Cloud9 Interview: Karnage, Cotto, Rolex, and Ian Huston

PUBG may be having a rough time keeping up with its leading competitors, but it still sticks out as one of the first games to successfully stand alone on the merit of its battle royale format. A great deal of the genre's popularity and success can be traced back to

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

ump-ump9-gun-pubg-fortnite-game-ammunition-weapon-battle-thumbnail.jpgOne of the biggest drawbacks of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 comes from its lack of polish, as it's almost a given that one will come across texture and detail pop-ins every time they decide to play a round. On top of this, there are some janky animations that can't be ignored, as well as other frequent object rendering issues. What's more is that the bland aesthetics and environments in PUBG leave a lot to be desired, with virtually every area on the game's available maps being nearly indistinguishable from one another, especially on the desert map Miram

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

In addition to its hero-shooter elements, Apex brought a lot of new tricks that were quickly emulated by its competitors, namely Fortnite . If Fortnite has seen fit to take notes, well, it should be clear that Apex is doing it ri

In a marketplace crowded with Battle Royale titles , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 manages to deliver a fine, albeit flawed rendition on the genre, which is somewhat of a shame considering the lengthy amount of time it took for PUBG Corp. to finish and release it on the console. After all, with the game having been available for quite a while on Android, iOS, PC, and Xbox One prior to being obtainable on PlayStation 4, one would think that a lot of the lessons learned from those versions would have been applied to the PS4 iteration to eliminate any lingering issues in the p

In response to the uncertain state of PUBG , fans of other multiplayer-focused titles have urged developers to region-lock Chinese players. Most notably, battle royale fans currently enjoying EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends are adamant about curtailing the flow of hack

There’s a misconception about professional video game competitors, that they don’t work hard like other athletes, that playing video games isn’t comparable to traditional sports like baseball and basketball. Do you think that unjust perception will change? E-Sports on ESPN was a big step, I think, but what do you think is the next step in E Sports’ march towards the mainstr

After taking part in the PUBG Mobile Star Challenge tournament, we asked members of the team about their careers as esports competitors, about the history and evolution of esports as a professional institution, and their personal responsibilities as ambassadors of gaming to the wide world of spo

Karnage: My mission statement is to bring as many gamers together as possible to generate a huge esports scene for the PUBG Mobile community. I plan to do that by being active in the community, friendly, and help out with staffing events and such. A mission statement being part of Cloud9 would be to give it my all and represent the org in the most professional way I can. Building chemistry with my teammates, and practicing on a daily basis to ensure my skill is up to

Not to mention, controlling the third-person camera tends to be a nuisance. This is chiefly true when players enter into a small, cramped building, Www.Pubgmcentral.xyz as the perspective often cannot find a happy medium between being too close and too far away. One rarely gets a good handle on their surroundings in tight locations, leaving them open to unforeseen atta

As with all games, this downward trend in player count likely has a considerable amount to do with the game’s age. Few titles can boast the continued popularity of software like CS:GO or Team Fortress 2 , and, according to Steam Charts , this update did virtually nothing to draw players back to the game. While its status as a willing victim of player mal-intent couldn’t have helped, it’s likely that PUBG is succumbing to simple entr

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
