Beastie posted:I feel like defenders going outside should appear on your hud instantly as well as pinging on your compass. It's a loving siege that's been surrounded by police officers but you can totally run outside. I agree completely. It's also one of the things I dislike about Terrorist Hunt missions (yes I know, 'why are you playing TH'), since although the area is surrounded by police cars, somehow entire groups of terrorists (including bombers in those bullet-resistant hazmat suits) just run in from off-map between the police cars and get you from behind.

I take it you're all playing from the US or Europe, right? Since I'm in Australia and I've actually encountered maybe only 2-3 hackers in total as surprising as that may seem, (although this is only across 37hrs according to Steam, so not exactly a substantial amount of playtime) so it seems pretty good - at least in my region. Certainly no worse (or not much worse, at least) than other FPS games I've played online.

ten_twentyfour posted:Ravenshield dominated my life for like a year. Such a great game. It was my first slow, tactical multiplayer shooter. One of my favorite games of all time. Same here - not even SWAT4 holds a candle to R63:RS, in my eyes. What was everyone's (well, everyone who played RS I guess) favourite map, out of curiosity? Just for quick Terrorist Hunts and multiplayer games, that is. Myself and my group of friends always played Presidio, so I'm curious about whether most of the playerbase was the same, or if there were other, more popular maps being played. (Since we never played it online, due to our terrible  internet connections)EDIT: Speaking of , are there any active Siege players Down Under, on Steam? If so, friend me! I'm playing R6:S most evenings, so I'd be up for some goon matches in the future.(And I know there's a spreadsheet in the OP, although it's not necessarily filled with still-active players) Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Apr 29, 2016 |

I'm more interested in how drones manage to move sideways/strafe, myself.

A 50S RAYGUN posted:the amount of damage you take into the negatives must be a factor because it feels way safer to toe someone with a lower caliber pistol than a high one Yeah, I believe this is the case as well. I think it must also carry across into the bleedout mode, since in some games where I think I just hit 0hp I was able to survive a pistol round or two in my legs/feet, while I was crawling around a corner to safety - however on other occasions where I think I must've dipped a fair way into the negatives when I was gunned-down into bleedout mode, getting shot in the foot by a handgun finished me off straight away. EDIT: Also, I like how pulling someone up off the floor allows them to immediately carry on (as opposed to making a token effort to patch them up first, like in L4D - not a great example I know, though), despite them being in bleedout mode. I mean, thanks for helping me up, but I'm still no less full of holes and bleeding all over the floor!

Hey Hard, not sure if you're aware or not, but there don't seem to be any ammo dumps/resupply points on Border in Terrorist Hunt - at least, not on classic mode, anyway. (and yes yes, I know, what am I doing even playing thunt? Well, I sometimes like to just kill 10min trying out guns like in R6:Vegas, dammit!)

Foehammer posted:Hard please increase the shotgun pellet damage for headshots on suicide bombers, ty A thousand times this. Same for 7.62 rounds into the face-plate at close range, even - I shouldn't need to put an extended burst with an AR into suicide bombers' faces to put them down, surely. Also, that reminded me of a question that I had forgotten to ask until now: does the last situation ("Article ##" or whatever - the one involving playing with a full online team on a college map) give you any extra renown/other bonuses? Since from memory I did it by just searching for T-Hunt games online and joining some newbie's lobby and we won (don't recall getting any bonus renown though), however seeing as I've bothered to actually get up to it by completing the previous situations, I can't actually find anyone to do it with. And that college/university map's unique, right? How come it's not in the map rotation, if so? (I'm sure it is - don't tell me I'm imagining things)

Basticle posted:Bandit is flexible in that you can take barbed wire to put in doorways to electricute and kill drones to replace or suplement mute jammers or you can electrify walls to replace or suplement jammers to keep enemies from breaching. Either way if you are bandit you have low armor and high speed, you need to be roaming 100% of the time. Speaking as a frequent Mute player though, be careful when setting up batteries at walls/doorways near where Mute's jammers/wireless routers are set up, as they will (more often than not) be destroyed due to the proximity of your car battery

Oh, and a question of my own - if I want to be roaming, is Jager with his carbine a good choice for it? Or should I be using his other gun/not roaming with him at all? And on the topic of roaming, how far should you typically be going? Like, going to the far side of the building where it's suspected enemies will be coming from, or dwelling a room or two away from the objective, or? (I mean, I've played the game a reasonable amount as-is, although when I'm a defender I'm primarily in the objective area and haven't roamed much)

Yeah it's basically the future-hit VR training experience "Rainbow Six: Civil War" (since why else would Rainbow operatives be killing one another? I for one find it interesting that it's essentially just one big friendly-fire incident, seeing as the adversarial modes are Rainbow vs Rainbow, unlike with thunt. I guess it's one way of filtering out the chaff from the wheat! )EDIT: Rainbow was better when John Clark was in charge! (Speaking of which, in R6 'lore', who is in charge of Rainbow at the time of R6:S?

I was just playing a THunt with friends the other day and noticed that the operators talked poo poo/banter with one another a bit, mostly at the start of the round. How come that doesn't occur in regular MP matches? I reckon it'd be great starting off rounds with Buck or Fuze talking some poo poo about being 'the hunters'/telling everyone to keep up with them and whatnot, rather than the silence you get in MP as-is.

Hey Hard, would it be possible for the flag on BB's portrait (below) to be corrected? As it's currently backwards. I noticed the same thing with every single menu background photo of the soldier during the Dustline period, however I let that be, seeing as I knew it would be temporary, with those. I'm assuming he was originally facing left, then mirrored? If so, his unit emblem is no doubt the wrong way around as well, heh

Gunder posted:Castle + Mute can be effective at my skill level on some maps. Especially if there's no Sledge or Ash. Yeah, with Mute he can be pretty decent, provided you can deal with any Ash-/Sledge-related threats before they re-open your barricaded doors. Otherwise he's just really not great. I really think Wooper's suggestion could be good - it would be amazing to be able to seal off your flanks! Especially if you wind up inadvertently blocking off a roamer who was lying in wait, before moving in from behind

That and/or planted claymores really put a stop to any attempts made by the defenders to retake the objective. (Had a game last night where I was in this situation and it went perfectly. Didn't think to save the shadowplay recording though, unfortunately. So far I've only remembered to record humorous moments that involve myself or another player screwing up horribly...which to be fair is most of the time anyway )

Sultan Tarquin posted:So apparently over the last few days I've been playing this and trying to use in-game mic the volume has been so low it's been totally inaudible to anyone that I've been trying to talk to. Even though I can load up audacity while the game is running and the volume is at the absolute perfect level and every single other voice chat program works fine except this one. Any one had the same issue? I tried googling but it's all non advice from a year ago. I haven't had this issue myself, but a friend of mine has. From what he told me a while ago, apparently you can fix it by (after starting the game I believe) alt-tabbing and going into Control Panel > Sound > Recording (tab), then selecting your mic and going into the 'levels' tab. I think you can ignore the top slider, as there should be at least one other underneath that gets lowered. Try having a fiddle and crank that/those up, and see if it improves at all. Letting another of my friends know about this has fixed it for them as well, so hopefully it will for you, too.

Jehde posted:Spain: World Park (From the book.) I agree with this, mostly. I'm really hoping that the Spanish map is World Park as I love the R6 novel, but I'm sure it'll wind up being something else, much like my shattered hopes of the Brazil map being the eco-terrorist base/hideout in the amazon rainforest (which I knew at the time was a pipe-dream and that it would be favelas, but I can always hope). It might wind up being the Barcelona Olympic Stadium (seeing as Israel doesn't seem like it's coming, now) instead, or perhaps a freight ship like someone else mentioned, I think. Not 100% about South Korea's though, either - and I think Hong Kong also has a high chance of having an actual skyscraper as its map.

Ularg posted:I'm either not aggressive and always the last one alive and die embarrassingly, or I'm too aggressive and I'm the first to die embarrassingly. I've found that one tactic is to identify the aforementioned overly-aggressive player on your team, then follow/shadow them (slightly farther back of course, so you don't get killed in the same burst!) during the assault on the objective, then just kill the people who attack the aggressive player. Don't worry about whether they live or die, just take out everyone who attacks the decoy player, then just break off and perform your own plan, when things inevitably go south for your aggressive decoy!
