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

Give Castle a go, makes the room you defend much harder to enter.

Jager has some kind of trophy system for neutralizing incoming projectiles which should be very useful when defending. Especially against those breach devices that attach to the barricaded windows and shoot 3 grenades inside. They were used so much in the closed beta.

I assume Jager will counteract those so I'll work my way up to unlocking him.

Mute is the No 1 required defender.

Someone has to be him.

I find castle is good if you want to discourage players coming in via windows, something about his reinforced windows scare them off. Probably because they cant pop holes in the window or anything for quick kills, they are forced to use explosives which gives their position away.

Is this a first for a publisher?
Activision (Destiny) & EA (Battlefront) could learn a thing or two from it.

BlitzKrieg · 01-12-2015 3:50pm

I hear the operator videos are actually really cool. Any favourites yet?

52 euro in Argos by the way for Xbox 1

Yes you will

Even a kids play house can be put to good use in this game. Unfortunately I lost though

My favorite breach from the other night.

We torn them apart that night. I think we only lost 1 game all night.

01-12-2015 5:19pm

Well that's that sorted then...

ZiabR · 01-12-2015 5:20pm

Ha, good man Mick.

Unfortunately I did not buy the Rainbow 6 Siege *pizzed* edition.

Looks good though.

I just noticed from your image that the game comes with Rainbow 6 Vegas & R6V2 for backward compatibility. Nice.

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.

Not sure yet but will have a better idea tonight after a few games. I am jumping on in about 10 mins if there is space.

02-12-2015 12:55am

Well that was some laugh! Good stuff!
Hope to get a compilation of those game clips uploaded by tomorrow.
Still laughing at the thought of the sledge class hitting the breach wall then getting a shotgun shell in the back from me lol

ZiabR · 02-12-2015 9:14am

Good laugh again alright lads. Loving Terrorist Hunt and with all the new game modes and maps it makes for a great game. We have "Realistic" still to do once we get the hang of the new maps but even Hard can catch you out

.

Looking forward to giving the PvP a go aswell, i think there could be some savage matches with those new maps.

Overall I thought the servers were actually quite stable last night, they were certainly more stable than Beta. I only got kicked once all night.

dreamers75 · 02-12-2015 10:35am

Still has matchmaking issues on PC but after you voodoo....

Run Game as Admin, Run Uplay as admin ensure all NAT is the same even if strict....finally a group of 5 can play together.

Had some cracking matches last night.

FAILSAFE 00 · 02-12-2015 12:54pm

On the Xbox One it seems like the games are hosted on local dedicated servers. During the game press start and you will see your NAT status and connection to servers. I am getting a nice 22ms connection.

It looks like this. Server: 22ms (neu)
I think that means North EU. Meaning local servers probably host the UK and Ireland.

dreamers75 · 02-12-2015 2:12pm

Getting 8ms on PC and no real lag, only issue is you think you are instakilled but replays show it not being instakilled. Think all online games that at some point.

BlitzKrieg · 02-12-2015 2:15pm

I spent a chunk at it last night with a friend, had some frustrating games, but overall still the same quality games that made me enjoy both the betas so much. I also like a lot of the new maps like chateau and cafe. Tried the airplane for the first time last night and boy is that one hard, if either side slips up it just becomes a snowball rolling down the hill for them.

my classes so far are 2 defenders and 2 attackers

defenders are Mute and Rook

attackers are Thermite and IQ

hoping to drum enough points tonight to have 3 of each so I shouldnt have to worry about clashing with teammates and being forced into a recruit.

though really doing the situations earns you enough for an operator easily.

I'm on xbox too (ID: Gul De Krieg) if anyone wants to team up. I usually have 2-3 other friends on it each night too so easy to get a full team.

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.

Are instant gaming legit ? Would probably buy this at that price. Not at 60euro though.

Also how does it work ? Get a key, download from steam and use the key given ? Is that how it works ?

Dcully · 03-12-2015 12:47am

Used them many times, instant delivery of code for steam,origin etc.

dreamers75 · 03-12-2015 12:48am

Situations which are very good will get you about 5k points fairly quickly.

FAILSAFE 00 · 03-12-2015 2:19am

Threw a few clips together from the last night of the beta and launch day.

recommend doing them quickly cause there is a twist to the last one:

its multiplayer co-op, but I imagine after the initial week or two the number of players who will be matchmaking to do that mission will drop massively so unless you have 4 friends willing you wont be able to do that mission
