PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

It certainly can't be applied universally. Too many specific examples can go either way. I mean if you are truly that it in the open, you are likely screwed if they have the drop and started in cover.

Perhaps going into a broader topic but i was thinking.....

In recent games with Josh, had a couple times where i was much happier holding fire and not housing down passing cars, skipping small towns where we knew someone was for sure rather than trying to win a siege etc

Vs gotten annoyed when someone lights up in squad play someone 100 meter out or so when group isn't geared to all be able to fight at medium+ range (early game missing weapons or ammo). Often this turns into sure maybe you down a guy but being far enough out they can crawl and get revived and you just lost suprise.

Usually when i have this problem it's when we find a group looting an area so usually we have the weaker cover or if nothing else, rest of squad is just as suprised as you start shooting before everyone gets set. I've done it myself in the past. And obvious exceptions like whole group in open before they get to cover or you know they have spotted you.

Maybe some of that is just me coming from playing some even heavier team play games that rely on being "tactical". I do wish this game would add some more tools like on screen marking or something a bit better than trying to use made market to highlight a point.

I totally get what you're saying. There are some games where I'm extremely tactical, and some games where one or more of us are playing a more "yolo" style. I find myself sometimes getting a little pissed at a teammate for popping off too early, and sometimes I do it myself. The majority of the games that I win are when Josh/Heko/Ut/whoever all line up shots on the first guy if we have the element of surprise and all aim at the same guy to immediately gain quantity advantage.

However, I disagree with you on the additional tools to mark the screen/location/etc. I like the raw play style and actually having to communicate a heading, mark a location or describe a certain building. The only caveat being that I wish I didn't have to hit my map button, find the building, and then mark it, close the map, and get my bearings all over again. But I really hope they DON'T timmy the game up with call-outs and this that and the other thing.

UMP needed a nerf. I used it and killed more with it than any other gun, I'm sure. I'd go rifle/UMP EVERY game and even at the end I'd use the UMP more within 50m than my rifle which was 4x'd. The addition of burst fire is interesting. It takes 3 hits to any helmet with an UMP currently to kill some one. If they tighten the recoil on burst it could be super deadly. Burst Vector may be really good, too. Personally red dots on pistols is AMAZING. It means you're guaranteed at LEAST one suppressor per game since you can just use a pistol suppressor with a red dot now for close quarters sneaky stuff. Pistols outside of 50m with suppressors are basically completely silent, too.

What a lot of people aren't complaining about, but SHOULD, is the circle changes. They're making it land LESS in the middle meaning that vehicles are now more required to survive early and mid game. It also boosts camper RNG. People are going to be in the 'right' houses and just sit in that shit while people have to migrate from the far fringes and get picked off. I hate that shit.

Also it almost seems like they're confirming SCAR-L is the best rifle. I have noticed a lot of them, but I think I've seen just as many AK's/m16's and less M4's. I think they showed their hand that SCAR is the superior rifle due to its basically 0 horizontal recoil.

I certainly dont want something like bf where you mark the target, just a kinda vauge 3d target on screen... Dunno, I'd think hard to do with the engine anyways.

I suppose what would help if there was more building variety, because too often you have multiple identical buildings near each other so describing on the fly can suck.

This might be the shittiest final circle I've seen. Guy with an SKS was camped out behind the big rock. Was a duos game but the final 3 were all solos. I waited til the last second to move since I wasn't 100% sure if it was 3 solos or team + me, but the 3rd guy started running up from my right and got the winner's attention. Tried to pop him real quick but after he killed the 3rd guy he just ducked back behind the rocks and I died from circle rape. Hell you can see most of my legs are outside the wall. Maybe I should have ran farther east originally, but I caught a duo that I lit up just behind where I'm sitting in the pic as they ran past me and for some dumb reason decided to jump down to that rock and hope for the best. Nope, right in the pooper.

Camper RNG at it's finest. Been there too many times. Really can suck the fun out of the game when it happens to you several games in a row top 10, too.

I wasn't really complaining, just bummed.

Had some good fights last night with Ut and Co. I'm ready for Friday night.

I played a quick game over lunch on the new patch. The plane is definitely a lot smoother, and game play overall seemed slightly improved. Only played the one game so can't tell to the full extent how much it improved but it was slightly noticeable. Pretty happy about that at least.

Don't forget to bring a towel.

I thought you wrecked shop last night Ut? I'm pretty sure you saved me at one point.

I'll also be on.

Edit: Wonder if they nerfed Jeydax Junction. When we went to Utnayan's Pet Shop, (due east) I found 2 4x scopes, 1 2x scope, a holosight, and a bunch of guns.

if you are talking about here, that has already been claimed as Muurtown

Jeydax Junction is still good. I landed there in the game I played and found an 8x, level 3 backpack, lvl 2 vest, lvl 2 helmet, AK, M16A4, SR silencer, (2) SMG silencers, couple first aids.

A plane flew over and dropped the crate about 300 meters to the south so I just sat at JJ and wracked up 3 kills while people tried to loot it.

JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ!
