Hahaha, that's hilarious. Yeah my friends do some of these too, especially the compressor thing and 776.
Looks like people are hammering their servers.
Damn is today that first time it's passed 600k? It keeps going up, crazy
made top 10 on my first game. had about 7 people left. question whats the deal with the not enough space thing. do I need to find backpacks around the world? i kept trying to take someones first aid but it wouldnt let me but i was able to pick up things like headgear? I can see why this game is pretty popular. it has some tense moments!
There's backpacks to find yeah, but you can equip stuff off the ground if that slot is empty even if your inventory is full.

Clothing, guns, and your first grenade will all go into their own inventory slot and do not take space. You need a backpack (levels 1 to 3) to carry more stuff after your pocket space runs out.

I'm starting to get hyped for gamescom, I think PUBG might be the first esport I really get into, it's so fun to watch
I tried nVidia Shadowplay. Didn't work.
I was in the police station and had eyes on a guy across from where I was. I shot him about 15 times in the head (no hits registered, at all, despite having a clear view of his head) He killed me in one shot with a Kar98. I wasn't very happy and wanted to post the cideo, but Shadowplay wouldn't create a video. Think I'm going to try OBS. I was using an M4 with an 8x scope, I believe. I'm still kind of annoyed with that, as I had great gear and a few kills that game already.

Alright, so after yesterday, I most definitely am growing to like this game. But I think 4 FPP is just so much better than all else, partly since it helps noobs like me stay alive, and also because Im not a total burden on my teammate in Duo since I can't get my mic to work.
It was very enjoyable getting pinned in a house while overlooking a field because a supply box dropped there. We got into a long range shootout, but then noticed a different squad coming up behind us.
Spotting them moving through shrubbery was really intense. Managed to get a kill, but took pot shots on others. Im a little unsure how I seem to get 1 shotted while others take beefier shots. Are headshots instant down? I admittedly didn't aim for the head but Im curious about the difference/multiplier.
Also, I really dislike how forceful the blue circle is. I understand it needs to constrain the player area, but it just feels incredibly unfun to die to it in the later stages. I just wish there was more time in later stages. And I don't know how I feel about the fact that some players inherently get the advantage based on the location drop.
Are there any big plans to change how the game is played in that way?

Headshots deal a lot more damage and it depends on what level your helmet is. And the blue circle is just something you have to pay attention to and adjust your strategy to account for. I highly doubt they'll change it considering it's one of the staples of the game mode.
Got my first Kar98 kill! Perched over the prison, 1st hit, then 2nd missed as they swerved. But then they made the fatal mistake of laying down. Edit: 117m, not bad.
That's the trick- sell the crates. I happened to get a $2 beanie my first week, but now that I've got a sense of the math I'm going to sell all crates without opening going forward. Then I'll buy myself a dollar's worth of dirty tank tops when the holds clear.I haven't gotten anything worth more than 8 cents.

Man. Vaulting gonna be a literal game changer. Looking very much forward to this update, whenever it lands. Looks fantastic.

buy them with ingame points then sell them.
If you open a crate can you still sell the item?
Yes.

I use the XSPLIT for free
I've always had a bunch of problems with it. I know most streamers use it so they must be doing something right lol It can be pretty darn good. For me though whenever I try and capture the game it's always a black screen and SUPER delayed. Need to give it another shot.

I think you need to play in fullscreen mode for it to record.
FWIW I turn on desktop capture in Nvidia Shadowplay (off by default for privacy), and that way it works perfectly.
Same here. Audio is out of sync, files sometimes don't work and occasionally shadowplay simply doesn't show work when I'm playing games.

Wow, I just had a look on the steam market and there's some crazy prices on there.
If you have a set of some kind (not Twitch), it's worth at least £200. If you have a miniskirt of any kind it's worth at least £100!

Yea but its usually not immediate. The black shirt I sold for 7$ had to wait a week or something before I could sell it.

Do not agree.
It's what makes the game, the game. Wearing headphones and constantly being paranoid, nothing else like it.
In real life if you were hit, you'd know where it came from.

That's definitely not %100 accurate. Circumstances would vary and then a suppressed weapon would make it even harder to locate someone.
I meant as in, if you were shot in the back you'd know it's coming from behind, or in the side, front etc. I'm not talking about knowing where the person is, just where the bullet hit on your person because in real life you'd feel it.

That's not entirely accurate as well, my friend had no idea he was shot until someone checked him, obviously circumstances may and will vary.
Being a video game nothing is perfect of course this isn't Arma 3 I think this game needs some improvements without a doubt hit markers may be one of them but it's not absolutely necessary.

Guys I won my first chicken dinner saturday! Even though i was pretty sick with a cold i somehow managed to get into position here:
This spot is pretty good when you have an SKS, so yeah it feels good. Too bad all of my next matches have been absolute failures.
i got like a buck and a half. Honestly i would just buy crates when they reset and sell them when the market is hot., you could definitely make lots of steam money if you play yoru cards right.

Totally agree. I always get hit from nowhere, make it to the nearest cover, and get hit again. At least give us a killcam!
Fair enough, I've got zero experiance at being shot. Just something to indicate where the bullet entered on the body would suffice. I know this might sound heinous to some people, but it's just to remedy the lack of situational awareness that you would otherwise have. Also note I only play FPP so not talking about TPP here.

That's what makes it so wild though especially in FPP, crack and whizzes are still pretty accurate.
