You realise that it's not NA players being particularly good but that someone a quarter to halfway decent from OC or EU or wherever playing their first game on NA (or any other) servers would tear rear end just as easily due to being placed in the poo poo tier match making bracket, right?

The UMP-9 is already in the game. I don't think it would be a very different gun, seeing how the UMP was intended to replace the MP5

Let me introduce you to a little-known firearm called the American-180. :911:



Originally designed in the 1960s as a potential riot control weapon, the American-180 is distinguished by its pan magazine (like the DP-27) that holds 180 .22LR bullets.

It actually holds 177 .22lr bullets :ssh:

One cop ended up using the American-180 in a car chase against armed fugitives that were shooting at them, he peppered the gently caress out of the car and killed the guy. It was apparently viable against body armor not through penetration but completely exceeding the vest's capabilities.

somebody I played with said that their resolution got knocked down to 720p, but that he was able to adjust it by editing the .ini file. Make sure to edit the one for the test server and not the regular game.

All that would serve to do is force people in the final circle to trade shots instead of doing maneuvers.

Man, new Test Server patch is DRAMATIC (https://www.playbattlegrounds.com/news/105.pu). I think it goes a long way towards bridging the gap from Early-Access to Initial Release (at least in terms of 'changes since beginning of Early-Access').

I feel like there are a million un-announced changes. One of the most obvious ones is that the ocean gets DEEP now. If you swim underwater while mindlessly holding crouch, you will sink into the abyss and not be able to get back to the top before you drown. Also, I think a lot of the sounds were changed (everything from player movement being made louder, to gunshots being softer/different). Killcam feature worked perfectly for me, and it even shows the position of all nearby players on the mini-map like you were in Spectator mode.

It almost seems like PlayerUnknown was trolling us by going so long without much in the way of meaningful content updates and then rolling this out without much fanfare.

I think the more likely explanation is that they had to spend time merging in the big Unity UE4 engine update ~2 months ago or whatever it was, and the rest of this stuff was put on hold until that was completed.

Depends on what the new rate of fire is on the Mini. The big thing with the Mini was the muzzle velocity. And the low recoil. And the laser accuracy. A quick google says the current RoF on the Mini is 10RPS. I doubt many people are doing 10 clicks in a second. Even 6 is near the top of what I could manage, and there's no way you're keeping that on target above 150m.

they are just developing on a new engine version period, so none of the improvements could be patched to live. "the rest of this stuff" is what they've been working on the entire time.

it would make no sense to split your dev team and have half of them support the live version which would be dead in a few months. they've repeatedly said this but immensely entitled babies are still gonna complain about the lack of updates.

Guys, I'm clearly dumber than most. Second to last circle south of Georgopl. There's only a few houses in the circle and I sneak up on a dude and kill him inside of it. He thought he was being real stealthy but nope. What's hosed up about it the most is that he managed to wing me. So here I am, in this house that is absolutely untouched. I'm looting the guy I just killed for some medkits.

Another dude comes from the second floor and kills me with a loving frying pan while I'm looking through bastard #1's inventory. Finish 16 out of 99.

Yeah the new UI is a serious step down
- Map is desaturated and less clear
- HP bar no longer turns red when it's bandageable, it now has a little danger bar texture that sucks and is hardly visible
- New fonts look like poo poo imo, like they're trying to be "cyber" in 2005

Just played a bunch of games on the test server, the only thing that really bothered me was the awful bombing sounds. The ui and map stuff is minor and they'll work it out.

Gunplay felt awesome, very risky exposing yourself. Looting was better than ever, movement wasn't horrific, was a nice preview of what's to come. Game still rules.

Yeah vaulting is pretty fun. You still don't feel like a human climbing over stuff in that, if you jump early, you can't possibly grab and scramble over something and instead just stop moving and fall straight down. It's also bizarre that you can't climb up irregular surfaces at all, rectangles only, but it's a good start certainly.
