By the way, I haven't tried recording anything in years but this game makes me want to, especially as I now have a big empty 2TB drive to record to.

I have a Radeon HD 6850, what software should I be using? I used to use Fraps back in like 2007 but it was always kinda lovely, so I figure there must be something better now.

I use Shadowplay, but since you're on a gross AMD.. you can use Fraps, which actually runs swell if you have it record to a separate hard drive than the one your game is running on, unless you have SSD. Trying to play a game from a platter drive AND record Fraps to it simultaneously? Tanked fps, every time, in my experience. There's also: http://loilo.tv/us/product/game_recorder

Loilo isn't too bad; I say try out both and see which you like better.

I've also used OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) for Twitch streaming as well as dumping directly to a spare 2tb drive. Can specify the dump quality as well as it's a free download.

It will be pretty great if ubisoft fired the intern looking after r6 community and hired an actual community manager. Does anyone have an idea what that community challenge is supposed to be?

"leave no man behind and get points"

Uh ok. Then what? Are we getting something? Is there a way to see our points?

^^ I don't know if you saw it, but are you able to get global stats such as melee kills? I must know.

Reading it seemed pretty clear to me, even if it was vague. Lose no one in your squad, get points. Unless I'm wrong.

I like points. I need more knife points.

Something racist, probably.
Speaking of UI elements, the reinforce charges should be a bit more central imo, I sometimes forget to even put them up :v:

Or a warning at like 20 seconds popping up in the middle of your screen if you haven't used them, saying "You have reinforce charges, dipshit"

I like the first one's armor/reinforcement counters, but the gametype info is unnecessary. The objective marker says either "grab", "secure" or "defuse" based on the gametype.

Second image gametype info is definitely desirable though so you can know whether to pick fuze or not before the round starts if you forgot by the time you get into the game.

I have no problem remembering which operator maps to which icon so I'd rather not have more textual noise on the score screen, personally. But it might be a nice optional thing.

lurkers should buy the game, it's one of the best shooters we've had in a long time. it's like a mix of cs 1.6 and bfbc2 and it's got a casual mode for loving around and a try hard ranked mode too.

You can still compare dicks with all of your uplay friends https://game-rainbow6.ubi.com/en-us/leaderboards/pvp/friends/featured/matchwon-casual but knife kills aren't shown :(
On a side note i knew i was bad but this leaderboard is just rubbing it in my face.

Hey Raz ! Saw the post on Reddit so chances are the UI devs saw it too. Theres some good ideas in there as far as i'm concerned. Personally i like keeping the HUD as light as possible but theres always room for improvement and the OP names in the scoreboard couldn't hurt. As for the map/mode it will be shown in every loading screen don't worry.
For the ingame indicator i tend to agree with whoknew since "grab", "secure" or "defuse" is on your HUD but i won't act as a filter. I said i would forward the feedback and i'll do it.
