jfc, this is a totally different game to the pc version. The aiming seems to be so bad that it's even worth trying to shoot people in cars? On PC it would have been easy to melt the guy in the buggy many times.

Combine no aim assist, a slow look speed by default, a clunky control setup people are still getting accustomed to, and shooting a car can be a little tricky, especially up close. Maybe dropping overall vehicle health would help to combat the problem. In that clip I posted, three of the last four people in the game were in vehicles.

My vehicle took an absolute beating when I got my first chicken dinner which seemed unbalanced: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/all my circuits/video/40845710

A red shirt sounds impractical for stealth gameplay, but who am I to criticize fashion choices? Maybe it's practical to hide the stains of blood. In which case I should get some brown trousers for that final circle action tbh.

I got some white combat pants and a where's waldo shirt.... yeah I'm not wearing that lol

Oh man that lag sometimes, especially at the start of a match after landing. I keep getting put back a few distances because of the lag. What is causing it? At this point I hope this is priority number 1 and then framerate.

And yeah I'm disabling HDR (hdr game mode is what I use) for now because the hill that you see in the waiting area is incredibly dark, houses and trees are overly dark too.

Priority number one should be input lag honestly.

It's so deflating when you have the perfect setup and then totally botch a kill on somebody. I just know they're ecstatic when they start to loot my dead body.

I should also note that I haven't played in a couple days and it seems the FPS has improved a little bit. (Xbox One S) When I parachute there is noticeably less stutter for me.

The games seem to be getting harder. I'm seeing some dirty tactics today. Camping is rife, even in areas well out of the circle.

Camping IS a tactic in BR, its not dirty. The goal is to be the last person alive, just accomplish that goal. There are no style points determining who gets chicken.

I've noticed a little bit of this too. I kind of think people are starting to adopt a mindset that if they can't make it to the circle in time, they hold up somewhere and try to take some people with them

I actually don't have an issue with that. If you want to take someone with you or hold them up so they do too, seems like fair game to me

Fix input lag, fix framerate, fix lag and rubberbanding on the server.

had some good games last night. I'll definitely be on later tonight. Will check back in later if people want to do squads.

How is camping a dirty tactic in this game? It is completely valid.

The dirty part is where it's taking place.

Ive been taken out twice today by people camping when the circle is on my ass. They've risked their own ass just so they can camp.

Camping in the circle is completely valid and is a tactic I use myself.

Edit: god damn spell correction hates me.

If they are pumped full of energy drinks or pain killers they could have heard you coming and made the call. Doesn't matter what was on your butt, they got ya.

Eugh it's such a frustrating game. I can't fucking aim for shit. I also find it's just luck. I came 2nd once and didn't kill anyone. I just kept moving closer in a vehicle.

You do know that it's damn easy to get the drop on fools when they are blindly sprinting towards the circle, right?
The first circles are really not that dangerous if you got some medkits on hand. It's so funny to see people just assume that everyone is as scared of the circle as they are.

Would be great to get some sort of roadmap to know what's coming in the future. Right now I think these should be Bluehole's higher priorities:

1. Improve overall performance (all plats)/further optimization on Xbox.

2. Polish core gameplay systems (especially aiming and movement).

3. Add more content and customization options.

The game is pure fun, but man the performance is all over the place.

The last time I was killed the guy died right after he shot me. I understand the logic behind the medkits and painkillers though, totally valid, but I'm seeing it more today.

Yeah if you're stocked up on medkits and energy drinks and/or have a vehicle on standby the circle isn't that dangerous.

Exactly. Roaming the outskirts of the circle with a motorcycle picking off fools is legit fun. And best thing is, you can restock medkits with every kill.

Sure it doesn't turn out great all the time, but the outside of the circle isn't as much of a no-go zone as people usually think it is.

I really wish you could hold the trigger to ADS


I don't anymore, cause they thought something about it and it really works great after 30 hours. But if you really want this, here is a little tip, press it twice very fast and hold it with the second tab and then you have what you want, if you put your finger away now, you leave ADS.

Yep, camping is perfectly viable and with the moving play area it's not like you can even sit in a closet the entire game anyway. In fact it is pretty silly to run in populated area's thinking you can out gun everyone. Camp and move quietly until the play area is so small you have to use your gun. That has been the best strategy for me to finish top 10.

Agreed. Nothing like getting some good loot and finding a good camping spot in a house mid circle. I LOVE it when you hear footsteps outside and the door opens to your camping house. Always close your doors folks!

Just got my first ever chicken dinner! (Squad)
Congrats! I just got my second or third a few minutes ago. It ended with a three on one, me and two squad mates with one opponent. He was behind a ridge, and I pleaded over my mic for the randoms with me in my squad to not rush him. They rushed him. They both got downed.

I ducked behind cover and threw a frag grenade in his general direction, and killed him for the win.

And now I feel like I need a Xanax. Haha

If anything not wearing boots makes you stand out more because you're used to hearing boots and not feet.
