Then got taken out immediately by some guy I didn't notice in the grass like 10 feet from me. Whoops.

Scrub out the logos, rename some stuff and put it out there as "leaked new pubg map" imo.

They released the game! Also Xbox EA (or whatever it's called there).

I know it's petty but I refuse to read RPS articles on the game because they're still calling PUBG that 6+ months in.
If you're refusing to check out British stuff anytime there's a silly word then you're going to miss out on some good content.

Seems like a decent idea for a phone app. Jump on the new* thing and create a second screen experience!

It's awful to be focused on finding movement when scoping someone down and your eyes get a split second of distraction cause someone launched hunie pop.

Just turn it off.
How else am I going to train for fighting in a real world scenario where I could be distracted by hunie pop related messages at any time!?

Also, I have friend notifications turned off by default because who wants to see that poo poo all the time? I haven't turned the steam overlay off completely, but I should try that and see if I notice any difference, because it's not like I use it for anything.

Aren't a shitload of copies sold through not-Steam though? If they don't want name clashes then they have to use their own account name system.

edit: Oh yeah, duh, and you can change your Steam name whenever like the person below me states.

I'm not really complaining, more just amazed. It was just taking a little while to load so I checked the size.

Why exactly would Chinese players stop buying the game if they could only play on the Chinese servers? I'm seriously not understanding your standpoint so please explain.
Because that's where the vast majority of the hackers would be playing is my guess.

This is wrong. If you kill someone quickly, they can't kill you later. You are not nearly the master of strategy you believe yourself to be.

This is wrong because my aim is terrible and they just turn around and kill me.

Yeah, you wouldn't want your lovely temp textures to be the focus of the criticism you receive on the new map. Like when you're doing layout design, you use Lorem ipsum so that people don't spend a bunch of time commenting on the copy.

I won an FPP solo game! My first solo win! :D

Then I noticed the latest update had pushed me back to AS. Took the wind out of my sails quite a bit (and explained a lot), but hey, better than nothing.

I'm legit terrible, so will probably be my only win. I went back and watched some of the replay and it was hilarious how bad all of us in the game were.

I think I'd rather not know the circle ahead of time, but I'll try with it on and see how it is.

We won't know for sure until we see it ourselves, but I would guess the latter.

Part of the point of the smaller map seems to be to skip some of that early/mid game, though. Or at least accelerate it.

Then don't play on the test servers.
Yeah, I don't. There are still fairly frequent patches of a decent size.

flatluigi posted:

You can set it up so that Steam will only patch the game when you go to play it, which should let you dodge a patch here and there
Yep, doing this already, but good advice anyhow. Downloaded a 2gb patch to play one round the other night. Whee.

Do DBNO count for anything? Those aren't shown there, but maybe it affects rating?

Also, I haven't played since the most recent update. Kind of annoyed I'll not be able to find random L3 Helmets laying around anymore. How is everyone else finding it?

If you think gear is what matters then you need to go and watch the start of the racing documentary The Fate of the Furious where Dominic Toretto proves definitively that it's not the equipment, but the skill of the operator that matters.

I don't have steam load on boot because then it starts minimized and there's no way to stop that and it makes me irrationally angry.

Played last night on the regular servers and did way worse than normal. Whee! Didn't even see like 3/4 of the people who shot me. Chances are the squad I was with wasn't carrying me as hard as I usually get carried.

1680x1050 maybe? edit: oh, I just searched and there are mentions of 1600x1024 as a resolution. Go figure.

16:10 is the superior ratio, fight me.

Shroud was at the pubg LA event yesterday and looked bored as gently caress. The announcers were so loud going "AND HERE COMES SHROUDS TEAM TO THE BRIDGE WHILE SOANDSO TEAM IS ON THE OTHER SIDE" and he's like "Good job, announcers. You realize we can all hear you in our ears?" His team got wiped pretty uneventfully and he just sat there nonplussed with the whole event. You can tell he's seriously burned out on it.

I didn't catch it, but this sounds pretty bad. You can't really put it on the announcers though since it's not like they're responsible for the booths and layout. That's someone else's gently caress up.
