Kibbles n Shits posted:How can you tell what direction you're being shot at from? I've noticed several people saying that if you hear the pop in one or the other ear, the shot is coming from in front of or behind, and if you hear it in both, it's from the left or right. Is there any truth to this or is it just another example of people assuming that features from ArmA are in this game? Generally just take the whizzes as an indicator that I'm being shot at, then listen for the report aka the gunshot itself. I don't have time to be running calculations about what 90 degrees is compared to where I was just looking depending on what ear I heard it in first.

Sounds sound generally like they're coming from the direction they're coming from, for me. I hear footsteps or a pop and it'll sound like it's coming from my left or my right, or behind on one of those sides, and it typically is. I use wireless headphones (Actis 7) but no other special sound gear.

Any of you guys using software to save replays of your gameplay? If so what are you using? I've been trying to use OBS with the Replay Buffer but it only likes to save like a minute of footage when I have it set to the last 10 minutes. Before I tried Geforce Experience but since I use push-to-talk it doesn't offer a way to bind that stuff to mouse and the file sizes it saves tend to be a bit too big. Am I just not using replay buffer correctly or something?

I've started doing this pretty frequently as well, lots of concentrated loot but generally very little traffic. You're close enough to go knock heads in town, it's central so the first circle is usually not a problem, and you get to watch the road to the north and the open field to the south which are both common routes for people to take. And by that I mean it's a horrible place don't ever go there, stay out.

unfortunately i didn't clip it, but i was playing a squad game with two buggies and i rammed into my teammates and flipped over which made me rage out and start shooting out my buggy until I saw them spin around and ram the downed one back which caused it to explode and they went flying. They were fine when they landed.

got so close to a loving chicken dinner today. I found an M249 in an airdrop and murdered several people with it, all the way till there were only two left. I charged for the circle as the blue wall started closing, and was directly across a field from the guy who was also charging for the safe zone. I saw him first, put a couple of rounds into him, but I didn't let off the trigger and my m249 jumped around just enough to miss the guy. Then the guy finally killed me. God drat it.

went back and played a little BF1 after having exclusively played pubg for a while and man, it is light years smoother...hope they eventually get to that level of quality here. never thought i'd say that a battlefield game comparatively good gunplay and i know it's apples and oranges but i'd say pubg has a while to go before they can jack up the price point. also, i think playing this game has made me better at that game, because it's made me value an individual spawn so much more than before.

So right before my first solo win I went to this site: http://www.144hzmonitors.com/games/best-settings-for-pubg-playerunknowns-battlegrounds/ And did all the things it said to do to improve my game except the ini stuff. My game was noticeably smoother and I really think that contributed to my win.

What's wrong with Shadowplay? It's been good to me, personally, when it comes to recording video. If plays.tv is capable of only recording game audio and not any other sound (Podcasts/music) i'm playing I'd switch to it in an instant.

It's really straightforward and the only way I can figure people can't tell is if they don't use alt or use speakers jubjub64 posted:First one!

Someone needs to fix the bullet collision on those wooden beams in the middle of windows. Nothing like being trapped in a shack you can't shoot out of while everyone is free to shoot in at you.

Roki B posted:The looting system seems strange. My team and I usually drop, loot, find a few rifles some basic optics and sidearms and then.... Yes you're correct that low risk looting and then waiting in the hills for someone to maybe come by and for the circle to maybe close in you is a suboptimal strategy. This game has weird mechanics that have lulled bads in to thinking that hiding and playing super risk averse is good because it leads to consistently OK results. But they are just that, only OK to mediocre results. You could literally never shoot your gun and probably make it to the top 25% super consistently but you will almost always get owned at the end by the dudes who have been aggressively pushing most of the match and taking strong positions/other nerds loot. It's also way more fun to push on dudes and try to be the aggressor than it is hoping you get lucky waiting waiting for rounds that you get a strong position due to RNG.

I usually go for a middling ground where we push local loot spots then go hidey hole. Anyway game is fun and I want bipods.

If plays.tv is capable of only recording game audio and not any other sound (Podcasts/music) i'm playing I'd switch to it in an instant. It's really finicky on some games, BF1 for a while gave it problems because of the menu resolution being just long enough to screw up the works. In this game a couple friends I know stopped using it because it was causing random freezing. YMMV of course.

Add me to the chicken club!  Final circle just happened to be in this building. There was a guy on the top floor already but I got him with a grenade from below that reaaaaly should not have killed him, seeing as how from my perspective, it bounced harmlessly off the wall. But i'll take it!

I still haven't bothered to get my solo chicken dinner, closest I've gotten is second and I only lost that one because it was me with an ump and an uzi vs a dude with an M24 from 250m  Every single person I killed that round had shotguns and other poo poo loot and I killed six dudes

So if you know your going to end up in a field in the last few rounds get a vehicle of some sorts and park it right at the edge of the circle each time, you'll have the luxury of mobile hard cover that you can knee behind and see other people laying down in the grass

Every time somebody tries that poo poo with me I just dump a few mags into the engine block and they get killed by the explosion.
