Previous thread:

Not relevant, but does anyone know if DSP is still a thing? Didn't he get banned and beg for donations or something? Of jack off on camera? I don't keep up with news on this retarded shit but it came up in conversation and I'm curious.

She used Photoshop too much

3rd for reddit

my chest gets tight whenever i look at frost
what does this mean?

see a doctor

Next year hopefully. There's already a Finnish winter camo weapon skin so that's probably a foreshadowing of things to come.

Anyone on PC getting an abnormally high amount of crashes after Blood Orchid patch? Seems like a common issue after checking various forums for PC users. For me, the game ran fine pre-patch and I never got any crashes. I wonder what Ubi broke in the Blood Orchid patch.

Haven't touched this game in months and actually just reminded myself of it. I see they removed lighting from the game? wat, did they fix hitreg?

ela on tachanka turret is actually the best thing ever

nth for this general will never be comfy again

I'm actually legit pissed at how fucking obvious waifu bait fanservice Ela is. Dyed hair, yoga pants, fucking page of backstory, even has that shitty unique portrait. I'm fucking mad, dude. I just want some more tacticool shit like the base ops, not this Overwatch tier bullshit.

literally every single one of the 8 placement matches I've played so far had leavers and team killers
give me a single fucking reason not to uninstall this game right this moment

Who /shit KD/
I get a fuckton of points from gadgets/assists and whatnot but my .73 ranked KD is making me want to an hero

Are there any simple ways to improve it beyond not peeking like a retard which I need to stop doing

>removed lighting
Reworked, its way fucking better
Personally can't speak on hitreg, but I see the patch as a net positive. Just annoyed that they removed 2 maps from casual and now have a muh esl rotation in ranked.

I wish she still had the blonde hair the first leaked pics showed her with, way cuter imo.

only because you asked

My favorite is the special snowflake laser

She's just fucking ugly all around, I don't want waifushit clogging up this game but this isn't really a step in the right direction either.

>new map appears
>have to crank up brightness because it's so dark
>go back to another map
>next map
>have to tone the brightness back because it's actually well lit

The map's layout is bad enough, the light is just the cherry on top of the shitstain

...

Is this one of those games for good people only

Because I'm not that good

Remember when the main menu backgrounds were neat pictures of Operators?

wat you say?

"She's just fucking ugly all around, I don't want waifushit clogging up this game but this isn't really a step in the right direction either."

>her face

Play with a team, drone more, know when to flank and when to wait for a flank, use a good stereo headset, pre-aim and pre-fire, dont use lasers, use muzzle brake, dont use suppressor unless you are accurate and have 800+ firerate

There are people of all skill levels. You'll get shit on at the beginning but that's just part of it. If you can handle monumental amounts of bullshit and (((ubisoft))) the game can actually be >fun

Are connection errors and rubberbanding my fault or the game's because I've been getting a lot of disconnects in League too.

i've only had one so far

So I play on PC and PS4, my PC's working fine but it's impossible for me to connect to Ubi servers on Playstation. Anyone know what's going on with that?

New player, they have emotes or poses or something for the characters at the end of a game? Most dudes just shrug and junk.

This new patch is a bunch o bollocks

that was when siege still had a budget for that stuff

...

Most ops just do the shrug and stare. Elite skins (the ones that are bought with $15 worth of r6credits) have unique MVP animations.

I hate this game. What do I replace it with?

I'm working to apply at ubisoft montreal, apply as a programmer, then get the game fixed.

Any suggestions?

Please respond

Huh, so apparently when Cav enters stealth mode and melees now she throws a left hook instead of a knife

Nothing because there's nothing else to play

if you like the destructibility=Battlefield
if you like strategy=Squad or Arma
if you like competitive shooters=CSGO or PUBG

Kill me.

You mean melee against an enemy player? That's always been a thing

Quake

Nah m8
I was able to punch non reinforced walls which was retarded

WORKS

Have a webm or video?

i want to suck the polish clean off IQs sexy toes!

maybe it's using old settings or something along those lines
or maybe it's just their incompetence

Rework headshot already

My friend says the frame has dropped since the update. Why is that?

temporal filtering went poof it gave like 30-50 frames and made it grainy a bit

>not elaborating

you want cs headshots?

>them park map happens
>game goes into five nights mode with roaming caveiras and elas

Getting stunned by ela's trap followed by a bitch slap and interrogation from caveira is scarier than any jumpscare

My heart's always pumping fast when I'm an attacker

so what is the sound effect for the candela?
like what do we type in text?

>win a a match were I did will
>win alpha pack at 12%
>it's a rare weapon skin
>it's a duplicate
>get 550 reown instead of an option to reroll

this made me exhale more than normal

>tfw WUS says 38MS in the menu
>get in game and it says 80 ping every single game

At least I sometimes got 60 ping before. How is the netcode THIS terrible?

Armor should protect head
Apply armor damage reduction to headshots too

only one question
would tachanka's helmet work and why it would be so funny if it did

>approve
>wine bandy
>very delicious

>new patch
>some sounds don't trigger half of the time

Shooting and hearing nothing sucks. And it goes both ways, having no sound from enemy weapons either, which gets me killed.

Even worse, sometimes there's no sound for fuze's pucks flying away. You just see something coming from the window and then you die. I relied on hearing fuze put his charge on the window to take his ass down now it's unreliable. Please revert the patch

I exhaled sharply the first time I saw hot/sweet/candy beer

Only if it makes very loud clonk sound if you hit it

and if it had like echo's stun effect like his helmet was like a fucking bell

Is luison's suppressed shotgun meant to be heard like it's right next to you across the map?
Or his SMG for that matter?

>Playing with friends

Anybody else felt like the hitreg has been fucked?

Goodnight anons. I hope you all do well in your matches and have fun! I want all of you to know that you are all very cute

>gets 550 renown for free
>still crys like a bitch
Entitled little faggots today

i think servers are a bit wonked from all the new stuff and the infrastructure changes they were talking about

>renown
>Worth anything

i havent noticed any hit reg stuff
i have noticed that peakers advantage had been fixed a bit
ive been getting shit on more when i rush and an anchor buttfucks me 7 ways from sunday

dude you get those alpha packs from playing the game for a grand total of free

>free anything
>just for playing the game
>still not good enough for entitled little children
Pathetic

Hypertension

whats your opinion on this seasons skins? i think they all look nice except plinkys arcade

do the servers seem worse for anyone else?

i swear the latency took a nosedive with this update.

i havent gotten plinkys but i think its nice
but i can see how its the weakest out of the 5

True, should have gone for other kind of Polish girls.

>tfw you and a ragtag group of southerners beat carrylad and his group of shitters on a map none of you know your way around yet

>carrylad
what did he mean by this

>guy on the losing team did a honest effort to win the game
>his potato teammates fucked him up big time

Man I feel bad for the dude with 13 fucking kills, ranked sucks balls sometimes

>PUBG
>competitive
>when the majority of whether or not you're likely to win is loot-spawn RNG
That's a good one user.
Really though, it may be a fun semi-casual game, but I will never use the word "competitive" for a game with core systems like that.

imma dox the shit outta soulripper6900

Yeah, I feel him honestly. Only in the middle of the team there but been in plenty of situations where I'm top while my team is just doing nothing. Sucks, but I'm just happy we turned that around after he clutch aced us the first round, and 4k'd the second.

>one decent player rekts me and my team
>he only loses because he's paired with brand new players
>HAHAHHA IM AWESOME!!!
What a faggot

i mean, i've heard the first person mode is pretty good

if only he had ONE competent teammate. He deserved to win

It's still completely random who wins based on loot and outright luck of the draw.

you're not wrong there, but the late game strategies and balancing the circle and enemy players is real fun and tense

It's clunky.

Anyone have that Cav/Frost image where it's the Ching Chong Nip Nong cat?

>implying
While loot is pretty important all you need is a basic AR and you can win matches through skill alone. AR's are legitimately everywhere, unlike 3p first person means anyone can win since the final fights don't come down to whoever gets the circle.

>late game strategy
Hiding in a bush waiting for other ppl to move first?
>fun and tense
Yes
>competitive
Nope

>3-0 shutout
>6 kills no deaths
>mfw mvp as the foot goddess
side note: how bad are they gonna nerf ela?
she is ridiculously op

there is some real mind game mumbo jumbo going on sometimes
and i could argue you against 99 other people with only your wits and knowledge of the map is pretty competitive
