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.

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.

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.

Got my first solo win a few days ago. I got an AWM from a drop and got a few kills with it, which was pretty fun.

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.
