The red zone will be awesome if it destroys buildings. They did in Arma 3 BR.

It gets better, the actual playable size is like 1x1 because almost half of it's water.

Literally the best part of the patch notes is they further reduced the ambient noise on night time Vikendi. And then they removed Vikendi from the rotation

They fixed Vikendi, and since it was perfect and could no longer be improved, they hit the 'delete map' button to keep the legacy intact. And/or they couldn't figure out how to add a 5th map to the lobby screen (this is the real reason)

The real reason is map saturation and queue time and it totally makes sense. Vikendi was my least favorite map, mainly because everyone has the best item in the game with ~40 up and took zero risk to get it.

Sticky bombs seems tremendously more fair than frags and should replace frags on all maps, and also instead of a red zone with artillery shelling, have a rain of sticky bombs.

VulgarandStupid posted:So Erangel is still the only good map? Miramar, Vikendi, and this new map all are easily salvagable, but it's pretty clear that Bluehole aren't capable of fixing them. Erangel was a happy accident and it's a miracle they didn't gently caress it up too badly in the visual update. I honestly want to know who the gently caress is setting the loot tables though. Are the bigger regions just loving nuts about not having loot? Why is there just nothing on the new map's loot tables? Why are there not enough meds on Erangel/Miramar/new map to even heal your body even after looting half a city and killing five dudes? Who thought "3x max scopes, maybe a 4x in a crate" was good for the new map? How did these things even come up as an idea?

After they bumped up the SR/DMR spawn rate on Vikendi you would literally walk through buildings and find 3-4 M24s. It went from being way too low to way too high.

karakin will be fine once the loot is made better, i really like the terrain and being able to blow holes in stuff makes for some super interesting fights, the bad part comes when you're running around midgame with a pump shotty and an m16 with no scope also make the siren quieter

That map will be hell on Earth on squads. And even more of a clusterfuck that happens mid game when you have all those various pings interacting with one another as the circle shrinks smaller. I guess I look forward to only playing Miramar and Erangel. Good bye MP5k you were the best.

I'm confused as to why you think this. The map is definitely bad for squads though (it has nothing to do with pings interacting or whatever that means though).

I haven't played PUBG in a little over a year. What are some of the big changes they've made that I should be aware of because I kind of have the urge to start playing again.

SalTheBard posted:I haven't played PUBG in a little over a year. What are some of the big changes they've made that I should be aware of because I kind of have the urge to start playing again. Gunplay, the best part of this game imo, is largely unchanged. They weakened 5.56 just a bit. They added a scope to the Winchester which actually makes it a viable thing to pick up early game on Miramar (and fun to use). A bunch of stuff happened with Vikendi, but it's out of the map rotation currently so I guess that doesn't matter to you. Flare guns are in the game, they are pretty rare and cool to use actually. You can call in a crate, or a BDRM (a big rear end amphibious tank vehicle that you cannot get shot out of. It has a decent amount of health and is really fun in the end games to drive around with the engine cut off). Erangel got a huge visual update and looks nice. The loot is pretty solid on it as well. They added a few areas of hard/terrain cover around the map as well. You can heal while moving now. Healing also isn't instant, it's 2-3 large upticks after you get it off. There is a big rear end shotgun in crates now (it sucks). You can throw melee weapons at people. You can fly gliders in Erangel/Miramar. Spike strips are a thing (it will pop the tires and slide your car out if you run it over). I'm probably missing a ton of stuff. A bunch of UI/lobby stuff added for stats, player ID's, weapon mastery poo poo.

What I'm trying to say is that by third or fourth circle regardless of the map, my frames drop considerably, poo poo starts stuttering really badly, and more often than not it happens when those that are left are converging into the smaller area. Oh and then getting melted by someone from Asia while in the middle of all that poo poo happening who shows that they're moving smoothly on Death Cam. Then there's always that fun and somewhat rare thing of being in a specific part of a map or running through it and all of a sudden your ping spikes like crazy. Like you move to the left or right and it normalizes, and but going back to that spot everything starts stuttering and showing considerable packet loss and ping spikes.

Well on the plus side, if you play super aggressive, your high ping is a tremendous advantage in fights as long as you are able to look at the enemy.

I don't know what to tell you, but this doesn't happen to the great majority of the player base and death cams aren't accurate and never have been. Death cams are for specifically showing where the player came from when you died. Nothing else about it is good or matters. Like, 600,000 people wouldn't still be playing this game if they got stuck in some sort of ping spike stutter whenever end game happens. Is your internet good? CPU/GPU good? On an SSD? Turn down settings? Like, what you are describing is not a super common thing.

It seems to be slightly more prevalent lately, but it ebbs and flows. I went a long time without seeing a single hacker, but the last few days I've been killed at least once per day by someone who's played 5-8 games, winning all of them (or all but 1), with a 7-10 KDR.
