That's probably why. For better or worse, Casual is probably ignorant of this tactic.
I wouldn't even do it, honestly. It's a way to win, potentially very easily, but what's the fun in having Not-Defenders pick off Attackers as they come up to the plane?
I can understand why it's used in Ranked often.

Getting a quick kill on Thermite will change the whole round. No need for bandit or mute on reinforced walls, no trap doors. To be honest as the attacker you should look at the windows and doors when heading towards the building. Besides plane, it's fucked up.
When you can pull shit like this off with Frost's P90, it clearly needs a nerf.

Ah that's a bummer. I remember trying Halo MCC at a comic event way before release and noticing that they had to connect to internet to play together and wondered why. They had to reboot all the consoles after every match as well which was hilariously bad. It's a bigger bummer that R6S removed it because if it had it in the first place it would have been amazing to have for the final game.
The only downside would be we would realize how the game is supposed to act online and would always hold the Online networking code up against LAN gameplay. In the end though it would have been spectacular having it for ESL
Intentional?
My Cloud II/Siege combo pack arrived. Working my way through the situation training, dying more than I expected for a tutorial (on hard but still), but definitely liking the mechanics as far as I can tell from bots.
Anyway, I don't really want to go watching hours of Youtube videos but does anyone have a recommendation for a particularly helpful guide/tips video to get a jumpstart?

Check out Serenity17 on YT. He's a pro PC player, so some of his stuff is higher level, but his "tips" videos are fantastic.

25% Bronze
35% Silver
20% Gold
5% Platinum
0.2% Diamond
Total= 100.2%

Would love to play with anyone on gaf who isn't that good, because I'm not.
So I did all the situations and now I've been in a casual search for over 9 minutes. Leaving and restarting put me in the same lobby. Not a great first impression for the 'ol Ubi servers.
And thanks for the Serenity17 reference, watched his tips video and several guides.
edit: UPlay. Finally got in a game now, scus.

Check in the top right options menu, it'll tell you.

Well. Is terrorist hunt P2P? Literally one second from completing a mission and both me and my bro got disconnected?
It is, yes
It's also only 30 FPS on console which is a shitty experience with the game, IMO.

Thanks for answering my question.
No host migration? Gatdamn, ubi.
This game truly is worth the max of $32.50 I paid. Man.
honestly, no one really cares about terrorist hunt so don't expect anything out of it or any new additions to it.
it's kinda just "there"

Good games Mike! We should try and enlist your help more often to carry us through these casuals. However tough that may be for you with Sneaking/Barrel on the team.

Can anyone provide a link to the content of the latest console patch? I looked on their website and the latest update posted is 2.21 or whatever.

Hahaha it's all good! Hit me up whenever I'll be on during a couple of nights
I don't know why I bought this game sometimes. It's so frustrating. It's hard to see anyone (dressed in black in a hard lit room, good luck seeing them), you can get killed randomly, near spawn from nowhere and you don't have any sort of indication. Frustrating experience so far.
Are you on PS4? I can help you if so.

Lordy I am so bad at this game like so damn bad. Me and my brother played this morning and looked like such buffoons. Somehow I find I am bad at aiming at people which is a problem I have never had in any FPS in my life. I miss people all the time. It could just be because of nerves though. The game is so tense.
Interesting to see how they pro players set up defense and coordinate attacks.
Yeah, it's something I need to observe more. I'm accustomed to how strats are set up in NA. Although I think its weird to see them not watch Garage whatsoever.
It takes some time, but with some map knowledge you'll start to be able to predict where people are going to be if they're defending. This game is pretty much all about the angles, the more holes you punch in a defense the more exposed an enemy is. Most people will either react and try to establish a firing lane wherever you've compromised their setup, or hide in a blind spot and wait for you to expose yourself. Additionally make sure you utilize your second drone, its crucial to have intel as you approach the objective. As far as being killed near the spawn, make a habit of checking windows as you approach so you don't get caught off guard. PLAY WITH HEADPHONES, audio cues give you a lot of information on both offense and defense.
If you're on PS4, join the gaf community, and don't give up. There's a pretty steep but rewarding learning curve to overcome, its tough but definitely worth the time.

That was incredible.
Thank you so much man.
I wish some of these videos were made by guys on console. You can move so much quicker on PC.
I know this doesn't really matter but anyone know what gun he is using?

Needs to be at the top of every page!
Very cool. I've never actually seen Spectator mode.
Punji is good on his own streams but he's having to keep his commentary pretty PC on here, I think. Like watching these so far today.

I haven't played Ranked since I got Platinum. I don't want to lose it. I should join some GAFers again. I see the messages but I never want to get up and get my headset lol.

They're doing more analysis on general strategy rather than one-on-one engagements. I like it.
Mike_Hawk689

Analysis wise yes it was ok. But they would switch the camera to somewhere else mid sentence or during a 1v1.. Like if they weren't the ones controlling the spectator
You'll get better and better. I know that sounds trite, but it applies moreso to this game than any other game in recent memory, for me. As you become more familiar with the maps you will automatically improve. Finding Operators who fit your play style is really crucial, too.
On a side note, I'm at rank 76, and every time I start to think that my interest in waning, I have a session that makes me say "this game is so freaking fun" aloud. It is a remarkable game, held back only by the occasional team killer or disconnect.

Which part of the video? He's using the F2 on Twitch, I know that.
Also, your on PSN right? We should play together. What's your ID?

I'm not too bad and could certainly help you out with load out stuff at the least.
