Pros
Pro Can be solo, duo, or squad (4 players)
A squad is 4 people. The game matches you with others of the same type, so duos are matched together, squads are matched together, etc. If you go down, there is a small window where you can be revived by a teammate.
Pro Big map
Huge game map to play on. It is the same map every time. A circle will spawn that will occasionally start shrinking. If you are outside the circle, you take damage. This forces players to have to confront each other, avoiding the issue of there being 2 players alive that can't find each other.
Pro Vehicles are not overpowered
There are vehicles, but it is really easy to die in one. Your head is always visible to other players, making headshots very possible. You can kill someone by running them over, but they can also kill you. Tires can also be shot out, and vehicles can be blown up.
Pro Lots of different strategies you can take
The massive map, the great array of weapons, and the amount of different choices each player can make give you a great deal of strategies to follow to win the game. Even dropping from the plane to start the match is a choice that can greatly affect your possibilities of winning. Do you drop early to gain an edge over opponents? Do you drop close to the centre of the island in order to prepare for the final stages of the battle?
Even after dropping from the plane you can choose different strategies. You can play aggressive and try to hunt and kill other players, or you can bid your time, hide inside a building and wait for other players to kill each-other. The possibilities are endless.
Pro Every match feels as fresh as the first one
Even though all matches start the same (with you dropping from a plane), chances are, you will rarely have the same experience twice.
Up to 100 people can join the server which is practically a 8x8km island. The choices you (and every other player) make from the moment you touch ground onward, will alter the course of the match in unexpected ways. Items are also randomly-generated, which means you never know what you'll find.
Pro Awesome combination of looting, survival and combat
You start the game getting dropped from a plane where you parachute into a random point of the map. You got to loot to get as good gear/weapons as you can before the game forces everyone to converge to a location for an intense firefight.
Cons
Con Lots of RNG
The circle can spawn far away from you. Can get bad luck with item spawns. Another nearby player can get a gun before you do. Things like that. This can be a pro or a con, as it does make every game different.
