Bottom post of the previous page:
Team Culling would be the only thing that could motivate me to install that game again, so I'm not sure if that means I should get this one, but okay.

Played duo with a friend and I died immediately so he just messed around pretty much trying to get killed and ended up second place with no kills

I'm yet to get the dinner. I got to 2nd quite a few times, but then either get outskilled, or try to be smart, throw a grenade or something and get punished.

The more you hide the easier it is to win, sadly that's just the way it is.

Technically you don't even need to make kills to win
It sure helps though

Shadows on high, foilage on low
That way you can see people's shadows around a corner and you don't see the plants they use to hide

Yet if you don't, you're at a disadvantage because this game is played by the kind of people who do that
Some very competitive people play this and they will use every trick they can get

I play on a laptop and I had to edit a few .ini files plus steam launch options to get it to run, and it still lags pretty bad but it's also fun. I've gotten up to 30th by camping in the middle of the map and getting lucky with one kill for a dude who walked in on me with my double barrel

The VSS is garbage but it's also completely and utterly silent at 200m
The scope you can't change also can't be zeroed for anything but 100m which on a rifle is hot trash
And they added wooden bars to all the apartment building windows so you can't Batman out of them anymore when you hear doors open
And cars aren't guaranteed in garages anymore
And the network lag got far worse
shit patch 0/10

Yeah. It's subsonic so the muzzle velocity is slow, but its shouldn't be slower than a crossbow bolt. I had a hard time hitting anything. That said ammo for it is plentiful, and it has full auto you can use in a pinch, unlike other sniper rifles.
Lag is overwhelming.
But I like the dotted line that shows you shortest route to border.
Cars were never guaranteed in garages.

Map basically narrowed down to these 3 containers, 2 of them were open facing different ways, and one fucker sat in each one of them. I should have just waited outside.

I play it, it's a lot of fun honestly. There's a good mix of hilarity and tension. Still buggy though, which can infuriate you after the initial charm wears off.

Does this game suffer the plague of persistent stats, like every other modern game?
Or is their ingame bux just for cosmetic items?
Re: Player Unknowns Battleground

You mean persistent stats on items? Items for bux are cosmetics.

I mean stuff like like planetside or battlefield that takes the purity of shooters, where its all about the player's own skills, and sullies it with shitty RPG mechanics that unbalance things by having persistent stat boosts like extra armor/hp and weapons that are a lot better than the starting shit (although I will say planetside generally did well at making weapons only sidegrades, for the most part).

Guns have different stats, and there's different types of armor, but that's all. There's no starting gun. Everyone starts empty and has to find something. The persistent metagame is purely cosmetic.

BP is purely for the limited amount of cosmetics currently ingame.

There's more cosmetics inbound soonTM
Plans for a box of cosmetic stuff themed from the Battle Royale movie is one of them

Only cosmetics worth taking is stuff that looks like camo because half the game is not being seen by the other guy until you're already shooting them
Anything else and you're just making yourself a bigger target

Bought it today and put about 4-5 hours in with 2 friends, managed to win once among dozens of fuck-ups, including ramping a buggy into an infinite spin that barreled towards a red-zone.
Wouldn't mind playing with others, I can actually hit a moving target to an extent if that helps.

We will do our first leaderboard and stats wipe tomorrow (Wednesday May 31st) at 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC. This will reset all player ranking and stats data. Your previous stats are saved and will be viewable in-game.
