If you bold the word fact does that make your argument more true?

So my brother gave me this for Christmas. Downloaded and and thought I'd try a game before lunch. Annnnnnd "Matchmaking failed" Reset the game twice, still failed. What gives? Edit: Worked on try 4. Gridlocked fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Dec 25, 2017 |

There’s no way at all the lag in 1v1 is that bad. It’s not for me.

for what it's worth every 1v1 i've gotten into after 1.0 dropped has felt very smooth and it's pretty easy to see why i win or lose (loving railings in my line of fire  )

If you feel early game 1v1s are a bit RNG (which they are, if you don't get a gun early), stop dropping into busy areas? Honestly once you get down to ~80 people, server jankiness disappears so 1v1s are NOT RNG and dependent on tactic/skill.

I stalked a guy around, found a sickle he left behind waited for him to walk past me around a blind corner Annnnd apparently my swipe missed but his shotgun blast hit me in the face from a 45 degree angle. It appears match making lag is real, which would explain all the guys speaking Russian.

Some of hot drops can be RNG, but that's what happens when you drop somewhere with 5+ people. I've been dropping water treatment pretty consistently and I can pick up 3 to 4 kills and get a lot of good gear if I don't get smoked immediately. Sometimes you drop hot and don't find what you need. That's why new games start within 2-3 minutes after joining a lobby.

Anyways for me the last big/huge hurdle before the game becomes officially great (although I already love it) is the netcode/tickrate/hitreg stuff. Right now it's simply sub par. 10-20 tick + general jankiness must not be acceptable for blueballs and I hope that they are working on it (they most likely are). The huge interest in the game and them having to play catch up with the servers can't have been easy either. New vehicle physics are great. Just did a pressure flip in the bus/hippy van. GOTY.

To be fair to the early game jankiness, it's better than it was. I started playing the first day of early access before the game exploded and it wasn't that bad, but it got much worse once it turned into the must play GOTY. The first few patches after that it was dogshit, and so far in 1.0 it seems to be a tenth of what it was just a few months ago. If this was a AAA game and cost $60 I'd feel ripped off, but for what it started out as and for $30 I feel like the game is well worth it.

Everyone should get it. The pros for outweigh the cons. One can dream about 128 tick servers though.

I don't like the new map because of its "realistic terrain". Makes this boy queasy as gently caress, even in third person. I don't like FPP as much for the same reasons, along with the bizarre player scaling, and maybe I just shouldn't be playing this game because if it.

One of the two story buildings on Miramar has a bathroom whose tub has a curtain. Said curtain is actually a solid object and if you don't have a gun out you can hide there without being seen unless they go next to the tub: https://streamable.com/fnpon

My one real complaint about this game is the lack of bullet penetration. Shower curtains, doors, fences, leaves, etc blocking bullets is incredibly frustrating. Maybe it's just because I played so much CS growing up but it really bugs me.

The exception is the pan, which not only does more damage than the rest but also provides you with indestructible butt armor. Melee weapons swing slower than Punch, and don't get the jump bonus Punch does, and a Jump-Headpunch deals 90 damage, enough that any followup slap will kill.

Crossbows I feel need some sort of tracking for the people who use them though (ala Deus Ex); where you can see a tracer stuck to the end of the bolt. It's very hard to figure out where exactly you missed.

Finally started to get the hang of playing FPP, except for the part where I shoot other people without dying. Good thing the new map doesn't have any weapons on the lobby island to practice with.  The leaderboards make no sense, though. Apparently a whopping three top tens and only seven kills in 20+ games is "top 2%" performance, but I can't seem to find any of that bottom 98% to shoot at in game. You would think they'd just be standing around in the open firing into the sky to have worse stats than me.

Good thing the new map doesn't have any weapons on the lobby island to practice with. The majority of the players die super early, so if you're consistently in the top half you actually are "better" than most people. Now, some of those players land at school and either die or get 10 kills and win the game, but 5 90th places and 5 top 10's is going to trash your stats worse than 10 33rd's will.

I dislike the new map. Because the loot levels are about the same as the old map for a given city size but all the loot spots have been dispersed across 30 extra buildings it feels absolutely lovely to loot. There too much land mass compared to the old map so the mid game is boring as gently caress and feels bad if you don't get a car. The fights from midgame on are highly scope dependent, which makes the lovely looting feel even worse. The amount of times we clear out of a town with garbage loot, kill another squad only to find they have even worse loot, happens way too often in Miramar compared with Erangal. They need to get rid of some of the sandpits. Probably like 3 times in ~30 games we've had a latish circle end up in some mountains and have had one of our players get stuck in a hole where they can't climb/move/jump out of it. The "realistic" hilly terrain is great for final circles when you're fighting as a squad, but not great for driving which exacerbates the midgame problem where sometimes even if you have a car you just get hosed because there's no good way to the next circle. I liked having the choice of playing the line or going center zone on the island but now i feel this map skews too much towards needing to play center to avoid getting holed by the zone. I also dont like the 100% yellow color grade of the map, its wearying to play constantly. If they added more vehicles or cut down the land mass and adjusted the loot it would be pretty good. As it stands I hate having to play it 75% of the time.

I really like the new map. Most of the games on it have not been the boring snoozefests I keep hearing about although that has happened occasionally. Not at a higher rate than it happened on Erangel though. The mid-game of a PUBG game being bad is not map dependent. I do agree it's too big though. 100 people is just not enough to fill this sumbitch. And since there's no way I'd trust Bluehole attempting to shoehorn in another 50 people yeah I think I can agree that reducing the accessible landmass would be a good thing.

the new map is  if you have any love for mad max, new vegas or the hills have eyes. it all depends on the kind of character you wish to roleplay in this very serious game that just so happens to feature local world voice chat.

I haven't played squads on the new map yet, but in solo it feels much more tense than Erangal because of all the hiding spots. I can imagine with squads you condense the amount of people per area but in solo all the hiding spots plus the spread out nature of the players seems to enhance the map in certain ways.
