I’ve only been killed once in a way that i thought was shady but i shrugged it off as luck. It’d be nice if you could spec your killer after watching the death cam but bluehole sucks at this poo poo so w/e

I’m still blown away that they can’t make a competent lobby system after all this time. They don’t have any excuses as to why they’re still missing so many basic creature comforts. Like why do i have to listen to the loud rear end damage effects when i get downed in the event mode? Why is that there?

I was really struck by someone, maybe in this thread or another, who highlighted a connection between stalker and PUBG I'd overlooked but immediately agreed with: they both convey their information in game and not through overladen UIs. That's something I've struggled to mod into fallout and farcry because AAA titles cast too wide a net to afford being obtuse.

My point being that I doubt any traditionally made AAA BR game will overtake PUBG; it'll reign supreme in my heart excepting the off chance that another smaller studio makes something similar but more polished.

Yeah I totally agree with this, and I think the reason we aren't seeing big studios scramble to cash in on the BR thing is because it's a very niche game when it comes down to it. An average game takes 30 minutes, it's punishing as gently caress and it relies on having extremely good spacial awareness which basically requires the use of headphones.

PUBG is ~special~ and I gotta say aside from the many bugs that still exist, the Devs have done a great job of keeping it fresh and interesting with the new map, guns, etc. I don't see it going anywhere until we basically get PUBG 2.

Elman posted:

The CoD BR map is half the size of Erangal's military base (https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/8keesi/battle_royal_map_size_comparison/) so while they might rightly call it BR it's not going to be in the same style as PUBG. I haven't seen any further information about the Battlefield example but I imagine it'll be the same thing - deathmatch, on a bigger map, with no respawns.

That's not to say those won't be fun but the DOTA analogy is perfect - a hugely successful game and format, but one that's too esoteric and challenging to be made by any of the AAA studios without a substantial amount of simplification. LoL, and to a lesser extent, HOTS, scratch similar itches to DOTA but they aren't replacements, and I imagine that's going to be the situation with PUBG for a long time.

Yeah I don't expect them to nail what I like about Pubg, either. But they're certainly trying to cash in on it. And Fortnite has already proved you don't need to be a hardcore military shooter to succeed in the BR genre.

Even though pubg is pretty buggy, the sound of the guns is super satisfying.

The only thing I think BF would mess up is that their recoil system is almost non existant. I think people would be killing you from much farther away than would make sense. And also no peeking!

The gun play feels the best to me so I hope they add it to the next one. Also since the next one is more than likely WW2 it might be interesting with bolt actions and semi autos and the ARs being super rare.

Uh every major studio is currently developing a BR game. I'd guess that most will try to be out in time for the holidays.

Re cheating: yeah I haven't had even a suspect death since I started playing again.

Yeah, the cheating situation has improved tremendously over the last few months, at least on the NA servers.

I've only run into blatant hacking deaths two or three times in the last two seasons (hundreds of rounds), whereas in the prior seasons it was like 25% of every TPP game ended with some dude mag dumping an SKS into your face from 600m away in 0.1 seconds.

On one hand, this is good because gently caress dying to hackers. On the other hand, this is bad because my group of PUBG friends are lunatics who prefer playing TPP over FPP and when the hacking was rampant on the TPP NA servers I could at least use that to force them into playing FPP.

BF has peeking but it's contextually prompted. Sniper rifles having the big ol' glint would be nice for this game.

The hacking situation is in a really good place. I play exclusively FPP and always in either a duo or squad so ymmv with other modes.

Yeah, I have been playing more R6 lately but the obvious cheaters are almost nonexistent. The daily updates are doing a pretty good job, hopefully some of the previous crowd gives it another shot.

It's definitely not common, but just yesterday I got killed by a hacker in FPP. Our squad was bridge camping, and we killing the driver of this car crossing the bridge. The passenger leaned out of the window and then when he started shooting his viewpoint changed to being way up in the sky and he killed all 3 of us with 3 bursts. Very obvious hacking. But it seems pretty rare.

Not really surprised, this is a low priority and low severity bug. It doesn't impact gameplay much if at all.

I've been baiting more recently after watching some videos of people getting kills that way.

Go into a house, drop my best gear outside a bedroom. Go in bedroom and close the door. When I hear my poo poo getting picked up, unload right through the door.

Yes, I'm an rear end in a top hat. (I don't do it too often!)

What's the current "best" audio settings, assuming you're just using basic onboard sound and W10?

Here's what I've got right now:
Windows:
Bass Boost: Off
Virtual Surround: Off
Room Corrections: Off
Loudness Equalization: Off
Spatial Sound: Off

PubG:
There are...no relevant settings in the game?

yeah this is weird as hell and I ran into the same effect (though I got a game after about 10 minutes). FPP Squads and duos? Literally instant queue.

I reckon there's some matchmaking weirdness at play there tbh
