Needless to say the game is quite a bit easier now that mic is actually set to push-to-talk.

 Not sure if this was a desync issue or what but I suspect the owner of this bolt was pretty pissed off when I didn't die. Or take any damage whatsoever. I did have to spend the next five minutes after we finished murdering him and his buddy with it lodged in my throat mind.

I've seen some funky poo poo concerning this on the test server where hits show blood but doesn't seem to do any damage. Yesterday I hit a dude who was running 4 times with an m16 which means he should be close to death. He went prone but I could still see his legs and rear end and I hit him an additional 6'ish times, after which he got up and kept running. Me and my buddy both saw blood with each hit. Anyone else experienced similar? Seems like the test servers have really really bad hit reg. Even worse than live. Also it seems at the plants shown to the right in this image has been made as a solid object and you can't shoot between the branches, or a least some of them.

Vehicles on Miramar need to be way more visually distinct, unless you have optics you'll probably be running towards a burnout. As it stands the Bronco looks identical to broken ones.

Won a pair of chicken dinners in squads on Miramar last night. Honestly I think this map needs another 50-100 people on it. That's my only gripe. It really does feel empty during the mid game. If you survive your initial drop point and get your initial loot you might not see anyone else for two more circles. The bad part is the rubber banding at the beginning of the game was so bad last night I think another 50-100 people would crash the game or make it unplayable so I'm not optimistic for increasing the player limit. But we had games where the first circle would end and there would be like 30 people left. It was horrible. We wouldn't see anyone until the final 10 people. So yeah, the complaints about the map being waaaay too big are completely valid. This map isn't meant for this kind of player limit. Otoh, I've had no trouble with finding loot and I love the new tall buildings and the massive construction sites. We had some really amazing firefights yesterday in the big city in those construction sites. The loot is a little more spread out but that's not the worst thing in the world. I've had little trouble finding a decent starting gun before we run into trouble.

Can confirm, joshua trees are solid spiky painful nightmares of the desert. (Haven't tried to shoot through them in-game, but these things are the ultimate cover when playing paintball. The spikes break all the balls so you're just covered in paint, but unhit.)

Well this was a fun action movie scene. I think? But the kill cam was just blank? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvIzesZDIzA I suppose it's just some slowness somewhere but drat that is one useless kill cam.

Or watch the recording once then hit replay at the end (which is normally an option, i guess yours bugged.) I think it reloads the whole map the first time it loads the replay but it doesn't need to the second time.  Also killcams that involve vehicles seem particularly buggy in general.

Yeah something about loading the map seems right, but it was never this slow before (or since).

I'm interested in getting into this game, but I've been watching dearsomeone's Highlight Reels and stuff like this has me very worried. The fact that its on a highlight reel suggests its uncommon, but drat that's scary. Do I have a chance to get started in this game or is it to late to catch up to the pros?

That said, a major problem I have translating what skills I have between shooters is that every goddamned game handles slightly differently and I don't have finely tuned enough aim to be able to really zero in where my sensitivity should be beyond "pretty drat low" so all the shooters I play aim slightly differently and I feel like I can never actually hone my poo poo because of it In the end, play with friends. Whether you're trash or pro, PUBG is a beautiful game when shared with friends. The amount of fun I have playing solo compared duos or squads is incomparable.

Make it like cs:go deathmatch - you can die, but you respawn instantly, with a random loadout every time. Playing other games only goes so far, I mean I'm decent at CS:GO but some things don't translate that well (though that might be because PUBG runs too much like dogshit for me, and doing things like rushing into occupied buildings with a shotgun only works when you can actually shoot first).

Play with friends and it's fun, win or lose Not trying to turn you away from the game, but fair warning is appropriate. PUBG is a game with incredibly high highs, but has pretty frequent lows unless you're incredibly good at the game (though, again, playing with friends helps a lot). My first chicken dinner was one of the most amazing moments I've ever had in a video game, but I've also had a lot of frustrating losses.

Like someone else said, you make your own victories. Shooting out all of the tires of the sniper who gave your boss trouble, leaving them to run, boom. Victory. Did a jumping Superman-punch and one hit KO someone - victory. Doing bike flips - victory. Also play squads, yeah.

Also keep in mind this is a game where even when you get better at it, you don't really feel like you're improving because it will keep moving you up in the rankings and matching accordingly. I sometimes wonder why I'm playing like poo poo all of a sudden and then the leaderboards reset and I feel like an invincible god for a couple of matches.

Despite having no evidence at all, I firmly believe that there is no such thing as matchmaking in this game. It just lumps you in with whoever else clicks play at the same time.

There is some resemblance of basic match-making for sure, which is why I can jump on Asia and NA a week after every reset and log a 20 kill game without breaking a sweat. It does seem to heavily favour speed over tight MMR groupings though.
