So played a game where my buddy bugged out and got disconnected then I get stuck in a corner and appear under the earth in a separated sea. Ended up getting first place because the dudes couldn't find me. I'd of been going crazy if I were them but I had to see if I could do it. Going to report the bug but man is it funny.

I was under the assumption that if I'm indoors in a red zone, I would be safe... apparently I was wrong?

Yeah, I had one blow me up in the very center of a house, completely ignoring the roof. Working as intended? Haha
Maybe a bug? I've seen explosions inside houses that didn't kill me.
Killcam is coming, but spectator mode would be too easy to exploit. For example just have a friend join the same game and then die right away so that he could spectate while keeping you updated in skype.

Anyone that plays on the EU servers want to play some duo matches? Would be good to have teammates who don't randomly wander off or disappear!
I have the worst luck with vehicles, especially so when I'm completely stacked with loot.
I've had those tiny barbed-wire fences immediately explode my full-health buggy as I drive through them (even as my squad-mate plows through them on a bike right next to me).
I've had tiny humps flip my bike and kill me immediately (even as I watch people barrel roll all the way down a hill on one and survive).
I've had Dacias suddenly flip out on the geometry and murder me while I'm stood next to them in a garage, and jeeps run me over cos I parked them against a wall.
Never get in or be near a vehicle that I am involved with.

Just finished up #3 (my best solo finish so far) in a round where I didn't shoot a single bullet. The rain really helps for stealth - I managed to get myself positioned in the centre for the final few circles, hid in the tall grass and just let the last 20 or so people kill each other off in a dark, hilly forest area. Final three was tense, no shots for what seemed like an eternity, but the player who got me was being more proactive, plus I lacked any kind of scope to spot them first.

You can disable it in the options if you only want your team to hear you.

I'm not sure with a lvl 3 armor/helmet but yes it's mostly one shot, and with a choke you can increase the range to 30-40m I believe.
The price resets weekly.

This game is pure adrenaline. I played all afternoon with a friend and not two games were alike. Just straight up fire, win or lose I haven't had so much fun playing videogames in a long time.
Even when the game crashes because of stun nades and you're 19 people from winning doesn't take the hedge off. From the crazy firefights right after landing to the tension when you're only 8 fellas left in the fields and the circle is shrinking, I just like to congratulate the people behind this game, you did good fellas!

2nd place again! Fucking guy must have had all level 3 armor because I was unloading on him with my Uzi from about 20 feet away.
I've come to the conclusion that running to the center of the circle as early as possible is the correct strategy. Whenever I wait too long I get picked off trying to run away from the blue wall in search of cover

The play area has shrunk the last 4 times around my camp spot. I'm feeling good about this match...19 left.

GOD DAMMIT!
Made it to #3.
I think my number #1 dislike right now, though I completely understand why, is that you can't spectate. I want to see who wins in the end

I tried most of these survival last man standing type games and thought they were all shit but this one is actually pretty damn good.
I do wish there was a kill cam though. Died a couple times and would have loved to know where I was getting shot from.
This too.

Got my first chicken dinner today with two of my friends.
Was really intense in the end, but the last circle was in a great place (not necessarily for us). Felt good to finally get a win.
[edit] It really payed of to go for the create drop. I got an awesome assault rifle with 100 shot clip (forgot the name). It really helped in the end to be able to unload on an enemy without having to worry about reloading.

Why do i keep starting Duo matches without a teammate? It's happened a few times now.
Damn, i hope they have destructible buildings in a later build.
Does taking your shoes off help with stealth?
Nah. If anything it makes you stand out more because it sounds so different to boots which most people are wearing.

Trying to keep your attachments while also looting someone else's shit is annoying. Didn't realize how much time was left and dropped my M16 for an AKM but lost my 4x scope and other attachments because the ring had closed on me

Went on a holy terror from across the map to make it to 6. I made a huge mistake and went to loot somebody's corpse I gunned down.
