Nah

It's okay to be absolute shit at real shooters. I don't blame you for sticking with the Division and Destiny.

It is one of the best and most intense online FPS on these consoles. There's nothing like it.

Post by: benjipwns on April 17, 2016, 03:49:50 PM: Played a decent amount of the final game during this free weekend.

I...it's...

I spent half my time re-unlocking characters to use. I still dislike how only one per team is allowed. Two would be nice. Especially when I've only got one fucking character.

The character thing is still kinda...swapping it to a CoD Pick [X] system wouldn't wreck things. I don't want any of this characters guns dammit.

The map with the smoke...ban it.

Also, wtf at no control over the map/mode rotation. I accepted that in the alpha and betas. It doesn't even do a good job of mixing up the modes.

The House is still the pinnacle map and the only one that feels like it knows what it's doing. The airplane would be amazing but too much of it can't be blown apart. Same with the ship. Let me blow out the sides and seats and garbage. The second fancy house is kinda nice layout wise but like other maps is too open with even less to wreck.

Some of the art in the beta version was better, more basic. Lots of out of place textures that clash with the design of the buildings. Also, lol, you can't fool me Ubi, half of those maps are just reskins with different furniture, the layouts aren't much different, if at all.

I actually kinda like the scenarios, though it'd be nice if they were a bit more variable. Though there's a perverse pleasure in doing the plane one a second time and being some kind of action movie star who knows where everyone is and takes them out through walls and shit. Or rolling in smoke nades and as the three guys run out into the hallway you blow the wall.

Still feels like a rough draft though. I think the tagging actually worked better in the earlier versions where the tags remained until another player effectively confirmed the guy was dead/gone. Since the last beta they fade after a period automatically.

Also the team waypoint only lasts for two seconds, nobody sees it lol. Only later did I realize you had to mark bombs with your drone. Or maybe it was just me.

Game runs about the same as it did during some of the betas, mostly dependent on connections. It's yet another game that doesn't know what to do with my old E8400 (though i intended to upgrade to an i7/i5 last month, i've put it off...really should do that before free Windows 10 runs out) and sets everything to low. When my 560 (lol) doesn't even max itself out on the fancy shaders and AA and stuff except on the 1GB memory. So don't be afraid to bump some of the stuff up a bit above what it claims. I couldn't tell a difference performance wise between the 1GB and 2GB texture setting either. The benchmark doesn't report very consistent results on the same settings, a lot like Arkham City/Knight never has.

Wouldn't mind if Valve shamelessly ripped this off for CS2 to show off some Source 2 destruction. Like in CS:S/DoD:S where they put random junk everywhere just so explosions and PHYSICS would send them flying.

Also, teammates, when we're escaping with the hostage, and I'm blowing a path through walls, please don't run off to use the stairs and hallways to get out. Come through the now gaping holes I put through the walls to the outside instead.

The girl who can fire the thing that blows the walls is great for that. Especially since people think you're shooting at them.

9.5/10 - Good

If they add anymore smoke maps: 9.25/10 - Average.

:confused

You can have both attacker/defense folks from each "team" on your teams "squad." Unless you mean only one person can pick that person. Which is a design choice to prevent too many Rooks/Shields or Sledgehammers.

Because you aren't running "Ultra." Ultra textures are a separate thing, similar to Battlefield 3 on X-box 360. Yes, you have to "buy" the Ultra textures off Uplay on PC (though they're free IIRC) and then download/install that.

i don't like Montagne and Fuze is better to play with that sick AR :whew

Blitz is great though.

I dont find playing with shields that easy. The special key for abilities is hitting the scroll button on PC and that's awkward with some of the shield abilities. I guess i could change that but i dont like the shield chars that much. I think the easiest operators to learn the game are Mute and Rook. On assault i'd go with Sledge or Ash.

This is the best online shooter i've played in decades. If only it had a little more content. The sequel is gonna be a monster.

They are dropping more free content this week I believe and a lot more is scheduled.

Post by: Stoney Mason on May 20, 2016, 12:11:57 PM: Been playing this most nights until Overwatch comes out. It's enjoyable.

It's very focused on its goals of what kind of game it is, so I'm glad they didn't pollute it with a lot of modes and such.

I'm pretty terrible at it but its still fun. It's hard to adjust to the lack of auto-aim on consoles but at least its fair. I hate that operator who has the shield glass in front of his head. He's the only one that feels OP to me. I mean I know you should flank him but depending on the map layout that can potentially be difficult.

Yeah the support is great but as a long time Rainbow fan i'm sad they really have thrown single player in the bushes. There's nothing on the market like how Rainbow used to be, planning out your missions, AI squadmates, etc. The terrorist hunts are kind of badly balanced too because of those berserk bomb squad enemies.

Its all forgiven because the base multi is so fun, but I wouldnt mind more modes.

If more of the "singleplayer"/co-op missions were like that secret University Assault mission, Siege could've been a contender with co-op folks. But they really jettisoned that for stupid "assault this multiplayer map" design.
Title: Re: More of you should be playing Rainbow 6 siege.
Post by: Kara on May 21, 2016, 06:42:56 PM: I forget its name as a multiplayer map (Estate?), but the map from Operation Yellow Knife in the first game is still one of the most hilarious and anarchic times I've ever had in FPS multiplayer.

To figure out the name of that mission I was browsing through the all the missions in the first game... they really don't make stuff like that anymore.

m8, gtfo

Did I lie? All they did was repurpose the multiplayer maps for co-op. There's nothing compelling about that. It's not even good training since the AI is spawned in the same areas all the time to where all you have to do is learn where they spawn and blow through the mission in like 2-5 minutes max.

You could say the same for the University, but the smog/gas attack at least varied up your sightlines compared to the base maps. They needed more variety for the co-op instead of jamming the multiplayer maps in there with some dumb (unless on Realistic) AI and called it a day.

Idiot was the guy who walled himself into that tiny room with the hostage outside it and yet didn't booby trap anything and immediately got up and ran away. :lol

I thought for sure he was going to blow the floor when you walked over it and that's why he was hustlin' to the corner.

If you didn't like the beta I'm not sure the main game is gonna change that opinion. I mean the balance is way different than in the beta but the core fundamental loop of what you played in the beta is what the game is.

That being said, I think its a good game well worth checking out.

I love the work the devs keep putting in.
