Speculation: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive might be getting a PUBG-like mode

While I would have no chance against experiences players, I'd love to play this.
Hey, maybe the experienced players will stay where they are? :)

lol if this happens the developer of PUBG is going to get even more enraged.

That's right, not the assets or the art or the music .. the actual idea. Because last man standing was his idea he invented battle royale

And yes he is referring to being able to copyright a derivative work. I.e if the very first FPS idea (lets say wolfenstien 3D) was copyrighted we would only ever of had ONE FPS ever due to that copyright. That's why movies and music allow for derivative works to be allowed.

Sold 25 million copies. I guess greed knows no bounds.

I admit, that made me laugh and cry at the same time. I get it, people want to defend their works, but come on! This type of game has been around LONG before them. Anyone remember Minecraft Hunger Games? Very similar and that was a good few years ago now. There were more before that too.

That would be cool but is the Source engine able to handle huge maps like the ones in PUBG or Fortnite?

Quoting: GuestI've seen the name about, but have no idea what this pubg thing is. That's probably a comment about complete lack of interest if it's not available on GNU/Linux.

PUBG (PlayerUnknown's BattleGround − "PlayerUnknown" being the nickname of the creator of the game) is a shooter that takes its concept from the Battle Royale movie: 100 players are dropped on a big island and the last one alive wins the game. They start without any equipment and have to loot the place to find weapons, armors and health kits. To ensure that the game doesn't last forever, there is a safe zone that stretches in over time: if you're out of the zone, you start to take damage, so the survivors are forced to gather at the same spot and eventually confront the others unless there is only one standing.

It'd be good to have something like this on out platform. Also he shouldn't moan about a copycat version on Linux if he's not prepared to release it.

Wut?!?!?

What about H1Z1 King of the kill , Arma 3 Battle Royale mode?

They were standing there long before of PUBG.

Wasn't there also ARK:Survival of the fittest ? Although some release dates don't match up on Steam due to them being early access, im fairly sure ARK was out there too. Remember he is talking about the concept,idea.. so even the movies must have copied him back in 1999.

Now you know how many sales you have to have on steam to purchase a time machine.

Well, Brendan Greene (PlayerUnknown) was also the creator of Battle Royale mods for DayZ and Arma 2 (then ported to Arma 3). H1Z1 King of the Kill came out after his mods became popular. So, one could argue that he created that kind of gameplay, PUBG being the professional version of his previous attempts as a modder.

But in any case, a game concept can't be copyrighted. He can complain as much as he wants on this, he's basically yelling at clouds. (*insert Simpsons reference here*)

Quoting: GuestSo....deathmatch on an initially large map. Meh.

I think an important part is the shrinking sphere inflicting damage. It all boils down to a small part of the map (the place of which is not initially known) - and even down to zero if nothing happens for some minutes in the minimal space.

So deathmatch with limited time (and place, in a clever way, but still, just limited time/place).
