I hate people that play music or just blow into the mic more than I hate the people saying offensive things. But the racism stuff is just unimaginative. There's so much you can do in the minute you have that can be actually funny without just being edgy. Read out the wikipedia page for a hentai or something.

And people who keep voice chat muted 100% of the time are missing out on the post-kill banter when you loot or get looted. I love when people talk during that even if it's just to ask how much they hit you for.

Next month we will be deploying a new, 4x4km island map on our Experimental Test Server for you to try out. It’s a much smaller map and should give you all a much more intense and faster paced Battle Royale experience. It will offer a higher player density and shorter matches and we want to get it into your hands early this time around so we can use your input to make it a great experience for everyone.

We also want to further allow you to customize your character, and both parachute and weapon skins will be added in the future to help with this.

Ehm ... About those umlauts ... In the scandinavian languages that would be pronounced "nerdheym" and mean "home of the nerds". I'm sure they guy is aware of it because the page is riddled with Swedish in-jokes.

That ice hotel would have melted during the summer. Assuming the premise is the same as the other maps - abandoned area - this wouldn't work unless they put it in the Arctic proper (which precludes villages, trains etc).

Yeah, the guy who made it has a Swedish name. It would be great to have more games taking place in the Nordic, p much all Swedish developers seem to have a boner for games taking place in the US.

In before they release the new map on the test server and actually after a bit of internal playtesting we decided that 10x10 km was a much better option

According to TFR goons, the new gun is a FN FAL

I think it's going to be a carbine that starts w/ a 5 round mag and takes sniper attachments, but a tac stock (20 with extendo?). It's the 7.62 mini 14? It's shorter than the SKS so it should be easier to use indoors and from behind cover. Damage probably falls somewhere between SKS and Mini14. Probably dank out to 550m before it starts dropping a ton

Outside chance it has an automatic fire mode with primarily vertical recoil that goes nuts after just a few shots. The sniping recoil should be sick. There are also versions with a bipod

Man I've been wondering what the ideal vertical velocity for long-distance parachuting was forever. I always assumed it was 30. Thanks for that

Who knows where Bluehole will put it. It uses the same cartridge as the m24 but that doesn't mean anything in this game. I just don't see how it will much different that the MK14 really. Might just be old school and not take any attachments other than scope and perhaps mag? They added a rail for the scope but if they keep the rest as an old one they could do that?

At some point it’s going to be hard to differentiate 10 guns if they all have laser accuracy on their first shot. Also, according to an anonymous corgi lover, the new gun is specifically an L1A1 based on the safety or some other control.

This game combines the replayability of an online shooter with that feeling from dark souls and old nes games; you die in the one of final zones and say "wait wait, I see what I did wrong, let me try again!"

That combination of mp competition and single player progression/iteration may be what people see in MOBAs, really. I can't say since they never clicked for me.

And yes, PUBG is the only game that gets my heart racing. I'm about 150hrs clocked and I still get jittery when I'm in the late game.

It has the same thing that makes EVE Online really interesting: a true feeling of loss. When you get taken out of the game, you lose all that time and effort spent preparing for the battle. There no respawning and that gives people a deep stake in each game.

except I won EVE and traded it for simracing which is also pretty exhilerating because it's also a no-respawn time investment you can lose with a single mistake.. Bonus tension for knowing that loving up someone elses race feels like the exact opposite of a chicken dinner

25 hours in and got my first chicken dinner. Almost fumbled it because I'd forgotten I'd set the ump down and ofc I forgot to press B after picking it back up. Nothing like moving across that final empty field, pressing LMB, and hearing a single pathetic "spiff" from the silencer.

It took me way too long to realize that you can hold right-click to aim without iron sights, including from vehicles.

Also, do vehicles seem bouncier to anyone? I think they changed something in the patch. I've never done so many front flips or had so many random 'buggy starts spinning and skidding in bizarre loops'

Yeah, I think the only annoying thing could be that it may be completely rng when you drop. Like if you don’t drop on a gun, you die to someone who did. One of the reasons I don’t like dropping pecado or school every game. Hopefully that’s not the case.

Elman

Yeah, for all of Miramar's flaws my favorite thing about it is that there's tons of towns that are viable landing points and you can usually find a safe landing spot and still be able to fight right away.

If this map still has 100 players landing is going to suck.

NtotheTC

It'll be fine. The games will be much quicker and more brutal for sure and you stand a good chance of losing the loot lottery if you land somewhere busy but what people want is the change of pace. I'd like to be able to do a couple of fast paced games on the small map then maybe switch to one of the large maps for a more sneaky/chilled game

Rotten investigator!
I guess some people will never be happy with what this game offers. Personally whatever people are saying I think that PUBG is one of the rare game where I think that the team actually listens to the community. I'm looking forward to this new map, I like that's it smaller and also looks like it's set in the jungle which sounds awesome (with loving trees). Only thing I could maybe say is that the number of settlements could be increased. Anyway this is only a concept we'll have a clearer view when they release the first version.

What I'm not a fan of is the weapon skins and stuff I mean, does anyone really cares about this poo poo? I guess it makes business sense for them to add that to crates.

no one cares about that poo poo if I am to believe every single CS:GO player I know. no one, they assure me in between rounds of running round the very same handful of maps at 300fps they’ve been playing for >10 years, fully decked out in Hello Kitty themed assault rifles and sidearms
