[QUOTE=Bat-shit;49475957]Wow'boy, my brother about to pick this game up retail for a bit cheaper, which means I get to have some fun with it as well.
Now I gotta ask, how's the experience?
Also, do all police attackers get that radio-controlled little spying device in the beginning of the round, always? Seems weird to me.[/QUOTE]
The game is great but network issues can be annoying and as of late it's been harder to get into multiplayer matches (at least for me), all unique operators have a gimmick but the gimmicks themselves are usually useful but can also be countered (e.g. Thermite can blast through reinforced walls but if Bandit puts electric wire on reinforced walls the charges can be made almost useless, but that can also be countered by Thatchers EMP grenades which can destroy the electric wire but that can also be countered by Jaegers anti-grenade device and so on).
Also yeah, the attackers have drones they're almost essential to finding where the enemy and objective is, but the defense can disable and destroy them.
[QUOTE=archival;49475606]Nothing I can see to change that would fix it

It even has my mic playing sound when I use the test button in the overlay but ingame no one can hear me....[/QUOTE]
Play with the threshold in the in-game settings even if you're using push to talk.
[quote]General Tweaks and Improvements
Hit Registration Improvements
Updated the server tick rate for all PC users, coming soon to consoles
With the goal of improving positioning and shooting replication, we had deployed a first update on PC in which the player position update rate is set to 60 times per second (vs. the previous 30). This change however has been done in an intermittent fashion and in certain regions only, as we were testing various configurations. We are now satisfied with its state so we are now deploying this update to all PC users. As soon as this feature has been validated with this more massive test on PC, we will be deploying this update on consoles as soon as possible.
Data center selection is now possible (PC users only, for now)
PC users can change their default data centers in the Rainbow Six game settings file (gamesettings.ini), which is usually located in the ‘My Documents\My Games\your Uplay ID’ folder. Change the DataCenterHint value from ‘default’ to the region’s short name that you wish to have as your default data center. The available region short names can be found just above the DataCenterHint line.
Note that we are planning to eventually expose this in the in-game UI for all platforms and this PC-exclusive feature is only a first step.
Matchmaking Improvements
Refining the quality of PVP matches with more evenly matched opponents
Added a criteria that increases the odds of pre-made parties being matched against a squad with an equal number of pre-made parties within them.
Skill criterion originating from the player’s region is now more precise.
Improved connectivity to PVP and PVE matches
Increased match quality by ensuring players using the same data center get matched together, leading to better ping.
Improved accuracy of the estimated waiting time while in lobby.

[QUOTE=lexus04;49475422]playing as blitz, flashed a room, missed all my shots, couldn't reload because of the shield, flashed again, shield bashed the 3 people in the room, won the round
10/10 would blitz again[/QUOTE]
Every fucking time I've used blitz in PvP my flash never seems to blind anyone. Or I do and they spray me and get a lucky shot on my toe.
I like the patching speed that team got.
[QUOTE=Darkslicer;49476875]I like the patching speed that team got.[/QUOTE]
This. I am surprised how much this team seems to care about their title. First the news that the DLC will be free for everyone, and now they have been patching out issues that people are actually complaining about.
It's a really big shame that people are giving the game slack though because it has Ubisofts name on it. People forget that Ubisoft has different developers under their name, and not just the people who "optimize" Assassin's Creed titles.
[QUOTE=redBadger;49475056]Man IQ really needs a slight buff. Her electronic scanner is very niche[/QUOTE]
She's one of only two operators that gets a light machine gun. I'd say that's enough of a buff. And her Sig is pretty much the best assault rifle in my opinion.

He failed to pick it up retail because sold-out all over the place, surprisingly enough.
Getting a single precise snap headshot on a guy guarding the room's only open entrance who happens to be using the hostage as a shield is probably the best feeling ever.
[QUOTE=archival;49474714]So I found out why people never listen to me, my mic for some reason just doesnt work ingame.
Apparently this is a known issue that effects a heap of people.
10/10 ubisoft[/QUOTE]
Set threshold to 100% in R6 settings on push to talk. I had the same problem and that fixed it.
So how's the patch, guys?
Well they didn't fix the smoke bug, or the no renown. Mid Jan they estimate.
Netcode is better, less corner fuckery.
one of the best things about this game is the riveting conversations you can have with other players between matches

I just get a lot of terrible shit talkers/ racists in chat
I just flashbanged a guy, it landed five feet in front of him, he stared at it as it landed and didn't get flashed at all. Not even a little bit. I wish Shadowplay saved the video.
It also turns out that you don't need to be Fuze to pull a Fuze.

This was in ranked. RANKED.
I think I'm done with Siege for the day.

I didn't know that there was a Us South server aswell..? :S
just ran into someone hacking, he was outside the entire time as defender and wasnt highlighted at all. It said someone was spotted outside, but he had no markers the entire time.

good chance that it's just ubi's fault

Its a glitch... Someone explained to me how to do it, but its hard as fuck to do (without the notification)
well thats just great.

I should have planted the defuser, but there were infidels to bash!
jesus christ pubbies are the dumbest assholes ever. i sat in an empty bomb room for a full minute and waited for my defuser to get there. they were scared to go there when they could just go back outside to reach it instead of heading to the choke points. They literally all just run into the chokepoint and get mowed down. :goodjob:
I get stuck on "creating squad" after the latest patch.
just played a ranked match with 5 assholes glitching out of the map during prep phase
So, after 16 days of trying to figure out why I can't join Squads on Rainbow Six Siege, what all these error codes I keep getting are, and trying everything under the sun to fix it, the issue seems to have just... sort of... resolved itself.
I play on PS4, and after setting up a static IP, forwarding port after port, then unforwarding all of them again because it made it even worse, placing it in the DMZ, contacting Ubisoft support more times than I care to admit, posting on their forums, posting on Steam's forums, googling until my eyes hurt, restarting my router probably over two hundred times...
My NAT type changed from Open to Moderate and now everything works perfectly.
I don't care what fixed it or what caused it, I'm just glad it's finally working. And it better stay that way. I might kill myself if it doesn't. :v:
Had some older guy on my team earlier that was screaming at his girlfriend the whole time while playing.
he ended up yelling "fucks sake i'll fucking do it myself" and left the server

This is by far my favourite way to play the game currently.
So, how much of a piece of shit is Uplay?
I haven't had any problems with it so far, but I get my updates through steam so no idea how shit their download servers are.
