I wonder if pubg devs regret that exclusive deal with Microsoft.

It’s just Microsoft’s luck they think they got a huge catch in the bag, a coup, getting an exclusive look at the hottest new game only to see a free to play game take over that lane lead by its performance on ps4
Why?

The game runs like ass unless you have a One X.

It would have the same issues if not more if it were on PS4.

You don't need to have a lot of kills to win in this game.

Thier loot helps but you can win by playing like Rambo(rushing everybody with two pumps) or like Solid Snake(surveying the battle field and striking when nessacary).

I hope the Famas is a good gun. That's been one of my favorite guns in every game its in.

I'm so damn happy they nerfed traps. Buffing the Suppressed SMG is a good step but I still think it's ass compared to the Tac SMG. I can't wait to play with the FAMAS like it's rainbow six vegas again :wow:.

What''s really wild is the tickrate increase since PUBG's is still pretty low. Epic once again proving why Fortnite is the dominant game.

two pumps take up too much room. plus knowing you have a back up subconsciously makes it so you’re not spending that split second to really get a good shot cause you know you can just switch. plus shot guns are just so inconsistent.. the amount of times i’ve died because a blue pump to the dome doesn’t even do 30 damage just makes me mad thinking about it. a pump and heavy is great, though.

my set up is usually

an AR, either a pump + heavy, pump + tac smg or heavy + smg

or sometimes just running either a pump, heavy or a blue or purple sub tac

2 heals always. storm damage + no/low shield cause some fakkit doesn’t think objectively and rather fight in the storm when y’all both got to make a hike is infuriating and really fukks you once you make it out.

i like keeping slot towards end game for a bolt, so usually i’ll end up sacrificing bandages or med kits and anticipate or hope i can pick them up off someone if my health is in the gutter

I normally use the same setup give or take. I use 2 shotties(really any combo except double tac) AR or Burst, a specialty weapon(sniper, grenade launcher, or rockets), and shields.

Here are the new emotes and skins

I'll probably get the shirtless brother since he looks like he was in the jungle hunting the Predator. I might get the Yeet emote if the song doesn't suck.

If I could place top 20 each game against these tryhards they would be ideal since I haven’t been playing the game that long and my building still ain’t up there yet.

Kinda wild they’re adding competitive. I do hope they use H1Z1 scoring but I doubt it.
