What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya

S686: When it comes to shotguns, there's no doubt that the S686 is the king regarding its damage. Its double-barrel can bog down players during reloading times, which makes them sitting ducks. However, one well-placed shot with both barrels on a single opponent will quickly reduce them into oatmeal. It's not recommended taking on more than one opponent with this shotgun, however. Switching to a sidearm during combat can buy players enough time to escape to behind cover and safely reload the shotgun. If players are hankering for a shotgun with a better fire rate, then perhaps the S12K is what they n

The landscape and squad-based combat of Ring of Elysium reminds us all too much of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. One might wonder why they would play Ring of Elysium when they could just as easily play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Well, the former allows players to swim underwater past coral reefs and aquatic structures. Also, with a grappling hook and other cool features, the gameplay of Ring of Elysium does more than enough to distinguish its

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 PU

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch

Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common Ai In gaming most ar
