The map selector is about to become more essential than ever since PUBG's third map, Codename: Savage , has already become playable on the new test client on Steam. We tried it out when it first released and while we enjoy the idea of a faster-paced option on a map that's one-quarter the sized of the other two, the mid-game is still slow and the map looked incredibly ugly and unfinished. PUBG Corp rushed it out to get early feedback and to have something to show for themselves other than weapon skin loot bo
Not all content will be entirely new; much of what's planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi
Valve is no stranger to fallout, such as ongoing complaints over Steam's quality control, the paid mods controversy or the reaction of fans to new game Artifact , but this number of issues relating to one of its most popular franchises in such a short amount of time will no doubt require action. If Valve is serious about getting back into game development , then it will also want to make sure that it does so in a timely man
That's not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven't confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for
Just several days ago, the Xbox One version of PUBG Corp. and Bluehole Studio's battle royale title PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds managed to surpass 5 million players on the Microsoft platform, proving that the game's popularity continues to grow on the console. Now, in order to keep Pubg Collectibles running smoothly on the system, the development team behind the title has released a new patch for the Xbox One that brings about inventory layout changes, frame-rate optimization, and m
There's no doubt that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one of the most well-known games on the market today, as its introduction to the masses rejuvenated an interest in the battle royale genre as a whole, which gave rise to other famous competitors such as Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale . With so many folks still vying for yet another Chicken Dinner in PUBG , it's great to see that the developers remain dedicated in making the game run as smoothly as possible with updates like Patch
The use of item trading in CS:GO has always been something of a shady ground for Valve, and sometimes the grey areas of how it functions have been manipulated and taken advantage of by prominent CS:GO players and YouTubers. As such, it was only a matter of time before Valve acted on the matter, particularly given CS:GO 's place in the larger discussion around how deep loot box problems go in the industry, but the company may have wanted to act a little quicker, and perhaps in a way that didn't cause such a backlash from play
Nonetheless, this latest iteration of Counter-Strike has not been without its issues over the years, and one noticeable problem is the use of item trading. Trading in CS: GO is effectively a mini-economy in its own right, with some players cashing in on earned skins for big payoffs, while there are ongoing concerns over the use of skins as a virtual currency for online gambling. Eventually, Valve decided enough was enough and has implemented changes, with a recently-traded item now stuck in a seven day cool down before it can be moved on ag
A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti
Nevertheless, PUBG players now have a document with which to hold PUBG Corp. accountable and PUBG Corp. has made public their plans to keep fans happy. And that kind of transparency in development is exactly what fans have wanted for a long time now from PlayerUnknown's Battlegroun
This, however, has led to some major complaints from some members of the CS:GO community. As a matter of fact, a change.org petition has even started up, and in a very short amount of time has managed to accumulate 120,000 signatures from Counter-Strike players who want to see Valve revert back to the old way that trading worked in the shooter. " This update not only kills trading in a sense, but also will kill our beloved CS:GO if it remains effective, " states the petit
