Everyone should at least start the download since its free for the first 100hr if release. Maybe 2 days left?

Matchmaking is shot. In an hour I found 2 games. I had more fun with it than pubg though

It's pretty... not good. I mean its kind of what you expect, so it's a little funny and wonky, but it somehow performs worse than pubg in pretty much every way, which is kind of the point, but its really not great. Especially since I tried like 4 different times to get in a game, waited like 15-20m each time before giving up, but finally got into a game on my last try.

The few games I managed to get in last night before the servers borked themselves were more fun than I ever had in PUBG, the jankiness just amplified it.

TABG runs at 30fps on my 2012 era i5 laptop with no GPU, and it's free, sold. Is there not a thread for this? Or is this now the unofficial TABG thread?

TABG owns and is currently the best BR game, in all of its wonderful jank.

I zapped a dude with my tazer crossbow (which made him drop his gun and convulse on the ground) and my friend ran up with dual boxing gloves and pounded their face into the dirt.

TABG is great if for no other reason than when prone, you can fit through gaps the size of a quarter, like a squid

And the 'periscope barrel' that causes your bullets to be fired 2 meters off your aim

You've got to match it with the periscope sight (parrot included)

Pro tip anyone with the volley arrows grenade, throwing it straight up DRASTICALLY increases the portal hole from which arrow death will rain down upon you.

Also pro tip - quit, verify integrity of game files, and launch again if you want to play the game. It wouldn't join for me until I did that, now games load almost instantly.

I was briefly famous last night when me and another goon were killed by Shroud and Just9n.

Brief in that he murdered me so casually and quickly that I was only on his stream for less than 5 seconds.

My duo was in a firefight with the 2nd guy he killed. What amazes me is that he got shot by the 2nd guy, approaches the house to kill him and still has the presence of mind to hear my footsteps, spin, kill me, and then continue on as if nothing happened.

(infamously not great at pubg goon) Three phase killing shroud chad and choco while proned with no cover in the middle of a street in a drawn out multi minute engagement was the best kill of pros/streamers by locals. I doubt the skill differential will ever be topped.

I thought he got shroud and chadd, with choco and Justin eventually breaking off and just flopping about for the rest of the match.

I have no idea how TABG has 30k people online, no matter what server I try to join I either get sent back to the title screen or thrown into a server by myself.

Played TABG for about half an hour with a friend. That was about enough time I reckon. It did make us laugh a lot, which is kind of the point I guess.

Then we played sniper war mode for the rest of the night, and that was actually really fun. Closest thing we've had to a shooting range for practising sniping with a very common loadout.

Choco killed threephase. Choco and just9n went on to win that match in the forest above Mylta Power.

Played TABG for about four hours with a friend. Personally, I like it a fair bit more than PUBG for a few reasons:
1) More weapon variety means you're never going to get the same weapon twice, you make do with what you have (true battle royale style)
2) The floppy arms/aiming means try-harding is out, thus it's much easier to have "fun"
3) The final circle mechanic is amazing fun
4) It's 20 seconds warmup between games rather than 60 (and that's bare minimum, when you consider flight/loading/parachuting times TABG is a shitton faster into the action)
5) Dual-wielding is just excellent



I imagine the breakdown is "if you like really tight gameplay and knowing that your skill will win you games" = PUBG, and if you're not in that top 20% of gamers TABG will be a lot more fun/rewarding


e: also if you tried earlier and just got server/connection issues, try again, they fixed a ton of them yesterday/today

Probably more likely because there is no firing delay anymore if your gun was not raised.

Hopping on TABG on US2 with a couple other goons if anyone is interested. "Hadlock" on Steam or https://steamcommunity.com/id/hadlock11

I think it's still free for the next hour or two

I was able to play a game this morning (CET) but now it's all "Server is busy".

Edit: Oh hey I got in!

How to keep track of the circles though... I found a car but someone else took it first. The distances you have to run are just amazing right now.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


I started this season playing more serious and made it to top 100 solo FPP after my 3rd win in 80 games. Feels pretty cool.
