2017 has been a special year for video games. It witnessed the return of such important series as The Legend of Zelda , saw factory line franchises like Call of Duty return to their roots, and even bore witness to the arrival of some impressive new propert
Someone comes into your home to do you harm, and you have no recourse. You are not armed, and you are not near any weapons. Nicely enough, you happen to be in the kitchen with a hot frying pan on the stove. Grab it and go to town. Its usefulness in PUBG is pretty understa
When you finally build the confidence and courage to start landing in heavily populated areas at the beginning of a PUBG map you need to sharpen up your close combat skills. A shotgun is a player's best friend in the narrow corridors of the school or other buildings. Outside of being accurate with your shots, there's another mechanic you need to be aware of. If you're using a gun that reloads between every shot you need to realize what happens when you're in an intense gunfight. If you fire a shot and hold the fire button down your gun won't reload. Many players panic when faced with another player trying to take their life. One thing players tend to do in moments of stress is hold on tight and grip the controller. This means that you're actively preventing yourself from having a chance. So, in shotgun fights remember to simply take your hand off the trigger between shots. On the plus side knowing this trick as a sniper will allow you to view your target post-shot for an extended amount of time so you can confirm whether or not you hit your target from distance. A lot of times knowing a mechanic is only important if you also know how it relates to different types of combat scenar
If only the character moments were as effective as the visceral combat scenarios. The plot spends a lot of time centered around two Navy SEAL squad mates and best friends - showcasing the "true life" experiences servicemen endure as well as their "acts of valor" on the battlefield. However, in their effort to bring authenticity to the proceedings by using actual SEALs, McCoy and Waugh ultimately undermine the success of the realistic and gritty combat sequences with stilted dialogue and stiff performances from their lead actors. It's obviously a touchy subject - since these are real people who have (and continue to) risk their lives for their country; however, more experienced actors could have ultimately provided a better foundation for the film's onscreen emotional c
That said, while the actual storyline is mostly underwhelming and locked into a relatively predictable plot progression, it does (as mentioned) make room for some truly slick combat scenarios that take advantage of the active-duty SEALs' training and battlefield experience. There's an authority to the combat sequences (via engrossing frontline action) that few military films have been able to capture in recent memory (with the exception of a few projects such as Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down ). As an example, phase 1 of the SEALs' extended mission sees the team infiltrating an enemy compound - and features a number of unique flourishes that ground the experience and offer some genuinely tense as well as cathartic mid-fight mome
Painkillers are one of the most effective medical items in the game. Not only do they regenerate health over six seconds (the third most rapid in the game) they can also increase running speed temporarily and boost health by

Ultimately, the film's greatest asset, the real life Navy SEALs (and their insight), create a strange mix of successes and failures that at times enhance the experience and on other occasions don't translate very well from reality to film. Much like the acting, there are moments where the filmmakers overindulged in reality and undermined immersion - offering a few flat-out all too "convenient" moments that probably have occurred on the battlefield (one involving a close-range RPG, especially), but come across as emotionally manipulative when viewed as part of a manufactured film project. Similarly, while the film's thin video game-esque storyline plays out like a mission logbook, and showcases the various aspects of military ops, it never bothers to develop the characters beyond anything but basic stereotypes - meaning that even though the story is on the surface realistic, there's very little for certain portions of the audience to connect with in the moment or ponder once the credits r
