This game manages to give me a genuine adrenaline rush when playing solo and this is coming from a guy who used to be really into competitive counter-strike. Squads is also really fun but for different reasons.

CascadeBeta posted:I actually unmute global chat after dropping out of the plane for the off chance that someone left their mic open while trying to sneak up on me. It's happened once so far, so I'd say it's a good habit to get into. Sometimes you get to hear people rage after you kill them too. A few months ago I think I killed a streamer because it sounded like he was bitching to his audience about, 'of loving course i die to an UZI what a cheap piece of poo poo use a real gun rear end in a top hat'

The plane and parachuting have been improved, yeah, but the red zones are still loud and scare me  edit: also not saying that that's a bad thing

Fuzz1111 posted:Has anyone else found that red-zones seem to respawn in same spot a lot more since patch? Last game I was stuck in a single building for ages because redzone spawn in same spot 3 times, and there were no other buildings nearby. Needless to say going from 65 people alive to ~40 without looting meant I was pretty I'll equipped for first fight I got in. It does that sometimes. I remember that happened to me in one of my first games like six months ago. RNG!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TOOT BOOT posted:Because SSDs still cost a bunch of money for large disk sizes. Smaller ones get eaten up fast if you keep several multiplayer games around. Plus if you buy a bunch of poo poo off iTunes that ends up eating space as well. I'm not switching entirely to SSD until they have 2 gig ones for like $100. In case anyone isn't aware- if space is a concern you shouldn't be placing multimedia like movies or music on your SSD. You get very little if any performance gain from it.

aniviron posted:Death cam is pretty useful for knowing if you died to a cheater or just someone who was good. Had yet another game last night where I died to a full auto burst of nothing but headshots; but it was only about 50m away, and in theory a very good player could do that. Of course, watching the replay I somehow started to doubt that when the view showed him just snapping back and forth to my duo buddy and I through walls until someone peeked. Nah the replay functionality is real janky and almost everyone looks like they're cheating with it. It's only useful if you get killed unexpectedly and want to know how you hosed up.

If they don't region lock I hope they at least establish some sort of prestige system like other games where if you have hundreds of hours you're only lined up with other players with a large enough amount of time to filter out most of the hackers.

Soarer posted:I believe that's counted as a miss. Why sometimes if you get a bad shot where they're only half in your cross hairs and it feels like they should have at least taken some damage it just does nothing. This answers so many questionable engagements I had where I’d winged someone a few times and ultimately did zero damage.

AppleDan posted:Can't wait to see what's said about this one https://gfycat.com/VictoriousBogusHammerheadshark On top of the no-recoil the biggest tell is that after making a shitload of noise he immediately puts his gun away to run for a loot box that's at least 200 m away. So he clearly has no idea what he's doing

I don't think I've run into a hacker yet although last night I had a pre-teen call me a jew after I killed him so I'm making progress edit: So why do the hackers vastly prefer TPP mode, anyways? In the beginning the leaderboard explanation sort of made sense but you think they would have spread out a bit by now. PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jan 2, 2018 |

DrNutt posted:I love watching my replays because I'll be all "poo poo I can't see where that's coming from" and then flail wildly and get shot to death, and then on the replay I can see the enemy plain as day. I am really bad at spotting people in the heat of the moment. Take a look at your graphics settings. I forget the name of the one setting it's something like bloom or after effects or w/e but it's what gives muzzle flash its 'pop' and should be at the highest setting you can get away with.

Matazat posted:I should, but I generally don't see them until late in the game and by then I'm done looting and I'd rather stick with an AR that I'm already comfortable using. The snipers all shoot more or less the same but the ARs have different rof/spread/recoil/etc that makes a big difference. Jerkface posted:The Aug, Groza, and M249 are basically better versions of your other guns that shoot faster, have lower recoil, and better spread. You don't need to do get used to them, think of them like fully fitted M4s. Yep. There's no need to get used to the Groza or Aug. Leave it on auto unless you're at 50+m in range in which case you should be using your scoped rifle anyways. Simply put your crosshair on your target and click. Both of the crate ARs will have several bullets out before you're off target. If that first burst didn't kill your target you have a very small distance to recover to fire another. It's disgusting how effective they are.

In other news I think I'm circling around from the Vector back to the UMP as my preferred SMG. The big problem is that it actually fires too quickly. At the ranges you're typically engaging in your target will likely be strafing and if firing full auto you'll be out of bullets by the time you're able to compensate and get back on target. The UMP is much more forgiving in this regard. Basically if you're using a Vector you should never ever have it set to full auto. It still fires insane fast if you rapidly click on burst mode. Still deciding if I like Vector on burst or UMP on auto more.

Varkas posted:Keep in mind that replays/kill cams are not a 1-to-1 representation of a user's actions--in particular where they're aiming exactly at a given moment. I wouldn't conclude that he was slam dunk cheating just from that recording alone. I'd say you should watch your whole replay for that game of the guy to get a better sense. It would have been better if he'd have posted a replay with xray enabled but I'm pretty sure he's using his aimhack as a wall hack in this instance. The part where he sprays the side of the wall while aiming up the stairs despite not seeing anyone is basically the tell there. No clue why you'd do that instead of just turning on wall hacks but w/e

underage at the vape shop posted:same Very underappreciated aspect of suppressors is that they totally 100% hide your muzzle flash. This easily buys you extra critical moments if you're the one initiating an engagement. Once the enemy knows where you are you should switch over to a compensator if you have one.

In my 150 hours of playing I've only nabbed an AWP once. I heard a guy sneaking up on me later that round and 180 quick-scoped him in the gut. One of my most rewarding PUBG moments to date.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I’ll play with friends but it sure doesn’t seem like there’s a balance between “loot and play super conservatively because that wins games” and “throw a grenade one at one door and sprint around the side/back with an uzi and mag dump” since you’ll probably die and then need to do a whole extra cycle of spawning, dropping, looting, etc. Is that fairly accurate, even as I get better at the game? You're not wrong but you're not right either. Fortunately you're on the 'correct' side of being a loot-goblin which is to say you're not being one so it'll be an easier habit for you to foster. Essentially you want to spend the first part of the game looting your area until you have armor, an assault rifle, meds of some sort, and hopefully optics so you can aim more easily. Once that's covered you go off and start hunting people who in all likelihood are still looting so you can take their stuff. Once you've played a few rounds like that instead of hunting for people find a vehicle and chase after crates. That's when the game gets really fun.

Bouchehog posted:Earlier in the thread someone said that the suppressor also hides the flash, which I will need to check out. Completely hides the flash. You have zero muzzle flash using a suppressor. That's the #1 reason to use one- the help to your aim and reduced sound is a bonus.

Never saw that outfit before (which isn’t surprising as I’ve had the game like 2 weeks).. nor, one could argue, did I see that outfit during. Ahh well. It’s called a ghillie suit and you can only find it in crates
