PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Just had a crazy 11 kills FPP solo game with a M24.

I don't think there is a better feeling in any shooter than getting headshots with a silenced M24. So damn satisfying.

I just love the sound it makes when firing those high powered rifles with a silencer.

Finally got a freakin' duo win. I had 8 kills and my buddy had 0. He did pick me up when there were only three left so maybe he was the real MVP, lol. Also, the UMP on auto is just ridiculous. I wish I would have discovered this earlier. I'm even more addicted to this game now that FPP is in. It definitely feels like a more fair experience.

I know it has been said to death, but they really really need to improve the viewer experience for the tournament scene. There was a recap video that did a much better job at wrapping up the action for anyone interested(from the first day): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu_WgBknCvc

Just saw PUBG is at 774k peak vs 816k for Dota 2... it's getting so close to hitting that #1 spot. What an amazing accomplishment.
 
Having 80 setups that all have to work properly at the same time must be a nightmare for a tournament organizer. The delays suck, but I don't see how they're avoidable unless this becomes a serious big budget e-sports scene with a ton of staff and oversight.

It's so much fun watching the action in FPP, the guy who won made a play that would have been completely impossible in TPP - He rushed at them with zero cover!

We just have to keep the pressure up really, it is all we can do sadly. It is obvious it will eventually come as it'd be studio suicide to segregate server regions from game modes that others can access, but what frustrates me is the lack of timeline on when we will get FPP considering it was a week difference for AS servers.

I'm so furious for you guys.

Consistency is what shows you who the best players are. The game is too RNG to let the best players win every game. The best player in the world in solos has a 35.5% win rate in solos. The best duos and squads players in the world average around 50% win rate.

These are incredibly low win rates for individual games for the best players in the world when you compare to the best players in the world for other games, for example the best players in the world in Overwatch win around 70-80% of their games. It's just how PUBG is.

Started the second match 2 hours after the stream started. Shows how hanky the game still is. But man that finish to the first game was awesome.

Really interested in this game guys, I want to try it to see if its for me.

Is there a demo or free trial anywhere? are there free weekends sometimes?

Also, how long are matches generally?
 
Yeah, when I win, the rounds aren't longer than 30 minutes. That's enough time for 4 full rounds, but probably many more failed rounds.

Imagine if they did a free weekend though. They might be able to get a ton more people to buy in.

My understanding is a player - whose team was fully dead - was watching the main stream, as you are allowed to do once your team is eliminated, and for whatever reason the main pubg stream switched to that players monitor, making it look like the person they were previously watching alt tabbed to look at the stream.

It's kind of a bit hearsay at the moment, but I'd be really surprised if anybody was stream sniping.

Knowing how incompetent these observers seem to be that wouldn't surprise me at all.
