First to Fight Scuttle, First to Fall Sink


Thanks hard, Hard. I can't get an ethernet wired to this PC anytime soon so I will probably just buy some powerline adapters soon.

I own the uPlay version of the game and was contemplating picking up the starter version on Steam to link my accounts, because most of my buds have the steam version and I like the verisimilitude of having them all clumped up, but I more than likely won't bother if the amount of renown I get is less than a legendary skin and stick to just F2P skins

Thank you, Hard, for making a game in which being an Argentinian on a 6Mb connection is a legit advantage against Europeans with 100+ Mb while playing on their home servers.

i do not think your nat type has anything to do with your ping or packet loss. if your nat type isn't changing when you open your ports, you're either doing it incorrectly, opening the wrong ports, or siege is mis-reporting.

I think Siege does mis-report your NAT state for some people. I have all the ports forwarded and I'm still always moderate. I once tried the suggestion of opening like 60000 ports (lol) and that only gave me an open NAT in siege about 50% of the time. It's either using some fucky way of detecting it or siege is actually just using ports over a massive range. I haven't had any trouble connecting though so I'm not too worried about it.

I'd advice against buying a steam copy and then linking it to a uplay account that already has a copy registered to it. Last time I did that I ''lost'' a copy of the game. Don't quite remember what happens if the steam copy you're trying to link to uplay is a starter edition.

tldr; i know steam has everything and all but at the end of the day even your steam bros will have to launch uplay to play the game.

I don't know when, but they accidentally uploaded an aerial shot of the map onto the official Siege Tactical Whiteboard (currently in maitenance), so we have an idea what's the layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbEMXCmU8jw (the thing is now down and this video is how I've heard about it so here you go)

A limit of 250 would make it impossible for me to play with my cool Ozzie friends and with Azran (unless some East Coast goon anchors us into his server halfway between the EU and Argentina)

You can actually edit the settings file and set a certain server to be your default if you want to use one outside of your actual region. Party leader's region(or set region) determines what server the whole group plays on. For instance since most of the people I play with are on the east coast US or in Europe I've got mine set to the east coast server even though I live in the central US.

Make sure you're not in game when you change it though or it won't save or take effect.

acogs promote pixel sniping which is cool outdoors but ugh when the game focuses around indoor shootouts

Nah, it was supposed to a joke how it keeps being underwhelming even after we knew it's not gonna be The Big Patch.

I'm joking tho, I still love the game and the improvements are making it better and better every patch, and the team working on it is making a great job with the patches and with communicating everything.


As a Pole, I am still a bit upset that our map got scrapped and that makes me a bit bitter.

tbf we could have stamped any country on (almost) any maps so it's not like they have this unique country flavor.

The Grom op is fun though :)


e: I guess since we're semi on the ''proud to be from X country'' subject i'll share a story that happened maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. Bear with me on the details.

So I went to do some shopping downtown, it was a pretty busy weekend even by Montreal's summer standards where both ''just for laugh'' festival and electrics cars race were happening. Tons of tourists, which is cool if you're there for the events and not simply trying to make your way to the stores.

Anyways i'm waiting in line at the bestbuy thinking to myself that I could have ordered those cables from Amazon and I notice a bunch of foreign kids all dressed in euro-foot gear in front of me.(MTL is very multi ethnic but you can tell when someones not from here.) I somehow notice one of them holds an XB1 racing game like GT or F1 or whatever so I turn to my friend whos also working on R6 and go like pffft while rolling my eyes. She chuckles at my dumb joke as we pass by the kids to pay at the counter.

This is when one of them notices my ESL R6 Proleague(lol) tee shirt and say in what I misunderstood for Portuguese '' bla bla R6 pro league'' So i turn around and smile, they all had googly eyes ''Mister, are you a pro in Rainbow6?'' in a fairly good English. ''No... [intentional pause just to get their hype down] ..but I'm working on it? Kids went from :magical: to :supaburn: so i figured i'd chat with them a bit. Who's your fav op? Thermite! coo, coo and what about you? Caveira! Oh so are you guys from Brazil? No, we're from Mexico! Promise me you're going to do Mexican operators, it would be amazing! So i gave them my work email and that reminds me that i have to convince PR to send them some goodies if they ever email me :p

TLDR; Cool :ese: kids made my day while I was in a pretty bitchy mood. I guess I'm sharing this because sometimes you forget how much some R6 fan like to be represented in game.
