Valkyrie has SPAS-12 and Desert Eagle.
Blackbeard has assault rifle and Desert Eagle.
EDIT: Obv beaten, haha.
Did they really need to wait that long to reveal this? Didn't even get a look at the map, did we?
It does indeed seem like all DLC will be coming in the month after originally planned.

New operators look fun. Gonna have to get season pass I think
(But wait a sec- these guys not included in the season pass <cry>)
What? They better be.
I have no idea why they're calling the second DLC of the first year "Season 2" but it's really confusing.
Zero footage of new map.
And everything delayed a month assumes no further delays, this is just the next delay.
Still no mention of the new game modes (plural) from the roadmap
Check the roadmap image posted on the last page. Each DLC is being called a season. It is confusing wording but they've at least been up front about that.
US Navy SEALs
They absolutely are included. May 9 season pass, May 16 everybody else.

It probably has something to do with these pro league tournaments, right? They just finished "Season 1", and now they'll have a "Season 2" with these new operators and additional balance tweaks or whatever.
I definitely agree that it's confusing language, though.

Stream apparently dropped 7-8k viewers after the announcement lol
Ah, you're right, my bad.
No way they charge $30 for the next Season Pass, though.

Yea the season pass is really nice, I hope they do a second season pass next year instead of a new game. And maybe even a third year. Just as long as they don't annualize the series.
Dissapointing as hell about the delay to May 9, and they should've shown the map wtf.
The season pass gets you all of the DLC operators, and you get them a week ahead of everybody else.
Without the season pass they cost 25,000 renown each, the equivalent of unlocking all of the base characters. You can also buy them separately for $5. If you play a lot you'll have no trouble getting the renown. Plus you have to consider if you'll actually use the operators. Like for example I never bothered to unlock Buck. I'll get Valkyrie but probably pass on Blackbeard (even though I have about 85k renown).

Announcements to announcement streams that announce a release date and show a teaser pic. It seems a little... Shit
Lol at the stream viewer count drop off.

If you play regularly it won't take long to get those credits. I don't have the season pass and won't get it this year unless they do a proper second season with a season pass. The game has been so buggy I almost hate to reward it with more money but then when it works it's one of the best shooters out there.

The lady operator looks very good.The guns she have and the ability looks very good.
Was playing with a group of guys and stuck with them (added them all to my friends list)
Anyway, they complemented me for always being the last guy and clutching a few rounds. Tried to tell them though it's cause I'm the biggest biatch.
Defense- I usually play someone like Rook or Castle. After reinforcing, etc I setup that little barricade and hide behind it. I'm sure a pro would run around and light up everyone but since I know my limits I stay safe mostly. Sometimes I roam though and try to flank
Offense- I like using Twitch for scouting / support or um, Thermite. I've had some nice clutch plays by blowing up a wall and surprising the enemy team
Anyway just spouting off had a great night

You know it's absolutely tragic that with a game this good that this online component is such utter utter garbage. In about a two hour time frame I can play about 5 matches if I'm lucky. At least 25-30% of that time is sitting in que.
It gives me rage like none other

Heh
I'm usually first to die on defense (if I die) as I play pulse and do stupid stuff to try and kill people early, and last to die on offense because I play twitch and scout.
It's a good balance I think. I wonder which characters are most likely to die early though. I think thermite is probably the most likely to die early on offense since people target him and he often has to breach a wall, so he has a predictable approach. Fuze can feel like that too.

Friend of mine had an amazing moment in a game tonight.

I've never done a 5 kill spree in one game before, 4 is the most I've ever gotten.
The next game on attack afterwards the other tram did the exact same thing and all crowded into one room. You think they'd learn! Only got 3 kills that game, though.

For some reason, I've been thinking about the Oregon map a lot lately. I think they really nailed the theme of a rural isolationist compound in the United States of America. The cinder-block first-floor, the commercial kitchen, the church-pews in the meeting-room, the second-hand furniture, the mismatch of construction materials that implies additions added on at various times, the bunks, and just the general sense that everything is utilitarian but somewhat unfinished; the details are eerily accurate to the theme. I appreciate the artistry and thought in that.

This past monday morning the matchmaking was broken in the xbox one in casual and ranked.10 minutes to search for a game in casual....or the people are leaving the game thanks to the fantastic support of ubisoft.
Yes,it was very strange.Usually i play the game in the mornings, EU time and i don't have any problem with the matchmaking but yesterday was awful.
So even after backing out after two minutes and starting matchmaking again it was still taking 10 minutes? That's crazy.

Agreed, I like actually detracting game maps from their gamey context and looking at them realistically. This game has some fantastic recreations of environments.
It's been broken all weekend for me (PS4) I'm lucky if I can get a casual multiplayer match, Nevermind something like Ranked or Realistic Terrorist Hunt.
It doesn't even try, it might find two other players for me then nothing happens. No idea how it can be left like this.
Wow ran into a few Team killers last night and even worse- I had to complete this "win 2 matches with Tachanka" challenge. I am crazy bad with that character should've just dropped the challenge at first sight but went ahead and did it
The night ended at a super high note when I finally got put on a team and everyone was using mics. They turned my night around and I had a blast (even clutched a few rounds). Stayed up way too late though and had to get up early in the morning. I need more than 6 hours sleep

This has definetily become my favorite FPS, i haven't have this much fun since early MW2 with my college friends when we used to play every friday some private 4v4 matchs.
Sometimes wallbangs make me feel like i'm cheating.

I also recently discovered that drones can hit the hostage

what platform you on and do you refer to ranked or casual?
I'm on PS4 and I purely do casual. I'll normally have to wait like 1-3 mins and I'm dropped into a team. If two or more people is willing to use mics I will usually stay with that team rest of the night though
This is my favorite MP shooter. Cod: Blops 3 been collecting dust (but CoD is good too in its own way). I just hate how in CoD they build the maps like something out of a bad dream where you cant be safe in a room and you often lack tools to barricade yourself in. Sorry probably bad explanation but I gotta have my back up against the wall and need ability to recon with cameras.

Casual isn't too bad. Ranked is horrible though.
