Patch + test patch dropped, I think to myself, maybe the game is better now, maybe there's less lag and lovely performance, could perhaps be worth playing a bit again

perhaps not

It's almost like it's an unfinished build of the game.

Honestly there should be no knockdown/revive mechanic in this game at all.

Disagree. I was in a squad game last night where a sniper downed one of our squadmates and left him bleeding out in an attempt to bait one of us out to help him.

Got my first solo chicken dinner last night, and picked up 8 kills along the way. 9 if you count someone I zoned out of the circle. What a rush!

The real pro strat with grenades is to throw a stun/frag to mask you opening a door.

You just open the door when the stun/frag explodes?

It's something I did when I was solo vs a squad. I downed one of them on the second floor of one of those houses with the staircases in the middle of the house. I lobbed a grenade at them through the second floor balcony door where I shot them then breached on the explosion. When I got up to the second floor they all were moving back into position watching the balcony door and I was able to pick up a 3k.

That's the biggest problem I have with this game. I want to wear a ridiculous purple jacket or the awful beige one but it feels like I'd be putting myself at a disadvantage by making myself more noticeable.

One of my favorite parts of PUBG is that it truly makes visual cover meaningful, something games have gotten extremely wrong or ignored for years mostly due to technical limitations. Hiding in tall grass and stalking someone is something I've been wanting the ability to do in a game for years.

My first ever solo win ended with me spending 3 minutes crawling through tall grass like big boss to get a flank on the last person alive. It was absolutely incredible.

Edit: the best part was at like 2:45 or so into the 1v1 he just started panic throwing grenades. He knew I was out there somewhere but he didn't know where and it made me feel so awesome. He must have been making GBS threads his pants.

If you're in the last 2 or 3, is it worth it to drop your backpack to make yourself less noticeable? I was thinking about that based on grass chat earliers. If you're so light that you don't need your backpack at that point in the game, then just drop it regardless, but if you're carrying heavy, maybe drop some extra ammo and stuff you don't need because if it's just down to a 1v1, odds are you won't need 300 rounds of 5.56. More like 60, tops.

The thrill of the early and late game is unmatched for me. But the midgame is awful. People are still looting or waiting for the circle to get smaller. I'm not sure how they can fix this or speed up the midgame.

Grimmmz also legitimately won a game using only a pistol and crossbow last night as well. He can click fast enough that it's practically like a micro uzi anyway.

If they ever add a bandana I will win a game using just a m1911 and slap the snake eater/peace walker osts all over the video.

Is there a generally accepted rifle tier list? For lack of a better word.

I tend to favor them like: SCAR-L > M4 = AKM > M16. I don't know if the M16 is actually the worst though.

I haven't had a chance to play since the new patch dropped. How do sunsets look? I'm assuming there are longer shadows to take advantage of? I'm also guessing clear skies is the same as partly cloudy or whatever the default is.

So some guy killed me while I was in a buggy and while that's not the issue, I watched the killcam afterwards and noticed the entire time he aimed at me he was aiming like 5 feet off to the side. His reticle never once actually went over me or the buggy.

Is the game just bugged or did I run into my first cheater?

Bullets have travel time. He was leading you so the bullets would reach you in time.

Some of hot drops can be RNG, but that's what happens when you drop somewhere with 5+ people. I've been dropping water treatment pretty consistently and I can pick up 3 to 4 kills and get a lot of good gear if I don't get smoked immediately. Sometimes you drop hot and don't find what you need. That's why new games start within 2-3 minutes after joining a lobby.

Where do ya'll like to drop on the new map? My squad is looking for a "default" drop spot cuz we hate going somewhere new every match (we went Rozhok every time on the old map). So far we haven't found a place that's A) not super popular and B) has enough loot for a 4 man squad. Any thoughts?

Water Treatment and Graveyard are two super underrated drop points that have a high density of loot. Graveyard is also right next to a mine and the big crater town, so you have options after you win/loot it.
