Karnage: When I prepare for a game, I like to get my gun skill ready as much as possible. The best way for me to do that is to enter an arcade war mode so I'm able to fire my gun as much as possible without the game ending. I also like to watch gameplay videos from previous PUBG tournaments I've played
Karnage: With PUBG PC/console you will run across a higher level of skill. With Mobile, it is more common to win a chicken dinner even if you’re not a pro player. In order to become a pro on PC it takes far more practice, higher-end equipment, and a good establishment in the pro community. I personally enjoy mobile more because I am able to play anytime, anywhere, just using my mobile ph
Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, are the two biggest battle royales to date. As of March 2019, the most recent data, Fortnite has a registered player count of 250 million users, blowing PUBG on PC's player count of 500,000 users out of the wa
There's always a rush in PUBG while landing somewhere, either near enemies or entirely isolated, and scrambling to find a weapon and ammunition for the potential immediate skirmish. When forced to move a great distance to reach the safe zone as the map shrinks, you'll never know if someone in the distance has spotted you until it's potentially too late. And if you're waiting or moving slowly and hear footsteps, there's a unique thrill that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers better than other battle royale experien
Ian Huston: With Cloud9 on the forefront of esports as an industry leader, I strive to use my association and platform with them to be the best ambassador that I can be. My main goals in doing this are looking to empower those around me with whom I work to be the best that they can be and to enlighten people who are not in esports as to what is truly happening as things move forw
Quite simply, Square Enix's conference was a waste of time for everyone involved, with really nothing new to say whatsoever. Games like Just Cause 4 and Kingdom Hearts 3 had bizarre reveals before Square Enix's presentation had even taken place, while those missing E3 2018 games were very obvious in their absence. Fans of the publisher felt deflated when all was said and done, wondering whether some of the biggest projects Square Enix had in the works were in trou
Fortnite on the other hand reeks of personality, so much so that they were even able to thread a story through all of it's themes. Despite not having reality breaking graphics, it's still just such a fun game to look at and play, and that's a testament to the st

We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar. The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required. We don't want to tell you too much as you will soon be able to experience it all yourself but we did write a few short descriptions of several of the key landmarks and towns. You can find them below, together with the new screensh

Being able to effectively switch between these two styles of play will make for an excellent PUBG player and truly separate a player from a novice one.
