H1Z1 Going Free-to-Play Won t Save It

When anybody copies anything, whether it be yesterday's homework or a triple-A video game, that person or company is usually slammed for doing so. Unusually, though, that's not the case for Fortnite , as the game wears almost all of its influences on its sleeve despite still continuing to dominate the mar


The quickdraw magazine is only good for one thing. Sure, being able to reload faster can be very helpful, but it may not be quite as helpful as some of the other magazines can. Most of the other attachments have multiple different uses, and a lot of them are plainly better than being able to reload faster. If this is something that can help you, go ahead and pick it up, however, there are other, better alternatives to the quickdraw magazine in PU


Earlier we talked about barricading bridges and what that can do for you as an offensive-minded player. It was also mentioned that if you encounter this strategy being done by another team against you that vaulting over the bridge into the water could mean the difference between life and elimination. Once you hit the water and start swimming for sure it's now time to get extra careful Newer players may assume that once you're in the water there's nothing to worry about. On the contrary, the water is where you're most vulnerable and susceptible to gunshots. Players can and will see your head and arms traversing the water and will do everything in their Destiny 2 power grind to make sure you never see the shorel


By all accounts, it's a rather fun mode even if it's drastically different and feels like a last-ditch effort/gimmick to regain some traction. On its launch, Daybreak sponsored top streamer Dr. Disrespect to play the game for the day but within a day or two, H1Z1 was nowhere to be seen on Twitch. The full launch a week ago added these updates as w


Fortnite deserves a ton of credit for how they rolled out their game versus PUBG . Making Fortnite a free-to-play game validates the reasons for the affordable battle pass and all the other cosmetics that the game off


Both of these outfits are extremely rare to find in a game, but they both offer a coveted outfit that allows you to camouflage with the environment. Though it is admittedly more fun to watch someone stumble around as a bush in Fortni


There's plenty that is still in the control of PUBG , though. For starters, the game's technical issues need to be addressed, and fixes need to be put in place sooner rather than later. After all, the game has now left the bubble of early access for PC, and now needs to stand on its own two feet as a finished product. Although PC gamers often have plenty of patience while a game is in early access, that can wear thin when the title is supposed to be a complete experie


If you're playing PUBG there's a high chance that you've at least dabbled with the Call of Duty franchise in some capacity. That also means that there's a very high likelihood that you played Call of Duty with that one friend with the super expensive headset. There's a reason players who take the game way too seriously splurge on these headsets; directional audio. PUBG also features this type of audio and it can be the difference in coming out on top. Not only can you hear other players near you in a match. If you listen close enough, or your headset is good enough, you can hear the specific direction in which they are moving. Many shooters offer radars that allow players to get a general sense of where their opponents are. PUBG trades in that user interface tool for the simple use of sound. Want to get a jump on someone trying to sneak up on you? Do you want to sneak up on an unsuspecting player or team? The sound is going to be your best friend. Some of the best PUBG players in the world use sound to their advantage and is a huge reason they can rack up so many defeats in a ma


There's strength in numbers, and that's especially apparent in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . When playing in squad, especially with trusted teammates, one's chances of winning in the game drastically improve. Players in squads have to worry far less about stealth, and can rush loot-heavy areas to acquire the best stuff without having to fear too much about being blasted away by enemy play


This puts the game at something of a crossroads. At the moment, it's unimaginable for such a hugely popular game to slip from the public eye, but the title needs to consolidate its place at the top of gaming, and needs to do so quickly. Nowhere is it harder to make a prolonged impression in gaming than in the online multiplayer scene, and although the spoils of victory are great the drop offs can be astronomi


By far the most difficult way to win in the increasingly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is playing by yourself or with random teammates. Even so, there are measures players can take to increase their odds of winning, or at least making it into the top

How impressive it then that the free Fortnite achieved even higher player counts, and in the last few weeks has taken over PUBG as the number one played (and streamed) shooter. Rapid content updates, better communication with its user base, a broad appealing title available on both consoles and PC have allowed it to take over while PUBG conversely sits relatively stagnant on updates, instead favoring a focus on sketchy loot box microtransactions (many of which now require real-money to open) and all of which can be sold for real-money raising concerns for hacking and the effects of gambl
