CROSSHAIRS DON’T TURN RED ON ENEMIES ANYMORE
NO MORE CROSSHAIR HIT MARKERS ON BLACKBEARD’S SHIELD
ENEMY ID ONLY TRIGGERS ON SUCCESSFUL SCANS

I never thought about the crosshair and identification indicator stuff at all but that's a really welcome change actually

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a goat.
Smokes looking the same for all players is a huge change too (and super awesome as someone who loving loves smokes).

The ACOG removal for speed 3 ops being defender only makes a lot more sense than taking it from every speed 3

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?
I thought it said "BORF Update" and now I'm sad it doesn't. I want the most current BORFs.

For real though, these notes are super exciting to see. I can imagine some pretty sweet recon setups with the double drone option, and I've been meaning to try and give Capitao an honest shot (I love the versatility of smokes). Thanks, Hard and friends!

I'm happy to see how much support Siege gets still. I never expect that from a developer, especially not UBISoft. Generally even games like this are abandoned by now. This level of content nearing 2 years later is impressive.

If Kafe was the most memory intensive map that shuts down the theory that the "data limit" map removal excuse was actually memory limitations right? Like they are actually removing maps because of harddrive space?

Ohhh wow this is actually a really important change no one has mentioned yet, they changed it so the actual bullet path matches the visual tracer path and impact decals etc. So no more bullets that appear to hit an object directly in front of someone as they leave their gun but still go on to do damage!

"Shooting feedback systems is now more accurate

The shooting feedback systems like bullet tracers, hit reactions like decals on the environment, and threat indicators in the UI were based on a trajectory that started from the weapon muzzle. This led to inconsistencies, as the real bullet trajectory in Rainbow starts from the 1st person camera. Shooting feedback systems are now fully consistent and based on real bullet trajectories. We need to make a shoutout to ExecCS, who is the community member who alerted us on that with a youtube video."

It's gonna be goofy to see bullets fly from people's scopes but whatever, better than having glaz snipe you after 3 shots because from your perspective he's hitting the chair in front of him and you don't see where he is.

Removing Yacht instead of bartlett is the real mystery because Bartlett is loving awful and Yacht is one of the better DLC maps.

I like Favela way more than Yacht or Bartlett. It loving sucks if you get the yellow room objective as defender but the rest of the map has a lot of unique gameplay with all the places you can pop out from.

The solution is to not remove maps from casual, leave that to the tryhard ranked queues.

The worst change by far is you apparently have to cam scan people to ID them now? I hope that gives me the option of disabling ally scans on my valk cams, it's already bad enough as it is when idiot teammates snitch on my cams.

It's good because the code for IDing people was garbage and you could often scan people multiple times and not ID them even though you were staring at their face for 5 seconds.

Echo's drone should dissipate smoke when used.

Also my friend suggested enclosing the outside staircase on Favelas, the one next to yellow/murderbox. Less exposed walls for that horrible point, and another way for attackers to get in.

CSGO does something similar to this with different ranked playlists, the main one mirroring the current 'pro' season. The whole 'data assets' thing is nonsense and I'd rather they just openly admit they can't be bothered to keep supporting those maps.

My guess is still console data limits. Still a dumb thing though I can understand not wanting to split console and PC development in areas you don't have to.

That is so weird. I don't understand that at all. Forza Motorsport 7 on Xbox One is going to be 100GB. Gears of War 4 is 80GB on Xbox. So the idea of removing maps entirely from Siege is super weird.

Hahah what? All this time i was telling people that "STOP SCANNING ON DRONE ROUND YOU SHITHEADS" it was due to a bug? Goddamn.

I guess now that we got dual drone support would be the best time to fix it though. I like all the bugfixes. Still mad about removing maps and limiting the ranked map pool.

All those small mapfixes mean that people put an amazing amout of care and polish into this game, especially the little stuff like rappel anchors floating a bit in the air on Barlett, it's amazing. This season is gonna be pretty smooth to play.
