The game hasn't been released yet. Its the beta that we have all been playing. They are specifically load testing the servers to make adjustments. They have been taking the servers down at certain periods to make adjustments.

We'll have to see at launch how the servers perform.

Erm i know all this.....

The released a beta over thanks giving weekend. plain silly.

I am playing btw.

It is a very good game, but with the limited content its no where near €89 even for the deluxe edition on PS store. I will get this 2nd hand I bet before xmas after a few boyos buy it and think its too slow or something lol.

Are map packs not free? Season pass is a waste of time.

As the weekend went on had a few cracking 5-4 Ranked matches.

Found Glaz to be very useful as people started to use him correctly. Thatcher was my most used attacker and Kapkan defender.

Funniest thing I seen was some clever fcuker busted a hole on Kanal at the control tower, using Tachankas mounted gun he mowed down most of our team just after spawn before we knew WTF was going on.

It's the best time to load test servers IMO.

The aim of load testing is to break it and then make the appropriate adjustments. Prior to Titanfall's launch the developers did the same thing.

Best to do it on thanks giving rather than launching the game and then experiencing issues at Christmas when more people are playing the game.

Hopefully they can get things working well with the data they now have.

Hopefully the day one patch isnt huge ( if there is one!!!). Looking forward to a proper shooter, lost interest in Black Ops 3 already, none of that fast paced sh*te!

Complaining about something not working in Beta software? Isn't that the whole idea?

The vast majority of open betas rarely change much for retail.
Don't be fooled by the so called beta tag its a demo your playing.
Server load and server testing is an entirely different matter.

PC version is €25 on instant gaming.

As far as I am aware, the first years content is completely free.

Great game. If you get a 5 man team together, you are going to have a good time!

Very odd price difference. Xbox must be pushing for big sales leading up to Xmas.

Game is still broken. Matchmaking just doesn't work for us in AU.

Got a copy for the brothers. We had a great team going with Failsafe over the weekend. Serious craic when you are in a decent party.

I am going to jump back on again tonight for a good few games, really enjoyed those games on Sunday night, think there was 5 of us playing, was a good laugh!

01-12-2015 1:22pm

See no reviews..little or no single player content?

Is the Coop alone worth 60 squids+??

I paid €58 in Smyths. But I traded Halo 5 and Mortal Kombat so I only paid €6.50 for Rainbow 6. I was very let down by Halo 5 so don't mind letting it go. Rainbow six is my kind of game, much slower and tactical.

Anyone try the challenges against the AI? Hostage rescue one is a right pain in the hole. Jumped online for a few games, love it so far. Haven't ran into server issues (**touch wood**) so far, seems to match up pretty much straight away for me.

Hmmm might do the same today. Same feelings with Halo 5. Haven't touched it since launch week / completing the ****e campaign.

Edit* Whats your addy? Tony / Failsafe are in my friends list already

I liked using Sledge in the closed beta. He was very handy for instantly breaking down a door and getting very fast entry.

Yeah got a game in at lunch there. No issues getting a game.

Classes picked so far are:

Nxtgen Soco - Twitch
Maoileoin (that's me) - Fuse
Bo0mton - Not picked an attacking operator yet

What are you going with Failsafe and Tony?

Mick, I have you added already but feel free to add the other brothers, we will be on most evenings for a few games.

We'll need 2 operators each. One for attack and the other for defending.

I'll take one that has the ability to not blow up the entire team

The operators and there abilities are listed on the main page here http://rainbow6.ubi.com/siege/
I assume we'll have to spend a while playing before we have enough points to unlock these operators.

Post launch video mentioning free content throughout the year.

Yes Fail that would be a good idea alright

Not decided on a defender yet but will get picking when I get home from work
