Some of the PUBG team recently took a trip to South East Asia in order to draw inspiration from its unique geography. One location in particular, the Phraya Nakhon cave near Bankok, Thailand, will be serving as the primary inspiration for the cave system being implemented into the map. As seen in the image above, the cave looks like a giant hole in the gro

The use of item trading in CS:GO has always been something of a shady ground for Valve, and sometimes the grey areas of how it functions have been manipulated and taken advantage of by prominent CS:GO players and YouTubers. As such, it was only a matter of time before Valve acted on the matter, particularly given CS:GO 's place in the larger discussion around how deep loot box problems go in the industry, but the company may have wanted to act a little quicker, and perhaps in a way that didn't cause such a backlash from play

Earlier this week, the developer finally gave players on the game's test servers the ability to choose their own maps . PUBG Corp plans to implement this change in the main game soon, and it's not the only addition the game's maps will be seeing this y

Valve is no stranger to fallout, such as ongoing complaints over Steam's quality control, the paid mods controversy or the reaction of fans to new game Artifact , but this number of issues relating to one of its most popular franchises in such a short amount of time will no doubt require action. If Valve is serious about getting back into game development , then it will also want to make sure that it does so in a timely man

It will be interesting to see how PUBG will develop in response to the Savage map. _PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ gameplay has always been a mixture of patience with bursts of frenzied combat, so a map that forces players into tighter areas and forces more combat could mark a gameplay shift in future upda

PUBG Corp further illustrated their plans for the cave by sharing some concept art along with a diagram which outlines its key geographic features and exit routes. The developer didn't give a specific release date for this addition, saying only that it could show up sometime within "the next couple of testing cycl

A lot of the other tweaks that come in Patch 11 for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Xbox One are intended to make the game play more efficiently, such as the improvements to the responsiveness of weapon slots and attachments. For instance, players are now able to quickly scroll through it using the LT/RT buttons. The rest of the changes are primarily focused on performance and optimization refinements, including updates to some textures. Interested parties can find the notes for Patch 11 in full at the end of the arti

Unfortunately for Valve, this wasn't the only problem with CS:GO that reared its head recently. Counter-Strike eSports commentator Matthew 'Sadokist' Trivett used a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , before going on to suggest that CS:GO community member Don Haci commit suicide. Although Trivett eventually apologised for his actions via a Facebook post, he has nonetheless been suspended from Twitch and it remains to be seen if there will be further ramificati

Greene continued to state that although the red zone serves a purpose, the decision on whether or not to remove it from the game – as with all other in-game features – will ultimately come down to the collaborative efforts between the community and the development t

Like many other early access titles, Bluehole did an admirable job of keeping fans informed on the short and long-term plans of PUBG walkthrough. From weekly patches to minor overhauls and brand-new features, Bluehole embraced their ever-growing fanbase through teases on social media and trailers at E3 to showcase the imminent future of the best-seller. This continued until PUBG 1.0 launched in December, and ever since the developer and its community representatives have kept relatively quiet, leaving many fans in a period of confusion and growing disinterest in regards to the game’s future. While this likely isn’t the only reason for the game’s recent droppage, Bluehole should resume their initiative to keep fans informed on what lies on the horizon now that PUBG has officially released, including not only the rumored PS4 release, but the core game’s new features, weapons, maps, improvements and more. Fortunately, PUBG Corp community manager Sammie Kang addressed an upcoming roadmap for PUBG in early 2018 on Twitter, meaning this key step towards repairing the developer’s relation with its fans could be arriving in the near future.

That's not the only good news because according to a tweet by Skin-Tracker, data mining for the new update reveals that new weapon attachments are incoming. New 3x and 6x scopes will be coming, in addition to a Duckbill attachment for shotguns which will increase their horizontal spread. That said, since the developers themselves haven't confirmed these new additions, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt for
