Top counter is Players Alive while the ending is squad or team placement unless solo.
Had my first squad session today
This game is crushing my spirit
lol
I always turn my sound way down for the spawn screen and jump, then turn it waaayyyyy up when I land. Helps hear footsteps.
I believe they rolled back the patch that fixed some of the sound culling they broke with the last patch.
10 minutes into the GB quick look and already I love the idea of this game and it looks good too.
OP seems promising for the game.
I'm going to keep watching and read the comments here but I want this.
I'm just worried about the number of players it will have in the future. I don't want big empty maps or 20 minute queuing. It's not f2p, and not all that cheap either and is early access (though it looks great).
Thoughts?

Broken how? I saw in the patch notes they were looking at doing something with footsteps and doors. I'm also fairly certain they will allow first-person only servers at some point. A lot of people prefer to play that way.
The only sound real sound issue I've had is some cracking if I'm standing in the middle of the red zone, which only happens in this game and in those areas.
The only way I can see that happening is if they break the game with updates. It's extremely popular and playable already, and people have been playing this "Battle Royale" style game/mod for a while now, so I don't think you have to worry very much about dwindling popularity. I mean, you're getting 90+ players for a game and there's essentially no wait time when you start game.
That's good to hear it's so fast.
It is only 3 weeks old though, the smart thing to do would might be to wait a little longer (got a lot to play atm too)... but I'm going to keep watching this video and see if I can resist.
H1Z1 has grown in time and I expect this game to continue to grow in time too, even more so if they start doing larger esports tournaments for it.
Yeah, i just read about the rollbacked patch, hope it fixes most of those stuff.
Generally the sound is really confusing, the ambient is too loud, the directional sound is not always correct, the grenades do not sound loud enough and when you do not hear a friend walking right next to you in the building something is off
Also the planes are way too loud in comparison to everything else.

I personally haven't experienced it, but my friend has tons of issues with audio positioning and he has the same sound equipment I do. I think it's a bug on some people's machines.
Sound mixing is def a bit iffy too.
my last 3 matches: 3rd, 2nd and 5th place. ugh I'll win a game soon I know it!
also when's the audio fix? had a guy enter my house and opened all the doors and I couldn't hear that shit at all but when he shot me my eardrums almost exploded because of how loud the gunshots were. dude was just running all around the house and i could not hear his footsteps at all....

Pistol no pantsu!
That makes sense.
I thought the price was £36.99, £26.99 is pretty good.
I'm in

You guys are killing it. I feel lucky just cracking the top-20! Been spending a lot of my time on the Asia server since my friend is based in China, but I've managed to lucky with a few games having a pretty decent connection.

Sometimes I dont even know.

How do you like my driving?
It was a fun ride, I'll say that! xD

Bought it, played about a half dozen matches and got 4th place on my best run. That shit is intense. I'm camping in a bush just outside the play area as it starts closing in and I hold to see if one of the other 4 left scurry out. I see no one, so I leave to head into the play area and start getting shot at immediately. Guy shooting at me gets got by the blue wall before he can finish me off, then the blue wall gets me right after because I got stuck on a box in a panic.
So what's the consensus on this? Is it the best one of these so far? I've watch people play mods and the H1Z1 survival mode but they always seemed jank.
I'm seeing a lot of people into this, but I can't tell if it's because it's actually good or because it's just the new streamer hotness. The Early Access label is almost always a no go for me

What setting to make hair not look dithered as shit?
Ya game is good at its core, need optimizing, and lags at times
More tactical than h1z1
But its damn good when everything works

As someone that played a lot of the Arma 3 Battle Royale mod and hated h1z1 - this is the best way to battle royale.
I got 9th by sticking in a boat for a good chunk of the game, including some very dicey parts of almost being spotted near the end. It's a ton of god damn fun. Solo queue feels like it can be as dumb or as serious as you want to make it. That round was me mostly goofing off, previous round I opted to jump to where I saw the most amount of people jump off and start fist fighting as many as I could until I got a gun to blow them away. Kept jumping right back in for more, it's super addicting and fun.
Did have one moment where I just about popped out of my seat, I was watching some windows for a good two minutes and somehow either this guy had been in this house all along and I just never came across him or something, but he snuck right up behind me and I turned around just in time to get rekt. The gunshot made me jump pretty bad, haha.

It's currently the third most played game on Steam and going by peak numbers it's #4. The game has word of mouth going for it and will definitely pick up later on in development after it becomes better optimized.
$30 for a game most people put hundreds, sometimes thousands of hours into isn't really expensive.

Got down to #2, but the other guy had the upper hand since he was in the zone and I had to move towards him.
Its funny how you can play around get three kills and think "yeah, I did pretty good that round."

I went from a i5 2500k @4.5Ghz to a 7700k stock today. 1600Mhz DDR3 ram to 3000Mhz DDR4 ram. Still using a 780Ti.
The difference is night and day. What a performance boost in this game. I feel like this game doesn't really use GPUs at all. Can't wait for further optimization patches.
Going to really enjoy playing tomorrow.
