Do you guys think those new destructible shacks are placeholders or the final product? I was hoping it was the former, and we were going to get ones that look like the originals, but could be demolished. That might be too much to ask for in this engine though.

there was no problem in the matches where the final circle didn't end up over water. every match will have the same number of kills no matter how you structure the points. they just need better observing, since with the current terrible observing you won't see anything even if players are aggressive

Evermore securing overall 1st place by hiding in the blue and medding his way into the final 10 of the last round is a pretty glaring problem.

why? he mostly won because he won a round. the ~25 other people who finished top 10 in each game did not secure overall first place

I'm sure they'll make changes to the tournament format, they're still figuring stuff out. I saw some gamescom people on twitter asking for suggestions on how to improve it down the line, so they're at least trying to learn and hopefully future tournaments will bring that experience with them going forwards

If not the game will end up like overwatch, which is fun to play, super popular but somehow still completely dead in terms of viewership. Which I mean is completely okay, I have zero interest in competitive pubg when there's much better games for that out there, but it's probably not what PU wants since he seems to have a huge hard-on for esports

Man I really need to start recording my games. Just got a chicken dinner with 8 kills where on three separate occasions someone had the drop on me and by all rights should have killed me but I was able to turn around and blast them. Including the last guy to win my chicken.

Everyone who's been recommending dropping on the military base until you Get Good? Do it. You'll both greatly improve your shooting AND it will help you keep your cool when shots matter.

I'd love to reply but I spent 15 minutes trying to find the round results and could only piece together the first round and the final results because this tournament has horrible production quality on most fronts.

I don't recall if he even interacted with another player in round 3. Boat to spawn island, boat back to western military island, get stuck and med as long as possible until the blue got him.

e: fastforwarded through a round 3 iso-cam and he sees one other person, who was also hiding in a boat behind the island to avoid any actual shooting

How about this for scoring: When you kill somebody, you get some portion of their point total added to yours. Just like a portion of their gear gets added to yours. :getin:

esports are different than real sports to me because I don't see most people watching to root for a particular player/team or honestly even care who wins, they just want to be entertained. I know people who are hardcore into the particular game may decry tactics a winner used to win but in my experience they are the minority, vocal as they may be.

You're probably right but have you considered the possibility of giving out points for sick bike flips?


But the game right now is the second most popular game on Twitch, so people must love watching this stuff, even without crazy scoring systems. If people can get a kick out of watching ONE guy run around for a half hour which is mostly downtime, it should mean that being able to follow 80-100 guys would make it an even more exciting experience.

The game just needs non-poo poo observer tools/camera person.

Yeah the game owns and is clearly super watchable. But this doesn't mean it's well suited to the tournament-commentators-prize pool esports model.

I know that being the last alive is the whole point of this game, but it's going to fail horribly as a spectator sport if they don't reward hunting down and murdering the other players. Naked guy running to the middle of every circle and getting 0 kills but winning a tournament will get old quick.

I'm a fan of this approach, either a portion, or a capitalized system, where you get your kills plus the kills of the guy you killed. Not sure if it should theoretically roll into last kill gets all kills, or if you just get self + kills, but making killing killers makes aggression much more rewarding, and it can make the random bush goon worthless in terms of points.

I also just want to point out that a robust custom game options set would make a tournament easier to arrange: change circle size/speeds/locations, point allotment, weapon availability, etc. It'll be fair because everyone would be subject to it.

For game ideas, I'd suggest drop with utility filled with a handful of random ammo, no ammo anywhere except airdrops. Would make shots valuable, hunting important, and crates a case of "risk life with melee, or risk running out of ammo away from the crate".

I can't imagine the ultralight being anything but a death trap for idiots... it'd be like strapping yourself to a giant kite and flying above the battleground for all to shoot. Although an uzi ultralight driveby on a rooftop sniper would be rad.

This already happens in other sports. If somebody comes 2nd in every formula 1 race of a season and nobody bags enough firsts, then the guy with the 2nds would win.

Maybe they should just run tournaments where it's "first player to 2 wins" and they play as many rounds as necessary?

This is a stupid post because the retail game that all us idiots play also uses kills for ratings, side-by-side with placements out of 100. The tournament rules ended up making kills worth LESS than they are in standard live games, which lead to the problem of camping.

I'd like to see Binoculars added in 8x/12x/15x flavors (bonus 6x w/rangefinder), and Directional Microphone (fits in pistol slot) with 100m base range with 200m/300m/400m range addon dishes laying around, and maybe a Spike Strip you can throw across roads (main weapon slot); more tools and support things in general.

I'd also like to see more useless/borderline weapons just to fill out the roster and make for good kill videos, like Sock Full Of Nickels and M1915 CSRG
