Do bullets in this game drop over distance?

Yeah, it's not hitscan. You need to lead targets.

So many games I don't have luck on guns once landed so melee weapons come in and the hunt begins.

Also yeah, Jason cosplay.

Oh also the damn trench coat right now

Man I wish I had preordered. I would have sold those in an instant... and probably bought gift copies for people on my friends list.

On a side note I love the Over-Under shotgun. The power, the reload, the sound. So good.

 

[Tecnniqe]

TFW you go solo squads and end in top 5 teams just to have an entire 4 man squad enter behind you from outside the circle

with a little

 

[abracadaver]

Anyone not earning any BP for their games tonight? Played a handful of solo games and my BP total hasn't budged since I started tonight.

They are looking into it.

Has this been fixed yet?

I wasn't getting any money either.

I get BP just now so

Pistols only would be pretty fun

 

[mullet2000]

Yesterday I learned the hard way that you can still get killed by a bombing if you're inside a building but too close to a window.

 

[T-Rex.]

Is there anyway to manually cap the frame rate? It's all over the place atm and I just want to lock it to 60. AMD's own frame rate limiter doesn't work for whatever reason.

 

[iosa]

Damn it. Just had a bug while switching weapon making it invisible an unusable. It's a that exact moment a player enters the room and kill me. It was gonna be my best game for sure.

Pistols are the worst

Is it possible to get every cosmetic through the crates or is some of it locked to the pre-orders/trading?

Deluxe items are locked to those who got it. Everything else is box lewt.

I keep thinking everyone's going nuts over these janky ass early access games because that's all there is -- Why doesn't Dice just put a mode like this in one of their battlefiend games as DLC? Or just make a new game around it? It'd be huge.

Would have as much success ass all those big publishers attempts at MOBAs.
BR is very similiar type of game. Born from mod, havily focused on tight communities, meant to be supported for 5 years at least instead of being replaced every couple years and for BP there's even more of PC-centric stuff inherent to the genre, like mods, servers etc.
It's just not something big publishers can do well.

PUBG is the third most played game on Steam right now. That's not a niche thing. At least it doesn't seem like it. That should be enough popularity for publishers to smell money.

I imagine they would put health regen and all that bollocks in too :3

And MOBAs are niche? And publishers likely know they can't compete and considering their productions cycles who knows if the craze won't be over before they manage to release. Because half-assing it through some quick DLC would be a sure fire way to diseaster.

Plus Battle Royale is popular on PC. I'm not sure if it would gain anywhere near as big traction on consoles.

 

[jediyoshi]

Huh I got a free crate out of nowhere

Steam stats would also tell you farming simulators and soccer managers should be up there next to COD. Can't really judge relative popularity across platforms.

Got 2nd twice in squads, just can't get over that hump and get the last kill. I tried going back to H1Z1 and I just can't do it, too fast now. I love the speed and gunplay in this a lot better, nothing wrong with H1Z1 at all, still a great game!

8x scope + sniper + being on military island and popping people at a crate across the water is great. I got 8 kills in a row doing that, they had no idea where I was.

The first game (this or h1z1) to get on consoles will be a huge hit. PUBG obviously need to focus on the PC version right now, but they'd be smart to get a console version out on at least xbox early access as fast as possible. It's a gold mine waiting to happen.

Okay this was a pretty amusing clip to watch of summit's. Boat battles look pretty fun...

Any know of any youtubers who are good at this game and upload regular vids other than Jack Frags and Frankie on PC?

 

[Compsiox]

Holy shit! The game reach Rocket League's peak concurrent players. That's incredible within a week.

MSI afterburner

I was in the same situation. 0 kills. I hid in the final zone and then when I started getting shot I ran through the forcefield and died instantly when I had like half health.

That shit gets crazy powerful.

 

[arimanius]

So I'm interested in this but my PC is on the low end and not sure it's up for the task. I have an i5-4670k, 24G of ram, and two GTX 770 in SLI. What do you guys think?

I doubt SLI would do you any good. So maybe at like 720p you could get stable frames.

Hmm thanks. I know they are working on performance so maybe I'll hold off and see what they can do.

 

[DrBo42]

Not sure I'm a fan of how aggressive the player area shrinks towards the end, especially with how crucial position is in this game. Feels like it's too much.

You could give it a try. Refunds are always an option.

 

[Fusion Pizza]

So I picked this up and I gotta say, I'm hooked, great core gameplay.

Just watch Twitch VODs. The best players are there. Try Summit1g or JoshOG

 

[Smokey]

FYI, not like the game is that much a graphical showcase, but SLI does work.

Of course the game is very CPU dependent pre-optimization patch, but I had my 2nd card disabled because I assumed it didn't work.

 

[Tomat]

Fuck the zone timer in this game. Feels way too fast.

Don't feel like we're given any time to actually engage in fights in the midgame. Loot/DM for 5, spend the midgame fucking sprinting to the zone if you're unlucky, and then turtle endgame. Shit is getting annoying.

Just realized the sky looks pretty dark. Wonder if we will get night time setting

Doesn't always work like that and doesn't really solve the problem either.

Good thing they are increasing the timers soon then.

Just had a round where I stole a person's car from under their noses after they got out to search a house right as the Red Zone spawned on top of us then went on to finish 3rd in the last play area with 1 kill.

Great game. Shame none of my mates want to play.

Made of a gif of the revolver reload, one of the only things I deliberately go into first person for

Too good a reload for the shitty weapon :3

Kar reload sound is sex tho

Playerunknown pls

 

[spineduke]

They should tweak the formula a little - maybe make you collect dog tags off people or something to access areas or crates? The rewards for hiding outweigh any attempt to engage.

Also, anyone having soft details in the distance? I'm pretty much maxed on most settings, but everything in the distance is pretty fuzzy.

Try turning off post-processing. Could help.

Yeahhh netcode needs some work, but that's early access
