New pic of US operator coming in April.
directly from 4chan
quality may be low cause of unfinished model being used for testing.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
The death animations/physics are seriously underrated. And blood spatter is too.

Well she's a damn navy seal. They do a lot of push ups.
This game has the best ragdolls i have seen in a fps hands down.

Navy Seals, oh yes.
FBI Swat was a really disappointing US faction to have compared to the other countries.
Is she an attacker or defender?
Yup. voice chat works, it just doesn't light up anymore.
Looks like she has an SMG, so I'd say defender.

great, the platform to get it on
The castle glitch is fixed son.
It's in the patch notes and has been tried and proven fixed.

Just picked this up tonight... Haven't played Rainbow since Vegas... I'm terrible. Learning curve is steep, but I'm enjoying it so far.

My goodness Buck is an offensive powerhouse, his shotgun is too good.

Still takes a while to get into games and still getting the matchmaking error. That almost makes this update obsolete for me. Getting so tired of this.

That sleeve tattoo just doesnt make much sense to me. Its a polynesian tattoo and she is very white with bleach blonde hair. Also, as a Seal it just doesnt make sense to do something like that that would really make you stand out?
Maybe I am just taking it all too seriously or just missing something entirely.

I just repelled into a room onto a Frost trap and it killed me. 100% health. Huh?
TimeEffect

Yep. This is a thing. I swear Ubisoft doesnt test this shit.
This is undoubtedly unintended, but someone on reddit explained it well:
The Rappel stance/animation doesn't have a "downed" state. If you are shot in rappel mode, you die instantly.
Since you are rappelling onto the trap, you are getting killed in rapel mode, as there is no "downed" state when you are rapelling.
I strongly doubt this is intentional, but Im really ticked with how this passes QA.
Makes perfect sense lol
Saw a post-patch video. It's still there

Man...I never thought turning off V-sync would make terrorist hunt so fucking addicting. This game is everything after the patch, Love it!

Has sli been fixed?
I have a bug where sli usage is worst than single card performance leading to reduced fps

No thank you. It's great the way it is.

For a change of pace here is my impressions of fighting against the new operators:
Frost is easily the more deadly of the two in my limited experience. Her shotgun is lethal at a good distance and her SMG while having a low fire rate is pretty accurate making her good at holding longer hallways and angles. Right now people are still not used to her traps I ran into a few over the night, but I think once people get used to how they look the easy downs won't be as prevalent. They'll probably be good more for denying an area than actually triggering, or knowing an enemy is pushing due to them shooting to destroy it.
Buck seems kind of standard to be honest, like the safe offensive Op that doesn't have a crucial ability to the objective but one that just makes him a good all around attacker. He's like the Rook of attackers. I didn't find any of his weapons to be stand out when fighting against him all night. Not like Ash where you see her and instantly die.

the fact they can be shocked up with the barbed wire and bear trap combo is great because the fact the emp grenade from thatcher can throw them off and think its taken...

My group actually found the shock wire to be a bad thing for concealing bear traps, because since they make noise they draw the player's crosshair to the trap to destroy the battery where they see that there is a mat underneath. Just a wire on top is pretty good concealment though, and it leaves the shock traps free for reinforced walls.
There is a 100 comment thread on reddit on how it's fixed though.
And my friend and I tried it and couldn't get it to work.

A majority of all the people playing need to have the preference set for it to work. It's so fucking stupid. The game badly needs a vote system for map select.
Never split the community.

Quick question about Frost, can her trap be destroyed if it's place by a window barricade and the barricade is destroyed by a breaching charged?
Yes, if it's close to the window.
Ubisoft has to make the preference settings factor more into the matchmaking.
If you select only a single map in your preferences, the game should look for all matches with open spots on that map first and everything else should be secondary.
And if there are no open spots in a match on that map on your server region open,it needs to create a new one.

I find the the inconsistent framerate nauseating. At least on Yacht, where I tested it.

Haven't got the new map yet but I forgot about setting my preferences so I'm going to try that tonight. Didn't have any standout rounds last night, didn't do so well a lot of the time. I did have one game where our last teammate thought that you had to manually melee the bomb to destroy it instead of holding down the button. He just sat there hitting it until we lost

The new update is really great.Also the new characters,especially frost with her amazing weapons.For me is like a khapkan 2.0 but less damaging with her traps.
This update in the xbox one improves the ragdoll physics and the graphics in concrete the lighting.But with the improve of the lighting some visual glitches appear:
Men in black
Something is wrong
JEJEJE
JEJEJE2
Men in black 2 and the weapon
Another weapon in black
And the new map in awesome.

I got quite a few bear trap DBNOs last night. My only problem is figuring out which trap got set off, I am sprinting across the map checking them all when I see it go off.
I only played a custom match of the Yacht (never got into an actual game) and it is pretty dang confusing. 4 levels and a 5th top level that is outside.
This is hilarious (from Reddit)

EDIT: I think I said it before but Frost's submachine gun might be a little OP, it is very good from any range it seems. Coming from kills I had and deaths by her hand.

Btw, if some of you with Reddit accounts could throw my video some upvotes, that'd be awesome
