EA needed to have a good year after the savage mauling it received at the hands of fans in 2017. Games such as Star Wars: Battlefront II had been at the front of the video game loot boxes debate, which saw publishers such as EA come under fire for bad business models and potentially even using mechanics akin to gambling in their games. In the end, EA promised to do better with its future releases, and as such would come under a lot of scrut

PUBG is not the first battle royale in the existence of this overblown, saturated genre. But it was without a doubt one of the first to popularize it and shape it into what it is today. Many of the devs for PUBG even worked on the H1Z1 Survival Mode, the game mode that quite literally made the blueprint for modern battle royale. __ So in many rights it's hard not to see that Fortnite rode the coattails of PUBG, adding a handful of different elements to perfect the game. Still, I've put way more hours into PUBG, but when it comes to the better overall game... you'll just have to decide that for yours

Dinoland is more about style than substance, and while players who have an affinity for SMGs and educationally-backed shootouts will enjoy it, those looking to start the game off a little better prepared should think about going elsewhere. However, Dinoland does provide a great location to start off in, as it's not only adjacent to multiple main roads but also Vikendi's new rail system, ensuring lots of options for on-foot and vehicle movement after the inevitable post-landing shoot

The loot at Cosmodrome is equally impressive, not just with weapons and ammo but with high quality accessories as well. Players will want to be on the lookout for teams hiding in or emerging from the underground tunnels, and keep an ear out for player footsteps coming from either above or below is key to surviving shootouts in this Cold War-era missile b

S12K: Vikendi is riddled with towns and other urban dwellings, which is a natural environment to pull out any shotgun including the S12K. This shotgun is death incarnate in the hands of players that are stuck in any kind of intimate skirmish. It has a unique rate-of-fire which enables players to "blast away" at a blazing speed. With an extended magazine, a player can tear down an entire squad within seconds. However, it's not recommended for open areas, as its range simply won't do any adequate dam

Level three vests and backpacks regularly spawn in the Abbey, and the amount of assault rifles and ammo located with its religious halls means that any squad who gets there first usually has a good chance of keeping it properly defended. The Abbey is a great place to visit, but if players are looking to take part in what could possibly be PUBG's single biggest building shoot-out ever, they should look instead to the Cosmodr

SKS: This sniper rifle is probably the least popular of the bunch, but it does have a really good range (if players manage to find a good scope). However, the slow rate-of-fire and low damage reduce this rifle to be nothing, but a default sniper rifle. It's good to have if players are in need of a long-range rifle, but there are better alternatives for s

Another SMG making the list, Micro Uzi has been the star of the competitive show in recent times. When it comes to close-combat, Micro Uzi can decimate every other assault rifle AI in gaming the game. The only downside of the gun is the lack of range and that players need to connect their bullets for better damage as Micro Uzi’s spray is very quick and rapid. The gun is easily available throughout a game, making it a very popular choice amongst high elo play

We didn't even get this as much as we wanted in the last entry, but Fortnite is fast. Good luck trying to get your dad into the game because if you're not on your P's and Q's you're going to get pwned by some 8-year-old wearing a snap-back sideways within minutes of dropping off the battle bus. PUBG however, is more in line with the game play of a classic shooter. It's slow, almost empty at times and getting kills in it usually requires a much more patient, methodical approach. Sure the best players can run-n-gun like it's nobodies business, but if you play the game slow you have a good chance of making it

There isn’t one particular weapon that rules the game, and a lot depends on the player’s playstyle. However, it becomes very apparent, very fast, that there are high tier and low tier weapons in PUBG , and even though every weapon is competent in wiping out enemies, some produce better results than others. Here is a list of the best weapons in the game as well as duds that should be avoi

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

M416: Even though not the most ideal with range, the M416 is a solid assault rifle to have on player's backs. It provides enough damage to chip away your opponent's health bar at a brisk pace. The recoil isn't too bad and it's easy to handle. It holds a good amount of ammo in its magazine and it can be a standard choice for any given situat
