It all started when Chung "Blitzchung" Ng Wai had his competition winnings stripped and was slapped with a one year ban from competitive play after making a political statement about Hong Kong. The two casters who were interviewing him also faced harsh punishments, despite not making political statements themsel

In response to the uncertain state of PUBG , fans of other multiplayer-focused titles have urged developers to region-lock Chinese players. Most notably, battle royale fans currently enjoying EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends are adamant about curtailing the flow of hack

That said, everyone has a preference between the two. Even though they are both fun games that players can sink countless hours into, there are subtle differences between the two that make them stand out from each other. So, it’s about time that we take a look at them and let you decide which is the definitive Battle Royale g

Fortnite is a free-to-play game, and even though it has its fair share of microtransactions, it’s not a pay-to-win game. No major content is locked behind paywalls, and players have been able to go pro without spending a dollar on microtransactions. Fortnite is clearly the best game for budget-conscious play

Fortnite might have flashier loot, but looting in PUBG is more complicated. Players encounter a wide variety of loot that they can use to customize their weapons however they wish. So, if they feel they need faster aiming or better recoil, they can easily get this with the right l

Vector: This is one machine gun that can easily turn the tides with any shootout. By default, it doesn't come with many bullets. So, if possible, finding an extended magazine can double players' chances for survival. This is especially true for close-range fights that have little wiggle-room for players to avoid fire. However, if players keep seeing themselves in firefights that are at distance, it is best to switch to something else and save the Vector for a rainy

Unlike shotguns, Assault rifles can function as decent to extremely powerful mid to long-range weapons. Solidifying it as a much better weapon to rely on, even if it doesn't excel at close-range as shotguns do. Similarly, Sniper rifles are only really useful for long to mid-range combat, using a sniper at close range is always a death sentence, unless your aim is spectacular. This is where assault rifles establish superiority over the Sniper, while it is better at long range, it doesn't compare to the assault rifles util

But player counts don't mean everything, and if we're still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile's player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it's time to tackle the callisto protocol meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k

Sure this is far from that "meat and potatoes" we were talking about when discussing these two titans, but Fortnite's price point, or lack of should we say, has always been a big caveat. To this day PUBG still retails for $29.99 dollars, and that remained its price point long before it was a finished game, when it was a buggy mess back in Beta. Fortnite on the other hand has been a complete package since day 1, and has always been free with a fair micro transaction system that has been adapted all over the gaming wo

PUBG has brought a whole new meaning to the word sterile. Even today the game looks like an earlier edition of Call of Duty that was stripped down to it's barest of bones. The only personality it has that comes to mind is the iconic level three helmet and the frying pan, but there's not much more than t

S12K: Vikendi is riddled with towns and other urban dwellings, which is a natural environment to pull out any shotgun including the S12K. This shotgun is death incarnate in the hands of players that are stuck in any kind of intimate skirmish. It has a unique rate-of-fire which enables players to "blast away" at a blazing speed. With an extended magazine, a player can tear down an entire squad within seconds. However, it's not recommended for open areas, as its range simply won't do any adequate dam

Assault rifles sort of fill this weird limbo within PUBG. They aren't exactly good for long-range fights like sniper rifles are, but they also aren't better than other weapons for close-range combat. So what do we make of these weapons? If they aren't designed for long or close-range combat what is their purpose? And the answer is that they aren't meant to fill both and some middle gro

The two games are quite similar. They are both in the battle royale genre, where players are flown to a remote island where they fight each other to the last gamer standing. They have also introduced other modes that are more Team Deathmatch than battle roy

Third-person is the standard version of both games, but PUBG takes the gold here with their first-person mode, that quite honestly might be the best way to play. You see, with first-person there just isn't any cheese, you can't see corners that you wouldn't normally see or have blind corner batt
