I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
Ohh, I see. I never tried the terrorist hunt matchmaking, I always just play it with people in my squad.

On the other hand, I finally tried out Article 5 the other day and drat there are a lot of people playing it still for some reason? :confuoot: I was trying the "queue simultaneously with your friends to get into the same game" thing with it while thinking we'd probably have to wait like half an hour for another couple of people to show up, but instead... all three of us instantly matched into different, full, games.

Hey Hard, can we please get a green plus sign on the operator icon of players who've picked up Rook plates? Would make a lot easier to chase down pubbies who forgot to pick them up. :)

e; something like this:



Or just colour the HP bar green, even.

Article 5 matchmakes with normal difficulty, fyi, and lobbies of people trying to normal t-hunt matches will join Article 5 situations.

I've been kicked from three games in a row because "my internet connection is too slow" but speedtest.net says I'm getting 71 Mbps down.

Also hitboxes seem hosed now even when my ping is good. I keep getting the drop on people and losing every encounter.

I will die laughing if they change it to only one spawn on that map. Just loving redesign it entirely if the exterior is so badly thought out the spawn points are literally unsalvageable.

Did they buff Pulse's range further? I swear you have an extra couple meters in detection range.

Why did they buff pulse anyway? I thought he was already pretty good, but now his scanner is practically effortless to use.

Ubisoft is too lazy to add actual anti-cheat so they just extended wallhacking capability to all players

I used to like Pulse because he straddled the line of being a fun operator that fit the R6 universe and an overpowered wallhacking operator. Now he's 100% the latter.

Pulse's new scanner seems to be both a harder check on Blackbeard's bullshit as well as more of a reason to take IQ. As it stands now the 3 operators that really need buffs are Fuze/Tachanka/Castle. Castle is outright detrimental 90% of the time, Tachanka's gun is still pretty much useless and Fuze, while having one of the best AR's in the game, has a terrible LMG as well as being fat/loud/gadget isn't overly useful.

Seriously though, the Fuze LMG is near useless because the recoil is horrendous and you can't use a compensator on it. The only time it'd be remotely useful is if they applied the "can shoot through" property of Glaz's rifle on Castle barricades to it.

Pulse is not any better now than before. It's just easier to use the scanner.

I don't see why this would upset you unless think his utility should be gated off to those who play this game too much. That or he was too strong to begin with.

You mean, should require skill, map awareness, and experience with the game to use effectively? Yeah, that's a stupid concern, he should be trivially easy for even the most stupid newbie, like all the other operators!

mmm i dont know if he was too strong to begin with but by making it easier to use the scanner they've made camera destruction pretty much irrelevant

Nothing like acing a hacker team so hard that the round after they immediately turn on their hacks.

edit: also tested the Pulse scanner and the detection range is larger. You can read up to 13 meters away but at 13 it's almost indistinguishable, 12 meters is very clear though. 10m was how it was under the old system.

Part of me wants to just post it everywhere now.

But I also think he actually wants the attention.

I'm wondering if the reason he's even commenting is because Ubisoft did something with the cheater report I sent in with this clip.
