Mobile makes your first match very easy. First hit is free. Something I think the PC version should do. Though I'm not sure how they could without bots.
570 hours of playing and I just got my first solo chicken dinner.
tbf, I mostly play squad. And when I play solo I go for kills to maximise my BP farming.
Still seeing a few dodgy players, as well as a brand new account, eeeeeeddddccc, first game ever played, that had 15 kills and got a chicken dinner. Ah, beginner's luck.
edit- looking at the stats of a player in one of our games, had a 39 metre punch. Shame that it was outside the 1k radius. I would have liked to see that, because there's no way of knowing if it's a glitch or a cheat. My assumption is a glitch, which only makes me want to see it more.
edit- eeeeeeddddccc not banned, but his teammate with 3 kills was. What a world.
Test map is fun. Time between circles is really short, but the circle itself seems to move slower. Still clearly alpha, there is at least one building without textures on the outside, and every building is empty on the inside (except for stuff you can pickup). I'm not sure it will be that great in squads, there is a cluster of houses every 200m. It does have Winchesters, so it could be a mirror of the desert map weapons.... and for some reason it seemed to have an excess of vectors, but that could just be my small sample size.
I got a 3rd place, on basically the last circle that was 23 minutes, so I'm guessing the max game time is going to be 26ish.
My main concern with the new map is that trying to pick up guns off the drop is the worst part of the game. I like the idea of more intense rounds, but that part of the game is my least favorite and seems unavoidable on a map that small. I also hope it has its own queue and isn't in the regular rotation.

There are enough small clusters of houses all over that you could easily drop, or adjust your drop so you never land in the same town as another player in solo queue. Also, I don't know if it is just the map balance, or because there are no cosmetic items around, but there are weapons all over too.
One other thing I forgot is that as soon as someone kills you, you can spectate them. While in this mode, you can report them. It should be good to check for cheaters if you need more than just the kill cam. If the person you are spectating dies, it switches to the person that killed them.

Last night was an incredibly frustrating evening of hackers and cheats. KAR98k's firing like machine guns. Having one player kill two of our players via rapid aimbot. By the end of the night I was seriously considering uninstalling until they can get their act together. But we have gun skins now! :bigfrown:

I enjoy the first 30 seconds of gameplay. I get a weapon and then get to shoot unarmed/unarmoured people. FLEE! FLEE! I AM YOUR GOD!!!
If I don't get a weapon then it's bullshit and the game is broken.
I've definitely had starts where I'd have to go through 10-12 buildings before I found a pistol. Sometimes longer for backpacks.
Me record is ten minutes. I was loaded for the gills with gear, just no guns or grenades. (The pan is armor not a weapon)
Shit is wanky.
I've also had starts where I was loaded in the first few minutes. Did a drop in the prison, right on the roof of the large building, and found a DP-28 with a ton of ammo and just murdered the shit out of fools.

Me one game: fucking piece of shit game can't even find a gun that guy who dropped with me is probably loaded now, fuck this I hate it, gonna uninstall.
Next game: Kar98 and a mini? Thanks game I love you!
Although I never seem to find a scope and a Kar in the same game. It's like it taunts me. Get the Kar, next game immediately find a 4x or 8x. FUUUUUU

man remember when the mini was the best gun in the game =[
When I land and don't see any weapons I'll just kind of stand still for 20 seconds and wait for it all to load in after the clothes gets priority loading time.

Every map needs its own queue. A number of my friends stopped playing because they hate the desert map.
I have no doubt in my mind that the actual probability works out to near 50%. But I absolutely do not like Miramar because A) I never seem to find a scope and a sniper as often as others do to play the map which has almost 0 cover outside of a few mountains that everyone else fights for everything is so god damned brown

I fully support more queues especially if we get weather back. The problems weren't the maps it was the maps firing before filling with a pool of players who wanted to play them.
Also, a lot of the reason that I hate Erangel is that watching the circle collapse onto the island and transform the bridges into a death trap gets boring really fast.

Gotta find a boat.
Well fuck, they're all spawned on the other side of the island. :rotate:

Boats are relatively common, and the channel is narrow enough to swim, but the number of beaches to land on get narrowed down to the point where you've exchanged bridge hell for Normandy by the time that you know where the match will end.
I'm digging the new map so far. My only real criticism is that the early circles last a bit too long. The mid and late circles feel really good, though.
I'm really curious to see what this new map will play like with squads. It's been fairly easy to find loot solo, but I imagine things would be fairly dire with a squad unless you drop hot.
Thanks to vaulting I can usually sneak around the less popular sides of the island and just vault my way up.
I may need to throw some matches simply to attempt and practice that cliff climbing approach.
Make sure to bind vault and jump to two separate keys so you don't frustrate the shit out of yourself. My friends absolutely refuse to do it and it ends up screwing us because it limits where we can land.

Anecdotally I've encountered a lot less cheaters the last week.
Aimbots are super rare, it's mostly the recoiless-full auto with any gun hack, and ESP.
And the ESP one seems the fuck with their vision, because they can't seem to see if you're in cover. Might be a useful hack in FPP, but in TPP I just stick behind until they reload or start running to get a better angle, then shoot them.
And, while cheating is the one thing that sucks the most fun out of this game, it has ironically made me a better player. Knowing 100% that you're going to lose a shootout with someone means that I had to learn better tactics. And grenades. Lots of grenades.
Last two groups of cheaters we ran into in duos we managed to kill without taking a loss.
Oh oops this thread moved fast but my main issue with the start of the match after drop isn't the gameplay itself when it runs smooth. It's more so that things possibly load slower/get buggy than the next guy over.
The mad rush for guns and scrounging and arising gunplay is actually pretty fun and more like a traditional FPS for a few minutes. It's just when your game bugs out but the guy next to you loaded everything just fine then it can go fuck itself. And that's basically a 50/50 toss up for me.
Good to know the small map has options though.

This argument implies a serious lack of spending the first 10 minutes finding a boat wherever you are.
But at the very least I think we should be able to build a boat by flipping and then welding two cars together.
the issue for me almost always is I don't like to land on the bottom half of erangel so if the first circle is absolutely showing a military game I'll head down there ASAP once I gear up.
But 6/10 times the boats didn't spawn on that side of the channel. Or the 2 that did we already taken. I remember a few games I journeyed back into the blue to primorsk to look for a boat at the southern tip. I remember watching one dude beach a whole bunch of the boats before taking off in one of them. If this happens to you, you can push a boat back into the water with a jeep usually. I dunno if the dacia or buggy have enough force to do it.

Milbase is a pretty generous, I prefer Miramar's eastern islands, which have no bridge and average between 0 and 2 boats. It's very easy to land, grab a weapon, take a boat and blow up the rest.
The lack of boats make it fun, because not only are you rushing around trying to get a weapon before the other guy gets one, you're also trying to secure the boat. If you fail at the first you can always steal the latter. Which is practically the same as killing them yourself.
I've never been stuck on the islands without boats. I have been stuck on the island after the enemy that landed with me grabs the boat.
Tbh, it's not that bad to swim, but you have to do it very early.

Erangel on the other hand is mostly open fields. I hate that pair of islands. Only rain /fog made it bearable.

But that's personal preference and all the more reason we should be able to choose the maps we want to play.
