Ranked: The 5 Best Battle Royale Games (& 5 Worst)

R45 was a pretty popular handgun back when it was released, but after the arrival of Desert Eagle, it has completely been forgotten. Its kill power pales whenever compared to Desert Eagle or classic R1895, and its magazine size or handling is nothing to brag about either. It’s hardly used nowadays and isn’t viable at all, especially in a competitive mode. R45 best fits as a makeshift weapon before a player find any primary weap

Bethesda has released a statement saying that "There have been cases where players have used third-party software to take advantage of an exploit usually in excess of hundreds of times." However, Burkett maintains that his communication with the company surrounding his specific circumstances is limited at best and his ban is still in pl

Fortnite on the other hand reeks of personality, so much so that they were even able to thread a story through all of it's themes. Despite not having reality breaking graphics, it's still just such a fun game to look at and play, and that's a testament to the st

Often gaming bans are justified. We can get behind the bans for smurfing , piggy-backing and outright cheating . However, some of these gaming sanctions are downright crazy. From punishments related to political views to banning entire games in a country, here are 5 of the most bogus game bans we've s

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is far from the first Battle Royale game to exist, its early access release on PC during the first quarter of 2017 unquestionably kick-started a resurgence of the genre. Ever since then, myriad developers have been keen to introduce a bunch of different takes on this type of survival and last-man-standing gameplay. For example, Activision and Treyarch brought Blackout to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Red Dead Online introduced its own unique Battle Royale game mode called "Make It Count", and of course, Epic Games found massive success in turning Fortnite 's Battle Royale into a free-to-play phenomenon. Now, with PUBG 's arrival on PlayStation 4 having occurred nearly two years after its introduction to the masses, it begs the question of whether or not the game is actually a necessity for Project windless Battle Royale fans on PS4, or a perfunctory shooter that made its leap onto the Sony console far too l

While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build

The vehicles in PUBG are as essential to the game as players running through the fields swinging frying pans and getting sniped by Shroud. Let's see what we have here -- Minivans full of squads slamming into buildings and going up in flames, motorcyclists flipping through the skies only to get their best friend killed as they run into a tree -- ah, the list goes on. It's all so much good fun, and while Fortnite does have some great vehicles as of today, they're mostly meant for playing around with. They just aren't the craziness that can be found with the vehicles in P

It's just you, a straightforward perspective and absolutely no cheese at all. It makes sound much more important too, as now with your reduced perspective you have to rely on all of your senses. Another caveat is you pay a lot more attention to the detail and the graphics of the g

When it comes to the technical aspects of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4, those looking for an experience rich in graphical and sonic fidelity will walk away sorely disappointed. It must be noted, though, that unlike the way in which the title released through Xbox Game Preview about a year ago, PUBG on PS4 is at the very least stable, despite the sporadic environment bugs and avatar errors that can generate weird, but brief glitches. Plus, it manages to run at a decent frame rate for the most part, save for some isolated instances of stuttering and slowdown when certain areas are highly populated with players at the beginning of a ma

Assault rifles sort of fill this weird limbo within PUBG. They aren't exactly good for long-range fights like sniper rifles are, but they also aren't better than other weapons for close-range combat. So what do we make of these weapons? If they aren't designed for long or close-range combat what is their purpose? And the answer is that they aren't meant to fill both and some middle gro

To the best of our knowledge, these bans remain in place, with some players reportedly being arrested for playing the game shortly after the ban went into effect. Since then further developments have included Bhutan also making moves to ban PUclass=
