For people who've played on TTS, are MP and shotgun secondaries still worth taking on everyone or do you just automatically pick pistols now? I can't imagine it's the latter but you never know.

Shotgun secondary give so much utility that I'd probably never pass on those

Shotgun secondary is hella useful (even though it doesn't make large holes) mainly for trap door blowing and scrub killing. If you switch to your secondary to off somebody that's just the gun equivalent of tea-bagging their corpse.

Yeah, that's my point. Machine pistols are the main one where I'm not sure.

Both machine pistols are really, really good so pistols would have to be better than most primaries for that to be the case.

There are plenty of people who run with a shotgun primary for utility and use their machine pistol to kill everyone.

The SMG-12 and CZ75 are both really good and still better than using a pistol imo

To yolo rolls! The cause and solution to all problems!
Something's glitching with the phone reset. I have non default mappings.

HUD tells me to hold 5, but holding 5 pulls out my secondary gadget, which should be mapped to 4. The only thing I have on 5 is Spec Cam Player 5.

So, I'm trying to find the drat command in the controls and it doesn't look like they added anything new there. Any else having this problem?

so how come the menu system takes literally a minute to load? it's almost impossible to do that stuff in between matches.

and i timed how long it took to unlock all the attachments i wanted for the new operators (i have the s2 pass so they were all unlocked). it took just over 7 and half minutes to do it all. that is a sloooow menu system

Thank you from the bottom of my crusty heart. These operators have terrible taste in ringtones.

Edit. Nope, it wasn't on that button. Maybe I have to do all the maps again to override the patch.

Edit 2: Okay here's the solution for non standard keys:

Remap camera button back to 5.
Remap camera button back to whatever sensible button you prefer to loving 5.
Now it works.
Thanks, Ubisoft. Good QA you have there.

but its so slow and my time is so valuable :(

i realllllly like the new map though. it's big enough that it changes the game up a little bit, to where it kind of feels like the old Splinter Cell multiplayer - it feels like you're doing more infiltration and recon stuff, darting around in the shadows to flank

new operators are cool too - they do seem a little more on the "Pop-Culture Edgy Hacker" side of things, rather than the faceless veteran R6 operators of yesteryear, but the game is kind of that way in general so it's no big deal imo. they have cool gadgets and weapons and their uniforms are pretty cool too

the pistol enhancement in this patch is bonkers too, i think they're the most overall competent pistols in any video games now. i still wish they'd make sight attachments for them though

Game 1: 0-3 on new map against a group that played the map a bunch on TTS
Game 2: Personally go 12-2, but end up losing 1-3
Game 3: Get TKed every round by derankers

Unless you're really good at the game, spent a buncha time on TTS, or just don't care much, doing solo placement matches the first few days of a major patch for any game is a bad idea. The things you listed aren't exclusive to siege at all :shrug:

i would use Frost a lot more if her gun wasn't so stupid and janky looking. Cavieara's old-rear end gun almost makes sense but Canada stopped using Frost's gun before she was even born

also you should save up for her Blood Orchid camo because even though camo isn't very important in Siege, Frost and Buck's white outfit pops out a lot more than other operators do

I'll keep that in mind. I do want to play digital dress-up with everyone but I feel like unlocking characters first is probably a good idea.

I was planning to get Mira after the glitch that temporarily unlocked all operators. Managed to play two rounds as her and thought she was fun.

But there's a challenge to play JTF 2 operators for a Skeleton Key charm so the lure of free stuff wins out.

second game as zofia, I got downed by cav and stood back up to kill her with melee swing as she waddled over to get her interrogate :feelsgood:

also gently caress, the white noise skins look fantastic, especially on the spetsnaz. that 50 dollar skin bundle is mighty tempting...

also, discovered that mute jammers apparently block dok's phone ringing? you can also combo her with IQ to perfectly pinpoint people while they have their phones pulled out. and uh, ADSing that gadget is amazing with the pistol buff. I keep landing gnarly pistol snipes with Blitz too, the change is really really good.

Is there a toggle somewhere for the terrorist hunt game search to be automatic and basically hands free after a game like before?

Now that you have to click 'keep playing as a team' or else it dumps you back to the main menu to do another round of search.
