A BRIEF BACKGROUNG
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds most popularly known as PUBG is a multiplayer online battle game or Battle royale game which is developed by South Korean based company Bluehole and published by Krafton. The Game was first released on December 2017 for windows via steam and with increasing popularity it has been introduced on several other platforms like Xbox, PlayStation.

Now, the most interesting part that most of us don’t know is that this amazing game is heavily inspired by a Japanese film Battle Royale in which the group of 100 people send to a isolated island and then forced to fight until there is only one man standing. With a similar concept PUBG is also a battle royale, where 100 unknown people parachuting from a plane landing on a various maps with different size and terrains, available in the game.
PUBG’S overview
Each player will start in a plane, before parachuting on a selected map. Initially each player will start with absolute no weapons or any type of gear, players themselves have to find items for their arsenal. Players can select whether they want to play solo, due or with a small 4 member team. The last man or team alive is the winner.
In the game, some of the maps are very big but the battle field slowly starts to decrease as the game progress, the players health slowly starts diminishing if they are outside of the safe zone and eventually being eliminated. The game is very intense, exiting and is suitable for players for all skill levels. Though critics suggests some technical flaws in the early phase of the game yet it receives positive comments and according to them it is highly replayable.
PUBG studio held many small tournaments in which they invite many streamers and the result was a huge success. PUBG became very popular worldwide and become successful on every platform. It’s been said that the game has generated 13 billion dollars worldwide and is considered as one of the highest grossing video games of all time.
PUBG’s Gameplay analysis
PUBG players starts on a plane, the route of the plane is depends on the map that is selected. Players can analyze the map and choose their desired location for landing. Once parachuting on the ground players can search buildings, ghost town and several other sites for weapons, safety equipments or vehicles. These items are well distributed through out the map generally high risk areas have great deal of weapons or items. Player can also loot from other players after killing them. PUBG offers both first person and third person playing option to the gamers both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
In PUBG there is no safe location, every few minutes the area of the battlefield starts shrinking and the unfortunate players who are outside of the safe zone eventually got eliminated. This reduced space increases the chances to encountered other players thus making this game very intense as the time progresses. On the map there are some red spots, these spots are highly risky and can be bombed at any time, one should always watch out for these things. Through out the game some planes can be seen flying over the map and they throw boxes full of essential supplies. These supply boxes emits red smoke.
Winners can get in game currency which they can use to purchase items in the game’s store. “winner winner chicken dinner” is the phrase used to announce the winners. Usually it’s been noticed that one complete round can last anywhere upto 30 minutes.
Now, this is just the basic analysis of PUBG’s battle royale, since the beginning of the game many modifications have been made in order to keep pubg unique from the competition. Many maps have been added, there are different modes to play and much more. Zombie mode is also very popular among the players. I personally like deathmatches were there are two teams starts on small location with weapons already in hand, they have to eliminate each other, eliminated player is respawned and again the game continues until the time ends. Team with more kills eventually wins the round.
