That match was awesome and i wish i recorded. I killed last one with car, lol. I used car as barrier and than i went over to last person with doing zig zag and he could not hit me with tension of position or whatever. 
It's supposedly coming out of early access this year which gives them less than 3 months. We'll just have to see if they can meet that self imposed deadline.
Only things announced to be coming as far as I know are the vaulting/climbing mechanics and a new map (with new vehicles). I think a 3rd map is in the works as well, to be released some time after the game leaves early access. Of course, they are continuing to optimize and fix bugs as well and they've said that just because the game leaves early access, that doesn't mean development on the game stops. There were some AMA's on Reddit recently where Greene answered questions about the game's future. Single player came up and I think he was non-commital. Other things like a CS:GO like map rotation came up too. It's a safe assumption that there will be more maps and changes to the game post release.

More maps seems like a no brainer
Learning a ton of new maps sounds engrossing for core players. And having so many different kinds of maps sounds like the way a BR game should be
Also having "seasons" where a few maps are in rotation at a time and others are temporarily out of rotation would keep things fresh and help give the game even longer legs. I hope this becomes a thing.

This must be what watching the stock market is like.

As I understand it, these crates only give you one item so there should be a ceiling on how high the price can go. I'm going to watch the price like a hawk and wait until it either flatlines or drops $0.50 and then I'll sell.

I hate this game.
Actually there is a small chance they drop a full outfit box
Wouldn't worry about, probably just a rush of people starting to sell as the crates reach the price they want. Unless there is a massive influx of crates that pumps the number to >50000 again, they will continue to increase in value.

I just acted like a little loot goblin for a guy who crouched behind a wall on the edge of the circle for at least a solid minute while I killed three guys for him (including someone with a car), then when I went to go loot one of them in the blue he just popped right out and got me.
I wasn't even mad at the cheese, that dude was patient.

God damn I really love this game. Just put my 66th hour into it. Nearly the entire amount of time I've spent playing VR combined this year.
Still no chicken dinner but I'd say I'm getting fairly capable. My biggest want right now is for all the intense character customization stuff to come about. Its pretty rare that the game frustrates me. Its just so fuckin exhilarating. Ive played while trackig my heartrate before it can get up into the 160 range if I get real flustered.
Almost as intense as dark souls.

Damn those crates are 4.50 now with under 30k for sale. I'm sitting on these twelve for a bit longer.
Yeah, I had three and forgot that I already had two on the market place. They sold at £2.50. Holding on to my last one to try and get the most out of it.

Same.
Haven't played solos in a while, picked up a nice 6 kill fog win.
People are kinda weirdos in the fog.

AS bug needs to be fixed yesterday
Think Mini14 might be my favorite weapon, runner up being Kar98.

NEVER GO TO A FUCKING CRATE. Jesus fuck.
I'm looting a house in the middle of nowhere. A crate falls nearby. I run to a hill overlooking it and set up for a bit. 1 vehicle drives up to it. That guy is shortly killed. Then someone else crouch runs to the crate. Someone else kills him. Then another guy runs to the crate. I kill him.
I wait a while. No movement at all. I slowly start crouch walking towards it and not 3 steps later I'm sniped by a mini14.
No idea where all these people came from but moral of the story is: fuck crates.

The best part is when you're in the middle of nowhere, you have a vehicle, you're far from the flight path, and you figure driving your fast car to the crate that's falling right next to you is a good idea.
Then as you get there, you see 4 different vehicles converging Mad Max style from different directions.

I just had the most absurd screwed over by lag moment ever.
I literally sprayed an entire magazine of M4 into a guy with level 1 armor and vest and not even looking at me as he ran around a corner, and then he turned and hit my arm twice with an Uzi and killed me.

This has happened to me too, it's great. Either it's lag, or they're Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction.

I just died throwing a grenade into a window that had those bars on it, and it bounced off, and then I died "from falling" when I got hit by the blast.
I like most of the grenade buffs, but those deaths by falling from grenades seem really... dumb. Like I get why the game processes it as that, but it feels silly.

I have textures and foliage on very high and Im usually hovering from 60-100
It wasn't that person, but oddly enough we did have two GAF squads end up in the same game last night. We didn't realize until we were top 10 and saw USDanny die, and we were like HEY THAT GUY IS IN THE OTHER DISCORD CHANNEL.
Unfortunately we got wiped right after they got wiped.

Go to your Compatibility properties and enable override high-dpi scaling. I jumped up to 144 with most of the settings on High, view distance on Medium.

i'm still new to the game and enjoying it. felt like an idiot my last match. was WAY outside the circle so had to leg it to get inside. by the time i got there i had to start running again to get into the next circle.
there were about 20-25 people left when i found a car. i was just waiting to get attacked since people would hear/see me driving so thought hey what if drive over this hill and jump out while the car is still moving and try hide? lol yep i died. all that time running for nothing and i kill myself lol. lesson learned don't jump out of moving cars. i've been playing way too much GTA i guess.

What are you wondering? I'm not amazing but I'm in the Top 2000 Squad and my boyfriend is in the Top 1000. I can answer some questions and stuff.
Just want a good general guide of best places to land, best weapons, stuff like that.
