I have been playing Apex Legends with Shmuh and others.
It's all the rage in the Twitch community as well as the Battle Royal community. Everyone is jumping ship from Call of Duty, PUBG and Fortnite to go to this new, fresh take on the genre.
The game is Free-to-Play and is a 3 person squad type game, with 60 people dropping in a small map all blah blah battle royal. The new gimmick is that there are 8 heros to choose from at the start of each round, with a randomized order of who gets to choose first, with the last person choosing being delegated as the Jump Master.

These heros all have a passive ability, a regular quick ability that goes on cooldown and an ultimate ability that generates from damage/over-time.
The symbol in front of Swedypig is the jumpmaster symbol. When the game starts and the team drops, the two players are attached to the jumpmaster, who chooses where to go. You can still break off solo, which is recommended when you near the ground when sticking together, but it is incredibly advisable to stick with your team, since this is not PUBG. Even if you don't want to talk to your team, there is a feature that lets you mark, or "ping" items or locations and your hero will say a voice line corresponding to what you're looking at. While I thought this would have been a horrible feature in PUBG, I see now how crazy. Hell, if you killed an entire squad and you're not sure of it, your hero even remarks "wow, took out the whole squad!".
The game moves too fast to try to solo the game. Healing is faster, reviving is faster, movement is faster, in general everything is faster in this game than previous incarnations of BRs. In my opinion, this is what makes the game the strongest. The movement in this game is so fast that you can constantly push people, so hiding in a corner is highly discouraged, making every round extremely engaging and exciting. Since this game has already picked up extreme momentum in popularity, there are already contrarians which is incredibly pathetic. This is a gem in the rough and would recommend to anyone.
