I like how this game lends itself to War Stories. The last game to do it so well was the first Planetside or maybe EVE. I've been feeling burnt out on games in general lately and PUBG reminds me why I started up with the loving things to begin with.

In theory yes, but the m24 is garbage. There is some sort of delay on it when you pull the trigger and the projectile seems to drop more than an AR. Just feels bad all around to me.

That being said it feels more like a BF4 sniper rifle than the rest of the rifles in this game

The thing that sorta prevents longer range sniping (300+) is the foliage while prone blocking your screen, the usual lack of higher mag optics (seriously, going through games with 2x only a lot of the time now), and just the utter lack of spaces wide open enough (there's plains with no high points, or where there's hills there's always more hills blocking off sightlanes) to take advantage of it ala Arma. You can zero up to 1,000 but the only way I'd think you could get more than 400 is by shooting people crossing to and from the bottom island in the water.

Also, game totally needs binoculars.

SM4 should no longer be used as of two patches ago, it now causes extreme frame hitching in most cases. The memalloc option never did anything whatsoever, that's a launch option for arma's engine, not unreal. Use all cores is the only option in there that might do anything beneficial.

I feel like the sm4 is bull to stop people from using it, I have no problems and the streamers don't seem to have a problem with it either.

I did this yesterday, too. Got 2nd place in Squad, I had 6 kills and they were all terrible shots and horrible at spotting. One thing that might play into this is, Europeans, in general, have worse computer hardware than us due to distribution channels and taxing.

In all seriousness though, the first few games you play in a different region will have you playing with people who are new to the game and/or really bad, simply because of the way the rating and matchmaking systems work. You guys are boasting about the PUBG equivalent of beating level 5 summoners in LoL or stomping semi-pros in Rocket League.

Having played on both servers quite extensively, I can conclusively say EU is a lot more skilled than NA - as usual.

I know the devs have made lots of comments on their commitment to content, modes, weapons, improvements etc but is there a roadmap, trello, or priority list anywhere? Just curious to see when FPP only servers are slated.

Check the dev blogs and the forums. I know they're confirming first person but from what I've read it's definitely not a high priority. Same goes for a new map; on the list, not as high a priority as bug fixing, balancing, and pipeline rollout.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
I had some fun games yesterday including one where i was racing to the circle ahead of the blue line in a buggy when a motorcycle came up behind me. Swapped to the bucket seat and lit him up then went back to driving.

I wish they would add a kill cam for solo at least. I was sneaking up on a crate and was hiding behind a big rock when i got shot at and no matter what side of the rock i hid behind i could still be plinked. From the sound it had to be the same guy but no idda how he had vision on every side of the rock from distance.

And the one time i made it to a crate i got a m24 suppressor and 8x scope but then thr circle shrank to the other side of a coverless valley. Rip. Still managed a few kills with it and was really fun i wish i could find kar/sks/whatever more often in the wild.


Is the 2 shot shotgun better than the pump?

Chard
Aug 24, 2010




Were gas cans more useful in an older patch? It seems like every vehicle starts with a full tank and even holding down the turbo across the whole map I still had enough fuel to not worry about running out. Right now they just seem like a big mostly-useless block to hold in your inventory.


e: Didn't know you could switch seats without getting out, that's an extremely useful tip

Yeah, I think right now all their work is going into improving performance and fixing the desync stuff. Once that's done I imagine they can start on actual new content because the game will be pretty much feature complete.

E: I really prefer the double barrel shotgun over the pump-action, but if you don't kill them in those two shots then you're hosed. The S12K is by far the best short range weapon, but it really sucks beyond like 15 metres.

Ranked = Counts against your tracked stats

What he's saying is the game doesn't match people by their ranks, which is true. It just fills servers.

IF IM NOT BITCHING ABOUT HOW SHITTY MY LIFE IS, REPORT ME FOR MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HIJACKED
I had a beautiful moment yesterday in squads: I landed a little ways off from my 3 friends and raced a 4 some to the only nearby house.. beat them to the pistol inside but only got one clip as they got the other box. I fired several times at them (killing no one) as they started wailing on me with their fists, panicked with 25% hp and started running away thinking they would eventually give up.

They didn't, and chased me until we passed another house a few minutes later where one peeled off and must have found a buggy. I ran a few minutes more towards my friends until they caught me and beat me to death. It was great

It does match based on skill, at least in some way. Watch some of the streamers that win more often. Their lobbies often take several minutes to fill up compared to seconds, and games sometimes don't even get to 80-90 players before the match starts. Difference in play/coordination is also noticeable, as well as them coming across the same people repeatedly.

This makes no appreciable difference to most people, since 100 players is a lot and there are so many people playing, so unless you're way to one side of the bell curve the effective skill variance is still going to be very high.
Also probably more noticeable in squads since team coordination can mitigate rng and its more obvious to tell a coordinated squad from me and a few friends walking in semi-random directions.
