Because my squadmates died, I decided to do something completely ridiculous and found a great tactic for those zones ending near the beach. 1: Find a boat 2: Park boat near the beach 3: Float behind boat so you can't be shot from the beach 4: Wait until the zone is very tiny, then dive under the boat and beach yourself like the fat whale you are 5: Shoot at unsuspecting players because who the gently caress spends all this time in the water 6: ??? For bonus hilarity points, you can also jump in the boat as a passenger and fire at people, but that tends to draw a bit of attention. Got my squad alone from 78 players still alive to until 2 teams remained, me and 3 guys on the other team. Did not win, but will definitely try this again if conditions are suitable.

I feel like squads are 90% about someone having an idea and calling the shots and 10% execution. People playing this game have the most absurd ideas on how to approach the end zones.

Man, Buane your game looks just like mine. Except I was playing squads and my 2 teammates died and left me to fend myself with 80 alive. I murdered the entire squad of 4 that had killed them, looted an m4 and a silencer, drove to the absolute middle of the whitezone and hid in a bush in the middle of a wheat field. Then I proceeded to narrate how this is what we do in the special forces, while nothing happened for like 15 minutes. When the zone closed in, I just kept dropping people who wandered in paying no attention to murderbush. Then I crawled around the zone until the last members of the last remaining squads started shooting one another, one killed the other and promptly died into the zone, leaving me (and my squad) as the winners. What I'm saying is, don't give up if you're alone in squads. Just be a field, or a bush.

I did a solo squad again, but this time I recorded it. It's got everything you can expect from a PUBG video. A shameful AFK kill, terrible driving, a loot crate and 27 minutes of sitting in a house followed by 5 minutes of something resembling action all spiced with some godawful aiming. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJvzxJvNkAs (8 out of 9 kills happen in the last 6 minutes) cyanidewolf fucked around with this message at 16:58 on May 10, 2017 |

Bardeh posted:Yeah, they for sure fiddled with something in this latest patch because it has seemed to make things much worse overall. The weird thing is that some games are fine, some are complete shitshows. Also, on the whole the Asian servers are running really well for me now, but NA is horrible a lot of the time. The player count hasn't gone up appreciably since the patch, and they use AWS anyway which scales based on demand, so I wonder what causes it to be so variable from game to game? This patch also introduced some weird pop-up for me that throws me to the desktop in the first match I play after starting the game. I'm suspecting it's got something to do with BattleEye. Dunno if I'm the only one with this particular issue, though.

There should also still be a dialog box unless you manually exit out of it. Yeah, can't find any BE related logs either. It's just a mild annoyance in the first 5 minutes of the first game after starting PUBG. I guess I'll just hope they patch it out or something

There's actually two ways to get credited with a kill when you DBNO someone. In order of priority they should be: 1) Kill their drat squad 2) Kill them If, for some reason, you can't do 1, then do 2. Your squad has the same options, and if they do 2 and you get mad, then re-evaluate your life choices. Also, if you care who loots a body.

Every time I play on NA, AS or OC, it's like a turkey shoot, easy top5 or even a chicked dinner. But on EU it's like you're the turkey - you get lit up from multiple angles the second you leave cover. Dropping in hot contested areas like school or military base is essentially suicide. Is your rank the same in each region?

I don't know what ELO you're referring to, but going SMG/AR over AR/Sniper is a dumb idea unless it's duos/squads where someone else brings the snipers. If you need to fight CQC, just flip the M16 on burst.

fargom posted:But is the sniper a better choice than a rifle at 200m against a moving target? I'd much rather have the M16 4x scope to take shot after shot, and walk them into the target. Maybe I'm just bad but I've stopped picking up snipers 100% But if you were running an AR and a sniper, this comparison would be irrelevant. What you should be doing is comparing a sniper against an SMG or a shotgun. Which of those provides an option (ranged OHK) that is not available for any other weapon?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Close OHK is an option available to shotguns and not other weapons. Snipers let you kill people far away, that's what they're good for. ARs also let you kill people far away, that's what they're good for. The AK is nice up close but probably not as nice as a shotgun. This is true. If you play so that you end up in shotgun range more than in sniper range, then you should run with AR/shotgun.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Well, even if you're in sniper range way more often than shotgun range, you already have a gun that's Pretty Good at that range. Having something covering a truly distinct range instead of "long range but a little better" may well be worthwhile even if it only comes up 1 in 10 games. I have plenty of shotgun kills in the top 10 - they're pretty nice for those times you manage to sneak close to someone even if it doesn't come up that often. Turns out AR is Pretty Good at any range.

One more shotgun anecdote: If you're playing at a ping disadvantage (EU->NA) or similar, you might notice shotguns (and crossbows/snipers) acting very weirdly. You may see blood-splatter from direct hits, but if another player hits you simultaneously and has better ping, the anti-trade system in place will negate all of your damage and just knock you down instead because you were "slower". Before the system many firefights ended with all the participants dead/downed and apparently this was a bad thing. The system right now isn't much better however, which is why things that shoot more bullets are better at a ping disadvantage because at least they may clip some of the health off the trade winner unlike things that do a whole bunch of damage all at once. They should improve the anti-trade to leave the winner at 1hp instead of voiding all of the damage from the other player. Harry Potter on Ice posted:Why do you carry the SMG at all if not for close range encounters? If ARs are the only thing you use why even pick up a secondary? Bad players greatly over estimate ARs and greatly underestimate SMGs and shotguns. Because it was probably the first gun I picked up, I don't know. I usually carry 5.56 and a 7.62 AR if I can't find a sniper just to diversify the ammo I may pick up from the bodies I loot. Also bad players. Heh.

People popping off with AR's late draw every single persons attention to them. Bad players say the darndest things. I guess I need to play more because in 548 hours I've yet to find this magical creature who dominates the mid/late game with an SMG or a shotgun.
