PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Vehicle must have already been really damaged if it blew up in 1 to 2 shots from an M16. Takes quite a few shots to blow up a vehicle. Very few guns are also 1 hit kills especially if you have armor, unless it's a headshot.

Then there must be a lot of hackers. I see headshot constantly even in moving vehicles.

I made it to last 4 again last night and then died in a stupid way (par for the course). There was a guy in the building I was behind. He opened the door and stepped out and I shot him through the door, but didn't kill him. I went to throw a stun nade where I thought he was (around the corner) and then after I heard it pop i went around my corner to attack him, well here it was a f@cking smoke nade! and he walked out and killed me. I need to learn the pictures between the stun and smoke nades better.

It's an early access game that revolves around a popular game mode. Of course there will be cheaters.

 

[EXCellR8]

think i might need to give it a shot, once it's out of early access though...

what's more fun. playing solo or squad?

 

[Muscles]

I've played countless games and have seen zero evidence of hacking of any kind. Don't believe the people spreading fud. Most fun is solo and duo in my opinion.

 

[pontifex]

I've had 3 suspicious deaths in 26 hours of gameplay. Can't say for sure they were cheating because the game is so unoptimized it could just be game issues, server issues, desync, etc. There are cheaters out there though. I've seen video of them on youtube.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Heck they could just be good, but I think my real issue is just the sheer amount of halfway across the map killing in one shot (with level 2 helment and level 2 vest). I really do find this game kind of boring. Sure it is tense, but when you just get 1 shot every time you encounter someone (if you even see them) it gets pretty old after awhile. Not to mention you can get to the top 20 if not 10 pretty easily just by not doing anything. I can sneak and collect stuff all day, but that isn't exactly exciting, and I'm not the camping type.

Real life is already out there, and I've done the whole "in the army" thing, so I'm finding I am not fond of wanna be game realism and chatty video game badasses ...speaking of which how do you mute the entire server? I prefer my games a bit more arcad-ey than complete sim I think is what I've discovered since my tour, so while the concept may be cool, I prefer The Culling over this (well, used to..they've since ruined what was an amazing game).

 

[EXCellR8]

nothing you can do about the e-badasses... just mute em. half of them are younger than 15 and haven't been in an actual fight, ever.

i hear the developer for this is doing a good job of addressing the issues and releasing patches. that's definitely some incentive.

 

[Chiropteran]

Hackers exist, absolutely. One duo game me and my partner were in separate rooms underground in the military base, and out of nowhere we suffered a hit- about 1/5 bar of health. A few seconds later it happened again. No other player was ever visible and we both took the damage at the same moment, rooms away from each other.

 

[Chiropteran]

Netcode is kinda sad in this game. High latency is massively rewarded.

This guy played on the asian servers as a demonstration and never took a hit.

Eh, it's in essentially beta and queuing across the world isn't going to help. The idea that somehow we are going to have perfect connections in an online game and that something wouldn't be off is just silly.

Sure, but I feel like this is just so incredibly backwards. You don't design a system that rewards high latency, because anyone can artificially increase latency by playing through VPNs. It's terrible design.

I mean I remember the old days of Quake 3 Arena and it was just about the opposite, the low ping players were always near the top of the leader boards, but at least getting a low ping wasn't something you could fake to cheat your way up. Not to mention there is a finite limit to low ping, while high ping play has no such physical limits/

 

[smackababy]

The problem is you're talking about two vastly different things. And, even then, players with high ping generally aren't rewarded vs players with low ping. The game itself lends to to "who sees who first and both are generally hiding" at the moment and isn't fully optimized, but this isn't a typical experience for a high latency player (and even then, his ping isn't THAT high in most cases, as I hit around 200ms on Asian servers from the Midwest US). And, all of his kills involve the people either being piss poor at the game or him sniping them before they see him. If he was on a server with 15ms ping, all of those kills would have been the same with the same crap players.

At the end of the day it's a game. I enjoy the rush from playing in general. Plenty of great players out there who headshot on the regular. Aculite and JackFrags are two prominent examples.

Story of my life in this game.

i wouldn't wait, they are KILLING it for an alpha. solo is great but squad is a blats too. it's really a great game. i've put 60 hours into it in 2 weeks. 1 solo ckn dnr, 2 squad CD.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I ended up uninstalling it. After multiple games of being 1 shot from miles away, but I can't even register a point blank hit it was time to hang it up. Also a crapton of wallhack users. I wish I could have video'd the one I saw yesterday. I might come back later once it's out of EA but doubtful. That isn't something they are going to do anything about. The only things I see complaints about is FPS - which is fine here.

I need to remind myself not to get caught up in the EA hype of these games. Just don't have the want to be a beta tester these days.

 

[BW86]

Made it to last 2 yesterday with 5 kills. So close!

he also looks like he has an aimbot.
There are times when his cross hairs magically allign on target.

Finally.

Maxing out the brightness, contrast, and color settings on my monitor really help in this game.

Anyone else experiencing stupid amounts of lag when you throw a stun? Tonight some guy was behind a wall across the street shooting at a passing UAZ and I came down the hill and tossed it across the street. Hit him with the stun but it lagged so bad I didn't think I'd make it across to put some shotgun in him.

He was decked out in a AKM and vector so stunning was a good move but that lag...

 

[smackababy]

They announced client performance patch coming May 25th and next month's patch will be server side performance to better address lag. They are certainly working on making this better.

They removed the stun nade this patch because of that issue.

Did I went to throw a frag made out a window tonight and it bounced off the damn glass back in the room and killed me. I threw nades through glass before, so this really pissed me off. The guy I was attacking got some decent gear off my dead body.
