The upside to stuttering is that it's very easy to tell if a lot of players are landing near me.

LMAO at anyone defending the ability to completely turn off shadows, it's obviously a gameplay advantage and wasn't gonna stay in for long.

gently caress I run this game on a 1440p freesync monitor with a RX480 and I stay at ~90 ish frames for most of the game, performance is fine/good for an alpha game with 100 clients connected to a server. It's only gonna get better from here as they approach beta/release.

There are pretty common complaints about Munker, the #1 player on NA Squads, along with some rather suspicious gifs. There's some cheaters for sure but it doesn't seem to be overwhelmed with them.

Some of it can be attributed to game bugs though, like buildings not rendering or the weird one where people inside vehicles will float in the air randomly.

They should add a Katana as a melee weapon.

It can only be found in bedrooms mounted on a display stand on the wall. Next to anime and kill bill posters.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU

Harry Potter on Ice posted:

I'm so garbage at squads compared to duo and solo. Optimal squad play seems so slow and rigid. Solo/duo is all about pretending you're mel gibson from the patriot

That's funny, I feel exactly the opposite. I find solo much more slow and methodical since player position is much more dispersed. It's definitely easier. Squad and duo I find you can be way more aggressive because you can make more assumptions about other players positions + you have other dudes to help watch your back and cover/assist your push.

Weird end to a round today. It was the top 10, I was camping out in the last compound still in the zone, and the next circle was in the middle of a field. I thought I'd be cute and wait until the last second to leave, hopefully sniping a couple other players I thought were in the buildings with me as they ran out. As it turned out, there were about 5 other people in the compound and we all had the same idea. We all killed each other in about 15 seconds.

pew pew pew


I stole a UAZ from some guy who had better position and better guns than me in the final 20. Rolled it backwards down a hill and did a sick brake-slide to get away while he was left to run to the rather far circle.

Drove for a little bit, crested a hill and saw another player duck behind a tree. Still far from the circle, decided to keep going and find a spot to ambush him when he was forced into me.

As I rolled down the other side of the hill, into a wide open field with only a small rock that was definitely not in the new safezone, the jeep ran out of gas.

Grand Theft Auto: PUBG. We drop at the power substation with another 3 man group. we are way outside the circle looking for cars, they find a UAZ and flee going to the power station to keep looting further from the circle. We book over to the power station, steal their ride and get safely back in the circle while they likely died to the blue wall

You're dangerous! What mode was this, have a replay? You ruined 15% of the people playing's game :D

This was solo. No replay but I landed in military, picked up a double-barrel to get the first two kills. Looted SCAR and Kar98 and 4x scope, went up on the hill overlooking military and picked up 1 more kill. Then I got to a boat, crossed over and picked up 3-4 Kar98 kills midgame. Got an 8x scope and a suppressor for it and absolutely wrecked the final 10 which was in one of the orange corn fields where everyone prones.

Despite what safety advocates say, there's no such thing as an accidental kill with a pistol. We dropped on school and I was in the floor right under you! I was the first dead in the game!

It'll only drop crates in white zones, but sometimes the server can be so laggy that by the time it lands the blue has already passed over it.
