So much for everyone insisting that the monthly patch was coming this week. Bummer.
Last month was the 4th week too I think, it'd be safe to assume the monthly patch's will be the 4th week (20's) of the month always.

I didn't realize I picked up a nade as my first item so when I encountered my first enemy I thought I had my machete out and killed myself with the nade 
How did you get that? Wouldn't mind jumping on that.
Through an email. It's a part of their "Birthday Sale" apparently.

Ugh, bumping a hay bale at low speeds should not cause your military vehicle to lose half its health and cause you to get severely injured.

Life is fragile. This game's got things to say.

I just dodged gunfire and grenades while running through the blue for 200m, got to a house with a car outside, pulled my Vector out and hid and healed, heard the occupant run out, peeked around corner to gun him down and take his car...
...and somehow while going prone I had hit both X and Z, and I had put my gun away without noticing.

I had the drop on someone with my UMP the other day. I hold LMB to unleash all my 40 bullets on him. Single fire.

I immediately bound hide gun to §
What are your specs? Next week we're due for a client performance focused update so there's a chance things could improve.

The single fire vs auto has gotten me far more times than I care to admit.
This is the voucher I got today for GMG: 5M5JRI-5GG96J-0RLMFV
Don't know if it will work for anyone else, but I bought the game today using it and it's letting me use it again.
No dice. A generous person PM'd me with an unused code earlier today too and it didn't work. Seems like it's tied to the username? I'm a member and never got an email with a code either so that stinks. If anyone wants to buy it with the coupon I'd be happy to paypal them $24 for a steam key

Earlier I was playing doubles with some Reddit rando. We played like three ok games and he left saying he "didn't think we could win together" it was weird he was kinda a dick.
Queued solo and got my third chicken dinner of the last two days next game lol!

Last weekend was full of GAF on GAF crime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1bhYuc3_ww
Had the funnest game so far last night.
I'm usually Mr Coward, but I decided to drop near the school (a group of 5 or so tall houses) this time and just go for it.
Initially I dropped onto the roof - but someone dropped down just before me and after a bit of running around he was the one who managed to pick up the first gun. He shot me a couple of times and I jumped off the building, with only 1/4 of my health left.
I then ran into the building from the bottom floor and managed to find a shotgun. I could hear the guy that was on the roof's footsteps, so I slowly walked up the stairs. I saw him at the top of the stairs in another room, but he didn't see me so I ran into the room opposite and closed the door.
Then I waited. Bam. Shotgun to the head. That felt real good. He had a first aid kit so I was able to heal up, then I hauled ass out of there.
Managed to find a car and on my way out to the centre of the circle, I ran over 2 people (!) completely accidentally. I'll take it.
My run faltered at the shack on top of the hill after killing 2 more guys. Unfortunately got headshot while looting. Serves me right.
Anyway, that was way funner than camping for 20 minutes in a bathroom.

Man, I really really really hope they add solo killcams soon. It doesn't feel fulfilling or encouraging me to try harder when I scan a horizon for a solid minute after the blue comes in (from the direction I came from), take several steps outside, keep watching again, step outside again, keep watching, then take one more step forward and an M16 burst fires from the empty field that sounds like it's right next to me and instantly headshots me.
Is the sound in the game borked? At least with my speakers, it's really hard to tell what direction shots are coming from. Even red zones sound like they're coming from ahead rather than behind when moving away from them.
This is incredible.
Things Im good at:
- Finishing in the top 10, man I keep doing this...
Things Im bad bad bad at:
- Everything else - I kill practically no one, never get lvl 3 stuff...Im a slightly clumsy ninja it appears
My last match, there were 15 in the last circle (or next to last) and me and another guy were driving in circles around a house trying to wreck eachother until 5 people died, then I got out...and got capped in the noggin

Those headshots tho.
I'm waiting for a nerf to come down on shotguns and the choke attachment at this point. It caught my attention when I briefly watched a Summit1G stream on Twitch last week. He was destroying people with an S686 thanks to the choke. It has some serious range and the power of a shotgun. I've been using it quite a bit, it's legit. No one seems to take me seriously when they see the shotgun out. I see people expecting me to keep moving in on them and they pop their head out to shoot, but it's too late. By then I've planted my feet at mid range and took aim.

On the clock I have 7 hours in the game gotten 4th twice once with my brother and another solo. Damn fine game and my first game of this type, now I am hooked. The first 10 mins can be boring or exciting depending on where the circle is and the second half of the match is so damn tense.

Still getting rampant freezes nearly every game. CPU core and GPU cores are running just fine. It's the only game that does this. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and verified the files through Steam. No clue why the game is so unplayable for me now.

I could try to describe what led to this scenario, but I'll just let you all enjoy the clusterfuck.
Genuinely some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen in this game and I love it.

Been getting mad screen tearing all of a sudden since the last patch. Have changed nothing on my machine so the patch has done something.

After an easy 6-7 games of complete and utter uselessness, I finally got back into the game. Fun again.
Glorious.
