The fibre cable across the atlantic goes from London to New York so you can get good pings to eastern servers from the UK. It's usually 100-120 in most games for me.

Isn't that a toggle in the options, just like you can toggle that you can drop all 3 of Smoke Gas canisters and activate them with different buttons?

:aaaaa: I never knew you could do this! Do you recall what the option is called, for that? Since the only "gadget toggle? Y/N" option I've found in the past didn't seem to have an effect for any of the operators.
As a Monty-user, I was really hoping it would allow me to toggle Montagne's shield, but unless I'm wrong (please tell me I'm wrong) there's no option for that. :sigh:

Nope sorry, that was something that should have came out at the same time as when we did it for Pulse but turns out it was more hosed than anticipated.

Oh man, or even just like, a two-door hallway/room they need (or are likely to) go through to reach the objective! Put one canister by each door, then one somewhere in the middle of the room (or however it'll best balance out, so that gas fills the entire room) and watch as they either die, or sprint into an ambush and get shot. Better yet if you have Echo (or even one of Valk's cams) in the room, to hit them with concussion waves, at the same time as the gas is released.

I'm still at work so I can't check, but are you able to set it so that throwing the canisters and detonating all of the canisters (as in, simultaneously, not individually as Kikas mentioned earlier) at once are just two different buttons? If so, I think I've just found my new defence main! :black101:

Just won 8 straight casual games, all flawless victories, and capped it off with a hard fought 9th win. This was with 3 randoms and a duo buddy. We kept playing together after the first flawless round and just kept rolling. Welp, I should probably get to bed. R6 has couched itself into the shooter prefer most nights if I'm gonna play, but this is only after the annoying as gently caress baptizing period.

The only good tactic is to have loving good headphones

If I remember correctly, I believe Hard stated most of the devs use Hyper X Cloud II's because they sent them to them or something?

So if you want headphones that the devs use to make the game: buy those.

Also they are really good.

And if Hard corrects me and says "nuh uh" don't listen to this post.

I think there has been some miscommunication on our side. A lot of those improvements are coming at the very end of the season, but many people were expecting them to be at the beginning. Unfortunately, I think the blame really lies with us there. We need to be better at explaining.

Yeah no poo poo. Maybe it has something to do with saying "Operation Health is about smaller, more frequent patches" and then improving almost literally nothing until the very end?

Operation Health as whole can be described as "meh".

Devs gotta do what they gotta do and that's fine, but maybe try not being full of poo poo.

Game still p good though.

Hard, can you hurry up and release these new operators already? Not because i'm an impatient gently caress that wants to play them but because i'm already sick of all the Seige youtubers going over the same 10-15 seconds of footage and talking about the same things.


Speaking of youtubers though, i love Matimo's sunday mailbox series because the amount and absurdity of some of these "what if" operators people come up with is worth a laugh. Like in this latest one somebody talks about an operator that can close up drone holes. I just like the idea of sombody cutting out a little section of Castle barricade, getting on their belly and plugging up a drone hole. :allears:

Yup, pretty good read. I'm amazed you guys are planning to go for 100 Operators, when I believe we've only got like a quarter of that number right now? Still, if you don't repeat CTUs, it'd be fun to see more countries being represented. I remember Wargame got a ton of attention when they started adding The Netherlands, Israel, Finland, etc. because of how under-represented they are in games.

You could fill out every CTU to 4 operators and still have room for another 12 or so countries at 4 each as well.

If you read the article i posted earlier, Alex said we wanna go up to 100 operators so yeah chances are all the dumb ideas + many more will see the day of light. Can wait for something like Haaaaaaaard, that buttplug operator! CALLED IT.

add an operator that lets you gently caress with sound mechanics, like put a little decoy speaker or something that you can play operator specific sound effects/footsteps/farts or whatever around the map

keep ash as the glass cannon standard and add more recon/support operators instead of combat focused ones and i'll probably play this game forever

An operator that works similar to how Jackal does only it lets you tap into their voice comms for up to 10 seconds per scan.
