Can any one pass a verdict based on whats been played?

Thinking of buying this for xbox one on launch.
Im never really vocal on games so is it essential on this to be in contact with team mates?

Always been a fan of the rainbow6 games but a bit unsure on this.

This is a savage R6 game (consolized tho) pretty sure 5 lads on comms will beat 5 lads not on comms 90% of the time.

If your an R6 fan then you must buy it but as an R6 fan you know communication and teamwork are key to this.

anyone else having massive CPU usage playing this game . have a look the next time your playing i have a i7 3770k overclocked to 4.4 and a GTX 780Ti and my CPU usage is nearly 100% . anyone else having this ?

Was really enjoying this last night, however it's been down again all morning so far. I'm raging, was so really fun

madcabbage · 28-11-2015 3:03pm

Really like using Castle, god damn those strengthened doors you can put up are a nightmare to attack. Looking forward to tuesday now.

Grayditch · 28-11-2015 3:48pm

So, I'm a big fan of R6 games but I missed the Beta; I'm just wondering how the multiplayer felt. Were people playing it tactically or just trying to play it like Call Of Duty, run kill run?

Feels like the old rainbow games but with plenty of gadgets. Run and gun simply doesn't work on this one, communication I think is vital. There are characters that are quicker moving but you sacrifice armour strength in return. Beta is still running I think and its open to everyone.

Grayditch · 28-11-2015 3:57pm

That's what I wanna hear. I need an intelligent shooter.

Oh really, I might try the Beta so, class.

I'm playing it now, I'm hooked!! Enjoying the slower pace.

The first few times getting holed up and hearing them get closer was tense, hadn't had that kind of tension in ages!

dreamers75 · 28-11-2015 6:08pm

Found out Kapkans booby trap will kill anyone on any floor that is standing directly above it.

Try insurgency aswell if you want an intelligent shooter.

If you don't connect to servers don't abandon the game. Give it a minute. It will place you into offline mode on the main menu. Wait and it will attempt another connection after about 30 Seconds and then it will work.

Give it a go. Works everytime for me on Xbox1.

Wonda-Boy · 29-11-2015 4:41pm

What is with the ****ing regards team killing the minute the round starts, getting more and more common. If you team kill once you should not be able to fire weapon or some kind of penalty. Really annoying..!!!

Also Tachanka class that mounted MG is useless tbh. Area needed to set up is far to big to be useful so you end up setting it in wide open spaces and get shot no probs.

FAILSAFE 00 · 29-11-2015 7:41pm

I had this FAIL earlier using a new character with a different weapon special.

Grayditch · 30-11-2015 2:28am

Played 3 games there, some real braindead people team killing and not reviving, but hopefully there'll be less of those in the actual release. I can see this being great.

tony1980 · 30-11-2015 2:38am

Had a few games with some of the lads on here earlier, first impressions are I really enjoyed it. There was some very funny moments in some our games tonight. Looking forward to a few more games tomorrow!

Yep. I was using a drone to spot targets for some of the team who were breaching a room when I was team killed. When I asked wtf that was about the guy replied it was because I was AFk.... What a wally.

The only way to play this game is to try and get a full team together or at least 4 players to avoid some of the randomer stupidty.

Grayditch · 30-11-2015 2:54am

Ah, that explains my first teamkill. I was inverting my controls for the first time when I was killed.

irishmover · 30-11-2015 8:41am

Anyone have any issues with getting into games as a full squad?

We couldn't get in at all on Xbox one. Only three teamed together. It wasn't any one player either because we tried the combination with everyone and any of the 3/5 could play together.

Someone in your team has a port issue.

Nah its not. People reporting in their droves jusr seen it. As I said we couldn't narrow anyone down. Everyone could play 3 people. Nobody could play more than 3.

The error is across all platforms too.

Mr Freeze · 30-11-2015 10:39am

Only managed to get a quick go on this last night (after errors every other time trying to play), I was expecting a bit more to be honest.

Has the Vegas type cover mechanic been completely removed and replaced with the lean option?

Haha I am still laughing after that game yesterday. I recorded it as you ran up to the door. Then all I can see is your body blown sideways across the corridor!

Great games yesterday, picking this game up for sure. It is alot of fun.

ZiabR · 30-11-2015 11:08am

How can I share my xbox captures so you can see some of Failsafe's skill

Nevermind, got it

I wish it recorded the party chat aswell as the video

Go to XBOXDVR.com and you can share the video of it and turn it into a gif too like he did.

They released the game on Thanksgiving weekend.... You know the time when most americans are off work and schools are closed.

A tad idiotic in terms of load management. I would not expect this to be replicated when live live.

Based of that im ignoring any articles about the quality of the servers for this currently.

The game itself, love it. Refreshing changes from the likes of COD etc, I love the building walls etc, its a great dynamic cant fault the game myself right now and i will be buying it come release.

FAILSAFE 00 · 30-11-2015 1:14pm

Interesting enough when you open a small sub menu during the game you can see port status and connection info such as your ping to the servers.

My ping was only 22ms. The last time I had a ping that low to servers was in Titanfall which uses Microsoft servers in Dublin.

death1234567 · 30-11-2015 3:02pm

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

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.

They specifically did this every time I tried to play too, what are the chances? :pac:

I got on once for a while for some lone wolf terrorist hunt, my favourite vegas mode! Can't say I was sold on the game at all, I will be waiting for a sale passed on a few things.
1. I was expecting it to look a lot better.
2. Is the cover system gone?
3. Content, Rainbow 6 for me was all about single player in the past, Terrorist Hunt was a fantastic addition, no interest in PvP in R6 for some reason, could never get into it. So Seige will have 11 maps only and just for PvP and TH, no Story mode.
4. No split screen local Terrorist Hunt

They seem to have taken the best parts of Vegas 1 and 2 and binned them.

Erm i know all this.....

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

I am playing btw.

Wonda-Boy · 30-11-2015 6:31pm

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.

dreamers75 · 30-11-2015 6:54pm

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.

madcabbage · 30-11-2015 7:18pm

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!

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.

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.

tony1980 · 01-12-2015 12:25pm

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+??
