There are few places more exciting for the circle to close on than the Cosmodrome. Not only does it look like a scene straight out of the end of one of the old James Bond 007 movies, but there is one of the largest structures ever to dot PUBG's landscape located at the Cosmodrome (an old missile silo, pictured above) which has the potential to see multiple teams on multiple levels firing up and down at each other in may
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers the chance to explore and scrap through the three gigantic maps of Miramar, Erangel, and Sanhok–with Vikendi having just recently entered the Public Test Server to boot. One's tasked with scrounging for consumables, armor, and weapons to survive matches populated with up to 100 players, as a storm circle slowly encroaches and forces those still alive to duke it out in tense, ever-closer firefights. This can be done as a Solo endeavor, or AI in gaming Duos and 4-person Squads, but the goal essentially remains the same no matter the size of the team, and that is to be the only survivor(s) at the end of the ma
When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play
Season 7 of **PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS ** has begun, and in addition to returning players to the snow covered landscape of Vikendi the game also introduces players to a (theoretically) new weapon in the form of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle . While some of the changes made to Vikendi's map are drastic, such as the activation of the rail system which allows players a brand-new way to travel across the landscape and the removal of areas like Tovar and Movatra, others are smaller but just as important, such as the fact that there is much, much less snow for players to leave footprints
On PC, PUBG has settled in after its massive player base began shrinking month after month, and it runs well enough on high-end PCs. On consoles, though, it's not a recommendable experience, especially on the PS4 version of the game which gets embarrassed in visuals and performance by more recent shooters Black Ops 4 and Battlefield
The vehicles in PUBG are as essential to the game as players running through the fields swinging frying pans and getting sniped by Shroud. Let's see what we have here -- Minivans full of squads slamming into buildings and going up in flames, motorcyclists flipping through the skies only to get their best friend killed as they run into a tree -- ah, the list goes on. It's all so much good fun, and while Fortnite does have some great vehicles as of today, they're mostly meant for playing around with. They just aren't the craziness that can be found with the vehicles in P
One of the biggest drawbacks of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 comes from its lack of polish, as it's almost a given that one will come across texture and detail pop-ins every time they decide to play a round. On top of this, there are some janky animations that can't be ignored, as well as other frequent object rendering issues. What's more is that the bland aesthetics and environments in PUBG leave a lot to be desired, with virtually every area on the game's available maps being nearly indistinguishable from one another, especially on the desert map Miram
In response to the uncertain state of PUBG , fans of other multiplayer-focused titles have urged developers to region-lock Chinese players. Most notably, battle royale fans currently enjoying EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends are adamant about curtailing the flow of hack
What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya
Within the game, you'll notice what may be the worst texture pop-in you've seen on the PlayStation 4, severe frame rate drops and the clunkiest shooting and looting mechanics. To play as a shooter experience, PUBG is bad and so it shouldn't be played for that. What it does well however, and this part translates to every version of the game (even on mobile), is the feeling of survival and when playing with others, the team-based tact
That said, everyone has a preference between the two. Even though they are both fun games that players can sink countless hours into, there are subtle differences between the two that make them stand out from each other. So, it’s about time that we take a look at them and let you decide which is the definitive Battle Royale g
