Yeah, but I think if one has to choose between the texture hack and damage recoil nerf, I'd prefer the latter. And he was my main before the buff/nerf. Right now he is not good either long or short distance. Especially if there's shit going on with hit detection, because spraying with an SMG or AR with ACOG will still net you better results lol.

Besides, they removed Favela completely, and House and Hereford out of ranked, some of the few maps where he is not shit. Plane too, although there it only works on casual.

I did not play Glaz when he still had the red filter. Why was that removed? Although I assume now with lightning changes lol, even that ability would've been useless anyway. Kek ubisoft, kek.

Since it's not like they care about realism anyway, I think giving him the ability to see through smoke but not have enemies texture hacked would be great, if they upped his damage and recoil numbers again.

He was way to OP before though, I play him fairly often now and don't really have any hit detection issues. Also in the new patch they give him the ability to destroy soft hatches by shooting them 3 times so thats another buff.

Not sure what you mean by when glaz had the red filter. That filter only applied to defenders and they probably removed it since when they leave the building the attackers basically have wall hacks on the defenders so they probably thought that is enough of a disadvantage.

 

[TheKeyPit]

The new smokes act as a indirect buff to Glaz. The meta around Glaz prior to the damage recoil nerf was one of the worst meta's in the game. I think he is in a pretty good place now.

I can't tell you how many times I tried to shoot through smoke as Glaz and get shot because the opponent could see me through the smoke but I couldn't see shit on my side.

I'm playing the game since weekend, mainly terrorist hunt, but god are there many douchebags around. Either:

- I get shot in the head by a team mate at the beginning of the round
- Someone rushes to the target, dies, quits
- We almost escorted the hostage to the extraction point, the hostage gets killed by a team mate
- someone throws a grenade against a wall and it lands right before my feet

And we always get the map where you can't see shit because of the gas.
This isn't fun anymore :|

You might not have been playing since season one, but original glaz never had a "thermal" scope, he originally had a red filtered telescopic scope, the point of the filter was to make it easier to spot enemies in hard to see lighting conditions, it kinda worked but not so much.

AnthonyPit1's Glaz Sucks

I'm gonna keep saying the same thing about smoke, the old one was better, replication was not perfect but if you knew how to use it, it was more fair for both sides. You also had to be mindful of lighting when using it and where you were positioned in the cloud. Now is super simple tho, the grey screen of death.

Yes I have been playing since season 1 year 1. I understand what you mean now, got confused with the filter that got removed with this upcoming patch for defenders outside the building.

Just have to agree to disagree on the smoke since I think the new smoke is a lot better.

Love Anthony Pit btw

prepare for people rushing through it in a month or so. Is the logical end strategy with how it works now.

 

[Phatosaurus]

I think switching to PC has reinvigorated my enjoyment of Siege. Controls so much better, runs flawlessly for me at 144fps with a few 120ish dips, just feels really damn good to play. Just wish all my operators from PS4 carried over along with my level/renown/skins/etc.

This. I have the PC and PS4 version since launch, but hardly play PC because I've got shit-all unlocked and dont want to go through the grind again.

 

[mf.luder]

How about a drone that explodes in defender's face and kills them before the round even starts?

Don't make fun noobers.

I don't think so. As long as you don't have enough intel it would be stupid to rush through the new smoke.

 

[Jangowuzhere]

Should I feel bad for not playing and simply browsing the net during the opening drone section when attacking?

I honestly despise that part of the game. It's so boring wandering the building trying to find the bomb and people. Building defenses and traps when on the defending team is so much more interesting.

Not really with a 3 speed operator and in groups, i mean, it happens all the time in csgo, is a fucking gamble but its a very enticing one. With the old smoke it was a death sentence because you can see someone rushing when they are completly blind but that is not the case anymore. It'll be a riot to rush through smoke with Ela.

Nice. Unlike Frost, I find there's only limited ways to be crafty with Kapkan traps. Against certain carpet/wall types the beam is more difficult to see and I tend to do better when I booby trap unbarricaded doorways on the way to the objective but not in it since players naturally take more care the closer they get to the objective.

You can go to the options and change your matchmaking preferences for specific modes/maps, in this case you want to turn off Bartlett University.

As soon as you know where most players walk through carelessly your Kapkan trap placements become very efficient.

Best use is when people think about which side they're planting it. For example on Club, at the end of the basement corridor from garage to armory. If a player planted it on the left side of the door frame facing Garage, an attacking team could easily shoot it out. If they place it on the right, unless they have a projectile/Thatcher, they have to lean round the door frame exposing themselves to anyone in armory.

I can deal with it but it's annoying. Having a level 25 account on PC and wrecking level 200s in casual kinda makes it worth it for me.

I usually just drive the drone to my spawn then check my phone for half a minute. It's always better to save your drone for when you need it.

I usually just drone the area of the building I plan on entering. Checking to see if anyone is doing any spawn peeks in that area.

I drone right to the objective and mash that scan key.

This is how you do it. Soak up the drone points and then soak up the kills. I got over 5k points in a casual match last night. 7 kills and 6 assists. I shot this hatch a fuze was placing his grenade on and he fell through lolololol. Right into our whole team.

After seeing Macie Jay's new video on plays with the new operators:

I feel as if Lesion seems like the standout defender but I'm also realised how powerful Ying can be jn the right hands. She's a really aggressive op.

They'll release the new ops really strong, then nerf them into place. Guarantee it.

For reference, see:
Frost's Sniper 90 shotgun and C4.
Valk's 4 cams and SPAStastic 12 shotgun.
Blackbeard's 10 inch thick bulletproof shield.
Capitao and his two tap PARA plus nades.
Jackal's laser rifle of hot molten DPS.

(Hibana's too cute to nerf).

 

[Orochinagis]

I think I give up on this game, getting always killed by ACOG sights, and spend most of my time other people cams than mine is frustating

 

[Keihart]

So i've been playing on PC on the test servers a little and holy cow people like to die fast here, even compared to console. Most player i've been paired up with on ranked rush to their death, maybe is because how confident some feel with their aim, but i'm usually the last one standing and when i play on console is the other way around, i'm usually the one taking risks in my group, weird stuff.

 

[TheKeyPit]

^One match: 3v2, my two teammates rush into the objective and die(we had two minutes left). One of them instantly says via voice-chat that I should go in. Then he sent me the following messages: "Go in!" and right afterwards "Goooo!". I don't play fast when I have a lot of time left. I threw my drone and checked the objective room, fuzed it once and looked through one of the doors, killed one of them. Threw my second drone, destroyed one of the walls with a charge, and moved in via the opposite side and killed the last guy.

Slow but efficient.

 

[Chasm Skulker]

Rushing is worth it in the first minute. I have a habit of turning up too early for the defenders when they're in Archives on Consulate. Literally, last time I attacked that objective someone was still reinforcing the walls. I also got an Ace rushing Garage on the same map with Buck.

Of course I often die doing this but if you can drop two or more defenders and rattle the other team it's good.

 

[TheKeyPit]

I can't wait for the new update. New servers + better hitreg + new smoke are going to improve my Glaz-play.

From the patch notes:
"New Upgraded Servers Deployment
The new servers will be deployed with the launch of Season 3. These new servers bring significant improvements to stability, connectivity, FPS, rubberbanding, and overall performance. On top of the new servers, we have a new physics system in the works, which should further address issues with players teleporting and rubberbanding."
Nothing here.

You probably mixed that up with the one week Blood Orchid TTS.

[Phatosaurus]

Met some really chill people playing casual on PC lately. Every time I go to the r6 Reddit people are bitching about toxic team mates, and i'm solo queuing and getting put with some of the actual nicest people I've ever randomly met in game before.

Spent the last two hours or so playing bomb with a 16 year old CSGO addict that was terrible at Siege, but knew it and wanted to get better, a Polish couple playing together, and another guy I played with this morning that added me as friend and we all went on to have a pretty good win streak. Really starting to get into this game again.

I’m not sure if those settings actually do anything but ranked has all 3 modes. I feel like I see bomb come up most but it could be equal.

Bomb: Only in a party. Teamwork is key.

Secure area: Solo Q is doable

Hostage: Round lost, hostage was killed.

 

[Phatosaurus]

Speaking of ranked, soloQing on PC while unranked has been...painful. Getting put on a team with under level 40s, all unranked against 3-4 high gold players on the enemy team. The matchmaking in casual has surprisingly been a lot better and more consistent than ranked for me so far, even more surprisingly there's been better communication too. Shit's weird.

At this point their use of the word iconic is iconic. They've won.

Yes, because it's the simplest gametype and most people suck.

Secure Area just comes up the most without preferences set. It's clearly not a random roll.
