PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS V2- Stream Honks - Games

I am really fucking interested by the ballistics overhaul. I do wonder what exactly it's going to alter as I can't recall them going into much detail about it ever.

They could at least make bullets not react to window grate hitboxes if they're not adding bullet penetration. Maybe even make bullets shoot from the gun and not stomach

[QUOTE=hexpunK;52887513]I am really fucking interested by the ballistics overhaul. I do wonder what exactly it's going to alter as I can't recall them going into much detail about it ever.[/QUOTE] Most of the new ballistic changes are actually written down in the blog update Nomad posted. Basically, air drag on bullets (bigger bullet drop over distance traveled), changes to body hit modifiers based on type of weapon, distance traveled, where it hit etc.

Does that mean the VSS is going to be a melee weapon? That drop + ballistics can't be a good thing.

Will it be a 9mm or a Softair gun

don't be silly, it's going to be an airgun because it only shoots air your enemies feel a gentle breeze on their face and wonder "what the heck was that? oh well"

I really wish they would buff the Vintorez, it should be doing damage similar to the AKM. The 9x39 bullet the Vintorez uses is an offshoot of 7.62x39. I guess the whole reason it is weak is because they made it just use the common 9x19 instead of its actual caliber and that is how they had to balance it. I've gotten a few kills here and there with it, but it should be a lot better. As it stands now it is basically just an UMP-9 with a permanent 4x and smaller magazine.

Maybe the way to do it is to have even bigger damage multiplier with headshots or torso shots and smaller multiplier when hitting limbs.

Vaulting isn't as much of a game changer as I thought/hoped, although I've only played for a few hours. It may take a while for some tactics to really develop. But with my short experience, it's just removed the slight annoyance of not being able to jump over certain walls.

have you tried vaulting through a window yet

8 times can be zoomed out into a 4 times. Also undocumented, smoke bombs are no longer drawn by the client and always create the same fog effect blanketing an area. Woo.

You can climb through those tiny windows now. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chBrLrH3PuM&feature=youtu.be[/media] [url]https://gfycat.com/ShamefulDeficientKillifish[/url]

All vehicles now have unique and very distinct (and way better) sound effects.

No more REEEEDLEEEEDLEEEEDLEEEEDLEEEEDL?

What the hell, the bike is now my fave vehicle. Unfortunately crouch jump is no longer possible.

[QUOTE=Reagy;52889466]Don't think it matters now we can vault.[/QUOTE] I was thinking climbing house rooftops wasn't going to be possible because of it but the height of jump is just enough to get up the door, then vaulting kicks in.

I haven't tried the test servers (No idea how to honestly), but man some really weird shit was happening last night when I played. I drove to ruins and when I got out of my car at the church, the camera was glued about 30cm behind my head (could see my eyes as I walked), and I couldn't ADS, pick up items or enter my vehicle. I buggered around for a while and gave up, ran to the sunken city. When I got there, miraculously it fixed itself... until I entered a certain house, where it happened again. I quickly realised that specific areas all over the map triggered it, and just stepping back out of that spot returned me to normal. What the? It cost me the game in the end, I was running past the other side of Roshok having a tit for tat sniper fight with another runner, and halfway through while he's gunning down on me I get thrown into limbo mode again and start moving as slow as a snail. Good for a laugh but man what the hell, never had anything like this before.

You just run that and play whenever the test servers are live.

found someone with worse aim and worse luck with me [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0UOtzveBKk[/media] not even mad at dying though after that kill

Haven't played in like a month and hopped on the test server to try out vaulting and stuff and came across this [video]https://youtu.be/17OyQozFeyg[/video] I can't even tell if it was lag or someone hacking though... to me it seems like a hacker but could also be consistent with lag. Although I've seen videos of hackers doing some crazy things so I wouldn't be surprised if it was indeed a hacker.

That's PTR lag and it happens often.

[QUOTE=sh4d0w;52894135]That's PTR lag and it happens often.[/QUOTE] Kinda thought so, thanks. Now I feel silly for making the video lol

My fps in the test version is much better. I am glad they are optimising this game.

I absolutely hate people that constantly spam crouch whenever they shoot someone, how can someone do that and still be able to hit someone, especially with a 2/4 times scope? Anywayyyy, at least that didn't stop us [t]https://cloud.plaster.pw/u/17.11.16-00.57.53.jpg[/t]

Just curious when we're expecting to see these test server changes go live? I just had a 125mb update to my game and at first I thought they were already pushing the update haha. Anyone else get this little one?

Woo.[/QUOTE] I don't know if was just a PTR bug or something, but smoke didn't show up for me spectating at all. I tried pointing out some people just standing on top of a hill to my teammate, but the whole thing was apparently covered in smoke.
