Ubisoft are charging £50 for a game that doesn't even vaguely work and is due to release very soon.
Thoughts?
b-beta
>Thoughts?
yeah
>ubisoft
it blows my mind how people still support this shitty company. seriously, if you've given money to ubisoft in the past 5 years, it's highly likely you're a braindead moron.
>>318091753
it'll fail
this actually might be the last rainbow six game
I think it's fun desu
>>318091753
I paid 30 for it on cdkey. its fun. I like blowing holes through walls.
>>318091885
Good. After vegas 2 had a helicopter boss the series rocketed over the shark
>got free code from buying graphics card
>friend or two also getting it from new gfx cardsinb4 Pascall fuck you I know
suppose it'll be fun for a while with friends.
>>318092726
And I got it by grabbing one of the codes from those graphics cards on ebay.
Anyone who gets this game full price when there's $25 on ebay is a fool.
It's a tragedy desu. Out of all the MP games this year, this one seems to have the better overall experience, but it has shit tickrate, servers, etc. It makes me wonder where this game would be if it was PC exclusive.
>>318091753
It's terrible, everyone is covered in vaseline and the weapon models cover half the screen
Did anyone watch the Seige Day event?
The people from Rooster Teeth had a recurring bug where one person would become an invulerable ghost and scout out the positions of the opposing team.
>>318091753
> doesnt even vaguely work
Your hyperbole discredits you
>>318091753
my thoughts are can we take this fucking engine and remake Raven Shield
>>318093064
The netcode is just embarrassing. The entire game is badly put together.
It's a shame because the game has a good formula and when it works it can be pretty fun but it's just a fucking mess. Uplay is a pile of shit and the lag, bugs and random crashes make it unplayable. If Ubisoft had their shit together they could have a good game on their hands for once.
>yet another action shooter instead of a milsim realism tier operator game
fuck havoc
>thoughts?
IQ is a QT
Also how do we still have netcode issues in 2015?
>>318093607
The netcode is the least of the problems. Matchmaking and even the menus are fucked.
>>318093607
>how do we still have netcode issues in 2015?
because consoles and developers who have no fucking clue what the fuck they're doing and videogames development is a 9-5 job for them.
>everybody complains about lag and netcode
>never encounter lag, netcode feels fine to me
Is this just a console issue? I haven't been having any of these problems in the beta.
>>318091753
>tfw remembering when ubisoft and the rainbow six games were good
the series was on life support with lockdown and died with vegas. fuck all you newfags who liked the vegas game, they were shit.
Biggest problem the game has is matchmaking and awful servers. Then the stupid decision to have tons of menus between rounds with so much fucking loading during a match. There is more menu and loading than there is gameplay.
THunts are fun though, I don't give a shit about the 5v5 MP but THunt was nice. Not buying it at launch though, and will likely pick it up around 20 dollars when key resellers get on that shit
>>318092691
Damn, link? Lowest I found was $36 so far, I'd actually consider it at 30
>>318093862
How much of the beta have you played? I'm on PC and the matchmaking is complete shit and some games are just unplayable due to everyone lagging. The netcode is dreadful and there are plenty of bugs that can even cause the game to crash.
>>318093909
It was on life support with Raven Shield. Died with Lockdown. Dug up from the grave and revived with the Vegas series.
I don't get it why do they try to push for "esports" when the gameplay isn't even that good and the community is pretty much inexistent.
~Just another flavour of the week AAA game this is getting really sad. They just don't get it man.
Shit's fucked
Also I just got booted out of a game for no reason saying connection error even though it was fine
It's a good game when you can play it, but holy fuck does it need polishing. If this is what the game is gonna be like when it launches (which it most definitely is) then I can't I have much hope for it doing all too well.
Telling you right now, though, the reason this game was a ton of fun for me was because I had a stack of 4 other friends to play with. When you're solo it's a pretty terrible experience because everyone treats it like fucking CoD. So if you're thinking of buying this game but have no friends to play it with just be warned that it's a pretty bad solo experience.
>>318093862
I noticed I was never getting lag in Casual but as soon as I went to search for a ranked game it was literally unplayable because the rubber banding was so bad.
>>318094574
>Unfortunately be EU
>Every game I play there is always some slav or frog with always talk on
>They won't shut up and yell a lot during the game
>They're always complete shit
I cannot play this game without my friends, I just can't subject myself to it.
Game is shit
I want Patriots back
>>318094472
Thing is, they don't know what they want. Are the pushing for CoD style multiplayer shooter? They won't get the fanbase for it. Are they pushing for esports? It's costs too much for people to want to invest in it. Are they aiming for tactical milsim people? Don't make me laugh.
It's DOA. It plays like a F2P game despite costing loads. Which is sad, as I liked the concept of it.
>>318093592
What does Havok have anything to do with it?
>>318094574
>>318094765
>tfw I have no friends to play it with
Another game on the coop game I can't play because I've got nobody to play with list I suppose. It's shit being a lonely gamer.
>>318095146
When you run into him, your team is basically done.
>>318093064
>shit tickrate
ah, the newest meme
>Download 8GB beta
>Cannot connect to servers
Now I REALLY want to buy this game.
>>318095013
>Patriots
>PRESS SQUARE TO ELIMINATE THREAT
>Yo, why'd they cancel Patriots, breh?
>>318095252
Funny right?
Before the thing about Overwatch, nobody knew what this shit was or gave a shit
Ignorance is bliss
>>318091753
Ubisoft made this game?
Damn, I was thinking of getting it, but I can't in good faith spend money on a video game if I know those Quebecois roasties touched it.
>>318091753
Business as usual
>>318095252
>Better tickrate was requested for Battlefield 3, 4, CSGO years ago
>Thinking this is recent
Check out my webm of the only fun I've had while playing.
>>318095297
I know that betas being demos is a meme, but in this it feels almost like it's an anti-demo. It'll put people off.
>>318095013
Patriots looked like trash.
>>318091753
THATS SO STRANGE
I WOULD NEVER EXPECT SUCH A RESPECTABLE COMPANY TO DO SUCH A THING
UNPRECEDENTED
>>318095060
Honestly, I can see the game working as an eSports title or just a very competitive oriented game. While in just your run of the mill game with randoms on each team it may seem simple, but when you get two good full stacks against each other it's some of the most competitive and intense gameplay I've had in awhile.
Only problem is the game is more about outsmarting people than outplaying them, which not a lot of average gamers are good at. Also I don't think the Operators offer as much variation as they were hoping, there are only a select few that actually offer a huge advantage over the others from what I feel.
>>318094284
Have you played last night? I had 2 buds and match making FINALLY worked with no issues
That said the lag compensation / net code is fucked. Once I stood up, then crouch, and the died. In the kill cam he shot mid aid, and my guys head just appeared there as the death animation happened. Had to have been at least a second behind, at 40ms.
With that said, fun game. I bought it
>>318095343
is this an ironic post or?
do you actually think nobody was talking about tickrates before overwatch?
how old are you?
>>318095461
>Even in games that pretend to be realistic shotguns are popguns after more than three feet
>>318095169
>have friends to lan with every friday
>couldn't convince them to buy a full priced title even if it was actually good
>Play the house level
>Enemy picks the garage for the bombs
>Own team picks the garage for the bombs
>Enemy picks the garage for the bombs
>Own team picks the garage for the bombs
Repeat ad infinitum
>>318095598
And then^ died. The kill cam showed him shooting nothing / mid air^
Fucking auto correct.
This game is the definition of D.O.A in the AAA vidya industry
a publisher/game developer who don't know what the fuck they're doing
>>318095517
The problem with this game being an esport is:
>its a shitty version of CS:GO
>>318095708
It dropped both those first guys in one shot. Just not shield guy cause lol shield.
Also the bullets don't drop in damage with distance, only with pentetration. The slugs or w.e a shotgun shoots do spread out quite a bit more though at distance, really wide at like 20ft.
>>318095916
Rayman was good
>>318095934
Kind of this. Opinions on CSGO aside, trying to take it on as an esport is suicide. It's too established.
>>318095934
Honestly I think it's a pretty far-fetched comparison. The only thing similar about them is the objective and premise.
>>318095708
Shotguns have a lot more utility in Siege though since you can punch through walls much faster to make murderholes.
>>318095993
A shotgun would damage his shield though.
Also at the end of that webm it's a point blank shot and he just gets "injured"
>>318095812
Why garage? It's so easy to breach, just need a shield, termite, and maybe thatcher if they have they electrocute the garage door. Tada, you can use the blinding sunlight to cheese along with hundreds of grenades.
Honestly it's piss easy. Good teams take master and kids bedroom
>>318093195
Is there no FOV slider?
>>318095619
I never saw it talked about on /v other than in cs:go threads
>>318096134
Oh I see what you say. Well, shields in this game are metal infinite walls, so it's unrealistic in that way anyways. Sad.
>>318096140
You tell me. I have no friends to play with so I can only play solo, and we get garage EVERY TIME
>>318093862
it doesnt lag, but the update count is definately low. nothing says fucked servers than dieing from someone's shot before they even turn to face you when both of you have 75 ping
>>318096151
Yes up to 100, it doesn't help the weapon models, they don't scale down in size enough l. Needs to scale weapons about 30% smaller.
>>318092716
I don't remember this, was it near the end?
>>318096151
There is
>>318096201
It's talked about in pretty much every fps game.
Especially if the game is even semi-competitive.
i thought the beta was ok, though i won't be buying it. at least not for a good while
>>318096296
Yeah its more of dying after you passed the wall, on the kill cam you're still in doorway but on your screen you cleared it. Same for crouching and standing up, and getting heads hot when you crouched
Just general movement fucking you
>>318096232
That's too bad, I play with 2 others on pc so we usually control the vote on location.
>>318096340
Just saw it on YouTube, I must have repressed it.
>>318094526
I've died so many times from this bullshit
How hard would it be to just make any clipping through walls invisible or something?
In a tactical game it's unacceptable that someone can see my gun through the wall when I go to place a breaching charge.
>>318096201
It's a talked about thing on insurgency. People avoid the non-128 tick servers almost as much as non moderated servers.
The real community anyways, not just pub shitters who go 0-28
>>318091864
Syndicate was good
i'm going to be giving
The division and ghost recon wildlands
>>318094526
>>318096604
I didn't even realize the webm is not about the muzzle flash being in the wrong place
>mfw we've reached the point where F2P garbage is more polished than AAA titles
>and they play the same
I want to get off of this ride
>>318092716
I replayed Vegas 2 again recently and I still had as much trouble destroying the helicopter as I did the first time playing. The grenade spam from enemies is relentless.
>>318091864
I like the game, and I liked anno 2070.
Oops that's the last 5 years. Oh well. I'll just go play a different tactical shoo- oops the most recent one came out 8 years ago :(
Really if there's a better tact game than siege that isn't a decade old I'd love to play it. I don't mind siege but it's certainly not flawless.
>>318096836
It's quite sad that my favourite shooter of this year has been Dirty Bomb, F2P trash published by Nexon.
>>318097051
The f2p model isn't too bad, really. It helps that a lot of the cheaters guns overlap. Its a good game and probably my favorite shooter this year, too
>>318091753
there's also no single player
>>318097190
But there is, Lone Wolf
>>318096836
The killcam and syncing in Siege still hasn't been fixed yet. It's been bugged ever since the closed alpha.
>>318097273
>multiplayer matches with bots
>singleplayer
Thanks
Probably the worst net code I've ever seen
Kill cams and end of the round kill cams really makes the shifty netcode/tick rate shine
>>318096808
...................a chance
>>318097273
my bad, I meant there's no campaign
Did they nerf shield yet?
>>318096617
>playing Insurgency for anything other than the co-op
>>318097946
actually recently, like a few days ago, they added an entire proper single player option. its just multiplayer and bots, but you can now command the bots and if you die, you hit f to control any AI your spectating

Is Kapkan's traps even useful in PvP? The laser trip stands out so much.
>>318098393
Thanks anon! With their coupon applied, this is reasonable for the game I think.
>>318098914
I found out that placing it in obscure locations help best.
>>318098393
>look around on these sites every few days
>see black ops 3
>think maybe it could be good to shoot up some shit even if the game is dumb
>NUKETOWN DLC!!!!
I'm really glad the game is so stupid now it literally keeps me away from itself, why do people play that fucking map is completely beyond me
>>318098393
That's... that's actually a reasonable price for the game
thank you Nvidia for making the codes so cheap for these shady sites
Played the demo. What a garbage game, the gunplay is retarded.
>>318099214git gu... it's an ubisoft game, what do you expect? ARMA?
>>318097929
no, but they nerfed pistols
>>318099050
If it's like Black Ops II, the map is not in the normal rotation and is either only available in a special playlist or only during certain events like 2x XP weekend.
Game needs more qt operators to be successful.
Playing it now, its kinda fun but that may be because Im new to it. I wouldn't pay 60 bucks for it though.
>>318100136
I have black ops 2 due to a refund and that shit comes up all the time and people never ever vote away from it because they seem to be deranged animals
>>318097929
>Laser sight bonus reduction will decrease the efficiency of hip firing.
>Dispersion increased by 2.5x while hip firing with a shield equipped.
>Dispersion further increased up to 5x while taking fire on the shield
>>318097929
Shields are still OP as fuck. Sure it's harder to shoot from behind the shield now, but you are still this immortal titanium god.
>>318100389
All you fags wanting females in every game need to be hanged.
>>318091753
sounds like the same ea is doing
How do I find the open beta onUplay? There's nothing there.
>>318100879
It should by default show up, maybe restart but I know for sure it doesn't need any special links to show up.
>>318101189
Oh, nevermind. I didn't know it was on Steam as well.
>>318094360
why are those men falling down
>>318101632
in older R6 games you couldn't see your gun
>>318101673
That seems like a foolish design choice.
Too bad I won't be buying it or i'd enjoy no-headshot ((or at least reduced damage)) servers.
Head hitboxes are too large for one shot kills, not to mention the number of characters with obvious kevlar lined helmets
>>318097379
Not him but it's vs bots not with bots. You can only lone wolf it and fuck that in a team based game.
Really like the base game and the ideas behind it. That said it is not worth $60 at all, only console dinguses around the holiday would buy it for that price. When it hits $15 I might, if it isn't dead already anyways since it's not Steam.
>>318102169
why? having a gun on screen doesn't really add anything to the game.
>>318098048
>>318102250
Oh wow, I stand corrected. Nice.
>>318102169
I think it was conscious to stop the game from being confused with arcade fps.
>>318102265
It makes it easier to understand why all the men are falling down.
>>318102614
they didn't design it around the idea that people would be watching webms of it 15 years later and not understanding what's happening
>>318100389
They're going to add a Canadian, another American, Brazilian, and Japanese CTU for next year. Only 2 operators each though. They gave us a preview of the Canadian one. One on the left looks like a grill.
>>318091753
>tfw alpha and beta are marketing terms now and have lost their original definition
Ubisoft is also basically admitting that their game is unfinished by labeling the game as still in beta.
>>318100862
look at this faggot
>>318102763
Nice catch, I completely didn't notice that.
>>318102753
Well that's just plain shortsighted.
>>318091753
I'm not going to have time to try out the beta this weekend. How bad is it?
Actually preordered it today because it looks really good. Like insurgency with more gadgets/better gimmicks.
If it straight up doesn't work I'll probably just refund it and wait til January or so for them to patch it a few times first
>>318102614
You can see the bullet impacts hitting the walls and blood on the tangos. No sound webms doesn't help either.
>Tom Clancey
>Rainbow Six
Both names are worthless after he sold the rights to his name.
I won't pay full retail for a shooter without a meaningful single player component. If the MP felates horse, at least the campaign provides an entertaining shooting gallery. EA doing it with SW:BF was somewhat expected since the company is both stupid and greedy, but I expected better out of Ubi.
>>318103350
It works most of the time, but when there are problems my god does it have problems. Mostly lag when it happens, its either a flawless connection or unbearable.
>>318091864

Have you bought from them before? When do they tend to get their keys? After release or what
>>318104969
I'm not that anon, but to answer I've bought there before only once and I got it a few hours before. Sorta crossing my fingers on it, I'm always skeptical of these websites working 100%.
>>318102347
its okay. its nice to just fire it up, cheat yourself max supply points and just dick around with each gun and really seeing the attachment differences? but the ai needs work. shit like team vs team, ive seen one teams last man just stand on a roof while the other team searches the bottom levels forever. and taking control of a bot, means your stuck with his loadout. not sure if its a bug, but i couldnt change what i was using until i died and went back to my original player. but hey, its there, and i guess itll get worked on more and made better.
are they bringing back team leader on villa?
If not ubi can shove up their dick hole.

I have bought a few things from them and got the keys instantly, I have never pre-ordered but here is hoping they don't drop the ball.
>GUYS! THE ALPHA WORKS LIKE AN ALPHA!! THE BETA WORKS LIKE A BETA!! CLEARLY THE GAME ISN'T IN IT'S COMPLETE STATE LET'S COMPLAIN THAT THE ALPHA WASN'T 100% CORRECT AND PERFECT!!! LET'S SUE THEM!!
