Not all content will be entirely new; much of what's planned for 2018 will be reworked content currently in the game, some of which has been long-requested by the PUBG player base. Of special interest are reworked parachuting and unarmed melee combat systems, both of which have been heavily criticized. Even larger is an overhaul of the entire Third Person and First Person mode animation system to increase smoothness and reactiveness, including new animations for switching car seats or entering a vehi

One thing players are always doing in PUBG is looting, and PUBG Mobile makes the process much smoother by, once again, streamlining it. PUBG Mobile has an automatic looting feature that will instantly pick up any upgrades in the nearby area, assuming players are close enough to them. This means that players with a level 1 backpack will automatically pick up a level 2 backpack, or swap out their weaker helmet for a stronger

Besides automatically looting and equipping upgrades, PUBG Mobile improves the looting process in another key way. Whenever a player is killed in PUBG , their body disappears and is replaced by a brown box that holds all their gear. Thanks to the game's color scheme, it can sometimes be very difficult to find these boxes, but PUBG Mobile makes it easier by marking them with glowing green lig

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 battle royale formula was not entirely the brainchild of the PUBG Corporation - PUBG itself certainly derived content from pre-existing games - but since its success, there has been a trend of other developers copying the PUBG cheats model. The PUBG Corporation has been openly critical of titles like Fortnite in the past for seeming to be copying their formula, but the company has never fought so strongly against another title as they are now with this lawsuit against NetE

This, however, has led to some major complaints from some members of the CS:GO community. As a matter of fact, a change.org petition has even started up, and in a very short amount of time has managed to accumulate 120,000 signatures from Counter-Strike players who want to see Valve revert back to the old way that trading worked in the shooter. " This update not only kills trading in a sense, but also will kill our beloved CS:GO if it remains effective, " states the petit

Between this and the armored UAZ vehicle that's also been announced, it looks like players of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have plenty to look forward to over the coming months. Exciting though they may be, they will take time to implement; time PUBG really doesn't need to lose to its biggest competitor, Fortnite . Still, changes and additions like this will go a long way towards keeping PUBG relevant and further defining its distinct take on the genre it launched into gaming's mainstream consciousn

Nonetheless, this latest iteration of Counter-Strike has not been without its issues over the years, and one noticeable problem is the use of item trading. Trading in CS: GO is effectively a mini-economy in its own right, with some players cashing in on earned skins for big payoffs, while there are ongoing concerns over the use of skins as a virtual currency for online gambling. Eventually, Valve decided enough was enough and has implemented changes, with a recently-traded item now stuck in a seven day cool down before it can be moved on ag

The lawsuit is filled with side-by-side screenshots taken from PUBG, Rules of Survival, and Knives Out, demonstrating the remarkable similarity between the original game and the two copycat titles. While the lawsuit lists some 25 "copyrightable" aspects of PUBG , which range from players being forced to run to increasingly small circular areas on the map to having a pre-game lobby which allows players to run around and fire weap

Finally, PUBG Corp. dedicated itself to a routine schedule for major patches in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . From here on, major patches are planned to be released on a 2-month schedule, with the first such patch planned for March. Smaller patches and hotfixes will continue to be released as needed, especially as the Experimental Test Server grows in

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
