Rainbow Six Siege

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Got on X1 and played with some randoms in casual. They all died and I was last left. Killed a few guys and then a guy was disarming the bomb, I couldn't get to him in time and all 3 of these clowns fired over hate messages at me and then team killed me immediatley after. It would be one thing if they were good, but after the TK, they all died in less than a minute. Complete idiots. They did not get kicked out either.

I then played terrorist hunt and some clown revived me and then TK'd me right after and just trolled the whole game. Is this the experience because this is lame. I do have people to play with but they are not always on and I need to play a lot for a bit to get my chops up.

What is the best way to report Team killers? That is truly annoying AF! It seems like there is no repercussion for it.

Ha yeah casual can be a little toxic at times, there's not much to do in terms of reporting on that. I think it's three team kills before auto-kick in casual? In ranked it's two. I would try not to let it bother you, but I've found it's not the normal outcome, no.

It does happen from time to time, but just try to take it in stride if you can. Some people just get really into trolling due to the nature of the game I think.

I definitely didn't feel this way in the past but the more I've thought about it recently, the more I'd like to see friendly fire disabled in Casual. I understand it fundamentally changes the game but there needs to be a place for people to go that are either just learning the game or are looking for a more laid back experience than Ranked.

It would make Casual exactly what it's supposed to be.

I really like this idea. This would crack down on the team killing and may make Casual a better experience. There still would be the occasional dbags that come into ranked but I've been team killed in ranked far less than Casual.

It would be so much better man. I would not play ranked without a team. So I think that casual is probably where a lot of lone wolf players play and I just don't understand the point of trolling. Of course, I am not 13 anymore..lol. I will say I was TK'd by accident later that night in a terrorist hunt and the guy apologized. I ran a little ahead and he threw some grenades in a room he thought was empty. That was fine with me.

They need to make it somewhat appealing for solo players just so we can get up to speed on the game. For me, it is easier to learn the game and maps before playing with a group. That way I am not the crappy guy holding everyone back because I don't know the maps and have all the concepts down yet.

I should add that I really love this game. It creates such a sense of actual reality and puts you on edge. I have not felt like this since the old R6 on original Xbox. I played that game so much, it is one of my favorite games of all time.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Both great posts, guys. Taking the solo queue idea step further, I'd like to see Ubisoft borrow from the COD series and have Ranked lobbies dedicated solely to individual players, no squads. There's many times I want to play Ranked when I hop on to solo queue but being a high Gold/low Plat rank, that's a death sentence. I'm almost always going to go up against great squads.

I end up playing Casual where I get bored real quick...Or not at all.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Yeah, I played more matches tonight. Had a nice 2 game run with some good players and then I got new guys. Some random guy messages me on my team, and tells me to kill a teammate because he sucks. Well it turned out that he TK'd the guy so we lost the round and then he did it again in the next round. Somebody else shot at the guy too so after that round the two guys remaining TKd each other and I'm sitting there by myself.

Terrible. Makes this game worthless without a full group of friends.

I find for Ranked, I don't need a full squad. Just one other buddy to play with. Similar to how one solid five man squad in Battlefield can turn a match, a duo that's droning ahead and sticking together on offence can win a surprising number of rounds. The obvious Thermite and Thatcher combo works well.

But in the last month or so, me and a buddy have been running Ash and Hibana. It's been lights out. He has a 1.5 KD with Hibana, I'm 1.6 with Ash and we run through teams when attacking. We can breach almost anywhere we like and when in a gun fight we're almost impossible to hit because we've gotten pretty good at strafing.

Ok, I will power through until I hit 20 and can play ranked. I have not tried either operator so thanks for that as well.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I started playing this late January on PC and it's definitely gonna be my go-to shooter for a while (as long as Ubisoft continues to try to support it). I started out completely trash, probably dragging my friends down since they've been playing for a while, but I think I've gotten much better since then. I can't imagine playing this solo so I'm pretty fortunate to get a group of 4-5 each night.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I've hit a skid solo queuing where I've gone from Platinum to Gold 3. I have lost all, but 6 or 7 games the last 3 days. Each win I have had to get 12+ kills and carry hardcore. In 3 or 4 of those wins I had MULTIPLE teammates with no kills at the end of the entire game. And in the 20+ matches I've literally had maybe 5 or 6 teammates finish with a positive KD. This is awful.

My biggest issue solo queueing is similar, but also the fact that guys have no mics and they drop all over the place. I think the penalty for purposely dropping should be way more severe.

On PC pretty much everyone has a mic and you hardly see anyone drop these days unless it's 3-0 and they're doing terrible. I was able to stay around Plat 2 last season solo'ing, but this season I feel like I'll be lucky to not drop past Gold II at the moment. I ended the night with 2 wins in 3 games, but I went 18-4 in the two wins and then I went an average 7-5 in the loss. I can see a day or two of bad luck and needing to carry to win here and there, but it's going on 4 days straight now that I have had the same experience. At least I am irritated with teammates and not the actual gameplay. And at least this game is easier to carry in than say Counter Strike since it's 4-5 rounds won required vs 16.


It continues tonight. I just went 12-6, we lost 4-5. Two guys on my team were 1-9 and 2-9. That's better than 0 kills at least.

Rainbow Six Siege

Polish map has been cancelled for year 2 but operators will still be coming but split up. http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/...ls-polish-map/

After playing this game almost 1000hrs across both consoles, this news might be the nail in the coffin for me playing this game for a bit. I'm down to once or twice a week from almost every day as it is. In a way, it's what we've been asking for "forget the DLC, just fix the game"....What I don't like is the way the message was delivered and the timing of it. This is kinda on the shady side and though I know they're just delaying what we're expecting to get with the season pass, part of committing to a season pass is the excitement you expect from every DLC drop and it's not just the Operators.

I dunno, just doesn't smell right

Dropping this a week before people were expecting to get the new operators is pretty terrible. I mean, I get what they're going for here, but they simply waited too long to announce this.
