That's nice and all but couldn't they just let you use the micro-uzi as a pistol? All of these new guns are nice, but largely ignorable. Obviously it's not the same team, but goddamn you'd think they could fix stuff that actually matters instead of adding bad guns and then nerfing said bad guns.

You asked and answered your own question literally in the same sentence.

Hey all! I just got this game a week ago and I'm having a blast.

First kill that I ever got was my second match ever where I got a jeep and was driving down a hill were I saw a good hiding spot to set up an ambush so I got out of the car and let it slowly roll down the hill while I set up in my hiding place. Sure enough, someone ran at the car guns blazing and I shot him in the back.

I've been constantly getting into the 20s and have yet to win but I'll get there.

I'd better be able to put a vertical foregrip on it.

The only way this would be interesting is if they had it as select fire, otherwise why bother.

Placing the micro uzi in the handgun slot would make it the only weapon of choice there, just like the pan is the only good choice for the melee slot.

i actually think that they should get rid of carrying two big guns all together and do only one primary/pistol and then pistols might actually matter

It's an interesting idea, and a massive nerf to snipers, but would be fun to try out if possible on custom games, one issue I see though is that shotguns become near worthless.

Shotguns are sorta near worthless as it is. We started switching to Vectors/UMPs as secondaries if we didn't have a sniper rifle and well it works out.

The thing that would be interesting is if they added shotgun revolvers (lol the Judge) or a mare's leg shotgun/sawn off side-by.

I think I solved the mystery of not being able to switch to auto sometimes. You have to be holding the gun in your hands. Sometimes the gun looks selected, but you might not be wielding it, for example if it gets put away when running. Took me way too long to figure out why it wasn't switching for me in my last match.

You press X (default) to holster your gun. It shouldn't "just happen". The silhouette of the gun will be faded out when it is holstered. You may also notice that your character no longer has a gun in their hands!

I love closing doors and placing crappy loot on the floor to set traps for players.

Just got 3 kills that way by hiding under the stairs with a shotgun and re closing all the doors in the house I was hiding in.

I discovered yesterday, and by discovered I meant learnt in the harshest manner possible vis a vis buckshot, that if you leave the doors open in a compound, and hide in a multistory building, some dumb fucker (hi) will be along to check if there's anything that got passed over, assuming people will reclose doors if they're staying there. I've since used it to really just depressing effect.

A choked shotgun is currently extremely strong and at least as-good-as the SMG's other than the extended mag vector. I think it's because a shotgun puts em down in one shot wheras the SMG's give them a chance for the lucky flick into the dome. The SMG's (in particular the UMP) are extremely good as well as an AR substitute though so tbh all those guns are pretty well balanced. I also think being able to carry two big guns works fine.

Really I think the guns just need more variety in the vein of the crossbow or VSS - weapons that change the way you play, not just the sound they make when they fire. Also additional attachments that do the same - imagine a bipod attachments for sniper rifles or the AR's, that'd be sick.

New terrible players like me are bad about not looking at their own model and comprehending it with everything else that is going on. We just see the gun icon that is the right shape. Just a learning moment. I have less than 10 hours played and havent played other games like it.

The bipod elevates you to see out of grass better when prone. Sounds wicked.

Yup! Single shot kill + this games netcode means shotgun is always king for close range building combat. You can kill people before they even have a chance to shoot back if you use third person or know where they are.

Does this game show any signs that of the devs fading out after they got their sweet early access money like pretty much every iteration of this genre has seen? Or is it too early to tell? I haven't kept up with these types of games very much since when dayz was just a mod, but this game is fun to watch.

This game is so, so fun but I have no loving clue how people seemingly one-shot headshot me seemingly from the hip when I can't kill someone from point blank range with any friggin gun I've tried.

Oh well, at least doing sick car stunts is fun, and getting to run people down is just a bonus.

PUBG is, right now, in it's current state, a fully working and complete game that is worth at least the 30 bucks they are charging for it. They could release it tomorrow, never update it again and it would still be an extremely good game that people will be playing for a long time into the foreseeable future.

If you're on the fence honest to god you're missing out on the best multiplayer game since CSGO and that is said without a trace of sarcasm.

If you want to play the I-didn't-know-this-was-a-hippo-bar game with me, that's fine.
Man, we killed three out of a four man squad last night, and my dudes were all running down to take a house and get us somewhere to hunker and wait for the circle while I provided cover with a 4x SCAR. I'm always amazed at how good bushes are at hiding dudes, because I absolute could not see this dude until he creeped back a bit to get better cover from my dudes. Fortunately I was able to light him up before he could do anything, but my dudes were like 10 ft from his position and were popping off in voice chat asking what the gently caress I was firing at.

The original plan was to finish development within 6 months of EA release.

I'm not really sure what needs to be done, except optimize performance and net code. Well, I guess the vaulting system, and adding more pointless items.
