You all weren't kidding about that lag, it's really not worth playing if you care about doing well or feeling like you have agency over your character for the first 5+ minutes.

Unfortunately, this is the message on the homescreen now:


Despite that, first person mode seems very promising, even though the camera is way too low and there's some other weirdness with it.

Edit: "BEAR WITH US" might be the first hint that they are, in fact, adding aggressive wildlife to the game eventually.

Right now it's pretty easy to pick a less populated part of the map and if you luck out with circles, the game gets much better when there are around 50-60 players left. Trying to engage anyone in a firefight with a nearly full roster right now is flipping a coin.

Uhh no? When did I say that? I said i haven't based decisions on the killfeed. Of course I've used it to learn that xyz player just died, but it's not something that usually changes my strategy. It matters most in the lategame, but my attention is usually spent trying to actually spot players and watching my flanks. In the scenario you described, I would check out the close shots regardless of the killfeed.

I don't think they should remove the feed, I just don't use it for info as much as I do in TF2 or Overwatch. I'm sure others do.

If you don't base decisions on killfeed you're probably not keeping tabs on players the way you say you are.

The scenario I described is a very general one you see all the time in final circles and hot drops or anywhere where it is important to clear multiple players out. If you know 3 dudes are over there, hear gunshots and see the killfeed, assume there are 2 guys over there now.

So if you are trying to do first person duo, save yourself the effort and don't. The game will que you as a team and then dump you in the lobby without your teammate on your HUD or map, but in the same game with you. Its some strange hybrid of solo and Duo where the text for kills still shows like you are grouped but you can't share map markers or see each other on the map and if your teammate takes fatal damage you automatically get the "better luck next time screen" while you are still alive and you are awarded 0/50 place.

Source: me when my buddy caught an m24 to the head and immediately died instead of going down, and it immediately gave me the game over screen.

Apparently this is an EU server thing only? Happened here when I tried duo'ing, but people on reddit (ugh) reporting it didn't happen when they queued on NA.
We ended up just going full 4 man squad and playing normally. With horrific lag. And all the amusement that brought.

If there are 3 dudes over in X area, and I hear gunshots and see the killfeed kill counter at the top right reduce by one, I assume there are 2 guys in area X now.

I don't need the killfeed for the scenario you described at all, unless I want to know the specific weapon used to reduce the top right counter by one guy.

For non-Solo games, the killfeed's ability to show knockdowns, kills, and 'finally kill's adds value.

In the Solo scenario above, the killfeed will allow you to know which enemy won even if they both stop firing at roughly the same time (assuming they were using different weapons, and you can identify the weapons by their sound, which can be difficult with late game suppressed guns).

Sure, this doesn't matter if they were right on top of each other, but if they were at different angles from you, it could influence your decision to attack/avoid 1 angle over the other.

The camera's actually in the right spot, right on the character's face. It's just that the whole world is bizarrely out of scale and it was harder to tell from 3rd person.

For someone who is tired of hearing about streamers you sure mention them in every post. Most people don't give two shits if a streamer is in their game or not, they just want to honk and have a good time.
