Is there a known issue with equipment being viewed incorrectly in deathcam? I just lost an encounter with a guy who, according to the replay, started out with a level 1 backpack, level 1 helmet, and depleted level 2 vest. He turns around and kills me, then you see his equipment list as a level 3 backpack, and a depleted level 3 vest.

Spectator mode and death cam are totally borked, and they've been that way for a while.

A while back, there was a bug where it showed a lvl 3 helmet as a hat on replays. But this was before they moved level 3 helmets to crates only.

e: come to think of it I think it was the ballistic mask

Just bought this game last weekend. Been waiting for the desync fix. First kill was on a rooftop. Myself and a squadmate parachuted onto a roof with an enemy. Said enemy punched my squadmate unconscious. I then punched the enemy unconscious, then crouched down and punched him to death. Luckily my noob self remembered to revive my squadmate afterwards :v:

I played in a squad game with friends and we ended up getting into a fight with a squad full of other internet people I knew, and no one planned dropping together

My eyebrows shot into the roof, what are the odds of this even happening?

Odds are decent, actually, as long as your playing the same mode (TPP/FPP, squad/duo/solo, map selection) and in the same region. Just queue up near the same time and you're more likely than not to be in the same game.

That's why there are so many stream snipers for popular streamers, or at least were back when streamers still played this game.

No, but parts of the gunplay really kicks off an Action Quake 2 vibe and I do not know why.

To add to the above answer, Bohemia Interactive made OF, then ARMA, then ARMA II, then PlayerUnknown made a Battle Royale mod for ARMA II, then BI made ARMA III, then PU made a Battle Royale mod for ARMA III, then PU made PUBG (and other stuff), so the lineage is clearly there

E: I guess technically PU made Battle Royale a mod for the DayZ mod of ARMA II, since he kept the zombies and stuff in. For ARMA III, he scrapped the zombies and made a mod that was fully his own vision

Seriously though it's going to be extremely difficult to discern whether two or more teams are working together against the rest of the field simply because it is a perfectly reasonable play to look directly at another team and choose not to fire to avoid giving away your position and potentially get flanked, and it's also a reasonable play to start shooting at a third team when the other team starts firing first. It's a huge advantage, though, if you could collude with another group to pinch other teams and start taking them out.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

what are the chances the original collectors edition items ever go back up in value?

However bad PUBG is, remember that before it all you had was DayZ, and DayZ fuckin sucked poo poo.

Well, there was Arma 2 and Arma 3 battle royale before PUBG. Arma 3 BR was pretty fun and not bad.

DayZ is not a battle royale game at all, no denying it sucks a lot though.

Dungeon Ecology
Feb 9, 2011

DayZ was a pile of garbage compared to PUBG, and i play PUBG, but credit where credit is due: it was the first game I played that gave me the battle royale feel. once you learned how not to die to zombies, the real game revolved around the tense interactions between other players.

also the erangel map feels heavily lifted from DayZ.

but yeah most games ended with you breaking your leg on stairs for no reason and starving to death in a field.

How loud we talking? Scooter, old creepy fog noise, Erangel rain, plane, red zone?

e: also does everyone else remember how loving loud and annoying the ambient noise used to be? Glad they got rid of that.

I tried using the snowmobile as a road kill weapon but it's so slow and offers no protection. Worst of all, it doesn't even have a horn. I give the new map a 1/10, dead game.
