Not sure what the problem is. We now have *some* of the features they promised six months ago. In addition their new deployment with easy rollback release system allowed them to fix the Valkyrie camera glitch in a mere two patches and only like 6 weeks.
I mean, sure, sometimes I search for a game, remain on the game search screen while all of a sudden I start getting messages from people I've never seen before to 'reconnect to the game' that I never joined in the first place. Only to restart the search, be informed that I apparently left a game, and that I need to rejoin or face a penalty. But don't worry, when I do rejoin it's a really fun 3v5 with us being down a round already.
And sure, sometimes I still get the blue screen of despair.
And yeah, ok, fine. People have their game freeze on the character select screen in between rounds randomly still.
But ya know. We got alpha packs. And they didn't have to make a Polish map.
So clearly, Operation Health has been more like Operation Great Success!

Yoooo. Ops all leaked.
Gu is invisible toxic mines that slow enemies and disorients
The other one is a flashing fuze which can also be thrown as a nade.
And the other (Polish) puts up concussion traps
Also: ACOG REMOVED FROM 3 SPEEDS LIKE BANDIT AND JAEGER. And given to other ops instead (3 armour, and hopefully Mute)

I, for one, will be mildly entertained when all the Bandit/Jager mains continue spawn peeking with holo/reflex sights. The salty Reddit posts will be fun to read. .

Interesting. I wonder how much more useful IQ will be in that case.

Lol, people always say this about IQ. Girl just needs IQ-vision instead of what she has going on now.
Echo, Kapkan buff, Valkyrie, etc never really helped her pick rate. Doubtful this would either.

For you green-hair heretics, the season pass holders are supposed to get a blonde hair alternative. Pretty cool bonus IMO

Yes. 3 Ops and 1 map.
tactical shorts.
tactical yoga pants?
No idea why all the leaks are from somewhere playing on a Nokia N-Gage...
Ying sounds great, that's exactly the gadget I've wanted for ages.
Can we make this a new thread?
No it isn't.
They know their god damn audience.
That is a character designed to be a god damn waifu.

I'm not exactly opposed nor am I a big fan. I've posted a lot in this thread about how I feel about the character designs and art of Siege and their/its progression.
In short, I miss the old days when all the characters were faceless (yet recognizable), more subdued, and shadowy.

Just cool to see Polish operator finally.
I hope that fucking blonde hair skin is purchasable with renown. Fucking Ubi scum.

Seriously? Thats ridiculous, but also something I would want, fuck green hair, this is not Rainbow Six Seuss
I'm super into green hair tbh, I just wish she had a tactical mask, bandanna, shades, tinted goggles, something. I mean, this game clearly wasn't even meant for faces to be showing technically so I don't know why the fuck they've tried to so hard to make it so after vanilla.
Their mouths don't move when they speak!
The facial animation has spawned occasionally offensive memes even!
Why Ubi?
Why?
Am I crazy?!

It isn't? The weapon skins, ornaments, and clothes some of the operators wear had me confused.

Im fine with the green I guess but what military in the world would allow that shit?
The jacket on skintight pants bugs me though, especially for how on point the top actually is.

The game is a tactical shooter, but not a realistic one.

And thats why im fine with it.
Too much luck. Perfect timing with that Breaching Charge; couldn't see Ash in that debris. Opponents stopped securing right before the end. Lucky C4 killing two of them. What a mess:

Edit: I watched that Ash-moment in 0.25-speed. She's like a needle moving through a haystack...

100% agree. Don't really like how it's become like every other FPS with dress-up like attire. If it was all realistic, tactical gear then that'd be sublime. But it's mostly stupid clown masks, pirate hats and holiday wear. I get the allure of money Ubi, but why couldn't you stick to the original somewhat realistic aesthetic?
Wtf is happening here?

Edit: And I right in assuming the first shot was a body shot and the 2nd one was a headshot?
Or are both bullets body shots? In which case it doesn't make sense that it'd do 97.50% damage from a hit from that range on a 3 armour + plating operator.

What's multiplier on neckshots now? That's kinda what it looks like to me, with the first shot doing 3 damage followed by the second shot seemingly hitting you in the neck.
Seems like neck counts a headshot, that'd explain it.
Rotten luck that she was able to hit me like that from that angle and distance.
Pretty much.
Green hair is so tame by comparison and is something that you'd actually see normal people have in their normal day to day lives.

I think it was Y1S4 when they changed it to neckshots counting as headshots, but I think they later changed it back. I'm not too sure. It still wouldn't explain why you didn't get downed instead of instantly killed though.

Green hair is cool
Also here's some various clips I have strung together. A few clutches, some funny moments.

Question on connection issues..
My NAT type is open. It was moderate until I was able to adjust my network so now it is open.
I am still having a small issue that after the countdown to choose your operator, the game will load everyone into the match. There is the animated line in the box to show each person loading under their operator profile picture. I am still the last one to load. I always get into the match, but consistently the last one.
My ping is always between 35-45, so I am not sure what the issue is. Once in awhile, someone will vote to kick me, but luckily, I get into the match right after that. In other online games, I have no other issues. It seems like it's isolated to R6 Seige.
Any ideas?

Honestly I'm kind of disappointed with the new operator abilities, they are just rehash/remix of already existing things packaged in a new box.
Ying's flash charges being pretty much cluster charges with flashbangs is like eh but I suppose being able to deploy them like a grenade is nice but it's still just a flashbang and they are still very inconsistent. Lesion's Gu is basically smoke mixed with barb wire (meaning they might nerf barb wire now). And Ela Grzmot is Echo without a drone.
And what's makes it worse is that the latter two abilities are both deployed as a mine. I donno maybe I'm seeing things but none of it feels really original like say Blackbeard, Frost, Mira, Jackal, Echo, Caveira, Capitao. All of them brought totally new abilities in the game rather than remixing existing ones.
The reason you're loading last is because of your HDD, if you want to load faster then you need to upgrade that or clean it up. On PS4/Bone I'm usually the first one to load as I upgraded my drive for both, on PC I sometimes load quickly but I'm not the fastest as I don't have an SSD anymore. Sometimes (if I alt+tab) it'd load me really slow for some reason but outside of that it's generally ok.

Why do you believe loading has anything to do with connection?

Oh, interesting. Yeah I am on PC. I might move R6 over to my SSD, and see if it makes a difference. Thanks!
It should make a big difference.
Are you also using the Ultra HD texture pack?
If you are using those without SSD then no wonder your load times are long enough for people to want to kick you out.

I mostly agree. Usually its the Defender's ability that changes up the Meta game, like Mira or Valkyrie or Echo. All of them change the way the game is played. Frost made you distrust metal shields forever. These new defenders just have stuff that will screw you up if you run by it one way or another. If they're throwable then they could probably be put in all sorts of horrible places like ladders and what not. But they don't let you do anything new like plant cams, windows or interrupt bomb plants.

Hey all - I just got the starter bundle for Siege, so I'm in the thread now too, haha.
Question : Is there a "recommended" way to spend the credits you earn? Like, it makes more sense to buy packs than characters, stuff like that?

Oh dear why did you have to buy the starter edition? It's cheaper but it's also a time waster. In normal edition you can unlock every single original operator in about 10 hours and one DLC operator each in about the same time frame. With starter edition you are looking at 5-6 hours to unlock even one of the original base operators and the same 10 hours or so for DLC operators.
Also yes, you should spend renown on operators rather than alpha packs.

Yes.. I am using the ultra HD texture pack.. I guess a move to SSD is now a proper choice.
