Yeah I kind of get that. I'm just not sure that anything with huge swathes of water is a good idea, particularly in competition.

If you weren’t invincible in the water, it wouldn’t be that bad.

I like randomness. I like the idea of a wild and crazy circle. I like fog maps that mean I can't use scopes. I like rain that covers the sound of footsteps. I mean, I like these things sometimes the same way I like the other variables sometimes. I'm really surprised to hear the bitching and whining about people wanting every single game to be exactly the same as the last actually resulted in the developers removing features. But I guess when the overwhelming majority wants something...I always feel like the odd one :\

I've heard some hate for the M249 in here, and I'm wondering why. I used it briefly in a match last night (small circle, both teams got caught out in an area with no cover, bloodbath) and it seems like a good weapon out to 75 meters or so. Easily managed recoil, large magazine, doesn't need many attachments. The only problem I can see is that it can burn through a lot of ammo if you're hosing people down, but that's more of a capability of the gun than a necessity, and having 100 rounds in the gun and therefore not taking up weight helps make up for it. I'd only used it once and hated it, but now it seems like it might be a good companion to a 416 or Mini 14 or M16 if you don't have an 8x.

Wait was the reason they removed weather because of people bitching? I thought it was weird performance reasons.

Strictly bitching. People were abandoning fog/rain maps, so you'd drop with 31 afkers.

Half the reason, the other half was that reshade made it so the fog didn't exist.

Too much recoil for not much more damage than a M4/SCAR. Makes you run slow, no single fire mode for long range. It does have good bullet velocity, though and a large mag. A mini 14 is more effective at range and more controllable at close range.

Does it really have that much recoil? It seemed like less than an M4 to me, maybe not?

it has a bipod that deploys if you're prone and drops the recoil significantly

The 249 recoil really isn't that bad. The lack of attachment hunting is strictly a plus. I'd take it over any non crate AR unless I have a fully kitted m4 maybe.

How accurate is the death and match replay stuff for damage given? I depleted someone's health and he still fired off another few rounds that then killed me. Confusing.

I dunno what people mean by 'fog maps that mean I can't use scopes." It made it difficult to spot people, but once you hear gunshots you could scope in on that area and see people's outlines just like looking through smoke, up to like 300 meters.

The reason fog was poo poo was because it rendered differently for different people. I shouldn't be able to just murder someone from 30 meters uphill from them simply because they literally cannot see me while I can see them perfectly. That's real stupid.

Tall grass, bushes, Miramar where you have tiny ridges to crawl along, second story in a building to heal.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

The m249 is the best gun in the game. It has a semiauto sniper damage profile with 100 round box with M4 recoil and tighter spray pattern. Owns.

It's this. Try it yourself, the wall after the first stairway allows you to fall into that exact spot.

It looks like PUBG followed the RGB trend. What would you say makes it any better?
