PUBG on Xbox [preview program]

FAILSAFE 00

I thought it would be a good idea to have an Xbox specific Player Unknown's Battlegrounds thread.

Since PUBG on both Xbox and PC are in beta having one thread with multiple issues/feedback on 2 platforms could get messy. I hope the mods agree.

I have played the game for a few hours now. Mostly duo mode. The first thing I noticed was in my first game the graphics didn't look great. However from the 2nd game onwards it looked good. I am assuming there is probably some map content being cached so when you play it again it looks better.

The frame rate has been solid. I am playing on the OG Xbox One until I get back to my One X tomorrow.

It took a while to get my head around it after playing it on PC. There are a few short cuts on the D-pad that you should get used to.

I recommend upping the sensitivity to all the way to 10. It can feel sluggish until you do this.

*Be careful creating your character. If you back out of the character screen it saves the default as your character. You can then only change your character by using 3,000 BP to change it again. BP is the in-game currency. You can buy crates with it that award you with cosmetic items.

I landed on a rooftop last night in the little flooded town (don't know what it's called) and a dude landed right beside me.

Started punching him in the face and he just melted through the floor like the wicked witch. Hilarious!

Heard him running around in the gaf below so I got kitted up a left him at it.

Also, got my first frying pan kill last night

After the drop, was in a house with chick and all I had was the pan. Chasing her around trying to wack her was so hard. Just got one hit in.

Then, she stopped to pick up a gun and *clunk* dead. Such a satisfying whack off it!

Many of you play on PC? Come across cheating much? Seems to be a major issue. Some of the stuff that is going on in the below 3 minute video is crazy. Especially he last guy who kills about 8 people in 15 seconds from hundreds of metres away...

Yes, the cheating seems to be rampant on PC, but they do seem to be trying to get a handle on it. I think that the lack of cheaters on console is the one thing that the PC lads are jealous of.

A huge difference when it was first looked at, I'm not sure if there's been improvements since.

Basically, the X is totally done, or near enough, by the time you jump out of the plane. The One/S, meanwhile, are still loading buildings after you land, so in some cases, people are getting stuck inside buildings that "appear" on top of them.

That's me - at times I can *push* into buildings that are just ill defined blobs but if I do that there's a chance when the full building pops in I'll be instantly killed or end up stuck in a wall/furniture.

Only realised just how different the experience was after watching a twitch stream of a guy playing on the X - he could see buildings as he was dropping! I know the locations of stuff from the terrain and the bends of roads and water. Ain't no buildings until my chute opens generally and at times buildings haven't loaded 30 seconds after I hit the ground.

Is there a difference in speed between the s and x in terms of populating? Were both of you on the same internet connection?

First time I felt actively irritated by the game last night. My textures on a standard Xbox always popped in late but last night was the worst.

Merry and I landed in Polyana. He landed on the roof of a high rise and I parachuted, landed and ran around for a good 30/40 seconds with no buildings having popped in - they were just patches on the ground. I could see gear floating in the air, being held up by invisible buildings. So merry went from the roof and cleared three floors by the time I could see buildings and enter.

Next time at a high rise near the school - at least the basic shape popped in. I landed near another guy but I had to stand there wobbling up and down on an unresolved building while he had time to go in the door I couldn’t see, down a floor, loot, arm himself, come back upstairs and emerge on the roof around 3 seconds after the building finally loaded for me with a shotgun and armour ready to blast me in the back.

I can take it being in early access where everyone is hit the same way. But this is just a killer (I understand technically why it’s happening but MS are gonna have some issues with fragmentation in games that depend on rapidly populating games).

Took a break from this over the weekend to play some rainbow 6, amazingly enough, dealing with the framey, jerky aiming in pubg actually seemed to help my gameplay in siege. I'm loving pubg, but theres something inconsistent about it that still feels a little off to me.

Got to last 2 for the second time last night.

I was behind a tree on the side of a hill and he was a few metres away, prone at the top of the hill.

I have never, ever heard and felt my heart beating so hard. It was so distracting.
So distracting in fact, that I didn't notice the little red circle on the tree when I leaned out to shoot (his head was in plain sight). Started shooting up the tree and got wasted.

It's amazing the effect this game can have on you.

Jump into the School or somewhere like that. You'll get to grips with the combat quicker and won't panic as much if you get attacked late in the game.

Best advice is play like Liverpool (go on the attack) and not like United (sitting back) you'll get used to it quicker that way

Playing squads with the missus and one of the randoms downed her and tried to kill me. So i downed him, revived her then we both watch the guy crawl around. Once he was nearly dead we revived him and did it again although it was much shorter this time and then we just let him die.

Ended up on my own as my squad died at the start during a game. Heard two cars heading to a small stable west of Pochinki. They were close together which allowed me to lob two frag nades at them. Eliminated a whole squad by myself. No damage taken nor was I seen, and i feel pretty chuffed about that accomplishment.

FINALLY got my first chicken dinner on solo. Was almost an anti-climax, because I circled around behind the final guy and shot him from behind - he had no idea where I was.

Edit: Must be like buses.....just got my second.

Anyone ever have an enemy jump into your vehicle. Its hilarious. We have played squads a few times where an enemy has jumped into a friendly vehicle and we drive them to another team member with a gun

Yeah they are. Checked one of the lads recent clips and they have videos of them driving around in a car together in solo.

Filled out a ticket anyway on the Battlegrounds website last night reporting them linking my video and his recent clips. Woke up this morning and they got back to me straight away saying they will be taking "necessary" action against them. Hopefully I'll get a few salty messages in the next couple of days.

I've noticed similar a few times in the last week. Guys running around in groups, or sharing vehicles. I thought I'd accidentally selected squads.

Just as well you killed them, or it might have been impossible for Bluehole to identify them in order to ban the pŕicks?

Nice job! Think I would have bottled it!

Fair play! I would have probably hit the doorframe with the grenade and killed myself.
