Wins a win

It feels better, people are still doing the bunny hop shotgun for shooting but it feels like bullets are actually landing now.

I've got generally ruined in the test shooting mode. I'm not sure that my strategy is great, though. I normally drop into an area where I know I'll be utterly alone, collect all the stuff I need, and then head into the centre. The problem I think is that by the time I get there, all the good players are waiting for me.

I've been sniped quite a number of times

While I understand why you do that, I think it's ultimately counterproductive. You'll learn more by dropping tilted towers or at least somewhere half busy than you will in the middle of nowhere.

I think you're right. I just don't want to be killed as soon as I arrive!

I only tried this for a couple of small goes solo and it didn't really take, wasn't a fan of the graphical style - however me and a mate had a proper go yesterday for a few hours and i've got to admit my first first impression was wrong. It was a lot of fun, building is excellent, hit reg is pretty good and even managed a win.

Had a good few hours on this this afternoon, its pretty fun, i can see myself swapping between this and PUBG quite often just to keep things fresh

This game is screaming out for a practice area or offline + bots option. It's a laborious processing learning the mechanics and geography of the game whilst actually playing the game.

I agree, it would be easier, but the slow but sure progress leading to a steady standard of play is a victory in itself.

I expect they will either do as you say by introducing custom matches soon, or things may become slightly less laborious when they enable skill based matchmaking.

i agree - the building aspect is something that needs a practise area/session. Also the stupidity of launch pads when people come flying into buildings/towers and insta shotgun you to death is a bit ridiculous
