It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Battlefield pulls off the battle royale shtick incredibly well. With its celebrated core multiplayer revolving around squad-based combat on huge, richly detailed maps, there really wasn’t much embellishment necessary to fit into the for
One of the key principles that can be forgotten is the crucial reality that a bad weapon loadout can spell death for a player. Having two sniper rifles or a pistol and a shotgun or any variety of un-optimized gear can cause unnecessary death and loss during a match of PUBG. The only exception to this rule is during early match scrambles for gear and weaponry. At this point during a match, survival is the main focus but keeping an eye out for ideal weapons, ammo types, scopes, or vehicles is essential for match succ
This is the part where many gamers rightfully bash PUBG into the the grave that it deserves to die in after introducing it’s shady business practices. First, charge for a game that’s an unfinished buggy mess that continued to be an unfinished buggy mess for years to come. Second, bring in a shady micro-transaction lottery system that rewards you with crappy cosmetic items for a bloated price. Third, copy the fair and successful battle pass formula that Fortnite has implemented since the start of the series. Boy are those PUBG devs shady, and while the Epic Game’s higher ups are no less shady, they at least implemented fair business practices in their most profitable g
PUBG’s Season 7 provides a dangerous new environment for players to traverse, but thankfully they won’t have to worry about things like falling through the ice or dying from hypothermia. Instead, players will have to keep an eye on moving trains, evidence of vehicle traffic, and the ever-present looming blue circle which, while it still does the same amount of damage as gamers are used to, provides a smaller initial safe area than people are used to. There are a number of new and revised areas in Season 7’s version of Vikendi, and some of the best ones to drop into are detailed be
This technique is a bit tricky and will require a slight dissection to understand. The vehicle dismount trick is one that allows players to escape a car or bike at max speed without taking any damage for leaving the car. This requires tight control over the given vehicle and any mistakes will spell death for that player. Essentially, this trick is just jumping out of a car while driving close to a stationary object. By dismounting right as you pass that object it will take the impact for you and not dish any fall damage. So by driving close to a tree, a player can dismount, while their vehicle continues moving at max speed and not die because of
GTA Online: Motor War s is a Grand Theft Auto Online Adversary Mode. It comprises 2-4 teams in a 28 player battle.

Within the game, you’ll notice what may be the worst texture pop-in you’ve seen on the PlayStation 4, severe frame rate drops and the clunkiest shooting and looting mechanics. To play as a shooter experience, PUBG is bad and so it shouldn’t be played for that.

Season 7 of **PlayerUnknown’s BATTLEGROUNDS ** has begun, and in addition to returning players to the snow covered landscape of Vikendi the game also introduces players to a (theoretically) new weapon in the form of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle . While some of the changes made to Vikendi’s map are drastic, such as the activation of the rail system which allows players a brand-new way to travel across the landscape and the removal of areas like Tovar and Movatra, others are smaller but just as important, such as the fact that there is much, much less snow for players to leave footprints
There’s fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but the resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG’s success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated.
