There’s no doubt that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the most well-known games on the market today, as its introduction to the masses rejuvenated an interest in the battle royale genre as a whole, which gave rise to other famous competitors such as Epic Games’ Fortnite Battle Royale . With so many folks still vying for yet another Chicken Dinner in PUBG , it’s great to see that the developers remain dedicated in making the game run as smoothly as possible with updates like Patch
Nonetheless, this latest iteration of Counter-Strike has not been without its issues over the years, and one noticeable problem is the use of item trading. Trading in CS: GO is effectively a mini-economy in its own right, with some players cashing in on earned skins for big payoffs, while there are ongoing concerns over the use of skins as a virtual currency for online gambling. Eventually, Valve decided enough was enough and has implemented changes, with a recently-traded item now stuck in a seven day cool down before it can be moved on ag
A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti
How did this happen? Surely, you took note of the mini-map that showed your icon embedded within the red transparent circle, and heeded the warning of the on-screen notification stating the red zone would be starting soon. Obviously, you took note of the “Warning! Red zone has started!” message, and took shelter within the nearest building. No? You didn’t try to avoid the red zone at all? It may be time to rethink your strategy; a sentiment shared by Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lead designer and director, Brendan Gre
Today’s 2018 roadmap for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is hopefully everything players have been hoping to hear for some time. Certain topics commonly discussed by the community may have been absent from the roadmap, like balance and crates, but those were likely beyond the scope of the roadmap. Also at issue is the lack of a more specific release schedule, perhaps betraying PUBG Corp.’s lack of dedication to these pl
The team at Bluehole and PUBG Corp. will ultimately make the final decisions as to what will make PUBG Walkthrough the best game that it can be. However, it is refreshing to hear that the game’s leadership and development team take community feedback to heart, especially as the game continues to build itself out since exiting Early Access late last year, and announcing its 2018 roadmap last mon
Valve is no stranger to fallout, such as ongoing complaints over Steam’s quality control, the paid mods controversy or the reaction of fans to new game Artifact , but this number of issues relating to one of its most popular franchises in such a short amount of time will no doubt require action. If Valve is serious about getting back into game development , then it will also want to make sure that it does so in a timely man
Unfortunately for Valve, this wasn’t the only problem with CS:GO that reared its head recently. Counter-Strike eSports commentator Matthew ‘Sadokist’ Trivett used a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , before going on to suggest that CS:GO community member Don Haci commit suicide. Although Trivett eventually apologised for his actions via a Facebook post, he has nonetheless been suspended from Twitch and it remains to be seen if there will be further ramificati
Some people may have been playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for around a year and still may not be very good, however, the mobile game also has some help in that department. For new players to get to grips with the game, there is a new addition of bots. When leveling up, the ratio of bots to real players decreases, but with their bumbling incompetence, they aren’t that hard to spot. It certainly makes it less daunting than facing 100 expert snipers on a first go, making it easier for newcomers to ease into PU
What’s more is that Tencent – the company responsible for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ‘ Chinese localization and the mobile port – went so far as to work with the country’s police to catch cheat makers. This collaboration between Tencent and the Chinese authorities assisted police in uncovering 30 cases of alleged involvement in making PUBG cheats and led to the arrest 120 people in Chi
Nevertheless, PUBG players now have a document with which to hold PUBG Corp. accountable and PUBG Corp. has made public their plans to keep fans happy. And that kind of transparency in development is exactly what fans have wanted for a long time now from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegroun
