Yeah, just watched the part of the stream where they explain it. I think it's a cluster of 6 per shot, though, and it seems you can actually shoot each individual pellet out of the six according to the devs. Meaning you have control over the position of each of the 18 pellets, though I haven't seen that in action.

Was hoping they'd at least have a roadmap available to show us what's to come, but I suppose we'll get that whenever they're ready to start selling the next Season Pass. Really happy that the team was able to pull Siege up from its middling beta to a successful, multi-year project.
What they showed today was 3 clusters of 4. 2 horizontal and 2 vertical. But I know what you're talking about regarding the horizontal line. Assuming the gun can fire in different patterns.
Shoot my bad, yeah 6 not 3. Andycapps, however in the gif above 6 come out, 2 lines of 3 horizontally?

Now don't fuck it up Ubisoft. You've had a great run so far.
Great to hear confirmation of season 2. I think we'll see a lot of hibana + thermite lineups, it's so useful to take out reinforcements. Or thermite drops out because his gun is terrible.
I hope they update old maps as part of their support. First on the list should be House it favours attackers way too much. Yacht becuase it has little to no verticality though favela is very similar to what yacht would be with more vertical opportunities.

You're right. 2 lines of 3.

Really Ubi?
Well at least she doesn't look like a wet rag anymore. Maybe a shade too much on the lipstick though

Yeah, not sure why they felt the need to make her look like a sex doll lmao.

I played the game for about 12 hours over the free weekend and really enjoyed, so I picked it up half-off tonight. Looks like I'm jumping in right before they make some big changes though, so hopefully they don't do anything too drastic that'll make me change my mind lol.
From what I could tell, year 1 allowed you to earn operators purely through in-game currency, right? And maps were free? So if I don't care about cosmetics, and Ubisoft is consistent, I shouldn't suddenly have to pay for anything for year 2 to have all the content, right?

Do special forces put on lipstick? I loved how muted the original designs was. This is just bizarre.

No. Honestly just keep building up renown. I gave yet to get any cosmetics. I think the system they have now has worked and it doesn't affect the main game play in anyway.

Good. It's ridiculous and it doesn't even make sense from a type of gun perspective.

The current Twitch looks like a gal that doesn't take any shit and is ready to get the job done, the redesign looks like she hit the beauty parlor before going on an operation, ubi please.

Absolutely, bit of a step back from both a design and socially progressive standpoint lol

Do we ever actually progress socially? Feels like a loop to me.
Now defenders have even less acogs. I feel it's what made a lot of people choose smoke. I don't think it was unbalanced as attackers already have the advantage, at least in pro league for sure. I guess matches now going down from 4 minute to 3 minutes will benefit pub defenders in ranked matches though.
There goes my smoke shotgun smg11 build
Trust me... Smoke was becoming my main. Don't think it was unbalanced at all

Is anyone else concerned with the new shotgun's damage at range?

Well now I won't need to pick smoke anymore.
Really Ubi?
The makeup is definitely unnecessary. Like she wears a mask, what is the point of her dolling herself up?
Very healthy. In fact, the game has more players now than at launch. Hugely popular game on all platforms.

IT WAS AN SMG WITH PINPOINT ACCURACY FROM SNIPER RANGES!
Nothing unbalanced at all. It's only more accurate than basically any Attacker's AR.
Crazy talk.
Not sure how, when it had crazy recoil and very small clip? Are defenders not meant compete with attackers on long sight lines? Just want em to sit in a corner and camp. Anyway, lets see how it plays out.

I know it's semantics but just change the weapon type. An SMG shouldn't have that kind of accuracy and range. Range especially.

Maybe it just me but the PS4 version is fucked up real bad right now, when i start the game i get server error messages constantly. Also i have to restart the game everytime i finish a ranked game because it won't sync my progress, it just gets stuck.
Small moves Compsiox, small moves.

So I picked up the game now after having played all the Situations on the free weekend, and the progress I got on them reset (but my overall level and operator unlocks are the same). Is this a mistake or am I effectively getting sanctioned double renown for being able to play through these twice?
Been all over the place the last few weeks. I'm just hoping Thursday's patch addresses most things ahead of the new season.

So what are you guys wanting in Year 2?
I guess South Koreans would be a good operator pick.(though to make that faction a bit more unique I think i'd go with both being females of the White Tiger unit)
And for the love of god add a Calypso Casino remake.

I'll just add on my two cents and say that adding makeup to Twitch is incredibly dumb. I like her redesign overall other than the makeup. It's especially a disappointing change since I've thought all of the female operators have been thoughtfully designed, and didn't feel like they were meant to add sex appeal to the game or anything like that.

Game changer for smoke. Seems like a great idea to me, makes it more competitive IMO.
