But if I muted global chat, where else would I hear random Hitler speeches while on the plane, or the occasional hilarity of an impromptu fistfight between everyone who landed at the same compound while one of the randoms blasts John Cena's theme over global?

you could random squads or duos and listen to your teammate do that instead, and let him loot a bunch of poo poo and tk him with the sawed off

Communist Q posted:

You can judge it based off the markings on a scope. Each scope has various range finding points based on their characters size relative to the markings that you can memorize. Wackyjacky101 on YouTube has some pretty great videos on the subject if you can spare 30 minutes on the subject.

thats cool, is there a cheat sheet I can just put up on my second monitor?

Yeah it's those videos on repeat you lazy shithole. Can't someone do it for me?

I totally want to watch a 30 minute video on repeat just to figure out what the markings mean instead of just looking at a quick graphic that has all that same information without the hassle

I just started playing after a few months break and Jesus, once you hit the top tier the aimbotters are rampant. It's not even subtle. Guy inside of building suddenly a 180 and plugs you from 300m away. So drat blatant. staring at the wall directly pointed at me as he moved to a window.

Maybe It's because the Aussie server is 75% with Chinese players with strings of numbers and letters as names



edit: lol yep https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/12/99-percent-of-battlegrounds-cheats-are-from-china-playerunknown-says/

thats how NA TPP is as well despite their boasting for millions of players banned a lot of people are cheating right now. one of the problems with wildly popular games

So, I can't stop playing this drat game. I've been managing average of 1 kill per game, with a couple of under top ten finishes that were basically just luck. I really need more practice. Are there any consistent hot zones that folks run to when they wanna get their kill on?

It does seem like the scum of China specifically come to the NA region, probably to gently caress with us dirty whites, of course.

If my presence pissed off people in the AS server as much as being chinese or being latino pissed off white people on the NA servers then I'd probably play there all the time.

i dont know if it was on purpose, but i like how on the new map you're more forced to drive on roads so cars aren't as super awesome for transportation and its a lot easier to hang out around intersections and shoot people using cars

The next map should have players shrunk down and you have to fight it out in a massive back yard and a house and poo poo, like green army men

this just makes me long for custom servers and custom map support

Ah yes,
"Crouch walk or BAN/no frying pans, automatic weapons or cars or BAN"
Prone crawl backwards and shave your rear end or BAN, no weird haircuts or ball caps


on custom servers you can already set which weapons spawn/don't spawn right? But prone crawl backwards only would be a good time if the only thing available were cars with really low hp so everyone is just exploding.

Is this game insanely quiet compared to other applications for anyone else, while we're on the subject of sound? I need to turn Discord nearly all the way down to be able to pick up footsteps in PUBG when I'm playing with a team.

yeah for me it is, even with the game all the way and my volume all the way in general the game seems mixed to be quieter than anything else that might be running. If I get a notification or anything while I'm playing this my head pretty much explodes.

The only thing worse than crawling is running, being sniped at and then going prone in response

free headshots, prone is pretty much useless in this game unless you know 100% no one has a sight line from more than 100 meters away. So easy to pick people off who are prone on some distant hill.

I kind of agree, a year from now a lot of people will have moved onto the next big FPS. If they really wanted to increase the lifespan of their game they would release some kind of modding API and custom server stuff.

you can never find enough of them to have the whole team with them and therefore compensator is best in that case.

if you manage to take out a team or two of loot goblins you can probably manage it. My main problem is that if you have a silencer its annoying when your team mate without one stands right next to you and starts shooting at dudes who haven't yet figured out where you are. Thanks dude.

I used to cheat in CS back in the old days cause making people mad entertained me as a teenager.

Back in the day when people played Action Half-Life there was this clan called BORG that trolled people a lot. So I guessed the password to one of their ICQ accounts and from there found out they had a file server which had a bunch of the default models, but spiked so that big red lines would stick through walls and poo poo. Essentially a ghetto wall hack. I distributed them to everyone to use against them. Those were good times.

What was their password?

the password for that person's ICQ was KILL all caps. So was the password for the zip file that contained the spiked models.

I need to read up on squad tactics because my goodness does it feel like a different game.

the only times I've ever had an entire squad survive in pecado or hacienda is dropping two and two on the buildings on the outskirts and then meeting up and working our way in

I'd like to see a new map that is just a urban sprawl twice the size of los leonas and nowhere else, same circle mechanics, but shrunk down.
Question is which does the game engine handle worse, 100 people in a smallish area or rendering a massive map.

A map that is smaller in size + mostly los leones would be actually cool. lots more bridges between buildings and poo poo too

The dirt bikes and crates are the most fun parts of this game. High octane action

I was playing with a team that was doing two people flanking on bikes it was working really well. Two people would hang back and plink away while the other two would hop on bikes and around then everyone would push at once. It was a really fun strategy.
