I edited some OP links to what I think are the most current / relevant, do share if you think other changes should be made.
Siege X Showcase: March 13th, 2025 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm CET
I'd expect next season to be +- a few days of the showcase.

It seems /vm/ board rules were updated at some point to accommodate generals, so next thread can be labeled as such.

previous >>1444718

>>1654977
really ugly character design and stupid hair.
Hope they have the decency to let us cover her up like with sens

>>1654977
I think the criticism of Ubisoft is a bit overblown, it only took them ten years to research & implement working doors.

I thought I was still on /vm/ with the other thread kek

>>1655491
She's cute, in-game looks prettier
They can't do pre-rendered videos

>>1655575
And it's not even a real door. The devs can put in actual doors, but they don't for gameplay purposes. Then you also get stuff like this

>>1655381
>thread lasted 5 months

>>1656529
here's to another better(?) 5 months of siege

>>1655491
>stupid hair
>it's just braids

How is siege in 2025? Is it still worth playing?

>>1657657
Yeah it's amazing, just turn off the text chat

Where is the season at

>>1659762
Tomorrow at 16

Y10S1 is just around the corner, and with mixed feelings, we must say goodbye to the DX11 graphical API as Siege will imminently step into its new era.

>>1654991
Is siege too dead for vg?

>>1659942
not too dead but its not really about player pop
cs is the biggest fps on pc and yet has no vg thread
neither does valorant but fuck that game

its just about who can keep their threads up
hard when there hasnt been one on vg for years

So Standard definitely doesn't care about MMR right? I never played it much until a few weeks back and wow it's refreshing lol. As a Diamond player I can mow through lobbies of mostly Unranked-Silvers. Of course they're on both teams, but it's good for a warm-up and ego boost.

>>1660019
Yeah ranked has its own MMR and hidden MMR as far as I know

>>1654970 (OP)
is it too late to get into this game in 2025

>>1660180
never too late bro, siege rolls on. hop in and SWING OR BE SWUNG

>>1660180
It's not the kind of game that ever becomes "too late" to learn, but keep in mind the ceiling is extremely high
You'll have fun nonetheless

>>1656661
Cute :)

>now even on /vm/ we're getting out-bumped

>>1660019
> Being so insecure and in need of an ego boost that despite being Diamond, you feel good about stomping on random Silvers basically still learning the game
Least insecure Diamond player. I bet you must seethe like crazy when the usual gang of sweaty, no-job-having 1.4 KDA Plats beat you with their autism strats

Y10S1 maintenance has started!

Patch Sizes:
- Ubisoft Connect: 3.29GB
- Steam: 3GB
- Xbox One: 3.5GB
- Xbox Series X: 3.7GB
- PlayStation®4: 3.50GB
- PlayStation®5: 3.02GB

>>1660019
Nope, every mode has a hidden SBMM/MMR, Ranked ranks don't actually matter, there is literally 0 point in caring about the icon that goes up or down, because chances are you'll get a random boost 3 weeks after playing a bad/good comp game because there was an unknown cheater in the lobby. I queue with a regular Plat/Em, and we get all sorts of ranks on the other team. Literally makes 0 difference. You could be Copper and queue with Champs.

They have an article regarding Celebration Packs. Looks like they're distinguishing between dup / non-dup packs.
>Celebration Packs containing duplicates can be unlocked in the free Battle Pass and with Renown
>non-duplicate Celebration packs from the Premium Battle Pass and Membership drops.
You vill buy ze Battle Pass(tm).

Did I dream it, or they nerfed Ram by taking away her side shotty? I swear I remember having soft destruction besides her gadget
Anyway Raoura just isn't doing for me yet. Maybe I need to work on some proper strats with a stack

>>1662555
>nerfed Ram by taking away her side shotty?
Yup that was a patch or two back. Too much destruction according to Ubi.
>Raoura
Both 2F bomb choices on Villa can be heavily affected by gadget. Lock down Study and that intersection at top red / statue / deer.
Ofc from the first teases, 3F Kafe has lots of potential.

>>1662701
lol. and i was just playing with someone named BurnAllJews and people can still easily type any word line-by-line. cool safe gaming environment ubi thanks for all these restrictions and warnings!

so there's a bug where everyone just has to abandon ranked lobbies because it gets bugged and doesn't move the timer. aalllriiiight

>>1662858
They're aware and working on a fix, they took out the penalties momentairly
How do you fuck up something this bad lol

>>1654970 (OP)
Jesus fuck bros, I haven't played Siege in about 6 weeks and I've come back this season just to warm-up for a few matches. I shit you not, in every single match I played, enemies were sweating their asses off and doing nonstop runouts/spawnpeeks.

I'll never understand this- what do people get out of treating standard like it's ranked? Do they like surprising inexperienced players, or players just warming-up and not totally locked in yet?

I guarantee when I met these same sweaty dickheads from standard in an actual ranked match, they'll all hide in the building and never once come out.

C'mon man. At this point in Siege's lifespan, I legitimately don't think it's even worth playing standard. You're better off just grinding out ranked and actually getting rewarded for your efforts.

>>1662940
Beginning of season = peak Ranked. Pros of various tiers, their buddies, and stacks are all grinding hard right now.

>>1662942
Honestly, even if they smurf, I'd really like to see a legit pro player like Beaulo or Shaaiko solo queueing for once. Would they get completely shit on or be hit with bad luck/timing that makes them seethe internally while their random teammates screech at them over the mic?

>>1662958
Shaiko not so much, but Beaulo solo queues Ranked on alt accounts (not "smurfs," in the strict sense, he regularly plays on them and they are obviously high Diamond / Champ MMR).
You learn to deal with it bro, not much else to say. If you're solo, there is always potential for 1-4 people on your team to be idiots throwing number advantages, making retarded decisions, or being genuinely toxic.
That's just on your own team, not to mention the cheaters that nobody is immune from encountering.
You play and move on to the next match.

>>1662940
I don't trust Ubisoft with my phone #

>>1662940
Lol as a Diamond player, I thought you were just being a whiny bitch about the sweaty faggotry in Standard. Earlier tonight I ended up getting spawnpeeked on Clubhouse when I was opening up logi hatch from a fucking punchhole some asshole made in the soft wall of the shipping container below. I've NEVER seen that specific punchhole before, ever. Not even against Champs in ranked. After I won the match, I looked up the rank of the niggerfaggot that did that gay shit- bro was literally only a lifetime Plat 4, 2 ranks away from Gold.

Who the fuck is feeding these tryharding kids in standard this shit?? Jynxzi? Pro league? These dudes need to get a job

>>1663963
I'm diamond and that peek is so common I check for it every time
Maybe you're on console or a different server region than me, I think strats like that tend to spread by people seeing other players use it

>>1662958
One of the most valueable skills you can pick up as a solo queue is to mute the second someone bitches at you, first offence.
Used to worry about missing call outs or getting TKed, but the silence is worth it

>>1663963
If it works, it works man. Defenders can spawn peek, and Attackers have a fair chance to kill them when they try. Can't callously sprint around. A quick pre-aim check once you know the angles that are exposed takes a few seconds, and then you continue on your way.
From recent game, a guy got me from the very common Chalet 1F Fireplace door peek. Fool me once... I got him back when he tried again. Learn, improve.
It goes both ways, when you get that first pick and shut down a spawn peek, it's a big boost for your team's chances that round. So those few seconds it takes to check spawn peeks is valuable.
Kiddos love to spawn peek Kafe and such thinking they're Spoit, boy am I great at shutting them down.

Do NOT play Siege in early mornings

Is there really no skin available for Rauora's Glock? Not even datamined?

>>1666863
Who the fuck cares, her glock is the worst gun in the entire game. It's recoil is somehow impossibly more challenging to deal with than both the SMG-11 and SMG-12. No idea what Ubisoft was smoking on this one.

>>1667019
Remember this message when you're in ranked and watch your Rauora that's last-standing panic and whiff every single shot with her glock on an incoming Cav that's charging at her in a straight line btw. :'^)

Haven't used Twitch in years due to Famas's recoil... I miss her so much...

Clash is getting a low taper fade lmao

>>1667950
sometimes you just say fk it and play meme guns bro. dmr is the obv answer tho.

So, uh. I don't play ranked. If I use a gyro controller do you guys think I'll get banned?

>>1670762
Don't think so

>>1670808
I use it a lot on a bunch of other games and have never gotten in any trouble, but I don't want anybody to think I'm running a XIM or some shit if they spectate.

>>1670832
who cares what players think. it's ubi's rules that matter, idk if they care about gyro controller, doubt it

>>1670869
I just don't know if people can spam reports and get you banned that way.

>start using Kali for the LV Lance gadget (counter wall denial)
>unintentionally hit clips with crazy multi-kills
wtf bros I'm starting to become a Kali main...
I'm ass with the BOSG but this sniper feels like OG MW2 Intervention days...

>>1672259
Kali in duo is peak fun

>played on and off since release
>stopped for ages whenever Alibi came out
>played a bunch last year then dropped it
>started playing again recently in prep for Siege X
Bros why is this the only game that takes me like 2 fucking weeks to re-acclimatize to. It just feels so different from every shooter, my aim is legit copper level and I have 0 confidence in my movement

Predictions? Hopes? Fears?

New graphics look great

These niggas can't play

I hate zoomer ecelebs

>>1672918
Like you say it's different from every shooter. Lock in and git gud.
If you are tired of getting slammed by real players, you can go against the advanced AI bots. Their TTK is about as fast as any Gold+ PC player will aim and kill you, sometimes even less forgiving, so it's good to dial you in.

Liking the new mode honestly
But it definitely needs some kind of rewards, otherwise it won't hold players

i'm kinda busy so stream is just playing in background for me. so def & atk ops are mixed in some game mode? and interesting new maps

>>1673554
Yeah, and you can play outdoors too
There's also seasonal objectives

So is Siege X just this new game mode? Any other new changes? Better anti-cheat?

>>1673561
Siege X is Siege but fully reworked (graphics, audio etc.) also having new modes such as the one broadcasted
They only talked about the new mode so far, the S2 (and onwards) changes will be talked about later
Also it's getting free-to-play

I got the closed beta access, nice

new lighting looks good

no other drops besides the beta access right?

New mode is over, time for the base game updates

>>1673608
Nope

Better anti-cheat, FINALLY

When is this releasing? I haven't played Siege in years.

>>1673681
June 10

When can we play the beta for the new mode?

>>1673722
It's live already if you got a code, ends in 1 week

You have two choices my dear son
>shoot enemy in head, ensuring his demise
or
>shoot pipe next to your foe, confusing them a little

They really paid every retard on twitch to watch to play this thing huh
This must have squeezed ubisofts marketing budget dry

It's still not generating the key for me. Anyone got it yet?

Right now, R6 is on steam for sale for $4 and was curious I should buy it, they announce the game is going to be F2P? I have already played the game on console, so I have all the ops

>>1674697
Only the ranked modes will be unavailable.
Honestly for 4€ just buy it tbf

>new graphics
>literally just the lighting and graphics before they appeal to esports fags and made everything look like fortnite 5 years ago
?

Lads I'm so hyped

Seriously though the endurance of Siege and continued dedication is awesome. Iterate, keep things fresh, adjust based on player feedback, and try to stick to a core gameplay identity / principles.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, my friends and I were into Destiny 2 for some time. Very different game I know, nonetheless I HATED the devs, and hated basically every move they made through the game's life. That shit was just assfucking players left-and-right and doing the opposite of fan / veteran service.

>>1669211
Humiliation ritual.

Why is Assault on Hereford suddently available again?

>>1674738
It didn't live up to the hype for me either, but at least I lost a solid 80 FPS from 288 to 200. Now I have to play locked at 143 again, thanks ubi.
Also, not giving us at least a singular map to play 5v5 on is a complete joke. Not sure what they were thinking there.

Eh, Dual Fronts is ok for a different flavor of gameplay. Lots of core mechanics are slightly different (movement, DBNO, etc.), and I think there are cons to bigger maps like more camping. Idk not gonna spend too much time playing and I think beta is over tomorrow anyways.
Anyone else think the high-res wood textures are almost kinda distracting? picrel

>>1681928
>Anyone else think the high-res wood textures are almost kinda distracting? picrel
I'm a consolecuck, can you post any png? I'm curious

since when is blackbeard packing a shield rifle combo wtf

>>1655491
Yeah every character should come with the option to cover their face up and make them generic tacticool. I basically never play characters I can't do this with

>>1682877

i like how ubi's site always says servers are ok when they're not :^)

This game is still consistently getting over 100k players on Steam, wow.
I've stopped playing in Op. Health, I think I was very near diamond at the time.
Would it be worth to reinstall? I remember enjoying the cheese (killing people through bullet holes) and such but there were so many damn cheaters...

>>1685127
>enjoying the cheese
lol, I hated that stuff and am glad they removed a lot of it. You can't see through bulletholes anymore, just punchholes.
Still a million sneaky things like that you can do though.
#1 reason to give it another go atm is that they've added some fun new operators. Cheating is still a big problem

>>1685127
>over 100k players on Steam
Thank zoomer console streamers.
>Would it be worth to reinstall?
Yeah man it's still Siege. Plenty of changes have happened and are still to come. I'm enjoying the season. Bad news there are still cheaters, it fluctuates. In the last 2 years there were serious problems which have been stamped down and it's better now overall

>The Seven must take down a rogue faction of Team Rainbow in an all-new crossover event: The Boys x Rainbow Six Siege.

>>1685127
>This game is still consistently getting over 100k players on Steam, wow.
and that's excluding the console base + Ubishit Connect people

does anyone have the picture with blackbeard looking in the window while rook is crouched behind a chair from aqua teen hunger force

>>1685505

>>1686526
cheers mate

>>1685127
I've just redownloaded it, other than being bombarded by a brown woman in the operator screen without any way to change it why the FUCK can't I disable crossplay? Are you forced to play with mentally impaired niggers on PS4 now? On settings crossplay can only be set to "On"

>>1689685
Forgot to ask, is Renown still a massive pain in the ass to farm? I've got 4k right now and I'd like to unlock two operators.

>>1689688
Pretty much the same as before, however boosters are MUCH more common and easy to obtain and operators get their prices slashed each season
For the crossplay: it can be disabled on console, not sure if they fixed it on PC yet. They're aware of it though

>>1689685
>without any way to change it
each season the new addition gets its own animation on the main menu screen. since she just released, we'll have her until june - except when the new events kick off, which we'll be having a static artwork of the related event instead.
with siege x it seems like the operators will have the same animation but it'll change randomly so who knows

ADS time has been increased 10x, people are just as retarded but no one writes or talks anything, feels really weird.
And you can't see people's profile anymore so I can't even trash talk my retard team, what the fuck.
>>1689693
>prices slashed
I want Nokk and the defender hime cut asian chick, they're 10k each which is a lot.
This sucks.

>>1690783
>And you can't see people's profile anymore so I can't even trash talk my retard team, what the fuck.
Install the R6 Tracker thingy
>they're 10k each which is a lot
It's not a low amount but it's not as much as you think actually, make sure to play the non-quick gamemodes and you'll have them sooner than you think. Unfortunately 10k is the cutoff price so they won't get any lower

>MaceJay drama
he's going to do it this time, he'll kill himself

Is playing with suppressors viable at all? Hibana's gun recoil is so damn hard to control with it.

>>1693132
>Hibana
>suppressor
well fuck no, not on that gun.
it's viable on guns with inherent low recoil. few examples: L85A2, Para 308, V308, T-95 LSW, P90, UMP45, 9mm C1, etc.

>>1693132
Definitely NOT on that gun

Brava's elite skin is releasing today

How the fuck is Fenrir fair?

>>1694542
just drone bro :))))

>>1694775
I see... he's ""balanced"" :)

Also what is this ridiculous reputation system? I can't get a single other negative rating if I want to reach the highest status? Seriously? And out of those 15 points I have TEN were because people didn't forgive obviously accidental kills???

>>1695200
It'll decrease with either time or matches played

YOU CAN SELL YOUR SKINS NOW LOL

>>1695261
sheeesh i wonder if i have any of those to sell

>2 years ago
What the fuck happened? Also, once Ubisoft goes under and a Chinese company takes over R6 will Osa and Tubarao be officially CIS?

How do the store promos work? Is it not a weekly rotation?
I tried searching about it but all I've found was https://siege.gg/news/ubisoft-adds-elite-bundles-discounts-in-rainbow-six-siege-to-celebrate-assassins-creed-shadows-release
That leads me to believe that there's no weekly sale for Elite bundles, but then nothing in the store ever goes on sale unless something extraordinary happens?

>wow I wonder why we're getting absolutely dog piled on
>i die early

>>1696782

>>1696131
>How do the store promos work?
Eh it's fairly random. Older elite bundles get temporary 20% discounts from time to time.

>>1696131
From what I understand, there's something "highlighted" every week, however it doesn't necessairly mean it's discounts. It could be new bundles (like these weeks with the Boys and Elite Brava stuff)

>>1661141
Contrary to the popular belief, it’s EOMM, not SBMM. Skill based matchmaking hasn’t existed in a long time. Engagement optimized prioritizes player retention rather than similar skill level. Explains why you get tryhards one match and retards the next. It basically wants to give everyone a win. It’s like a bipolar roller coaster. Fuck Ubisoft for implementing it.

>>1695261
Where is this exactly? In the game or on a site?

>>1698968
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/rainbow-six/siege/marketplace?route=buy

>>1654970 (OP)
If Siege X doesn't introduce ranked 3.0 or seriously rework ranked 2.0, I'm gonna fucking riot. There's literally no point in playing ranked as a solo queue player currently because of the whole "Hidden MMR" bullshit. Ranked 2.0's matchmaker doesn't give a fuck how good you are, if you get deranked a single time during your grind, you'll get fucked up the ass because the matchmaker will automatically decide you belong in whatever rank you just fell out of.

With a consistently good stack, it's possible to grind through that and force the matchmaker to change it's mind. As a solo player? Hahaha, eat shit.

> t. Me, a salty solo that climbed to Diamond last season, deranked from Plat 1 to Plat 2 this season, and now Siege thinks I'm supposed to be fucking hardstuck Plat

>>1699073
Also, fun fact: After exactly 100 matches, the matchmaker FURTHER decides to lock you into whatever rank you're at, making it more and more likely you'll get hardstuck.

Who designed this bullshit?

>>1699079
>Who designed this bullshit?
The French.

Seems Siege is a high priority game and will continue to be around for years. Yay for that at least

>>1702710
Are there any siege youtubers that aren't zoomer amerimutt aberrations?

>>1662940
The best is when runout faggots go "oh bro I'm not even sweating, it's my first match of the day." Shut the fuck up you fat lying piece of shit. I can see your platinum rank with the stat tracker. I know you're coordinating with your discord group and doing callouts and organized rushes against a team that's soloQ and not even using comms. Yeah uh huh sure warmup my ass. I absolutely love the game but tryhards like that ruin every aspect of it and need to be banned. They bring their A game to standard because they got stomped in ranked by even bigger faggots then them and they couldn't handle it.

>>1665793
Why not? Is it the europoors and jeets combined with shitty netcode?

>>1699073
Why the fuck is this generation so opposed to making friends and teamming up with them? 20 years ago, I could hop on Xbox Live and make 5 new friends every hour. 10 years ago it kinda slowed down to 5 friends a day. Now?
>Fuck you, let's back out quickly before someone offers to team up.
God forbid we invest in someone, build some team chemistry and make the rank grind easier. Fuck that, let's just suffer endlessly in soloQ ranked diamond. Most of you truly aren't even introverted, you just haven't found the right friends and got tired of searching. At least with a /vm/ group, we can share some laughs and call the other team [flagged as offensive].

>>1704135
Nobody cares about how you and your gay butt-buddies e-dated back in Halo 3, gramps

Exactly why you are gonna die alone anon. There’s someone for everyone.

>>1704803
> Not having patience for random dickheads over a video game means you're going to die alone
???
Insanely retarded take, touch grass sometime bro

>>1704810
>Not having patience for random dickheads
Let's be real with ourselves, it's not random dickheads, it's all players and by players I mean all people. You zoomzooms don't have a shred of patience for anyone whether it's in a match or real life. TikTok has ruined you. You mash the next match button just as quickly as you rush to your car when your shift ends. Don't even attempt to make small talk with anyone because your dopamine receptors are burnt out.
>"the problem is with them, not me"
I've seen it dozens of times already, we share some laughs, have great coordination, everyone goes positive, we win the match, and "squad up?"
>zoomies disappear just as quickly as if I told them I voted for Trump
kek, most alone and virgin generation

>>1704135
>At least with a /vm/ group
You mean like the angry-for-no-reason butthurt fag who replied to you? That's kinda the reason we don't actively group up here. There are some chill anon, and then there are some (maybe just one) who are constantly antagonistic and confrontational. Hell no I don't wanna squad up with them.

Okay someone be real with me and not just
>lol skill issue
I can understand someone having better aim than you, I can understand someone outflanking and sneaking up behind you, but what I can't understand is how someone peeks a corner, scans a large ass room, spots you hiding behind a shelf, aims down sights, and domes you in the face all before you can even get off a shot while you are ADS and holding the corner. That's netcode, playing against someone from China, or hacks right? There's no way in hell someone is that fucking quick. I've never seen this bullshit in any other game. Also how are people spotting others so fucking easy? Low settings with 4:3 aspect ratio? Even if you pre-drone an area, you have a general idea of where they are, not the EXACT spot?

>>1706768
There are only so many places to be in any given room. Game sense and experience.
And also, yes, some people are genuinely that good at scanning. That's how a mechanic like Hashom peaking works, a split second scan to identify enemies while minimally exposing yourself.
Also, peaker's advantage. Always has been. In the scenario you stated, you are staying still, they are the one swinging. They have the several milliseconds advantage of seeing you before you can ever react. Basically as you mention, netcode.

>>1706768
>Low settings with 4:3 aspect ratio?
I'd say 4:3 is fairly uncommon in Siege. But as far as other settings:
FOV: 84-90
Game Brightness: >60
Graphics: Yes low everything, medium shadows. No post-processing.
Highest refresh rate, uncapped frames. Don't use any adaptive or V-Sync.
Lowering FOV can help spot things a little better if you don't have great eyes.

>>1706989
I have perfect 20/20 vision but I guess the graphics have gotten too realistic now? Idk. Seems like in the split second where I'm asking myself if that's a target I'm already dead. Also crazy how the meta is always
>turn everything down to low
I wanna enjoy my GPU man wtf. Game looks like ass on low.

>>1707080
if you wanna comp game, fps is king bro.
you can play cyberpunk or w/e else for graphics

or also you can just not care. it's a game at the end of the day, play and enjoy it with max graphics if you want

>>1706768
unironically skill issue + common prefire spot

Is this Jynxzi on coke or what? I've never seen a video of this guy before but he has 30k viewers right now and he looks super deranged.

Did the player base get swapped with Call of Duty? Nobody reinforces any walls and just wants to start shooting. I stopped playing around 2021. What the fuck happened?

>>1708883
Exactly why I wanna build a team with you autists. The average IQ dropped over the years. We could easily get into gold without struggling much as long as we coordinate and reinforce. Kick any faggots that fag out. Squad up with the chill anons.

>>1708883
As a relatively new player who started last year I think a lot of new players would rather not set up site at all than set it up wrong and be tk'd, or set it up in a suboptimal way. I try to set up site as well as I can but with some some bomb sites I would rather do very little than set it up incorrectly. I'm still learning the game and I should read up on site setups for maps where I'm not confident but I think simply not knowing what the most optimal setups are contribute to that issue. Also not to mention the gunplay is extremely satisfying on its own so as a former cod player I can understand why especially the younger players put too much focus on mindlessly shooting. Another theory I just pulled out of my ass is I think the player base is younger than you would expect, at least on console. The amount of prepubescent voices in chat is kind of staggering and cancerous at times. I came to siege hoping to get away from all the retarded children on cod after learning it was a more tactical game but that hasn't been my experience. Still love it though

>>1710304
When I started out in year 3, what I did early on was ask for advice when it came to setting up a site I was unfamiliar with.
Back then there were actual, human, English speaking adults playing this game, so your experience may differ a little.

Doki dropped new settings video, pretty good. picrel caught my attention as I've not heard of these Windows settings. idk if it's placebo or real af, but he swears by "Disable full-screen optimizations," which is interesting. I'll test it out later. As he rightly mentions for several settings, you gotta A/B test it on your own PC, sometimes shit varies.
Regarding Nvidia Reflex I agree with him. Simply On is a better setting than On + Boost. I've gone back and forth on various games with this setting and On feels smoother with less GPU strain.

>>1710304
Millennial boomer here. Consoles always had its fair share of squeakers since Microsoft introduced mics with Xbox Live. Doesn't mean anything but yeah kids are generally dumber than adults and you are better off avoiding them. You could kick them back in the day... not anymore with fucking matchmaking (another reason why its cancer).

You can't really fuck up site anymore because no one communicates. Just don't reinforce between sites or reinforce next to Mira window and you are good. If you have a shotty or impact, create some holes, reinforce where you think they will come, most players just do team deathmatch so it really doesn't matter. Invest in a good headset, maximize your FPS, and watch replays. Whenever I get stomped on, after I'm done raging, I go back and watch some matches. Try to copy what the stomper does to you and see if it works for you. What I noticed is that every attacker has a favorite line or path into site and when you know where they are coming from, it's that much easier.

>>1706989
Playing on low fov makes holo sight much better.

^ nigga who gets killed by people he couldnt even see 5 times per match

>>1712508
I kinda agree with him thou. You don't need an ultra high FOV since it's an audio based game first and foremost. You listen and then aim in that direction.

>>1654970 (OP)

Siege deserves better desu even if it is Ubislop. It sucks that bumfuck games like Counterstrike 2 is hovering over a million players while being a barebones bitch and Siege is like 50k while doing everything better than CS2. God I hate gamers so fucking much. Hell if we are bringing back 90s gameplay, Halo / Unreal / Wolf ET did it better and deserve a comeback more.

>>1714250
We are knee deep in the zoomer & FOMO brainrot era now more than ever. Most millennials are working and don't have the patience for sweatfests in the short free time that they do have to game. Most zoomers are addicted to battle royale or COD. And the nongamer crowd like streamer cult followers that stumbled into gaming - I call em the FOMOers - just consume and move on after a week because they never really cared. It's over.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Is there anything interesting about this game anymore or is it just 3-speeds running around with no frontlines, while they use their recoil scripts and near-lethal doses of Adderall flicking to everybody's heads like every other fucking online shooter in year of our lord 2025.

>>1708883
It's been like that since Season 2 practically.

>>1715716
It's the best FPS on the market atm

>>1715716
>>1715906
It's been 10 years since the game launched back in 2015. Back in 2015 most millennials were still in their 20s while zoomers were teenagers. Today most zoomers are in their 20s. We are playing with and against more zoomers than ever. Millennials only cared about objective. Zoomers only care about the TikTok shot so naturally they will hero shooter solo. It's not just the devs that make shitty games but also the brainrot gamers that poison it. I really do miss teamwork frens.

>>1716279
Millennials are the biggest retards that this planet ever birthed. Much rather play with zoomers than anybody else

>>1716281
How do you explain no one reinforcing site anymore and everyone roaming? It wasn't like this 10 years ago, not even 5 years ago. You brainrot zoomers treat every game like COD because you can't go 5 seconds without

Don't forget that adderall to sit through all 4 minutes of it.

back to your retirement home, old faggot

This actual subhuman thinks zoomers weren't the majority 5-10 years ago lmao

Because they weren't smoothbrain.
>Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to people born between 1997 and 2012.
10 years ago was 2015. The range was from 3 to 18 in 2015 with the median being 10 years old. No 10 year old zoomer was playing Siege in 2015, they were playing Minecraft. Whatever few zoomers did play Siege knew their place and kept their mouths shut which is probably what you should do right now. Listen to your elders, little man.

Does anyone know when this game goes free to play if we still need to buy ps plus to play online on PlayStation

>>1716430
It shouldn't, normally f2p games don't ever need it, but it might depend on how ubisoft handles the free version
Let's see in June

>>1718315
Cool

>>1654970 (OP)
Hi /vm/,
I have 48k renown or whateves who i buy i only really have the starter ones

>>1720854
idk the prices, but from newer ops first I'd say: Brava, Azami, Aruni, Ace, Mozzie, Nomad, Ying, Lesion.
Ace, Lesion, Mozzie probably easiest to use while being helpful.

>>1720862
Thanks

>>1720854
Lesion and Ace absolutely
Azami needs some thinking but if you learn her you'll always be picking her aswell

>>1705397
My theory is that this is a cultural thing, and it came about in part from a few things happening while gen Zs grew up:
Gaming getting way bigger, consoles being just as big as PC when it came to multiplayer so pretty much every zoomer got a console, and the advent of matchmaking with disbanding lobbies (this is the big one).
And I'm not even gonna get into the widespread use of social media and politicization after 2016 that resulted in the oversaturation of online interaction.
So the aftermath of that is: forums are dead, dedicated servers are dead, people have changed the way they think about strangers, and in 99% of games with matchmaking you are FORCED to change who you're playing with every 5-10 minutes. How do you expect people to connect or get to know each other in that short amount of time? It's just not gonna happen.

she's really fun to play

>>1725060
I love her
Just rework the gadget skins with Siege X already

how do i learn this game after not playing it for 8 years? i don't remember shit and almost every single teammate i get is a hardstuck bronze or silver with 100+ hours and they just roam
am i relegated to watching the 4 hour youtube video about site setups for every map until i learn it all?

>>1725165
fuck around in quickmatch/standard and just play ops you think are fun, knowledge of site setups will come with time

also tier lists mean literally nothing atp because every operator has a gun that kills people very quickly and every gadget does objectively help your team. like people say alibi and rook are shit but they're both still operators with guns that shoot and kill in less than a second

Fuzing the hostage will never not be funny.

>>1725165
Play together. Good coordination can overcome noob game sense / map knowledge. Drone and get in the map safely *together*. Stay close to obj with only small extension *together*. Crossfire, trade kills.

encountering cheaters very often recently *sigh*

>>1731516
where? i don't get any in quickplay/standard/copper

Don't forget to lock in your prediction, fags
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/esports/rainbow-six/siege/predictions/469

>>1731657
unfortunately everywhere. qm, standard, and ranked. real fun when a guy just SMG-12 spawnpeeks & vert floor kills the whole team

>>1725165
about the roamers, randoms don't really start playing site and doing pinches/holds until high diamond/champ rank. Until then its all just people trying to win as many straight fights as they can with better aim.
I recommend a character with an acog, to hold down as much of the site as you can with long angles, and little gadget setup, so you can do all 10 reinforcements yourself (think doc, rook, aruni)
it's frustrating but that's the community thank to 1shs run-and-gun being so effective

i miss drawfriends........

>>1732971
They just disappeared at some point

>>1718315
i wonder if anyone's ever going to be able to replace what beaulo really brought to the table.

>>1733244
glorious king stompn.
the odds of him fast tracking and winning tier 1 event like beaulo did is like 0.5% though.

I envy Americunts so fucking much. They get to play with other Americans, Canadians and the occasional beaner. Meanwhile I get:
>Turks, who refuse to communicate in English
>French, who refuse to communicate in English
>"French", who refuse to communicate in English
I'm not even joking, I've never met a Turk in my life, but after ~700h of Siege I think I discovered my lost Greek heritage, because all I want is to wall off Turkey and drown it all in piss.

>>1725060
Her skins need to appear on her gadget. Don’t know why it still shows as the default skin even when you have skins on

Maybe he said it wasn't intentional TK because he realized he fucked up.

>>1748633
Play it or don't bro. It's one of the more unique FPS and still has many players.
>aren't making any new weapons
There are definitely new weapons since 2018.
>phone number to play ranked
Rank is filtered to get better quality pool of players and reduce cheaters.
>new maps
Average players regularly ban out new maps in Ranked because they don't know the layout. Comp maps have been on a constant conveyor line for updates and reworks, notably 5 major reworks launching with Siege X.

Siege X panel this weekend

Sometimes reading back through old patchnotes really cements the fact that the devs don't understand their own game. If I didn't know this was real and you sent it to me today, I'd have thought it was AI generated.
>The Mx4 Storm with the 1.5x sight is a very fun weapon to use, and having an agile operator paired with it is a refreshing and interesting way to dethrone Jager’s high presence.

>>1749878
i like it with the holo b it's my favourite gun on defense

Is there any reason to keep paying this game on console without xim/cronus? Or should i keep getting raped with sandpaper?

>>1750806
as opposed to coming to PC and getting raped by soft / blatant wallers who also have recoil scripts? it sucks but you just deal with it bro. all players' experiences are ruined by cheaters.

>>1750806
Ironically, it's worse on PC than it is on console. PC queues are filled with console cheaters now (the opt-out is only on the console side, not the PC side) who are also using mouse and keyboard but have console recoil. So the objectively most advantageous way to play this game is to xim console.

>>1751057
That's the thing, the devs will not ban you for using mnk on console, they'll just put you on PC lobbies for a while

>>1751415
Yes, anon. Where you have half of the recoil of the actual PC players.

i'm glad i've played these predictions for a few years now.
now i know never to sports gamble.

>>1755016
I'm one prediction away from the skin, I'll be quite assburnt if I miss out on it

no way... if CAG beats either Brazilian team in grand finals that's insane

Got mine with CAG's win lol, good luck anon

i like what we've seen of her remaster so far, idk if it's official but i saw somewhere her shield will be adaptable like bb and she'll be a 3 speed without it

Siege X RoadMap + Y10Season 2 is getting unveiled in 1 hour exactly, don't forget to tune in

Why does she look old as fuck in these renders?

>>1757594
because she IS old as fuck by now, they've aged everyone from how long they've been in the game

any fixes to hitreg, or is it still in the shitter

Feels sad for CAG
Anyway I wonder how these venues smell

don't forget to actually redeem the rewards, if you've done the Predictions thingy for Esports.

>>1758456
thankfully Furia was a sure pick for the grand final

>>1757569
>Y10 Roadmap
Pretty hyped bros.
Self-shadows, modernized maps, movement & rappel tweaks, audio overhaul, in-game stats tracker.
Electricity changes and various ADS nerfs are interesting, we'll see how it plays out.
>ADS nerfs
All ops can't hold ADS while hopping out / dropping down from height. Shield attackers can't hold ADS while mounting over half wall / window.

>>1757898
better than you'd normally expect desu but you're still packing a bunch of people into a tight venue so

>>1757667
They did? The models looked pretty close to live siege in the siege X beta

>>1760124
they put out a bunch of skins with them aged up, like maestro and doc for example

>>1760309
Wonder if they will start releasing skins with updated models for every operator that has a skin released in siege X

>>1760375
I think models will get reworked every time we get an operator rework.
So, during season 4, Thatcher will most likely get a facial rework to make him fully middle aged

character model reworks for lore(?) while we have rick & morty, master chief, and pizza-head mozzie running around. balriiight

55 battle pass levels to do in 19 days, should be doable

Okay, for real. Is it possible to get into Siege at this point or is it like DotA where you're entrapped for life if you played it at launch but only in that case?

>>1764646
It's very much possible, yes. Especially if you don't play ranked (don't worry, you won't lose "fun" by avoiding ranked).
If you want to play competitiviely (ranked and the other weekly tournaments) then you'll need a few hundred hours under your belt and a couple teammates to communicate with.

Just learn the fundamentals of most operators, LEARN THE MAPS INSTEAD OF BANNING THEM, always have a mic available and you'll have tons of fun.

Siege X - June 10th

>>1764646
Siege X is bringing more player on-boarding content and game-ified progression to show new players the ropes without needing to match-make and feel like you're tanking your stats before you're "ready." Even right now there are pretty solid training modes to warm-up / learn maps & enemy positions.
Never a better time to get into Siege. Constant influx of new players, so even when you do match-make you'll mostly encounter similar skill level noobs.
Like anon says, when we're talking about reaching higher ranks though, no real shortcuts. You need experience, repetition, and memory to learn the various operators, map layouts, common angles, default strats, and mic call-outs.
I don't know Dota intimately, but from what I gather, Siege maintains more stable balance with less FOMO. Siege's core starting operators are still highly viable and often played, and there is less "meta-chasing," in Siege than Dota.

I hope they don’t update the models. I don’t want half the women in the game to be middle aged or grannies

>we want the cod/valorant zoomer audience

>>1769899

Do Cav's pistol kills count as gadget or pistols? iirc they change it every couple years for no reason

>>1774468
yeah idk either. maybe interrogation counts as gadget / melee, but not the pistol outright.

do people even care about dual front? i don't lol

>>1776073
I'll play it once every new season then go back to normal ranked lol

Yeah I'm thinking I like the smoke guy. The whining only made me more interested in getting better as him. as A new player I'm a bit confused what in the past could have caused this dude to have such an adverse reaction?

>>1776432
Also AMA,
and anons use this opportunity to impart good/shitty advice in a new install. I'm just getting into the game.
If there is one thing you could tell/warn a new player what would you tell them?

>>1769899
The game already jumped the shark a long time ago, but still.
Wish there was a setting to turn all cosmetics off clientside. (or even a mod, but those are haram.)
yeah the operator abilities are farfetched, but keeping the cosmetics grounded would have made the game a lot more immersive and appealing since you can suspend your disbelief for the wacky tech. but shit like picrel and the vid is just terrible.
almost all the gun skins make the guns look terrible and don't feel like something a person would actually put on a rifle. No subtlety and no tact.
Maybe there's an alternate universe where r6 kept it's original style...

>>1776432
glaz is cool. he's objectively not that good but he's not too bad. his primary dmr is good, bearing 9 is always a good secondary pick, and smokes are a must have if you pick him so it's good he has them

>>1776437
first piece of advice is that glaz is surprisingly good in a lot of situations, but also get comfy enough with every op in general and you'll realize that he himself is actually really good at running people down and being aggro
always run the bearing on him.
second, while you get into the game at the start, its cool to have a "main character" per se but slowly realize that that's not exactly how this game works, you play less of a "main character" and more of a "main role" so more in the sense that glaz is part of the cards in your hand.

am i the only one who likes to play this character?

>>1777137
He got better with the latest balance patch but I still don't like him, there's just better alternatives around. Doesn't help that the "smoke" is bright blue whihc I hate

>new operator added 9 years after launch
>instantly BTFOs gigacuck harry and the weird ass esports lore thing with him

>>1778416
gameplay wise i love how hard he utterly fucks cav, and the vendetta is so good.

I want doc to give me a prostate exam so bad

new player here i got 20k renown so i can get 2 10k operators which ones should i get? one from attack and defend if possible

>>1783808
Just pick someone that you think looks or plays cool. That's all that really matters, and you get renown pretty quick in any case. I thought Mira and Alibi were really neat, so I picked them up before anyone else. Dokkaebi was cool because of her shotgun, so I bought her for that alone.

they're both viable, actually

>>1784756
*sprints past the fire with minimal damage*

>>1784756
eh, some maps & sites much better than others.

>>1783808
atk: dokk, ace
def: fenrir, lesion

>>1784756
Is glaz still considered bad by lowbies?
everyone em and up knows how good he is for smoke plants
also 3 speed with great secondary + nades

Chanka with the 2.5x is okay, but I think there are better options almost anywhere you'd use him, namely goyo

>>1784955
this guy knows what he's talking about

>>1787272
i like to use tachanka for area denial because he just seems more versatile than goyo to me, only real problem is the fire radius

what i do is i place a shield and hold a power position and just keep shooting out carefully placed nades where they want to come in

also if all else fails switch to bearing 9 or your literal fulll auto dmr

2 days till siege x

>>1789580
ironically you posted one of the few tricks no longer possible in siege x now that they've nerfed falling ads

btw don't torture yourself by playing on the test server it's died completely + half of the lobby will be gone by round 2 lol

>>1783941
fuck i hate the bosg. it's really fun though

It's honestly too hot for playing

>>1790819
Siege isn't even that demanding thankfully. Ironically as we discuss that, apparently Siege X requirements are bumped up a bit. Too bad for toasterbros

>>1790939
yeah you need Windows11 to run High settings now

>>1791650
if that's really real then gay. who cares tho i'm on le pro gaymer low shit for frames anyways lol

>>1790966
downright peculiar...

>Some guy yelling about shitty teammates in pubs
He’s going to have fun tomorrow when the FTP wave comes in

It's out

Well guys, I guess that's it...
Hopefully this doesn't end up killing the game but I predict year one Siege problems all over again, queue operation Health

w00t w00t new season let's gooooooo

eh doesnt really feel that different
fucking hate the new ban system though
feels like it slows down the game banning every fucking round like that

>>1794195
Coastline hasn't been reworked yet

i don't really care about him, but oozie has streamer charm now.
lmk when king stompn has a charm

>>1794210

jfc ubi get your shit together. site has like 7 new articles up but it's so hard to get to the actual info
here:

>>1794195
>feels like it slows down the game banning every fucking round
Yeah I haven't played yet, but I see it in the notes... agree, it's overkill. Hopefully they adjust with feedback. Normal ranked shit doesn't need more bans and to be even slower than pro league.

they need to remove the red outline around enemy ops. it makes me feel dumb and babysat

So the only rewards were a fucking badge, some shit op health (lmao) background and a fucking g36c black ice? Really?

where do I find my boosters now? I'm lost

will i get a lot of hate for not using a mic?

>>1795102
>hate
not really. you're just not contributing as much as you could. mic is encouraged

>>1795125
guess i'll go look for my old gaymen headset then since i use IEMs

Is the audio as bad as "people" on reddit are complaining about?

holy shit the menus are ugly as hell. Low res console looking shit. Reminds me of COD or something.

10yrs on and we have regressed.

SIEGE X SIEGE X SIEGE X
Lmao I suck so much after 1.5 years of hybernation
But what's funny I get thrown in some ridiculous lobbies with genuinely retarded players who have prolonged firefights with alibi prismas and can't destroy a default camera that's staring them in the face
wild

>>1795154
Audio is good now (finally)
Set it on hifi to remove compression if your hearing is good
TV and night mode is high compression for retards who can't judge the distance by volume and are generally bad at audio cues (it won't help them but it exists)
My only complaint is that ringing from explosions can be awkward, it feels like I was stuffed in a metal barrel and someone is farting vigorously next to me
Guess it's realistic but I wouldn't know, I never had someone fart next to me in a metal barrel

so, in the spirit of the new season, what's the likelihood i can get people here (NA Central/East, west still welcome) for a custom this weekend, saturday? 5v5 against each other, straight forward siege.

is siege still janky overwatch with operator games instead of CT sims and capeshit tier slop of a handfull of people being overqualified and doing everything?
>mira being a grease monkey was sexist
>give her 20 gorillion phds and make her the head of rnd

Scratch that. It will be fine for like a dozen rounds but then suddenly someone will full sprint across the map, get behind you and kill half your team while making 0 noise.

>>1795154
>>1795414
The sound is more thin and the directional sound is somehow even worse. Footsteps, explosions and window breaks all sound muffled.
Also banning ops mid round is fucking stupid.

>>1654970 (OP)
saw this game got a MU, i can't remember but is there any pVe content in the same vein as Ready or Not? would like to play some tactical game and Ready or Not is kinda dry atm.

>>1795804
>tactical game

>try to play this game
>get killed through an invisible 1mm hole by some sweat who has 2000 hours and knows every trick in the map

do people actually have fun in this game?

>>1795804
older entries in the rainbow 6 series are what you're looking for
this one is pvp latency-slop

>>1654970 (OP)
are perma bans lifted in siege x

>>1795768
it's great actually
you guess which site defenders will pick and ban operators which will be important there
then you target ban operators that were used in previous rounds
defenders can ban whatever threatens their setup
but they also can't completely fuck up the game by banning 3 operators before the game even started
I like it

>>1796232
unranked and quickplay (replacement for casual but shit) are free2play now, you can make a new account

>>1660180
If you enjoy getting team killed as a solo, sure.
This game is the most ironically DEI slop with the most restrictive language filters and ban penalties, but they've never fixed the team killing if you play solo.
Literally didn't touch the game for years, came back and my very first match I was team killed by some prepubescent group of boys screeching over voice.
Yeah they did a really good job about stopping those evil racists saying mean words about their horrid character designs.
But team killing? Something that will waste your time? Nah that needs a massively convolute mechanic of self damage etc; not the classic system of just "you're kicked and banned for 10 minutes"

>>1796363

Are there specific reasons you want to do that like amateur / lower-tier comp Siege? I think Siege community mostly interacts on x, discord, or twitch.

About sound. I've always been a Night Mode guy. I have great speakers, headphones, IEMs, DAC+AMPs, etc. and over 3k hours on Siege (I prefer IEMs).
Only been on Night Mode still in Siege X, will experiment with Hi-Fi later.
Things sound very different, that's obvious. It seems that more distant sounds have more presence, and they've added more "reverb, echo," effects to all sounds, whether near or far. This makes sounds a bit less distinct and artificially blown out as if everywhere is some echo chamber. As far as directionality, example of playing on a staircase, eh, in both old Siege and new Siege X there can be moments of doubt or confusion about is this guy pushing my same floor, or below, or above, etc. More or less the precision is on par (can I generally perceive proximity and direction of sound cues), but the mixing is definitely very different now. Need more time and listening, I'm personally not settled on it being definitively better or worse.

>>1796655
nice blogpost sister, what rank?

>>1796363
Dang guy you're mad as hell and I get that from being TK'd but they've done a lot to curb that. You're criticizing systems they've implemented, but those systems work. Yes, immature youth exist on any game and it's unfortunate. If you solo, it's a reality you face. You definitely don't have to solo. Playing Siege with friends is way more fun.

I don't know anything about R6S, what's the catch here?

because siege is fun, and i wanted to see if it was possible to get anons together to play each other

I don't like the new game mode at all, is this just some attempt at catering to zoomers? Does fortnite have a similar gamemode or something?

>>1796929
new game mode is for the cod audience

>>1796929
Nah, I think it's something they made for adhd kids and schizoid streamers (like Macie) who hate oneshot headshots

Watch out the micro aggressions bro.

never played this game cuz i was poor and it wasnt free, this new iteration of it is free right? is the new one good or did it go to shit?

>>1803546
game modes are F2P except Ranked. it's still Siege mostly. fresh coat of paint (and some bugs)

>>1695261
i got the onami skin, should I sell now or wait until it goes up again? never used the marketplace

Anyone else having crashes on radeon after the update? 9070 XT and the game ran fine before even with an undervolt. Crashed once after the update so I set my card to run at stock, seemed fine and now I just got a driver timeout again after playing for hours. I guess ubishit broke the game for amd maybe.

>>1803749
vega 56, running just fine

>>1803640

alright ty. imma download it on steam

>>1803749
been quite a few bugs after siege x. prob not anything you can do, just ubi's fault atm

They buffed Jager's gadget and that's cool but why the fuck did they nerf Jackal so hard he's basically useless now.

>>1804874
sound fake and gay got it you guys are in copium mode

>>1654970 (OP)
Is the update worth downloading? I stop playing a good 2 years ago

>>1806874
Yeah honestly been having a great time, it's modern Siege with the old, great feeling. There's plenty of more operators now so you'll need a dozen hour to get accustomed to the new stuff but you'll end up enjoying it.
Obviously don't get into the ranked experience if you aren't bringing at least one friend

>>1806895
>on't get into the ranked experience if you aren't bringing at least one friend
lol, i started on xbox in 2016, no friends, im used to it

>>1806913
You could hook up with some of us here if you want, they added a communication wheel so even if you aren't willing to use a mic there's some stuff that could be done

idk about plus im rusty, like i said, i havent played seriously in years

>>1806927
Aye take it easy bro, re-learn the mechanics and try to figure out the new stuff piece by piece

Is matchmaking fucked or something? Every round until this one was instant.

>>1809845
reset queue if longer than 3-4 minutes. likely just server issue at the time. should never take that long

>>1809155
it looks nicer

>>1809845
It's definitely 30 seconds longer here on console, mid/high plat level. It's taking around 1m20s to find a match
Anyway reset queue if it takes too long

dual front sucks lol. every second match I'm getting queued into some team that's getting fucked and missing a bunch of players who ragequit

An hour now spent trying to find a game of dual front. multiple 10 minute queues, restarts, getting into games that won't load, joining games that are 30 seconds from being finished etc

>>1812196
Yeah Dual Front ain't going anywhere atm
They need to go full schizo with the next events there

>>1811236
>>1812196
I haven't even tried this mode yet
not interested, at all

meh dual front is fine to switch things up.
being F2P, seems plenty of noobs play it so naturally you can't expect your team to be competent. solution: play with friends, same as in other siege game modes

Haven't played in a bit. A friend told me about the f2p update.
Do I really need to pay them again to get the full game?

>>1815455
No, it's only for newcomers

After randomly seeing videos of the characters criticizing each other's memes I gotta ask... is this game fun?

>>1818075
yeah but less so if you're always solo

hello, i'm new, i want to pump 5 kids into iana

>>1818345
this, but osa

>>1818345

>>1818075
ace is the resident obnoxious influencer of the operators it's just him dw

how do i start learning maps, camera positions and call outs? i can only play unranked now but i wanna learn in the meantime too to prepared for ranked

>>1820902
just play ranked. unranked is a waste of time.
some callouts are color / material (red stairs, marble stairs), prominent objects (piano, deer).
it's never necessarily wrong to by the room name as shown in game, usually shortened (logistics room -> logi).
there are youtube videos focusing on map callouts. any footage with stacks playing generally show team comms. watching pro league is ofc more serious (compared to meme youtubers) and gives you some insight when you're not actively playing

>>1821192
i literally said i cannot play ranked yet

>>1821194
k. yeah it's just play time in general unless you wanna study the shit like it's schoolwork lol

>>1821192
>marble stairs
>piano
>deer
I've never heard of these. What server do you play on?

>>1654970 (OP)
People still play ubishit crap. RON>Shit siege

>>1821414
marble stairs are the central bank stairs.
piano like the piano in 2F chalet.
deer is 2F villa bomb site.
NA servers

>>1823635
the ultimate game would be being able draft your own team of operators like with distinct abilities in this game, equip them with weapons that have the same level of depth and customization in RoN, and then plan meticulously plan out your assault on highly replayable maps like the old R6

so how soon should i jump into ranked when it's unlocked? i'm kinda shit, people keep mentioning ranked 2.0 but idk what the hell that is

>>1824679
i used to say ranked is dogshit but post siege x it's basically the same as unranked. at lvl50 you'll probably be somewhere in the copper skill level, try it out for the renown atleast

ranked 2.0 was kind of like tf2's meet your match as in it fucked the system and everyone hates it but i didn't play back then

this game has the most "whatever you're comfortable with" answers to gameplay questions i've seen in a competitive shooter

not complaining, i just find that interesting

Is there really no way to not see this strong melanated powerful kween whenever I boot up the game? I'm getting fatigued.

Banning shit mid match is retarded.

>>1820902
Custom games.
Most callouts are pretty obvious or are common to other FPS games (harry potter, zulu, 90, etc). When in doubt use the compass callout.

>>1818075
With a stack it is a 10/10 game
Solo it's like pulling out your fingernails

Any must-haves? I want to look drippy

>>1825379
>has the most "whatever you're comfortable with" answers
I agree and think it's great. Most operators, weapons, and HUD / game settings are pretty much down to personal comfort and what you perform best with. I prefer it like this over games where the meta feels restrictive and/or changes constantly.

>>1825798

It's annoying as fuck to get pulled out of cameras, not to mention the huge anti roam effect the sound has
Dokkaebi is a pretty common ban tho so don't be surprised when it happens 9/10 matches

why can't i invite my friend to play with me? ubisoft connect is so shit bro.

>>1825785

It is for me at least

i wish they'd have a 24/7 practice queue for each map in the game, kinda like those casual community servers in old CS where you can hop in, learn the map through repetition then quit whenever you want to

That's what you get for playing Capitao and not Montagne or Glaz or something for a rush plant

>>1831278
but muh fire bolts

>>1831283
Play Gridlock.

>>1831291
You can just shoot those

>>1831306
Not only do people rarely every bother with that shit (since there's so many to shoot), but needing to shoot them to move through means that if you place them with any amount of mental effort you'll always know when someone is coming. Which is arguably better than just keeping them away because you will have every advantage in the book when they move in

>>1831308
>Which is arguably better than just keeping them away
you have to take a gunfight for one leaving it up to chance. fire bolts are a guaranteed win and have virtually zero risk once the bomb is down.

>>1831312
Objectively speaking you're not wrong but fire bolts are just a timer. They buy you time. Gridlock trax buy you time in a significantly more substantial way, because it forces the onus of action onto the Defenders which is difficult. Not only that, but if they DO act, which should be a given, you're offered many more advantages in that gunfight than you are with one that takes place after the fire from the bolt fades away. The Defenders can just wait for the firebolts to fade out or run through, but with the trax they're forced into movement that puts them at a disadvantage and means you have a higher chance to pick off kills or scare them off better, which secures your win more thoroughly. It's just a better way to control map space all around

>>1831318
>Objectively speaking you're not wrong but fire bolts are just a timer. They buy you time
By the time they actually get to the point of defusing it's almost always too late. Guaranteed 20 out of 38 seconds they have to defuse are gone. No defender with a brain is going to run straight for the defuser. They're going to stack up, clear around then defuser, prefire spots, use utility, etc etc and by then you've already won.
>because it forces the onus of action onto the Defenders which is difficult
The only advantage you are getting is sound cue from them shooting it and they can do it from a distance. A single drone spotting on the defuser accomplishes the same thing if not better.

>>1831327
>Guaranteed 20 out of 38 seconds they have to defuse are gone.
This is assuming that there's only one entryway that the defenders can take to the bomb, which is rarely the case.
>A single drone spotting on the defuser accomplishes the same thing if not better.
Yes, staying off-site and then spotting with gadgets/windows is always the superior planting strategy and both fire bolts and Gridlock trax can do a strong job of locking down the plant site.
Firebolts might be better for deploying directly on to plant site but Gridlock trax are better for locking off possible entryways and holding space, and they're definitely no slouch when placed on the plant site either.

I think we're just talking about different goals, hence the disagreement. I'm discussing the use of spacial control tools as a way to block off passageways during/after the plant, not for placing directly on to the plant itself

>>1831330
>This is assuming that there's only one entryway that the defenders can take to the bomb
You put the fire on top of the defuser.
>I think we're just talking about different goals, hence the disagreement
Traxs are good as you're getting the bomb down vs post plant with fire but that's assuming you already have map control which is an entirely different situation than a rush plant.

Why can't I write mean words in a game about killing eachother?

>>1831691
You might offend one of the five trannies who play this game

I'll be honest I'm a bit lost in the game. I played a lot during launch and downloaded it again and it feels so disappointing. All the cool peeks you could do are gone? Bullet holes are gone, you can't spawn peek, a FUCK TON of unique map angles are gone, room layouts changed to avoid getting sniped from far away, everything is just so much more compressed and dumbed down.
Why are people still playing it? It feels nothing like what siege used to be.

>>1831807
>you can't die to stupid bullshit anymore!

>>1831810
Ah, so you were the guy getting spawnkilled by the acog jaeger who camped the same exact window every single round? I know games inevitably get dumbed down but the maps just feel ridiculous and uninspired now. Just a bunch of boring closed boxes.
If you're so retarded you can't figure out how to not die to obvious spots why don't you play a twitch shooter where you don't need to think?

>>1831814
>I know games inevitably get dumbed down
Right because games ending before attackers even get to the building with defenders smashing QEQEQE like they're on meth from any of the dozen spawn peek spots with their zero recoil laser beam guns is high IQ gameplay. It's easy to counter when you're playing against shitters who stick their face up to window in the most obvious spot but it stops being fun when it's their entire team spawnpeeking, all from different windows, with valk cam pings, from off angles, where they only have to hold one angle that you HAVE to cross to get in the building while you have to worry about 12 different punch holes a defender could peek you from at any moment. Even if you're patient and drone and prefire everything you're still wasting a huge chunk of time just getting out of spawn and you're not preplacing drones inside.

>>1831847
>playing against shitters
Okay lol
>games ending before attackers
Skill issue
>smashing QEQEQE
Yea, that sucked.
>dozen spawn peek spots
Skill issue
>zero recoil laser
Doesn't feel that much different right now but sure.
>with valk cam pings
Skill issue, actually I miss having to actually trying to find those.
>where they only have to hold one angle that you HAVE to cross to get in the building while you have to worry about 12 different punch holes a defender could peek you from at any moment
Skill issue, and both teams play both sides

>>1831869
One more thing, I remember people MOCKING those retard ash players rushing like a monkey and instantly dying, nowadays it feels like if you're not doing that you're the stupid one because there's NOTHING threatening enough to deter someone from blind rushing.

>>1831869
>skill issue

>>1831892

>>1831894
that's not an excuse for shit balance nigger

>>1831898
Nor is an excuse for literally removing every single opening from house's garage and on top of it placing a gigantic black fucking iron curtain just to make REAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY sure little 30iq lead brained zoomer doesn't get tapped in the head while he scrolls ticktock with his meak emaciated finger holding W
oh wait, even after ALL THAT there's still the anti peak that doesn't even allow you to hit the attackers after they spawn
They've transformed this game into a fucking corridor shooter because you lost 5% more often when attacking even though you swap sides mid match so it LITERALLY DOESNT FUCKING MATTER

>>1831903
The only reason the old maps were remotely playable was because most people still sucked at the game. An attacker gets on rappel on the house stairs you've cut off all rotations to the 2f and defenders are trapped. You can't hold the garage wall and once it's open there is nothing defenders can do to stop the plant. Good luck trying to contest one way angle upside down rappels.

>even after ALL THAT there's still the anti peak that doesn't even allow you to hit the attackers after they spawn
Okay and? Why do you think siege should be call of duty tdm? Because your dumb ass never learned the maps and you can't be bothered to use utility or map destruction? It's a SWAT game it makes no sense for the "terrorists" to be poking their head out of every window.

>>1831920
Nah, this is bait.
>Why do you think siege should be call of duty tdm
That's literally my point, it's no different from some shit overwatch TDM clone with low TTK now
>dumb ass never learned the maps
...? Like the people who whined about being spawnpeeked? Which is why they reworked the maps? Because people weren't willing to learn them? And instead made everything into corridors with no player expression? Like COD? Are you repeating my own point back to me?
I'll be honest, if this is not bait I'll be so fucking disappointed with society for allowing a literal negative iq mongoloid to have access to the internet.
> It's a SWAT game it makes no sense for the "terrorists" to be poking their head out of every window.
It's a SWAT game it makes no sense for the "terrorists" to become the "law enforcement" after two rounds, or for rounds to exist at all. What is your point? Appealing to realism in rainbow six "cripple lesbian operator" siege?
>most people still sucked at the game
Game stayed the same for several years, that argument doesn't make any sense, like your entire reply, but oh well.

If this is not bait just please throw your computer in the trash and re-enroll into school or something, I refuse to believe humans can be this retarded.

>>1831925
>That's literally my point, it's no different from some shit overwatch TDM clone with low TTK now
The TTK is higher now than it ever was with the ADS changes and ubisoft has been experimenting with removing one shot headshots altogether.
>...? Like the people who whined about being spawnpeeked? Which is why they reworked the maps? Because people weren't willing to learn them?
I already explained and showed stats demonstrating how spawnpeeking is heavily defender favored even at high ranks. your argument is
>nuh uh
>It's a SWAT game it makes no sense for the "terrorists" to become the "law enforcement" after two rounds, or for rounds to exist at all.
The lore has always been it's a virtual training exercise. You want to complain about the tranny OPs and fortnite cosmetics go ahead no one here is going to defend ubishart for that.
>Game stayed the same for several years, that argument doesn't make any sense, like your entire reply, but oh well.
2 years is nothing. See any other multiplayer title that's been around as long as siege.
>If this is not bait just please throw your computer in the trash and re-enroll into school or something, I refuse to believe humans can be this retarded.
Keep crying retard. Learn how to get kills without staring at spawn with an ACOG.

>>1831937
Your solution to some 5 odd percent advantage to the defenders is to completely destroy every single map design and reduce most ways of player interaction with the environment my dude. Are you some sort of statistics autist who creams himself over game balancing or what? I really don't understand.
My point is not nuh uh, is that it LITERALYL DOESN'T MATTER, as in NO ONE IS BENEFITING from it because BOTH SIDES PLAY AS ATTACK AND DEFENDER.
I hope the big letters will allow you to better understand the key points. And, since I suspect you're deeply autistic, I could even let you have that, sure, I heckin love le heckin balancerinnos and it must be heckin 50% or I will literally shit myself in front of ubisoft HQ until they fix it. Is your ideal solution to that problem to fucking remove everything from the game?
>The TTK is higher now than it ever

>2 years is nothing.
I can see your point of view and while I disagree it doesn't really matter either way. The 2016 game offers a different proposition and I never felt nor can I see how it'd be "unplayable" given enough time.
>staring at spawn with an ACOG
Maybe other people should've learned to stare at spawn with an acog too instead of whining on the forums. And I'll let you know that I barely ever done it since every single match had someone instapicking bandit/jaeger within .5 picoseconds. Not that it matters, as it wasn't my point.

The whole idea of the game was to methodically enter a trap-ridden building, when the defenders can barely place any meaningful traps inside then why would anyone waste their times droning? No, some static kapkan trap or other bullshit (which will probably also fucking GLOW next season like the FUCKING OPERATORS LMAO) isn't a meaningful deterrent.

Haven't played this game since that zombie quarantine update with Lion and Finka. Did they fuck with the TTK? Feels like I have to drop an entire magazine into someone to kill them.
>just headshot them bro
I'm bad.

>Your solution to some 5 odd percent advantage to the defenders is to completely destroy every single map design
You think old house is good map design. What the fuck do you know about making a good map? Your only criteria is how easy it is to spawn peek. There is nothing fun or interesting about droning and prefiring every goddamn window and swapping sides is a bandaid fix to a shit gameplay mechanic.

Yeah because your bitch ass uninstalled once ubisoft took your one trick pony away. You and the rest of the shitters who uninstalled in 2016 and pop in once in ablue moon to cry about how ubisoft ruined the game by removing spawn peek whackamole and jumpout clownfests.
>Maybe other people should've learned to stare at spawn with an acog too instead of whining on the forums
They did and the game was in a TDM/rush meta for years and everyone fucking hated it. Every consulate and oregon game was a spawnpeek competition. Attackers countered by spamming jackal, lion, and dokk so you couldn't even leave the bomb site without attackers getting wallhacks on you.
>The whole idea of the game was to methodically enter a trap-ridden building, when the defenders can barely place any meaningful traps inside
We've had C4 and barbed wire since day one and the game now has 7+ trap operators.
>then why would anyone waste their times droning? No, some static kapkan trap or other bullshit (which will probably also fucking GLOW next season like the FUCKING OPERATORS LMAO) isn't a meaningful deterrent.

I'll be really slow for you to understand, I know that if you get information overload you start stuttering and beating your own head, I get it.
Okay, really slow now, with bullet points. If this doesn't work I simply cannot help you out, I'm sorry.
- Spawn Peek is an EXAMPLE of ubisoft CATERING to people who insisted in NOT LEARNING THE MAPS, only SHITTERS get spawn peeked because everyone else after a fucking week of playing knows the main spots
Here are the core issues
- map REDESIGNED to be SIMPLER
- destruction NERFED to be EASIER to spot
- gameplay STREAMLINED and aimed for ADHD AUTISMO NIGGERS like YOU who are INCAPABLE of thinking outside the box
- The game used to require PREPARATION before rushing inside like a nigger, because you'd get blown out by someone hidden, this cannot be the case anymore because YOU GLOW, the smallest hole size is, while somehow still smaller than your moms asshole, GIGANTIC AND EASY TO SPOT
--- This is an ISSUE because theyre INCENTIVIZING people to NOT BE CREATIVE, no one is playing with the VERTICALITY ENABLED BY THE DESTRUCTION anymore, the fact no one drones in the same frequency as before is a telling factor when it comes to the massive simplification of the game, if people can deal with anything by just twitching around while powered by adderall you don't need to worry about someone in a bullet hole gunning you down, since you'd able to see HIS GLOWING FUCKING BODY from the spawn, which you cannot get shot from from as that'd make you really bummed and sad :(
>TDM/rush meta
I don't think we played the same game, or that you played at all. Since I posted my rank, please post yours.
Like I said before, rushing ashes used to be mocked, now they seem to be the standard form of play.
>Found the ash
I really hoped it was bait, but this is the second time you try to twist my own argument to be in favor of yours which makes no sense at all. Please ask your caretaker or chatGPT to read the discussion again.

>uninstalled once ubisoft took your one trick pony away
Mute still works the same bro, sorry to ruin your dreams, but I was more often than not the victim of those people than the doer. I was a huge fan of verticality and taking people by surprise from weird angles and bullet hole camps, though.
>You think old house is good map design
Actually, I can't remember it well enough to have an opinion. But it sure as fuck was better than the retardo box it is now.

is it just me or are doc's moans when he's healing himself very arousing?

this but with azami death noises

Overwhelming pace & gun skill as well as slow intel & utility play are both viable in Siege. You can't complain about either.
If defense leaves gaps unattended and are flooded, that's their fault.
Obviously blame should be placed on brainlet rushers and lone roamers who die in 20 seconds, but that doesn't mean those "roles," aren't viable play styles. It only means you're talking about the worst solo queue shitters who also don't contribute any utility, intel, comms, etc. and otherwise are not filling the team composition necessary for round victory. Not all players are like that.

See the upcoming changes with the release of Y10S2.2.
