Cloud9 Interview: Karnage Cotto Rolex And Ian Huston
As his consultancy role with Daybreak Game Company was coming to a close in 2015, Greene was approached by Chang-han Kim of Bluehole. Kim offered Greene the opportunity to develop a new battle royale-style game. After meeting with Kim at the studio’s South Korean headquarters, Greene was brought on as a creative director. Development for PUBG officially began in early 2016, with game seeing an early-access release in March 2017.
The crossbow is very hard to rank amongst other weapons due to it being very different and unique. It is only the truly silent weapon, and it also packs an ability to one-shot any level Helmet in the game. However, its dreadful range and abysmal fire rate make it very less viable in an actual game. It is a niche weapon that can be used in case of urgency or if players are trying to have
The year of 2009 is shaping up to be one of the more important years of modern gaming. This was the year that saw the birth of many of the current giants of the industry. It was the year that saw the real beginning of the Assassin’s Creed series, the beta release of Mincraft, and was the year when Uncharted 2: Among Thieves released and blew away all expectations. It’s also the year that saw the release of ARMA 2, the game would come to serve as the spawning point for both PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (aka "PUBG") and the battle royale arena genre in general. Upon its release, ARMA 2 was received as a competent, though mostly unremarkable, tactical shooter. Still, it managed to gain a small, but healthy, following thanks to its wide variety of weapons and realistic ballistics. Left to its own devices, ARMA 2 would have faded into obscurity as its player slowly bled away but that’s not quite what happed. See, the game also happened to attract a strong modding community, one that would propel it back into the limelight three years later.
As it is, the third-person camera sits up and to the right of the player. This allows for easily checking around corners when they're on the players's right side. If a player tightens their aim, they can switch the camera over to their left shoulder to help peek around a left corner. Pressing Shift and Q or E will even let a player select the shoulder to look over first when focusing their
R45 was a pretty popular handgun back when it was released, but after the arrival of Desert Eagle, it has completely been forgotten. Its kill power pales whenever compared to Desert Eagle or classic R1895, and its magazine size or handling is nothing to brag about either. It’s hardly used nowadays and isn’t viable at all, especially in a competitive mode. R45 best fits as a makeshift weapon before a player find any primary weap
M416 is the only non-air-drop 5.56 weapon that is still in the high tier. Even though it has been nerfed multiple times in the past, the gun still is a solid option that is fit for every situation. It’s way more versatile than any other assault rifle in the same class, and overall, it has been an old faithful for most play
One big tip to pummel the enemies is to set the controls that suit your playstyle. Everyone can use the standard controls, that is what they are made for. But why do that? There is a vast list of options that players can tweak on the control settings scr
On consoles, there are different control types, on the PC, the keyboard can be remapped, and on the mobile version, players can add on-screen buttons. Custom controls will almost always help in favor of the pla
Despite being in early-access, PUBG is already an overwhelming success. It regularly dethrones League of Legends as the most streamed game on Twitch. It will be seeing a console release on the Xbox One by year’s end, and it seems to have cemented the battle royale arena as a fully-fledged genre in gaming. Major studios are already taking notice, with games like Grand Theft Auto Online and Fortnite adding battle royale game modes of their own. From starting as a mod-of-a-mod to serving as the basis for several major games, the journey this genre has undertaken thus far is already quite incredible. This is really just the beginning though! Who else out there is looking forward to seeing where these games go next?
It's not as big an issue that PUBG is currently lacking optimization, since it is in Early Access, but it's definitely something Bluehole Studios needs to tackle before releasing the finished game. Right now, even powerful metaverse gaming computers can struggle to offer consistently smooth gameplay. Frame rates dip frequently, and lowering settings in the graphics menu doesn't necessarily improve the frame rates by m
One thing that will almost always amplify the survival rate is being aware of the environments. A lot of players in PUBG run around randomly without understanding the situation and go down in a few quick shots, which is why it is essential to run from cover to co
Valve didn't have an easier time with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive either. CS:GO fight saw bad press after controversy over item-trading and racism from commentators , before Valve managed to annoy the game's community by making CS:GO free-to-play at the end of the year. Given that Steam is going to face some major competition going forwards, it's clear that major change is necessary after a tumultuous y
