Anybody else hate it when just as you start to get good loot your teammate decides to be a prick and kill you for it. It's called squad for a reason.

Should be a report button like the PC version. Absolute dicks of the highest order.

Perhaps they'll just use the Xbox built in report system?

Anyway, the report function on PC was a much higher priority due to the growing number of hackers with aim bots. Some of the videos that are coming out now from their replay system are comical in a bad way, like a headshot..... from 4 kilometers away...... with an entire building in the way..... must be so frustrating.

I think the lack of hackers is just about the only thing that PC players are jealous of.

Played 20-30 games and still havent found a vehicle, are they very rare or is it just me?

as you look at the map, there are two bridges going from military island to the mainland, theres a pretty much 100% chance that there will be vehicles at either end of the one on the right (based on my experience anyway).

I think its just you....:p

I wouldn't say they are every where but are normally parked along the roads and in some garages of houses. What happens is in the popular areas they are snapped up pretty quick especially if the circle is on the other side of the island there will mad rush to get one.

Players also shoot out the tyres of good vehicles to f up other players, its survival of the fittest as they say

20 to 30 games without seeing a vehicle spawn is nothing short of bizarre. You must not be looking in the right places, they only spawn in garages on a certain type of building or near roads/dirt tracks.

yeah, its only the odd occasion you'd actually end up badly stuck for one, they're easy enough to come by on any of the main roads.

Myself and a few of the lads got emails this morning regarding a survey from microsoft on PUBG, asking about controls etc.

my suggestions were:

option to have trigger pull to go to ADS, and Left bumper for focus aim when in third person,double tap Y for pistol,1 button for entering and exiting a vehicle.

for suggestions to make the game more user friendly - I suggested tips on loading screens for the various different type of health pickups, and also an explanation of the HUD layout.

I suggested a better reloading option as holding is a pain.

That doesn't bother me so much, but I have seen lads failing to get a revive going on a teammate as the natural instinct is to hold the button to heal.

finglashoop · 11-01-2018 01:06PM

On the heal thing ive noticed that sometimes it gets down to one second and stòppesd working made 3 attempts to pick up a team mate and none work.

Also shooting someone clearly in your scope through a window but bullets hitting window sill is really annoying. Caught out a few times where i feel im positioned ok but bullets catch window sill that is not in my sights

You have to take barrel position into account in this game, so even if your sights are clear the gun barrel might still be obstructed. It's a pain but once you are aware of it its easy enough to compensate.

The compass on the top of the screen should contrast with the background so ye can see it when it's against the sky!

Ah yes, a couple of times I killed the hell out of a windowsill. Believe me, those window frames rue the day they decided to get between me and another player.

I did have a good laugh at it actually, because the guy I was shooting at had no idea he was a target, and couldn't see me. Just stood there like a lemming, and me there cackling away to myself while glowering at the window frame.

This is a major pain... So often a teammate will call out an enemy position by shouting 'west' or '300'. I often have to look to the ground to be able to see the numbers

CatInABox · 11-01-2018 10:50PM

3 million players so far, seems the PC success has been repeated on console.

Unreal really, those guys must have felt like they'd won the lottery when it took off.

quad_red · 12-01-2018 12:42AM

Was cms away from our first chicken dinner tonight. Down to 4 and got the drop on the two remaining opposition players - literally facing swat with them down my sights and died feet inside the blue.

Noooooooooooooo

And even then the game doesn’t frustrate me

I ended up dropping pistols altogether just to avoid selecting it.

Thats great. I had to scrap carrying a pistol due to being in a shootout and hitting Y only to switch to my pistol against their assault rifles. I was equipping only a primary and secondary so I would only switch between the two and not get caught out.

Holding LT to aim down sight.
Holding LB to use 3rd person perspective aim sight.

Hmmm, Thats the tough trade. I'll have to give that some thought. Its nice when someone gets close to pull the left trigger down to use 3rd PP aim.

CatInABox · 13-01-2018 09:55AM

Have to admit, I was wary of how the preview program would work out, but they're really blowing my expectations out of the water with the number of patches they're pushing out.

It's also clear that they're listening to the community as well, which is pretty refreshing.

WarpAsylum · 13-01-2018 12:07PM

I stuck it on last night about 10pm for the first time and played straight through to 4 in the morning.
Hooked!
Just waiting on this patch to download now...

Considering jumping on this bandwagon, is it generally like COD where better players are constantly going to just destroy you haha

Well people will have a months advantage of playing the game over you so yeah expect to lose a lots of gunfights.

Best thing is just to play a few solos and jump straight to the high player population areas like the school and Pochinki and just get straight into the action. Learn the looting and gun mechanics and the rest will follow.

There's a far greater element of luck in this game, I think, and kills don't matter as much (You could get fifty kills, but not win), so no, it's not really like COD.

Joined a random sqaud the other day. I got crap loot and managed to be last man standing in my team and finished third. Without getting any kills. Not like cod at all imo. More looting and luck than running and gunning

WarpAsylum · 13-01-2018 05:16PM

Looting, lurking, and luck

It's still 19.99 on cdkeys with a free code for AC Unity

ECO_Mental · 13-01-2018 06:12PM

Goddam it.....placed 3 and 5 in the last two games and shout have won both arhhhh. Particularly the last one where I was 5.

Perfect positioning behind a rock, sea at my back the circle was in the open so I was the only person with cover. So the last 5 had to come into the open and I could pick them off. Then one of these a-holes who drives around in circles came up from the other side of the rock as I was firing so couldn't hear him and I lost the one on one. So pissed off with my self:mad:
