you know, I get that Neo-Gaf (some members) have a issue with Cd Keys being allowed on here, but I paid £18.99 vs £49.99 on Steam, I would like to see anyone come up with a cognitive argument about why it would make even the smallest jot of sense to pay £50 over £19.. CDKeys is 60% cheaper FFS!

The question is the legitimacy of the keys. Particularly when publishers have no problem revoking entire sets of keys after the fact if they believe those keys have been stolen or sold under gray terms.

Ah, I had no idea they tucked that info away in the Options menu. Why the hell would they have it there, and not where you select the game mode/difficulty level?
Regardless, thanks for the heads up!

Visually disappointing, maxed out on PC, textures seem muddy.
well on my code page, it is a scan from a physical product, and it says "codigo de ativacao"
Google tells me that is Spanish, so I am guessing my copy is from Brazil?
All depends where you are from. We don't have to dicuss stolen keys here, that is illegal. But where I am from the grey marked is not! A publisher has no righ to rvoke a key I bpught from another contry, wether they like it or not. A a consumer I have every right to benefit from globalisation!
*cough* In Brazil they speak Portuguese *cough*
Indeed. Very odd that the prevailing opinion is that console games should be region free, but then so many pc gamers seem to resist the idea.
I can tell you that's not true, 5v5 is there from the beginning.

How is this game if you're just playing with randoms?

Bro, it's just a bet.... whoops, can't fall back on that one anymore. :-(
snowblind, this isn't true. I was able to leap almost straight into PVP (after the server woes!) with one exception - I had to watch the tutorials. You get 200 renown for each. That is enough to unlock multiplayer. You can also skip the videos and still get the renown, as long as you open them.
I guess they may mean ranked multiplayer?
I did 1 hour of the situations earlier and it was enough to unlock 4 operators and fully complete loadouts for 2 of them. So it seems like it's probably the same.
That's a relief, thank you!

This sounds amazing. video earlier in the thread also looked fun. If there was a singleplayer I would seriously consider picking this up. I already bought a MP ONLY game this winter though.It's more Rainbow Six than Vegas was, for sure. Still a little dumbed down, but I think, in spirit, it's Rainbow Six. Most tense fun I've had in a while.
I wish I had recorded it, but we had a match as defenders where we just annihilated the attackers. It was 4v1 and we were nice and cocky, absolutely positive we had a win.
Then this Solid Snake motherfucker proceeds to do some guerrilla warfare shit. Almost all of us were defending the one objective at the upper floor, with many of our windows still barricaded. He used that to his advantage, blowing breaching charges to distract us while popping into other windows and taking us out.
He eventually cleared us all outIt was terrifying.

So found out i can get it today.
Before I pull the trigger I want updates people.
Is the MM inproved from the beta or is it as bad?

To clarify further, I did 9 of the situations on normal difficulty, and had just under 4000 renown after. They give a few hundred for finishing, and also have 3 one off bonuses of 200 renown each for meeting certain objectives.

Junior Member pls. Fallout 4 shipped with 2-4gb or something on disc and you had to download the rest off Steam. So i dont really see why this is an Uplay centric issue now?
Played the game for an hour or 2 now. Really enjoying it.. High skill cap.. PC.

Not anymore... Gone are the days, friend, gone are the days. PC's the closest one can get of the promised digital only platform.
PS: Am I the only one seeing something wrong with this thread's title? "Sold", really?
If you look for racism, you'll see it everywhere. The title is completely innocent and absolutely fine.

There's a 5gb update? Good to know. That'll be a fun 2 hour wait.

i played the "beta" aka demo a few days ago and completely hated the controls and how slow it is.
any different in the retail release?

Yes, IMO. It's swung a bit more to the Counter Strike end of the spectrum in terms of PVP, but it's definitely its own brand of Rainbow Six. The co-op modes feel properly sandbox R6.
I've used them a lot, but there were a couple of big blow-outs in the last couple of years. One time it transpired that a lot of their keys were bought from fraudulent sources - eg organised crime, theft, phishing. We don't know whether the website know this or not. A lot of the keys might be legit - from genuine promotions in different countries and such.
I've never had a problem with them, but it's like buying a disc off a guy in a street. Maybe he's owned it for years and its legit. Maybe it's a very convincing pirate copy. Maybe he stole it from someone's house. You can't know. You may or may not be funding criminal activity, which is the worst thing possible - worse than pirating a game imo.
That isn't going to change between Beta and Retail builds.
It's a slow tactical game. On PC the controls feel good and it's very responsive. Are you on console?
There is occasionally a bug where you move really slowly and can't sprint, happened to a friend of mine in the Beta on Saturday.

Got this game being delivered by UPS today. Really confuswd because it says the package is 4.8 lbs. I've got a seperate shipment of WWE 2k16 being delivered abd its .22 lbs.
Thought maybe they screwed up and sent me a super deluxe edition with a statue or something but that doesn't exist for this game.
Guess we'll find out when UPS shows up today.

Really wish this had a swat 4 style single player . Planning , different scenarios, multiple ways to attack etc . Would definitely consider it more then a multiplayer only game .

Kinda' funny because some of the reviewers actually complained about there not being any matchmaking options.
If they have spent more than a few hours they might have found them!
Here's the quote from Gamesradar's review
http://www.gamesradar.com/rainbow-six-siege-review/ said:
In my opinion, their review is also pretty disingenuous on the state of MT in the game
http://www.gamesradar.com/rainbow-six-siege-review/ said:
Matches last a maximum of 25 minutes, but typically around 15. You gain an average of 400 points per match, and operators cost between 500 and 2000 per faction to unlock. If you had played the game for 10 hours, you should have earned close to 16,000 rainbow credits. Enough to unlock almost every operator.
Additionally, the season pass doesn't give access to new operators, maps, and skins. It gives early access to operators and skins, one week early access... gamesradar portray this as if Ubisoft are segregating the community with its season pass, when in fact, they are doing quite the opposite. Reviews are inherently subjective but I think we should be able to expect accurate reporting of the objectively observable components of a game. Apparently not.

Thanks guys! Yeah, turns out they meant the "ranked" playlist... what many consider the "real" multiplayer with voting and all and the backout penalties. I always got MUCH better matches in ranked vs casual. Oh well... i'll be having fun either way.

I really dislike the practice of multiplayer only games. Simply put without an internet connection this game won't work (poor servers hindering functionality regardless). The inclusion of single player warrants use of the game even in 50 years time when the servers are taken down for Rainbow 666 Plus - Storm the Dorm 5. Maybe this inclination is mine and mine alone, but I stand by it firmly. Put in a damn single payer for gods sake.
Now, $60 and $30 more for actual content?!?! 8 classes that you wont be able to access otherwise?
Please don't buy this game. Buy it in 6 months time for $15, or wait a year when the season pass won't be half the price of the entry fee.
Season pass is useless new operators are a week early access, not locked behind it.
I definitely find Terrorist Hunt Classic like this. It works best co-op, but TH on Hard or Realistic is phenomenally strategic and focused.
The first thing I thought when I booted it up was "This feels like SWAT 5."
This is also ignoring the singleplayer 'situations' in the game, which each net you 400 renown even on Normal difficulty. You can unlock a lot just mainlining a few of those.
The false completely misinformed outrage lol
They only get the operators early. The season pass basically adds nothing but some weapon skins and a slight exp boost. But you can have 2 or 3 operators fully unlocked and equipped within an hour anyway, so why bother.
There's 7200 renown up for grabs across the situations for achieving the objectives too. 3 x 200 in each one for things like 'get two headshots'.
