PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

it could be the best game all over the world but you dont want to fix it , keep working only for cheaters

Just rampant cheating.

Gun play feels good but its just unreal how every two seconds someones shooting through a wall trying to hit me.

Crazy how we went from so many good BRs to none in such a short amount of time.

Save your time and pick up wood working or something.

Amazing game, but also ridiculous. Played my first few games. Knocked a higher level player, rage reported and I'm banned for "cheating". Absurd. I've never cheated/hacked before, don't know how to. Have thousands of hours on console, no issue. Only been on pc a short time, only started PUBG this week, and this happens

is nach jahren immernoch nicht über einen beta status gekommen von der engine her... aber gibt halt keine gute alternative...

I need sanhok back, I need to play the old sanhok that i used to play back in the days, best map of the game.

I've been playing this game since 2018, and I really enjoyed it back then. But as time goes on, especially now, the game has just gotten worse — unstable, laggy, tons of input lag, filled with trash battle passes full of pinky stuff and it's getting more and more... gay. I’m probably uninstalling the game soon.

really bad game, mono sound you cant tell where you getting shot from. and really poor servers mostly bots are running.

Can't select map. Game is flooded with bots. Body armor and helmets are just for show, they don't reduce damage. Small caliber SMGs and HANDGUNS make more damage than bigger caliber assault rifles. "Skill based matchmaking" in this game is a joke. Game decides whenever you shot is a hit or not, also determines the damage. If you value your nervous system you'll simply not play this game.

After launching years ago, I continuously find hackers, aimbotters, wallers, and cheaters in almost every map i join. If you want yourself to be frustrated by continuous South East hackers and ruin your game, be my guest and play it. Loose your mind over every death you watch on your death cam, your attacker always look at your direction in close proximity. Sound sense is the worst, cant hear anything from enemy running to reload or whatever. I wont recommend playing this. Thoroughly frustrated by hackers.

After 3200 hours of ranked games and really trying to scale I decided that I will uninstall this game because its full of hackers and noone's doing anything about it...its sad bcuz its a nice game but not worth it! AVOID THIS GAME

This game has, from day one, had issues with cheaters and incredibly poor ping. They have made some progress with the cheaters, but since the start of its 8th anniversary rubbish earlier this year (2025), it has had atrocious ping for Australia. Playing with mates from Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria we are all experiencing anything from 120ms ping when we're stood still in the corner doing nothing to 350ms ping when we're in a gunfight (for reference, gunfights are sort of integral to the game and kinda need to be lossless).
Up until this point, the game has been generally playable and I would have recommended it as my go-to battle-royale, but since the start of this year, it has deteriorated to the point of unplayable and it needs to be fixed. Krafton claims to be "concerned" about the lack of players on the Oceanic server but continues to show complete and utter disdain for them.
Instead of giving me a new anime-type skin that costs $10-$20 real dollars, may I have some bug fixes related to connection and performance issues? Is it too much to ask that a game that relies on decent online interactivity could have decent connectivity services?
Just because a job is hard doesn't mean you have to do it badly, so please, if you actually give a damn about your players and want to keep them/grow them, fix the actual issues, I'm sure we can live with the next "Ponytail clipping through chevron" bug that comes up.

What a bloated rotting franchise this game has become.

Boring gameplay loop of walking and walking and walking and maybe you find someone to shoot, maybe a hacker finds you and you've got essentially no chance at all.

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over -Edna St. Vincent Millay

Considering its a free game, it out does most games you pay top dollar for. physics are incredible. worth the download 100% very fast paced.

Lets be real, the movement is hilariously horrible. The Audio is completely misleading and will have you spinning in circles. Not even worth buying the game at a discounted price. As of 2025, I would advise staying away from this game.

Full of cheater. Every session minimum 3-4 team using map, auto-aim, much life. Wait in zone 7-8 minutes. Much bag capacity more than 10 grenade etc. Reporting but nothing happening very seldom temporary for just 1 day! Almost never permanent ban. It was very good several years ago but now i dont advice to anybody play this game.

This game really shows its age. The QoL features that newer BR games have really spoiled me, because playing most of the new ones and coming back to this sours my experience. This entire game is plagued with clunky unresponsive jank that really cause issues with the core gameplay. Half of the "difficulty" is fighting against the game itself while trying to fight your opponents. The maps have the classic Battlefield game design of not knowing where your enemies are until you're up in their face (if you can get that close), and getting shot from who knows where and dying instantly - while it taking an entire clip or more to kill someone else. The loot distribution is awful and you'll rarely find what you're looking for (attachments, guns, meds, etc). You'll rely on luck in order to survive, more than most BR games (a lot more). This game was probably dope for the time, but did not age well. You're better off playing War Zone.

I bought this game when it first came out and grew to hate it because it was slow and painful to experience. I'm referring to the slow interactions with objects. Since revisiting the game recently, the interactions are silky smooth and so much content has been added to the game that I cannot stop playing! This was a title I would play one game of, quit, and never to be played again. It now has turned into some of the most epic moments to winning that chicken dinner for me and it keeps me engaged.

First game on die from 2 buildings away to "C4" absolutely broken. Still as trash as it was years ago

best game but need fixes like game performance, fps and all dsyncs lulw

Casual is broken because everyone bots, ranking is broken because everyone has a rank 10 times higher. Probably game is dead

Unplayable. Booted up after years and had to do the tutorial. Finished it and supposedly unlocked battle royale. Unfortunately, I still don't have the option to play the game. Only tutorials for me. I could spend time trying to figure it out, but honestly, why bother?

Always a great game to return to at the end of the day, never grows old... hate the cheaters and lag on bad servers though... but otherwise, still my favorite!

This game used to have potential in alpha; you could ignore the horrible first-person controls then. But, after YEARS of updates adding nothing but cash grab systems (loot boxes, skins, slop) and never fixing the core game, I think it's safe to say this game sucks and will never reach its full potential.

It's so fucking gᾱy now; you'll be watching TV and chatting to people on Discord before you know it. I had to go for 3 long walks in the forest after playing this game ONCE in order to clear the mind viruses from my head. I shudder to think of what this could do to a lower IQ individual with little knowledge of corporate slop electromagnet hypnosis. Stay safe, and never touch this game. By merely thinking about it, you are weaving a nest in your mind for a demon to inhabit.

I like it, I'm not sure if I got better or because a bunch of cheaters were banned. Either way I'm doing better, and most people (teammates) are fun to play. Good moral.

It was revolutionary in 2017/18, but nowadays it´s incredibly outdated and clunky.
Plus all the anime stuff really isn´t the way to go for a game like this

It's fun if you have a regular group you play with.
When we have too many people for squads, the Custom matches are a ton of fun.
If you set the custom matches to Private, you've got a really decent chance of not having cheaters in your game.
Cheaters seem to come in waves... Sometimes it's every other match and sometimes it's a week or more before I see one in the wild.

PUBG is still fun to play. You can still find decent lobbies for Arcade if you love that, some events are fun (zombies). If you don't like to play against players, you have a mostly AI mode with up to 12 real players. For the most part if you are playing normal mode and dropping in, avoid areas with lots of buildings, usually for players who want a quick elimination or fast paced fighting. Each game lasts roughly 20-30 minutes if you manage to survive past the first zone. I understand that some people would want to jump straight into area with lots of people and loot but these areas are not great especially if your goal is to win. Once you land you will be competing against 2 or more teams and would probably get gunned down. You won't be able to get as much kills but you have a stronger chance to win if you land away from the hot drop zones. As you play more, you would find that your decision making and positioning become better and better, which would enable you to survive in hot zones and have an easier time getting kills. As an 8 year old game, its natural that long time players have an advantage, but they can also lose fights. For those getting into the game, play casual mode and have fun, you will get better.
Monetization:
The game isn't ptw, if anything the skins make you stand out a little. Battle passes, loot boxes, and cosmetics are enticing but isn't neccesary for game play. You can get free stuff from battle passes and use the free BP that you get from playing games to buy lootboxes. You open the lootboxes for cosmetics and while not all of them are good cosmetics, you do have a chance to get something nice. Sometimes PUBG have events which have vehicle cosmetics. They are cool but also loud and requires you to stand 2 seconds to equip the skin. It's also possible to get the skin from the free lootboxes if you are lucky.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an adrenaline-pumping battle royale experience that truly sets the gold standard for its genre. From its immersive maps to its strategic gameplay, PUBG offers a thrilling blend of intensity and fun that keeps players coming back for more.

The game's graphics are stunning, with detailed environments that range from sprawling urban landscapes to rugged terrains. The dynamic weather and day-night cycles add an extra layer of realism, making each match feel fresh and unpredictable. The sound design is equally impressive, with every footstep and distant gunshot immersing you deeper into the action.

One of PUBG's standout features is its variety of playstyles. Whether you prefer stealth and strategy or fast-paced combat, the game caters to all kinds of players. The extensive arsenal of weapons, vehicles, and gear ensures no two matches are ever the same. Plus, teaming up with friends or joining random squads brings a sense of camaraderie that makes victory even more satisfying.

PUBG’s commitment to updates and improvements demonstrates its dedication to the player community. Regular content additions—such as new maps, modes, and cosmetics—keep the game exciting and engaging.

In short, PUBG is a masterclass in battle royale gaming. It’s not just a game; it’s an experience that delivers heart-pounding action and endless replayability. Whether you're a casual gamer or a competitive enthusiast, PUBG is a must-play.

Games just keep getting worse and not worth playing anymore. Developers just keep investing in skins rather in the game. Too many bugs and cheaters.

It is March 2025 and PUBG;

-is still not optimized properly
-depends heavily on single CPU core usage
-is still stuttering and laging even with the latest hardware, updated drivers and proper internet
-is unable to ban cheaters coming back to game

I have been playing this garbage for many years since it first came out and I have to say it is utterly dissapointing what devolopers are doing. We do NOT want any more shiny drop box or firework animations but proper optimization.

1. Bullets can hit anyone from almost any distance without a scope. No, it's not your aiming; it's just a game mechanic that favors shooters.

2. Does the zone matter? No, the game has dozens of mechanics that render the zone irrelevant. Behind the enemy line is everywhere.

3. This game simply isn't for solo players. This mention should be removed from the description because there is no ranked single-player queue.

4. Prefer watching streams over playing? This game is for you. You'll watch a lot of streams of your friends playing alone after your death due to point 3.

5. Player movement feels like controlling a wooden block. This is because someone thought it wise to split already sparse queues into smaller ones, allowing players to select FPP/TPP. Yes, the same wooden movement for both FPP and TPP experiences.

6. In TPP, the player's camera is always over the left or right shoulder, not over the head. You can control it by leaning, but there's no center, which makes a huge difference in peeking around corners.

7. This game had huge tactical potential, but developers prioritized making skins over providing gameplay improvements.

8. This game looks terrible. Oh boy. It's like '90s... Tactical hide-and-seek? Forget about it. You're in plain sight no matter the distance, because devs are lazy and focus on skins and fireworks for celebrating the 8th anniversary of doing nothing but skins. Compare this game to others like theHunter, which also have large areas to render—it's on a completely different level. They were given an entire Unreal Engine. Devs, you had one job. Congratulations...

Fix your shit ass game. Having to open and close the game over and over hoping it won't get stuck on a gray screen and just let me in to the main menu for a 7 year old game is comical. 50/50 chance it does the same after every game. What a joke

please fix your dumb audio system! it's not that hard to hear a car barreling toward you from behind irl, so why is it so hard to do in game? and no wearing a helmet is not an excuse, just let me hear what's happening around me!

Game hasn't changed at all, just different engine. Games bad

amazing graphics and smoother game play

I’ve got over 1,400 hours in PUBG, and I love the thrill of jumping in with nothing, scavenging for gear, and hoping my teammates have microphones. The feeling of putting together a solid loadout and surviving with a good team is what kept me hooked for so long. Plus, it's free, which not only gives it a consistent player base but also means you don’t need to spend any money to enjoy a solid battle royale. The low PC requirements make it accessible to almost anyone, which is a huge bonus.

But here’s the thing that made me stop playing—aimbot hackers. After a while, it felt like I wasn’t playing against real players, just wallhacks and aimbots. It got frustrating, and that’s what pushed me away from the game.

10/10 would recommend if the hackers weren’t an issue. It’s a solid game, just needs to fix the cheating problem.

A lot less hackers than COD. Keeping things fresh. Better game experience than other FPS games for myself.

1/10 Because the Devs cannot get a handle on banning and preventing hackers. You can Hot drop to one location and have a person pick up a mk12 and aimbot you and your entire squad within 30 seconds. Doesn't happen all the time but squads usually are all hacking when they do. Major issue with the balancing and fair gameplay of the game.

The report system is a joke. I had one person banned for team killing and spreading hatred propaganda and another banned temporarily for hacking his way to victory. If you're serious about fair gameplay this isn't the game for you. If you're not, Go download Epic Games and install a copy there and treat this like GTA 5.

This is the best game in the world, and if the population was higher and there was MMR you would understand that.

You can drive a Dacia in this game, which is awesome.

Much more realistic and fun than Fortnite or Counterstrike.

The sound engineer should be fired. The sounds in the new anniversary update will end your hearing and your will to live

great fun very realistic shooter

PUBG – From Battle Royale to Battle Pass Simulator

I’ve been playing PUBG since early access, back when frying pans were the best armor in the game and jumping out of a moving vehicle meant instant death. It was raw, it was broken, and it was glorious. Despite its jank, the thrill of that chicken dinner kept me coming back for over 4,400 hours—streaming, participating in community events, and witnessing some of the best and worst moments a battle royale could offer.

But after eight long years, I must admit... PUBG has finally won. Not as a refined, polished, thrilling experience. No, it won by outlasting its players, grinding us down, and mutating into something unrecognizable—a desperate, free-to-play mobile game in disguise, where the only thing dropping faster than me in Pochinki is my respect for the devs.

Battle Passes, Gambling, and the Art of Selling Out
Remember when PUBG’s battle passes were actually fun? They gave meaningful rewards, they were challenging, and they made you feel like you were progressing in something other than just your debt to loot box addiction. Now, every pass is just another overpriced chore list, rehashed quests rewarding you with a currency system so complicated it probably qualifies as an economics degree.

And just when I thought the game couldn’t stoop any lower, PUBG Studios went, “Hold my G-Coin.” This year, they introduced a full-on casino aesthetic—slot machines, lucky spins, and randomized G-Coin loot boxes. This isn't even trying to hide the gambling mechanics anymore; it’s just straight-up waving a neon “Insert Credit Card” sign in your face. What started as a battle royale has become a glorified slot machine with occasional gunfights in between microtransactions.

Cheaters and Anti-Cheat: A Never-Ending Love Story
Let’s talk about the real MVPs of PUBG—the cheaters. They’ve been here since the beginning, they’re more dedicated than the devs, and somehow they’re still outnumbering players in some lobbies. PUBG says they ban thousands of accounts every week, but fun fact: I still get lasered from 500m away by some dude named “FreeChickenHacks” who made his account 10 minutes ago.

Meanwhile, casual players and content creators get the cold shoulder. Want better matchmaking for newcomers? Nope. Want proper streamer support? Good luck. Want an esports revival? Forget it. PUBG Studios has made it clear: money comes first, community second, and game integrity somewhere in the negatives.

PUBG 2.0? Or Just More Broken Promises?
There’s been talk of PUBG 2.0 for years, with devs hinting at major overhauls and Unreal Engine 5 upgrades. But after all this time, all we’ve seen is a mountain of paid skins and another unfinished roadmap. Rumors say something’s in the works, but knowing PUBG Studios, it’ll either be:
A) Another cash grab
B) Some half-baked side project no one asked for
C) An actual improvement (but only available in the premium pass, obviously)

Conclusion: "A Love Story Gone Wrong"
PUBG was special. Even when it was janky, frustrating, and occasionally unplayable, it had soul. The tension, the firefights, the last-circle heart-pounding moments—it was an experience. But now? Now, it’s just another corporate product, desperately clinging to life with monetization schemes and ignoring everything that made it great in the first place.

And so, after eight years, I finally have to say it: Goodbye, PUBG. It feels like breaking up with a girl I once loved... except in this case, it’s more like a divorce that went really, really wrong.

💔 10/10 memories, 2/10 current game. Would not remarry.

The Battle Royale that started it all... 8 years in, still going strong. Always a good time, and WAY LESS CHEATING than Warzone and COD.

I've been playing PUBG for years, and it used to be one of the best battle royale games out there. However, ever since the game was acquired by Tencent, it has become a disaster.

Cheater Infestation – The anti-cheat system is almost nonexistent. The game is flooded with hackers, especially from regions where cheating is rampant. Reporting does nothing, and Tencent seems to care more about making money than fixing this issue.

Horrible Optimization – The game runs worse than ever. Lag, frame drops, and crashes are a constant problem, even on high-end systems. Instead of fixing performance issues, the developers keep pushing out more skins.

Unbalanced Matchmaking – Skill-based matchmaking is broken, leading to frustratingly unfair matches. You either get paired with complete beginners or ridiculously skilled opponents, making the game unenjoyable.

Lack of Meaningful Updates – Instead of improving core gameplay, Tencent keeps recycling old content and focusing on cosmetics. Other battle royale games have innovated, while PUBG has become stagnant.

Ever since Tencent took over, PUBG has turned into a cheater-filled cash grab. If you're looking for a fair and competitive battle royale experience, look elsewhere.

Bery Good, Bery nice !!

More Micro transactions please !!!

Get your ass kicked long enough to abandon the game or become an ass kicking cheater.

I mean, this game is objectively terrible.

It's janky
Movements have that low quality underwater vibe going
Gunplay is aggressively mid
Looting is tedious and has too many steps
Character customization is grossly monetized
Sound design is dogshit

There's no way I'll ever recommend this turd to anyone... And yet, every 2 to 3 years, I forget how shitty this game is, I reinstall it, play a few matches, remember how ass it is and uninstall it.

You should buy it just so you can play for a bit and go "Damn, this fucking idiot in the reviews was right"

perfectly phased , allowing for 4 player coop communication, planning and strategy at our own pace and play style. Thank you pubg
