I say "Guys on the top of the hill" a lot, haha

I have began to look quickly at the minimap as soon as someone makes a call and then figure it out from there, though. The directional pointer helps a lot.

My order is Threat - Direction - General area - Relation to closest landmark - direction headed if any, or "Two guys north, up the hill, left of the shack heading east/right.".

God, I am so bad at this. I've never played a mil-sim type game before so the first 5 seconds of combat are reserved for screaming "Oh poo poo!!! There's a loving guy behind the building!" instead of relaying any kind of useful information.
Tip that works best for me: Work into your playstyle (even solo) to glance at your statuses every once in a while. Make it the "phone, wallet, keys" check you do in real life. "Minimap, health/ammo, direction".
Hopefully after a while you wont' freeze up when you see someone, instead you'll glance - out of habit - at your direction and call that out. Preferably use numbers even if the enemy is directly on the "N" mark or something.

Oh gently caress. I've had to edit the .ini fps to hardlock it to 60 fps because otherwise the main menu is melting my GPU by going into 100% use no matter the graphic settings.

Incidentally I learmed how to play from Beagle, which has worked well- many solo chicken dinners, though no squad ones since me and my mates comm discipline is very much video above tier. Mostly directions because I can't call them on the fly, and at least one gets east/west confused constantly

The Mini-14 rules so hard. It probably is going to get nerfed at some point which kind of sucks since it seems fairly realistic. This game is making me want to buy one IRL.

I'm sure they do. It just never crossed my mind hearing that voice, "Yes, that's what an 8 year old sounds like." I guess :shrug:

Played last night and when the first guy I came across dropped a grenade as he died. Whoops.

Also, annoying as gently caress that I seem to be stuck on AS servers as default now. I've never even played on them, that I know of.

That seems to be a glitch post-patch now. It keeps defaulting me to them as well. In solo I have to change server lists every time, in squad we just had to change it the first time and it kept us in the right queue between games.

They should increase the recoil/sway for the default lovely folding stock on the mini-14 and give it a tac stock slot to bring it back near current recoil levels. I've never shot a gun with a stock like that, but I gotta imagine it isn't all that comfortable.

I'm getting that black square thing on seemingly any ADS, but it's been random and hard to predict

Maybe the patch has triggered it for a new batch of people, but I've had this problem consistently since the game was released and across a wide spectrum of graphical settings and even hardware and a brand new windows installation, so...

I haven't shot that gun exactly, but I can tell you from experience that the collapsible stock on a HK43/93 feels like getting smacked in the head with a piece of rebar every time you shoot it. That's the same caliber and should most likely produce the same effect.

I found the opposite to be true, the boxes only show up when I turn up AA.

If anything the mini-14 should not come with any stock and then accept the wire uzi stock. That way the wire stock will actually get some more use.

SMDH if you don't always stockpile the uzi stock, smg exmag and smg silencer in your inventory in case you get the chance to build the ultimate fun gun

I have found that if I try to cancel matchmaking after launching with AS server selected it will be stuck there until I exit/restart PUBG. It's always defaulting to AS/3PP but I can switch it if I remember.

Extended mag is only 50rds, you will probably need a reload or two to finish a car. It's also got one of the lowest bullet velocities in the game, so you're not going to hit a moving car reliably with it unless you are about to get run over.
