/r6g/ - Rainbow Six General

dec 1st

so this is the power of the pc master race

They probably won't put one out until January 16th at the soonest.

why even lie there in the first place? You're exposed from behind, the left AND above. that's the stupidest fucking place I've EVER seen someone camp out.

I have 25k renown what should I buy?

>main thatcher and rook
>don't have buck or hibana
>I could get an outfit or weapon skin

I already have the tiger fighting the dragon skin. I just don't know what to get now

Hey guys, I did all the combing I could, and to be honest the "Season 0" menu's suck. It's basically the old match loading screen guy in all black, a dude with a shield, the dude with his fists, and then a bunch of bullets, flash grenades, a gun case, and other small random stuff.

But if you want a flashback, feel free to watch this annoying kid

That's my birthday! If you add 10 more days and then 2 more days.

Don't tell me new DLC operators from now on aren't going to get previous seasonal headgear

i had to upload them to tinypic because the images were too large for imgur you fucking mongoloid.

did you not read

that just doesn't sound fun at all how often does that happen?

Of course I didn't read them, who the fuck do you think I am? Mr-Reads-the-whole-thread? that's like 15 posts man. fuck off.

just make an account, should be fine nignog

Kids these days

Do you honestly think vek draws better than that?

> user is having trouble reading

it's okay. i know normally your books have lots of pretty pictures and not so many complicated words. i understand.

>glaz kills the person im interrogating so i dont get any info
what the fuck
he just tked
what the fuck
that wasnt on purpose
goddamn slavnigger

It probably was. I do it as twitch and glaz all the time if I can't save them.

No offense user but your coloring is awful

>South Korea CTU for next year
>They name the female operator Diva

To me? All the time.

That saves it as a text doc.

I think it's spelled D.Va

>glaz can shoot you
>shoots his teammate instead

noice

did the tinypic work user?

>When you get called a hacker in casual
Mmmmmmmmmmm.

yep couldve shot me and then revived his teammate
shot his teammate instead
then me, because apparently my target dying doesn't break me out of the animation

/r/ing pic of operator in deep shock trying to get info out of a victim without a head

How were you not shot if he could shoot your interrogationee?

Snitches get stitches.

Glaz is Russian. He's just maximum roleplay.

why is echo the best defensive operator?

Yep.

He isn't. The amount of work you have to put in to make use of him isn't worth the effort. The yokai drone is interesting in a sense, but requires good communication skills to make use of. His guns are both amazing and shit at the same time contributing to the worth being unable to match the effort issue.

They need to either make him 2/2 on armor and speed, increase the damage on the MP5SD, increase the fire rate of the super nova, or give him 2 drones for long term value.

As it is you can just play Valkyrie and get all of Echo's utility with better weapons(Even post nerf on them), losing only the sonic blast in the process.

He's hella fun, but not the best.

is playing valkyrie and getting the perfect camera placement the best feeling ever?

>Thatcher to avoid cockblocking

>Only 1 slot left, I guess Sledge/Buck for breaching utility and nades
>Done

Seems to me that defense lineup is extremely flexible with who you can get away with picking, but attack simply has a "correct" lineup.

Nah, you can get away with almost anyone on attack, as long as you have a reinforced wall breacher and Thatcher.

I pick buck for his CAMRS

don't give a fuck if we 0-2

>It's a "Die because the netcode let Sledge see you when he sprint in to the room while you tried to sprint out, so he onetaps you with his ghost magic" episode.

I always thought it'd be nice to have a picking phase in ranked where you can counterpick each other
but then the whole UNKNOWN factor is lost

That's because your mind isn't flexible and you somehow believe there isn't a similarly strict "pro" meta for defense.

High tier games look the same on both sides across the board no matter who is playing.

Soft picks like castle or montange exist to throw a wrench into the gameplan right now, but once you're at the top the picks narrow on both sides just like all games.

yes.

don't you just find that so boring though?

ubisoft for fucks sakes PLEASE TAKE SOME NOTES

No, because at that point individual skill starts to show even more. When there is a universal tool set the quirks of a player show.

It's like how in Street Fighter they say you can really see what kind of player is, what their style is, based on their Ryu.

The meta gets tweaked and changed of course as they balance things and add new characters but characters that adhere to the fundamental goal of the game and functional within it at a level superior to the others will always be the top picks.

However we're also talking about high level play, not general play. The original post approached attacking with that in mind(high level play to win) while claiming defenders had more flexibility which isn't true at that level.

Certainly someone can use a low tier character, or an unusual team comp to win but they're going to have to work so much harder once the skill level increases. Yet it's at the higher levels that you really begin playing against other players.

>comparing harambe and friends: Defense of the Ancient League of Legends edition to a somewhat tactical shooter like R6

>mute and castle
if your idea is to block doors from being able to break them: no. fuck no man.
If you block interior doors you give the enemy a better angle of attack because now you can't flank around them in any effective manner. Barricades should only ever be doors and windows that lead to the outside and even then they're kind of questionable because someone like glaz loves to set up shots trough them, and they're basically free cover for fuze.
in short: using Castle is difficult and with all the defenders that are available there really are better options.

You could just have bans instead. That way they don't necessarily know what you brought, might need a few more operators though for something like that to be reasonable.

Why would you want to take notes from Overwatch? They should instead take notes from a successful game that doesn't have to try an reinvent itself constantly to stay relevant and stop the bleeding of users.

If Siege takes notes from Overwatch then they're more likely to kill Siege rather than continue the steady growth that got them to year 2 in the first place.

>It's like how in Street Fighter they say you can really see what kind of player is, what their style is, based on their Ryu.
They're all faggots.

Fuck Karate Man and his gay ass "My 3 hit safe combo does more damage than Juri's fucking 12 hit LMAO" memes.

>You could just have bans instead.

>Defense
>Ban Thermite and Hibana

>3v3 is a cartoony version of Sieg
I mean I get what you're going for but not really?

...what would happen if defenders weren't marked when outside the building?

>comparing a set of devs that are actually patching the game and experimenting with content to devs who play it so safe the game hasn't had a meaningful change in over a year

Yep there can be no comparison because the games are in different genres! (y)

I don't know, how about start by adding that game mode they promised and those "Seasonal Content and Events" they promised but we haven't seen?

thats why hes saying u might need more operators
epic cavia memes

user are you daft. We've literally got a seasonal event going on right now. It's shit sure but no different from what everyone else offers for seasonal events these days.

The only thing we haven't seen from that picture is a new game mode.

r6 fag since day 1 here. Fucking love overwatch. Amazing FPS. I see no reason why people would hate it. There might be a "I don't like team vs team hero based, goal structured FPS" but then again I wouldn't know why that person would be into R6 so much.

in my experience you're underselling the effect of the sonic blast.

with the cut down on round time it is an amazing deterrent and delay tactic. There've been several times on defense where, when outnumbered and holding the point, we've turned attackers away from a particular entrance using nothing but the drone because of how thoroughly it fucks with being able to jiggle-peek

>there can be no comparison because the games are in different genres!

Yeah, basically this.

Of course it would be a salty Jurifag that doesn't understand what the statement means.

It suffers from Blizzard syndrome.

Every match is the same and the balance is fucking ass, and takes four months to get fixed.

I like the game but it gets old, and fast.

Whats the seasonal event? Please tell me. I sure hope you don't mean the turkey leg charm.

I have 10x the hours in Siege than I do Overwatch, and still play Siege more than I do Overwatch, but whenever I go on Overwatch there seems to be something *new* and when I go on Siege I tend to have to make my own fun by going "Well I'm gonna play Montagne and try and make it work today"

You are an idiot friendo

Newfag here, what's the concensus on supressors?

Shit, only use on pistols (for sneaky murderholes) and caveira

So you're being daft on purpose. Good for you I suppose.

if you plan to flank can be decent. should put one on glazes sidearm, otherwise pass.

Shit, because you can still see the bullet trails. They are good to put on pistols, however, because it allows you the OPTION of being silent... but for most guns a suppressor is just a massive handicap.

Run a Muzzle Break 24/7.

>comparing a set of devs that are actually patching the game and experimenting with content to devs who play it so safe the game hasn't had a meaningful change in over a year
you're simply retarded if you think R6 Siege was the game for Ubi to take massive risks with. It's awesome that the game has increased in playerbase size as it was a genuine tossup as to what would happen.

Also, Activision Blizzard is fucking massive when it comes to money. They can afford to make gay as fuck cartoony games based around meme mobas in FPS form.

Ubisoft, not so much. I'd be assmad if the devs spent resources trying to come up with some fucking nitro cell based soccer match or whatever gay shit blizzard pumps out and calls content.

What heritage does Overwatch need to nurture? Jack shit unlike Rainbow Six which has a rich history of tacticool.

I know what that statement means, but Ryu's still fucking cunt. I could even replace Juri with Ibuki. Or Rashid. Or half the cast.

>You are an idiot friendo

That's your opinion and I value your opinion because we all have our own.

It's okay brother. He probably thinks Quake and ARMA are the same game.
