A good strat is get the gear you want/need and head right to the middle of the circle. Saves you the trouble of chasing it down and people will come to you
Yeah this is what I do. Move from building to building by foot in the early going to get your gear together than make for the predicted middle of the ring and just bunker down
Pretty much this. I think a lot of the problem is that most streamers are looking for kills so all that time fighting while the circle is closing in makes it seem like you never get a break.
Maybe I'm just bad at this game but aiming sure is hard (´。＿。｀

The best tip I can give for aiming is never use 3rd person. You wont hit anything, unless you are pointblank or have a shotty.
Another tip is lead your shots at range. Practice will help you learn how far to lead based on speed and distance.
Bonus tip: Dont ever stop and shoot people while standing out in a field 9/10 if you dont insta kill them you wont have cover and die. If you got the drop on someone keep an eye on them and move to a safe place to shoot them.
Yeah, admittedly it has a lot to do with summit's strat, trying to stay in the outskirts.
Going for the center has the drawback that enemies are coming from all directions. Keeping the circle at your back keeps you way safer from getting flanked.
Anyway, I think you should always be able to get to the circle with a reasonable pace. Right now, if you're on one side and the circle spawns on the other, you pretty much have sprint to not take damage. One circle in particular seems to be really bad about this.
They need to do something about friendly fire. Just had a match where one of my squad got downed out in the open so instead of immediately reviving him I flanked the dude who got him and killed him before going back to revive. Team mate didn't like that I didn't revive him straight away and killed me once he was back up. Smh.
Current patch was supposed to increase the timers but to me it seems the same so not sure whats up with that.
Same for me.

Got the update last night. Still had a good bit of rubberbanding and lag for a couple hours after the update hit.
Apparently it was the circle closing speed not the timer, but even then I notice no difference and its still run across open field before it catches you :3

More like this
Lmao
I really need to get into the controls, I will follow your advice, thanks a lot!
Theres always PUBGAF
Eh not right now. Its very CPU intensive and don't really utilize GPU that much right now.
Yeah, early game it's usually pretty laggy so it's best to just avoid other players all together. Then like 30 people die within a minute and you're good to go! 👍
Not had this a lot on NA but on EU it's frequently happening.

Never bought H1z1 because it came off as very unpolished and a little too arcadey for me but man this game, this game is amazing. I can't wait for servers to be fixed and performance worked out.

Did they quietly remove the crossbow? Don't think I've seen one since even before the first patch.
Congrats!

There can only be one, and this time it was me.
Someone else mentioned this on Reddit. There was a post on the official forums claiming they were the copyright owner for the crossbow, and Bluehole removed the item from the game shortly after that post.

People keep saying this but I haven't noticed anything unusual with footsteps.
Oh man, melee is completely worthless, i sneak up behind a guy with a hatchet, he seems me in third person, goes prone and starts slowly to turn around while i'm aiming straight at him but my dude is swinging the thing over his body and i die after like 4 or 5 missed swings. Basically the same happens few games later, i land on a roof with a dude, he grabs a gun first backs in to corner, i start swinging at him but nothing seems to happen, he tries to get away from me while i keep punching him, manages to reload his shotgun after like 10 seconds of straight up getting punched up and kills me.
This feels way worse than what the arma dayZ mod had, a fucking axe that was actually a shotgun but with 0 range at least that worked.
Also since i'm complaining, the parachute handles like crap, especially the final stretch where the animation gets locked and you sloooowlly land and warp, and while i'm at it jumping is finnicky as hell a little bit of height would help a lot in clearing out the frustration when your character keeps clipping his or her heels on a fence which normally would be super easy to jump over.
And is the bullet drop range kinda bonkers or what? It seems like the bullets fly almost straight to the point you are aiming at a dude running in the horizon.
Edit: I have one question, Do pistols kill in one shot to the head if the other guy is not wearing a helmet?

I've noticed melee seems really bad as well, i don't know if it was lag or something but it just seemed like i kept missing even though i was standing right next to another player, and even when they weren't moving.
Melee in this game is legit trash.

Huh, I've beaten a lot of people to death with my bare fists as they were trying to shoot me during the initial scavenging rush.

Fists work great but the melee weapons are kinda useless.
