PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Blizzard

Banned
Maybe I'm just having terrible luck but it seems to be getting worse. I have a hard time even firing anymore because I know I'll immediately get 180'd and dead in two seconds.
Oddly enough I'm having the same thing. I'm definitely not high-ranked, and I've never won. I used to be able to kill people occasionally but now almost anyone I shoot at, burst or single, ends up spinning, turning, and killing me in a single burst fire. The endgame screen typically gives me about 7 for the "hit" category so I guess the game thinks I'm barely touching anyone, even with ironsights / close range?

I thought they said it was a launch exclusive?

So the creator just said exclusive on the conference, but the video was prefaced by "launch exclusive".

I still believe that it'll come to the PS4 eventually, but they really should clear that up.

All things being available, which guns should i be using? I sometimes run past all the AR's and tend to stick to the akm/m16 combo, but I see streamers tend to favour the scar and some ignore the akm altogether.

AFAIK AKM does the most damage, all the other ARs do the same amount but have different spread and firerate.

I usually stick to AKM/Whatever AR I can get and a pump shotgun, unless I get a sniper then I keep an AR instead of the shotgun.

They just showed vaulting and climbing in the PC Gaming Show.

The animations look surprisingly good, much better than anything else in the game lol.

Will be interesting to see where people end up now with being able to climb now. I can already see people perched up on top of the bus stops.

I can only say that, for me, it has very very high highs, when you drop, you are often surrounded by people and having to make very quick decisions or you will die, a bit of luck is needed to find weapon spawns but its very much quick fast action, decisions matter, timing matters. Then the game slows down and becomes weaker as the opening people have died and you are generally looting, going from place to place trying to up your gear for end game. End game is incredible because, like early, every decision matters, timing matters, one bad move, one bad shot, game over.

I havent played a game in ages that was so tense in the early and end game.

It's implemented the "Battle royale" genre extremely well, as they were one of the first developers to do the idea (even though it was as an Arma mod). It has realistic controls, shooting, etc, but is also still fun. It's very intense to play, especially with a group. I'd highly recommend giving it a shot.l
 
wow climbing will really change up some of the positions people can take. i'm excited as theres previously been spots i haven't been able to get into

Being able to dive out of windows makes places like the school and military base a lot better for me.

Hopefully this update comes soon!

All of this sounds great. One of the only other huge things I really want is better client performance since I have to play on Very Low and I still have stutter. I hope there's still room for improvement there.
 
Lttp: just finished watching the ms conference.

I know i sound crazy but I am livid right now. For the amount of money this game has already made there is no reason to sell out to sony or microsoft.

I abhore 3rd party exclusivity, and if i could refund on steam right now i would.

I would not put any more faith behind this PlayerUnknown guy. This move just shows he only cares about money.

Glad my microsoft friends get to play, but sucks for all my friends i was hyping on ps4 l. Feel like a dumbass for being so positive on the game to them.

This and Sony not allowing cross play are going to ruin e3 for me.
Jesus christ dude, pretty pathetic.

I want the replay stuff so bad. Even just the 2d would be great. Watching how a match developed and where everyone was sounds super interesting to me.

Why isn't there a Star Wars RPG? And wouldn't James Bond make for a pretty good FPS?

My favorite AR is the M4. Couldn't explain why but I seem to be playing better with it than with the other guns.

Yeah, reminds me of the replays of the Mario catching game on Nintendoland.

Seeing everyone's circles all over the place would be fun.

Lmao.

You make a game and get offered a hefty sum for a few months of console exclusivity and let's see what you choose to do.

Oh my God. I hope at least two of these things are in the monthly update.

Fuck that update list sounds so damn good. Absolutely surprised at the animation smoothness for vaulting and climbing, honestly thought we'd get Arma jank. Praise PlayerUnknown.

Feel like there must be something wrong with my 'net. Guy is 10 ft away, standing still while aiming at somebody else and I shoot twice with a choked double-barrel, both torso, no blood splats from either.

Unless the shots are curving once they come out of the gun it was impossible to have missed those shots from the point of view of my client. There were no obstructions between us either so it wasn't a case of the shots going into a crate/window frame.

I did military/school/george drops for a week just to mix things up and while its fun, I can't help but enjoy starts where i go off the path and get looted then play mid/endgame. The chances of dying to guns not loading in and only getting a pistol/smg against a shotty can make busy drops more trouble than they're worth.

Man, I'm looting the crater all alone when a crate drops near me. M24 + 8x and some goodies. Perfect. While I'm making my way to the 2nd circle another unchallenged crate drops right next to me. AWM. I ditch the M24 and keep running. I'm finding no cars so I just have to keep outrunning the circles without ever having met another player. When I finally do, I kill him and die to the fucking circle. Game can be so frustrating sometimes.
