So how do you spectate a duo after death using a controller? The only option is to exit the match.

Damn right. This is the way to do it. This is how you get better at the game, to be honest. At least if you're like me and 'getting better' means 'playing more aggressively, more successfully'
I wish my buddies played as aggressively as me. Some days I'll be playing in the same room as two of my friends (w/my brother in another room), and being the only Rambo on the squad is THAT MUCH WORSE during those moments where you could have used backup to finish off a group of baddies but
*looks to the right at my friend's screen*
but my bros are all hiding in a tiny fuckin' house 300m away because 'oh shit I heard shots' and I can SEE THAT SHIT playing out in front of me on multiple screens and I'm just like BE MORE PROACTIVE BE AGRESSIVE FLANK SHOOT BANG SOMETHING PLLZZZZZZzzzzzz
and then they get camped in but by then I'm already outside my house sulking and smoking a cig like

It's been so long so I've seen someone just standing motionless behind a tree not watching their backs that I forgot that that means that they're looking at someone. Whoops.

I am so confused as to why when I run this game at 720p with everything on Very Low it's even worse framerate wise than when I do at 1080p on High

They are basically testing if it works well and how popular it's by doing limited roll out first.
If all goes well they plan to roll it to squads and to other regions too.

No, you can't get matched vs pre-made duo teams. What they're doing is referred to as teaming, and it's a reportable offense.

Nope. I have fond memories of custom servers with throwing knives for Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory though.

Having the same issue. Guessing it is a bug that was overlooked.
When my team dies early I just quit looting and go rambo to get kills. If I cant find anyone within a few minutes, I'll just frag myself.
The SKS was already ridiculous, not sure it needed a buff. Its already a no brainer to take when you find it.
I've wanted horns forever. Better to get attention and be bait while your team sneaks into the last few circles.
I wish you could put a choke on the semi-shotgun, that could use a buff.

Two games in a row where the wall indicator completely lied and said my gun was clear when it was actually obstructed by a wall.
Sigh.

Nice work, thanks! I probably shouldn't be using the map so much that I need it on TAB, but it's there for now

Yeah SKS will be incredible this patch
Fun for whom? Sometimes it does. If it always narrowed down to a building or rock, then that means players would camp buildings or rocks where the circle is likely to end.
For player who got to claim that rock or house before others hence got automatic win.

What's changing on the SKS? I didn't see anything mentioned in the patch notes.
i have had a lot of different endings including open fields, forests, cliffs, bridges, mountains and buildings. i do tend to dislike the open field crawl where its like two trees and a rock and the person with the best natural vantage point based on the circle position is hard to beat, but i think theres lots of variation. every final circle is a fun story to me

In a solo or duo/squad? Because the longest kill statistics in duo/squad can very easily get skewed if you down someone and then drive away because it will count the distance between you when he finally dies. Otherwise thats pretty... impressive
What is wrong with AK?
More than likely but it hasn't been announced yet
It's decent at mid range but even then the 7.62 ammo seems weaker than 5.56 ammo.
That and the horrible recoil on it. Give the AK some attachments dammit.
I keep finding it every where but trying to shoot it like in CS doesn't work.

Squad, shot from the rooftop house just on the upper left of Rozhok to a player crouch running on the hill to the north west. I wish I'd captured it, but here's the pubg.me stats:
https://pubg.me/player/Ubermatik/squad?season=2017-pre3®ion=eu
Was something like this:
Was honestly quite new for me, as I sometimes struggle with zeroing the scopes in to the correct distances, but in this case I whacked it up to 600m, aimed a little above and took the shot.
We later pressed the compound to the north for the final circle, but died to the final few and came team rank 3... disappointing end to an otherwise really exciting game!
(We might not have lost had my team mate not killed our random team mate by accident... was a heat of the moment thing
)I got chicken dinner within my first 10 matches because some guy named Jason_Bourne (sp?) carried my squad.

AK does more damage than the 5.56 weapons (which is realistic), but the AK's sloppy construction and slightly more powerful cartridge make it harder to hit followup shots (which is also realistic).
https://pubg.me/weapons/assault-rifles
Perhaps in the future they'll add another more modern AK that has places to attach grips and junk.
7.62 rounds have lower velocity (needs more lead at distance), but deal more damage per hit than 5.56 in BG. AK can.... 3-4? tap kill you if you are unarmored.
Full auto for most part isn't viable with any gun in BG outside of short ranges.

Impressive man.
I thought my games were going to go well earlier, but I died to some hilarious fails early on. Luckily I captured them all, lol. :/

In a lot of games the lowest settings offloads stuff onto the CPU, which can hurt performance in a lot of cases.
Thanks man!
Our games were really good today, but we never managed to secure the win... 2 or 3 top 15s but could never get that dinner
(even despite a last minute Groza + Ghillie Suit loot from a crate!)And yeah, I have to get into the habit of keeping that Nvidia live replay thing turned on when I play. Too many cool/crazy things happen! Any way to set it to run automatically when you launch a game?

The funny part is that d2 probably wont be popular on twitch. Only time it will be is when the new raid opens up.
If we take D1 into account, it dropped off and only became a contender on raid openings.

I've now had multiple games where I pick a house or compound that's so hot endgame that I can't make a run for the circle because of how many people keep pulling up.

it's fun to hang out on the mountain and watch the chaos unfold whenever those buildings wind up on the inner edge of a circle
Imo AKM is the best AR in the game.
The key to AKM beasting is tap firing, always wait recoil to come back down to enemy before firing again.
Full auto mode is only useful in close range situations, other than that always tap fire with the AKM.
I rarely lose 1v1 fights with the AKM, it's recoil is not too bad.

I forgot how easy it was to get Top 15-10 by just:
Avoiding conflict
Sticking to the shacks for looting (most people don't set traps there)
Getting in a car

Again, you are *probably* part of a hardcore purist crowd who has likely been here from ARMA days. The growth of this game is going to come from new players who don't even know what Day Z is.
This game has become one of the fastest selling games of all time, ignoring the fact that its an Early Access game. And you are complaining about how Streamers are going to quit? How many of the Millions of players who play this game do you think actually stream? Now ask yourself, how many of those are POPULAR streamers... and then ask yourself how many of the 99% that AREN'T popular streamers actually give a fuck about the change? I've been playing these types of games since Arma 2, I stream PUBG games... I can tell you I don't care. I fall into the 99% that stream the game and would be considered NOT popular. There's a lot of us, not so many of you.

Yeah this is why I first person peek nearly all the time now.
It's very easy to make it to the end of the game as long as you don't get completely screwed in some regard. Just grab a gas can or 2 and drive in a vehicle all game away from the plane's path and hot zones. Or camp. Or just hug the blue circle. Ect.
Winning and getting far is one thing, that's why my group usually plays to get kills, have good fights, and win. Feels less cheap.
