PUBG on Xbox [preview program]

Also, play the circle on the last few circles. Lots of YouTube vids on it. Very good tactic to use.

They email you a code instantly.

I've always used them for my Xbox live and never had a problem with them although I was reading somewhere a few people had issues with codes not working.

Yup. They send you an instant code. I've been using them for ages and never had a problem though you could get unlucky but their support will sort you out. If you get PUBG off them you also get a free code for Assassins Creed Unity at the moment.

That offer is finished now it seems. Also PUBG has gone up to 23 euro.

On the last few circles, stay in between the blue and the safe zone and move around the edge picking off players that are running for safety then run into safety yourself at the last possible moment. 30 seconds or so.

Couldn't help myself currently downloading pugb after getting after getting the link from Xbox live gold for €29'99including vat

Overpaid a wee bit Davy but it's well worth 30 imo.

Add me on Xbox Live for some games if yiz wish. Should be on at some stage during the week.

I decided to jump on in the early beta stages as I have been watching vids on YouTube for months of pubg team games from serious pc gamers they even have a new map with desert level with better gun and vehicles and your player can jump I'm not sure if you can jump in the original map probably not yet but it should be updated soon

Vaulting is in the Xbox version too.

I wonder when Xbox will get some new maps.

So lads, another question is where do you all aim to land if you have your choice of the map?

I've been going to the shooting range the last few drops and I've had great success. Always able to get good weapons at the range and a car in the houses just to the North West of it.

I'm IWTK123

When i first heard you could vault i pictured a pole like doing a high jump. Hard to imagine you couldnt even climb over something

So is the game really as bad as the reviews are saying? Tempted to pick it up as the hype from the PC version is insane, but most of the reviews are saying the game is a crap port for Xbox and the FPS really suffers.

Is that just PC diehards giving out about consoles or is it actually bad?

Nah it has plenty of issues, dashboarding, the lobby is brutal, the FPS can be as inconsistent as hell, matchmaking can sometimes show complete randomers in your team or the same player twice.

However it's also massive good craic if you're into this kind of game. My average game time on solo is about 25 minutes and that's when I generally start meeting other players so you have so much invested in the game at that point your heart is racing when you do get shooting.

For the price it's worth it. €25 is about half what a complete game would cost at launch so you take the bad with the good.

Woohoo, got a chicken dinner, but I don't know how to screen grab on xbox...:o

Killed 3 people, one gave his position away when he started shooting a runner.

Got to the final 2/3 circles and there were six of us, 3 were driving around.
Was in a bush but then the next circle forced me to move, killed a player in a dacia and the other lad must have taken out the other driver.

I was in the tiniest of circles when I spotted the last guy stand up to move in - picked him off...:D

I know how to screen grab now though.

"Controls on motorbike no longer inverted"

Yep, that's been the cause of many deaths lol. Skulling myself and my duo partner after going off a jump and then pulling back on the controls lol.

It's clunky, and the framerate is inconsistent, but it's terrific fun. If you go into it knowing that it's a very early preview, then you'll have a much better time with it.

For me, the main problems with it are the shonky framerate, texture pop-in, and a weird control scheme, but none of these have stopped me from really enjoying it.

I've since got a refunded so waiting to see if it improves.
The fps was dropping to as low as 15 during action and running around.
I'm really not sure how you are not experiencing these regular drops.

Aye, the frame rate is shocking. The anti aliasing improvements in this new patch are welcome too as viewing the horizon is horribly jaggy.
Also had to turn HDR off as the image was too dark. Hopefully they add an option menu as it needs it. Early versions of the test server on PC were too dark too but they have since fixed that.

have to say, I'm very impressed that they're patching already. I think the day before yesterday was my first time finding the framerate an issue, but that being said, there were 6 people in a house, shooting and a smoke grenade going off so to be expected.
