Yeah I usually play a pointman role. And yeah some sights are relatively fine but I'm already used to iron sight aiming so I just stick to it.

tl;dr of this whole convo: I'm a weirdo and I like it that way.

The thing is that people go full retard at the mere sight of an Israeli flag. Easier to just avoid that whole mess.

In terms of racism though, I just got done playing the Rising Storm 2 beta and forgot how entrenched racism is in that whole franchise. I would like for Siege to remain as apolitical and racismless as possible. Clans having racist name gimmicks is already enough as it is.

Lately I've been having a lot of issues of crashing when trying to load into a level. I always had some sort of big hitch on first load in but it usually came out alright, now like half the time it just crashes out instead.

Hard pls.

Except Siege's network issues have gotten progressively worse from launch to now. It's really kind of astonishing because the game played like rear end in the early semi-public tests, then ran incredibly well at launch, and since then has just gotten worse and worse with reg, animation sync and various bugs that in a game like Siege make certain things basically impossible. If taking a working game and making it garbage has ever been done before so thoroughly, I'd be very surprised.

Funny because a lot of people feel the opposite in the grand scheme of things.

It goes back and forth, there's good patches and bad patches.

This glans update has been hands down the most frustrating thing to play against since the game came out.

Reminder that Blackbeard's shield used to have 300 hp or something insane. And that semi-automatic shotguns used to be best at long range OHKs.

The Glaz buff is super dumb and unnecessary, like the whole Pulse buff situation, but it's not the worst thing they've put out.

Yeah and Blackbeard can't see thermal vision people through smoke and tiny holes with a huge scope. Stop being dumb.

You were arguing that Glaz is the most frustrating part of this game since launch, when there was a time when Blackbeard could park himself on a window and have 800 hp to protect his head.

I can't even.

Jesus Christ.

Basticle argued that current Glaz is worse than old Blackbeard. He argued that you can just flank Blackbeard. You can out flank Blackbeard if he's inside, if he's outside he is much harder to flank. His argument that you can't out flank Glaz is because he's outside.

How is this so difficult to understand.

Ironically Glaz's buff seems to mostly help when he's pushing the objective, inside.

Speaking of, what attachments should I run on guns in general?

Also is there a strategy to using Sledge's hammer for maximum effeciency or should I just run around and DYNAMIC ENTRY my way into as many rooms as possible?

Jehde posted:

It comes down to personal preference and specific weapons, but a couple rules of thumb I follow:

All pistols get suppressors to take out gadgets more discretely, except shield operators get muzzle brakes or compensators since they're loud as hell anyways. Shields also get laser pointers for the same reason, otherwise yea don't bother with lasers.

Primaries I'll only single shot with (FAL, HK417, etc) get a muzzle brake, primaries I'll mostly be spraying with (LMGs, etc) get compensators, but most weapons I try to do control bursts with so they all get flash hiders.

Vertical foregrips are for babies that can't handle recoil, angled foregrip is always useful especially when going up against operators like Ash.

Any sort of sight attachment just fucks with your peripheral vision so I stick to iron sights, but ACOGs are especially bad since all they do is narrow your FOV and give you tunnel vision.

Every gun gets the most colourful skin available and the unicorn charm, or the chibi drumstick.

Although most people aren't comfortable with iron sights, so I'll let them chime in with whatever the latest and greatest is for reflex sights.

The best way to play sledge is to roleplay Jack Nicholson from The Shining.

So what's the gooncenus on Mira? She a cool cutie who I wanna play but I'm not exactly sure how to go about placing those wall mirrors but then again I'm not back home for another month so :v:

Mira is super situational, some spots she's good, some spots she's useless. I've had the best luck trying to find a spot where I can hunker down and use the mirrors to gain visual angles, while still having the freedom to shift that visual angle into a shoot-through-walls angle. Usually having a mirror directly in the objective pointing out is bad, they'll just pop it and use it against you.

An example: Say it's secure on House in kid's bedroom, I like to hunker down in construction, have a mirror looking over west stairwell and then a mirror overlooking the rest of the foyer/master bedroom+bathroom, both reinforced with no reinforcements around them so I can shoot around them. That way I can cover foyer stairs, master bedroom, bathroom, and west stairs.

The hardest part of playing Mira is yelling at teammates not to reinforce right beside your mirror.

It was a super lame cop out and 100% a waste of the name, contrary to what Hard said, but the map that came out of it was pretty alright so meh. Just wish it was called Penthouse or something to free up Skyscraper name for a real skyscraper map.

If I remember correctly there was a theme park in the Original Rainbow Six game and in the novel. It was set in an adventure style ride so think of something like Jurassic Park the ride. Lots of tight corridors and catwalks. Could be pretty rad.

There was also the World Park incident in Spain in the book. Basque separatists took hostage of a group of kids and held them inside a fake castle in the middle of the park.

I didn't even bother with the Frost challenge because I don't play video games anymore, because they're for nerds, but the obvious solution is to make it so that you get a recruit for DLC CTUs whenever you buy any operator from the CTU. That way it still incentivizes spending your clancybux on DLC operators, while allowing for DLC CTU challenges without them being a clusterfuck.
