Went live on Steam early access about an hour ago.

Any of you getting it? Look's like it has a positive future.

Their Website

Steam Early Access

They posted on Twitter saying if there is enough of a following in an area they will put up servers.
 
More shouting. Please fix your keyboard, after that go and read the MyBB rules for starting a thread. You joined in 2011 and should know better

Not sure what is wrong with my thread?...

And what if I told you that's the official name of the game (Yes, they put the name in all uppercase)
 
I picked this up instead of ME: Andromeda. Will give it a whirl over the weekend.
 
Been watching the pro's play this on twitch for the past month or so, looks entertaining if you into stuff like King of the Hill
 
Gave it a whirl last night, loving it so far.

I played a ton of Battle Royale mod for Arma 3, as well as Breaking Point which is very similar. This game is what Battle Royale should be like, it makes the culling and anything like that look very badly made. The games come thick and fast, to get into a game takes 2 minutes and your on your way to the ground. The game feels very finished with very little polish finished.

I love the way you can spectate your team mate and also the way you get knocked out instead of killed if your teamie is still alive. The guns also feel very well and the lag is not so much that you would complain about it. Only in point blank encounters will that be a bit of an issue, but that happens very rarely.

Overall, I like this game quite a bit :)

My DL just finished, will be checking it out later.

Good to know that's it like Battle Royale, used to love that. (Kind of obvious though because it's made by the same guy haha)
 
Let's get a thread going for this awesome game.
Share scores, matches, stories and Steam names to Duo or Squad up with other fellow South African Players!

I have only gotten to 4th on Solo, and not managed a Chicken Dinner yet!! Close though

Unlikely to get a server locally until we have AWS locally.

However, recent improvements have sped up things and a 5GB patch was just released. Was largely a content patch but also improved gameplay, especially on lower-spec machines.

I'm loving this game, play it daily (except for when I don't.)

Have had about 3 chicken dinners in squad, 1 2nd in duo. 3rd in solo I think.

Add me - urban_bunny

It is in early access and can only get better. So not sure why people buy early access games and then refund :) if it was for the game play then sure.

issue for me is the latency. it runs on AWS servers which are not in the country and may never come to the coutnry so latency will always be a problem. i dont speak for everyone but that is me. maybe if they sorted out the netcode a bit better. Overwatch and BF1 got this on point.

The Latency for me is not an issue at all. Would of course be better if there were local servers.
 
Yea the latency can at times be a factor but honestly, for the most part it isn't. This isn't CS where those fractions of a second make the world of difference. Often here, you've been shot or killed from an angle you weren't even covering. There are times where it's a straight up firefight and on those occasions the latency might be an issue. But overall it isn't as bad as people who aren't eating the chicken claim.
 
Any regular players on here? Me and a mate play duo's almost daily.

Blue line bangs us regularly and sometimes the loot just is not in our favour, but in all love the game.

If there are any other duo's or guys looking to fill a squad let me know. Steam ID: Slaught3rza or post yours and I will add you.
 
Great stuff. Will add you shortly. I'm on from about 4ish to 9-10. :)

Don't know if it is just me, but the lag was horrible last night. Struggled to walk into a door. :(
 
Played 16 matches so far. 1 Chicken Dinner and a couple of top 10's :D

The game isn't fun at all... until it is (So when you're not beheaded 10 seconds after landing)
