Fucking hilarious, man. I'd be lying if I didn't say I haven't done the same thing, or had at least yelled (post-death) "FUCK! I thought that was a teammate!"

People here know how much I hate Castle.
He hurts your entire team and should almost never be chosen unless you play ranked with a mute and pick your spot. Even then, he hurts your team because the enemy can just break it in about 15 seconds and your "advantage" is gone.
You don't even have a nitro cell.
Im on the anti-castle train through and through. If you like his guns, pick pulse or something.

Pulse seems to be a more popular character these days and he's really frustrating me. That ability to know where I am and come out quickly when I'm repelling and then run back inside is annoying.

I would love if they changed defenders to be immediately spotted outside instead of the timer delay.
Will buy Pulse next thanks lol

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone here can help me with this.
My specs are:
core i7 920
12 GB RAM
GTX 670
windows 10 (was on win 7 during the alpha and beta)
Now, I know my machine isn't as recent as I'd like it to be, but when I played the alpha and beta, the game ran fine and was more than playable for me frame rate wise, which is why I'm not sure what's going on. I recently picked up the game and installed it, and was just messing around with the SP missions to see how it looked and as far as I could tell, everything was fine frame rate wise.
I go into my first multiplayer match and the frame rate just tanked, well below 20 FPS, making the match barely playable, and it hasn't been the same since. I'm not sure what happened here, and how I can go from a perfectly playable single player session to multiplayer that is hard to play because the framerate tanked on me. I should mention that SP is now playing at low frames as well. Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks!

That's a spicy meat-a-patch.
I really hope these matchmaking and hit registration improvements work :-| Otherwise, praise the lawd:
Interesting change here--as long as matchmaking can support it (it would suck to be infinitely hanging during a 4v5 preround):

It's the most uniform and simplest way to solve complaints about 3v5 matches. I mean, in Ranked, there's really no good reason to play with a team imbalance.
Like I said, though, this new change REALLY puts all of its eggs in the "matchmaking will work perfectly" basket...herewego.gif

Ubisoft is listening as proven with this update and The Division updates, kudos for them for not being another Bungie (a developer who insists on killing everything that makes Destiny a fun game)

Surely the simplest way would be to only allow a game to begin if the teams are even?
I've sat in lobbies for 10 minutes while the game hopelessly tries to find a 5th player and was hoping they would fix that shit.
Oh, yeah you're right.
If you've sat in matchmaking for 10 minutes then I think you wasted 8 minutes of your time. From what I've seen, if it doesn't find a match within a couple of minutes, you'll eventually get an error.
If matchmaking doesnt find a game in 1minute, you leave to main menu and search again.
My friends and I do that and we never wait longer than 2 minutes for a game.

Sometimes we quit out and search again. Sometimes it finds a game, sometimes it doesn't, casual is usually more successful than ranked, which has been shite for matchmaking lately. There's also the hassle of your party being disbanded when you quit out of a search and having to re-invite everyone. I still can't believe that hasn't been fixed all these months later!
As long as the party leader cancels the search then it should bring you all back to the main menu without the need to reform.
Nice! Can't wait to try out Buck tomorrow after the patch.
I would like to come back and play this with you guys tomorrow and be a regular on PC. I feel so bad when I am the team's weakest link and I fuck it up though. 
Would anyone let me in, even if I'm still a scrub trying to get much better? I need to work long and hard on my game.

Im so fucking tired of teams kicking me for no fucking reason.
Just played a game where I eliminated three enemies as last man standing, only to get kicked by asshole teammates
Such fucking bastards
Two days ago, I got kicked twice by assholes who decided that theyd all rather teamkill, teabag, and vote me out. Im so sick of this bullshit and hate that Ubisoft does nothing about it
And they want to even increase penalties for getting votekicked
This community is dogshit. Rarely do i get a proper 5v5 in ranked without someone teamkilling and causing chaos. Why isnt there some kind of way to report players like this

Stepped away from this game for a while due to The Division, but my friends and I have been back over the past few nights and it sucks that everyone uses ACOGs now. Game has a different feel because you just get your head popped from outside windows all the time now.
I feel like the ACOG changes the dynamics of the game from CQC to ranged combat. That, with the ability for defenders to go outside (which also seems like more people do than when I was last playing) all fucks up the way the game is played. Wish they'd not allow defenders to go outside, or at least immediately say one is outside and locate them, rather than the 2 second window they have now. I'd also like ACOGs to be gone, or have some sort of penalty for using them. I don't like them, but I have them on all my guns now just to be competetive.
Still the best MP shooter in years, those complaints aside.
They need to add some kind of scope shake when moving like CS:GO does because there's not reason not to use the ACOG on any gun that can equip it. Adding some kind of aim penalty when moving would be a decent way to balance it and make red dot sights/iron sights more viable for quick peaking around corners.

Broke down and bought the xbone version. Haven't double dipped on a game in a while but Siege is worth it.

Are these experiences really that common? I've never had problems like this. A few times the opposition team all kill each other which is equally frustrating when you e been waiting ages to get into a game. I haven't played for a couple of weeks and I'm hesitant to jump back in because it seems the place is getting worse with this sort of stuff.

Nothing I've ever come across more than a couple of times. Definitely don't think it's gotten worse recently or anything.

Haha when I down Frost I honestly thought I had made a mistake and downed a friendly so I keep trying to revive him and then finally I realize...Oh man your a bad guy!
Best part is both guys that I shake hands with and salute on their way I end up still killing. It was a short lived peace treaty.
Ah man must have been a good couple of matches. Playing with GAF really helped though. What is your PSN?

I know happens to me pretty often.

Man it's common enough to drive me crazy
Sit in matchmaking for 5 minutes.
Get into a game. Someone teamkills sometime in the game. Match becomes a throwaway. Others quit or teamkill back.
Im going to start keeping a track of my ranked solo games
I know youre supposed to play with a party but that doesn't excuse anything. Ive had friendly solo games full of dolid communication. It also doesnt help when people teamkill on the opposing team
It's such an annoyance when parties intentionally kick just for the fun of it
All these teamkillers and voters go unpunished. There's no system to track abuse and vote kicking and team killing is a community feature that assumes that the community uses it reasonably. They dont.

This is happening to you on PS4?
I have actually never been kicked from any game outside of the first day I got the title and found out the hard way that Team Killing was possible.
The last two nights the same thing happened to me. Idiots run out and get themselves killed in less than 2 minutes, leaving me vs 4, and then one or two immediately vote to have me kicked. I didn't actually get kicked either time, but last night I actually just shut the game off as soon as I lost that round.
The problem with the community in this game is that it really only takes one asshole to ruin your mood, and after a stressful day at work the last thing you want is to deal with that kind of shit.

I would say Team Killing is the worst thing going on with the game right now.

Playing solo on PS4 and it seems to be about 50/50 (lately) whether someone is going to team kill and ruin the game. I feel it has become worse. Sucks after sitting in matchmaking for 5 minutes too.

Adding some slight sway/movement when peaking while moving would be a good way. They could balance it by making the less magnified/smaller sights have less movement, while its amplified with ACOGs.
I don't mean sway like traditional FPS sniper sway, but rather, a slight disalignment of the sight when movement occurs. Hard to describe what I'm thinking...
Right now you can basically "hover" (in terms of sight movement or lack thereof) whiled peeked across the entire map with zero to little accuracy penalty.

The worst though is when you accidently team kill somebody because they wander into your line of fire.
I was shooting at a bomb vest guy in Terrorist hunt and another dude just sprinted right across my line of fire and died.
I apologized and explained what happened but then still proceeded to get several boot votes from that guy until the rest of the team voted and booted me.

God, I always feel so terrible on the odd occasion that's happened to me.
Team killing could be easily fixed if they did just ONE thing. If you team kill it automatically boots you and blocks you from playing multiplayer in the same way if you leave a ranked match it apparently makes you wait for a bit before coming back in.
I swear no one would team kill if they knew they couldn't play online for 10-15 minutes.

This would really fucking suck for accidental TKs, dude. Which happen.
Ok, so it happens if you kill 2 people in a match. The first could be an accident.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned reflective friendly fire, which would punish the shooter instead of the target. It should be enabled in Casual at least..
I recall a funny moment in House when I heard someone running around on the top floor and suddenly charged down the stairs. It freaked me out so that I instantly unloaded a clip into this poor Kapkan.

If people TK to ruin games reflective friendly fire would just result in some players purposely trying to get in front on your gun fire.
so when you fight an enemy i run in front of you and you kill yourself?
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice gonna grief the shit out of people
I dont have much sympathy for this. There are definitely times where I have a split second "Oh shoot is that a bad guy-" but I dont ever just open fire. Just be careful (unless someone runs in-front of you already firing)

As a general sentiment, I agree that Ubi could do a lot more. Any teamkills within the first 15-30 seconds=instant boot.
X number of teamkills within a certain amount of period=boot (perhaps penalties is more depending on number of kills).
I thought a punish/forgive system might be nice, but considering how vengeful players are already with accidental teamkills, I don't think that would work

Awesome.
Recently a round started and we were on defense and I just immediately hear gunfire. I just start running while taking hits. I barely escaped with my life.
The rest of the round I was hiding from my OWN teammate.
