I highly doubt the textures in the standard XBO build are going to stay the same for very long, I'd be honestly shocked if they didn't upgrade them to closer to what Xbox One X has and then Xbox One X is getting an enhanced set of textures later on down the road.

Sure, should be the goal and that is stops crashing when you drive a car.
Seriously, they should make a public announcement that everyone with a normal Xbox One stops driving, cause at the moment it crashes every second time, had so many teammates this evening where it crashed and crashed and crashed, doesn't happen with the X, but I'ts annoying cause it happen to your teammates.

Do NOT listen to these people saying to get the X. Get the S and save yourself $300 dollars and then in 2 years when next gen arrives, you can judge what you want to do from there.

Completely disagree. Buying the S now is buying a noticeably inferior version. It's something the majority of people will end regretting IMO.

Had some fun games today, but the vehicle thing is getting a bit stupid. The game is amazingly intense and tactical for about 90% of the round, and then in the last 10% it devolves into a circle pit of cars and motorbikes and a giant game of chicken. It really goes against the entire feeling of the game in my opinion. Put me down in the negative camp for the vehicle "meta".

Right there with you. 2nd to last circle should disable cars. It's rather stupid everyone just driving in circles.. curious if this was ever a problem on PC and if so, how was it stopped.

It was never an issue on the PC apparently because it's easier to shoot the driver or the tires due to the aiming with KB/M being better.

I would imagine that as they improve the controls and people get better with aiming the vehicle meta-game that is currently rife on the console version will diminish.

I waited until Monday to open loot crates again, guys.

...

I got two low texture pairs of pants again. One of them of them was a dupe. I got duped. Fuck the shit-awful rewards of this game. Fuck loot boxes.

Oh, and I made it to #2 for the first time in solo. Woohoo! First fuckin' loser. Highest I've made before in solo is #3. I got like five kills too. It felt pretty good.

But seriously though, fuck this game's reward system. It's trash. It's fucking trash!

It will be leveled out as people get better and have counters. Shooting out the tires puts a damper on things and if they still try to drive with blown tire(s) it is slower and harder to control allowing you to shoot the driver. Like any shooters there will always be tactics to counter, seems for this game will be two fold people getting better and performance of the actual game to allow more precise shooting.

Has there been any word on the next patch? I have had a few Game Preview games and some of them had weekly or bi-weekly updates, just curious of the devs have announced anything as of yet?

Eyes on these changes from me:

  • First pass visual and performance improvements
  • Slightly improved anti-aliasing on Xbox One and Xbox One S

If the improvements are great enough then I'll purchase the game.

I would appreciate some honest feedback on framerate and performance after it goes live.

Something that I would like to see changed soon: Y-Axis inversion also applying to the cursor movement on the map screen. Makes it feel impossible to use the map at all. This is probably the anger and confusion normal human beings feel when trying to play a game with an inverted camera, haha.

Love using the bombing zones to mask the noise I'd make storming a house. Managed to kill a duo who didn't even have a clue I opened the front door and sprinted towards their room.

The sniper you get from the supply drop is glorious.

Also...3000 to change my characters face? Get real. Lol.

M24. Still haven't tried the AWM yet but YouTube makes it look beast. Really starting to get a hang of the zero-ing. Just keep forgetting hold breath is left bumper which is the weirdest button to hold breath.

They're both beastly but I do kinda prefer the SKS or Mini14 simply for the semi-auto capability

where did you get that ghillie suit?

From a crate drop. I landed in Pochinki (spelling?) and got an AKM and M16, then hit the water in a boat because the circle was about half water. Sure enough, the plane dropped a crate in the bay and I was the first (and only) one to go for it. Got the AWM and the ghillie suit.

Edit - Saw the complaints earlier, but vehicles at the end don't bother me so much. Stick close to a tree or rock and spray the driver's side. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/AntiMacro/video/41124119

yeah, people have to learn to stick to a tree when a vehicle is around. Additionally vehicles explode fairly quickly if you keep shooting at them. Still it can be frustrating sometimes.


But man this game. The stories it creates are just so fucking addicting.

the fact they are calling it "first pass visual and performance improvements" doesn't fill me with confidence. I hope its pretty significent though
