Thanks I had to download another 7+ GBs to get online.
 
Had a couple of lucky top 10 finishes but mostly with lucky circles. I've not got a feel for the guns yet, can't hit anyone at even medium range, even when I get the drop on them and shoot first I still get killed.

Pretty much the same as me, getting owned consistently if I'm honest.
Managed one game with 5 kills and finished 2nd but 2 of those were with a buggy and a boat. Last night despite having lvl3 helmet and lvl2 armor I got 1 shot killed through the head with an SKS from someone I couldn't see and I didn't even hear the shot.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the game doesn't seem to lean towards a skill level and more towards total luck. I also think or feel there is some kind of cheating or modifying going on in some games though I can't prove or point to anything specific, its just that some of the shots seem to very very accurate or I die very quickly despite being armored up.

Still its very fun despite the above.

I'm fairly sure the AWM is the only gun that can one hit you in the head with a level 3 helmet. Was it full hP, were you full hp and was it a close up or far shot?
 
I'd say there is definitely a ton of skill involved in winning. I think in this game it feels like bad luck all the time, when really you're just rubbish. I want to say it's bad luck that I haven't won a game since the reset because that's what it feels like, but I know I'm just really bad at these type of games. My aim is above average and I generally win firefights because of my competitive fps history, but I struggle immensely spotting people.

I don't know if it's my eyesight (colourblindness etc) or what but I have a lot of trouble seeing people in realistic looking games. My friends will be spectating me while they're dead and spotting people on my screen while saying "he's right there, surely you can see him" but I just can't.

I think the fact that people like TSM Viss exist who has 400+ wins and gets top 10 every game shows there's more than just luck involved.
 
There's certainly a luck element. Luck of circles, luck of loot, luck someone doesn't see you, luck you don't shoot that bloody bar on the window, luck that your shots register. All except the last one can be overcome by skill.

Ah actually I think it may have an AWM to be honest. Yes was full on everything, I actually didnt see anybody during that round including the git that nailed me.
 
Balls all but one top 10s but I peaked too early with 7 kills in one match then only got one if I was lucky the rest.

Did deal 63 hit points to one squad no kills sadly :(. Resilient sods :D.

always so satisfying - pumped some dude who had a shotty with the revolver. in fairness I did get 1 sly shot into his back first.

not so satisfying, last 8 and geared to the hilt. randomly decided to watch through my 8x Silenced SKS 2 guys playing 'chase me, chase me' in a car and bike. decided I'd watch them long enough and went to run off. unscoped and there was a dude standing beside me with a vector pointed at my head. I was so engrossed in watching the 2 dummies I never even noticed him creeping up on me!!! I'm sure he thought I was afk!! needless to say a vector at 2 foot away ruins your day - decided it was probably time to call it a night at that point!!
 
Another 2-player Chicken Dinner, really had the luck of the circles this time, each time we ran to a new zone, it would put us right on the edge of the new zone :) 4 kills each. M4 with UMP/Vector is my favourite combo.

In another note, my 1 player stats are trully terrible since the stats refresh.. Played 4 games, zero damage done :D. Had 4x terrible starts in a row, then I went to bed.
 
My 1 player games are just pants at the moment as well, I've started just solo queuing in squad games now and i seem to do much better made it to 8th last night with a couple of kills and in the third to last circle was crazy.
