How do I stop being loving garbage at this garbage game?

I have a great time with it, but I'd rather not be the first guy getting murdered every round. I wear my headset and call out enemy positions, I don't mark with the cameras, I try to put my gadgets in non-obvious spots, all that poo poo.

Possibly related, is there something I'm doing wrong when it comes to Kapkan traps? It seems like whenever I try to deploy one on a window, I get the prompt in brief flashes. I have to sort of wiggle around the thing I want to trap and hope that I can get the prompt to stick around, and odds are by the time I've got the trap placed, the set-up time is over.

I will try to enter the building from another spot than my team (like I run around the entire map to get away from the spawn) and wait for fighting to break out. Without fail Everytime I pick the exact window or room someone is watching. It's maddening.

This is my problem, I think. I've been taught by other games that flanking is super valuable, and then Siege is beating me up for it every time.

Fair enough! That's counter to what Hard has told us in the past though which is why I said that.

To be fair, the frequency with which I get matched against plats does kind of make this hard to read with a straight face.

Thanks for the advice guys. I didn't feel like I was doing much different for the most part, though at times I caught myself making mistakes and correcting myself. I got the round winning kill once. It felt sweet.

Then the game crashed, which has never happened to me before. It was during the transition to the operator select after a round. Maybe I'm being too optimistic about what I can do with a 1070? I have ultra textures on, most everything else maxed, with shadows a step below. It's using a bit over 4000 GB of video memory, I have 8 total.

Whats the definition of "too" in "too much time"

Well, me and some other guys had a real good bonding session over the 4 minutes we spent bullshitting waiting for one last guy to join. We had planned to wait for 6 minutes but at 4 someone bailed.

I imagine poo poo was just hosed up in that instance, because it'd be real weird if "too much time" was longer than that.

Clown masks on the other hand...

They intimidate the opposing force (supposedly). It's the logic used with the Army of Two ballistic masks, anyways. I don't think there's a whole lot intimidating about some mask with tribal poo poo all over it myself, nor a clown with big teeth, but what do I know?

I just played a game where our Castle had a passion for trapping us in as small of a space as possible, and with the exception of the person playing Rook and myself, nobody took armor. In most other multiplayer titles, this kind of experience would make me stop for the evening. For whatever reason, Siege keeps me compelled to keep playing. I'm only hurting myself more but it hurts so good.

Hey, you worked on my favorite game ever. Thanks for that.

I'd been having alright luck with pubs, but it seems like that luck has run out. It's gone from goofing around between rounds and everyone getting along to the typical FPS fare of calling people names and bitching whenever they die.

Is the info in the OP still accurate insofar as getting in games with other goons? I'm probably going to go that route tonight or tomorrow.

On the subject of early Siege...

Back in Alpha, the teams had names other than Orange and Blue. Attackers were Rogue Spear, and Defenders were Raven Shield. I think this was still around in the Beta testing.

The pro meta adapting to the ops changes is always an incredible thing to witness.

fakeedit: Slowly starting to update the OP with the new info on Y2S1.

I get that watching the pro meta change is rad as heck, but there's also the regular-rear end players like myself. I'm not great at the game by any means, but I'm getting better every day. One of the things that I liked about Capitao was he had multiple means of forcing the enemy out of a space, both the poison gas and the frag. The frags were useful when a direct line of sight wasn't possible, and the poison was great when it was.

Now, that's not really possible.

Thermite losing the frags seems somewhat more sensical. He's about getting the team where they need to be, opening paths and sightlines. A frag isn't doing that, it's wounding the other team or forcing them to move.

Thief posted:

seriously?

one of the main reasons i even play this game is because it actually respects shotguns and lets you run around with the benelli like you're in John Wick 2

Same. I actually was asked to stop using the shotgun by another player because I was killing him every round as Smoke.
I probably would have if he had actually phrased it as a request and not as "sdoots pls" and "sdoots no shotgun pls' but such is life.

Two nights ago I had the weirdest match of this so far. Myself and my pal got in a game on whatever the map is that IQ's situation takes place on (Oregon?).
The round begins, and pretty quickly someone calls out "they have three shields". I figure he means Blitz, Montagne, and Fuze.

He had his count wrong. They had five shields, and they were all recruits.

We had plenty of nitro cells and a Smoke, so they went down pretty fast, but it was still one of the dumbest things I'd seen in Siege. The next round, we figured they'd pick some obnoxious composition as well, and sure enough, they met our expectations with flying colors. They had a Bandit, a Jager, a Mute, a Echo, and a Tachanka. It was a perfect storm of poo poo that'd get on your nerves as an attacker.

This was how the match played out. They'd use some weird gimmick one round, then an obnoxious one the next. They lost, but it wasn't a very fun game either way.

Nickname Pending posted:

Is Fuze's LMG pretty viable? I actually have yet to use it, choosing his AK or shield instead. I figured it would be inaccurate or heavy on recoil. But I have recently watched some killcams of Fuze destroying me with it, so should I switch?

This game does a real good job of making the LMGs feel like LMGs, and not just slightly different rifles. Make sure to take advantage of that. If you think someone is coming your way, start shooting. Don't stop. Maybe stop for a little bit to make them think you are reloading, and then start again. I don't know man, you've got a fuckton of bullets and lots of recoil control. Share the love.

My newest problem is that I'm doing loving terrible in just about every match I play lately. I went from consistently improving and sometimes pulling off some cool poo poo (Throwing nitro through a drop in the ceiling an attacker opened, detonating in midair for the kill), to getting 1 or 2 kills the entire match and being the first one to die every round.

It seems like the operator I'm able to reliably perform well with at the moment is Fuze, with his machine gun. With that in mind, do you all have any suggestions? Does Capitao work alright when you give him his machine gun?

Aside from the hit reg issues the only thing I'd like changed on blitz is the ability to sprint with the shield in front of him instead of dropping it to the side. It would give him something Montagne and Fuze don't have.

We were defending on House, they had one guy left. Time was low. Someone calls out that the last guy is outside at banisters.

Three people in a row go outside to try to murder him. They all die horribly. Myself and the other guy at the objective are left. Time gets down to 30 seconds, and then the push comes. With 16 seconds left, my buddy dies and I'm alone. I peek to try and take this guy out, and get shot in the head.

Apparently I'm the rear end in a top hat in this situation, and not the three people who could have sat in the objective and not died horribly.

Used a Capitao incendiary bolt on the default barricade thinking it'd burn it down from a distance. Not sure why, that seems like the kind of thing people'd be doing a lot if it could be done.

Point is, now I really wish I could do that. Open up an entryway from a distance like Buck, much less ammunition to do it with, sacrifice some of your offensive potential, and gives Capitao more utility. It'd also give Castle another reason to get picked. Big metal barricade isn't going to burn down.

The peeking thing honestly isn't the issue you are making it out to be. I was really frustrated by it as well, but once I got it drilled into my brain that defenders are going to always try to have the most advantageous angle possible, it became less of a problem. I remember to use my drone to scout potential deathtraps now rather than poke my own head out. I prefire (fire my gun as I peek out) to cover myself if I know an enemy is watching the angle. Most of the time, I simply try to get a different angle. Flanking is your friend, and you've got numerous tools to get it done.

Having played this game so long it's easy to forget the amount of stuff we take for granted in terms of map knowledge and objective play. You'll get better, but I imagine the learning curve right now is pretty massive.

I can kind of speak to this, since I'm starting to reach the point where I know some maps, or at least feel comfortable on some more than others.

Moreso than with any other shooter I've played, I simply needed to invest time into the game to get comfortable with it. There's so many variables with the maps with the walls and drops that even once you learn the basic layout, you still have to learn what can be done to the map via destruction and reinforcement.

Studying R6maps.com also helped tremendously. Clicking on the map and switching floors lets you track where you clicked, so you can see where drops lead. It's super helpful.

Gordon Freeman is voiced better than most Siege videos.

Doesn't change the part where Half Life 2 is more of a tech demo than a game.

I'm starting to use Castle more now that I've got a better understanding of the maps. It seems like generally he can be beneficial so long as you are putting his barricades up where attackers reliably enter from, rather than doorways and such inside the building itself. There's a spot in the offices on Border with a single window in the back, and having that fortified an extra step has been nice for delaying flanks or just alerting us to an enemy without putting us in the danger a wooden barricade does.
