cool how it's basically Battle Royale: the movie: the game and now they're gonna try claiming usage rights on it like slide-to-unlock.

I wonder who is the plucky developer that will buy the right to the movie IP and start suing when people say BR mode.

Edit: Also pushing this game as Esports feels extremely forced because as someone astutely noted, FPP is on par with Quake 2 on a 56k modem. The polish just isn't there. Like do they even have actual camera modes for esport expectating?

Exploring this for esports feels way less forced than a lot of other stuff. Here it's stemming from actual popularity in what people want to play and watch versus something aggressively built and marketed as the next esports thing.

How would you even call a PUBG game? They're using the player model equivalent of the picture that comes with the frame you buy at walmart, they probably don't have anything customized for spectator usage, if the engine even comes with any stock controls for a spec camera.

If you had unlimited dollars and the best dev team ever how would you design a game to steal PUBG's thunder? Lots of BR type games trying to be the best, whats missing. I personally think they've got the perfect MVP and it's going to be hard to knock them off the horse.

I'd pay EA/Dice shitloads of money to use the frostbite engine and their assets and remake the game in that with fully destructible buildings, actual vehicle physics, and allow people to host their own dedicated servers.

Ran over two people in a boat in one game. One was on the beach who stood there like a dumbass while I rammed the bow into his mouth. Second was in the water swimming up to a crate. Was feeling good heading into the last couple of circles and hit network lag for 2 solid minutes then get kicked out to the lobby to be told "the game is now over". Well no poo poo you loving worthless programmers.

Only unintentionally with bugs etc. The m26 secondary a bug with a dlc primary that let it shoot ar bullets with ar ballistics instead of shotgun pellets. (Youd shoot like 9 at once) This let you 1 hit at any range in bf3 for like 3 months. That was ea forcing them to keep all 3 platforms on the same patch and microsoft taking forever to certify the xbox version more than malice or incompetence though.

there is a spectator mode that seems to have all sorts of features. Its really laggy though and its clear the game did not have a spectator in mind.

Is anyone else getting immediate CTDs on launch when you have MSI Afterburner / Rivatuner open? I wonder if they forgot to whitelist that. I can open them after the game has launched and it's fine.

This is some funny jank. I headshot the guy about 1 frame before he runs me over. If you frame by frame through it pops up with 0 killed and it has no player name for who ran me over. I wonder if he got a kill as well.
