Clearly, your next match would be first. No idea why you are quitting. Can you not see the pattern?
People camp in both in my opinion. You can be 100% invisible inside a small shack or behind a ridge while having near 180 degree visibility above it in TPP.
I'm glad to be almost finished with the TPP mode wins. I almost always use first person camera anyway, and I would occasionally remember near the end "oh yeah, I can cheat while pushing by just looking over the hill with the camera so I stay safe". It worked but felt gross.
Each mode has its challenges. A chicken dinner in TPP is just as good as one earned in FPP. I actually think first person is a tad easier since most people like to camp in this mode and you don't have to be concerned about switching between 3rd and 1st person mode like you do in TPP. In TPP I like to switch to first person when clearing out houses. I get people think TPP is less realistic since you can see over objects with the camera, but everyone has the same advantage.
Guess I am more pessimistic, I only see the pattern of just missing out on some juicy chicken.

Jumped on tonight and won a solo game with 4 kills 
Also played with the new Fog weather for the first time and it felt like a horror game, was awesome.
Would love them to do a special Halloween mode. Night time, with fog. Night vision from loot drops, can pick up gun attachments for torches but they give away position etc....

Maxed. Apparently it adds some additional zoom to the 2x scope.

The other thing this game needs is a god damn kill cam.
UGH.

I second that. Getting shot from nowhere in solo and left wondering where the bloody guy was.

They've said they're planning on a killcam for solos.
Also, my network performance was fine right after the patch, but starting last night and continuing onto today it's been really wonky. Laggy doors, laggy inventory, getting killed by seemingly the first bullet out of a gun, being hit just after you got behind cover (the Mini-14 is even more excruciating than normally because of this). Once I encountered this weird thing where I was on stairs and I would not swing my frying pan. It took five clicks before I finally swung.

That's disappointing. It doesn't affect the current game, but I feel like the "How the hell did I die?" Is one of the better aspects of the game and another skill you have a to learn.
I've only seen that if I queue on the default Asian server instead of NA.

Really annoyed that I keep defaulting to AS server :lol
Get out of here w/ that. How do you lean when you have no clue where the shot came from?

First game with new mouse (g403) + my first big mousepad.
I follow my sister advice and greatly reduce the mouse sensitivity (now 40ig with 800dpi).
The result :
Camping a car in the final circles is a pretty good strat to get rid of everyone behind you.
Yeah, monkeying with sensitivity and adding another stick of ram plus learning each long gun's recoil patterns has helped me tons on touching people off at midrange. Consistantly getting lategame unless I get blindsided or sniped.
Played my first few games after the latest patch last night, nice to see they've done some optimising in certain areas. I used to never be able to get over 60fps at Mylta Power, but now I get around 90fps+ which brings it into line with how the rest of the map runs for me.
Some of us don't really have a choice though. On the OCE servers we've only just had FPP Duo games made available, but we still don't have FPP Solo or Squad games. We can play on Asian servers of course, but then obviously you get lag come into play. FPP is great, but I still love playing TPP. They're both fun.
The whole FPP v TPP argument is just a wank really, especially when people try to use it to feel superior or whatever.

hell yeah! got my 1st fpp win and 2nd solo win overall. m14 gun might need a nerf..that thing is a laser.
anyhoo, got into the top 15 and decided to channel my inner DrDisrespect and played aggressive. Instead of hugging the blue circle, I was running early into the safe zone (except for the 2nd to last circle). Killed a guy laying prone at the edge of the 2nd to last circle then played it a bit more patient. Saw a guy on the opposite end of the safe zone running across but didn't want to fire as there was a firefight down a little hill to my left so I didn't want to give my position away. Heard the silenced rifle going off to my left and then a "so and so killed so and so" notification on my screen. Immediately got up and ran towards the lip of the hill to see if I can catch the winner of that battle off guard. (there was 3 of us left) I saw a body prone on the ground but wasn't sure if that was the guy who died or not. Body stood up and luckily I had a slightly damaged level 3 vest on. He lit me up but I was able to kill him.
At this point, circle started closing and I ran towards the left hugging the border. That's where the guy from earlier was running towards so I was hoping to get the drop on him. I crested the hill but couldn't find him. Crouched and scanned the right and saw a faint black/shade/blob in the bushes. Saw a little movement and fired off some m14 shots.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

Was there any reliable fix for the no menu bug? Was working fine yesterday and today I get nothing but an empty lobby screen. All windows and drivers up to date, etc...

Good. The absoulte worst thing is when you get killed and are convinced it shouldn't happen. Usually with me that is the sudden fps drop/lag spikes of close combat leading to me just suddenly being dead, so it'd be nice to see if the game can show me what "really happened". Plus it'd be good to help learn different weapon sounds and shot directions and all that when you're in a field and have no clue where you are getting shot from an panic, it'll be nice to see "oh, it came from that direction" and hopefully in future you will be able to pick up on that and get to safe cover.

2nd time ever getting a Mini14 and it was within the final few circles. Never had a chance to shoot it. Went with the M416 full auto for the win. I love this game so much more when the final circles do not end in the middle of an open field.

Anyone in solos noticing a lot more cheating now? I'm assuming its the mouse macro thing but I'm getting the drop on people and they turn and unload on me auto firing and seemingly never miss and its not as if its close range, were talking medium distance most of the times and almost every time has been the AKM which has crazy spread normally.

RIP just had my most embarrassing scrub moment ever. I was playing squads, my friend and I both had ghillie suits with M24 sniper rifles w/ 8x scopes while my other friends had snipers as well. We all got killed by a single person in a yellow track suit :|
redeemed myself by getting some chicken dinner when it was 1v3. Got the finally 3 kills when I was the last person alive in my squad.
It happens a fair bit to me. I know people could just be good, but when my rank is like 64,000 and someone kills me with midrange rapid fire P92 headshots while running down a hill through the fog, I do wonder.

Ugh, my closest yet.
Hit an awesome red dot snipe earlier, ignore my childish excitement afterwards

Almost! Consistency will lead to victory. Focus on top 10, the more top 10 you get the more likely you'll win.

Had this weird lag twice last night, might be a thing when you get killed.

It's only usable when you've got a grenade out I think. Though I haven't actually tried, I still just left or right click for throwing.
Also, nothing will ever beat playing FPP in urban areas. That is by far the best setting for the camera mode to shine and by god is it exhilarating. Having to actually use proper tactics of flanking and manoeuvre, checking corners, using flashbangs and smokes to weed out people with pepperings of cover fire. It's like virtual crack.
In saying that, bring squad FPP to OCE please Bluehole, I need it.
If it's just the reload button, I've tried it with a grenade in hand, and I've tried it after pressing left click, but nothing happens.

I wish there was a mode with faster circles. It takes too long in the beginning imho. Something that makes people move.
Or that the circle isn't static and moves slightly around so you can not camp the outer side so much in later stages. There is too much emphasis on doing nothing...

I finally got to fire the AWM. It doesn't sound as impressive firing as it sounds when you hear it in the distance. I don't think I've tried the M24 yet.
I also got a duo FPP win, but sadly I got killed by the last 2 enemies alive, so I'm still hunting a duo FPP win with both people alive.

doc suggested the circle should take into account where the remaining players are and set the next safe zone roughly in the middle of where everyone is. Shroud said something about how it'll make each game the same since people are going to still drop at mili/hospital most of the time.
Maybe have the first circle totally random to eliminate this and then take into account everyone's position for the following circles...?

got my solo! feelin alright, i don't play a lot of solo but now i feel like at least i can say i did it once
to be fair i think the game is forcing me onto asia server tonight so i might just be facing worse opponents due to server switch, but hey i'll take being better than 93 other people regardless
i shot the mini-14 once, does that thing actually have any recoil? god damn, my cursor didnt move at all, i just lasered a person down

Considering how many people stay near the edge toward the endgame it would just mean the circle would go toward the middle over and over. Either way the circle will fuck people over in every match regardless of the system behind it. The only thing I would like to see is something in place that prevents the circle from going into the same direction several times in a row. I think fucking over players once or twice is fine, but when you have to run because the circle is on the opposite side 4 times in a row it's starts getting silly.
New update did something funky to the servers
Use to get 120 - 190 ping to EU, which was playable
Since the update im getting 250 - 350 ;(
how do you check ping to servers
