I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?

I'm not denying it happens, but at least FPP/EU seems to have a lot less cheating from what I hear.

OK so I know PUBG is the game where this kind of thing will happen to you, but feel free to point out everything I should have done to not die here. I was convinced there was someone upstairs in the house since it was the only compound in the circle and the door was open, but I wasn't ready for the guys hiding in the grass outside. (Note the minimap, not just one guy).

You didn't check out the door when you went outside, and you don't have to go outside to grenade the landing. You can bounce it off the wall onto the landing with some practice.

Other than that,there's not much to do to avoid a dude in that position.

Happens to me too, and I have an SSD. My question is, does this NOT happen to everyone? Because a couple of times lately its left me pretty loving vulnerable to anyone NOT frozen in place for 3 to 6 seconds.

I used to experience a bug in CS:GO that would swap left/right channels if I plugged in my USB soundcard (that I used with my headphones) after starting the game instead of beforehand. Took a few times getting shot in the arse to figure that one out.

Died to a hacker in FFP Duos the other night in what was probably the saddest instance of cheating I've personally experienced. The hacker was also shepherding another (more legit) duo. The pair would follow the hacker around at a safe distance while letting him get all the kills. Looked up the stats for their one game played. Cheater had 17kd with one loss. The duo had 1 kill between them for their only win. Not hard to deduce how that game played out.

I think the point was that they didn't merely follow the hacker, they killed the hacker after the hacker killed everyone else for an easy win.

From catching people out cheating at large organised Lans and events back in the day they are literally some of the saddest people who need to validate their existence beating people online via any means possible, that or just poo poo head kids who love ruining everything just because they can. People are the worst though not just in videogames.

They were all new accounts but only the hacker had a gibberish name so I guess the other two don't expect to be banned. It's probably just a trio of teens and only one of them bothered to buy hacks.

It's either use of a throwaway account to cheat while avoiding bans on the "real" accounts by automated 3rd party program detection or Chinese farmers are selling it as a service to pump up accounts. Extra bonus points if the hacking account used a stolen credit card number to buy the game (a common thing with Chinese farmers).

what others have said about playing the angles is very pertinent, but also know that you can peak that type of staircase by jumping up and down at the bottom and it doesn't leave you that exposed to fire from most hiding spots on the landing. if there is a guy upstairs and he's peaking out of one of the rooms then where you were placing your grenade probably wouldn't have flushed him out anyway.

I reported a guy on the PUBG forums which was how you were supposed to do it before there was a report button... got a reply a MONTH later saying the guy had been banned. Dude had like a 40KDR or something when I reported him.

They aren't doing poo poo about hackers. These guys should be autobanned at the very least after their 2nd or 3rd game with 35+ kills. It can't be that loving hard to run some simple metrics. Also dude must have had like 100+ reports.

why does bluehole not have an autoban thing. it's impossible to have 65 kda from a single match let alone over the course of a bunch of games.

Me and a couple of goons have had KDR’s that high before. If your team wins, you don’t take a death in your stats, even if you died. So if you roll a bunch of easy games early season it’s more than possible. Or if you just go play on Asia and you’re any good.

So apparently you can queue exclusively for miramar or erangle by renaming a few files: https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/7tqwyd/so_i_took_the_miramar_files_out_of_the_game_and/

I'd love to do that, but worry it will result in a ban eventually.

Same!

In a recent :doh: moment; ~10 people left on Erangel. tough circle placement, straddling the wide river in the south, with only a tiny sliver of land to the north. I was on the north/wrong side, so started to swim across and was being shot by a gillie-suit clad sniper also on the same side. He and I both realized we were hosed as the circle was shrinking shortly and moving across the river, but we also realized there was a boat between us. We both broke for it, and got there at nearly the same time. He... got in the drivers seat, and (probably unbeknownst to him) I got in behind him.

What I should have done: nothing! sat quietly in the back until we cleared the circle (maaaaybe try to heal - but that prob would have given me away). He couldn’t see me, as we were in FPP and I was directly behind him. Then try to pick him off at the other shore.

What I did do: shoot him in the back, killing him. The boat stops, and I die outside the play zone due to low health. Oops. Had I had chat on, I’m sure he would have had some choice words. :angel:

Had a hilarious time the other day. I dropped on triple islands solo on Miramar and managed to stay in the next three circles on the small island. Got a long distance kill with a Kar98 and an 8x. Ended up getting top 4 because another guy came right up to the shore I ended up having to swim to. If I had remembered to park the boat in the circle I might have had a shot. Whoops!

Also the guy I killed was getting lit up, so my post game screen showed 20 kill points and 0 hit points.

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."

I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!


After not being able to play for a few days I spent most of yesterday afternoon playing (poorly). However during that run was one of the most ridiculous games I've been a part of.

Drop into a pretty populated zone. I had planned to duck into the adjacent building to get guns when I notice someone running at me so I figured "gently caress it" and squared up. We're trading punches and I'm almost dead when the other player starts running away, so I take off after them. After about 5 minutes of them trying to get separated from me, they try to zig out of the way and zagged into a punch I finally timed right and die.

We were just over a hill from a group of buildings so I figured I'd run there and hope I could get some useful items. As I'm almost over the crest of the hill another, fully armed player, comes into view. I am resigned to dying instantly, but apparently they did not see me and kept running past me. So I started chasing them.

This chase didn't last very long because they didn't know I was there and when they slowed down, I punched him in the back of the head. They spun, killed me, then died looting my empty corpse.
