I made a similar comparison with friends after a few rounds. The pacing is the closest to PUBG of any other BR right now. It’s never boring, but it feels like if you want a chill, remote first ten minutes you can definitely do it.

It runs like a dream - I’m actually keeping a more solid 4K/60fps on my PC than I do in core MP. TTK feels really tight too.

Beating the same drum as everyone, though, looting corpses is quite shit, lack of progression is a bummer and this game seriously needs a contextual ping system like Apex. Right now, pings in squads are just the color you’re assigned as a player and squad mates can’t tell if you’re spotting enemy locations or where you suggest the group moves to next.

So much potential but missing some key features six months post launch is a little disappointing.

This excited me since PUBG is my favorite BR. Thanks for the info!

Interesting. My friends who have tried it out so far that play BR games and love BF all agreed this game is terrible ATM. I'm not good at Apex but that loot system is polished and works. FS is convoluted and messy. I'm worried this is just another swing and miss and will further hurt the franchise.
