I've been playing in first person the past couple days. I'll say that the game feels a lot different. Most notably I've gotten more kills than I have yet, seems like if I get the drop on someone across a field or something they aren't able to figure out where I am. So in that sense it's easier. Driving in first person only is a pain in the ass, although I see why they have to do it so that people don't just hang out in a vehicle and use third person.

Haven't made up my mind yet, although I still have more fun with third person at the moment.

One of the SoloMid guys was talking about it earlier on Twitch, for instance.

I guess I'm just looking forward to the time when those other games add in a "circle/battle royale" mode. Battlefield and COD have differences in scale of map, bullet drop/shooting mechanics and so on. The shooting in PUBG doesn't seem to be enough of it's own flavor to set it apart. When "Battlefield Battle Royale" mode is eventually released, what will PUBG have that sets it apart?

I LOVE competitive FPS games. I've been clapping on fools since the original CS, I think that the problem is because I've seen so many of them, like I said, I'm not sure what will make PUBG stand out once the other franchises introduce this style of game mode.

With the roll out of 1st person perspective I've been watching a lot of the more popular streamers/pro-players test it out. The feedback they're providing the community and that is echoed in the chats is that first person is better, it's more hardcore, and should be used for competitive play. The idea is that third person is for "casual" play and not how the game should be played at a high level.

As I've watched these streamers play in first person I'm not seeing anything that really sets Battlegrounds apart from any of the other FPS offerings out there. They're effectively playing COD, Battlefield, or Counter-Strike with a unique circle mechanic and random loot. The thing that initially brought me to Battlegrounds is that the third person perspective creates a slower paced, more methodical approach to the game. It becomes more about positioning, cover, and observation that it is about running and gunning and being the quickest aim in the game.

Am I missing something? When I've asked what sets the game apart in this mode I've simply been told "it's way different" or "it's more hardcore" because you can't hide in a building and peek outside and around corners.

What are your thoughts?

Same here. He seems to have the best grasp on how things need to be approached as well as tending to fall into the leadership role. More Jeff action.

I demand that people call me "sir". I didn't work my way up to assistant manager of the Southeast region's second highest earning Pizza Hut franchise by letting fuckers walk all over me. When they've reached the level of respect and success that I have they'll understand. You address doctor's at "Dr" right? Know your place and know when respect is due.

There will be no games. All will be conscripted into the various army's during the global "water war" as the great extinction begins.

Things like that are why I like Bombcast. I don't play fighting games, don't follow the scene, don't know the players. I just enjoy getting that glimpse into things, a different perspective and so on.

I typically only listen to Bombcast. I enjoy the more serious discussion and less "wacky banter" during my commutes.
