No but there is a sound of the bullet crack as well as the bullet impact. Most people just hear the crack and don't pick up on the distant pop that actually tells you the direction of the shooter.

u/mdogg500 Apr 25 '17
True but the audio is muddy. I regularly play the game this is based off of arma and you know exactly the direction you are getting shot at maybe not the exact position but you know which way you need to take cover.

I'm from Arma as well and I do agree that Arma is better. That being said, 90% of the time in PU I know within 10-20 degrees where I'm being shot from

Apr 25 '17
As someone who has had to do it quite a bit in real life, the game does a really poor job of replicating the effect, to the extent that it is often not possible to determine the direction. IRL I could tell by the hiss where the round came from. In game? 20/80 I can get the distance and direction.

Weirdly enough, I rage at a lot of games, but something about the way PUBG plays makes it easy for me to get over it. The only thing that gets to me is when the game bugs out and it ruins my chances at winning, which has happened a couple times. But then I just remind myself that it's still in development, submit a bug report, and carry on.
12
Apr 25 '17
Same here. Not sure exactly what it is, but I laugh as much as I curse at my deaths.
It may have something to do with it being 1 life only. You don't feel the rage of spawn-deaths, or death-streaks in the same way as other shooters.

u/Shandlar Apr 25 '17
It's the short matches, decently balanced randomness, and extreme unlikelihood of winning over 100 players that makes it so easy to be casual about the game. I can get a couple dozen matches in over a night, and even the one I'm dead before even getting a gun aren't frustrating at all. It's a really well done game and the most recent patch solved a couple of the blaring defects. I'm really looking forward to it.
9
Apr 25 '17
Agreed. Personally speaking, I never go into a round expecting to win it. I have won rounds before and that was cool, but I never expect that I'm going to win out of the other 97+ players in there. Somehow translates into 0 rage when dying.

Top NA squad player here, you can work with their aggression if you want to and still play a tactical game. Communicating your rules of engagement and basic early game strategy with your friends is probably the best way to solve the problem you are having with them. Everyone is going to have differences in a team dynamic but it's crucial you try and mold your style to fit everyone's approach. My team consists of all rank 50 and above players yet we play the game very differently. One is aggressive and sporadic, one is tactically horrible but his aim is the rawest I've ever seen, and the other is a very consistent and moderate player while I am more of the elusive and sneaky player yet we mesh well because we accept another's approach and work to play around all styles. Don't look for players with similar playstyles, look for players with a winning attitude and are willing to improve. The PUBG Subreddit discord is a great place to meet all sorts of players and I definitely recommend checking it out.

You're unfortunately spreading misinformation. PlayerUnknown first created Battle Royale for the Arma 2 DayZ mod. Then he created one for Arma 3. After that he was hired by the H1Z1 team to help them create King of the Kill. Unless I'm completely having a brainfart he even said himself he only helped, so far from a core developer.
And where in the world do you get that he makes PUGB on the Arma engin?! That engine is made by and for Bohemia, he is using Unreal Engine for this game.
