In 2012, a modder by the name of Dean Hall released a mod for ARMA 2 called "DayZ." Its extreme survival focus being the result of Hall’s desire to create an experience that would cause its players to seriously consider their surroundings and survival needs, rather than just blindly reacting. As it turned out, many gamers out there were hungry for this new kind of gaming experience, and DayZ released to massive praise and popularity. So like ARMA 2 before it, DayZ also attracted a healthy modding community, and it wasn’t long before some members of that community starting trying to adapt the game’s survival elements for pvp-focused experiences. It wasn’t until a year later though, in 2013, that PlayerUnknown would make his debut and deliver one of the most influential DayZ mods to date, "PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale."

Bluehole Studios showed off vaulting and climbing at E3 this year, but the feature didn't make it into the delayed July patch. The game desperately needs this feature, and the sooner it makes its way into Early Access, the better it should be when the game gets its full rele

When a safe distance from any of the popular landmarks or the plane's path players will find a low populated, if not empty, landmark to loot at their leisure. This can allow players to collect a powerful arsenal of weapons and gear and steer them on the right path of survi

For one, PC gamers are likely used to seeing clearly defined options when it comes to anti-aliasing, so PUBG's "Low" and "Ultra" won't help a gamer know if their running MSAAx2 or TXAAx4. Since there are pros and cons to each anti-aliasing type, it would be helpful for PUBG to let players know which was being selec

**PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** quickly changed the game industry substantially after releasing in early access in March 2017. It took all the learnings (and namesake) of Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene's previous works - where he crafted battle royale modes within ARMA 2's DayZ mod and consulted on Sony Online Entertainment's H1Z1 - and brought forth the large-scale and gritty battle royale experience together with Korean developer Bluehole, Inc. for which Greene serves as Creative Direc

Gamers who are serious about shooters waited a long time for a dedicated first-person mode in PUBG , but so far it only supports solo and www.pubgmcentral.xyz duo play, and it lacks polish. An FOV slider was added , but indoor environments can still feel claustrophobic, since players have to go right up next to doors to open t

The world can seem impossibly big, but it really isn't; it's delicate and can be horribly damaged by mankind's interference . In fact, such a situation is playing out right now in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Large swaths of lush greenery are being burned down by corporations, and the government of Brazil is doing nothing to stop it, going so far as to blame environmental NGO groups for the fires, creating a completely nonsensical conspiracy theory . The Amazon rainforest does a tremendous amount of work in balancing out the planet's natural carbon footprint, but burning down countless miles of said jungle will only accelerate the rate of man-made climate change, to say nothing of the cultural disaster that comes from destroying a sizeable portion of any ecosystem and every living creature in

After the mod transitioned to ARMA 3 and took-off in earnest, Daybreak Game Company (formerly Sony Online Entertainment) took notice and started development of a battle royale mode for their then upcoming game "Just Survive" (formerly "H1Z1"). In relatively short order, the developer invited Greene to their studio to ask if they could use his mode in the game. Greene agreed and they wound up bringing him onboard the project as a consultant. Just Survive’s battle royale mode would come to be known as "H1Z1: King of the Kill" and helped popularize the fledgling game genre even further.

On this project, actors and activists Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox are the tip of the public relations spear. The #Fight4TheAmazon campaign represents a perfect cross-section of Hollywood glitz, video game action, and a righteous cause. The best way to donate is through an Omaze sweepstakes that allows participants to enter to win a Tesla Model S and a $20,000 cash pri

Known as **PUBG ** for short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a massive PvP competitive shooter that can be played solo, with a friend, or with a squad of four, in first-person and third-person. The goal is to jump from a plane and land somewhere on one of the game's maps, gather weapons and gear, and survive until the end as the playable map area continuously shrinks. It's the go-to formula that every major shooter brand is looking into and its mainstream success started with PUBG - of which Fortnite admittedly copied and made even more popu

However, that's also precisely why Firestorm doesn't climb higher on the list. While it fits into the Battlefield series perfectly, it fails to really push the envelope in terms of gameplay. There's not a whole lot Firestorm does that other battle royale games aren't doing, outside of providing much more fulfilling vehicular gameplay than most of t
