New players is always a good thing.

The part that sucks is this is the time shitlords like to take advantage and register new accounts so they can try out all those sweet hacks.

I'll take an idiot TK'er because "rook mine" over a hacker anytime.

Who said we're only banning by accounts?

Battleye evolved a lot in the past few months, any free/cheap hacks will get identified before they can even make a kill and that's if they can boot the game at all.

i actually like playing with inexperienced players regardless of which side they're on. the shootouts are more exciting when they don't end immediately at first pixel exposure.

if you have a mic its the best time to roleplay thatcher :britain:

i've found the best way to neutralize toxic players in games like this is to just kill them with kindness and play a support role so they feel important enough to actually try

This this this, except the whole, ''let me add you as a friend'' Nah man, welcome to Siege it was cool once or twice but now I gotta get back to spawnpeeking.

The gently caress put Yacht back in.

Unless you are fixing the nuclear sunlight by strategically placing air conditioning units throughout the level like you did for Kafe I can't see why you'd take Yacht out.

I'll just have to appreciate it by looking at it from the Coastline map I guess..

Whose loving retarded idea is it to omit maps from rotation? Ubisoft proving they are the dumbest company in business in every turn.


Lmao the "new players are having a hard time learning the maps" excuse. I swear to god....

If only there was a way to server side limit the map rotation for rank <25 players without removing it for the rest of us. Nah that would be too easy.

Yeah really. I assume this is some sort of console related limitation? Does Microsoft only allow a game to be xxGB?

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
The gently caress is this change, wow. Can we just get two ranked search options, one for the tryhards that need perfect balance and another for those of us that want some variety? 9 maps is gonna get stale so quickly. And the new map won't even be in ranked?

And I hope to hell they change their mind on removing some maps entirely. Even Bartlett is okay occasionally.

Calm down for what? First you guys actually hosed us over for OP health and went "heh you are not getting that map we promised you" and didn't release any new content in months and now you are actually taking away content that is in the game with the lamest excuse possible. There is a reason Ubisoft is the butt of every joke in gaming and it is not because you guys are competent.

I try avoiding the WE VS YOU since i've always considered myself a goon before anything else in this thread but I guess it can't be helped :/

Blaming an entire company of ~10k individuals over a map change seems overkill is all i'm saying.

I'm also curious on how you consider Op Health gently caress you over? It's not completely out yet. You can say how much Ubi is the equivalent of Hitler if you're not happy with the result but in the meantime stop being mad at a videogame man.
