As mad individuals choose to willingly deploy the Superweapon
06:20 Till eventually you just reach a breaking point
06:30 That you quit
06:40 And rejoin
06:52 Back in the jungle and with a much healthier FPS
07:10 Crazed deprived individuals still choose to use that damn grenade
07:32 But hey my FPS managed to recover somewhat
08:08 Making an assault to get the last objectives
08:27 Oh god thats a big one
08:48 Later into the match, frames are still holding strong
09:28 With point secured, Squad lead wants to mop up in the jungle behind us
09:53 Contact
10:05 Oh please don't... I'm beggin... I'm PLEADING
10:23 And what does he have to say for himself
10:52 All in all, a pretty swell playtest I'd say
