Just landed in a map and was loading a gun. Guy ran in the room next to me, runs out the door and is 10 feet away when I die from a headshot punch. WTF. Lag in this lately is pretty bad.

Jumping punches to the head can almost entirely kill you by itself, might not have been lag.

I agree with just about everything you said. It would be great if a hit from a melee kinda knocked you off balance and made your view go a little blurry because as it is now I won't even pick them up in the very beginning like you did. I'd love to have a reason to though because items in the game like that should have some redeeming quality but so far they don't. But I feel they'll address it in due time so I'm not worried.

I don't bother picking them up either, except for this situation, where I knew there was an enemy close, and the house I picked to scavenge had no other weapons at all.

Finally picked this up. Only had time for a single game but came 18th, which I didn't think was too bad for a first try. I'd have probably done better but I forgot the button to switch to first person and couldn't aim properly at the guy I was shooting at! :D

Got my first win today!

4 kills.
Last dude had me dead to rights, completely lit me up, but I got around a rock at the last second and he backed off instead of pushing me while I healed, and I popped out and got him. That zone gets really small really fast

wtf, got to #5 without encountering anyone, the circle kept closing on my location. I kept hearing footsteps and cars and was doing circles in this wooded area till I made a wrong move and died. I basically didn't even really play the game but it was intense as hell.

I wish these types of games would just go strictly first person for once. Nearly all of them have both which means that the vast majority of people will play third person easy mode and the 'hardcore' mode dies out pretty quickly.

This game came out of nowhere and it is so good that I can't believe it. PUBG hooked me in a way H1z1 never could. The game play mechanics are far more intuitive than H1z1's weird arcade style. I had written off the battle royale games, but now I'm a believer. Time to get good. I did manage to win a game with zero kills.. Haha. It really felt cheap though.

Just started playing, have 3-4 rounds under my belt.

Anyways, I'm running, try to survive the circle which is slowly draining my life. I've holstered my guns in the hope it allows me to run faster. Constantly using alt to check around me and somehow I miss this guy and somehow he missed me and we're there, running right beside each other---I mean right there, probably less than 10 feet of space between us---for who knows how long. We both seem to realize it at the same time, dodge away from each other while scrabbling for weapons and then start shooting.

That was my 2nd kill ever in PUBG, already entertained.

lol!

It's weird though, the audio when I'm running sometimes sounds like someone is running right next to me. I'm always looking around after sprinting because of it.

thanks for the laugh
first person only can't come soon enough.

trying to siege a building when they can just lie on the floor and monitor your every movement is the dumbest shit, that's before you get inside and everyone stands up against a wall using their 90 degree wallhack.

I really want to scare the fuck out of someone by charging at them in a car in those little tunnel bunker areas. So far I haven't seen anyone in them when I drive in there.

Made it to #3 on my second game without killing anyone. Get to the last little circle and dude is waiting for me in the bushes. Fuck you, guy in the bushes

Is anyone running this on ultrawide? I just set up my triple monitors, so I'm now at 5170 x 1080, but the FOV setting is bad, as it has the camera right behind my head. I saw a thread on Reddit about changing the FOV by editing the Engine.ini file, but when I tried that, it made no difference. Maybe they patched out that change being allowed?

Yeah they removed the option to edit in those settings. Quote below is from the recent patch.

Prevented adjusting the FOV by changing the game settings file (ini).
FOV will be adjustable from the settings menu in-game in a future update.

Goddamn, tried to lay in wait for someone to grab a UAZ, but I made a noise when they entered the house and they circled around outside to the windows, and we had the tensest shotgun my shots kept hitting the bottom of the window sill.

I agree that they should just get rid of third person in all game modes. The amount of salt would be unprecedented though, it's​ just i see the first person only servers being low on player count compared to the regular.

They shouldn't remove 3rd person from the game because only minority wants 1st person only lobbies. Forcing 1st person on everyone would push quite a lot people away from the game.

Yeah, I doubt the developers have the balls to switch to first-person-only if they even wanted to. If you're going down that road you gotta do so from the start.

whats wrong with 3rd person mode? You can see things the player character shouldn't be able to? True, but everyone is able to do that. Guess some people don't know how to use that properly.

Just because everyone can do it doesn't mean it's good for gameplay. It's just an even playingfield of shittiness.

Or some people just don't enjoy corner humping and tree hugging in 3rd person? It makes game a lot easier and also can create some absurd stands offs. As both parties are humping the tree in 3rd person without need to actually peek for visual so no one does nothing until 3rd party flanks someone.

"Well just play in 1st person!!!" argument is coming, but that is derpy argument. Just because you don't particularly enjoy game mechanic it doesn't mean you are going to put on concrete shoes and handcuff your hands behind your back.
