NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.

Feel like the Kar98 is going to eat a headshot nerf, seems like anyone will pick one up if available.

It would be a worthless gun if headshots from the Kar didn't kill level 2 helmets. Why would you ever bother to use it if you could just use a rifle and get a much higher rate of fire for the same lethality?

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.

Yeah I figured. That strategy is probably not as viable on xbone just due to how janky it is rn. I guess I prefer a quieter playstyle more than a high kill count. I only had two kills for my only chicken dinner so far. It's easier to let everyone else kill each other and swoop in mop up who's left.

This just makes me imagine if DICE made a battle royale. Battlefield already has probably the best gun play of any game plus great vehicles. All they would have to do is make a larger map, which seems possible in frostbite. Plus it would be nearly as glitchy as PUBG is already, so people would feel right at home. At least it would run well and look so much better than PUBG.

I have played most first person shooters and DICE games are always at the very top of the genre, despite wonky animations or whatever at launch.

Battlefield 1 was so good, lightyears ahead of PUBG

Oh I agree it's ahead of PUBG. I have 13 days played on BF1 and it's probably my favorite FPS ever made. But it has hilarious bugs that pop up every patch. Even a beta version of a DICE battle royale would perform better than PUBG. But I'm not going to pretend DICE doesn't have it's problems with bugs.

That would be fun but I really enjoy the gunplay of PUBG and part of the fun of it is getting a format where "ARMA" gunplay is fun.

It would have loot boxes for sale in the waiting area. 60 seconds to buy an assault rifle. Only 3 dollars!

The new replay feature is cool. It shows all the action near the end because everyone is within range. In this match 3 squads wiped each other out on the top of the mountain and the last guy from an unrelated squad just wandered into my field of view.

P.S. junkyard is garbage.

This game needs a flare gun. Not only for maybe setting someone on fire, because but I’d love to have something that calls attention to an area. I think it would be amazing if I could ruin someone’s ambush with a flare.

Flare guns would only work for that if they started flaring after the apogee so you couldn't track the trajectory back towards the shooter.

Similarly, red smoke. Just to troll people with it.

They're not going to do the latter (probably) but they might do the Arma thing where you place a marker on the ingame map and it shows as a 3d marker in game.

i love this game, but i accept in my heart if they ever put mines or place-able explosives, i will never play it again. i would probably have a heart attack if was clearing a place and instead of a gunshot, it's a huge loving explosion.

I died to a red zone for the first time playing with a friend and we decided to take a buggy right through it because who ever dies to a red zone what are the odds? I figure thats what mines would be like

It's not the same, but don't forget you can deep a pin in your position with insert and if you have the map open it is only a click away.

Drop school because it's fun and the middle twenty minute of the game tends to be the least fun...aside from feverishly darting your eyes around and expecting to get headshot from a distance.

red zones are fine because it's a big rear end red circle and you get some time from it's generation to it's activation. a sudden explosion out of no where would make me piss myself since the solo game is basically a horror game if you're not super confident with your ability to shoot/spot folks, and mines would be the biggest jump scare i could think of, and i am not up for that.

Gonna guess between beta and release they haven't done much to fix the inescapable holes around the map or floating objects or buildings that have no collision that you can just walk through?

I am having a weird problem with friend visibility: I have a number of friends who I can see on steam but I cannot see in PUBG, no matter what state. If they are in the game, I cannot see them at all, whether they are in a round or not. I have two friends that aren't even showing up on the offline list. Ever.

I've restarted. I've gone as far as to uninstall and reinstall the game. Any ideas?
