Over on the Steam community forum for the title, developer Brendan Greene (aka “PlayerUnknown”) outlined what players can expect from the next Monthly Update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which includes a hefty number of updates for the game. Specifically, these include a new car horn feature when driving vehicles, the addition of first-person only servers for the game in Solo and Duo game types for North America and Europe, support for the Xbox One controller, new weapons and character customization options, and much m
Specifically, the biggest of these hazards is a blue electrical field surrounding the map that, over the course of the match, gradually pushes players into a select region of the map over time. Those that are unlucky enough to be outside of the field (or the “blue circle”) will meet their demise, while the circle also acts as a way to corral players from across the vast map and force confrontation. Naturally, that means players not only have to be on the lookout for other players, but also requires a constant situational awareness of what is happening on the map, and how to avoid getting killed by the environment or using it to your advant
Originating from Greene’s work on developing mods such as DayZ: Battle Royale mode Royale (originating from ARMA 2 and its subsequent DayZ ), Battlegrounds ultimately became a sort of mix of the attributes that Greene wanted to take from survival games – the emphasis on player choice and preservation – while refining some of its weaker points. Specifically, Greene’s focus on making large maps that would be difficult to pin down exact strategies from game-to-game play a large part of what Battlegrounds has turned out to be, while item randomization ensures that no match plays out exactly the same as it did bef
Likewise, different variants of the maps, such as the “fog map” or rainy versions of Erangel, also give some unique angles to the experience that players of the standard versions can’t rely on the same strategies for. Specifically, in the case of the fog map version of Erangel, the limited field-of-view renders long-range weaponry far less useful, while the rainy variant makes depending on sound a more difficult task thanks to the loud thunder in the distance… or in the hands of the right player, makes masking gunshot sounds that can alert other players way eas
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8×8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4’s capabilit
Even with many players opting to run the game at lower resolution and specs to ensure the best possible performance (even going as far as to remove in-game foliage and other effects), PUBG ‘s bugs and glitches abound with issues like rubber-banding, weird collision detection, not being able to pick up or drop items properly, and the occasional crashes. Likewise, the game’s UI and menus leave room for improvement, with adding and removing players from your party sometimes being a challenge due to its finicky lobby m

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , for better and worse, is one of the most enjoyable multiplayer game experiences I’ve had in years. I’ve delved into plenty of multiplayer-focused games with friends over the past few years like Rocket League and Overwatch , but few have felt as tapped into the social aspects of gaming as PUBG has managed to provide. With well over 120 hours put into the game over the course of the year, it’s already taken the mantle of the game that I put the most time into in 2017, and that’s an especially impressive accomplishment given the astounding number of excellent games that this year provided us wi

These strategies will no doubt continue to develop as time goes on and new maps are introduced. Currently, PUBG has only two maps: the Eastern European-styled Erangel map (which is the game’s original map) and the newly-released Miramar map that pits players inside of a mountainous desert valley. While by comparison to most other shooters this might be paltry, the size and depth of what the maps offer provides thousands of different ways to obtain vict
Well, after the massive success of Redemption it is safe to say that Rockstar has the time and resources for a much smoother development of RDR2 , which should me it would be much easier to port the code to
