Out of interest, what's the thought process behind playing FPP rather than TPP?

I've always thought TPP was better as you had a wider vision, although admittedly FPP is probably easier to aim? In something like PUBG would the ability to see other players easier/earlier be more beneficial? Or is there another reason I've not thought of?
Don't forget your enemies have the same advantage and may be better at exploiting it than you.

Hackers are also rampant in TPP
FPP is by far the better, fairer game mode. It all came to a head for me when we were cruising down the road in a Mirado and a dude stood up behind a rock and headshotted me out the car.

He could see us, we had no way of knowing he was there.

There are a fair few of us on the PH (well, it was mine just for me and a mate but its grown somewhat...) discord and we were primarily TPP and mostly hated FPP but wouldn't go back now. Took some time to adjust though.

Been playing a good bit of pubg lite as well, the BR seems a more chilled game for some reason, far less sweaty, maybe cos there's bots in the early stages of the game and k/d, adr, wiin rate etc means nothing. Damn sight less frustrating than proper pubg at the moment.

Discovered the 4v4 mode this afternoon - First team to 40 kills wins. Been playing with one other guy and 2 randoms and we've won all the games we've played. Really good fun. I went 19-2 in one game and got mvp. Tidy.

I switched to FPP from TPP. Like most I initially went TPP for the ability to see round corners, but I find FPP more engaging - more intense, and I do better. I think it's because FPP forces you to constantly look around. Not sure why, but I do better.

New map, Karakin. 2x2, 64 players.

Pretty damn good. Imagine it's going to be a bit of a clusterfk when it gets to the live servers later this month but a refreshing change of pace.

Anyone else had a bash?

Quite enjoy it! Nice little map.

Looks good, another new dimension, annoyed they are removing Vikendi though.

Frustrated with the amount of Keyboard and Mouse players on console though, they really need to crack down on it as it’s ruining the game.

Why not use a keyboard and mouse yourself?

It’s for PC gaming not console, if you need to cheat and use a device that tricks the X Box into thinking you are using a controller it’s cheating.

It’s thumb control Vs arm / wrist, huge advantage.

ETA; I believe Vikendi is out for a remodel.

I mean.... don't they natively support mouse and keyboard? So not really cheating. :-)

Nope, they do not natively support it on XBox or PS4 you need to use XIM.

So for me, unfair advantage and therefore cheating!

Generally used by people who would get owned on PC so think they are good by playing MnK on console smile

Hopefully they will start to ban it and force them back to PC.

Ah OK, I thought it was natively supported.

In that case, fair enough - Shouldn't be allowed!

Guys what's going on with PUBG? Anyone still playing?

Since last night I have played 5 games, all random squads, won all 5 with 31 kills! I am normally useless! Am I playing against bots?!

Must be my new outfit!

If that's the case then I might fire it up again if I'm in with a chance hehe

I'm also keen to see if our recently upgraded broadband makes any difference, in the past I was 10mbps download/1.5mbps upload on a good day. Now it's averaging around 35mbps/4mbps...

Still full of hackers. But Vikendi is back and arcade team match is amusing. 5 maps now but you can only realistically play 3 as Solo FPP. They should just make all the maps random rotation rather than letting you choose. VSS is still my favourite gun.

Well after a game with 19 kills I had to have a Google... bots in the game to fill the lobbies apparently. Absolute cannon fodder, even for me.

Novelty wears off quickly.

Considering the game uses approximately 20kb/s down and 12kb/s up , no :-)

Check on PUBG stats, if in solo / squad you should see x/100 or x/25, much lower and it’ll be bots.

My normal KD is around 2.5 and I’m running at 4+ at the mo’, ruined the game.
