of course, just bland and particularly frustrating to myself (more of a quake/unreal, run and gun gamer vs camping)

thanks for the replies duders! I'll have to give it a shot sometime, as this type of game mode has always interested me

You can play as aggressive as you want and it is a viable option. Ninja on Twitch for example plays very aggressive and gets a lot of wins.

My default tactic is to drop early along a major road, find a vehicle (they only spawn in a few seconds after your parachute opens (at the height it forces you to open it)) then drive to a town reasonably far away from the flight path of the plane. Easy looting in relative peace that way, and you have a vehicle ready for if the circle fucks you over.

Couldn't have done it without the vehicle spawn, very good tip. Need to make it more of a priority to lock one down in the early game

Why the hell are they dropping two crates at every drop now? It just ends up with a bunch of people having long range weapons and ending up in sniping fights, which while fun, are boring when it's the only kind of fighting that happens.
They don't that every time. It's random and sometimes it'll drop a couple really close to each other.

I'm the same, I like to run and gun too.

winning in this game is just so satisfying

Giant Bomb are streaming this and no buildings have loaded in for this one guy.

my friend has this when he plays, his buildings will only load the first LOD and he cannot open doors and the like until a minute or two passes

He just got escorted into a building and because the game was registering a floor but not drawn in, he just kind of floated in it and couldn't pick up the items.

I really want to play this but I use a MacBook that doesn't support it. Gonna have to wait for the PS4 version eventually I suppose.
 
Heartbreaking round where I survived being surrounded by three guys at the beginning, had no healing items or helmet for half the round, then ran through Pochinki and somehow survived despite getting into multiple firefights, final circle was in a field, I knew where the other two guys were and the final circle would be closer to me...

And I gambled and lost when I tried to make it to the circle and both guys immediately spotted me and there was no cover where I could stop and heal without being in one of their lines of sight.


I will reiterate, the UMP can be godly.

Join the discord for some yummy chicken dinners, great runs with SamuraiX and aSliceofSam.

Ahh this image finally explains why when I watch Japanese streams they're usually titled Katsudon or the chat is full of Katsudon jokes. That's the translation they used for this message, making a pun on katsu = win / katsudon = cutlet on rice.
 
I had a squad game yesterday where something inexplicably strange happened.

Our squad was rolling through some small houses at the beginning of a match, and just after grabbing a shotgun on the first floor of a house I see two enemies just pop up in front of me, in sitting positions as if they were in the back of a vehicle and not moving. I watched them for ten seconds, then decided to try shooting each of them with my shotgun. Upon shooting each, they vanished immediately and I got the message that I downed them. I never got the kills, so supposedly someone else got them back up.

I'm really hoping that it wasn't some weird hack by someone else that will end up getting me inappropriately tagged by BattlEye.
 

First dinner, a delicious fowl stuffed with bullets and tension.

I have an awful screen tearing with my RX 480

I'm on a RX 470, borderless 1080p and no tearing here, check your Radeon settings, maybe there's a conflict there.

Borderless doesn't give me any tearing, but fullscreen does. You can enable Vsync manually, though:

In AppData\Local\TslGame\Saved\Config\GameUserSettings.ini, set bUseVsync=True

I landed right near a guy and started to punch him as he ran into a house. He grabbed the nearby AR and I countered by picking up all the ammo. I then killed him in a melee fight. It had to be one of my favorite kills.

I've been in the opposite role before and died from melee while trying to load a gun or pick up ammo.

tip: when this happens - you can shoot through the entire building. if an enemy gets in it you can just wall the shit out of him

Also good way to get yourself reported as cheater if victim can tell with 100% accuracy that you had no legitimate way to kill him.

I know I wouldn't hesitate second to report player who killed me with method what implies wallhack.

Awesome lol

Last week I had one of my faves. Some guy and I were racing around in cars, then I tried something silly and flipped my buggy. I exited and prepared to fight him, but rather than getting out himself, he switched seats and hung out of the passenger side. As he passed I lit him up and got him with a head shot. Loved it.

Then I hunted some poor sap who pulled up and tried to take me out. I felt invincible! And then 3 minutes later I was crawling through some grass and got uzi'd in the face.
 
Was naive and thought doing solo squad would be easier when I'm spotting a group of four people. I was wrong. So wrong. As soon as I see one, three others materialize and surround me.
