ARGH I just made THIRD in solo because I lost track of the time and got ZONED! I had a fucking crosshair on a motherfucker too, GOD DAMN!!!

And to think I had almost zero hope for this run when I started looting a three building complex and left with a fucking pistol a mile away, before some doof rolled up in a motorcycle and I snuck around and stole his bike HA HA!

I heard him popping off a few shots at me too.

Ha ha ha ha.

 

[TheRed]

Dammit, was doing well got to top 5 while running to circle sniper was taking shots at me and got me to like 30 percent health. Stopped to first aid but I was just outside of circle when behind the tree so it passed me and I ticked out with .7 seconds left for my first aid to complete.. There was a rock two feet ahead that was in the circle I could've taken cover behind

 

[Par Score]

Welp, game started crashing with memory errors almost as soon as loading into a game all of a sudden.

 

[Tovarisc]

really? so that bastard who shot me while i has hiding in a shack was cheating? bastard had me convinced there was bullet penetration. i was shooting at walls for nothing!!

Really. It is planned feature, but not in yet.

The only way to shoot into the shacks is either by breaking the door and shoot through the holes, or through the windows at the top.

not necessarily. its possible that the shack didnt load in for him. idk about shacks but i know in towns sometimes buildings just dont load and you can shoot right through them and the people inside cant shoot back. its a pretty ridiculous bug because i think it stems from all hits client side being registered with the server rather than being entirely a server side calculation.

idk if this is because its the only way for the servers to handle it with 100 people connected or if its just jankier with the amount of lag when its all server side but its happened to me like 3 times and its really ez kills

Well yes, cheating usually results in easy time

 

[theepicoftyler]

If you don't know where someone is it's likely because they're using a silencer or flash hider. It makes a massive difference when you're shooting at people even at mid range. I think the kill cam will just surprise you at how obviously close to you they were and won't reveal any secret super-awesome hiding places.

No, but it might teach you a thing or two about what you were doing to make yourself so easy to sneak up on, which is kind of the point. It's not so much about learning what other people are doing as it is figuring out what you yourself are doing wrong.

Killcam is a must, and I even wouldn't be opposed to them adding direction indicators to bullet damage. Even if it were extremely vague and took up like 1/4 of your turning radius. Just something to give you a general idea of what's happening. It is absolutely no fun to be killed by something that you had no chance of responding to.

I dunno, I kinda like the panic of figuring out where shots are coming from.

Spoiler

And watching that panic set in for others

[dave is ok]

I heard turning up view distance, anti-aliasing and textures to ultra actually increases performance?

What a weird game.

Nah, it's a survival game. You fucked up by doing whatever it is you did to expose yourself so learn from that. The sound in this game is fine. I'm usually able to spot people shooting at me from a distance. In just my last match I killed 2 people like that

i imagine thats only if you have a gpu thats better than your cpu. the higher your settings, the more the game leans on the gpu instead of the cpu and can increase performance for some. this is true of most games

Huh. Might be worth doing that for me. 1080 card but only an i5 4690k.

A friend and i just played duo for the first time (and reached top 3!!! but lost) and my highlight was killing #4, who thought he was well hidden behind a tree, but i hit him twice then watched him dance back and forth in each side, unsure of where the shots were coming from. Kept like that for a good 10 seconds, him running back and forth. My aim was off due to tension so i only barely snagged him as he decided to leg it properly.

 

[baddvision]

happy they're add it

The only way to shoot into the shacks is either by breaking the door and shoot through the holes, or through the windows at the top.

he definitely was shooting through the wall. but good to know you can shoot through doors

not necessarily. its possible that the shack didnt load in for him. idk about shacks but i know in towns sometimes buildings just dont load and you can shoot right through them and the people inside cant shoot back. its a pretty ridiculous bug because i think it stems from all hits client side being registered with the server rather than being entirely a server side calculation.

yea maybe it didn't load, like the plane for my match haha

 

[TemplaerDude]

My friend had an idea I liked of having a post game screen that "followed" your footsteps, maybe even indicated somehow when you were within a certain distance of an enemy (and typical stuff like shot taken, kills from, etc). I will say, however, that I really enjoy the in-and-out flow of the game, there's not a lot of waiting between matches, anything like that I'd hope wouldn't extend the time between games.

Just played a 8p squad shotguns only match. Woof, early game is a nightmare when everyone has primaries.

Saw something really weird today. I'm hidden in this little shack and I see a guy crouch walking in a straigh line. Before deciding to shoot him some guy hidden near decide to shoot him. Crouch guy eat a couple of bullets but he never stop walking in a straight line. He's kinda out of sight of the other shooter so I decide to shoot him. I shot a least 10 M416 bullet in this guy and he's not dead and he's still just walking in a straight line. I watched him walking straight into the electric wall. Don't know what the fuck was happening lol. Cheater I guess but the behavior was super strange haha.

 

[Tovarisc]

This makes sense in the early game when you want to take as few risks as possible. But as the game funnels you into smaller and smaller circles, you are absolutely forced to take risks and the game shouldn't punish you for that.

At end game it's all about minimizing that risk. Try carefully pick approach angle to later game circle and then go ham on using terrain shapes. Top 10 and less has a lot luck involved in surviving no matter what you do.

 

[catotheyounger]

A match I had last week is still on my mind. The circle moved for the third time, and I needed to move across a bridge. Knowing I was probably going to get ambushed, I found a truck to get across the fastest. On my way over, there were three other cars that seemingly made a silent agreement to create a convoy to make it across the bridge. Sure enough, as soon as we arrived at the bridge, automatic shots starts hitting the vehicles. Like a snake, each vehicle starts to zigzag in unison. One attacker on the bridge steps out from cover to get a better shot at the drivers, and I end up clipping him. I turn 90 degrees and hit the brakes to get his gear. Just as I pick up 1 item, I get shot with others hitting nearby. I turn and see that every other car in that convoy stopped as well in hopes to kill me, or to kill the others who were opportunistic. Automatic fire erupts among the drivers, one car begins to smoke, two die, and I am in need of health item. I know that I am pinned, with perhaps more of the ambush party on my heels, I decide to run for it. Just 20 yards or so and beyond my cover is a ramp that leads off the bridge. I put my gun away and spring. Asphalt kicks up as I run to the ramp and make my leap of faith into the water. I hit the water, and make my way to the shore. On the beach, there is a supply crate waiting. As soon as I get topside on the beach, BLINK. Headshot. Never saw it coming. Ugh. The highest of highs with the lowest of lows.

I really want a kill cam... Maybe only have it viewable after 5m or end of match to prevent cheating.


Like the handful of times i am doing great: fully decked out m4, 5 medkits, full armor, 5+ kills under my belt and BAM i get headshot from god knows where while im sitting in cover.

It means he crashed while crouch walking. I'm guessing that their hitboxes stay wherever they disconnected so you can't kill them.

I think an optional highlights reel at the end of the game would be cool. Shows your kills and death with both characters in the shot.

Killcam is coming to soloQ and they also plan to add feature where whole round is recorded (locations, actions etc. of all players) and you can play it back and fly around with free cam etc.

PU mentioned it today while chatting with guys from Gamasutra: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/139873408

Edit: Also vaulting system going to replace jump, if I understood him right

OMFGGG I just lost my first chicken dinner in the dumbest way. I had it locked up I can't believe it. I got it recorded and everything I'm so embarrassed. Holy shit I don't even wanna share it it's so bad. ( It was gonna be a great one too now it's just another great failure and #2. God damn. Even when I'm handed one I blow it lmao. I'm just gonna uninstall this game for a week and cry myself to sleep.

Ehh at least it was an entertaining way to screw up and I had no business even making it to number 2 if not for a smart idea I had but man on rewatch it's so easy to see how I could've won.

 

[SZips]

Hmm... a desert themed map? Interesting.

I wonder if they're going to offer up sandstorms as a weather option then. It may not be the snow map that I still hope they do, but it is quite different than the grass/forest all of these games have.

You were doing such a good job clearing the bushes. Even with not seeing him and him getting the jump you still almost had him!

I know, I was so focused on bushes I wasn't even thinking of him crawling in the grass. Was a really foolproof choice to go for that buggy when it got to top 15 I knew a lot had snipers from watching killfeed and was just like fuck it I'm not gonna play their game. It was working so perfectly but I had to try to alt look around to see if he was to my side at the worst time and hit one of the only tiny trees left in that circle. Lol I'm over it now but that one really stung and would've been such an enjoyable win.

Just got the game and played my first match. Holy crap that was intense! I survived to #4, but got killed by the blue force field because I couldn't figure out how to get out of a house. I hope this game comes to consoles so I can play with my friends who all only have Xbox ones.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Barely mow down a guy heading into my house who knows I'm there, load up on guns and ammo, find a motorcycle, realize I'm near the center of the bigger circle so I can be safe, pop a guy twice or thrice with the SKS and hear him skulking outside behind a low stone wall trying to loop around, try to grenade him, grenades hit the roof of the balcony and can't get an angle on him, he throws a nade into the balcony, I hop out, someone else starts shooting at him from afar, he's popping up to look at me, I have a split decision between risking riding off the bike and getting shot in the back and standing my ground to get him as I hear him looping back around the other way, I decide on the latter....

Spoiler

and my gamble doesn't pay off as my M4 only scores a handful of hits to the chest and arms as he rushes from the wall with the S12 and pops me. Nobody but myself to blame, but good job to him nonetheless.

Played a few matches of this for the first time. Are items random in locations or are they the same every match. I hope random because being able to memorize where the good stuff is could be a problem.

Item spawn locations are random, only thing static is car locations I think or it's that they are static in location but are randomized to be there or not on load.
