If PUBG has VAC bans that stole the inventory of cheaters like CSGO does, there would be less monetary reasons to cheat. Think about that.

VAC is definitely the way to go, there's no doubt about it in my mind that it would make the situation way better if not fix it altogether.

Also I would say Battleeye is working reasonably well given the sheer amount of hackers out there. On OC we probably get a definite hacker once every 5 games, which is bad, but compared to DayZ in which every single game had at least one guy doing it it's better...

The only problem I can see with VAC is that it tends to act very slowly with its delayed ban system. For a problem this large, they'd have to strike hard and fast.

The other issue is that there's no appealing VAC bans, so if there's any false positives stemming from BlueHole's wonderful code then, welp.

now you see that's a friendly little bush right there, we're going to sit in that bush - remember this is your game, you can play it anyway you want to - we're going to sit in this bush and maybe get a few kills as the big old cars drive past us.

Now, what I want you to do, is take your AKM, pop a red dot sight on it because it's a real devil of a kicker this one, and just nice and easy...spray those little guys down. There we go.

Agreed, there's nothing like the "gently caress gently caress gently caress where's a gun poo poo go back the other way I heard a shotgun" moments at the start when you drop Rozhok.

Yeah, this really is the best part of the game for me too (since I’m generally terrible at it). I had a situation earlier today where an opponent and I walked into an empty house via opposite doors at the same time - we started punching each other then I spotted a shotgun so rushed for it. He punches me while I load it, finally killing him with about 5% health left.

It’s experiences like that that make me want to keep playing, despite the hackers and other bugs.

Are the fpp servers still completely random matchmaking? I just played a top ten round with 5 kills but I had three rounds leading up to it with 0 kills and I'm trying to figure out if the fourth game was just luck or if I essentially pushed myself down into the tard bracket with those other games.

You know honestly I'm really wondering if there's any MM at all. One game I'm in with a bazillion idiots, then the next I'm falling to DrDisrespect. Very large descrepancy in general between my games. I'm at 200 hours. So I'm still fairly new to the subgenre of battle royale. read: I'm not great, but there's PLENTY of data for it to tell me to not be matched with ppl who play this for a living on stream, you dig?

The idea that there's the same people queuing up with streamers and reliably getting in the same exact games over and over despite said streamers / good players getting a dozen kills and the stream snipers dying real soon adds credence to this.

I think it's mostly random, there's loose MM. But it's not NEARLY as strict as ranked MM in multiple other modern shooters.

Honestly once you get like 10 wins in a row and 30 kills without dying you get put up with people who can actually react and shoot back anyway so I don't see what the problem is.

My buddy and I lost 1v2 to Shroud in Duo for the 2nd place finish :( We killed DrDisrespect and knew where Shroud was but he sneakily looped around up onto a cliff and blasted us in typical shroud fashion with a silenced m16.

Sucks because we downed Disrespect and wanted to push Shroud but some other dipshits were shooting at us from our side and throwing grenades :cry:

I can tell you now you can get 15 wins in a row and 100 kills without dieing without people shooting back, in Asia. I'm sorry for making everyone lose their asia stats.

The other good thing about ChocoTaco is that I think the average player can learn from his style. Obviously his reaction speed and aim are something else, but his movement, positioning etc can be studied with a degree of success

There definitely is MM. The difference between playing unranked when they have it turned off and playing when it's turned on is something else.

Generally his tactic is to get to the centre of the circle as soon as possible and then kill people coming his way. So yeah he will often end up holding a building but I wouldn't say he's camping as most people would understand it. He's actively moving around the building to check all the angles and he isn't hiding - If he sees someone he almost always engages them even if it looks like they weren't coming his way. I'd say he's very agressive but from a defensive position, and he often pushes out to chase people, loot bodies, go after crates etc.

That's why I think it's easier to emulate his style and have it be effective, most of the stuff he does is actually really simple, it's just that he also has insane aim & reactions on top of it. It would be much harder for an average person to watch DrDisrespect and try to play like that, as he's super agressive. I've not watched much of Shroud but I've heard him described the same way, in that he gets himself into positions that would be death for most players, but he's skilled enough to prevail.

edit: Also he explains his decisions pretty much constantly which makes it even better to learn from.

Already covered, but I wouldn't call what he does camping. It's definitely fun to poke him a bit when he gets iced by a guy sitting in a bathtub about how he's also a camper though.

Shroud is also a fun watch and I'll throw his stream on if choco isn't playing yet. I kind of want to see them play together just to see if choco can handle rolling with shroud's really carefree playstyle. I don't think he'd be able to do it. He gets too antsy when out in the open.

Man, that circle #3 is a bitch if you don't have a vehicle and it spawns as far away as possible to you on the edge. Running full tilt you just barely make it. If you get into one small firefight, you won't make it in. They need to increase the time a bit for some of these, especially after the damage increase. Does anyone agree?

If you have enough bad luck and keep getting circles spawning on the opposite end of you and you can't find a vehicle, you're literally running the entire game. Now I see why people don't drop Zharki or north Georgepol.

No because I don't play with random squads. Join the Goon discord. Some goons are douchebags and/or terrible at the game but at least they speak English.
