PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

I really feel like they should just protect your entire head. I don't care about realism, having inconsistent head protecting is just annoying.
I feel like it's too small of an area to have separate protection on, especially in a game like this where netcode and hitboxes is never gonna be as good as a game like CS:GO. When it comes to damage and protection you should just keep it clear and simple in my opinion. Helmet = head is protected, vest = chest is protected. I mean helmets in this game aren't realistic to begin with so why not make it a bit more game-y for consistency's sake.
I know right, they don't even protect your face without face plate like normal kevlar helmet does! Oh... Wait a second...
Helmets protect your head, T3 even face. Vests protects your torso. Hitboxes and netcode is consistent enough to land face shots if you just aim and hit. So yeah, it's very simple system overall.
I mean if we're going down the realistic route a helmet aint gonna do shit to stop a 7.62 bullet.
edit: also, apparently level 1 and 2 helmets protect your entire face anyway? https://youtu.be/FCQulQtwzFY?t=25s

First time I died my controller went apeshit, vibrating itself right off the desk. I quickly unplugged it and the game sent me a message telling me to plug it back in and it wouldn't continue until I did---well, it never continued, I had to kill it.
Anyway, that shows it is definitely aware of controllers and has at least vibration support which would lead me to believe it has more. I don't use controllers in games like this so that is all I can tell you.
On the helmet argument I'm pretty sure Sacriel and friends tested that on stream today. It didn't matter where you shot somebody in the head, face or back of helmet, same damage, which means your face isn't more vulnerable.

I shot a teammate and I still feel terrible about it, even though I revived him and gave him a red bull. I'll never live down the shame.
From my experience it is missing a few too many bindings to be useful. You can move, change weapons, aim, and shoot, but you can't crouch, prone or run. I'm guessing they started work on controller support, but didn't finish.
Or maybe I just didn't look in the settings far enough.
We just won a squad match, it was insane, we killed around 20 people the whole game, i only got 4 kills but i was mainly the driver and the one who was chucking smokes so that we could advance, and none of us died which made the victory even more sweet.
In another match where we lost, we conquered the school while the map kept getting smaller and the school became the center point, it was an amazing fight when guys where pouring from every direction constantly to the school. It was like a 30 minute firefight, it was awesome.

A guy I was trying to run down headshot me with an M16, and my car kept going after I died and killed him.

Had this happen more than once in our group. Friend threw a grenade out a window, or rather tried to, realized it fell back inside, knocked out both him and another teammate. Later in another match a buddy ran right into my line of fire as I backed up after opening a door. He knew it was his fault but I still feel a tad bad about it.
No shortage of funny moments regardless of the outcome.
Patch notes are awesome, cannot wait to see how the patch affects my FPS.
Got to #2 in a team, but it was a learning experience more than anything. We came in together toward a tree and he had a shotgun, in the future, wide pincer move is the best call for 2v1.
Loving it even more after learning more, i'm probably 35 hours in without a solo win. Gotta get one of those this week.

Finally
I believe that PUBG reddit has a discrod too.
No idea but this discrod is gaf I would say.
Can't wait for tomorrow if that is the patch release date.
Those patch notes sound so good.
Game is awesome, been playing a lot of duo with a buddy which is mega fun, really fun when the rest of the guys can get on for squad though, such a laugh.
Had a great moment in the military base not long after landing, my friend was attacked by two guys and he was hiding in cover down a long corridor, I was moving to his building anyway - I'd just killed someone running into his building from outside - managed to sweep round, take out the 2 guys from behind and save my friend. I bet they had no idea what happened haha.

I did not know you can already buy skins? ~350$ for the whole package, lol.

You can buy them on the Steam Market as well. I assume the majority of the high priced cosmetics are for the ones people got for preordering before EA went live, which can't be obtained any longer.
Unfortunately there isn't a way.
That's so freaking great. So I can finally just set foliage on ultra even though there's no difference. This is good, and fair for everyone. It's probably one of those things I'm looking forward to the most in tomorrow's patch. And of course the adjusted sounds for footsteps too.

oh shit, all the real Gs play on test
Do you mean the title of the game?
Because in that case -
PLAYERUNKNOWN is the dude that pioneered the Battle Royale (video game) genre by creating the original ARMA mod and then later on helped SOE create H1Z1 King of the Kill. Now he is creating his own Battle Royale game hence the name - PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Hot damn, man. What does the setting even do now? Can't tell the difference from the pic.
Looks great though.

Congrats, closest I got was #4 with 4 kills.
Ah I see, thanks. Bit of a weird name regardless.
Check the mountains in the bg
It's so everyone has the same amount of foliage. I'm not sure Ultra or Low does anything really.
One step at a time.
What? It removes fuck ton of trees from background mountains etc.?
People don't have great perception? Like very few realizes that minimap in Sacriel's streams is fake.
Whoops. Yeah I see the detail now. i.e it messes with distant trees only, grass and bushes stay the same.
Nah , noticed it after I had posted. Also on mobile.

With extended mag 25 rounds. Extremely high RPM. Sad that they neutered mag size instead of taking authentic route.
