I wish I knew more about how Fortnite devs do things, or how the new team on the Battle Royal do things. The team Epic has on Paragon is amazing with updates. If Battle Royal is anything close to that it will be updated frequently. I believe they will be doing stuff pretty fast to get it to a point people are invested in the game and want to buy skins. I'm looking forward to seeing this mature, and to see what they have on the store.
Coming from PUBG, the best part about Fortnite Royale is how smooth the gameplay and spectating are. Big props to Epic, especially since this is early access. It's nice to know they can focus on gameplay and features from here on out. Its pure arcade fun. Even it's not my "main game", I've been coming back to it over and over. Excited to see what the future holds.

And the addition of some different maps.

The one thing that i really wanna see in one of the next updates is an option to prone.

Fair point. I'm getting a lot of kills with people who didn't even drink the first potion.

This game is so damn polished.
Lots of jank in that other battle royale game, but not here, smooth as butter!
Good job epic, you got a winner on your hands.

Coming from PUBG I love how it runs most of all, it's like butter, I'm so impressed with performance. I also really like the compass, it's bigger and just much clearer in general, I struggle to read the numbers in PUBG sometimes but not in Fortnite. The looting and loot management is very clunky right now though, that's a big minus compared to PUBG. I also think the TTK is too low. Overall it's a fun, well made game that has a ton of potential, and competition is always good.

Is it just me or the game is laggy af? Rubber banding is terrible!
I never had a problem with it during the beta.

any way to zoom in on the map?

Well this is everything I wanted. Enjoyable as hell. Even though I'm getting my ass handed to me every match.
I had a few hiccups, but I'm pretty sure they were on my end.

Is there any sort of stats or record keeping? I want to see my placement/kills from all my matches.
Not yet, stats page just says "coming soon"

Guys, comparing OG PS4 and OG XB1, which version has the best performance? I don't care about resolution.

This would be the worst thing they could add to the game
Ignoring my terrible shooting.. I dropped like a fly at the end there all of a sudden... ugh.

In my games i noticed a lot of people go ham and group together as they fall out of the bus.

Don't hold down the trigger when shooting at that distance.

I haven't played yet today but as of last night you are given a character at random when you start a match, even on the paid version. No customization, period.

Like I said before, this feels so odd.
Why not creating a progression system or character system first before they implemented ranking lists and statistics? Just feels weird.
You have statistics, but no real profile behind it.

Is the new AR projectile or hitscan?
Have you played PUBG? There is no progression system. Only clothing and ranking.
Also, this game is it alpha right now. Stuff is going to be missing.

Customizing your hero is coming, this is how epic games will make their money.

ROFL the scoped AR is broken as fuck. No spread, crazy zoom, and hitscan. It's a freaking Lazer. Better than the sniper rifles.
Hitscan. Lol.
Correct, at least for now. I wouldn't expect too many free options, if any.

No love for the prone option i see, lol.
I can understand that a lot of people don't wanna see it.

Using a legendary weapon as bait is so much fun lol.
Well that explains some stuff, lol.

Good becuase I used the new sub machine gun earlier and it's dog shit. The bullet spread was just too much, even at close range.

Its broken then. Sacriel just two tapping people at sniper range on his stream. They really have to drop hitscan or this thing will crash and burn for competitive types.

Got to the final circle with a squad
My hands are shaking. This is so damn fun. Bunked in a house and the building mechanics came to life
Opened roof for quick flank and sniping spot
Enemy started breaking a back wall and positioned themselves in a cold room and took our guy out.
Lots of risky reviving
Then I jumped outside the roof and flanked two guys. Then I died by another guy behind a tree
The building mechanics are going to create insane plays by more experienced players
While I like PUBGs scale and vehicles, I am enjoying this game because it feels better. If it can match PUBGs scale I will be ecstatic
My heart is still pumping like mad. Made many kinds of top 10 finishes in PUBG, but none as heart pumping as this

That sounds awesome, I only have a friend that will play this game, can I build a squad with 2 or it needs to be 4?

I watched the same thing which prompted me to come and post here
I wonder if they'll make that change. I imagine the gunplay is the same in PVE?
Gunplay\damage will be the most difficult thing for them to get right in this game.

Agreed customization seems obvious and would add a large part to the game. That said it's free and out now so happy to play and see where it goes. I would definitely enjoy getting cosmetics though, and having a persistent avatar to apply them to.

Woo! Just finished top 10! 3 kills.
This is a real headscrather, I hope they let you use the Dpad to select weapons/items in a future update as I fumbled quite a bit with how it is currently.

I think 2 is fine and the other 2 autofills

That's a shame. I wanted to try that gun.
But no... the scoped AR is just way too strong right now. It's basically an auto-win at the right range.

You can close the party to keep 2 players also.
