The key to proper teamwork is learning and practising the ping system in a real battle, as it makes gameplay much more efficient and will lead to the fastest possible channel of information. Characters will call out enemies without the ping, but it busts open the limitations on unspoken informat

For the longest time, multiplayer gaming in India revolved around cyber cafes. A regular weekend plan (or weekday, Our Home Page if you decided not to attend class) would consist of you and your mates heading to the nearest LAN gaming parlor and spending the day playing Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, or whatever said parlor had installed. For most of the country, that was the extent of online gaming. There would be intermittent waves with games like League of Legends, but nothing took the mass population by storm quite like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, especially the mobile vers

PUBG had not only become India’s most popular game, but also became a reason for social gatherings. Instead of just hanging out and chatting at their usual spots, you’ll see kids and young adults specifically meeting to play PUBG Mobile. A cigarette or tea break from work usually included a round of the game. At a previous company, the entire design team would synchronize their breaks to dive into Erangel. The game even gave rise to a whole segment of streamers with millions of subscribers, something that was quite rare before PUBG took over the coun

Fall Guys takes this concept of an intriguing theme or gimmick and runs with it. While most games in the battle royale genre are shooters, Fall Guys is a battle royale that takes place in a Wipeout style obstacle course show, having players compete in various races as well as team-based mini-games. It's possible that because of this deviation from the typical battle royale recipe that Fall Guys has been able to dominate the topic of conversation since its launch earlier this mo

This progression can be crucial for engagement with a battle royale games' battle pass just as the progression of a meal can be incredibly important for how the diner enjoys their food. If Fortnite 's battle pass has 100 levels but all of the rewards promised from level 70 to 100 are lackluster, players may stop progressing with the game once they reach level 69. Similarly, serving dessert before appetizers could be confusing and might leave customers dissatisfied with how their meal conclu

"In light of recent developments, PUBG Corporation has made the decision to no longer authorize the PUBG MOBILE franchise to Tencent Games in India. Moving forward, PUBG Corporation will take on all publishing responsibilities within the country. As the company explores ways to provide its own PUBG experience for India in the near future, it is committed to doing so by sustaining a localized and healthy gameplay environment for its fans," said the blog post by PUBG C

It's fine when games aim for realism, but that should never come at the expense of having fun. As rational as the concept of fall damage is, it never translates to anything meaningful in a gaming experience. Even FromSoftware - the master of having your character die as a result of irritating fall damage - eventually saw the error of its ways and made Sekiro, a game where you jump around like a samurai sword-wielding Ma

While it doesn't sound like a big deal, with the gameplay flying at such a fast pace, every second counts, and having the gun prepared will allow the player to be ready to fire without ever touching the menu to equip the attachm

Other changes include the ability to remap keys to your controller and changes in bot ratios. Instead of quickly filling the match with bots, each session will now wait up to five minutes to try and fill to 100 players before making up any shortfall with b

That solution came in November, with the announcement of PUBG Mobile India, specifically crafted for the Indian market, much like China’s Game for Peace. "In-game content will be improved and tailored to reflect local needs. Various aspects of the game will be customised for Indian gamers, such as the game now being set in a virtual simulation training ground, new characters automatically starting clothed, and green hit effects to reflect the virtual nature of the game. More importantly, the company will include a feature that places restrictions on game time to promote healthy gameplay habits for younger players," said the announcement press rele

But it’s not just a social phenomenon. Video game branded clothing isn’t really that big in India, you'd only find it at select retailers or e-commerce sites. However, waves of knock-off PUBG branded apparel can be seen lining the street stores of fashion distri

Update 9.1 also adds the new map, Paramo, which features an active volcano and flowing lava across the landscape. It's also partly procedurally generated, so the new PUBG map feels different every time you play. However, because of the ever-shifting nature of the map, it's located in a separate matchmaking pool called Seasonal Match. Wins here will not count towards your sta
