I wouldn't worry, I played the whole season and I'm worse than when I went in.

Had some great games of casual on PC earlier. Guy on the team called out for Fuze, I obliged and proceeded to get 5 kills with cluster charges (4 in 1).
Also, Flavela runs like shit. Never knew a GTX 1080 could stutter.

Yeah it's much more demanding than the other maps. I scale mine back so I have great framerate, so that map made me scale back a touch more so I don't have to adjust it when I get to that map. I'm hoping when they rework the textures and everything on the maps that it helps with that map.
Haha I wasn't sure if I could find the spot, but just ran a custom game and it took me a couple seconds but definitely fell through the map.

Need some advice, I started playing this game with a friend, should I save my coins to buy the 25k operator or buy the old ones then 25k?
I love IQ, yet I am getting killed a lot

Each operator has their own utilities, and the DLC ones are inherently better, necessarily, so I'd say get more of the original operators for much cheaper first.
Blood Orchid is the coolest title since Skull Rain.
What's your playstyle? How do you want to play?
IQ's a designated fragger and a minor intel gatherer. She's good for aggressive and versatile players who go for it. Maybe you should pick up somebody slower, like Fuze, Sledge, or Thatcher. Everybody appreciates a Thatcher.
Do what you want. Blasphemy it may be, the only two characters not particularly viable are the Lord Tachanka and his only begotten son, Blitz. And even they have their uses.

I like playing support but my team (on casual) rush and die, then I die alone

The R6 Tactics phone app is also really helpful.
Well, IQ isn't exactly a strong support character, but it sounds like your problem is more the lack of a cooperative team. If you have only one friend you want/have to play with, try running a Thatcher/Thermite, Thatcher/Hibana, Twitch/Thermite, or Twitch/Hibana combo with them. That'll probably increase your chances.
Whoa, I said damn! Thanks a bunch. Gonna check this out tomorrow.

I hate how slow the patch process is. Like, they had to take a break from operator balancing for Op Health.
Im still hoping for changes to Tachanka, and small buffs/nerfs for IQ, Capitao, Kapkan, Ash and Castle.
Id be really happy with an Ash nerf and for Capitao to get his guns buffed and his grenades back, but it seems like they don't want to do that without removing it from the other operators.
IQ is only ever useful when a Valkyrie is throwing cams outside, but that's rare. She really should be using a cool down visor.
Kapkan is too slow for his role, but I really think he needs his lasers adjusted for night maps, where they are too visible compared to day maps, Ash really needs a bigger head, and Castle could benefit from one extra barricade

If you are running MSAA then you need to drop it to 2x or even none (if running higher than 1080P) if you want zero drops below 60 in that map.
The map has just too much geometry compared to other maps and as such MSAA will kill performance because of that.

It's pure crap. It runs ok on my GTX 1080 as I have settings lowered enough to get 160-ish fps on most maps, and gsync drops that stay above 100 so don't seem to bug me too much.
On Xbox though, it's another story:
http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Pegasus Actual/video/35065024
Notice it gets down to 26fps on the frame counter at the tail end of a 1v1. WTF? Lots of maps hold 60fps pretty much the whole time and if they do drop it's like 55fps. There are a couple of other problem spots but Favela is just awful all around. I think armory is actually worse. I've seen it dip into the teens there.
edit: I guess it does tend to drop FPS when the round win/loss pops up so the 26fps is exaggerated but still. It feels like absolute crap.
I've not obtained a single headgear or armour skins through alpha packs.
26 seems a bit too much, it'll only go that low or even in high 30s when the round win/loss pops up and when the winning team is posing During gameplay at worst it goes high 40s on Xbox during instances when you are outdoor and looking at a complex geometry and even that only happens in some maps like Favela.
Can recommend these guys:

Never had any issues with it on PS4. stayed a solid 59 fps according to the in game FPS counter. Same as all maps, apart from the win screens that would drop to 40ish.
I have my settings pretty low on PC too. 1080p native, no AA, most of the awful effects turned off. Only tend to have textures on high, shadows on medium, etc.
Thanks so much! Will have a browse later.
Bombs for Bomb Mode, Containers for Secure Area, Hostage etc.
1A & 1B are for the A and B bombs of the first site and so forth. 2A + 2B for the next site on the list, 3A + 3B, etc.
S is for the biohazard container's positions for Secure Area.
H is for the hostage positions.
The one I use is called R6S Tactics for iOS (and Android too I'm sure), mb. It has all the maps plus allows you to place icons for operators and gadgets, like Ubisoft's own Tactical Board. Except, well, it actually works.

are accesories a must to win? I always saw enemies with all the accesories on their weapons and using the same weapon sight. hell we were wiped by a sniper twitch
What do you mean by this?
And do you mean attachments ? If so then yes you need attachments, a grip is pretty much required and should be equipped with every weapon that can have it and you need barrel attachment for further recoil reduction/control.
ACOG is also pretty much needed if you want to play mid-long range.

They do give you an advantage, that's for sure.
Edit: In all my time playing on PS4 I never managed to pull off a Fuze ace with just cluster charges

They're not a must, but they are objectively superior to having a bare weapon.
Are you sure?
I wouldn't be surprised if that part of the Season Pass has been quietly canned.

So some nobody leaked the operators on reddit without any proof. Hope its fake, but I love the idea of removing acog from 3 speeds and giving it to 1 speeds

Why is Frost's uniform option unlocked if she doesn't have any?
Or do I have it backwards? Season pass holders get it on the 29th and the rest of us get it on Sept 5?
I mean he already has the best defending gun in the gameJaeger losing ACOG?
Jaeger losing ACOG?
WHAT???

I've been living holographic sight Jaeger life for a little while now. Aside from resolution getting me down on Xbox some I like it. I lose track of targets too easily at near ranges with the ACOG, to the point where I think it just straight up hampers me when using a three speed operator. Holo does make quite a few peeks more difficult. And maybe a couple I don't really consider viable anymore, like Clubhouse stock room towards construction.
If the idea is to kill ACOG for 3 speed operators in general though, that's going to kill Hibana for me. Having an ACOG on her main gun and a holo on her machine pistol is what makes her worth playing for me. If the idea is to just do this for defenders, I don't think I'm opposed to the idea. 3 speed operators as dynamic roamers instead of... teleporting snipers.

I doubt they'll touch offensive operators, creating sightlines and range play are big parts of attacking. It'd be very strange to cripple attackers like that. Guess we'll know soon.
I'm fine if Jager or even Bandit loses ACOG, their guns are too good as it is and they have superb mobility allowing them to keep their flanking abilities. But with the ACOG and mobility not only can they re-position quickly but also take long angles which is a bit too much. With the changes to lighting allowing defenders to see very easily outside without being too close to a hole/window it'd mean they can use their ACOG from the middle of the room to look way outside and that'd be super annoying.
I'd riot if the attackers lose ACOG though.
