PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS Early Access Thread: This Is Battle Royale

Yeah but you respawn in Battlefield. It feels like it would just delve into a solo match whereas everyone will run off and do there own thing then when they die they'll leave and move onto the next game. It's an interesting concept but the whole point of playing on a team is to have some semblance of team work which even in something like Battlefield will happen whether you're capturing objectives or doing TDM.

Then it's way closer to pubs in Counter-Strike which are actually even more successful :p Even then, in Battlefield the concept of your squad within the team still exists, I think the mode would be worse off for trying to arbitrarily force a smaller amount of encounters with larger groups.

In this case what it'd offer is a unique experience over solo/small squads wherein you could end up in a scenario of being a small group of people versus a very large amount coming from multiple angles. In standard matches now, this concept doesn't really happen if you're held up somewhere because surrounding disparate groups tend to take each other out first before closing in.

The idea was floated around the subreddit a while back and was pretty well received

Win 3 1v1 fights each of which I should have lost, then have a fight I should have won and the other guy runs through a full a magazine from a scar-l at 15 ft like that dude in Pulp Fiction.

Is there a way to make it so when you hold right mouse, you zoom in?

This click toggle shit is infuriatingly bad and I've died a lot because of it.

My brother and I just got 1st in duo took me 19 hours. It was such a rush! I screamed "YES!!" When I saw the screen. I only get that excited when killing a difficult boss in the soulsborne games.

They need to lower the grass height by half in most areas. This game has become a disaster in solo. You wont win but if you lay in the grass and shoot people walking by you might get 1 kill before dying to the gas because you just camp camp camp.

There should be a collar around our necks and if you are still for ten seconds it starts beeping super loud. Still for 20 seconds and it explodes killing you.

Really desperate to get this working on my PC but I don't think it can cope, has anybody got 6gb of ram and running the game acceptably?

Managed to win 2 games in a row, almost three but we got caught in a bad position in the final circle. I wish that they would reduce the footstep sounds, i hate how it it's almost impossible to sneak behind guys without them hearing it.

Yeah, maybe they'll let those boots you can find in some buildings eventually be a little quieter

Awful suggestion.
 
I had a very odd moment today where I sniped a guy at like 35~ people left and, while I couldn't stop to loot his body, I'm 99% sure he had no guns or gear at all.

Ugggggg unfortunately while playing this game my new CPU died, ax370 gaming k5 says the CPU is the problem, I highly doubt that but I started an rma with AMD and ordered an asrock mb, see which one is really the problem

Having a good scope and a silencer on a rifle in this might be the most powerful I've ever felt in a video game. You can just reach out across distances and snuff out someone's 20 minutes of effort and they've got no chance.

Silenced Scar with a 4X is heaven

I just got my 2nd chicken dinner, it was during a squads game once again. All 4 of us survived, so satisfying. Love this damn game!

In mid/late game circles, is there any point to taking buildings? I feel like even if I find something that isn't defended with good vantage points, I end up getting screwed trying to camp in the building anyway. Maybe I would be better off proning in a bush out in the open field instead.

Just don't use bad buildings, building camping is useful if you're only looking to win. There's only about 3-4 specific configurations of the common building types I find easily defensible though. The keys are a long chokepoint and a good position to watch it.

Good news: every single time you missed a shot it was because of this. Every time. Your honor is intact.

I knew it! Just kidding.

I had always thought that there was spread (like a cone of fire or something) with no feedback associated with recoil and that's why shots were missing. This might make the SKS and all of the ARs that aren't the SCAR-L usable in spite of their recoil now. I wonder if they did any weapon tuning in this patch. Guess we'll see.

Holy shit this makes so much sense! Like there are times where it's like: "Shit I missed," and then there are others where it's like: "WTF!!?? I hit them! How!?"

Edit: Also anyone else notice the FPS is worse since the latest patch? Used to be smooth. Now I'm getting a lot of FPS hiccups.
