Already have, no help and ubisoft support are being wankers
This was the most fun I've had playing a game this year with friends, and that was in beta.
It's a shame that ya could only get 5 friends in a lobby cos there were a lotta lone wolves left outta the groups when it came to game time.
There's a lotta shit bugs thought.
I play with fullscreen window mode to record gameplays/manage OBS and keep an eye on TS and monitor other apps. I've been having issues with U-play overlay and so have other mates who've been using the fullscreen window option. It seems to freeze once in, say, every 13 times you access the overlay which causes the game to just hang.
Installing the game now. Whats the general consensus? people diggin it?
>>123986043
Don't know what else I can do for you then mate. Might just have to sit on it for a minute.
Again, these bomb fucks in t-hunt are full fucking bullshit.
>play tacticooly
>using remote tagging before breaching and all that
>know where one was
>playing as thatcher
>toss emo grenade aroubd corner where he is
>in the time before my grenade goes off he activates, runs full force at me, kills me
Playing or having a thatcher helps yes but sometimes these assholes are just fucking dumb.
>>123986385
there's other shit bugs like rarely you can join a lobby and the thing will take more than 5 mins to load in from matchmaking where you will find yourself at the start of round #2 with one team possessing a win already to everyone's confusion.
The frequent dropouts from matches still occur throughout closed beta to current release. In ranked there is no pause option or time-out like in ranked dota matches although there is a penalty (15 min ban) for leaving.
If you get dropped, there's a 50% chance that upon restarting the game you can use a popup option to rejoin the ranked game already in progress. However, other times you will jsut receive a 15 min ban
So the connection issues are still present? That was my only issue with the beta. I had loads of funny otherwise.
>>123986389
Its fun but probably not worth the full price.

I'm fucking loving it, but I'm the OP so that's probably a given.
Would people be interested in a steam group?
I'm happy to put a console group or however you peasants gather:^)in the OP too.
Anything you want put in the OP, reply to this post so I can see it.
>>123986779
Ubi going to player hosting is killing games. If one fucker leaves that drops the whole lobby, in t-hunt at least.
>>123986931
I got it for £20, price seems fair.
>>123986931
>>123986779
>no story, only training missions
Not every game needs one. I don't get this newfound "if there's no story, it's shit" mentality.
>controls can be wonky sometimes
I personally don't understand this complaint, but friends have mentioned it
>hit detection is still bad
First time hearing this
>randoms are fucking dumb
As with most mp games
>>123986705
In beta there were shitcunts who would join ranked without any operators unlocked and that seems to have been fixed by locking down ranked games until you reach level 20.
be weary that every action you make in ranked games will have an affect your rating.
There's still no clipping issues which can really spoil your/your enemy's stealth approach. In reviewing footage during editing I found that I reacted a lot to subtle no-clips of the edge of weapons and attire. Even if I believe I subconsciously reacted it still poses advantage. The game plays very well with sounds and reaction to it, environmentally but the no-clips fuck this all up.
laying down can clip your feet through corners and giveaway your awesome position. IMO there is no reason to prone unless you are facing forward with your feet behind and you are looking towards an enemy with certainty no enemies will approach from a flank or rear.
>>123987179
>>controls can be wonky sometimes
>I personally don't understand this complaint, but friends have mentioned it
I think that stems from the un-natural lean toggling and a few odd placements, but they're pretty easy rebinds.
>>hit detection is still bad
>First time hearing this
I think it's a symptom of low server tick combined with super low TTK - but I'm no expert.
>>123987179
I only listed the story thing cause it seems like a hot topic. And the hit detection is bad sometimes, yes.
>playing t-hunt
>crotching

Not sure if its like a call of duty replay deal where the replay cam is deceptive but its happened a couple times.
>>123987510
>Not sure if its like a call of duty replay deal where the replay cam is deceptive
That's a huge part of it, combined with this:
>a symptom of low server tick combined with super low TTK
I did some experimenting with a friend and a laptop and while our actions were pretty similar and sync'd up on our respective screens and showed very little discrepancy between my view of him and his view of himself- the kill cams were consistently off the mark.
>>123987054
Im on the ps4. Would play t-hunt if it prevented playing with retard randoms.
>>123987254
With the dedicated servers, it definately feels like there is less fuckery with the responsiveness and connectivity form your end. but with dedicated servers can we customize matches and play team vs team with friends?
>i dont have a fucking clue
One thing I can't stand is that there are microtransactions for aesthetics that can be purchased with renown earned in game and with credits purchased with real money but there are a few single item skins that can ONLY be purchased with the credits.
I'm a delux edition pleb and I thoguht by throwing more money at them I'd be part of the in-crowd for bonuses and exclusive items but that doesnt seem to be the case. I thought I was working around the microtransactions by getting delux.
>I have an itchy butthole at this stage.
Regardless of my gripes this game is fun. The current industry standard business model of preplanned and announced dlc shits me and microtransactions shit me worse but this game is playable when it works without issue, say 50% of the 5 round matches at a time if you have a full team. Hopefully this is the kind of game that can fill the void between arcadey cs:go and tactical arma and if that demand is there I would hope and expect to see this tweaked and fleshed out in the coming months to be more playable and stable.
That's all I gotta say about it for the time being.
This shit has been a blast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5FeZI6y2A
>>123988317
I heard that the dlc is instead gonna be free updates with content. Payed for by the microtransactions in game.
>>123988492
yea that's supposed to be the case. but to get a hint on day one like seeing a skin that I can only buy with MT money gives me an itchy asshole.
I paid an extra $20 something AUD to get the delux edition (I will admit I really only did this in support of ubi for choosing to go with dedi servers for the feedback druing tech testing) but I still feel uneasy that even though I own said content I still dont have access to the other aesthetics. Instead they give me 600 in-game credits, which feels like a casino credit... you know where they kiss your ass before they fuck your wallet in every slot and zipper.
Anyhow, that's really jsut a debate over their optional aesthetics and I'm just a salty cunt about it.
>>123989043
Before I nod off over here, I was just browsin at ubi forums and people are still complaining that shield operators are imba.
I just upped this vs a team using shield operators. If you are fast enough they are just too easy to bait.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwItFafUNdA
That's with smoke,
If you use Jager or Bandit they're even faster on their feet.
>>123992730
You're not bad, Mr. Chink man, but I think you got pretty lucky with your positioning against those guys.
The real complaining comes from when you're actually facing off with a shield guy.
I cant rememeber five years back but where shield operators a nusiance in vegas 2?
>>123993249
Well, I always use barbed wire in side-step choke points with keyholes if fighting them defensively. You also gotta know that if they are just around the corner, you can rush them with a melee attack because 9/10 times they are gonna wait for you between fire-bursts to attack.
If aggressively defending. you can always outrun them and outplay them if you have offensive gadgets to use like smoke bombs and c4. They have to attack the objective/rescue a hostage/capture the area. If you get a shieldyman sitting like a vagrant in a corner he aint gonna do much is he.

I thought this kind of shit was out of fashion?
>>123995226
It's a probably satire making fun of other video games. Blitz with CoD, Fuze with Dead Island, Kapkan with Stalker, Thatcher with Price from CoDMW. Although, I'm probably reading way too much into it.
>>123995748
Is Kapkan useless?
>>123995748
>this
if there was a hint of satire anywhere else in the game but I haven't come across any.
It's like probably just their youngest frooc art director newfagging it up overthere.with all of his edges
>>123995226
Wait, is this the actual blitz video? I wouldn't be surprised considering how edgy thatcher is
>electronics are crutches
>but a blades always reliable
Also that sledge guys video is prettt cool.
So is this worth 80 canadian bucks? Or nah?
>>123996873
Not OP
So far, and throughout the beta, I've found Kapkan incredibly useful.
The best place for traps is somewhere nobody would expect it, like the front door to a site, roof access, or a main hallway. Everyone expects traps at the objective alone, and usually those get destroyed with breach charges, but nobody wastes breach charges at the entrance of a building, especially if it's a known safe way in.
He's my favorite defender thus far.
Can someone tell me the location of the game if you installed via Steam? I'm trying to see if I can use the beta's files as a base to install the rest of the game onto.
>hiding behind the hostage as cover
why didn't i think of this
how do you use booby trap guy effectively? his traps seem really obvious
Can someone tell me why the fuck does this guy use a DP28 in modern day? While Fuse has access to a PKP
>>124015719
I put them behind doorways people would normally overlook and not expect. Places like the main doors into an area, roof access, a main hallway between buildings, any place somewhat away from the actual combat/defense zone.
So many people just put traps on the windows and doors by an objective, but they're always just blown up or expected. Nobody expects the first door they walk though to be rigged to explode, especially if it's a good ways away from the objective.
Fucking FBI and Spetnaz are all top tier.
>>124016947
do you always barricade a door you trap, or do you rely on them to not even look near the floor if it's a clear passageway in an unusual location?
i just finished a set of matches 0-3, every person on my team except me had 0 kills and 0 assists. maybe if they wouldn't stand in front of the guy with the shield i could actually protect them, but they want to sprint in cawadoody mode and die to the first trap
>>124017341
SAS are pretty fuckin good aswell Smoke and Sledge.
I think the the only ones who got shafted were the frenchies though Rook and Montange have there uses
>die to something i don't notice at all
>"oh well, i can see what happened in the death cam"
>death cam just shows an extreme close up of the enemy's face as he stands there doing nothing at all
>>124017341
GSG9 are pretty solid desu, though Mute is fucking 10/10 necessary to defence.
>Can fuck over drones early game, even cable to use all four of his jammers in the setup phase to stop jumping drones from bypassing the first jammer
>Able to make castle's walls impenetrable on windows, and hard to bust on doorways
>Only counter to Thermite's thermite
I always take Mute, unless the enemy team is using Fuze a lot, then I switch to Jager to try to counter his horseshit.

>>124025175
There'll definitely be less people playing ranked right now, the game's only been out like ~30 hours including the earliest timezones to unlock it.
Remember that you get a FAT bonus just for winning, so if you're being consistent in scrub-stomping you'll hit rank 20 faster, and all the pubs who would go there for the increased RP/XP simply haven't hit 20 yet.

>>124034323
If the cunt with the shield spots you first, you lose. It's literally impossible to deal with them unless you have someone backing you up for a flank.
3 of them means that you'd need 6 people just to deal with the fucking shields. Except you've got another 2 cunts running around.
>>124034591
Run at him and melee, it goes through the shield. I do it all the time. Unless he aims he can't hit shit
>>124032821
are there no frag grenades? can you not shoot feet? do flashes not work against shields?
Sigh, I just wanna plan missions and build teams again...
>>124034886
Every time I try and melee I get wrecked, probably because it's fucking impossible to hit V without activating some other dumb bullshit, and shield bashes take precedence.
>>124034925
Only a few classes have frags, I haven't even seen them on a defender. They're also incredibly slow, taking a full 3 seconds to explode with a massive flashing indicator. Feet disappear when the shield cunt crouches, and flashes seem like attacker only gear, and they're too slow anyway.
This game would be about 10 times more fun without having to plan around shields. It makes sense for defenders to erect simple waist high walls for protection because they don't know the attack angles, but it doesn't make any sense for attackers to have more than one, max, per team.
My friend wants to buy it on steam, it still goes through uplay and he can play with me[I have it on uplay] right?

so can you use defenders in terrorist hunt?
Easy 800 RP: Go to the tutorials and just skip through them
>>124037597
yes
>>124037664
You get about 8k if you go through the 10 mission tutorial.
Honestly, you have more than enough dosh to unlock 4-8 classes and some weapon sights.
The game is literally already dead, a day after launch.
Takes upwards of 5 minutes to find a match which lasts 2 minutes.
Matchmaking only works when there's a decent pool of players, and nobody is playing this.
Whats the deal with terrorist hunt? I never played the beta.
Do you just run around, looking for bombs, slowly losing health to infinately spawning terrorists until your team is all dead? Seems fucking stupid, especially given some if the operators are beyond useless in that mode.
>>124036086
Yes.
You still have to go through Uplay when you buy it on steam.

anyone here playing on the xbone?
Anyone on PS4? Let me know so we can party up.
>>124038192
There's different PvE modes. There's regular terrorist hunt with a fixed amount of terrorists on each map. The one you're referring to is Disarm Bomb where your team has to disarm two bombs on the map and fend off the AI.
>>123988239

The original Rainbow Six was so GOAT.
>>124046709
Yeah I got that impression too. Though I don't know how well it would've went, the mechanics seem build exclusively for pvp.
So when is Rainbow Six: Patriots coming out
>>124043472
>>124046709
>>124047232
Siege was built on top of Rainbow Six: Patriots, which would have played more like GRAW or the more recent Rainbow Six games. Patriots featured a storyline featured a domestic terror group called "The True Patriots" intent on bringing the Wall Street elite to task for fucking over the world in the recession. Going off that framework, it'd be easy to assume the white-masked jackasses gassing Not-Harvard would have been the fucking La Li Lu Le Lo themselves.

Fucking this. I find myself double-taking ALL the time when I window-peek or turn corners.
And I find myself forced to corner quickly, because more often then not, if you corner slowly, anyone who might have a line of sight on you will kill you faster than you can find them. Its really a lose-lose type situation when room clearing.

Use drone more if you aren't, you get a second one when action phase start, sit in a room on floor below/above or like two corner away from the object room and scout out to find where and how many people are in each room before you enter.
Both for attack/defending, fuck off to other side and wait for shit to go down. Like for attacker go to other side of the room that your teammate are coming to and wait till they engage them and then bust through the wall while everyone back turned.
When defending, go hide in some random room near enough to the objective like on 2nd floor when objective on the 3rd. Again wait for shit to go down and just run upstairs behind all the attackers and blow them out with autoshotty or smg.
>>123996873

>>124070652
You get matched up with whoever you get matched up with.
>>123985654
I keep getting this too. This is bullshit. I losing all the renown I've earned in that match, and it's happening every damn match.
>>124069852
You're the one bitching about having a hud. If you're so pro and into realism that you think the hud is unnecessary you shouldn't have any issue turning it off. I played MGO with no hud and still did pretty well. Don't act like the hud is hindering game play and then say turning t off is a disadvantage.
So why are people mad this doesn't have a campaign?
I remember Vegas 1+2 had some shitty ones
Did Raven Shield have a story I forgot about?
>>124028850
I think Recruit is going to be the Meta bro. You aren't pro if you can't play with the bare minimum :^{)

German uniform update when?
Britfag here, was going to grab this off G2A for £25.36. Then I considered gold.
Saw >>124037045 checked out nuuvem, realised it's Brazilian funny money. Gold edition is R$149.99 which converts to £25.97. I've never used anything other than G2A, let alone outside EU.
Assuming it all goes well through paypal and I get my key, are there any region blocks or problems I might encounter? It's a better option than Steam at £69.99.
>>124082343
Nuuvem have been cracking down hard on people buying shit outside of brazil recently, you could get fucked.
Otherwise, it's all international. My code came with some foreign speak bullshit on it, on the off chance that you get an e-mail about it (which you won't), just say you picked it up abroad.
which was the worst r6 to date?
i feel like it was critical hour but i hear some good number say it was vegas
>>124082797
I liked Vegas, it was a solid 3ps with some neat features. It was no rainbow game, but it was >fun.
The worst was probably lockdown.
>>124079076
I am not in Australia you dingus and you don't know what projecting means cause clearly I bought the game and am enjoying it.
>>124082797
Anyone who says Vegas 1/2 were bad is a big no fun havin gaylord. They weren't amazing R6 games, but boy were they fun tacticool shooters.
the people calling the Vegas games bad are the same grognards thinking Siege would be better if there was a 10 minute planning phase.
>>124084559
The Seige planning phase is trash. Needs to be about 10 seconds longer, it's barely feasible to deploy all your shit in that time in the same room.
>>124084670
45 seconds is more than enough to fortify and deploy everything you need. If you're not done by the time the action phase starts then someone on your team needs to get their shit together.
>>124085146
If you've got a rook (which you should), knock 5-7 seconds off that for everyone to grab some armor.
I'm routinely still fortifying during the actual attack phase, which is fine because the guys take 20 seconds or so to actually get in, but it means I can't check the cams and reduces the defenders to campers.
>>124082507
Well it was worth a shot. I can get to the checkout but when it brings up the paypal window, for some reason it doesn't accept my pass. I know it's right and it works fine if I go through paypal in any other tab.
I've tried disabling Hola when I get to the window but it still keeps throwing me off, eventually it says unable to complete request.
Bullshit.
>>124085472
I don't really know why you want the gold version anyway. Free operators? By the time they're out, you'll have more than enough money to buy them anyway.
Besides, the game did pretty shit, it's fully possible Ubi will just cut funding and not release any DLC.

Did it though?
I'm seeing ~10k players at most times of the day on steam + however many are on consoles.
>>124085990
10k is kinda painfully low, considering it'll probably only go down from there.
>>124086195
>>124085990
10k considering that most of the cheaper shops are selling direct uplay keys
>>124085990
10k is atrocious. They were expecting FC4 numbers, and they're making Evolve numbers.
Even if you assume most people are using their graphics card bundle keys or key sites, it's still a joke, and it's already hard to get into a game in off-peak hours.
>>124086807
>I can't find a game on my ps4 when mommy told me I should be sleeping ;-;
>>124086909
I'm playing on PC. The second it hits midnight, all the kids go to bed, and it takes 5 minutes to find a match.
>>124086976
Really? Cause I just played last night. Had one hiccup where it was on 'searching for opponent' when there were only 3 of us in the teammate screen, backed out, rejoined, match in 45 seconds.
>>124085990
How many are playing on Uplay though?
Is Siege like Vegas or Vegas 2 at all? I loved co-op Terrorist Hunt in those games with my brother and dad even despite the aimbot AI.
> tfw 1shot by spas-12
>>124086195
10k on steam puts it firmly in the top 30 games being played on all of steam globally. That's similar placements to Warthunder, Rust, Football manager. It's miles clear of Skyrim, Rocket league and COH2. That's pretty good considering. Games like dirty bomb are hovering around 4k at the very most. Considering most people who bought from key re-sellers are uplay only, that's pretty damned good. I think it would be not unreasonable to say there are somewhere between an extra 50%-100%of players not on steam.
> it's still a joke, and it's already hard to get into a game in off-peak hours.
I like in one of the smallest regions (Aus) and can get a game right now at 4:15 in under 2 minutes.
>>124087389
It has terrorist hunt yes, I think its pretty nice. Taking away the regen health like Vegas had makes it feel like you need to be much more careful.
>>124087504
10k ON LAUNCH is very bad. You expect around 40k, minimum.
It's supposed to drop off to 5-10k. Not start there.

Help me /r6g/.
Do laser sights work with shields? Hell, do they work on anything?
It'd be a lot of fun to get perfect headshots without ironsights.
>>124091818
They give you a hip-firing accuracy boost, but sadly it is only about 10% better than going without. If you're rolling with a shield, a laser is essential, but your aim is still the shittiest on your team.
How do we improve this general we definentely need more traffic
>>124085472
Turns out the problem was having security keys enabled on my phone. Deactivated it, went back and ended up buying gold version for £27. For once Brazil ended up being a useful meme. Ariba!
>£69.99
Never paying full price again, ariba ariba!
When are we going to be able to to use whatever weapon whenever we want?
>>124093792
I was just thinking this. We need memes for the picture. I go to generals that ive never been bothered checking out before because the OP looked interesting, and when I went into the thread to actually look at the picture, they turn out to be hilarious.
>>124094338
Maybe we should take OP's pic and edit it for Christmas? I'm thinking a soldier in a santa hat giving out presents instead of holding a gun.
I have 110 ping every fucking game and it's driving me nuts
Is Siege worth it
>>124097724
I only paid $25 for it and it's okay
>>124097724
I got it for free with my gpu, enjoying it.
I wouldn't pay the $80 (Lol Canada) asking price for it though.
>>124098007
Same. Bought a 970 over black friday. Great deal, as I was thinking of buying Siege anyway.
Goddamn it 4chan, why don't more of you play Siege?
Live /r6g/, live damnit.
>>124100692
How easy is it to mod the earlier games, Raven Shield in particular? You could probably get some mileage from that.
Worst comes to worst, /r6g/ can be expanded into a tactical shooter general, which basically means /r6g/ plus Ghost Recon and SWAT 3/4.
Got this game yesterday. Im most certainly new to this style of game. I had the Vegas2 on 360. But this is a little different. Im trying to get better. Ive done some of the turorial, and some multi. Fucking loving this game. If you see me, and I suck plz know Im not trying to suck.

Hey /r6g/.
I've been playing Siege for a while now and i'm having a blast.
However, there are some things i want to clear up.
1) Is there any way to see placements of defenders cams and/or possble spawns for bombs/hostages? SOmetimes i meet that particular spawn for the 1st time and i dont know how to get a floor higher to place charges there/reinforce the entry point, thus wasting my time.
2) How do i reduce that bloody smoke and dust from shooting surfaces? I swear to god, this shit is worse than flashbangs.
3) How does Pulses heartbeat sensor works? I feel like it has too short of a range, or maybe i'm using it wrong?
Should I buy this or Just Cause? I don't have any friends that would play with me. Would it still be worth $40?
Why does siege crash so much?
>>124105453
do you want tacticool action or casual "go blow up stuff"? if you don't have friends you can just make some in-game or here. game's pretty good imo
>>124096575
Protip hardwire your router to your console also stop buying shity Internet
>>124105635
Only it doesn't. Must be something client side for you. Far as me and my friends are concerned, current build is stable as can be.
So, how much is this game like CoD?
I don't know much about it and it seems to be getting pretty good reception so far, barring the bugs, but is it actually "tactical" or just CoD with character classes?
Alright, let's do this.
>God Tier
Rook, Thermite, Fuze, Mute
>High Tier
Montagne, Castle, Ash, IQ
>Mid Tier
Blitz, Kapkan, Glaz, Thatcher
>Low Tier
Tachanka, Doc, Smoke, Castle, Jager
>Shit Tier
Twitch, Pulse, Bandit
>>124110250
I don't even know all their names 2bh
>>124110250
>Castle in both high and low tier
Nigga what the fuck are you doing
What's up with the F2P shit in this game? Is it just cosmetics?
>>124110843
Cosmetics and boosts. You can buy a boost to get +50% renown earned.
>>124110250
Ash and IQ deserve mid tier at best. Jager is definitely high tier as he can completely negate a bunch of different conventional siege attempts using any kind of grenade (even as far as making Fuze's ability useless at times).
And bandit can definitely be put up there at High as well due to the fact that you can make a load of choke point that deal a fuckload of damage to careless enemies. Very useful ability.
>>124110250
>>>Shit Tier
>Twitch,
She's literally Glaz plus a drone that shits all over shitters.
Killing someone with a fucking tazer literally never gets old. It's unbelievably fun, jumping in and out of them while they miss all their shots.
>>124109559
Not at all
>>124110250
>castle is high and low tier
U fokin wot m8
Fuck the unskippable ubisoft nvidia intro shit. You cant even alt+tab out and wait, it somehow knows and pauses it until you get back in.
Absolute niggers.
>>124112181
go to games folder, there's a folder named "videos"
inside a folder named "startup"
delete/rename it (i have mine as "startup3")
No more intro videos for me
http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/rainbow_six_siege/news/rainbow_six_sieges_dlc_operators_will_take_25_hours_each_to_unlock_if_you_dont_pay_for_them.html
What the fuck is this shit? There is git gud buy holy fuck 25k? I knew jewbisoft would fuck up the game some how
>>124113426
eh, if you are gonna play it regularly, its not gonna take long to get these 25k, especially after you unlock the base oper8rs
>>124113793
You cant seriously defend this? Maybe 2500k or 1500 but fucking 25k or 3.99 I swear if we werent getting those free maps ubisoft should be going bankrupt fucking fags
>>124114104
i dont think they are gonna release them all at once, maybe 1-2 at a timeand 2500k>25k
>>124113426
>Operators added after launch will be available for 25,000 Renown each, reflective of around 25 hours of gameplay.
>Data collected by the development team suggests that FPS players tend to spend around 8-10 hours per week playing their favorite game, meaning it should take between two and three weeks of regular play to unlock a post-launch operator
Of course they're using le normie hours of 8-10 hours a week. Someone who plays frequently can obviously bang them out in less than 3 weeks. The first set of operators come out next month, then a new set in April. You're obviously going to be accumulating a lot of fucking renown between those months.
>>124106829
I like tacticool bullshit. I put probably 100 hours into Vegas 2, and maybe 50 into Swat 4.
>>124112574
Cheers buddy.
I just did situation 7, and after going through the level slowly and methodically removing all the bombs, taking over 20 minutes, I fell from the roof trying to absail through the window to kill the last 2 guys...
>>124115554
cheers man
situation 7 is BOOLSHIT
in regards to "do it under 5 mins"
last situation iskind of bullshit too, cuz there is always 4 to 5 guys at extraction point
>>124100692
Because it's just another Call of Duty clone you can't fool me Ubishill teehee.
How do I call in a UAV?

>wtf
>Enter the game with the default asshole with no time to change to another operator or even change my retarded loadout

I fucking do, there arent that many in the first place. I have the more useful, popular operators so ofcourse theyre the first to get picked.

>Baww why do I hav to play gam?
I'm glad I don't have ADHD and I've been doing fine with 3 operators for offense and defense.
Anyone got some webms to share? Pic related, not a super impressive play but I haven't made a webm in a while so felt like uploading.
>>123985454
Actually am i thinking of buying Siege after playing in the beta, are shield-carrying operators still strong?
>>124121802
As in?
Do they block bullets?
Yes
Hipfire is luck based as fuck though, I've point blanked people with the pistol while shielding and missed half my shots, while sometimes you can get a one shot headshot.
>>124121802
They nerfed the accuracy of the pistols when you're not ads'ing, but other than that yeah
>>124122337
It's a good tradeoff IMO, shield guys work really well as aggro turtles and the gunfire, innacurate as it may be, pretty much forces enemies to engage you intead of your mates. I've helped clear a lot of rooms by just waddling in with my shield and drawing attention towards me and firing randomly. That's why I go with the higher capacity pistols, they're a better tool than a weapon.
>>124122693
Oh yeah I totally agree with you.
I just don't know why when something requires more strategy than to just shoot it center mass, the community shits itself about it being OP.
>>124121802
Apparently you can shoot through the vision slot of a shield and damage the user.
Favorite operator videos??
So far mines Kapkan. I'm russian so I'm biased, but the music is too good
>>124128141
kapkan video was top tier
