The fuck is wrong with this game. I keep trying to queue for casual and it brings up a window that says "validating and updating playlist and properties" for a fraction of a second then kicks me out. How is matchmaking issues still a fucking thing in this game after the beta. Get your shit together, Ubi.

Fuck me I need to turn on Shadowplay. Just clutched a 5v1 round and I wasn't recording. That's just a waste of talent is what that is.

I wish you could adjust loadouts on your operators in between matches. It is so clunky having to go to the main menu, operator, load out, weapon, back, back, back, new operator, repeat, etc.
You should play with me and Mike tonight.
Don't listen to Evolve, he's great. I always die right off the bat so I spend a lot of time watching from his pov lol
I will be out of town sorry. Good luck. I will definitely be missing the game while I am gone and likely checking this thread.

Thanks for reminding me. I had a few rounds last night where I wish I had it saved. Just turned Shadowplay on.

Anyone else really dislike Bomb mode? I feel like every map has like 1, MAYBE 2 viable spots to defend, and if someone leaves, you're basically fucked for sure even moreso than in the other modes. I wish they'd either just take out some of the objective sites, take it down to 1 bomb, or just balance the locations better.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Bomb is pretty frustrating to defend. Just so many ways they can hit you, and you're spread really thin. When they put the bombs on separate floors? :|
I was watching an R6 tournament this weekend and it turns out they consider Bomb the main competitive mode.

It's definitely not a good game type for having 3 roamers. If you're team works together and defends the two positions as one big one, it's a lot easier. We blow out adjoins walls and make sure our defenses don't block movement between the two. We only use 1 roamer. That obviously is with coordination. If you are playing solo, you're screwed.

I started enjoying Defuse a lot more once I started learning the maps and interesting ways to defend them.
Maps like the house (Mansion?) often have one of the bombs in a TINY bedroom that has like three windows. It's a fucking death trap.
Instead of actually posting anyone in that room, we instead send one or two guys into the next room over, blow murderholes into the walls, and just wait for them to come in. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Of course, you need to have a team to help. Usually two people covering each room, with one "wanderer" is a solid strat. Last night, we were playing that exact map and I told my team "do NOT post up in that room, it's a death trap". Told them multiple times.
20 seconds later, Fuze kills both of them.
Now I actually really enjoy Defuse *with* a good team. It can be fun once you get out of the "we need people in the bomb rooms!" mindset.

But any attacker with half a brain would clear adjoining rooms FIRST imo. At least I do. I never go into the objective room first thing.
Anton Sugar
Member
Well, plenty of other players do
Esp. when it's a spot like Mansion, where they KNOW it's a deathtrap and think it might be an easy win.And that's why you have two people per objective. One to occasionally check the murder holes while the other covers the actual room you're in.

I love bomb! I feel it's the best mode.
I wonder if modes like Secure would be more fun if you didnt know the attacker was in the same room as you? That mode is too chaotic in my opinion
Maybe they could cut down on the drone phase because its too easy to find the objective
I think thatd work better for secure. I love moving room to room when My team doesnt know where the objective is

Once you reach a certain level of play, drone phase isn't really about finding the objective. After you've spent a decent amount of time on the game, you'll find the objective very quickly every time. Drone phase is about gathering intel on what operators they're using, where they're focusing their defenses, where they're putting in murder holes/camping, and ultimately, if you can--sneaking a drone into a spot where you can see inside their defenses during the round.
TimeEffect

That's true. Noticed some sneaky drone placements in our rooms.
I'm curious how different hardcore mode would be. Are u guys anticipating that mode?
This. It is hilarious people think drones are about finding the objective and you see the entire noob teams try to put all five of the drones into the objective room instead of getting intel on the whole map. It is way better to have your drones cover all possible approach and flanks than to be in the objective room. You can always send in a drone there later when you are close to the objective anyway.

We had it on Hardcore mode during last thursday's game, didn't really much difference..
Doesn't affect my gameplay. I only rely on my own crosshair the compass, the bullet counter, the score above and the amount of players remaining.

I have such terrible luck with randoms in ranked recently. Just people picking absolutely shite spots to defend for reasons entirely beyond me and then literally all 5 defenders leaving the room. Granted, I'm guilty of that too as I like to roam, but I feel like if you're in ranked you should know broadly what spots to avoid. And just general terribleness. I'm Alt-f4ing this game out of frustration far too often of late.

We had a Glaz yesterday who was horrible.
When attacking, both sets of objectives in the mansion were on the lower levels...so he gets in the outer deck and "covers" the second floor the entire round.
When defending, he rushed upstairs alone (which I recognize is a viable tactic) and kept getting killed.

I had my best round with Glaz last night. 4 kill round hanging upside down looking throw a semi-broken out window. The collateral fire from myself and other operators allowed a wall to slowly damage up murder holes which gave me a view into the next room down the hall from my same repelling spot and just stood still and killed 4 of their 5 team members. Glaz's scope is medium zoom at best, so it can still be very effective at medium to medium-close range. I do love when an objective lines up with a breachable surface and I can set a charge, retreat far back in the outside of the map, and just snipe into a room.
I'm close to buying the season pass and this would be the first one I've ever bought.
It is honestly only worth it if you care about getting all new operators day 1, unlocked. All other benefits are lame. If you are on pc check gmg and cdkeys for discounts on the season pass. Don't pay full price.

Does ranked take forever to match because there arent enough players? Or is it juat broken?
Literally waiting on 1 more guy for the past 2 minutes
Wth? Got kicked in the matchmaking screen

Unfortunately I play on the PS4 so can't do cdkeys.
I know it's pretty much not worth it but I like the skins and if they can get the servers stable this is the most fun I've had for awhile with a game.
NEW patch 1.3 details! Server tick upgrade for consoles, permanent ban, no more outside exploit and more.

Aw yiss. Thanks, Ubi!
EDIT: Should note that 1.3 is going to PC tomorrow, and on 1/20 for consoles. Tomorrow, consoles are actually getting 1.2: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1368508-Patch-Notes-Update-1-2
So will we be able to select our data centers?

Nope, the only way you can select it currently on PC is via ini files. The only way you will be able to is when they add it into the menu for selection.

So, I guess I'm a little confused: is the improved tickrate coming to consoles tomorrow, or 1/20? Because 1.2 brought the improved tickrate to PC, and consoles get 1.2 tomorrow.
Not that I'll be too disappointed waiting a week--1.2 looks like it should bring matchmaking improvements, too, and other solid fixes.
Ah, bummer. I haven't had any issues with the wrong/bad datacenter being selected, luckily.

Er..permaban? Is the system reliable?
So console has had no fixes? Im waiting a long time to get into ranked and am hoping it's not a case of low player count

Do you guys have go-to operators or can you be equally as efficient with anyone?
I've been having a hard time moving past the intermediate skill level in attack mode and I think it has to do with not knowing which operator to stick with. I feel like there's a lot less variation among attack operators than there are on defense.

Man, these notes are kind of a mess, haha. So, tomorrow, I understand that consoles are getting this portion of 1.3:
As well as what was deployed in 1.2 for PC last week:
Sound right?

My only concern is that insta-kill when you go into the restricted zone. I've had times (mostly in the garage of the mansion) where I'm reinforcing the garage doors and the big "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE" pops up on my screen. Hope that won't trigger it.

Yeah, I get that a lot. But you must be outside for two seconds to actually be "detected".
