Echo would use Echoes though

any one here bothered to try out wildlands?

i love frost

i got into the closed beta thanks to an user on /v/
it was pretty fun, it was kind of shitty at the same time
i heard its way more fun once you get out of the beginning area
ill probably get it on sale for like $15 in a year or two

>Witness the power of my stand [Mr. Roboto]

so do i

Yeah, I like it. It's not great and feels kinda like Future Soldier-tier retarded bullshit if you play on the absolute hardest but it's still great fun. The open world is really pretty and tacticool crouch walking into down and silenced shooting a bunch of nerds is always fun.

I like it and don't regret buying but you may wanna wait for a sale.

>tfw not white so BLACKED doesnt affect me

>implying BLACKED won't affect you

He's coming for you, user.

ew gross, why would he be thinking of me while coming?

dead?

here's what the commonwealth flag looks like

oh

...

Wheres my Union Jack ubi?

What are the worst guns in the game?

tfw i thought it would be a british flag since it was win rounds as SAS

me too

Whichever ones your team is currently using.

>People ITT not knowing what the Commonwealth nations are

WHEW

i know what the commonwealth of nations is, but the challenge was win 30 rounds with the SAS so naturally i'm going to assume that it's going to be a union jack. a challenge that would have made more sense (and been more fitting) would be win X number of rounds with SAS or JTF2 as oppose to giving them separate challenges.

We haven't had a war against the Commonwealth yet, how else would we know?

We already got the union jack at some point in the past, don't remember what for though.

no we haven't gotten the union jack charm yet. there have been union jack themed weapon skins and a mute headgear though.

Can a drawfriend do an edit of this with Echo?

wrong
see here

When will the 3 speed peeksters of small hitboxes be deleted from the game?

What's the wording on the challenge say?

education
ɛdjʊˈkeJʃ(ə)n
noun
1.
the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.

I could've sworn I had seen a Union Jack charm once before

For attacker guns with no alternative, descending order:
Thermite's 556xi
Capitao's Para-308
Blackbeard's Scar-H

Defender guns, descending order:
Valkyrie's MPX
Smoke's FMG-9
Rook/Doc's P90, Echo's MP5SD (debatable)
Mute's MP5k

Dogshit tier:
Capitao's M249
GIGN P9 pistol

theres a union jack bundle for mute but the charm is a tea bag

How is the SG556 any worse than the L85?

What wrong with the Scar?

>GIGN P9 pistol

TAKE THAT BACK

If were doing samurai jack

Id prefer this with Echo and sledge

youtube.com/watch?v=L-LyFMCIpok

Is this bait because the guns you listed are at least adequate.

The 556xi has high horizontal recoil, second only to the Scar-H. Its vertical recoil is also wildly random on the first and second shot, so you can never learn to pull down the muzzle perfectly 50% of the time. It has low ammo pool, high recoil, slow firerate, and not enough damage to compensate. The L85 is perfectly usable and average, being the most stable and easiest AR to control outside of the C7E.

Nothing much, it's not hard to use but low damage, low firerate, and high horizontal deviation in a spray means it's on the lower end of ARs

Name a SINGLE gun worse than the P9

Doc's gadget gun. I don't think I've gotten a single kill while using it.

...

>Ywn get caught in one of Frosts traps and proceed to be raped by her

Whats the point of living?

I've gotten ASSISTS with it. That's more than the P9 could ever do.

>tfw you will never give frost heart pupils

Why so slow? I know it's a Wednesday, but it's normally not nearly this dead this time of night.

Servers are up so everyone is playing the game

HOW the FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO CONTROL THE C8's RECOIL

Fucking canadians every time

get good

>he down move his mouse down to compensate for recoil
how copper r u?
also use the muzzle brake

broski do you even move your mouse

Is it weird that I love Fuze's LMG?

no,
it's pretty fucking fun

Nah. It's easily the most usable of all the LMGs and a decent alternative to the AK-12.

>Get matched up against the same rank 200 diamond players 5 games in a row

>In the event that we are not able to double the Renown of the Commonwealth Day Challenge itself

Back up the fucking phone Ubisoft. Are you telling me a multi-billion dollar company in one of their most successful multiplayer games can't edit a numerical value on a spread sheet?

Is there a downside to the range extender? Frost's only other option for her SMG is a suppressor, which sucks

How much longer do we have on these challenges?

>B E T A
:^)

Recoil is increased by a very small amount, and unless things have been changed since the last time I've seen, damage at range is normally only going to be increased by around 4-5 at max, normally 3.
I prefer not using it on Frost's smg since the long barrel can occasionally give you away, and it's really not enough of an upside for me to give a shit either way.

spaghetti code.
From everything I've seen of the issues Siege has, it seems like they almost never fucking ever write their code with the future, or modularity in mind.
Every time they make a major change to the core of the game, it just fucks with something else because they don't isolate their variables or mechanics well enough.

>spaghetti code

This triggers me the most. Because it's either insane incompetence on the sustainment team, or the team who made the game just threw this together without a second thought really.

I really, really want to like this game but every single way in which Ubisoft is approaching it is fucking terrible.

>or the team who made the game just threw this together without a second thought really.

Question: what weapons have a burst fire mode? I know the GIGN MP5 has a 3-round burst and Thatcher's AR33 has a 2-round burst. Any others? I would think Mute's MP5K and FBI's UMP would have burst modes, but I haven't checked.

Anybody use burst fire?

Even the stuff the current team CAN control, like community outreach, they don't do right. It's so fucking hard to find communications. The website takes a million years to load, and going to the "blog" I got hit with an age gate... All the things in the blog are marketing communications about bundles and shit for sale.

Their official forums is a small icon on the below, after stuff like their YT Channel and Twitch.

I really hate how Blizzard can make their community manager and all their forums feels like an indie game, and Siege, the game that has much more of a soul and personality to it, feels like this empty husk of financial exploitation and hat sales.

Wait, when did they add barrel attachments to pistols? Is that why I cant hit drones with them for shit anymore? They increased recoil on sidearms?

Mira's vector has a burst.

The biggest reason for that is the split between corporate and development sides of the company.
With Blizzard, the side that manages and decides where the money goes is more closely related to the dev team, and there's a lot more creative freedom due to that.
With Ubi, the corporate side is more separated from the developers, and generally has the final word on decisions, and can push content deadlines upon the devs that can distract them from keeping their priorities in check (ex: bugfixes before new content)
Since Ubi is relatively larger in scale, corporate looks at the big picture, mostly with money in mind, and ignores important details that need attention like major bugs or server quality. They see content releases drawing in the most players, so they prioritize those over stabilizing the game's core.

Recoil never changed for pistols, muzzle Brakes on them effectively acted as a buff for pistols across the board.
I have no clue why you're having a harder time hitting drones though, perhaps they slimmed down their hitboxes at some point without telling anyone.

Siege had a strong start?

This is why I enjoy that my premade group uses 5 o clock, 6 o clock ect. As directional callouts. Makes callouts a lot more accurate.

>>Spaghetti code from the early times haunts them to this day

I guarantee you all the important people on developing the project pre-release, are no longer here post release. If you don't think Ubisoft didn't assign them to a project with *real* importance after they finished shitting this game out, you are mistaken.

Ubisoft didn't even really believe in this game until, what, a year in?

I think you are also downplaying the competence of the developers. I'd agree with your assessment it's corporate simply fucking up the social aspect, but even with the changes we DO get, they make almost no sense. Do you remember when they buffed Pulse, and everyone was universally WTFing about why Pulse, of all people, got a Buff? There are a ton of patches that have incredible displays of pure incompetence to just think critically about choices, and even issues that should be somewhat easy to fix (Blitz) just simply aren't getting done now going on a year and a half into the game.

So I don't know what the ratio of corporate fuckery to people just being shit at their job is, but I'd probably put it at 50/50. Maybe the dev team also genuinely feels that having an accessible community with personality isn't important?

It must have at least seemed that way to corporate, since they did end up getting cleared for a full year of free dlc content shortly after launch.
People were really excited for its launch because it looked fresh, and despite drawing in a more niche crowd than other major FPS titles it got a good player draw anyways.

muzzle break goes a long way

They got a community manager they dont need anything else :^)

>since they did end up getting cleared for a full year of free dlc content shortly after launch.

This is incorrect. Development of DLC is rolled into the budget of the core game, and Season Pass DLC's are viewed as free profit.

>have community manager
>manages the community by trying not to have one
>rarely shitposts on reddit to give the impression Ubisoft are actual human beings and not rubber skin'd robots

Just use cardinal directions retard

Thats not as specific as clock directions faggot.

>what are secondary intercardinal directions

>I guarantee you all the important people on developing the project pre-release, are no longer here post release
As far as I've seen, most of the project directors and major art/design directors are still on the project, but you're right there is a good chance that lead programmers they had for pre-release were moved onto something else, but its hard to say. None of us work for them.

>Do you remember when they buffed Pulse
Yes I do, but I can also say I think the balance changes they have made have generally been 60/40 good/bad. We've had some shit changes, like the recent Fuze overbuff and the pulse Buff, but a lot of the other changes that have been made to the game have served to make it better.
I think the devs suffer from not playing their own game enough though, that might be a big part of the problem.
Even though I think most changes have been for the better, the few bad ones that have made it in, Blackbeard included, just seem like they would NEVER be thought of by someone that actually played the game on a regular basis.

>Still not as specific

>Development of DLC is rolled into the budget of the core game
Is that necessarily true for all games? It makes sense for Siege, since the delay between launch and their year one content schedule release was really short, but I can't imagine every game is created and launched with a full year of DLC planned in advanced, aside from obvious titles like Battlefield and Call of Duty.

Fuze was overbuffed? Seems to me it was just enough for anyone to want to play him.

SW is SW. 5 O'clock from the orientation of the speaker, the ally being talked about, the ally being talked to, the target, the room? Having to specify an orientation with every direction costs brevity.

I'm talking about making callouts while spectating.

I thought that was what we were talking about.

>As far as I've seen, most of the project directors and major art/design directors are still on the project

I'm speculating but I'd like to find out how much of the staff was retained pre and post launch. Funny thing is even if lets say the project director, or lead game designer, stays on, if all his people under him moved to greener pastures, it can still have the impact I'm talking about.

But we have to agree the pre and post launch Operators and maps have had a huge quality shift. I wouldn't say they are all bad, per say, but none of the DLC maps are on the same tier as some of the best.

Random tangent thought, one of the DLC's I'd love to see them release two smaller, House sized maps instead of the large ass maps we've been getting. I think it'd be really neat to have more of those really tight, focused battle spaces

>60/40 good/bad

That is a bad ratio, like a defies common sense ratio. I don't think "playing the game" has anything to do with it really. Division had the same problems, where even on paper the raw gameplay loops, how the Dark Zone works, and all the stuff... It didn't work on paper.

It all comes down to the puppet master pulling the strings suffers from severe autism

Do people really think Fuze is OP now? He's fine now tbḫ. He's a 1 speed fatass. They have nothing else going for them so they need all the help they can get.
