/r6g/ - Rainbow Six General

Same. I like the setup phase more than the rest of the game, planning out a good defense, trying to get randos to listen to me when I tell them to reinforce exterior walls instead of the closet we control the entrance to, figuring out the best coverage areas for ADS, hiding Kapkan traps in just the right spot, etc.

Then the game starts and all that shit barely matters anyway, but whatever.

>tfw actually fine with Kapkan's rework

Fag.

Has the base game been updated yet?

Wow I don't like the new uPlay Club Challenges tab

The midseason patch releases tomorrow during the day, if that's what you're asking about.

Ubisoft is getting fucked by how they have designed Siege

>Release character specific cosmetics that cost real money as high as 15 dollars
>They are all character model cosmetics you can't even see unless it's MVP screen since the game is fucking first person
>The first person view ones are a reskib, not even a model change for 15 dollars
>Game is based around making optimal strategies not maining heroes, so in serious play you might not get to use your elite skins

>Sell the awesome looking seasonal skins for in-game cash, and then Disney vault them away so you can't even pay real money on them after the season, promising they are forever exclusive
>Put them in loot crates later but dish out one skin at a time

>Can't make amazing gun or weapon cosmetics because you need to use different characters
>Can't make amazing skins willy nilly because 900 guns in the game
>have to make weapon charms
>They suck mostly

>The community ironically makes the worse character in the game a God.
>Ubisoft adopts this and makes him the mascot of Siege
>2 years in he's still bad
>No word of a new patch

Has a game ever been this poorly monetized and managed? How would you make Siege better?

>love attacking but hate defending

I feel like everyone but Jager is shit

So Kapkans lasers arent even invisible and he doesnt get an instakill. Both Russian defenders are now fucking useless.
Why does Ela still have a 50 round drum
I hope Vivendi fires these schmucks

I'll accept the inconvenient reorganization of the tab, now that we're able to activate all weekly challenges simultaneously.

>focus on le wacky XD cosmetics instead of cutomizable Operator gear

Seriously why does EVERY game have to have all this goofy shit in it now?

I would pay $7 for a Mateba pistol/revolver skin

It's a way to stand out from the crowd, aside from being good and skilled at the game. Same reason people get LEDs for their computer cases and gaming gear.

Being able to enable all challenges makes it that much better

>Fixed – Voice chat can be heard between different PVP games.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST IS THIS REAL

Wouldn't it make more sense to try and stand out by looking cool rather than retarded?

If the goal is simply to stand out, "looking cool" gets less attention than something atrocious. You easily remember the guy with hot pink weapons, a monster-movie mask, and shiny gold accents on his uniform, even if you think he's dressed like an idiot, right?

Not really, when everyone looks like a clown it's very forgettable, ironically. I'm more likely to remember a guy with a cool practical looking setup than some wacky bright colors and a horse mask, because something that looks cool and interesting is something you can take inspiration from for yourself.

that's what i like about ghost wildlands, at least
i mean sure, there's an option to dress like a fucking hippie or in civil war shit, but i haven't seen a single person who's bought, or wears any of that crap. everyone's tactical as fuck

picture unrelated, but also related

I'm mid gold, when does hell where people mark enemies with your drones to rack up points end? Platinum? Diamond? I'm sick of this shit.

Too bad the game sucks.

The Division had a mostly good operator aesthetic going on. The main problem was the fucking stupid one strap backpacks and some of the later gear was way overdesigned to look "futuristic".

the ride never ends

Im high plat-diamond and I can tell you I do it all the time on other peoples drone for fun cause I know it bugs them.

>Always pinging on someone elses Valk cams and drones
>Blame it all on someone else when he gets mad
Who else here is /devilish/?

what a mad lad

>throw EMP against wall
>"Cardiac Sensor disabled"

>planning

Lmao you’re the gayest user I’ve ever read thx for the chuckle

>planning
Wew xd

Is there any way to see what I've opened from packs other than going through each character and weapon individually?

>Hishiro finally dating Kaizaki but not really because adults

Yeih but naih

it says it now?
or has it always done that?

Have you ever actually tried to shoot someone who's moving fast in the legs? It's not at all consistent int his game.

I'm curious to see if the old thunt protect hostage solo plane grind strat is curbed with the renown change. It wasn't as fast as house hostage rescue, but used to be my go to long ago.

Never.
The ranking system is nearly meaningless, because two years after launch, it's still in beta.
Pretty much the only thing you can safely conclude from someone's rank is how much they play the game.

>someone who's moving fast
blitz still has the same sprint speed as any other 3 armor op
the buff will mostly help people who already know how to be effective as blitz
not only is faster gap closing a flat buff, it also enables you to more selectively expose and hide bodyparts depending on stance

The patch notes say that renown gain in LW thunt will now be tied to time spent playing, rather than score, difficulty or win/loss(!).

I would assume they have some sort of system in place to prevent you from just setting it on realistic and going idle, letting it time out on bomb mode to acquire infinite good boy points.

>tfw just tried out the gign shotgun on twitch
the gun is a monster, it's just a shame the famas is even more ridiculous

What maps do you guys use shotguns on?
>inb4 none

Attacker shotguns never, unless it's for a recruit meme rush, or in some edge cases on Hibana, since the supernova is now half decent and she has a machine pistol to back it up.

And Buck

>obvious solution is to add real word operator as fuck head gear in addition to clown masks
>they release clown masks exclusively

>still haven't even gotten Camo reskins for operators
>they quite literally added it one time into the game for the Seals and then patched it out
>Still haven't seen it since
>Could easily sell it for a few dollars for 10k+ renown
>they don't

Fuck Ubisoft tbqh

probably too busy trying not getting btfo by vivendi

Just did a round like I posted above with Chanka and got 248 renown, which is about near the average I would get. I remember during free boost sessions it would go up to I think 300/350 limit, if it wasn't 400 limit.

Talking defenders mostly, I run shotgun on Smoke though honestly most of the killing comes from the SMG-11

On Frost for example I spend half the time when I have the SMG thinking "man, I'd really like the super 90 right now" and when I have the super 90 I think "man, I'd really like to have the smg right now"

i'm torn

>No one knows the beast that is shotty Sledge

>"shotguns rule lol"

simply epic

>no webm
Guaranteed you missed more than half of your shots

100% potato farmer

>The patch notes say that renown gain in LW thunt will now be tied to time spent playing, rather than score, difficulty or win/loss(!).
Oh fuck that. This just sounds like an excuse to throttle people who were doing the old strats

and just allaround punish people for being quick/skilled/efficient

>try to do Cav charm challenge
>get angry people in voice shitting on Cav and telling me to not pick her
>keep crying all game about how I somehow contributed to my teammates' stupidity when they run out and die
>do decent every time I play, get a few interrogations every round, etc
>third match in
>pick Cav and an extremely angry Russian guy showers me with every swear word from the Slavic language
>teamkills me instantly as we spawn
>"FUCK YOU BITCH YOU WERE GOING TO KILL US FUCK YOU"

The fuck is wrong with people? I expect this in Silver/Gold, but not in mid Plat.

That's why I only play casual

>cav in ranked

retard

It works and she's fun to play. I'll do whatever the fuck I want as long as I feel like I'm making an impact.

then don't whine when you get tk'd

Is rainbow six siege pandering to shitters now?

>I feel like I play well and can win games with this operators, thus I play this operator
>"lol don't cry about getting teamkilled then"

What kind of fucking retard logic is that?

One of the only maps I won't dick around with attacker shotguns is Bank, there are just too many wide open areas. Funnily enough I saw one of the asian pro league teams use Ying on Bank with the Six12 for one round and they got two or three kills by holding the hatch in cubicles.

>lemme post about my time where people bullied me for picking a class that I shouldn't pick
>"lol idc i do wat i want"

So do I, hence u got tk'd dumb fuck

>tfw they keep pushing this game in the pro/comp direction

Can they just fucking stop already? The siege pro scene is already a tier 1 meme. Trying to put this game on the same level as CSGO or even fucking CoD is a joke.

They just need to add, balance, and fix. Preferably more of the latter and less of the former. Trying to make this game more competitive and pro friendly is ruining this game along with the community.

sorry friends had to let my autism out of it's cage

>completely ignore the fact that I was doing fairly well and getting interrogations

Hmm... makes you think.

>tfw snapping to someone's head for the round ending killcam and people start suspecting you

>make game based on high level strategic play where you take tactical decisions and apply them into a multi round meta
>have heroes that have unique abilities that drastically change and alter the decisions you can make in a match

>have RNG recoil that requires an almost excessive amount of body hits but only one stray headshot will instantly kill everyone in the game

>be surprised your proleague is dog shit and nobody wants to watch it

unironically this

>Down someone as Cav and go for interrogation so we know where the last is and to defuse bomb
>Teammate kills him as i'm interrogating

WHAT IS WITH THESE PEOPLE?

when's the patch gonna hit live guys ?

>needing interrogations when people are actively communicating

*makes the brain wobble*

umm sweetie

They're probably just sneakily trying to reduce the amount of renown you can gain, so as to force people to buy shit with R6schekels.

you can stop worrying about grenades now

>have another one downed after interrogating the first one
>faggot ela teammate who only has 1 kill comes over to me and tries to kill my 2nd interrogation victim
>kill the downed one so that faggot doesn't get the kill
motherfucker I hate these cunts

>want to watch twitch aim FPS pro league
>have to deal with these weird meta strats that involve insanely deep map knowledge to understand why teams are making the decisions they do or why even picking certain spawns is important / how how team comps in a match will clash

>want to watch highly skilled strategic FPS where the best minds battle over applying the best strategy
>watch multiple rounds where it literally came down to a guy getting like 2 lucky headshots in the first gun fight of the round giving his team a 5 v 3 autowin

Siege truly is the worst spectator sport unless you are a die hard Siege fan. Meanwhile CSGO and LoL can be watched by people who don't even really play the games much

Blame the fuckers who just pick cav and down everyone on the team

I mean, it's a "dead" head so a cheat wouldn't do that (probably?) but that was uncomfortable to watch even leading up to it so I can see why people would raise an eye brow

Holy shit, this.

Siege can't be a real esport until it decides what it wants to be. Either strategy trumps gunplay, or gunplay trumps strategy. You can't have it both ways and still have a game that's coherent enough for esports.

Yup. I've had it happen to me. It was hilarious. They were cool guys.

Nigger the game is still $60 and lets you pay $30 to get ops early. I think it is overly monetized before any of that bullshit.

how do people who play like this get passed gold? I mean you guys throw at least a third of your games.

>lul i so lazy lik eco :3
it specifically states in his operator bio that echo fluctuates between laziness and excessive work. so unless you also get obsessive periods of intense work, you're nothing alike. not to mention he's not 100% lazy either.
i am so sick of hearing this shit

Id rather it be fun to play than be an esport. I already queue with enough retards.

this game is designed and is set up like a F2P game but it still sells at a full price tag

>passed

gas urself

It was kind of funny how the PUBG invitational absolutely BTFO out of the Siege pro stream. Even though the PUBG tournament was an absolute shitshow from a casting perspective, it was still far more accessible and entertaining to outside audiences.

Someone who has never played PUBG before can "pick up" what is happening in a few minutes.

>stay out of the blue circle that shrinks periodically
>kill everyone

There is quite literally nothing else to it for an average spectator.

PUBG was like Soccer - ball in the net and you can only use your feet. Meanwhile Siege is like the NFL (except not popular lol). If you don't intimately know every rule, every strategy and how the teams lineup is you have no idea what is going on.

>waaah this guy is playing an operator that's not good
>better TK him so he's playing no operator at all

Cav is shit, but team killing is probably why you're a low-mid rank shitter

That is correct though you retard. Past refers to time or distance.

>some dude being a cunt to team
>i drop him
>next round he shotguns me in the back while cooking a grenade
>the grenade kills him
>2 hour ban
i get that we need tk restrictions, but the current system is fucking retarded.

I'm dumb or they still haven't released the new blitz set?

but people colloquially refer to ranks as a distance traveled. like a rating getting past a certain point or past a certain ranking

Are challenges broken right now? None of them are updating for me.

same

Ubi's never going to implement a reporting option for people being dicks. The "Let's fight toxicity by ignoring it" strategy isn't going too well, but good luck convincing them otherwise
