/r6g/ - Rainbow Six General

>Division's year 2 lineup is awful because of their health update

Divisions LAUNCH content was shoddy because the people who developed that game were not people who understood the core fundamentals of an MMORPG. This is why Ubisoft came in and basically told the dev team to fuck off while they try and salvage the game, or at the very least, salvage the brand so everyone comes back the next time. I don't know fully about Year 2's content but that is also cause nobody I know stayed for year 1 LOL

If we look at the basic facts it really seems like they fucked up and are trying to cover it up. Siege's overall patching history and direction has been questionable, a number of changes suspect, common sense defied on numerous occasions, and have released maps of widely varying quality with the last 3 maps in a row having very similar design elements. And when it came time to actually launch the content (that should have been done), we got told it isn't coming and instead we will be focusing on health, but they delayed commenting on what they were working on. Had they been working on this stuff for the last 1-2 months you think they'd have a basic idea of what they'd be fixing, but we had to wait to even get those comments.

I want to be charitable to Ubisoft because they did create a game I love, but if we utilize Occams Razor here to look at these facts it really just seems like there is no other explanation than they severely fucked up and needed an "out"

Still better than For Honor which has just been getting assfucked hard on Ubi support.

Division felt like it was finally going somewhere after 1.5, and this is what I'm basing a lot of this stuff from. These are the only devs that I know of that interact with the community. Albeit massive is still retarded, but at least the community managers are readable. You can feel their masked anger with the boss because they know what the game needed. You can tell they're angry that had to slam on the brakes when the player base was finally coming back to the game.

The problem that plagues ubisoft games is every time they fix something they break 4 other things.

I just see a pattern is all. Maybe the code is as bummy as it sounds, and they're trying to improve it. Maybe boss man is taking a step back and trying to improve their existing ip's. Maybe they fucked up simple shit like map design. Maybe the lead mapper(s) cut ties and moved on.
Who knows.

You going to say anything else or just greentext?

THE PAIN OF THIS CARRY MY BACK CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE

atleast you won, havoc and thats all that matters

thanks man that makes it slightly better

Can anyone confirm, does dropping the armor bag in front of drone holes block them?

>picking attackers
>go for Thermite
>someone else picks Hibana
>change operator because now I've been completely invalidated

A really big fucking lack of self worth coming right up. :(

I'm not sure if it still works, but it definitely worked back then. It's honestly not worth wasting a few seconds to block a drone hole with the armor bag anyway.

What do you type when you win a match?

Nothing. I have chat disabled.

"cyka blyat :))))))))"

it's not fair bros

Operation health will bring him back to greatness. It has to.

unironically selling carried to plat 3. Not cheap though but guaranteed. You can play on your own account while we do it.

mega easy

What was your most fucked up situation in game? Did you managed to get away from it?

>"""carrying""" to plat 3
lmao look at these cute barely plat niggers trying to make a buck on boosting.

I don't remember the most fucked up one but the one I escaped the most extravagantly
>defense on oregon
>gsg9 recruit
>last one live
>kill the entire attacking team one by one
>win
Felt pretty good desu

We can boost to diamond too but not much point desu.

is this game dead?

What the fuck is the point of using a shield against any skill level high enough to just shoot your exposed arm off?

That's why you only use Blitz or Montagne

>blitz

They just shoot you in the head at that point

You're not playing blitz right

Roaming as Bandit on Coastline, it suddenly got down to 1v5. I sprinted back to Blue Bar and somehow managed to kill four of them with the m870 without thinking, just dodging back and forth. The only reason we didn't lose right away was because Ash got stuck in a Frost trap right next to the hostage, and that delayed the attackers just as I showed up.

This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Is it worth getting the standard edition on sale for €20 if I only have one friend to play with?
What's it like playing this by yourself?

It's hell. Make some friends.

>What's it like playing this by yourself?
Varies wildly. It can be a nightmare if you keep getting matched with assholes who teamkill etc

Playing with a friend is infinitely more fun though. As long as your one friend will play with you a reasonable amount of the time, I think you guys will have a good time.

well porn saved overwatch from dying, can it also save siege now that IQ's sfm model is out?

>not even best girl

Welp, I see a problem it is you

>What's it like playing this by yourself?
It's okay, siege has a relatively decent community but you're still going to get matched with idiots from time to time. having a friend to coordinate with makes it much more enjoyable.

Well here's a bad picture I just made, inspired by the actually good art based off of a few similar pictures

Disclaimer: I am not an artist. Or atleast not a very good one.

why is jager so fucking good
why is he so fun
i dont even spawn peek

youtube.com/watch?v=HhoUQgO2Riw

anyone know if spawn location for attacker in casual is locked to defender spawn?
say defenders spawns lockers on hereford would attackers always spawn shooting range?
or is it random for both?
had a game where we had 2 clan fags playing jager/bandit spawn rush us in casual twice so i was wondering how they knew what spawn to run out all the time.

It isn't. They can spawn in other locations.

Rainbow Six by NWI, that would be the dream.
Cant think of a better combo.

In casual, both attacker and defender spawn are random.
> i was wondering how they knew what spawn to run out all the time.
They just guessed, correctly, which spawn you were at. Each map only has three or four spots, and they can tell in a few seconds if you're there or not.

why is plat so easy bros? I thought plat was supposed to be a challenge

I'm new to this game, but I want to be as helpful as I can to my team - I'm never sure who to pick though.

I know it's not good to just always go for a set operator, but I'd like to know anyway:
Who do you love seeing the most on your team, for either defense or attack? Who do you want to see the least on your team?
Who do you hate going up against the most?

>playing cav for BOPE challenge
This is basically cheating in casual.

Depends on who you prefer. All of the operators are valuable to a degree. Besides TACHANKA. Thatcher needs to be used more.

Read the op. Always good to have are thermite, sledge, thatcher, twitch, (don't get your drone shot during prep), blackbear, buck, hibana, mute, smoke, rook, jäger, pulse (stay near teammates and call out attackers on voice com), valk, mira.

I'll give you 5 on each side so you'll always be able to take one of them in case your team picks all the others.

ATK:
>Thermite
>Thatcher
>Sledge
>Twitch
>Ash

DEF:
>Rook
>Doc
>Jager
>Mute
>Bandit

All have gadgets that are always helpful, but aren't overly technical or otherwise difficult to use. No one will get mad at you for picking these ops (unless they're an Ash/Jager main and screech at you for stealing them).

>wrong nail polish color

this game isnt overwatch where you want to see specific ops on your team except for a good jager/valk/smoke on defence and ash/hibana on offense.
since anyone can kill in one hit you mostly want people who can play well rather than specific ops.

you best contribute to your team by playing something your good on and getting frags when opportunity arises since thats what wins you the game.
but for a new player operators like rook/mute are great on defence since you dont need map knowlage to roam/flank and can just anchor down on site.
on attack sledge is a great pick for a new player since he has a good kit and lets you experiment with sieges destruction mechanics.
for some reason people here say to get thermite/thatcher first as a new player but if you dont know how to use their gadgets correctly you do more harm than good.
if you arent good in straight up gunfights avoid picking ash/jager and let someone who can frag have them.

>I'm never sure who to pick though.
Rook on defense and Thatcher on offense are always safe picks and easy to be effective with.

>Who do you love seeing the most on your team, for either defense or attack?
Depends, every op can be invaluable in the right map and situation.

>Who do you want to see the least on your team?
Tachanka and Kapkan

>Who do you hate going up against the most?
High ping ash players and glaz faggots

The problem with sledge is that you need good map knowledge to be effective with him where as thatcher all you need to do is throw your grenade on the objective and your job is done.

So nobody wants to talk about how they nerfed glaz's damage on the TTS? It used to be 152

It doesn't have severe drop off anymore.

Means long range is still 2 hits, but he cant 1 hit you in close quarters with smoke anymore.

Looks like suppressor is no longer viable.

the amount of times ive seen tatchers throw their emp into ADS and random corners wasting them is enough reason for me to believe a new player should not play him.
sledge has a better sidearm and frags with a gadget that lets you experiment since it has alot of charges, theres depth to him for sure but hes easy to do well on even as a new player while thatchers gadget can be wasted completely by someone who doesnt know what hes doing.

>caveira's pistol is now the strongest weapon in the game

I think Ubisoft really makes a good job here saying "dont ever play glaz again"

hes still the same at ranges he was meant to be played in, he just isnt a pointman with a 1 hit kill and predator vision in close quarters.
just kidding his recoil is unchanged so he will still deck before you can react, it just takes 2 body shots now

Oh boy, I can't wait for loot boxes/alpha packs.

Suppressors often increase bullet velocity, along with accuracy; Siege making suppresors reduce damage only makes sense as a gameplay balance mechanic.

>Suppressors often increase bullet velocity, along with accuracy
Yeah that extra barrel length doesn't mean shit when you have to use subsonic ammo

desu i like that they are adding these in, i have so much renown and nothing to spend it on like anyone who played this game for over 200 hours, 5k a pack is alright and i saw that they drop the black ice skins and others that arent available anymore so why not.

Can you get alpha packs just by playing or do you need to always purchase them?

Literally read the image.

>Suppressors often increase bullet velocity, along with accuracy
shooting normal munition on a rifle that you slapped a suppressor on will cause it to overgas and malfunction.
suppressed rifles use lower grain bullets that are often subsonic and suppressors arent a barrel extension with rifling that increase accuracy.
a suppressors job is to eliminate muzzle flash and lower the sound signature (not by much on rifle sized calibers) of the shot by absorbing the gas leaving the barrel into its housing.

>shooting normal munition on a rifle that you slapped a suppressor on will cause it to overgas and malfunction.
This isn't exactly universal but otherwise agreed.

If i unlock something in tts will i have the skins in normal game?

no

dead bread?

We've been Health'd.

is matimio the worst fucking rainbow six siege youtuber ever or is it just me?

Who's your favourite r6s youtuber? Mine's thomi

He's not that bad. Thomi and Sergio are bottom of the barrel.

I don't mind matimio himself but his plays are gold-tier

Yeah I know what you mean, still, I meant personality wise

How do I get into copper rank without fucking up everyone else's rank that I play with? Or is that not possible?

It is not possible without causing immense suffering and rage to your fellow man.

I just hope they leave some decent stuff OUT of the packs. Having to grind out packs just for a decent skin would be a nightmare. Especially if they're only available for a limited time. (Looking at you Overwatch!)

There really isn't a way.

Is Kapkan ever really a justifiable pick other than for fun?
Seems like his entire kit is just "gee I hope they don't check rooms before entering" - which to me seems like it's not gonna net you much of anything.

And even the benefit of hearing the enemy approach when they destroy your traps can be done with cameras.

No, he's for fun and fucking around, exclusively.

He's decent for stopping teams that LOVE to rush. If you know the enemies love to spam/rush with Ash, make sure you don't get spotted in prep phase and set up your traps. There's a decent chance they'll run straight into it.

Immense pain it is then
