#2 isn't ALWAYS bad...

Had a great sniper spot set up for the last 10 kills, had a decent ammo load, was ready to shoot for last man standing... And a crate landed three feet from me, with basically all ten people left running for it.

Someone tell me how to efficiently loot the georgopol shipping container area because I never loving find poo poo for loot there but all my friends swear by it so I'm probably doing something wrong but they sure as gently caress can't seem to explain it.

So I was on the rear end-end of the map on foot with the zone on the other side, and the ring closing in. There was no way I would make it without a vehicle. I see some guy driving a jeep in the distance, and I fire a few rounds at him to try get his attention. He carries on, and I keep hoofing it.

Next thing I get shot at from ahead. Turns out he tried setting up an ambush for me at a ditch, still several kilometers away from the zone. We exchange fire and I duck behind a tree. Now the blue creeps up on us and that guy starts panicking and running away, and I drop him. I grab his meds and car, just managing to get back to the zone after healing several times on the way.

If you can't reach the zone, just hail the pubbie taxi.

God damnnnnn, two good runs today solo

- Started super far north on the island only for the circle to collapse allllllllll the way onto the southern end of the military base. Had to fight through seven people to finally get to the late game and roped around the southern end of the island as the circle closed on the air strip south of the radar tower. This loving sucked because it came down to the final three and one of the last dudes left was far enough in the circle that he could sit atop one of those hangar/bunker/whatever entrances in a bush and pick me off as I came barreling in, chomping on steroids and chuggin energy drinks to try to survive, a load of poo poo/lucky bastard/excuse/etc./etc.

- Just now I finished a game ninth where I ended up the hills south of Georgopol and played King of the Hill where I took on about six people who tried to take away one of the plateaus I was on, but a decked out M4 and a SKS with an 8x scope made it relatively easy until loving four people emerged on all sides and started a crossfire right over my head among the rocks as I was prone. I tried to get the jump on one, missed, and fell off the side of the hill (lol) but I got two flick headshots with my M4 before having to reload. A third dude came steadily around a corner and didn't see me at first but I moved to early and sprayed and missed and he barely got me.

Yeah when a crate hits that near you late game it's basically a death sentence. Sometimes kinda fun but your chances of winning go waaay down.

So according to this page; http://playbattlegrounds.com/partners.pu you must have average concurrent viewership of 150+ on Twitch and broadcast 3 times a week or upload content weekly. I bet we could find someone among us, or just all start following and pile in on someone among us, and we can get a version of the custom game mode client.

Then we can run custom goon games with survival and modified loot tables...

It's funny how invisible you become just laying in grass. Down to the final 15 people and the zone is shrinking. Dude literally walks on top of my and only noticed me when I shot him point blank with a sniper.

I hate playing this game with other people. I can't stand 4 man squads. Duos even get irritating sometimes. I guess I just don't like people telling me what to do and I can improvise much easier playing solo.

Jumping into a populated area and killing your way out of it all by your lonesome is the best feeling in the world.

Mistle posted:

It's the Groza, it should be on starter island, the furthest table on the left(standing on the runway), closest to the runway. It's often one of the first guns picked up, but if you're early, you should nab it eventually.

Right behind it on the far left is the p16c, the fart pistol. I think it actually shoots faster than the uzi, but it's rear end for control on full auto. Also a fun thing to play with.

Yeah, I got that bit. I've messed around with it on the starter island. I just wondered how it handled out in the wild

"He has a kd of 1. An average of 1 kill per match. Only 1 kill be it squad game or solo game. hmmmmmm"

Helmet and outfit color, plus the "prone wiggle" when you look around without holding alt are strong giveaways, personally, but not moving is really hard at close range, high or low res.

Another thing that gives people away: sticking the guns out windows. "I wonder if that m4 sticking out the second floor window knows how to catch a grenade :getin: "

You can turn it down, but not off. Even at it's minimal setting you can often just fail to notice people who are lying still in the grass and bushes, even when you are bumping into them and wondering why you can't move forward.

Isn't foliage on at ~100m regardless of settings? I'm pretty sure that the patch note said that they made it consistent across all settings, I took that as meaning it's fixed for everyone and that higher settings won't put players at a disadvantage.

this probably has more to do with you sitting in private channels & statsing people as a pre-requisite of replying to them whatsoever than the demand for a private server.

I have enjoyed https://www.twitch.tv/chocotaco lately. Guy is very low on pretense. No catchphrases. Doesn't get mad. Plays smart and tends to explain decisions so you can learn a thing or two.

Maybe bordering on too sober but that can be nice sometimes.

to put it in another manner, people would be more privy to reaching your goal if they thought they could also partake in the private servers as opposed to just the handful of people you play with
