Sadly, First person servers won't be in until launch, or maybe towards the end of early access, they need to improve the quality of first person first. One of the ways they are going to improve it is a FOV slider.
There will be a skill based matchmaking system.
When they add the vault system, normal jumps won't get as much height, but can still be used to jump across containers.
They are looking at pistol balance and want one to be usable "end game".
So does that mean we're looking at maybe a G18 or 93R? Or maybe a .44mag that hits like a truck? Ooo! Or maybe an armor-penetrating 5.7. But, at the point of adding another ammo type, you may as well toss in a second weapon that'll use that ammo type (like, say, a p90).
I would love both a near rifle-powered revolver (I mainly used the .44 Magnum in MW3) and the P90 (which I used a ton in MW and is also just very cool).
Rank #2. Again. Circle got TINY and the last guy rushed me and somehow killed me from full health with a vector in like two shots, despite me getting a point blank hit with a SK12.
Funnest last circles were in the middle of polyana. Lots of house to house fighting. Last circle was in the middle of the street, I died on my way to it. Had some fun encounters, at one point there were 5 or 6 smoke grenades going at the same time. My favorite kill was running along a concrete fence between houses with two people behind me, I rounded a corner before the middle guy could shoot me, and before he could make it the trailing person killed him so his body went flying past my corner, which I then rounded and gunned him down.
I guess I understand why, but it's kind of annoying that there's no speed threshold below which you don't make noise while moving. Crouched plus walking really shouldn't be noticeable enough for someone to set up an ambush on me.

The only thing I found that worked: crouched + walking + carpeted floors. From what I could tell, the flooring material has a pretty significant impact on how audible you are.

I wasn't sure if you could jump through a broken window, but I figured I had to take my high ground chance to kill #3 while I could. Couldn't get through the window and died in the loooong way through the blue to get out of that house. But still, #2, and I feel like my first pretty well played game! Got some neat sniping kills with the M16+8x scope I lifted off some poor sucker who totally didn't hear me running up behind him to shotgun his face off. The S12K is a pretty neat gun too! Feels WAY better than the pump and double barreled shotguns.
Hopefully vaulting will let us brave the broken glass and make emergency exits as is warranted?
Imagine a final circle with six people left alive in it, yours truly. All collapse long I've been listening to a high powered rifle taking shots from my left to my right, shooting people in the open field and across it.
I crawl. I keep crawling. And I wait.
Imagine a square, where each corner is one of those six survivors. The guy in front of me kills someone to his left, then I kill him... and then the sniper, who is still alive, kills me from my left. I thought he was the first guy who died =(
Two deaths to impossibly accurate shooting through walls in two days. No LOS to the outside but every single round managed to hit me, no matter where I was.
Oh well. Hackers have been minimal thus far for me- was bound to hit a couple eventually.
I've found that even with a 1080ti I'm better turning the settings on this thing down to medium/high (with the exception of view distance).
Also, I'm seconding the post I saw earlier saying we need some sort of shooting gallery to practice with the guns. You actually so seldom get to fire anything that the firearm dynamics are a complete mystery.

Some windows you can't get through, but others you can jump through if you run, then hit crouch and jump at the same time. This technique also gives you more vertical. You can use it to get over those annoying white fences.

Ah damn, crouch jumping is a thing in this game? Guess I gotta rebound that to left control now.

I'm having a hard time imagining a square with six corners. Do you mean a hexagon, or some people are doubled-up in corners, or...?

It's so much fun browsing for a streamer to watch, finding a new one, and joining the stream minutes before they get sniped and start spewing salt about how they knew that area and there's no reason they should have been looking this way and I think they were stream sniping and that was bullshit and and.
Like, chill, dude. You had just fired five shots at a different player. They probably peeked over to do exactly what they just did to you. You know, because they knew you were there. Because you made noise.
Yeah, any time I'm stationary for more than half a second, I'm free looking all around me the entire time. Even just catching what you think is enemy movement can and will save your ass.
4 kills near the end from sneaking up on dudes with the silenced uzi, but it was down to me and 1 dude shooting at me while I was behind a tree, I tried to throw a grenade but grenades are so clunky in the game I couldn't get it to not aim at the tree and I died when stepping out like 3 feet to not have it blow up in my hand. They really need to work on the grenade throw.
Anyway, 7 kills total that game and only one dude ever shot back up to that point, nobody else had a clue where I was. I should have put my faith in the uzi at the end.

Prone Blocked my ass, I'm standing in an open doorway! Goddammit, game.
Edit: ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK THE CIRCLE THAT CUT OUR GROUP OF BUILDINGS IN HALF SO MINE WAS UNSAFE AND THEIRS WASN'T.
edit: after thinking for a moment it's not either of the above things I'm mad at, it was another case of jumping not actually getting me over the thing I need to get over
Chicken Dinner in 2s. My friend got 7 kills. One of my kills was stolen by the circle.
We happened to have a fresh airdrop in our path on the way to the circle. I had an 8x scope and could see 2 bodies on it already, camped it out and injured the two other dudes who killed them. When the ducked behind their car another group got them, and we eventually killed that group. Walked away from the stash with a Tommy gun and silenced Kar98 with 8x scope. That tommy gun won us the final circle, getting my 3(4) kills with it.
Also my trigger was stuck down after the final kill giving me a nice celebratory air spray, but my shadowplay wasn't working and couldn't capture it
Until you find out that the vault is a 10 second, uncancellable animation, where your head stays at the exact same level the entire time.... and still doesn't get you over the things that you can't jump over right now (but still plays the animation).
Seriously though, now that I'm used to how jump works in the game, I'm a little worried about the upcoming changes. There are quite a few places where I jump on top of a railing on a rooftop so I can jump to another place. Depending on how the vault works, you might not be able to do this.
I used to feel like I was kind of okay at this game, but I'm pretty sure I was just lucky.
And lately, I've been meeting the opposite side of that coin.
Went my last round basically running from circle to circle, getting shot at by people I couldn't see, barely getting away. Finally, I find a dude laying down in a field, take two shots at him and get SCAR'd to the back the head a dozen times, again, by an assailant I couldn't see. While I was in a bush. With a silencer on.
I'm not saying it's impossible he could see me, just... what are the odds that it would be right then that he saw me, as I finally, gleefully sighted down my first kill all night?
Again, I need to take a break from this game, I think.

I am so eager for the next patches. Removing the .ini tweaks to disable foliage, removing crashbangs, plus the thursday patch holds a new weapon. Man I wanna play so bad, but I have to wait, knowing whats coming.
I've never been so excited for EA patches. I've been burned by early access before, but <diety> help me, I'm holding on to this one. When its good its so damn good.
Yeah, these guys seem to be on the right track, and I think that's because they too have been burned on the EA shit before. PlayerUnknown has been around since ARMA 2 or 3 and he's watched Day Z and H1Z1 become the shithouse because of EA Hell. He and his team seem damned and determine not to go that way themselves.

I'm mostly glad they killed lag switching. Nothing ruins a game more than rampant cheating.
I thought they removed stun grenades? I found one and use it today... on myself. I tried to toss it up a floor and ended up bouncing it off the railing of the stairs, which got me. My computer could handle it and not crash but I wasn't expecting to see one.

One big reason why this game is so compelling and fun dawned on me today. It reminds me very strongly of the time I spent growing up, playing paintball in the woods with my high school friends. Most of us lived outside of town, in fairly wooded areas, and a few of our families had decent amounts of land - so we would convert that property into woodsball courses and enact our own versions of what this game does. Teams, free for alls, VIP escort games (I wonder if there's a way to do that fairly in this setting?). So much fun.

Except optics. Not a single fucking optics in the entire apartments, including one of the roofs.

But decide to stop by some of the nearby houses since they seem unlooted.
First one another guy had walked into the opposite entrance exactly the same time as me.
I filled him with miniuzi shots but nope, downed me 3 shots from an AKM.
