Had some good time pubing it up just now. In a game we won the first round and had 2 people leave on the other team. Those 3 remaining went 3-1 to win the game. They went down to 1vs5 in the last round and that person killed 4 and won on time.

My voice does not sound like that in my head. Holy poo poo.

Samll derail, having a eardrum pierced and being about 1/4 deaf after a failed operation i know a thing or two about hearing. :science:

Everything you hear are pressurized waves of sound travelling in the air. Those ''waves'' goes through your ear canals and hit your ear drums which create vibrations
translated to your brain by the auditory nerves.

However, when you talk, the ''sounds'' are basically vibrations created by your vocal cords passing through your neck & skull. In short it takes a different more boney path hence why it's perceived differently.


TLDR: Sorry you sound like that.

Hard, what sort of privacy guarantees do we have given the apparent level of intrusiveness of BattlEye and the potential for its misuse? (acknowledging the fact that they've been in business for 12 years and there doesn't yet appear to be some sort of breach).

Everything that BattlEye does is aimed at blocking and detecting hacks. That’s the only thing it is looking for.

However, this does not mean that BattlEye is looking through your personal files, personal details, or other such information. Furthermore, it doesn’t store any of your personal data on its servers. It is solely searching for cheats. Also, BattlEye is only running when Rainbow Six Siege is running.

Well that didnt last long. Chilling out on the roof of consulate because 2 of our teammates went afk and the third got kicked for teamkilling them as a joke, shoot pulse when he window peeks and decide to just chill out on the roof because the enemy team are pricks and gently caress letting them have fun. Im laying prone near one of the skylights when suddenly a C4 comes flying up and lands on me. Killcam was the guy staring directly at my position. Claims pulse pinged me. Pulse was already dead, other teammates were Jager, Recruit, and Rook with the fourth disconnected. :jerkbag:

Yeah of course hacks work already but I just hope BattlEye flags cheaters and that there's going to be some kind of huge banwave or something

Speaking of, I've been kinda hopeful for a super vertical style map, like maybe a Tokyo skyscraper for the Japan DLC or something. The distinctness of plane rather than it being a bunch of rooms in a building shape is why it's my favourite map in the game, it'd be nice to have more strange ones like that.

This is what I'm hoping for, the night time skybox would be amazing. Also the attacker should get a tactical katana.

As for the condition of the game, Thermite is still fragless and Pulse is still buffed. Fix your game, Hard.

It felt kind of mean to have to put in extra grind compared to how much time i'd likely put into the game. I guess i'm foolish taking a lot of the unironic complaints in this thread at face value though! Maybe fun times with friends over the weekend will sway me.

I just finished putting together my first gaming PC, and I really want to buy this (especially at 50% off) but I can't justify it because I own it on PS4, and the grind to unlock everything again seems too tedious.

Is there a way to import my account + progress from my PS4 to my PC? Probably not, but it can't hurt to ask

I don't feel bad about my starter edition at all. Buying stuff on sale actually dumbs down choice for me which is fine and spending more time with each operator is probably a good thing.

Hey Hard, I know it's not really a priority but could you guys please up the visibility on the Bartlet University map? The piss fog makes it so you can't actually see anything 90% of the time. It'd be fine if it clustered at floor level exclusively but instead you get swirls in front of you making it literally impossible to see further han 2-3 metres. :(

Also, how come the map hasn't been made into a MP map yet? All the assets are there. :confused:

There isn't but the default guys unlock quick enough anyway, the season pass isn't on sale but the "gold" edition which includes it is, given how much more the post-release operators cost and how many of them there are now(about to be 6) it's actually a pretty reasonable purchase.

Take advantage of the free weekend and wait until nearer the end to decide whether or not you want to pull the trigger on buying the game again.

It makes the map artificially much harder than any other T Hunt map you could possibly get match-made in, and it comes up a lot if you're trying to find online T Hunt matches (to, for example, fulfil the weekly challenges).

The atmosphere is great, but the piss fog needs to be made less obstructive so that you can actually see enemies before they start shooting at you.

e; also seriously why the hell do recruits still only have one wall reinforcement.
