Can't watch the video now but my favorite spot in Chalet is when you are defending that library on the second floor. One of the windows in the back of the room, if you poke a hole in the left side of the barricade you get a clear view of the ladder. They can't shoot while climbing the ladder so you're guaranteed 1-2 easy kills and it locks down every window up there since I don't believe there is another way onto that ledge.

Last night during operator selection we had one dude telling other people who they should pick. While most of these things were kind of basic level stuff ("someone should pick Rook") he kept insisting that we didn't need certain repetitions of color types. Like, for example, on defense, we apparently didn't need two purples according to him. This was the first time I'd heard someone try to decide a team based on color rather than coordinating a good team based on composition. Is this indeed a thing?

Maybe he is playing the OCD version of the game in which case that is mandatory. You also have to barricade, unbarricade, rebarricade every door and window near the objective. Reload after every round fired or only when the magazine is completely empty. Every section of a wall must be reinforced, if one section is left normal and the others are reinforced then you must scream at your teammates until they fix it.

It's nonsense.

It's most likely the case that they just opted to throw some colour into the icons for the sake of players more easily differentiating between them, and grouping operators via their CTU seemed like the best/most reasonable way of doing things(I can't think of a better way, at least).


Not needing/wanting two of the same colour type is pretty dumb as well, since doc and rook each work better with the other on the team.

And you don't even things like abilities that more directly play off eachother in order to have a good team composition.

Jager and Bandit are a very good defensive combination, Jager can cover Fuze and Ash specials, while Bandit can either cut down Thermite's entry options or make things real lovely for their drones.

A good team lineup is based on what each operator can actually contribute in any given situation, the only exception is Thermite who is good all the time.

Been doing some Ash + IQ combos. Ash smokes a door/castle wall, breaches it then tosses smokes in and IQ follows up with Ipad ninja tactics. Pretty funny when people die to it and then respond that they had no idea IQ could do that.

draw me like one of your French Canadian girls
I was having one of my best games ever on airplane, going 7-1 on airplane in the 2nd round. I lost the ace on the last guy in the first round as a recruit (I was afk), and I had 3 window kills as Glaz in the 2nd as my team all died and I was pushing for an ac again. By 1:45 my team was trying to vote kick me for taking too long vs two roamers running around on the window level and no help on cameras.

there's some dumb people in this game at times.

I still have some hilariously stupid mistakes but I've definitely starting to regularly pump out good games now. I'm just under 1.0 k/d for ranked now (it was real bad for a while heh). Most of me getting better has just been map and gameplay knowledge vs being a twitch shooter. I play Smoke and Ash the most by far, followed by Thermite, Mute, and Fuze. Time share on everyone else is pretty low. I used to play Kapkan at first but he's basically a shittier version of Smoke.

Don't believe so, 99% sure you have to win the division beta lottery, pre-order, or have a beta code, preloading started though so check uplay if you have it you have it.

Ey Hard, any chance of looking into the mic volume bug?

Windows mic volume gets set to whatever the mic record setting is at ingame.

It seems to happen when the game is initializing party voip stuff, like when you first get put in a party after getting online, or if you quit out of a game and get thrown back into a fresh single-person party.

Steam voice chat has the exact same behavior. It calls for the same Windows function in both instances so it's not really a bug per saaaaaay.

It's a pain if you don't have a manual mixer on your headset i'll give you that.

siege probably would have been really good if it came out before every game started being loaded with nickel and dime bullshit.

as it is now it's just another game that played decently in the pre-release then got shat all over by execs and marketers before it made it into the public's hands, throw it on the garbage pile with the rest of the micro transaction crap.

yeah yeah if you dont like it dont purchase the boosters/characters you can grind for free blah blah and all that usual stockholm syndrome crap, how about this game is gonna be dead in a few months instead of potentially lasting years? you need a playerbase and most people don't want to deal with this poo poo, this is basically evolve 2, some good dev work completely squandered by greedy assholes. I would be infuriated if I spent years working on something and it actually turned out pretty decent then a retarded suit bolted some quick cash grab poo poo onto it right at the end and ensured it was dead in the water before it even officially released.

I played this game and in a reasonable amount of time unlocked every operator and the good attachments for all their guns. Now i'm spending renown on weed skins for the SMG-11.

For contrast, I was playing Star Wars Battlefront and I put in a lot of time into it and still didn't have enough credits to unlock all the starcards/their upgrades/weapons and certainly not enough for any of the awesomer skins like scout trooper

This is some obvious troll poo poo. I unlocked everything in the game for free within 4 days of playing, and I have accumulated enough renown to unlock the 2 new operators on day 1 in the time since then. There are literally only 2 skins per gun that require real money to buy, with a vast majority available without payment. Do you even play?

Death before dishonor?
Your terms are accepted.


I only get to play for like an hour every couple of days due to work and I've still got all the operators unlocked that I care about. I think there's three I don't own because I just haven't felt like spending the Renown to unlock them.

If you do your challenges (and remove the ones you don't think you can do, rather than just leaving them sit there), and do your situation bonuses, it throws a ton of renown at you on top of the regular rate. Plus I haven't even used the booster you get for free yet because I didn't want to waste it.

That being said, 22K per operator unlock for this upcoming content pack seems a bit steep. Maybe to the order of 2x what it should be...
