The only time you're going to be in awe at comically slow projectiles is when trying to hit players at the edge of the render distance with a VSS.

It's super slow, but it's because it's supposed to be a subsonic speed, which is around 343m/s according to wikipedia

100m/s is a huge exaggeration of how slow the bullets are.

AKM 715m/s
K98 760m/s
SCAR 870m/s

The only time you're going to be in awe at comically slow projectiles is when trying to hit players at the edge of the render distance with a VSS.

You can actually see the rounds slowly flying even when shooting pretty close to you, a few hundred meters. If the bullet speed was nearly 1km/s you wouldn't even have time to see it.

I swear there's no tracers on the test server anymore for sniper rifles so it's a big :shrug: when you are trying to hit with irons.

So I'm learning that the default key bindings are absolute *garbage* and to get anywhere in this game you pretty much need to totally rebind everything.

They’re still there. Harder to see since the new map is mostly yellow but I was lobbing shots at a dude yesterday.

a few pages back I was complaining a lot about hackers on OC. Just to close off that story in a neat little bow: it's been 4 days, we've played probably at least 20 first person matches, we've had maybe one guy that was suss.

Also the people playing FPP are way better at the game. Some stories have a happy ending!

you enable it on the gameplay tab of the settings menu, but you also have to assign a key specifically to ADS. What sucks is you can't just reverse hip/ads hold/toggle as it is now, so if you want hold to ADS you have to find a key to hip fire with separately.

A) that's muzzle velocity, they slow as they travel.

B) A fraction of a second is actually much longer then you think, you can see tracers in real life at those distances.

I do think they seem to have exaggerated the drag effect a bit.

I have always put my main rifle in single shot but watching killcams it seems a lot of people use them jn auto even with a 4x/8x. Have i been... wrong this whole time?

Why may I use the 8x and 15x on the M416, SCAR and AK-47 but not the M16?

I'm downloading that game right now actually. I'll report back.

On test you can't skydive straight down or go faster than 200 km/h in first person mode.

It works like normal in third person.

Presumably there was too much overlap in performance between it and the mini.

So you also shouldn’t be able to fit the 4x, 2x, holo, or red dot.

It’s because Bluehole got pissed off that everyone had realized the M16 was a better sniper rifle than the SKS.

Ahhhh, and here I was thinking that it was some design change they made. I was adding additional horizontal distance before I started going looking down as much as I could, and I would spin around a bit to try and stay over a particular spot before the chute deployment.

Played a few matches.

- 15 player BR
- Light paid elements in BR, I think you can get character upgrades but you're not spawning with guns or anything
- Map feels more built for combat than PUBG, even though it's small. No giant fields to roam through trying to find the next arena
- First person is less clunky

Overall it's really weird. It's not great, but at $0 it's a neat take. I took first on my second game, I didn't find a weapon until 8 players were left then just went on a spree. Players are really bad, too.

If you ask me, you should play PUBG or Fortnite.

Do you know if you can make custom matches?To do a 15 player BR out of people you know?

I don't see a custom game option. If it had one this would be a real fun game to play.

It's really easy to win in this mode. Also ammo is outright scarce. It's really weird but I'm having a decent time since it runs well enough.

Edit: I just had an air drop open up open to be empty. This is hilarious.

Edit 2: Overall this game isn't very good. It's fun for a few matches but in the end it feels empty.

Geez, so depending on the weapon you need to lead and adjust for elevation a lot more... I had no idea it was on a per-weapon basis too...

He's kidding about the 100m/s, in the most recent balance wave the k98 projectile speed was adjusted down to ~25m/s in order to keep sniper rifles balanced

You can just tap the button in auto to fire a single bullet, so they probably just do it so they don’t have to switch firing modes.

I had the absolute wet dreamiest game you can imagine last night, the kind where every enemy is shooting at someone else and is completely exposing their juicy flanks, stationary, for you to shoot. To top it off, we had a random pubbie who was chill AF, down to finding two 4x scopes right off the drop and giving them BOTH out while he was cool with using a 2x :psyduck:.

I finally got the chance to play a decent amount of the new map last night. My only gripe is: You really seem to have to stick to the roads when driving, and that sucks for such a large map. Our group got caught three times with people just sitting behind a broke down car on the side of the road waiting for people to drive at them. Is this normal? Is this what people are going to do on that map? If so, it is going to really limit dropping at any of the far corners to try and avoid having to drive a decent distance into the circle.

I did win a chicken dinner though, in the hills! :D

Yea, I'm fine at driving, just not straight up the enormous mountains that seem to be everywhere? Yes there are flat bumpy lands here and there, but the majority of the areas in between towns have enormous rocky mountains that aren't really meant for driving, and if you do take them, it takes forever. It's nothing like the Russia map, where you can essentially drive wherever the hell you want. Maybe I need to play it more to learn the routes that I can offroad at without driving up an enormous rocky mountain.

Also are they fixing the horrible shaking when you try to shoot out of driving cars?

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
PUBG really, really needs a fully featured shooting range with infinite ammo and lots of stationary and moving targets to give you time to figure out how to really get comfortable with the game without playing against 99 other players and a ticking clock. Real bad.
