Played a couple of games this morning...I still have the innate ability to shoot cartoon-esque outlines of the bad guys every time.

Which is amazing considering I was using a shotgun.

With a game like this, sometimes it is best to just step away for a little bit.

I'm in the other boat myself. Before the patch, I wasn't getting many kills, but now I'm getting 5-6 a game almost. In solos as well. The aiming seems pretty great to me now whereas before I had to compensate a bit more than now.
I agree with stepping away. I got destroyed all day yesterday. Took a break and then hopped into duos with my brother. I prefer practicing in duos and was able to get my aim back after struggling with the new patch.

I think I solved my post patch issues. I had to shift my aimpoint. Due to the recoil, I was aiming low at the chest and letting the recoil work me up the body. This strategy got me a lot of headshots and I won most of these because no one else could shoot. Since the update, I've gotten hits, but the recoil stays so low it was giving them a chance to turn and headshot me as I accumulated the 5-6 body shots you need against level 2+ armor. Now I'm aiming at the neck and I'm ripping fools down again. Yay

I love when people post stuff like this. Thanks for sharing that with us!

Thank you for your kind words :D I also love to do it, since the last forum I always post this type of content :D

That is class Jorge, Microsoft are really getting behind this game!

Yeah it was awesome and I agree they are pushing it really hard I wonder if they will try to make it exclusive

That's a nice package right there. I like the controller

Yeah, don't worry about the first one if you're far from the play zone. Worry when the circle gets smaller

Thanks indeed that controller is so sexy

Finished 2nd place last night. What a great feeling. In the 2nd to last circle I saw someone on a rooftop firing. Like I was on a swat team I sneaked up to the door to the roof. Once I heard him start shooting again I opened the door and killed him. Loved that moment.

In other news.. I thought I was #teamAldi as that is where I do most of my shopping.. but they just opened a Lidl here in Raleigh and my allegiance has changed. The store is brighter, chocolate is better, and they have a bakery with a very acceptable croissant. Go #teamLidl


Also don't forget to join the resetera pubg club. When you request and invite please pm me your xbl name so I know who I'm accepting.

The chicken dinners from Aldi are sensational.

I will look at joining the club later.

Edit:My addiction sucked me back in. Just got 3 kills and 7th.

The Rng gods hate me today. I've found 1 AR in the last 5 games. And it's not like I haven't been looking. I found 4 8x scopes in one building....lol.

Edit: and I find an AR and 2 people team on me in solo. F U.

Man, sometimes I'll survive/win an encounter where I'm outmatched/outflanked, but because of that adrenaline rush I'll do something totally unnecessary/unneeded/idiotic in my next encounter lol. Its happened in both my last two games lol. Why :(

I so wish this game came out 15 years ago when I had way more time to dedicate.
I just know my 43 year old ass who barely has time to play these days will be useless in this game, but I truly love the whole premise of last man standing out of 100 players.
Was really hoping MS was going to retroactively give it to Day 1 owners of the X. Alas that never happened.
Oh well. Enjoy to those who do have the time to dedicate.

Man.. Do not play this game without headphones or at least the sound up high.. Was casually playing a couple rounds with the wife's Christmas music on.. Never even saw (or heard) death coming. Didn't realize how important footsteps sounds etc are in this game!

Tried this again earlier (first time since the second update) and it felt unplayable.

Rubber banding all over the place, controls felt unresponsive and it was really hard to aim....wtf has happened?

There are times during a tense battle where my AC kicks in and I get in panic mode because I can't always hear the small sounds in game.

My best game today was when I was listening to music. I think the sounds of the game makes me nervous. As soon as hear an explosion or gun shots I shit my pants.

Edit: just tried the apparments for the first time.... Found nothing in a a whole building. Not even a pistol. Got chased for 5 minutes by a guy with a shotty.

Having a headset is a pretty considerable advantage for sure. I'm actually thinking about investing in a high quality headset, mostly for PUBG.

I need to start recording stuff.

I was outside the play zone, was about to die from the damage but found a motorcycle out of nowhere and made it in. But on my way, I managed to run over a dude who was prone and killed him haha.

That's actually the one I'm considering. How is it working out for you?

Also if you don't mind me asking, how are the voice quality and noise cancellation on the mic?

It's been working out really well. I'm a big fan of the dial that lets you mix voice/game chat--it works wonderfully well to let me roll back game volume in the lobby and then kick it up in more sensitive areas. The drivers seem decent as well, and a bit better than the Stealth 600's I returned and exchanged (left ear can ringing aside).

As far as voice, it seems to work well. I don't think it has any sort of active noise cancellation (or even mic monitoring), but everyone hears me clearly and without a lot of modulation.

Okay. I posted earlier in the thread I was passing on this game as I do not have time to dedicate to getting good at it. I also had not received the Xbox Gift Card yet that I received from my father in law earlier tonight for X-Mas. Checking things out there is not much it looks like I will be spending this money on until March or so. And I really am very intrigued by this game itself.

So 1 question and a confirmation.
  • I Googled it and I see matches on average are about 30 or so minutes each? This about right?
  • Does one have to sit around after they die? Meaning if a match is 30 minutes long and I die 5 minutes into said match, is the next 25 minutes me just sitting around for the next game? Or can I leave the server and find a new match to join? And will I indeed join that new match in a relatively timely manner? Or is the etiquette once you find a server you stay on said server?
I really do not have a lot of time to play games these days so the above questions really do determine if I will take the plunge or not. The last thing I want to do is sit around watching others play while I am dead. I know I am going to die a lot if I do check it out but I would like to be able to keep the action going at a decent pace. So I just need to know how the general flow of matches goes. This may just not be a game for me and I am 110% okay with that, but as I said I am intrigued as all hell.

TIA for anyone that can provide some intel.

Leave them match when you die, no need to stick around.

Cool, thanks for sharing your impressions. I'm probably going to go ahead and pull the trigger on it. Seems like the best value for the money, especially considering the Dolby Atmos support.
