860 is mobile GPU right? What i7? The game is pretty heavy on CPUs. If it's a laptop i7 it maybe a 2 core 4 thread CPU with lowish clocks. There are guides, like the one mentioned above to get the most out of your hardware though.

Yeah, it's a mobile GPU, probably comparable to a 750Ti. It can run DOOM on medium-high settings at 1080p around 30-40 fps. The CPU is quadcore i7-4710HQ CPU (2.50GHz, 8 threads).

Also agreed, streamers get so much potatoes against them that game looks so easy and fun.

On that note, here's how I died in a game I was doing very good in and I'm sure the guy was around 200m away because I couldn't see him anywhere I looked even on playback and it sounded very far to left side of vehicle, that's why I thought he'd miss one and I could get behind car. Perfect two tap with a headshot after my jump. Not complaining that the guy is good at the game but damn how do people in videos even get away and get a chance to heal. The people I play are like expert marksman when I'm in anywhere open. While I miss like half my shots from that far. Obviously it's all anecdotal and I'm just unlucky getting put against people with great aim but man my experience in the game has been super frustrating the last couple days. Wish I had some of that content creator magic touch lol. Watching Lirik now and he's destroying everybody and flipping his car over and it lands upright.. All the enemies so bad at aiming lmao. Crazy good gameplay from him.

Hopefully I'll start doing good again soon and can share some succesful gifs someday :D

Anyone know any youtubers/twitch streamers who are good, play solo and aren't insufferable? I really liked FrankieonPC's video but he only made one of them.

They usually squad up together for maximum shenanigans

For the guys who are getting chicken dinners AND racking up kills (8+)...what's your strategy? Do you play super aggressive and rush people, set up ambushes and wait on people...or something completely different?

I had a 10 minute stand off with me behind a jeep and the other guy behind a tree. At a point he fell on the edge of a red zone and I saw him peaking out to see if he should run, but he avoided the blasts. Eventually a stranger showed up and shot me in the back, but then he got popped by the guy behind the tree.

So how do people generally play this in solo? I tend to just be a coward and hide/camp for the majority of the time. Leads to me getting top 10 a lot but I never win because I'm terrible with actual confrontations haha. Made it to rank 2 once by just hiding in a shack whilst like 5 other people went at it outside. Was taken out pretty quick once I eventually left it though.

Seeing as I'm kinda shit with M+kb...Is it worth it to try a gamepad?

Honesty I can't see how it could be better. I know in some games you can get away with a controller but with this you really have to be very, very precise with your shots. I'm sure some could do okay with it but I know I couldn't.

This game takes a long time before you feel like you're gaining ground and improving but try to stick with the kb/m if you can, it really is the only option imo.

If you're having trouble tracking players I suggest turning down your sensitivity by quite a lot. This ain't no twitch shooter :)

Always a good time when you unexpectedly come across a crate that fell in the water in the final 5.

It's a tommygun. And I forget to set it to auto. Ended up costing me as I got 3 rounds in on the guy instead of a full burst :(

People shouldn't be allowed to sit way out in the blue with a sniper keeping you pinned down while you're in the white. Boo. Fuck off.

Rusty after a few days off, I crash my motorcycle into a fence... and then realize I've accidentally set up a perfect trap as the guy shooting at me jumps around the corner and I unload half a mag of Vector into him.

Then after getting all of his fancy stuff, I realize I cannot aim the Kar88 for my life, as I miss 3 guys running across an empty field and eventually get caught by the blue for my fucking around.

Bushes are amazing. Make you almost invisible.

Yes, they do!

I'm having the worst luck, found a lot of weapon but no backpacks or vests, go outside the house and a guy gets me pointblank with a shotgun. Another round, made it to 20s without vest or a helmet, encounter one guy, the lag kicks in and I start to warp out of cover just to get Kar'd in the face.

Well if it helps you feel any better, it definitely wasn't EmCee that shot ya... or me! ;)
I can't seem to use that weapon all that well these days. I can pick off people easier it seems with a ACOG and pretty much any assault rifle versus the Kar.

Oh, I haven't even seen one in the wild, and if I do, it's always pointing at me :/

Did they improve the hit detection or something? I went so many games without killing anyone despite pumping them full of bullets; but the last 2 games I have gotten 3 and then 4 kills quite easily. Feels so, so much better when things seem like they are landing.

I feel like the gun selection has been shit since they rolled back the 'fix'. Especially in Duo mode. Had a 3 rounds with a buddy and pretty all we found were shotguns and pistols.

Fighting in cities is a shit show.

I love the more open spaces and smaller houses instead.

I hope they don't turn it into COD with city maps.

Well, it would be up to them to make it work for their game. I agree, I don't want COD maps either, but I think they could make an attempt that would still feel like a good fit for Battlegrounds.

Won my first game in a while and then came in 2nd the next game after 😭

We had the greatest circle luck I've ever seen. We drove to Zharki at the start and somehow every time the circle got smaller it would be 100 feet east on the northern coast. We just hugged the sea wall the whole way over and then lost in a 2 on 2.

Not sure if this was already posted but custom games already looking pretty fun and can only imagine the greatness that awaits down the road...

Oh and of course, great commentary from StoneMountain64.

Someone on the subreddit floated the idea of 50v50 with two planes to bring in both teams at the start. I'm so hungry for someone to make this.

How big is this game? Steam says 30GB required but that seems way over the top.

New maps would be cool down the line, but I hope it's not a big focus for them right now. There's so much basic shit to iron out before they start jumping on huge new features.

If one of those maps isn't a cityscape they dun goofed!

The map in that picture is a city map?
