Official PUBG Mobile Released on iOS & Android in the US
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
The first few matches are filled with bots instead of real players so that might be why :P
You are mostly playing against bots contrary to the PC version.
I got two chicken dinners in the chinese version. Shit was so easy.
time to be king for a minute
What's funny is Tencent publishes the PUBG mobile ver and has a 48% share in Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite.
LOL reminds me of playing Titanfall at PAX; I did soooo well.. and then my friends told me I spent my entire game spawn-camping the terrible grunt bots.
Hey this actually starts on the iPhone 6+ unlike Fortnite
I wish I could play Fortnite instead tho

Just realised PUBG runs from Unreal Engine.
Good god, what a year EPIC must be having right now!
Yeah I think it must be bots
First game I got 6 kills, looted an AWM with no contest, and died at #2 against the one of the only players who seemed like an actual human
Second game I looted two crates easy for an AUG and Mk14 at which point I coasted to victory with 11 kills. I ran over a guy too.

"Here's $12,000,000 worth of content we created....for FREE"
Yeah, they're making bank!

Fortnite is already the #2 top grossing app on the App Store because people want dances. Yes, they are making bank.
If you want a more intense game you should drop into the hot zones. School, military base, etc. they have the best loot and the most players jumping out at that spot.
and like others in this thread said, the first few games your playing mostly bots with some other humans.
Ok wow. Fortnite fan, but this version of PUBG run pretty great, like waaay better than Fortnite on Ipad Air 2. Plus there is ton of option to customize control. Fortnite better fix their game on IOS, cause i will be giving time to PUBG. It seriously play great!
H mean, yes, they are undoubtedly making bank, but giving away that content has nothing to do with whatsoever lol. It's content from a dead game they stopped supporting, and they are using that content that would otherwise not be used to make their engine that they license even more attractive to developers. It has nothing to do with "making bank" because they aren't losing those 12$ million by giving the assets away lol
Like 100% surprised it starts at all on my iPhone 6, and it even runs pretty decent at lowest settings! WHY CAN'T I PLAY FORTNITE ON HERE?
Maybe because its cross play?
Epic Games can only lower the visual settings so far before it becomes an advantage.
But the mobile port of fortnite doesn't support controllers (from what I heard, played it but haven't tried connecting any controllers to my iPad), so don't PC players and console players already have an advantage?
And wouldn't players running high end for PUBG on mobile have an advantage over those running the low end settings for PUBG?
Took me a while to find it in the App Store. Searching for "PUBG" or "Playerunknown Battlegrounds" gives you knockoffs (e.g. PUBG Pocket).
I wish the xbox version ran as good as this...
I can't handle mobile controls for this or fortnite on my phone but maybe I'll try on the wifes new iPad

Still waiting for Tera M. Perhaps I should Lineage II, or check out a Tera apk.
I sure wish I understood the appeal of this very popular game. I'm just not a person with violent instincts or something I guess.

Possibly. In all likelihood, it's because PUBG is redeveloped for mobile as a separate game and probably has tons less going on under the hood, whereas Fortnite is a straight port (which is because they wanted to have cross-play, so you're still right)
Bots, really? Damn I feel lame as hell now, just got a 2nd win in a row lmao
The final guy in my second match was bush camping so I'm confident that wasn't a bot hahaha
Lmao, no worries. I didn't know either until I read this forum :(, I felt pretty good about myself too. But yea apparently the first few matches are bots to help you get use to the game.
I've only played the Xbox version, but the best mode imo is with squads. If you have friends try it out. I noticed it had mic support so I guess it has voice chat?
Different developers from what I understand. Xbox has its own team supporting it and pumping out patches weekly/biweekly and they post on Reddit.
The mobile version is made by Tencent Games I believe.
This game feels really weird in that it's not exactly the same game. Most of the building interiors are drastically different on the inside despite looking the same outside, there's weird little options not present in the main game, you can only have two guns with no distinction between main and pistol slots, and the ballistics are reduced to simply having a travel time (at least for sniper rifles) as opposed to drop and drag and damaged falloff and all that, so it feels way simplified compared to the base game.
This is really fun. I'm too hooked on Fortnite to play PUBG on my PC anymore but I was missing it and this hits the same spot pretty well actually. I got #2 my first match with 9 kills, just a little mad that the last guy got me. I'e never really played any full 3D games on a phone. I imagine I will like this much more than Fortnite mobile with trying to build in that game.
It seriously play well for a monile game. Im using the second control settings, disable auto pickup, inventory managment is great on tablet. Im a controller fanatic and think it play wonderfuly on a tablet.
I'm really looking forward to see how this controls. Playing a precise shooter on a touch screen where your thumbs are always in the way sounds like the worst thing ever but I've heard it's still better than the Xbone version.
You can choose which mode you want at the main menu. Preset is squad I think.
Got a win on my second game. I kind of like it for a mobile game. A lot easier, but fun! I'm surprised it works as well as it does, honestly.
