Brilliant fun, though it really needs some updating. Nice touch is that if you crash, it doesn't chuck you out the game so you have a chance to respawn.
The looting system is going to take a while to get used to, along with some of the controls (the aiming going from 3rd to 1st person) aren't quite second nature.
Was playing in a squad with 2 friends & 1 random last night and had 1 random that wasn't hellbent on getting run over/teamkilling.
The framerate issue really needs something to sort it though. I'm not a PC gamer so not used to 100+FPS but I'm sure for the majority of the games it was sitting at around 20FPS, it really was purgatory.
All that said, it was brilliant, got about 4 matches done and I managed to get down to the last 10 and got shot in the back as I was figuring out how to throw a grenade

It really does need a practice mode/lobby/something. My best so far is 2nd place in solo after 3hrs of gameplay and it's the lack of aiming practice that gets me killed every time. It's like world of tanks (which I love playing) but on your feet with 5 mins of gameplay wasted at the start when you're murdered by the first group of people that you stumble into, which is annoying because it's going to take hours of gameplay to get half decent with any weapons.
Just got my first chicken dinner. Solo match, spent most of it finding st loot but eventually scouted out a guy in a cabin and waited for him to come out, 100+ rounds of ammo and a 4x, then just worked my way around til the circle was tiny & pipped out the last two folk. 3 kill total
Good god I was ecstatic, though.

I've played a few rounds and I must say, it is utter dogst. It's fun, but what a fking mess it is. It feels absolutely wretched to play.
There is some fun to be had getting the drop on other players and wiping them out but the actual face-to-face gun battles are as janky as fk. It's fking embarrassing seeing people hopping about trying to kill each other.
It could be immense when it's fine tuned into a finished release but I expect that PUBG will never be released in a finished format. I suspect it's riding high at the moment whilst it's in fashion, the developers will cash out and fk off once that dips, Day Z style.

Had one of those moments, both firing at each other, almost point blank, both on auto and I only won, as he ran out of ammo first!There is some fun to be had getting the drop on other players and wiping them out but the actual face-to-face gun battles are as janky as fk.

Played against an obvious beginner too, as we both entered the same house, he had a shotgun, but hadn't figured out how to load it, so I got lucky with that, as only had a pistol.
First solo chicken dinner!excuse the sideways image.
Got down to the last 3 and was pinned behind a tree and another guy was in the buggy circling round, peaked out and burst the guys tires leaving him beside the guy pinning me down, the 2 of them had a firefight leaving me to take out the winner! Absolutely buzzing

That was what it was like in my first 5 games until I figured out that you just quick tap the button to look down the scope, I must've been missing by miles God this is a tense game. crawling to the last 10. fk guy next to me. stand up but he got more rounds into my face lol
yes agree it's got lots of glitches but for £25 i'm having a blast
Could be worse. I could have Spent £50 on the pile of st Project cars again. Biggest waste of money I have ever spent

I'm terrible in firefights but starting to get the hang of the general game. Trying to throw myself in a bit now rather than hanging around on the edges.
Inertialtooth45 of anyone wants to add me.
Firefights are not fun when your alone, as often you will be against 2 or more. I managed just too kill a due over the weekend but playing in a group of 2 or more is great fun Inertialtooth45 of anyone wants to add me.
