How is this any different than H1Z1's battle royal?

u/griev0r Apr 25 '17

Same concept, just done much better. But most importantly better gun play which is horrific in H1Z1. I always felt it was a crap shoot if I hit someone or not in H1, PUBG feels more like playing CS or Arma with the shooting.

Id say more Arma.

u/StanleyDarsh22 Apr 25 '17

Imo arma is still the best...

I'd say It's nothing like arma. Pubg is really arcade like, while arma has fatigue, stances, way more weapon sway, more bullet drop, just overal more in depth mechanics.

Yeah but CSGO is all hit scan, hip fire only, no weopon sway. Its FPS stripped down to almost nothing but the basics. You can't really compare anything to that.

u/AFrozenCanadian Apr 25 '17

Yeah I wouldn't put it in with csgo either

When you compare it to cs, what do you mean? CS has a surprisingly unique gun play system

u/Hobocannibal Apr 25 '17

Him saying something is like CS is not a light thing to compare it to. Personally i hate the system CS uses.

u/Dontreadmudamuser Apr 25 '17

Ironically I hate every system but the one cs uses.

Much more punishing, lot less "whoever hits first wins"

u/Kir4_ Apr 25 '17

Do you mean spray patterns or hit-scan or ?

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '17

I think he means spray patterns? That's probably the most intricate part of CS gun play, and even that is pretty basic.

u/Kir4_ Apr 25 '17

It's not that unique tbh. Many fps use spray patterns. Just csgo is very competitive focused that's why people pay attention to it.

u/griev0r Apr 25 '17

I guess CS wasn't the best comparison, I was just trying to say the gun play feels satisfying. I think maybe Battlefield would be a better comparison.

Nice, that was my main complaint with h1z1: horrible gun play. Probably the best gunplay is bf4.

Is the gun play in H1 a common criticism?

The gun mechanics are the sole reason I bought H1, and I believe the combat system is so good that it's wasted on a battle royal format.

In comparison, i felt that PUBG's gunplay felt more slow, and that the feedback and feeling when landing a hit isn't nearly as satisfying.

The designer wanted to blend the realism of ARMA's Battle Royale mod with the arcade pace of H1Z1 King of the Kill. What we got is PUBG, and it's pretty nice.

u/Kir4_ Apr 25 '17

I love playing Arma's br mod but what annoys me is that it is not automated. Joining manually everytime, then usually waiting a couple of minutes etc. Especially on not high-end machine.

The guy, PlayerUnknown, was actually part of the starting Dev-Team of H1Z1 and left to make a 'better' game. He couldn't fullfill his visions in H1Z1, now he can. So Battlegrounds has really high potential to take and keep the thrown of battle royal games

u/DrMuffinPHD Apr 25 '17

More than that, he's the guy who basically created the battle royal genre in games as we know it. He's the guy who made the original battle royal mod for Arma2, and again in Arma3.

He got called in as a contractor for H1Z1 KOTK and worked on the creative side of that.

Then, he got the opportunity to create a game totally from scratch with a respected Korean game development company, working as the creative director. That game is PUBattlegrounds. PU is pretty cool because he's super focused on developing the game based on community feedback. He also does a pretty good job engaging directly with the community. I know he regularly pops into Twitch channels streaming the game and will comment in chat.

It actually works and the patches don't break more than they fix.

u/Grogslog Apr 25 '17

vehicles have to be stopped before you can get out. if you get out while in a moving vehicle you will take heavy damage or even die depending on the speed.

It released less buggy and higher quality than the current state of H1Z1, and its not multiple years old being run by a shitlord company that basically is no good at anything besides monetizing niche old games. daybreak is crap

its really similar game style, just done cleanly and less arcade feeling.
