I really hope there is a change coming to ADS. I don't like the flick the LT to ADS. Maybe I'll be used to it though.

It takes some getting used to, but i like the one click ADS. It helps in situations when you have to quickly lean around corners.

I feel i'm getting worse at this by the day. Went through a phase of making top 10 in every game pre-update. Now, I'm lucky to break top 30.

Going to put it down for a few days and try again over the weekend.

A little tip for fellow PUBG'rs in the EU region. If your having trouble getting a 4th man for squads, join the NA servers and try again. We had 4 games last night this way and we couldn't get one on the EU servers. Last game we had a guy join us who didn't even drop out of the plane until he was forced to and he spent the game AFK, we would like to think that he was joining random squad games to help people out.

Am I going crazy, isn't this supposed to be free w xb1x? I can't figure out how to claim it. All I can find are pages online saying it's free for a limited time and no other info.

Got this for Christmas on Christmas Eve, got a chicken dinner on my second round, and now I am hooked. It was a total rush getting down to the end. I have only ever played after the second Xbox patch but it was pretty smooth on my X.

Glad to see Xbox peeps enjoying this. I would get it again to play with friends if I had the money to spend.

When did you buy your Xbox? The offer is between Dec 17-31. It's suppose to be part of a purchase at whatever store you got it from as far as I can tell.

If you didn't get one contact Microsoft using the live chat on the Xbox site or the place you got it from , I'm sure they can sort it out.

I purchased my XB1X from Best Buy last week on 12/20 and have yet to receive the code. I contacted BB and they said to be patient. It's only $30 so I just went ahead and purchased it on my own. Not a huge deal, just annoying that I'm still waiting. I'll post here if I get one for someone to snatch.

I want to try this on Xbox but fear I won't play it much. I've tried Fortnite BR and while it's fun, it didn't hook me.

Is there enough different, with more focus on realism and less building, to gain my attention at PUBG? Everyone who talks about it makes it sound so thrilling when you survive long periods

MH World will take all my multiplayer time in one month so I'm having a hard time justifying taking a risk on a digital game that I may not like a lot and can't return. Retail copies appear to just have a code too so it's not like I can rent it.

Hoping for a free weekend on Xbox soon.

Thanks, man. I'm downloading now and I'll play a bit after running some errands. I wouldn't mind adding some folks to play with as well.

My GT is Pennybaggs.

It's difficult getting your mind off the game when this is the elevator you ride to the office.

Just played my second round and got to number 30 somehow while playing with no sound and going super aggro! Shot at every single person I saw and got zero kills :D

My heart is going crazy still lol

I like your guide in the OP, Ferny. Is there something a little more comprehensive for beginners you can recommend? Xbox wise.

Ok, that makes sense. Unless I literally drive/run into a crate on my way, I typically avoid going after crates. Feels like death traps. At least the few times I bothered to go after them.

It's weird. Some games you get it where everyone is thinking the same as you.. And no one goes to the crate. Or drops at the school. Etc. It's funny how the dynamics of the game can be so different from match to match.

Me and my Brother won in Duos today.

I finally realise why people love this game....the frustration is huge but the high from winning or getrinf close is amazing.

The shooting in this game ia awful but the shrinking map is exhilerating. Cant believe I won. Pure luck lol

Very first game in 5 days today, because of Christmas. Was with new people via group search and it was directly a chicken dinner. Even did the last kill. This feels good man, it feels f'n good.

Was my 9th squad dinner and with my 1 single dinner it's my 10th now. :)

I've mostly been sticking to the PC version for a bit, has it gotten a patch since last week?

Got my first chicken dinner Monday night, then my second last night. Both times I got absurdly lucky with people getting the drop on me and then somehow missing all their shots.

Also getting more and more convinced that the M16 is just the best non-crate weapon in the game. It's just great at every range.

My favorite was randomly finding two in the ocean as we drove around. Need to be on the lookout for that more often!
If the first circle includes a bunch of water I jump in a boat and cruise around. You get more uncontested crates that way. Have a decent distance gun first, in case someone else comes up - just switch seats and blast them.
