A week in and it's pretty amazing that the tryhards haven't broken the gameplay yet.

I think the collapsing blue circle has something to do with it.

I was watching Summit1G's stream a couple days ago, it was difficult to have audio on while doing it because he'd be whining in an ear piercing note constantly, audio off wasn't bad.

When my buddy and I see a lot of other players jump out of the plane at the same time as us we create as much distance to others as possible, getting into early fights just isn't worth the risk of the other guys getting the good guns first.

Avoiding contact until late game is definitely the only thing approaching a meta strat this game has. Though, skirting the circle does leave you open to getting wrecked by players who camp the circle and/or get lucky with drops and circle placement. My squad usually tries to stay in the circle as deep as possible at all times because moving is bad and you should feel bad for going across open ground.

It's really down to what you feel comfortable with. Both sides have pros and cons.

Yeah, sticking outside the blue circle early game doesn't hurt too much especially when you're all decked out in gear and 50 bandages. Last night, the driver in my group crashed our car right when we finally made it into the circle, and another squad opened up on us immediately, it was a bloodbath. Please drive safe out there, guys.

if my whole team dies in team play I just hop in a car and drive around like a maniac until I die or the gas runs out

I find that sticking it out lone wolf in a squad match has some benefits, like you won't attract a whole lot of attention, and you don't need to split up the loot you find.

The takedowns look cool and everything, but I can't think of a more superfluous addition to this style of game. So far I've managed to get within touching distance of an enemy exactly one time, and that was mostly just because I wanted to see just how oblivious the guy could be (the answer was very).

I can't count the number of times someone has entered a building I've been camping, having a humiliation kill would be nice when I don't have a frying pan on me at the moment.

The Kar98 is good even if you don't get headshots, the majority of late game combat revolves around peeking behind trees and rocks for a quarter second, and that bolt action rifle suits that style well.

He's turning lag mode on, teleporting enemies to him, shooting them, and turning lag off. If he never toggled the hack's lag mode they wouldn't have remained after the teleportation. That hack isn't really moving the players, it's just giving the hacker a chance to get cheap shots.

That lag mode has some chances to mask your nefarious deeds such as peeking around corners without ever getting shot in return.

I'm pretty sure the 686 can't have a scope, you can put a choke and bullet loops on it, would be nice though!

I don't think I've ever intentionally set foot in pochinki or rozhok. Is either town actually worth fighting in or is "long parachute or car/boat to zharki/lipovka/primorsk/novo" better

They're good towns. Sometimes you'll be surprised how few players will visit towns on the direct flight path.

Speaking of loud vehicles, they need to tone down the braking sound volume, it's freaking LOUD when I'm in the car, maybe they can just lower the volume for players in the vehicle and keep it loud for others.

e: though I suppose this could just be people who haven't figured out that you can toggle between group/all voice chat? I can't recall ever meeting people who used ingame voice until I switched to the NA servers, so I'm not really sure how that works

Switching the in-game voice chat to team only doesn't do anything about silencing yourself to enemies.
