It basically boils down if you just want to dick around with guns or if you'd prefer mindfully playing instead.

You can play mindfully without dealing with people taking it too seriously or an hour long queue followed by an hour long match.

Yes, but, in my experience, it is easier to meet other people who want to play mindfully when you play ranked. Since release I haven't spent more than 5 minutes in queueing for a ranked game, nor have I had matches longer than 25 or so minutes. Casual, on the other hand, very rarely delivers a satisfactory game since half of your and enemy teams are literally seeing game for the first time, while rest of the players refuse to communicate and leave the match once they die.

My experience with ranked is getting called racial slurs by 14 year olds because I didn't follow their sick strats.

Then again my k/d is like .5 so maybe they're right.

I'm too old for that poo poo. I'll stick to casual. Most people I've encountered don't even use a mic anyway. Or only use it for said slurs.

I told you in the old thread. When the game works/you have a good team it's one of the better multiplayer shooters in a while. Ubisoft just has to fix a lot of things, some major and some small, to make it a really solid game.

Ranked is full of insanely angry people. This is the only pvp game I play so I dunno how it compares to other games. I'm enjoying the game and it's weird to me how some people do something that makes them angry. Gamers!

Safety tip: It seems like this game does NOT like you Alt+F4'ing out to quit. It got hella unstable and it looks like a few of my files failed validation.

so far what I'll say about ranked is that its good your rank can go up even if you lose. Watching my idiot teammate who is the last one standing that has been hiding in a closet the entire round run away from the objective while the capture timer ticks down and we lose is frustrating.

So some bullshit happened last night. Every round in setup some guy on the opposite team would call out everyone we picked in all chat. Like, every round. Turns out if you alt/enter out and back in on the setup screen you can see everything the opposite team picked. It's super frustrating and hopefully it gets fixed soon. Will be even more bullshit in ranked when people actually care about counter-picking and not just " pick the dudes that look cool"

I'm pretty sure "pick the dudes that look cool" is basically going to always be my logic for picking operators. It's why I keep taking IQ even though someone like Thermite is just objectively more useful. She has pink shoes! :kimchi:

Actually I really wish you could customize the loadout for the basic recruit. They have more flexibility in weapon/equipment choice than any of the named operators, but you only get unmodded weapons. I get that they want you to use the named classes but still.

yeah i feel as though this game kind of had low expectations for a lot of people and will sustain on peoples' word of mouth being mostly positive. I feel like as some free DLC comes out you're gonna see a couple articles going "R6 is actually really good now".I didnt even know it was out until I sat down to look for a new game to play.

I've had quite a few people try to use the hostage as a shield if they were the last one standing before which always ends hilariously for somebody.

pro tip: this poo poo does not work in ranked because the hostage does the terrorist hunt 'downed for revive' thing instead of instalosing you the match. You then get about a 30 second clock to revive the hostage before the match is over. Very fun when the CTs fuze the hostage and suddenly start breaching everywhere because they gotta go fast

It also works this way in casual, it's just fairly rare that someone doesn't unload into the hostages head.

I've done it, works pretty good. Even if an attacker doesn't kill the hostage outright it forces a riskier shot, making him possibly slow down. I know I get back and don't push when I see a terrorist with his rifle laying on the hostage's shoulder aiming at me.

I've noticed it be more of a common occurrence when somebody actually manages to grab the hostage and tries to get out since depending on the angle you can get hit the hostage through the enemy and knock him out instead of killing him instantly.

But considering how rare it is to see a win by hostage extraction it doesn't come up to often.

BadLlama

As the defending team I didn't know that when the attackers grab the hostage if you shoot the hostage you still lose. I just jump out of a window and nail the attacker with a shotgun but also murdered the hostage.

Read above.

This game will let you relive all of your Die Hard Fantasies while being a bastard child of SWAT, CS, and Rainbow Six. Every match you will see something you consider absolutely insane, or something so absurdly stupid that you consider impossible or bullshit. Its tense as gently caress edge of your seat rear end clenching goon on goon violence. WHY DID YOU DESTROY MY NITRO CELL, TK'S A GOON, OMFG A GOON KILLED ME.

This is Rainbow Six Siege. The entire time? This song is playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTyw6cq86kY
