Well I think it's the same loot that drops as solo, so there's just less to go around. It's good in a way but I'm forever searching for 5.56 in anything other than solo. Makes actually engaging with anyone a real decision because you're likely to run out of ammo if you don't down them quick.
I think solo is the way to go if you want to learn how to play. You're just not gonna get the practice you need in squads.

Yeah fuck that game. It's smooth as butter but I want my last man standing experience to be tense. If they did a mode in Fortnite minus the shit building mechanics I might play it more.
The Disney look also doesn't do much for me but I see the appeal.
I love the real world, tatty, eastern bloc apocalypse look of PUBG so much more for some reason.

It's worse now than when it first released amazingly. Frame drops are now worse than ever when other players are close. Whole buildings can sometimes just materialise out of thin air fifteen minutes into a match and you can be in the plane halfway across the map and still be stick on the loading screen in some matches. It's totally fucked.
Yeah it's bad. I uninstalled the whole thing and reinstalled. Makes a difference but bear in mind all your settings will reset. Buildings are defo loading in quicker now. Hit reg seems off since the patch though.
Last seven alive, a guy near me is in a sniper duel. I sneak up on him, shoot him in the side. He scuttles behind a tree, pulls out his Scar and peeks right side, I shoot him again. He peeks left and I shoot the tree. Peeks right again, I shoot him again, bearing in mind I can basically only see his head and neck when he peeks. I'm out of ammo now, switch to my Kar98 but miss him with it when he peeks left again and I die. After like 20 minutes or so of getting looted and into a position I'm left wondering what the fucking point is. I'm sure it's people from other regions taking advantage of the lag compensation, bring on the region lock.
So it looks like PUBG, runs and plays a fucktonne better than PUBG, and is affiliated in a roundabout way with the PUBG devs. So just call it PUBG and replace BUGG, we won't complain.

Patch 12 released today. Seems to be dividing opinion.

These patches are becoming a bit of a running joke now. They've fixed some grass? Good job! How about making those playdough buildings render now you've sorted the grass lol.
People should stop saying that. That appears to be the retort from anyone that doesn't play the game or has spent thirty odd quid on it. No other game in the preview program runs anywhere near as bad as this. It's totally broken. It's had loads of patches but they're no closer to anything remotely stable. It's laughable. Especially when you look how well Fortnite runs.
It's been out long enough for them to fix fundamental issues like the game actually running and functioning. At this point, I don't think it's possible on Xbox honestly.
It's running smoothly but the desynchronization issues are only alleviated because the fella is playing on Asian servers and benefiting from that over eager lag compensation.
Also, 'The Hype Zone' on the Xbox Mixer app is great fun. It switches to the steamer nearest a chicken dinner and then switches again once that player dies/wins. It's funny when they realise they're on hype zone and the pressure is properly on. Great idea.
