			<description><![CDATA[<br>Recently, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been making headlines due to a ban of the game in certain areas of India. Student associations have called PUBG addiction worse than drug addiction , and governments have actually started arresting people for playing the game. The disdain for PUBG and its apparent effect on people in India has gotten so extreme that an Indian publication has now accused the game of turning kids into psychopa<br><br> <br>The Canted Sight is being added to the game in the upcoming patch 25, which is currently playable on the PUBG Test Server on PC. It's a weapon attachment that's being added to the loot pool and allows players to quickly switch between any sight of their choosing and a canted red dot si<br> <br>" The last man standing concept is great, but I've done that. I don't really intend to make PUBG 2. I've done battle royale, it's time to try something else. There are ideas about how we connect to people and how we provide the different experiences I hav<br><br> <br>PUBG has already struggled with monetization problems, frequently being accused of exploitative payment models that offer too little from a content-to-cost ratio. Most recently, PUBG came under fire for its event pass system , which required an inordinate amount of time from players to complete just to unlock the items they had paid for - the pass also cost $9.99 USD and was a time sensitive item. That, coupled with locked loot boxes on an already heavily criticized progression system, has seen the reputation of PUBG 's predatory microtransactions become even worse in recent mon<br><br> <br>PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ has finally revealed the cost of its hotly anticipated crossover with the DC Universe, but the _PUBG x Suicide Squad event isn't the smash hit fans of the game were hoping for. The PUBG Joker & Harley Quinn skins cost a total of $45 USD combined, which has prompted an extremely negative response from the game's commun<br><br> <br>In all of that time, I've never seen an update as influential to <a href="https://pubgfrontierzone.com/">PUBG Strategy|Https://Pubgfrontierzone.Com/</a> as the addition of Canted Sights. In case you have no idea what that means or you're just looking to learn how to use them, here you<br><br> <br>Greene's future projects are definitely going to be ones to watch. The mind behind one of the most influential games of the past few years has earned that kind of respect. Whether he's able to make lightning strike twice or three times is another thing altogether, but with the talent and resources Greene's position now afford him with, the only thing limiting that potential is the mind of a developer who has already proven he has a knack for the innovat<br><br> <br>Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the creator behind PUBG _ , has officially left the battle royale genre behind in pursuit of a new direction and the potential of other, less-explored genres. The creative mind behind _PUBG recently left his position at the game's studio in favor of heading a new internal division called PUBG Corp's Special Projects divis<br><br> <br>Nothing about the Special Projects division is really known at this point beyond the philosophy that's at play behind its creation. Greene has indicated that the division is meant to explore future possibilities within gaming that don't really exist currently, stating that the division would focus on creating new technologies and gameplay. Greene has also suggested that he already has a number of ideas for what these focuses should be, and that the creation of the division is to take one of the progenitor's of the battle royale genre's ideas and to make them reality. With PUBG 's popularity waning, now seems like a good time for Greene to step back and try something new outside of that sph<br><br> <br>Greene would later add that he's also " done the killing thing ," which seems to indicate that the creator is also exploring games with a much less violent focus than the title that he made his name off of. If Greene is done with battle royale, he's certainly left a lasting impression on the genre already. PUBG was one of the first titles in the genre to illustrate just how much potential it had, and even if it has since fallen out of favor because of the success of Fortnite and Apex Legends , the latter two games owe their current popularity to the groundwork PUBG laid before t<br><br> <br>One user, a YouTuber known as Battle(non)sense, analyzes and tests the more technical aspects of popular video games like the netcode, then posting the results to their channel. With a glut of popular battle royale games currently available, the user took it upon themselves to test out the most popular ones including Ring of Elysium , Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , Fortnite , PUBG , and Apex Legends . Battle(non)sense ultimately tested network delay for all of these games and went a step further by comparing a set list of netcode related features they of<br><br> <br>As Battle(non)sense points out, the networking side of the game seems to have been less of a focus than the moment to moment gameplay and fresh take on the genre as a whole . Considering EA is currently looking to hire a senior network engineer for Apex Legends and that the game has garnered a staggering amount of success since it released last month, it's looking likely that many of these issues may be fixed sooner than la<br>]]></description>
