Hit the nail on the head. Nobody is claiming this to be a better game than PUBG other than one poster in this thread yet the PUBG regulars come into this thread and muddy it up. Meanwhile in their own thread all they do is complain about campers, strategy, Discord vs teamspeak, etc.

So there is SOME bullet drop with the sniper, correct? When I learn these guns it's going to be a blast.

Came in 8th with 2 kills last night. Found a sniper and got into an open field fire fight against a guy with an SMG, was able to drop him and found like 15 bandages. Guy to the top of a building and noticed I was where the circle was going to shrink to to I decided to fort up and wait for them. But apparently I don't know how to use the sniper at a distance, and eventually I gave my position away too much and had to bail. Got another guy with a shotty who was camping a tower, and eventually died trying to snipe someone running right at me.

I think also once I get used to the building interface that's going to open up a whole new world. It takes me too long to figure things out for just a rap to get to a chest.

It's the same map but it doesn't approach the island from the same direction each time. I dropped into this one town with a lot of good stuff once so the next round I wanted to hit it again and realized it wasn't in the same spot.

im hanging out in the bus til most everyone else drops out and trying to get to the other side for loot to myself.

decent time passer while i wait for AU game. only found 1 scoped rifle and got killed right after i grabbed it. wish the items were easier to sift through when you kill someone, like they should have a pack. trying to get the heavy rounds in a cluster of 10 things is a bitch.

Got 2nd in my first game ever played. Didn't even build anything.

Playing on PC if anyone wants to give it a go sometime.

Its a good game. Came in I think 25th game one then like 11th game 2. Learning curve is surprisingly small compared to what PUBG seems to have.

I think what's tricky, at least in my experience, is knowing if you're going up against a common shotty or a rare shotty. I think it's cool that there are different tiers of weapons but it's frustrating when I think I have the drop on someone and I get killed in a heartbeat because they found that higher tier weapon and I had no shot.

my worst experience with weapon tiers is when I was playing with a random 4 man squad. We kill someone and he drops a purple AR and I pick it up then bam teammate kills me. Messages me and says I shouldn't have picked it up

It's "easy" to hang around till the last 20 or so players. At least in my experience, I normally jump out of the bus towards in the last 20 seconds. I'll usually encounter 2-3 people usually doing the same thing I'm doing: running to the next zone.

I've only had a couple of finishes outside the top 40. One I landed on the I think lonely lodge roof, axed thru to get to the bedroom with ammo but no weapon. I go downstairs where somebody else landed and get shot gunned. The very next game I land at the door and somebody lands on the roof, I pick up the shotgun, run up stairs and kill them
