Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

They can be melee'd down after 12? 16? melee hits. Don't lock your team in the objective room with the barricades. The ideal use is as a way to funnel the attackers where you want them to go, or make them waste their resources on one. I don't play Castle so I don't know how to actually accomplish this.

I don't like boat because it's too restrictive for inventive play and way too easy to reinforce everything. I don't like Favela because it's the opposite problem where you can just level an entire floor and because of the lighting you can no longer see, or the defenders get to be so aggressive that it feels like CoD S&D than R6.

They can be meleed down, but hopefully someone is paying attention and shoots them from under the door. I use them mostly to block off windows or doors that are tricky to see, that I very much don't want people sneaking into.

Castle's utility shoots way up if you're working together with Mute, also - though bullets don't work on his plates, they provide perfect spots for Fuze to set up, or even just to breach charge without worrying about being shot through the barricade. Mute can help with that problem.

I bought the starter kit for this a while ago and never really played it. I also watched the SuperBunnyHop video about this game and I have decided to actually put some effort in.

With matchmaking being what it is, I'm a little concerned that if I play with Goons I will get matched up against similarly goony enemies, all of whom will stamp a hole into me. If i play with goons will I just get stomped on by the enemy team in the first 5 second of a match? Is there a big enough pool of players for someone to learn the ropes before moving on to playing with more experienced players?

1 Sledge swing or 12 melee hits. Good Castle barricade placing depends on map.

Casual playlist makes no attempt to have teams of similar skill as far as I know. But I don't know if they try to match premade groups against each other or not.

Also, I tend to find Castle most useful on Hostage where you can barricade a window and be certain Fuse won't try anything cheeky in fear of killing the hostage. Otherwise I feel like whenever I try to Castle a back entrance my teammates instantly get the urge to go roaming and break it down. Then someone else whines when the enemy team goes through that now open door.

I still maintain that Castle's value increases 10x if he saves his barricades until:
a) There is less than ~1 minute on the clock
b) There are only 1 or 2 players left on the enemy team

b) is why you Castle was useless earlier in the game, when the meta was to take breaching charges on every possible attacker. Conversely, that's also his strength in "pro" games, where people don't take breaching charges, but it is diminished due to nearly constant Sledge/Buck/Capitao picks on attack.

BunnyHop's video was ok in my book. (Our Brand director tweeted it as being pretty on point.)

As for MM, while its frustrating getting stomped theres a lot to learn in losing if you take the time to understand why you died instead of raging.

Casual will only take your ping/data center and the number of people in your squad for it's matchmaking formula.
Ranked will try its darn best to match you against people of your skill level.

Also yeah, the playerbase is big enough but depending on the time of day and composition of your squad you might get matchmaked against the same team twice in a row.

This is a good Castle advice.
After a while you learn to know which operator carries what. Gadgets callouts play a huge part in the strategy.
Keep a castle or 2 until later in the round to completely block access or create funnel routes.

No, wait until your entire team has gone roaming, and then join them, remembering to lock up the point with your barricades so no bad guys can get in!

To expand on this, there is a lot to learn from playing with experienced players who can feed you info about how things (can)work outside of the obvious application of various mechanics, like what was posted a little while back about getting more use from valk cams by blowing out the top of a wall and tucking the camera into the hole, and how certain gadgets are a bit of a mixed bag because not every gadget only has an upside to it's use.

Castle's improved barricade, for example, is pretty notorious for ruining games because team-mates get shut out of objectives, and has the downside of still allowing through Fuze's cluster-bomb gadget which leaves a neat little murderhole in the barricade for the attackers to use.

The best thing you can do when you get killed is to watch the killcam, it won't be that often that it's a really simple case of them shooting better than you in a firefight.
A lot of the time it's going to be a guy noticing where you were from a certain spot because of sound or a camera and then making a move on you, and that sort of thing gives you a really good idea of when and where you're vulnerable from certain positions and gives you and your teammates something to look for.

Also if you're playing with goons, ask questions, there mostly aren't really any super dumb questions, pubbies are less likely to be helpful, they usually won't be dicks but they almost certainly won't contribute.

Sound is super important and listening to things like footsteps is how a lot of kills happen, so if someone says "shut up/quiet/shhh", you do it, they're not being rude, they're just having an Elmer Fudd moment and gotta kill da wabbit.

IMO there is two ways to play Castle.

1. As stated above, board up certain entrances to funnel attackers into a specific kill box for you/your team.

2. Slow them down.

Playing the first strat is fairly difficult as you have to not only put the blockades up in places that will funnel the enemy in the correct direction but also not impede your teammates ability to move. It's the kind of thing that if done wrong could severely negatively impact your team as you may unintentionally give the enemy an advantage. Can't tell you how many times we've used the enemy teams blockades against them. Which is why I suggest playing for time instead as its much easier to do and often times much more effective. You would instead wait it out and keep yourself alive for as long as possible. Let your team do their thing and you pick off anyone that gets near you. When the timer starts to run down to a minute or less start putting up Castle walls to lock out the objective. This works even better if you have a smoke on your team hanging out with you as if they somehow manage to get through blockade fast enough you can just have smoke block it up with his gas.

Castle is super good on plane. But he is pretty badly countered by Ash and often with grenade (sometime grenade doesn't blow up castle barricade, but don't count on it)

Put a barricade on cockpit (optional reinforce with an ADS and jammer inside the cockpit) and you can shoot the feet of anyone that tries to get in. Unless they are Ash, they probably need to find another way. (why you hide an ADS inside). Usually I reinforce the kitchen below and drop down if the enemy go that way.

Put a barricade in luggage, reinforce red room and good luck coming in without Ash or grenade. (and behind the castle barricade is....another castle barricade blocking the only door in).

Most important tip for Castle barricade, like most defensive gadget is you need someone to watch it and take advantage of it.

They are pretty decent to put on windows like Maps Office where you can shoot anyone trying to breach them from skybridge / the other building. On Oregon in the basement I usually castle off the construction site entrance and annex the concrete room. You can get 3 castle barricades in a row they have to get through if they insist on going through there.
