You have to say I can open my presents
I like Sanhok and Erangel and don't particularly like Vikendi or Miramar.

Miramar is too barren and Vikendi is too white and too laggy.

Night time Vikendi plays really really smooth. And doesn't have the snow particle effects. Flash hiders actually become a useful option which is nice.

We were playing on test servers and had constant lag spikes/packet loss. Sometimes it would be just one of us. Sometimes all of us would get it at the same time.

Test server that's sort of normal since they aren't as spread out over the planet like the normal servers are. So the ping is all over the place.

I'm just salty the console version of pubg has their NA servers in Texas, while Pc servers are only in Ohio. :argh:

the footage is from december 2018 through july 2019, so all before new erangel went live. new erangel was a little worse for driving (mostly from new doodads in places like prison and mylta power) but we still got stuff done. we stopped playing when they took map select out

That's pretty much what happened with my squad of cars-only people. No map select means you spend 30 minutes leaving and rejoining before you get Erangel. And then there's always that one guy on the team who lands somewhere hot and gets iced in the first three minutes (while yelling at you that you should be helping even though you're in Komeshki and he's in Ferry Pier).

Agreed, except for the mp5k that gun is a beast and super fun to use. And what's up with the initial placement of Vikendi circles they feel like they always go as far as they can.

It makes way more sense since they added damage multipliers to smgs and made the vector/mp5k loving lasers that just spew bullets. But yeah Vikendi is the reason I was forced to get decent with the M24, I'll drop that poo poo like the plague if I can find an SLR or SKS tho.

i love how they added the MP5K to Vikendi only, then removed the Vector from Vikendi, but kept the Uzi. What, is 3 SMGs that use 9mm too many, but 2 is just right?

They basically have the same philosophy with the SCAR-L, on Erangel and Miramar, QBZ on Sanhok, G36C on Vikendi. It's two for, ARs, SMGs. MP5k and Vector need all the same parts to make them viable guns. Only the MP5 can use two more grips, and fires a hair slower.

I've noticed a lot of whining going on reddit where they want all guns on all maps. What is your guys opinion on this? Personally I don't think it would go over well because it would make it harder to find the guns you want.

Reddit just sucks. They all want Sanhok level loot if they're not outright asking to land fully kitted. I think the scarcity aspect of it is part of the game, and you shouldn't be able to get your exact preferred weapon within 1 minute of landing every time. I like having variety between the maps and I think it'd be great to expand on the "gold mirado" type of ideas.

Now, I wish they'd make more of the guns viable. Adding the scope to the winny is a step in the right direction. Being able to toss things is going to make the machete/crowbar/etc more useful.

That and you should be able to requeue without going back to the lobby, especially on console. That extra loading time sucks.

Erangel and the gun play was near perfect from the start imo. It's what allowed the game to be so janky for so long.

What’s the point of these changes for non-top tier guns?

As long as the M4 and KAR are on all maps then none of the rest of them really matter. I guess the Vector is kind of top tier though, but no one cares when you can or can’t have a rhino or nagant.

I've always wanted pistols to be cs:go style. An almost instant switch from your main gun to fire, super accurate from the hip and strafe position, with a nice crosshair and did great damage to the head. It would probably be worth carrying one if that were the case.

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine almost exactly like this, where he was saying that your playstyle should eventually give you slight buffs to what you do more of, you tend to be a pack rat give a slight buff to hold more poo poo, explore the map more, slight increase to luck in finding the more rare loot, win a chicken dinner, keep the gear and armor you won with for next map.

I was like are you crazy? The whole point is everyone starts off equal, the player base is already experienced enough that there are rarely new people playing the game to be encountered regularly. Adding stat buffs that are permanent with no downsides would break each map and force meta to be played one way eventually just making the game incredibly boring. He was basically trying to justify putting in COD and or Fallout BR perks and stats into it.

Also the M4 isn't the end all be all anymore. Damage on it kinda really sucks, it fires like a laser when fully attached, but to me there are better options if you can just come across an AR Comp and pretty much any grip. The Beryl has been awesome for me as far as damage output and firing rate.

Yeah your friend has terrible ideas

Sure the Beryl packs a punch but controlling the spray is way harder than it is with the M4
