Not that typing words on a forum will make much difference, but this couldn't be more of a terrifying situation to be in.

Hopefully we end without a tragedy.

 

[Jon Neu]

Weird as fuck.

Hope everybody comes out safe.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Only 1 gunman?

Hes stuck inside?

What took them so long to take him down?

Its over an hour since the attack

Report: Police operation at Ubisoft Montreal was due to hoax

There is a huge police presence outside the Ubisoft Montreal offices on Friday, with many employees on the roof.

www.windowscentral.com

Much of the team was moved to the roof it seems. What the.

Must be trying to unlock another part of the map.

On a serious note, I hope this is just one nutter and the police can arrest him before anyone gets hurt, got to be a terrifying thing to go through

 

[MiguelItUp]

Some of your are sad, this is not something to joke about whatsoever.

I hope everyone pulls through okay. This is pretty fucked.

 

[Shai-Tan]

Hope the staff stay safe.

Didn't the gunmen know Ubi is a multicultural team of various beliefs?

it feels wrong to laugh at this but I did anyway

 

[CouzinD]

Wow, someone is that pissed about Valhalla's ableism, huh? Fuck.

Well that's most of GAF incriminated, then.

seriously, hope everyone is ok. This is bollocks.

 

[regawdless]

I hope that no one gets hurt.

 

[Breakage]

 

[Stilton Disco]

How awful, hopefully everyone is ok and they catch the nutter.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I entered this thread being positive this was a metaphorical title.

Well ... shit. Hope nobody gets hurt.

 

[Compsiox]

Jesus this is surreal. Hopefully everyone makes it out okay.

 

[iconmaster]

2020 can stop trying to one-up itself anytime.

2020 can stop trying to one-up itself anytime.

We only have two months to go, thank fuck.

 

[FunkMiller]

Reuters and AP haven't picked ths up yet. Expect them to soon, and the news networks will get it.

Dude situations like these can take hours and hours. Talking the gunman down is infinitely more preferable than a swat team busting in.

'Donald Trump takes Ubisoft Montreal hostage'

 

[Xenon]

Woah! This is horrible. Praying for their safety.

 

[Fbh]

Damn, that's crazy.
Hopefully this manages to get resolved without innocent people getting hurt

 

[FunkMiller]

'Donald Trump takes Ubisoft Montreal hostage'

What does this even mean?

 

[Hudo]

Man, that's some fucked up shit. I hope that everyone's OK.

 

[Nickolaidas]

What does this even mean?

Trump's a sore loser, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda ...

 

[Spukc]

Damn this fucking sucks hope they all get safe,
World is a crazy place

 

[Kayoba]

I hope they stay safe.

Has the perpetrators demanded anything for the release of the employees?

 

[Ashraf’s Lioness]

Man hopefully I'm wrong but I have this weird feeling Ashraf is involved? Idk man it's weird.

Dude was the king of AC. He was loved by fans and had it all but overnight everything crashed and burned. He wasn't even credited/mentioned in Valhalla despite being the leader till a few months before release.

God I know it seems far fetched but humans are complicated creatures. I just hope it's all my mind making creative scenarios.

Let's hope there are no casualties. What's up with Europe though... it has to stop. Crazy times.

It's in French, obviously

Just saw a SWAT team on the scene

 

[THE DUCK]

Anyone joking about this should be banned. Hope everyone is ok.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Guess the screen tearing pissed some people off.

Some of your are sad, this is not something to joke about whatsoever.

What do you expect? "Thoughts and prayers"? Leave a like or something under "we are with you" post?
No reason to lose some nerve cells over something you cannot influence.

You could try not being a cunt, though?

[Piku_Ringo]

Can anyone confirm that this man is safe and sound in his panic room?

Related to Bataclan Paris terrorist attacks anniversary? (Nov 13, 2015)

Moral authoritarians never waste a bad situation, to tell everyone what they should do, and how they should behave.

Fuck me. Idiots everywhere.

Damn, a lot of people who think they're clever can't help themselves even in threads like this.

Was just looking for live coverage and couldn't really find any. Do you speak French? You'll have to keep us appraised.

 

[aries_71]

All my thoughts for these guys that make possible our hobby. I hope they are safe.

About the gunman I wish he's summarily executed before he hurts anybody.

 

[FunkMiller]

Damn, a lot of people who think they're clever can't help themselves even in threads like this.

Jesus christ.

It's certainly showing who the idiot children in here are. That's what ignore is for.

 

[kretos]

and who said 2021 is going to be better?

 

[MrS]

This is in Canada, bro

Hope there are no casualties and everybody gets out safely

 

[Jose92]

 

[BigBooper]

Ya'll silly. Let me know when the moment of respectful silence has passed.

No one has made any remark in this topic hoping for anything but a good outcome.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

and who said 2021 is going to be better?

Leap years are notoriously bad usually.

This is in Canada, dumbass

Hope there are no casualties and everybody gets out safely

When I looked at Montreal it took me a moment to realize that it was Canada and not France

Like it's ok to fuck around from time to time but these are real people up there.

 

[Ashraf’s Lioness]

WHAT?

Ashraf Ismail? The director for Valhalla? Was recently fired and his name is removed from the company completely. He basically ruined his career.

like I said, it's 99% my mind making scenarios in my head but it's 2020 nothing surprises me anymore.

edit: oops just realized. Sorry!
Confused it with France since it's a French company. Lol my bad.

 

[FunkMiller]

For all those of you tempted to keep making your edgy jokes, because you're just THAT pathetic...

...this games forum is probably looked in on by people who either work at, or know people at Ubisoft. Think about how they'd feel reading your bullshit. Grow up.

 

[oldergamer]

jokes here are in poor taste

Which building is UBI Montreal? Looks like a grungy street with two floor buildings.
