Can PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Remain Popular Long-Term

From WarhammerWorkshop


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


Bullet loops fall into the same category as the quickdraw magazine because bullet loops also allow for a faster reload speed. What makes them different to other quickdraw magazines is that they are for specific weapons. Bullet loops are used for shotguns and sniper rifles. Another thing they can do is decrease the base spread of a weapon. As I said before, there are better, more useful attachments that have a variety of indispensable skil

There are three types of grenades in PlayerUnknow's Battleground. Respectively, they are: the frag, smoke, and the stun. The frag is pretty self-explanatory: throw and it explodes. Smoke grenades generate a smoke cloud. The stun does what the name entails. However, the stun grenade is a throwable you may want to avoid. Unlike the smoke and frag grenade, if you miss with the stun, and it may cost you. If you do get somebody, it doesn’t really last a good amount of time, either. If you find a way to use it, go ahead, but this grenade you may want to av


Play with the Volume Up - Sound in PUBG is extremely important, so play with the volume up. Players can hear the footsteps of enemies that try to sneak up on them, plus they can hear gunfights in the distance as well as vehicles that may be approach


Another year later, early 2017, and H1Z1: King of the Kill is a force to be reckoned with. It topped the charts of Twitch.tv, was popular among YouTubers and peaked at over 100,000 concurrent players. It was a game-changer, and one that helped skyrocket the idea of battle royale gameplay, allowing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to come in and rather quickly take over the market. Streamers began moving over, leaving H1Z1 for the more "realistic" PUBG . PUBG was the new hotness, its creator having a hand in both games. Not long later, Epic Games (the makers of the game engine that PUBG uses) stole their idea and added a free-to-play battle royale mode themselves to fledgling Fortnite and made it available on not just PC, but PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. Again, for fr


All of this however, spells doom for H1Z1 (yes, a few months ago it dropped the "King of the Kill" subtitle). In the last seven months, H1Z1 has lost over 90% of its player base leading up to its official launch out of early access on February 28, 2018. That's some bad planning, and somehow the three year-old title still hasn't found itself on consoles. Is it too l


This is even more important when it comes to the console version of the game. PUBG is currently available through Xbox's Game Preview Program, and from a commercial perspective it has been incredibly successful by selling over 3 million copies in an incredibly short amount of time. However, the Xbox One version of the game has suffered tremendously from technical issues , and PUBG Corporation will have to carefully balance sorting out these serious limitations with further tweaks for the PC version of the g


In order to solve this, PUBG will need to remain inviting to new players beyond its current hype. Thankfully the core gameplay dynamic of the game is simple enough for Destiny 2 power grind new players to grasp while the metagame is yet to become overly convoluted, and the game's developers will need to walk that fine line between delivering new content and making sure said content does not make it difficult for players to get into the g


The extended magazine can be found for different types of weapons like pistols and rifles. There are other magazine types, but the extended is unique because it provides more bullets that you can fire before having to reload. Some extended magazines for certain guns can provide a massive decrease in reloading for extra help as well. It can be beneficial in the early portion of the game when you have one gun and are taking on another player.It may just be the edge you need. It could also be useful when engaging in a firefight and the other player has to reload. Extended magazines are an attachment to look


Despite claims that H1Z1 was dead and the depressing, massive drop in player activity that can be seen on Steam Charts , Daybreak remains confident and dedicated to their battle royale title. It launched out of early access finally two weeks ago and brought with it a surprise brand new mode called **Auto Royale ** which "puts the pedal to the metal within the standard battle royale conce


This seems to be a year too late and we can't see this event being a destination for fans because there aren't that many, nor will Facebook streaming be the place gamers will be watching their favorite teams compete. PUBG has held multiple esports tournaments already, and while that game has plenty of issues of its own (something they also had to cop to today in their own official layout of plans for the future - a reaction to Fortnite kicking their butts lately), at least it has the players and stream inter
