PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Shows Off FOV For 1st-Person Mode

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds released on Steam in March as an early access game. Since then, it has received regular updates to include fixes, new weapons, new game modes, and new features. One thing many players were not expecting to see while the game was in early access was microtransactions, as the game's FAQ had said there would be microtransactions "only after Early Access." The new crate and key system was announced July 25 in connection to a tournament the game will hosting at gamescom in late Aug


While fans may have been expecting microtransactions to come only after the complete release of the game because of Battlegrounds' FAQ, its early inclusion should not harm the game. Since the system is optional and cosmetic, players who opt in and opt out will remain on an even footing, and gamers looking to spice up their look have an opportunity to do so earlier than they might have otherwise. Of course, players won't see their own cosmetics too much if they jump in the upcoming first-person only serve


Bluehole Studio went on to say that while weekly patches for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds may be nixed from here on out, the developer will use the additional time to test for "significantly" longer periods. By doing so, it hopes to produce even more polished patches and updates so as to give the battle royale's user base the best experience possible with each refinement or tweak being m


Team-killing is frowned upon in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , so when Dr DisRespect killed a teammate in order to have a spot on a vehicle, it was met with a swift, PUBG Tips but temporary, ban. Dr DisRespect, who seems to be playing a character as opposed to being his genuine self, decided to complain about his ban to Greene on Twit


While we'll have to wait and see how PlayerUnknown addresses the issues of inaccurate aim and seeing over obstacles, Battlegrounds players should at least be able to vault over obstacles more easily s

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has built up a massive following in the PC gaming community, with enough players on Steam to go toe to toe with Grand Theft Auto V and challenge even Valve's own games. All this while the game is still in development. One update coming to the game soon is expected to offer a new way of playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds by letting gamers dive into first-person only servers, and the official PlayerUnknown Twitter just showed off how an important first-person setting lo


This tool isn't all Battlegrounds needs to work well as a first-person shooter, though. Players have noted some scaling issues that aren't apparent in third-person but stand out in first-person. For instance, windows and some vehicles can be too high for a standing player to see through or over while in first-person, while being a good height for the third-person camera. Sometimes shots in first-person hit walls when players aim just above those walls. For the first-person mode in Battlegrounds to work, these bugs will need addressing alongside the addition of the FOV slider, and it's not clear from PlayerUnknown's Tweet what steps have been taken for these fi


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has quickly become one of the most popular early access games on Steam, and as such, has attracted the attention of many of the biggest Twitch streamers. One popular Twitch streamer, Dr DisRespect, was recently banned from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for killing a teammate, leading to an online argument between himself and the game's creator, Brandon Gre


Following the most recent update in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to add 4-person squad gameplay in the battle royale's first-person servers , Bluehole Studio has now officially announced the decision to abandon the weekly and monthly patch schedule for the game it had once set in place. The reason for doing so comes down to concerns of opening up more space for the developer to maintain a "high standard of quali


Currently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a third-person shooter that forces players to fight to the death on an island, and it's incredibly popular as is . The third-person camera allows players to scope out targets over walls and around corners, giving them a strategic advantage. A first-person camera will make spotting enemies in the game more difficult and riskier, as players will have to peek out from behind cover to do so. The upcoming change ups the stakes for intel gathering. While Battlegrounds currently allows players to toggle a first-person view, it lacks some of the polish and tools FPS gamers are used to. One tool that's been missing was a field-of-view slider, making players' views narrow. In its next update, Battlegrounds will be getting first-person only servers, and with them a FOV slider. PlayerUnkown shared how that will affect players' views in a Tw


Responding to the fan backlash, Greene said in his announcement, "While our intention was and still is to add the full feature to the game when we move into actual release, we do need to test it prior to launch and at Early Access so that it is stable and ready to be fully introduced to our community." He also stressed that the microtransactions were "purely optional," so players who aren't interested in spending more money on the game don't have
