I've gotten a few drone phase hostage kills and more than my fair share of team damage caused with drones.

But that was the first time I ever got a drone phase TK.

I love it when this happens! Get the attention of someone with a shotgun, then jump over the head of the hostage - your drone might get blasted, but chances are the hostage will too! (Also good if you cause team damage that results in a TK-fest between 2-3 players. Had this happen once to both the enemy team and my own team in the same match, in separate defense rounds...such a bunch of idiots)

this isnt mine but I was in this game

Used my drone to hide in the foot of an AFK guy. His teammate shoots the drone, thereby shooting his teammate in the foot. The AFK guy notices the damage, thinks his teammate is trolling him, and TKs the guy. Another teammate then TKs him. It was beautiful -

Yeah, it's hugely annoying seeing this day in and day out with the limited numbers of the community (so you'll generally see the same pricks over and over again). It'd be nice if next to the Report Suspicious Behavior button there was a Report Code of Conduct Violation button that either just took a screenshot and sent that in to Ubisoft or dumped the whole text chat for the match and sent that in. As it stands you have to go through the website in order to really see any results to your reporting.

Wait, you really think the Report Suspicious Behavior button does anything? It's a placebo button.

I'm assuming there's some lonely unwatched email account somewhere that gets all the in-game reports, but going through the website/ticket system actually works and as a bonus for narcing you get sweet sweet Uplay points out of it.

Started playing this game and hopping into some online games after doing the Situations, this game is really fun. Trying to 3* every one to get some unlocks for my Operators I do have. Whats the rundown on the dudes with the shields? I'm leaning towards picking up Blitz over the French dude.

I prefer Blitz but I know people who swear by Montagne. They are good at different things. Blitz can flash people standing in front of him and looking at him to blind them. This can be helpful to kill them. It can be completely unhelpful and get you killed trying to drop your shield and shoot them with your pistol. Your teammates will probably steal all your kills anyway. I would say Blitz is more frightening to encounter in a dark alleyway than Montagne, who is kind of a pincushion to absorb fire until his teammates can murder people, but I have seen Montagne players clutch rounds, so he is not to be underestimated.

Fuze is a shield dude aswell, but he has the added versatility of picking a really good assault rifle or machine gun instead.

Yeah Blitz sounds up my alley so I'll go for him next. I always forget about Fuze's shield but I really like the AK he has so I tend to forget it exists.
