    Take your console streaming to a whole new level!

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Level up your Xbox & PlayStation streams with our Partner Lightstream

    For all of you out there looking to have all the cool overlays and alerts but only have your console, let me tell you about how Lightstream makes that happen

    Level up your Xbox & PlayStation streams with our Partner Lightstream. 
    For all of you out there looking to have all the cool overlays and alerts but only have your console, let me tell you about how Lightstream makes that happen. We started our partnership with Lightstream a few months ago after a member of Sky Fox Studios told me about it. We were looking for a solution where we could take several streamers and combine them into a single feed into our Twitch Channel. 
    The Creator License was the solution for us, up to 4 streamers on a single screen and we were golden, but I had no idea the Gamer License was the true gold. I wish we had this solution before. 
    I have streamed from my PlayStation many times but opted to switch to a capture card and bought a powerful PC for the Studio to drive our full array of overlays for our broadcasts. Not all gamers have that option. If you are just starting out or already on your way to partner and full time streaming this product is your solution.
     
    While available for Xbox, I want to focus on the value using Lightstream add to PlayStation. One of our biggest benefits in the PS ecosystem is their promotion of live streams that originate from the share button. You will find when you are looking at the latest info about a game a section showing who is live streaming or has shared a video. This is free exposure that streamers connecting using a capture device do not get. Without overlays and alerts you will not stand out in the pack, everyone has the standard game play with only the option to add your camera. None of the amazing tools that help you engage your viewers or acknowledge new followers, subs, etc.
    There are a few different options for creating your overlays including StreamLabs, Streamelements and Rainmaker.gg (which is part of the Lightstream family). If you want to know more or need some help let us know, we are happy to get your stream up to speed the way you want it.
    As far as setup, there are some great guides for Lightstream: https://golightstream.kustomer.help/

    Sniper Elite 5 Review

    Teaser Paragraph:

    Sniper Elite 5 is a breath of fresh air in the shooter world. This 3rd person shooter continues its WWII with large maps for campaign, multiplayer and a new invasion mode.

    I have spent the last couple of days playing some campaign and multiplayer matches, but what has really had me locked in is the new invasion mode. Basically when you are playing your campaign and you have not disabled the ability to be invaded, an opponent will drop into your campaign with the single goal of killing you and your teammate if you are playing coop. Both you and the invader will have enhanced skills added revolving around finding each other and it is quite balanced.
     
      Even during my stream you will find that as the invader you are not just dropping in to get an easy kill. You have to work for it for sure! You will start somewhere in the map, it may be right into the action or you might be halfway across the map. Either way you are going to have to do a little searching to find your target to take them out. I found that the best way to find your target is follow the trail of bodies. Once disadvantage I had was not having completed the campaign, I did not know the path progression on some of the maps, meaning the route the campaign would take the player. If you have completed the campaign, you will have an advantage because you will be able to anticipate the direction your target will be coming from.
    Now with that being said there are a few features to note, you cannot just pick a spot and camp. If you sit still too long you will get a warning that you are camping and if you do not move, your location will be reviled to your opponent. Through out the maps you will find phones that you can pick up and get your opponent's last location. Do not depend on this as a pinpoint, but more as a guide. It is not a fluid tracker, it is a point on the map with a timer showing the last time seen at that location. If your opponent is moving through the map quickly, you will find yourself chasing them with the phones which have a 4 minute cooldown.
    You can also use your fellow soldiers (NPCs) to help notify you when they have found the player. Each NPC has a status of not alerted, searching and alerted. Pay attention to the direction they are running or facing, this can indicate the direction to go to find your target. I will say when the alarm has been set off, unless there is a fire fight going on, you only benefit on finding the general area the opponent is in.
    Once you have finally tracked down your target, the same rules apply for all snipers, your scope will give you away! Close combat will get you a chance at melee or a good pistol shot to the head. If your opponents are playing coop, you have to eliminate both, but the second player only has a couple of minutes to find you before they loose the round.
    Finally do not take injuring your target as an easy follow up kill, you and your opponent are able to self heal and return to battle. If you are quick enough you can however run up on your target and get a satisfying melee as final action on your target.
    Now lets talk a bit about multiplayer, there are a few different modes to choose from including free for all, team match, squad match and no cross. To be honest I spent all of my time playing no cross in multiplayer to get a feel for the game at a slower pace. It truly a no cross map, there is no way to get to the other side physically if you try. While I can be a pretty good sniper, you have to be extremely strategic when you are looking for opponents. Using your scope will give up your location with a bright reflection that your opponent can see from space. So I spent most of the time using my binoculars to find my targets. Even better if you are marking your opponents, other shooters can kill them getting you the assist.
    My BIGGEST complaint for multiplayer is the lack of maps. In team match, squad match and free for all, you have 4 maps to choose from, but in no cross there are only 2 maps... come on Rebellion we need more maps, after a few hours, the no cross matches become very stale!
    With that out of the way, I am very happy to see a kind of lobby system for multiplayer. You cannot edit the title of the room it is based on your gamer id, but you can create private or public matches and you can even provide invite codes to get everyone in the right match together for competitive play.
    The customization for game rules is almost endless with the exception of the lack of turning off respawn. it has already been suggested to the dev team to add that as an option. But there is a wide variety of presets as well as the ability to completely customize your match.
    We are defiantly going to start working on some tournaments for this game very soon and look forward to seeing what we can do with this game, stay tuned!

    Sponsor Spotlight - Rogue Energy

    When looking for partners for Urgent Fury, we try to find unique opportunities. The gaming industry is flooded with Energy Drinks and we have even talked with some of them. At some point I stumbled on Rogue Energy and thought, ohh look another energy drink. Well boy was I wrong! I started doing a little research and found that while yes they are a gaming drink that provides energy and focus, it replaced all of the unhealthy junk out there and replaced it with good stuff.
    So what did I do first? I ordered a Starter Kit to check it out. Now it came with a bunch of packets and I not being one to try this alone, I decided my day job co-workers would be perfect test subjects .
    So we all took a different flavor and "gave it a shake", ha I made a Funny. The fellas at work were surprised that the flavor was exactly what they picked. No off taste to it or aftertaste which was a big deal.
    I went for the Strawberry Kiwi as it seemed to be the flavor that I would like out of the Starter pack and enjoyed the heck out of it. The taste was great, no powdery feel to the drink like you get with some of the cheap water flavor packs out there and no aftertaste. Most of you know that I basically bleed Dr. Pepper, so for me to enjoy a drink that is not DP says a lot.
    Now my next order will actually be the Cherry Limeaid. That is one of the few drinks I can really enjoy when I am not slamming down the DP. 
    So with that being said we joined the Partner program to pass on some saving to you guys and gals out there in our community. When you go to the Rogue Energy Website, you can use the coupon code "urgentfury" and save 10% off of your order. To be transparent we do get a little kick back from their sales when you do use the coupon, which does help keep the community going. So we save you money and we get a reward in return, that's a Win - Win for everyone.
    If you are one of those that lives off energy drinks, head over to Rogue Energy and give it a try, go to https://urgentfury.link/rogue today!

      Welcome to our first blog post from Urgent Fury headquarters. We are going to use this blog to keep the community informed on what we are working on here. We will occasionally post up some reviews or opinion pieces but mainly it will be Urgent Fury updates.
      When Urgent Fury started back in the Socom days, it was an exclusive invite only community. First you had to run into and play with a clan that was already a member and then you would be invited to go through a selection process called Hell Week.
      The landscape changed over the years and instead of an exclusive community, we made it a bit easier to be a part of the community. However to this day the Scenario based TacMap events continue to be by invitation only. There are several reasons for this including limited entries and clans will invest their time and attention into them knowing they are part of an event with such limited access.
      The brain child of original creators @TOW-19 and @SNIPER the Scenario Based TacMap Tournament took clan battles and leagues to a new experience. Suddenly you found your clan having to decide which clan was the best to attack and prepare for defending.
      Our last TacMap was POW II for Black Ops II, the second iteration of Prisoners of War adding another layer on top of the TacMap. Not only did you attack and defend, if certain parameters were met in a match, you could capture a POW from your opponent and take them out of the event.
      Every TacMap Tournament is unique to the game and story. The maps and modes each have a purpose, there are unique twists and turns in each event.
      Our next TacMap in development will be for America's Army Proving Grounds on PlayStation 4. In November we started our selection league called Urgent Fury Boot Camp. While our first season only garnered 9 clans, Season 2 has proven to us that there is a  competitive community strong enough to sustain a 13 week TacMap.
      Yes 13 weeks, and in reality they have gone much longer than that. We proudly share our experience in a TacMap that had to be ended after over 30 weeks because we could not be eliminated out of our last territory. The staff tried everything, the other two clans tried everything, but we would not give up. So the stalemate formula was added to bring the event to an end and finding the final champion.
      What will the next TacMap have in store? You will just have to wait and see... We will be announcing very soon and remember TacMaps are an invitational only event. To be considered you must have completed a Season of UF Boot Camp with out withdrawing or being removed. Winners of each Season are guaranteed entry as long as they live up to our motto "Win with Honor, Lose with Dignity".

      As a community we have been stale for many years because there has not been a game that felt like Socom for us to gravitate to. Honestly most of our original community members are now parents of graduates and even grandparents, can you believe how long we have all been playing together?
      While there is still no true replacement to Socom, for the last 2 weeks I have been playing Sniper Elite 5 multiplayer, and believe it or not... it is really fun. With my work schedule and how Covid affected us all, I have missed having a game that made me feel like this much less get me playing 4 to 8 hours. Even the other night I found myself doing the "Just One More Game!"
      As I wrote in my review article, the game is lacking in maps for sure, but the feeling I get playing especially with friends is so reminiscence of so many nights playing with clanmates and friends. I mean wholly smokes I played almost 30 hours last weekend alone.
      We are going to work on putting together some leagues, we understand that the map count is extremely low right now, but hopefully that changes pretty soon. We will focus on No Cross and Team Deathmatch, I really do not see us using Squad Mode for a tournament.
      I invite everyone to come join me when I am playing... we will start doing community nights on Saturday Nights live on Twitch as we start building the community base around the game. For all of our veteran members, go out and pick up the game. I hope it invokes the feeling for you guys like it does for me!
