I had some trouble with my GeForce Experience settings, otherwise I would have treated you to a nice and quiet jetski tour around the islands east of Miramar, followed by a leap off the lighthouse cliff.

BTW, in case anyone's wondering, the loot up there is nothing special, same as the mainland.

I hope the three guys I left on the first island had a nice firefight before the last one died to the zone.

Those three islands rule, particularly the farthest north one. Always some lvl3 gear and kar98's. Also if the boat/ski doesnt spawn you can swim pretty easily, although it takes a couple minutes. I've never died to the blue landing there.

GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
Had a crazy good luck duo game last night. Circle down to the very end was in the city I landed in. Pretty sure my dead friend's body was in the final circle. An early crate landed right on a roof that I got an AWM from, uncontested. Got my first AWM kills as a result and got to the final circle. 5 were left, I knocked one as the circle was shrinking, and as it continued, all 3 remaining players just...died at once, presumably from the blue. So like, my blood pressure was super high as I'm looking for this guy's friend and then...nothing, just you win.

That first one is really well played, especially that smooth jump up. Did you end up dying to the zone? The second has lovely spray control+transfer (although you did kinda let your friend die with that greedy first aid!). Nice clips.

I ended up placing second but running in from the zone forced me to use my last first aid and i had to 1v7 after with only bandages. Got it down to 1v3 and knocked 2 but alas...


We won the mesa game because everyone else was running in from the zone so i just shot them from up top while my remaining teammate ran interference down below.

I had one of those wins last night in a duo (I can't believe I didnt notice that guy up on the hill on the right side of my screen)

This was after, two circles previous, my game crashed while the circle was closing and I was adsing on a dude running up a hill in front of me. Luckily I was walking forward so I made it into the circle with just a sliver of life left while I rebooted

The nice thing about the old teammate color scheme was that it was garish enough that you wouldn't shoot them out of hand (or delay yourself from shooting them) like you might with the new one. Squad member #1 (yellow) just blends the gently caress into 95% of Miramar's backgrounds.

In my experience Chinese players always call directions using English letters, so if you hear gunfire you can scream "EN DOUBLEYOU EN DOUBLEYOU" or whatever and that should get the point across. If you learn numerals you can also give the precise bearing.

*the hacker is not the guy I run over in the video, its a different guy who had his aimbot set to center mass so I knocked him 3 times with a kar98 while he full autoed into the dune infront of me from 300 meters with an AK, then his buddy got him up and he eventually got high enough to hit me :(

3rd person camera gives you more advantage to use overlay hacks like WH etc. Also, it's just the original, and much more popular, game mode.

Ooh good point. I didn't know that about the English Letters, good to know.
It'll be awhile before I memorize numbers.

1.Crude direction (E, S, W, N)
2.Compass direction (if time) (numbers)
3.Type/object
4.Distance, simple (near far)

I sometimes wish there was a chat box, but the lack of one adds to the tension I think.

It sort of makes sense. We've already established that many people get very angry at dying in a game where 99% of the time you will be among the dead. TPP is a mode where you can literally hide completely behind cover and still look around to ambush people, so they probably feel safer.

yeah i was just joshing. when i first got the game had 2 chicken dinners in the first 4 games and 5 or 6 thatt first weekend. i switched to fpp once that became a thing and have yet to get a din din in it.

it's funny seeing the gaming cultural divide too. all the top english speaking streamers play fpp but when there's chinese or korean streamers at the top they;re playing tpp.

Even on the English streamer side, I remember when FPP first came in, most of the big streamers hated it and refused to play it. People are resistant to change. Look at all the hate the new map gets from big streamers.

I personally prefer FPP by a wide margin even if I suck at it (and PUBG in general), because at the very least anybody who wants to keep eyes on me has to risk getting shot to do so. It doesn't usually help, but at least I can tell myself I had a chance.

the new map is kinda bad in that it has way too much open area and i never seem to find vehicles. the areas with actual buildings are good as hell though. the map really needed to be smaller than the original like 2/3 the size there was no reason to make a same size map.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

yeah originally it was to be 4x4. They should just shrink by half without getting rid of any buildings.

agreed. i remember hearing it was going to be much smaller and being super excited but then all of sudden everyone was reporting it was the same size and i'm thinking what are those jokers at bluehole thinking.

I don't disagree with there being too much space that's pointless, but even the open areas feel less death-trappy to me than on the old map. The old map has so many places that are literally open fields with no cover where you're just going to have to run through a massive, coverless kill zone people are already camping, or just take a buggy and storm through it.

Speaking of storming things with a buggy, though: Last night I was playing 3-man squads with friends and we dropped a ways off the flight path and found three buggies in close proximity. After dicking around playing bumper cars with the buggies like retards for a few minutes, we just took our buggy convoy across the map. Whenever we drew fire from buildings, we'd split out in different directions (with no real plan in mind) and basically suicide rush them from all directions. We took out a couple squads with full-retard shock tactics before we died, and it is probably the most fun I've had in PUBG ever.

Buggy Squad, best squad.

The old map was kind of boring and most fights ended up with people hugging trees or the occasional rock. Now they got rid of the trees and lessened the number of rocks. Possibly more important than the loss of the tree trunks themselves, the canopy cover that broke up sight lines is gone. Fights generally take place only in cities or over long distances in the open where it’s impossible to move up since there’s no cover. That’s bad.
