Nice, coming at the right time as things are getting stale, some new weapons would help too. What size map Vs the others?

I think its supposed to be 2 x 2 km, so very much smaller than the current maps.

Will need more than this to keep people entertained ! It’s already got super easy to win! All the pros have gone to escape from T ! I’m a pretty average player & have won loads of games the past month... more than I ever have... like all games they have there moments, I’ve bottled it & now spend my evenings grinding EFT ! Bloody hard but rewarding when you pull it off.

Unsubstantiated rumours going round on the tinternet that the new map may be replacing Vikendi. I can't see it myself, would be a massive shame.

Replace Sanhok pls

It's got harder in my opinion, with most players now long time veterans of the game, my average kill rate has taken a hit over the past year.
PUBG's golden era has definitely passed but I can't see myself replacing it anytime soon as nothing touches it.

That will require a player reduction from 100 then, 2x2 ok is tiny.

gliders on miramar and erangel live from tomorrow. glider info 10 randomly spawned at 40 set spawn locations (vs 10 at 10 of 10 set spawn locations).

also new map is a 2x2. arabian map destructable enviroment. going on test server soon.

wont replace vikendi makes no sense to do so. especially after they just redone the map.

I'm inclined to agree and I hope they don't replace it.

hawkinz said he will need new space on his wall. so it will be a addition not a replacement. probably just done it to try and catch some of the cod players to the game.who want more frequent action.

Maps should never be replaced, just added to. Let fans choose the maps.

I love PUGB even though I took a break from it but my only criticism has been the speed of new things - maps, features.

I'd love to play a 50v50 match or one of the zombie games but it always seems so hard! Am I missing a trick? Have they made this any easier?

Seems to have been datamined too, would have rather they removed Miramar for proper rework or Sanhok.

player ign has basically been spreading the rumour. really hope it isnt true as vikendi is my fav map. the others bore me now apart from sanhok and thats got so many cheaters on now it just not worth playing.

MarkA · 14 Jan 2020 at 15:25

Vikendi's off then I hear...

I hear new map is meant to be 2v2, but all land, so should feel similar to sanhok but slightly smaller I guess

quarter of the size.

MarkA · 14 Jan 2020 at 15:30

Technically, for the entire size of the map, if you count the grid lines.

But if you imagine a 2v2 with walls all around, you get a similar size to sanhok

~>Dg<~ · 14 Jan 2020 at 17:26

well i asked hawkinz if vikendi is being removed. here is his reply..

Captain · 14 Jan 2020 at 18:24

We don’t need yet another desert type map, that first screenshot could have been taken from Miramar and you wouldn’t know.

I'm on your side here DG, but that sounds ominous.

On the other hand, I kinda get it. You have to change to keep current and fresh and if that means binning off a map then so be it I guess...it'd be real sacrilege if they deleted Erangel, given that was the map that started it all and its a massive step to take, but we don't have full access to their roadmap so its hard to judge.

Maybe if they took off map selection it'd work....but then would you get people constantly leaving the lobby because they haven't got the map they wanted?

jasoncb · 14 Jan 2020 at 18:36

Yeah sounds like its gone, majority rules unfortunately.

Heh! I actually thought it was a hint at a Miramar remaster at first!
