Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I'm chalking it up to the influx of players because we hadn't had too many issues in some time.

Hopefully that's all it is.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Played almost all day yesterday. Couldn't help but notice the difference between when Dust Line dropped and yesterday. People were racing to use Blackbeard and Valkyrie in our group when we played Ranked.

Yesterday? It got to the 5-10 second mark on the character select screen and somebody would say "so does nobody wanna use the new op?" And then select them almost cuz they felt they should lol.

Other than that, mostly cool changes. The map is a shotgunner's paradise, not my thing, but at least it looks good.

Yeah I don't mind the map but it's such tight quarters you're almost at a disadvantage if you don't have a shotgun. I do like the overall changes & the new operators.

You going to be on this evening? Probably going to be playing all weekend.

First impression of the new operators is 'Meh'. I do like Capitao. I really enjoy the feel of the Para-308 when you load it out. Manageable recoil and the grouping is tight, which leads to some accurate mid-long range shots.

His gadget I think is under powered. The flame really is pretty useless. In the 3-4 hours that I played, I myself shot it numerous times and did no damage and saw opposing players do the same. It is entirely too small and doesn't actually force the enemy to change position. For instance if you shoot that flame in a small room, it should take up the entire room forcing that player to move or at least dealing significant damage. I do think that they will patch this at some point.

Caveira is lame to me. I am a fan of the M12. Has some solid stopping power and decent range. Her skill really offers no immediate value which makes her pretty much useless from a defensive standpoint. Especially if you are playing against really good teams. Not only does her skill not assist in protecting the objective, or your team, but it forces the player to roam away from the objective to get really any value which is a risk in itself. It would make more sense if the skill prevented enemies from seeing you highlighted red when enabled. Just my 2 cents.

Some other frustrations I currently have:

Shotguns are so damn OP in this game. I'm so tired of getting spam hip fired from halfway across a floor of a building, or from an entirely different room all together and being killed. It is outrageous.

Secondly, there shouldn't be any such thing as hip fire head shots. Had this happen to me 3 times on defense last night. Specifically on Plane. I'm laying down at the end of the main hall where the official entrance is. A guy with Ash rolls in, hip firing while strafing to cover and one shots me.

Great post except for the hipfire headshots thing. I agree, with certain guns, in certain games hipfire can be exploited, but IRL if you hipfired me by chance in the head with a carbine, id be dead, plain and simple. It still needs to happen, because if I caught a player in the head with a powerful weapon from the hip and they didnt die, id be pretty dismayed.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

I won't be on tonight but should be good to go Saturday night and Sunday throughout the day.

Great post, JODYE. I agree with a lot of it, as do alot of the YouTubers I watch. As for the hip fire headshots, I tend to agree with half-fast that lucky hip fire headshots have to be able to happen in a game like this. You're hoping over time, the percentages play out in your favour buy there has to be room for some random occurrences.

But if we're talking about realism, if you were to "aim down sights" the way it's depicted in this game and most shooters with an automatic weapon, you'd end up with a broken nose/eye socket/jaw/all of the above. Don't even get me started on the ridiculousness that is ADSing with a shotgun.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

It was good to finally catch up to Sroz and Jodye last night. That was a sweet comeback we had in that first game. **** fell apart in the second one, but good stuff regardless haha. Always nice to roll with guys who communicate.

It was good times, Pap. You and your buddy are welcome to join us anytime. That comeback was nuts. Like we collectively decided "nah it ain't going down like this" and took it to 'em.

I've never seen anyone get more kills with that Kapkan trap! Lol.

Haha, man I catch people with that Kapkan all the time now. It was a useless class for so long, but it's definitely fun to use now.

Re: Rainbow Six Siege

Pappy got the Kapkan trap on lock lol

Played a bit late last night and a good run with 3 randoms that I partied up with. Think we won 4-5 games in a row. Best round was a 9-3 drubbing in ranked. Forgot how much I like Fuze.

You definitely win the Most Improved Player award from the last time we played lol. You played well last night, my friend. Your knowledge of the maps and whatnot is miles ahead of where it was.

Won't be on the next couple of nights but will be on during the day if anyone wants to squad up.
