If you're syncing with friends, you're gonna be using a third party comm. I refuse to believe someone is that dumb and lazy. It defeats the entire purpose.

Player Unknown has already said in interviews that it will be much easier to catch people teaming up consistently once the replay system is in place, at which time repeat offenders will be banned.

I'm sure it will be rigorously enforced after a few token bans just to show they're "doing something".

Regardless I said my piece on the subject. It's ok that we disagree over this since everyone has their own idea of fun.

Yes, I hate when that happens.

It's doubly annoying because if you're in the "third person hold RMB" aim mode you get the red sign showing you that your bullet will hit the obstacle but when you're aiming down sights there's no indication at all. Just keep it consistent and draw the red X somewhere on the screen if the show is actually impossible to make or something.

Your stupidity is impossible to police. People grouping organically in solo games are such an outlier that it's not even worth considering. If people clearly cooperate in solo games, it's because they've queued together and are on third party voice coms, obviously. It was a big problem in the A3 mod that preceded the game, and PLAYERUNKNOWN came down hard on it there, and I'm glad he'll do it here too. If you want to duo, play duo.

Which FPS do you think is the most similar to train aim for PUBG? Originally I thought that CS:GO was a good idea, but I've found that CS:GO is not a great deal since most of my friends who reached Global Elite, really suck in this game.

PLAYERUNKNOWN's: Battlegrounds is pretty good for this.

I'm all for letting people play a fun game the way they enjoy playing it, but if someone looks at the queue options and thinks "Solo mode eh, we should play that and then form a team against the solo people" then yeah, nah.

If someone wants to play solo in squads or duos, then that's cool because they're making a choice to put themselves in a harder situation. Forcing solo players to go up against your multiple-person murder squad straight up sucks.

Once again, playing regular PUBG is the best way to practice PUBG.

Aiming in a range or any controlled environment (or in a completely different game engine which has nothing to do with PUBG lol) is a very sterile way to look at how to get better, since that's only one aspect of the game. Instead, you can learn to aim in a regular match where you need not only aim but positioning, learning regions of the map, being mindful of looting and your resources, being shot at unexpectedly in the middle of a fight, and hundreds of other factors.

Learn by doing, just play.

Again, I don't care about dying. I care about the quality of the time spent practicing, of which in-game provides a poor return on time invested.

Alright, well I don't think playing a game I enjoy is "practicing" anything really, but I guess I don't expect to put my name in for the PUBG Amateur Draft or whatever the endgame here is.

It's not that weird to want a setting where you can just keep fighting, 30 minutes in a deathmatch server would give you the amount of gunfighting you get in what, like, a dozen games of the main mode? Boiling it down to return on investment and PEAK PERFORMANCE does sound silly but it would be nice to have more experience to draw on during those final 10 situations, you guys, why are you upset about this, please calm down

Like in Overwatch people say "shoot ana bots in headshot only mode, it's kinda helpful!" and in counter-strike people say "play arms race to get a handle on recoil patterns" and nobody's like "lol are you trying to go pro, nerd"

WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.
So on the PUBG twitch stream, they've announced official support for a zombie mode, which comes with different textures and animations for the zombies. I don't really know how this mode is supposed to operate without a streamer-like cult of personality around it though.
Because when I saw one of those guys do it a few weeks ago it seemed like 5 or so players having a great time and 95 players existing to enable that.

e: And can we just lol at the guy with his graphs and just move on? I doubt anyone here is going to convince him that it's not a grave and disgusting injustice that should be addressed by the world's governments, so the conversation is boring. Post more chicken dinners.

Shooting tips:

-only use full auto if you're in a situation where 3rd person spraying is what you want to do
-your bullets are faster than you think so don't lead people by too much
-use map to dial in optics, the lightest gridlines are 100 meter intervals

I'm not really sure why you would go to another game to practice PUBG, even if you don't like the current in game options. I mean i would suggest you just drop on military/school over and over and over and over to practice, but if that's not good enough maybe just wait until a practice range mode is added? I mean this is still in Alpha, I wouldn't go running for another game to practice with just yet.

This'll work fine if custom games remain a thing for streamers

We will never get a firing range and this game will die when they add zombies, crafting, berry gathering and Dr Disrepect Dacia paintjobs. This is the only true path for battle royale games.
