I just watched the video and I think you guys do a good job balancing putting on a funny show while still being relatively pedagogical about explaining your process. For your intended target age group, I think the costumes and skitty nature could work really well!

Good luck with your project, seems like a neat concept

cool thanks man. year we are totally gonna make more although we might switch up the format and do less sketch comedy and more art at the beggining of the videos.

Haha I remember thinking that after the (so far only) win I got, and I realised that having the opposite feeling when you lose is what makes this game so addictive (at least for me). Like for every (solo) win it means 99 others have to lose but that doesn't stop me thinking "I'll win next time, that guy was just lucky" and re-queueing to be slaughtered once more.

It would be awesome if it runs better than the Unreal engine, but I don't think you can compare the two until we see the CS engine run with 100 people at once on a map as big as PUBG's. I suspect CS:GO runs not so great as things scale up.
CS:GO's engine isn't a good fit, that's for sure, but it's definitely quite possible to make this game properly and has been for some time.

The Battlefield series has had most of what it would take to make a Battle Royale game since its inception: BF1942 was released in 2002 and featured large scale maps, drivable vehicles, and parachuting from planes. BF3 was released 6 years ago and is an especially apt comparison because it had quite similar gunplay, no hitscan weapons at all, featured long distance sniper battles (where you had to compensate for bullet-drop), was capable of 64 player games (I'm sure with PUBGs slower gameplay 100 would work fine), and I remember it running pretty bloody good on the GTX570 I had at the time while looking better than this game does on the near-minimum settings I need use to get similar performance with much better hardware.

But let's face it, the unreal engine is quite capable of handling this game, it's the team behind it that's not.

So some guy killed me while I was in a buggy and while that's not the issue, I watched the killcam afterwards and noticed the entire time he aimed at me he was aiming like 5 feet off to the side. His reticle never once actually went over me or the buggy.

Is the game just bugged or did I run into my first cheater?

Spectating anybody is really buggy in this game. Killcam Spectating especially so.

Have you ever spectated teammates in squads/duos? You should immediately understand the problem if you have.

I haven't. Like I said, my initial guess was the game glitched in the replay but the leading behind me is what made me second guess it.

This just has to do with client/host latency. When he is aiming at you, the spectating info you see is where is aiming + the latency between him, the server, then you. That's why it is behind.

krursk posted:

Assault rifles had their accuracy nerfed so they are a harder to snipe people with. There is some kind of server-client handshake change supposedly to combat people using lagswitches (is that even a real thing?) so when your latency gets a bit too high you will notice delays in moving and shooting. I had some latency issues this morning and it was almost a second between clicking the mouse and firing a shot. I was also randomly stopping dead in my tracks, not rubber-banding just straight up stopping and having to build up momentum again from a standing position.

drat. They must have been nerfed into the ground to be missing at that range. What range are assault rifles good at?

I suppose there is nothing i can do about my latency. I have kickass fiber internet. :shrug:

Going semi has given me the best results from 1-70ish meters. Anything further I will switch to a rifle or just get closer. Burst fire feels like my bullets become blanks. Even at close range I cant hit poo poo with burst fire.

Probably because he'll get brutally owned over and over. I'll try to duo with him and keep him alive. I was mostly just posting about it and wondering if other goons had the same experience.

This game is partially so popular because it makes bad people feel good about hiding in bathrooms to a top ten finish. Let him play. Best advice I can give is don’t move while shooting, and stay calm and focus on accuracy over speed, and don’t shoot at people too far away because you aren’t going to kill them and you will give away your position.

And play with low sensitivity. Good rule of thumb, is your character should do 360 degrees or less across the distance of your mousepad for beginners with super bad aim.

a bunch of new people bought this game because im really high on the rankings and I've somehow won six or seven games since I started playing again yesterday. They certainly improved a lot, but a couple things need to be changed. Like the loving compass needs to have more contrast on the desert map because its so bright I have to look at the ground to get a bearing sometimes and the yellow color squad marker blends in really well with the sand and I just murdered my team mate on accident.

I just started playing this game (on xbox bc my pc can't run the game, I bought it but had to get a refund) and even with the performance issues it's such a loving blast. I usually just jump as far as possible from the plane to an unmarked village and loot up and play the edge of the zones. I play duos mostly and so far my friend and we end up in the top 10 about 25% of the time, which seems pretty good. They've patched it twice since release and while the lag and rubber banding is still bad, the frame rate is much more stable now. It just needs some auto aim to compensate for having to use a controller.

What I don't understand is all the folks who rush to poo poo like school or mil base. I mean, I understand it has good gear but I feel like odds are you're going to get wrecked because there's 10 other people there. Is the idea to get a gun as quickly as possible and hope to win the ensuing firefight?

Pretty much. A lot of people, myself included, enjoy high kill counts more than winning so those are great places to go if you want to fight, and possibly emerge geared should you win the fight.
