Not too gone on the new ops, gridlock is soooo slow and her animation makes her feel even slower. She seems like a zero speed operator not a 1 speed and her gadget for an attacker is very counter intuitive I find. Will have to give her another few hrs of play. Have not spent to much time on the other ginger dude mozzy or whatever he is called but it took me about 20 mins to capture a drone and when it was caught one of my team mates just ended up shooting it....lol!

Like the new map all the same, with its Irish theme.

Team killing is still far to much of a problem it really is......

The attacker isn't great, but her device can be very useful if you capture a site or want to prevent rotation between sites.. For instance the new Hereford base, ground level breech the wooden door at the back and place her device down, slows rotation between the two sites significantly.

Mozzie is great, 3 speed, 2 excellent primary weapons, a shotgun secondary for making rotations. His device isn't perfect, but when it works, captured drones can be very useful for area control style defence and roaming.

I'm back playing a bit to give myself a little breather from overwatch. 3 ranked games in and the winner of each game was the team that killed each other the least. It puts ow problems in perspective! It's not quite as bad on the noob server

I have 2 accounts.

1. I'm lvl 205. Have everything unlocked

2. I'm lvl 60ish. Only have half unlocked.

Why am I consistently higher ranked on the 2nd account??? Not only higher ranked but I play better too!!

It's mad.

it matters due to mmr. It's a secret rating that stays with you from all your games, so the ones where you werent good at the start weigh against you

showdown is up for two weeks in case anyone wants to try it out, very fun quick matches

khaldrogo · 06-07-2019 1:14pm

Oh yeah, real fun..........unless you're not able to get a headshot with the bosg from half the map away and then you team kicks you

fergus1001 · 06-07-2019 1:18pm

not really most of my matches we snuck into objective and rekt the other team with pistols

good way to build up renown too as the matches are so quick

Good to know it didn't just happen to me. I got kicked because I couldn't clutch a 1v3 on the 4th round. Sterling people..

The new game mode is a great way to cheese a few alpha packs more quickly.. depending on your luck levels. But even with bad luck it's faster due to how short it is.

The matches are so short that if you lose a match, you get that little extra percentage towards a box, and if you do win, you get a roll.

I'd say on a good day, if you are winning every match, you could be getting 3 rolls in the time you'd take to complete even a casual match, if it went 3 - 2 and people were playing slow.

Free weekend, so seal clubbing

khaldrogo · 15-09-2019 9:41pm

Had a terrible start to the ranking this season. Lost the first 3. Got it back to 3w 4l on Thursday. Finish tonight with 2 w 1l and the lost was due to having 3 tm leave the match in the 3rd round ffs!!!
Thankfully my rank last season carried over to some degree and I ranked gold 3. Happy considering. Now to lose 10 matches in a row(happens ever season) and spend the rest of the season trying to get out of elo hell!!!!!!

Lot of blue screen crashes happening on PS4 since the last patch, hope they sort that quickly

Pain in the hoop......3 times in 15 matches so far for me...

maximoose · 16-09-2019 11:51am

Crashed out of 4 games in a row lastnight, very annoying

J Mysterio · 16-09-2019 1:52pm

Happened to me three or four times over the weekend also.

Read somewhere that Siege has hit 50M players though. That is incredible. Might need Operation Health Pt. II to cope with the huge growth of the game.

Theres just something about Siege. Never gets boring. A winning formula

you'd have to wonder how they count that though? 50M unique logins since launch maybe? I find it hard to imagine that there is an actual active playerbase of 50M. I haven't played in a few months, are they still counting me for example?

Yeah, I'd say 50M unique players since the game is out. Whatever way you look at it, it's been a huge success.

Does well on Steam also. Huzzah

RB6 was (arguably still is) an amazing game. I played it from Beta and from launch. Must have close to 700 hours played. Played ranked heavily in season 1 2 and 3 with the same 5 man team, many of the players are well over 1300 hours played. Then things started to change with the game. It became too competitive and the dreaded mouse and keyboard entered the console scene.

Late season 3, kill cams and some kills were just becoming far to accurate and fast for a controller. So much so that when I asked certain teams that beat use 4-1 or 4-2, many of the players confirmed they were using keyboard and mouse on the xbox via an adapter. This for us was to much and completely took away from a great game. We had so many great games over the years, those 5-4 wins in overtime. No game gets the heart pumping like RB6.

We still jump on every now and then but its just not the same game it was in the first 2.5 years.

That and the fact that we are all getting older and our reflexes are not what they use to be.... but I don't like to admit that

J Mysterio · 17-09-2019 10:44am

Ita still an amazing game. Im always solo queuing though, and thats where the frustration lies for me. Went from Gold to Bronze over the last few days. Team killing, people who obviously do not have headsets, people abandoning the game after 1 bad round. Etc.
Can be a real uphill struggle.

I would like to play in a decent, coordinated, mic'd up team with some strategy some day.

I don't know if you are on PC or console (PC myself), but there are large popular Rainbow 6 discord servers, where you can choose a room to meet and queue with strangers, with the rooms broken down by region and by ranked / unranked options.

I have friends I play with, but those types of servers are a great way to meet and play with new people who are all using headsets.

I don't have a clue if discord is an option on console.. probably not but possibly?

I can relate to this too much

I've also found that I just dont have the time to lean the new maps and sightlines, its a full time job keeping on top of all the little pixel peeks and wallbang spots.
I still watch a fair bit of youtube videos on it, particularly russianbadger, its a great game to spectate.

Yup the Xim users ruin the game as far as I'm concerned, especially on ranked. I want to win games sure, but I'm not so desperate that I'm willing to cheat to do so. I don't see the point in hollow victories.
Learning all the best spots on the new maps has become a chore too. I preferred the game when it was a lot more simple and pretty much very op had a counter.

I'm enjoying Apex Legends a lot more than Siege these days. It has Xim cheaters too but at least you don't usually get instakilled. If only it had 4-5 player squads.
