[QUOTE=Banned?;49672008]It really depends on the team. Rook armor does nothing for 1 armor operators. If I'm playing Bandit or Jager I don't even pick it up because I want to place my stuff and get out of the starting area. If there are at least two 3 armor characters, including Rook, it's totally worth it though because the survivability of those 3 armor characters goes up so much with Rook armor. 2 armor characters get an OK benefit but nothing like 3 armor.[/QUOTE]
I still don't think it's necessary for literally every situation. Having an extra operator that can actually do something to help survivability moreso than armor is far more worth it imo. Sometimes, instead of Rook, I'd prefer someone like Castle if we don't have one, or Jager or Mute. Gambling on the fact that they don't have a Thatcher (IMO his emp needs a slight distance nerf) you can do a whole lot more with that extra person. Shock battery+castle doors+jager thing+mute jammers+kapkan/smoke puts up one hell of a defense. Minus any one of those with Rook and you make youself a whole lot more exposed than you think.
Rook gives you a good edge, and I don't mind one every once in awhile. But I'd take another utility OP over him any day.
Rook is also a great roamer because of his durability. If he is just sitting in the objective room after dropping armor, he's doing it wrong.
Another thing, the only 3 armor OPS on attack are Montange, Blitz, and Fuze. Two of the three have a shield. fuze is optional. That already puts the attacks at a certain disadvantage with the C4 and moveability.

That just depends on the player. I play a shitton of Blitz so I know when people want to use C4 and what is sounds like when people deploy it and how to bait it. C4 ain't that scary to me.
The MP5 holo needs an update. Can't hit jack shit with that thing. Iron sights are bae though. Used to run a lot of Doc and Kapkan but the more I play the more I love Rook.

he is very loud though
[QUOTE=lexus04;49672337]he is very loud though[/QUOTE]
Doesn't really matter. Slow walking/crouch walking is enough to keep you quiet. As Rook you should be close roaming because of his low speed. Far roaming should be for Bandit or Jager who don't need to stick around the objective long to set up, or Frost who needs to set up possibly far away from the objective.
fucking bandit and jager are some smug ass bitches though. nearly all of my deaths are from either of two cheeky mother fuckers.
Jager, Bandit, and Frost are my top 3 defender picks. They're also everyone elses, at least with the people I play regularly. I should learn Pulse.

I play exclusively Castle. If not that, its Rook. And if I get to a third choice KapKan.
Also Ubi addressed the glitches already-

Users have found a way to vault through the wall on Yacht in a specific location. We have reproduced the issue and are working towards correcting it.

Man, I did not expect this level of support and acknowledgement from Ubi. It's like the prime reason why I stopped buying their games. I'm actually impressed.

Agreed. Ubisoft is doing an absolutely fantastic job on R6S and I think once we see a good portion of the glitches and faults in the game go away we'll see a huge competitive gaming market form around the game.
Ubisoft sometimes fuck up, but they do occasionally do fantastic games. I loved Anno 2070, and think that it got decent support, though the DLC for it wasn't that great (though free alternatives for some things in global events was cool) and Siege has an absolutely perfect model for cosmetic skins / new ops early, but everyone can buy the ops a little later.
So I got this game free with my graphics card and I'm having a blast with Terrorist Hunt right now, anyone have essential tips that I should know? I've played all of the Situations so I have a decent grasp on what to do, but I assume Ranked is a whole different story since it's Operator v Operator

Get a decent ranged weapon. A submachine gun or assault rifle will do fine. Check drones and cameras as much as possible. Knowledge of your opponent is the most important thing you can have. Also stay crouched often and move slow. Stealth is huge. Personally I'd take a silencer as well if I were you.

I'm rank 43 and I have never played a Ranked match. Casual is Operator VS Operator too. That's kind of the meat of the game.
welp, cant play as montagne with that black shit on my shield

Ohh, I thought it was only Ranked, thanks for clearing that up.
And a question, how does going down in this game work, at least in Terrorist Hunt? If you're taken out with a headshot I assume you're killed and if it's a body shot then a teammate can revive you 1-2 times afterward?

Don't buy laser sights for anyone except Blitz and Monatgue. They ONLY affect hip fire and you won't be hip firing 99.95% of the time with anyone except those two characters. They can also be seen from around corners and will get you killed.
Don't buy silencers on any primary weapons. I'm sure people are going to disagree with me here, but don't. The damage reduction is not worth it. Buy Flash Hiders though, as they near eliminate any horizontal recoil and you can shoot through smoke without getting spotted. That also makes Compensators pointless.
Buy silencers on attacker pistols. Silencers on attacker pistols are nice because you can quietly get rid of cameras and gadgets.
The best scopes in the game are the Holographic sight and the Reflex sight for Russians. Regular Reflex sight blows, Red Dot sight dot is too big. ACOG's are also great on certain operators, even defenders, and the secondary SMG's on the SAS operators. You can probably skimp on sights for shotguns too.
The best shotguns in the game are the semi-auto ones used by the FBI and Frost. The rest are not really worth using over the other available weapons. [I]Maybe[/I] the French one on defense.
I don't know if you've bought operators yet but Rook, Smoke, and Mute are good stater defender operators. Sledge, Thatcher, and Thermite are good starter attackers. You can honestly buy Ash, Doc, IQ, and Tachanka last in their respective units, but all the SAS guys are awesome.
Don't worry about playing ranked as soon as you hit level 20. Play casual, get to know the game, unlock all the operators, get your attachments.
Headshots, headshots, headshots. Any headshot with any weapon is an instant kill, no matter the distance too. Learn how to get headshots.

You're welcome ubi :)

also went down to damn gold I because one guy on the other team carried so hard...grumpy day.
Black Ice is a piece of shit and it broke the fucking game. I'm done. Ubisoft needs to get their asses moving because the game is absolutely unplayable in this state. The hit detection is beyond ridiculous right now and the shadow glitch is the most jacked up shit I've ever experienced in online gaming.
Seriously the only thing that bothered me so far is Montagne's glitched shield and even then, almost everything is fine to me. The headshots are pretty instantaneous most of the time.
[editline]4th February 2016[/editline]
I guess I'm just one of the people who doesn't experience much nuisance.
The headshot thing happens to me way too much. Honestly, if they fix all the recent issues and the some this game will be fucking golden and I don't doubt they're going to fix them.
[editline]4th February 2016[/editline]
Plus buff Kapkan, IQ, and Tachonky Kong.

Agreed. They've been quick to act and hopefully they continue that. As of right now it's just too much to play the game seriously though.
I can't play ranked seriously when I'm getting killed by a shadow demon from the ninth dimension and a guy who can eat 8 shots to the dome and keep coming.
They're doing a good job so far, people are just extremely impatient it seems. Just check Reddit. BF4 took a while before getting to where it is now.

My impatience is mainly due to the fact the games playability has gone backwards to where it's actually worse than the initial release. Black Ice has some serious bugs and it's tough to take the game seriously on a competitive level with those bugs.

Tachanka is pretty good tbh. His gun needs less room though.
If you happen to end up in a good spot, the gun practically one hits anything and is very accurate, making going for headshots very easy.
IQ Def needs a buff
Bandit needs a nerf IMO. At least his SMG does.
Thatcher needs a serious nerf. The range of his EMP is ridiculous and can render pretty much all gadgets useless with a single good one behind a wall. Needs a range reduction or something.
Lol thatcher's grenades are so fucking OP.
I threw them on the roof on Hereford and they destroyed every electronic device in the room below.
