I have poor short term memory but I think it's like 5 points for a kill vs 500 points for first place (with a heavy point load in the top 10 and a sharp drop-off beyond).

Understandable I guess for a game about last man standing but yeah more points for kills would be good. Maybe 25 or so?

Any ideas how many people are playing or what the system is here? Like a bunch of qualifying matches and a final match with the top 100 scores or something?

Final circles there would be a lot of fun. Hoping they work on the optimization a bit more before they crank out that next map. Hope they get a snow map working eventually, fighting on an alpine map with the occasional blizzard would be great.

Aren't elevators a serious challenge to get working right in multiplayer games?

I only recall BF4 Singapore having a "working" elevator. Even then it only worked by closing the doors and teleporting the players to the top.

Are they? I don't play a lot of multiplayer shooters but I don't see how an elevator could be more complicated than a jeep.

A train that circles the map or one area would be cool too.

Every building in the middle of the circle is camped and people on the edges are running from fights because of the tournament point structure.

Yeah this is bad.

It's been made very defensive but the middle game is usually boring as poo poo anyway. I'm just hoping it means more people packed into tiny circles because that will be easier for these clowns to spectate without loving it up. They need to leave xray mode on for the love of god.

Edit: The choice of view is god awful. They have firefights all around a closing circle and they choose to stay on some idiot leaning back and forth in a house peeking out a window.

What the gently caress kind of mmr do you have that no one goes to pochinki? I'm guessing either super duper high or super duper low. Unless it's far off the path I usually see at least 8-9 chutes hit pochinki pretty much every solo game.

I think third person is nicer to watch due to it being less spastic (it takes less camera panning around in 3rd person to scan the same area vs swinging the mouse around a ton to scan in 1st).

That said making the points scoring based on living and not kills was stupid, 1st and 3rd would both camp. They should have made the score work like this: kills give x points. Top ten positions gain a multiplier per position applied to kill points.

the game could be an esport if there was some sort of impartial observer dictating red zones and loot placement and poo poo but it's not great for CYBER SPORTS when like half of the players in a match can only find a level one jockstrap and a slingshot and need to turn into bridge-huddling trolls in order to get the most Bluehole Bucks or whatever the gently caress this tournament is

Sounds like CS:GO is more your speed. The game is the game. And if you'd have watched that first match nothing even remotely close to what you're talking about happened.

Thankfully this drops down to almost unnoticeable levels after a while. Then again, it was part of what made the game so addictive at the start.

I've tried to stick to FPP solo games, and I am back to the beginning of being bad at this game. So, in the rare occasion I make the Top 5, it's still a big deal.

I think it would be pretty dumb to have anyone but the last guy standing be there winner. It's right there on the screen. If that makes it a bad esport, it's a bad esport, so be it.

But they're doing multiple rounds so it has to be points based. And the points can be set up in any way possible. Unless they do multiple point qualifying rounds then just take the top 10 or something with a modified rules server and last man standing wins that. Maybe something with fast circles so it doesn't take forever.
