I found that map on reddit and my new early strat is to jump to a spawn for one and take it from there. Being able to go across any large opening and have a shot at surviving is easily the most important thing.

Shooting mans good is the most important thing.

Pick your engagements carefully. You are likely to be under geared so don't go Rambo. Similarly, learn how to loot fast (but this is true regardless).

Related to this, be a vulture. Run towards gunshots, wait for the fight to end, then kill them while they're looting and healing. That's when they're most vulnerable, and a lot of people heal out in the open. Fighting fair is for suckers.

I like playing squad games where I queue in solo, and this plus choosing engagements smartly is the key. I haven't won that mode yet but it's pretty fun, 8 kills and 6th overall alive was my best so far.

The number of hackers seems to increase the later it gets. No huge shock there, I guess, but it’s still interesting. My squad of 3 got wiped instantly by a naked guy with an UMP who was about 1-2k away. So, yeah, hackers are still a problem.

Didn't they reset the ranks after the test server closed or something?

I guess running into more hackers makes sense as mmr starts to normalise, I ran into none last week but after a few good rounds this week its like 1 in every 3 games has some chinese guy start magically tapping heads at some point in the game

I loving finally got a Chicken Dinner in solo first-person, but it's when matchmaking isn't in effect, right? Then again, I'm bad, so it might have been harder, who knows! A Kar98k and a red-dot AK47 is a combo I quite like, though a crate drat near fell on me with an M24 in it, but it was late enough that I never actually got to use it. :(

Looking at a jaunt from shooting range to the literal shores of the north coast for the first circle, I decided to shoot the tires out of some unsuspecting sap who stopped his jeep to loot instead of searching to kill him. I only wish he could have heard me laughing maniacally as I rode off into the distance with the blue on my tail (even better I won this game, too).

Very early game, I had looted two houses at this point. I'm not rushing up there when I know he has a gun. I had no frags. So what to do? Apply psycholology and hope he bails.

I was fighting with a dude in the tunnel at gun range, he was camping down there and the zone was not going to close on us. He let me take a minute to grab a UAZ, park it fully in the entrance, down the stairs a little, and blow it up. I bet he was loving annoyed.

So i think I've found a glaring problem in my team's strategy when we actually get to the mid-late game with both of us (usually one of us gets blown away early, but we're working on that!).
We really like posting up just below the crest of a hill to give us cover and a good vantage in most directions.
And most times someone comes up on us in the one direction we can't see and kills us by surprise. I now think we really need to keep moving and use the close-edge circle running strat to stay alive and focused. It's easy to get complacent when you just post up like that.



Oh also we need to get better at the shooty bits.
That'll help.

Gold! I assume he died to the zone later.

I denied him entry into the white circle and I was providing suppressing fire to force him to prone and die to the circle. You robbed the Blue God, not me.

Some good stuff in there - I did like how in parts you talked about what you were doing and why.

IMHO I'd just say at minimum, edit more down and/or break it up into chunks with themes or areas to focus on.

23 min is waaay too long for most people's attention spans, mine included and it's a big ask for someone to watch through it unless there are specific things like tactical explanations like "how to use gun X in Y situation" or general highlights of awesome/funny stuff happening. Otherwise there's not a ton to differentiate or enough to really be compelling versus some of the other videos I'd watch, especially shorter ones.

I really like how you talk about what you're doing and why. It's really frustrating to try and divine intent from silent videos where people just intuitively know what's going on around them all the time when I have no idea how or why they're making the decisions they make, and your discussion of decisions is great.

Got my first chicken dinner in a 4 person squad of me, my brother, his buddy and a random.

We long dropped into military base and were the only squad there. By the time we left we had 3x Kar98, SKS, 3 8x Scopes, 3 SR silencers and about any other goody we ever wanted.

We took a hill early, and the circle kept staying on us and moving everyone into an open field.

They were the easiest kills I have ever racked up.

My first squad win was like that, except Novo instead of military. Almost felt like cheating.

Had a 3 man squad and a duos chicken dinner last night. I had 5 kills each match. Actually had a good stretch of 1st, 2nd, 1st, 4th.

The other day I ended up in a duos match with shroud and just9n, it was pretty funny having like, 25 people left before the first circle closed. Two matches later I ended up in a squad match with vsnz and he wiped out our whole squad. Knocked me twice. He's good.
