Looks beautiful... Is it up on test server? Might have some time to play tonight/tomorrow.
Yes it's up. Watched a couple streams this morning. Early reviews - lots of cover inside towns but in the desert you need a long range gun. I won't be around until Sunday to try it. Winchester looks fun but iron sight only. Double barrel sawed off is a pistol....
I think I got three rounds in, only saw a little bit of the map. Certainly less cover moving between structures, but also a little easier to pick out people from the background which I like. I didn't get to try any of the new guns.
I have played about the same amount. I like the desert areas but you are now required to get a sniper rifle or get picked off. The cities are pretty busy with random debris everywhere making it harder to spot people. I see last night they patched to include the old map in the rotation on the test server. Now it's random which map you get.
Watch the first minute of this..... I am going to go out on a limb and say the Xbox version may not be ready for prime time.
Yeah I read it was pretty glitchy... Sure hope the game makers dont implode from trying to grow to fast and stretch themselves to thin...
Played a few more rounds. It could be completely random, but one thing that the lessening of trees and long distance cover seems to to encourage, is more combat early on?? Maybe just my experience so far. But on this map so far, as soon as my team has started moving to the first smaller circle, even when we were off from the planes flight path, we've gotten into firefights trying to move to the next town... Easier to see people so easier to set up an ambush earlier... Have been some good firefights, I almost got behind someone using my vault into a window but his buddy got me from behind going in the window.
I think it's true there are more encounters early on in the game. I think it's because people stick to the roads because going offroad is much slower on the new map. I also think you can't just loot through the first circle and expect to make it before the blue comes like on the first map. We have been dropping into the Casino most rounds and that town is a real war zone. If you do make it out you will be well set up to win the game.
I would never make this shot again.
Wow, killer shot
I'm finally consistently getting kills.. although a good bob-n-weave and I fall apart.. lol
I'm getting lots of tearing recently on the new map in particular, I really need to upgrade my vid card I think, it sucks cause it will start out fine so I get half way thru a round and my squad is doing good and then it starts and I cant see anything farther out than a few feet..
Heat related?
Get a 1070. I am looking to upgrade my monitor to a 144Hz now that I can get that FPS in most games with my 1080. Problem is bitcoin miners have driven up the prices on all Nvidia cards.
Could be heat, I do probably need to do a case cleaning..
Picked up a Acer Predator 27" 144hz with my Xmas cash and I gotta say 144hz gaming is pretty nice. I don't get over 110 in Pubg but the G Sync monitors adjust the frame rate to match so it's smooth. In Overwatch I can get 200 fps on Ultra so 144 on the monitor and it looks really nice.
I do have some heat issues with my set up. My 1080 runs really hot I might need more case fans. I haven't had any lockups but Pubg crashes once a play session and that might be heat related.
Man when I look at 1070's on Amazon everything is still over $600... WOW...
I don't think I've ever paid over $400 for a vid card..
Yeah damn bitcoin miners love the 1060 and 1070. I paid a bit over $400 for my 1080 but it was before the bitcoin craze. I would watch Craigslist for people selling off 1070/1080 to upgrade to the TI. Or I have see bitcoin miners that sell the 10 cards they have for reasonable amounts. Also prebuilt systems that include one. I think Brad got a 1070/i5 system for $600.
Found a way to turn down the loud noises and bump up the foot steps in game. I always wondered how players are able to hear foot steps two buildings away. This is it.
A couple weeks ago a thread was posted on reddit about how to improve the desert map by Bluehole. Kinda cool to see they actually are making some of the changes suggested. The biggest one: more flat routes for vehicles. The 2nd biggest - more cover out in the desert. Can't wait to see how they changed the map.
Patch notes from tonight.
World
- Miramar improvements
- Added more buildings and cover across the map to improve the engagement experience
- Added more off-road routes for easier vehicle navigation
- Upgraded the item spawn level of certain areas for loot balancing (some areas will spawn better loot)
Replay
- The replay system has now been updated to a newer version and past replay files cannot be played anymore
Bug fixes
- Fixed the issue where heal and boost items could be used underwater
- Fixed the issue where characters would get stuck in certain areas on Miramar
- Fixed the issue where wall textures on some Miramar buildings were not displaying correctly
- Fixed the issue where certain buildings near by Hacienda del Patron were not displaying correctly
Thank you.

Thats cool, some more cover would be nice. I do find myself seeking out the few offroad paths that do exist on miramar when driving cross country.
I'm playing better lately, actually getting some multi kills in and having some cool intense gun fights.. Got another chicken dinner on Sat, my team was kicking ass but I actually won it by throwing a moltov cocktain at some dude hiding behind a tree.. lol oh that was so fullfilling lmao..
Yeah I have had a couple 5+ kill games in the last couple weeks. Solos I get kills. Squads the guys I play with usually get all the kills. Here is a good multi kill I got the other day...
lol lead that sucker!!
Tried the test server last night with the new stuff on it. Pretty cool. I am glad they are making DMR rifles good again. Using the M4 100% of the time because it was the best at everything was getting boring. Didn't get a chance to find the SLR (SKS like rifle) maybe this weekend.
Yeah I have no prob when they add more nuance to guns and stuff.. The new attachments mix it up a little too.. Interesting optics they added.. I need to map a button to the "Hold Breath" key which I haven't used much since the DC days but it will probably be more important for long range shots now more than ever. Get a few rounds in per week but still like it... The events the last few weekends have been a really nice change of pace. Got in some great firefights with the 8 man teams. Cant wait for the new map.
I would say learning to effectively use the hold breath key is a boost of 20% in skill. It also zooms to 2x magnification on the red dot and halo scopes. I still forget a lot but try to use it every time I take medium and long range shots.
Really good edit.
I tried the new map last night on the "experimental server" (separate install). It's small! You definitely get in more gun fights and the SMG is the new best weapon. It's a different feel compared to the other maps - it's harder to land away from other players and loot up.

New map is on the live server.
Favorite thing from the patch notes... lol
Gameplay
- Weather in Sanhok changes dynamically.
- Players can throw apples while waiting to board the plane in the in-game lobby.
Yeah I saw that. Hope to try it this weekend in between getting ready for some camping...
I'm glad they tweaked the spawn rate because I've always panicked when I land with a bunch of other people and have to get equipped fast lol..
There is no issue with spawns on the new map.... It's like 1.5x the normal rate. Stuff everywhere. I like the new gun too. Not sure if I will have enough time to play to make purchasing the event pass worth it but I might.
Yeah its not the finding a gun part that makes me panic, its just the pressure of having to find one, get it equipped and loaded while I know there is a guy in the next room, etc...
I haven't been keeping up. Event Pass?
I haven't been playing much but it appears that the Event Pass is a $9 purchase you need before you can start unlocking the missions (like kill 3 players in one round or use a grenade etc) on the new map. The missions are completed to get clothes and weapon skins.
Pretty big patch today.

I'm still up for playing this, so anytime you see me around on steam drop me a message.
Yeah for sure. I try to play at least a couple games a week.
