It has a bit of an unusual lay-out and as a defender you can quite easily rotate between the garage vault area and the fitness room/bedroom areas through the bar (though be wary of attackers pushing in through there if the round already started). Use this to get sick peeks on the attackers as they attack the objective on the other side from the roof.

As an attacker, always be wary of these peeks and breach exterior walls if possible to get extra ways in. The bar area is really the central aprt of the map and defenders often have somebody skulking in the kitchen to flank or protect the hatch (if they're in the basement level).

Anything in particular you're struggling with? Specific objectives or just general map lay-out?

I'm playing at scrub level still (i played this for around 70 hours or so but never really taking it seriously and just laughing with fuze) but now that i'm taking it a little more serious i'm pretty sure everyone sucks if you're just aggressive as hell.

Knew a guy was hiding behind a wall so I just shottied out the whole wall like I was the villain in some monster movie. Dude was talking in chat about how he had no idea wtf was going on, all he could hear was gunfire and all he could see was the wall exploding.

Yeah maybe at higher skill levels/ranked the meta revolves around pixel-width shots but down here it seems like there's a good mix of times to hold your ground and peek and times to barrel around the map like a big truck, and enough Operators that have good and fun abilities to help you do both.

It took me a long time to discover how brilliant Siege actually is. I bought the game last year but didn't give it a chance until this summer.

Anyone else having major issues with Hibana charges? Seems like almost every single round now I'll fire the charges, and 1-3 of them bounce off the wall, the other charges, or literally nothing. Makes it real hard to get a vault-able hole. I'm guessing it has something to do with firing at an angle.

The place I've noticed it most is the secret tunnel on biker bar.

I keep forgetting throwing physics has been added. Amount of times I've gone to strafe throw a nade, only for it to bounce off a wall and blow me up (I like cooking them til the last possible second). Very embarrassing.

I also have a tendency to breach charge myself to death when I try to do a tacticool window entrance.

Makes him a heavy roamer/shield counter with ~5 seconds of full auto gently caress your face if he catches your team in a gaggle.

I really wish operation health fixed the absolute bogus situation whereby bullets originate from the reticle when you ADS. I genuinely think they should add a mechanic that means if you're pressed tight up against a wall, your gun is forcefully raised as there's literally no space for it. It'd prevent all these absolutely filthy angles that are nigh invisible to spot.

I'm not asking for a milsim lol. I totally get it's an arcade shooter, but leaving things that way just makes for really frustrating deaths. I'm hooked on this game and no amount of me bashing it will change the fact I keep coming back for more and more like the filthy junkie I am. I just want the little things to be fixed so it's perfection (like it deserves to be).

I think giving his turret a wider range of motion and speeding up the set-up and break-down times would do a lot for him. Maybe give him an option to rip the MG off the turret and carry it at reduced speed Wolfenstein or Halo style, but you ditch the shield and can't reload when you detach the gun from the turret.

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?

Feels good, right? I went a solid 9 months not touching this game cause I despised it. Picked it up again about a month ago. Been playing it almost daily since. The game becomes fun when you get map knowledge. Something just clicked for me this time around and I started using my brain instead of rushing around or attacking from the same angle nonstop. When you start flanking and making sneaky impact nade holes to run about, it feels so good to outwit someone.

After trap meta I was pretty sick of it. Now I am feeling better though I honestly do still wish there were less trap operators in the game.

Or at least give me an offensive trap operator :getin:

i like shooters that make you cycle magazines. it worked well in red orchestra where pretty much everyone died in 1-3 hits. its also funny when you put a mag in and there's only 1 burst left.

but in a game like this, that would end up with an operator whose ability is to arcade reload or something. an attacker version of rook that supplies ammo would be op as heck and it'd be funny to see defenders trying to go for it if its at the front door

I just got this game a few days ago because it was on sale and I've heard a ton of good things about it.
Played through all of the Situations, unlocked a bunch of operators, played some matches online and so far i'm having a good time.
There seems to be a ton of depth in there and I'm kind of enjoying the whole relatively slow gameplay but relatively short matches thing.

Is there any good guide or tutorial video I can watch that would explain to me things that aren't covered in the game tutorial/situations that I need to know to properly play the game?

EDIT: Also, if I decide that I want to get the Year 1 and 2 operators, what's the cheapest way to do that?
