Or are you gonna tell me that you micromanage your op skins and matchmaking preferences to only enter the maps with perfect camo selected?

i like to use the green camos for the advanced Ding Chavez strat of not even going in the building at all until the timer hits :13s:



does not work with:


unless there is an indoor garden

in fact, if Ubisoft wants to be cool they are gonna have to at some point eventually revamp the starter edition anyway once we get closer to 100 operators. make Rook the demo F2P character.

or just let there be F2P accounts that can play Rook/Thatcher and que casual only or at least revamp recruits as F2P but instead of using vanilla CTUs make them cycle through various roles like "shield" or "breacher" or "anchor" and give them fixed loadouts designed for that job. as it stands they're already commonly being used for comedy options by experienced and the chances of a new player getting their first unlocked operator selected is only gonna get less and less

i mean, if they are really making most of their money from cosmetic microtransactions and season passes then this would be pretty awesome and i bet it would boost player activity better than random free weekends if you could just go up to any of your friends and be like

"hey wanna try this game with me the next time we're bored?"
"look at all the cool poo poo i can do that you can too if you spend 20 bucks or whatever."
"oh cool you have all this renown from playing F2P mode here's the stuff you can spend it on when you upgrade"

but really if you're one of the biggest publishers in the world you probably only care about immediate money because worst case scenario you can just pump out multiple sequels

It's lovely that they jacked the price of the game up tbqh. $40 was pretty fair given the inherent grind. $60 is dumb and it'll be a lot harder to convince new people to play because I'd feel like a real rear end in a top hat suggesting the starter edition.

I couldnt give two shits about the cosmetic stuff tho

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
All the new skins have made telling what operator is what at a glance way harder than it used to be, but the only ones I've ever had an issue with as genuine camo are the default uniforms for the spetsnaz. On minimum settings they blend into concrete really well.


Hiking up the game's price is bullshit, I dunno what the hell they're thinking with that. OTOH the level of outrage over the incredibly benign lootcrates is borderline funny.

so they're putting the $40 edition back in, thank gently caress. and giving everyone the Ash elite? odd

It's cool that they added the standard edition back. I don't know why they felt the need to give everyone a free skin though, the simplest thing to do would have just been to give everyone 10 loot boxes on the day S3 starts but whatever, cosmetics.

The reason people are or act outraged is because it’s a slippery slope and we know what the outcome of going meh/complacency is.

I bet my butthole virginity that the elite Ash skin in question was supposed to be a reward for some sort of outbreak event challenge, the same way Medallion Charms are.

it might come back next halloween but they'll probably just do a new set for new ops. the Ash zombie mask is very funny considering the new gamemode

or they'll black ice it and put it in alpha packs at some point if they bother to update them. the community has figured out everything thats in them now with charms being the best stuff you can get.

aside from a couple of cool ones, the legendaries are blatantly rushed and bad. whoever is in charge of item rarity in this game either has no idea what they're doing or doesn't give a poo poo because lol imagine if your job was to decide if this training dummy charm was to be rarer than this toilet paper roll.

idk what's stopping someone from actually taking an evening to sit down and revamp/polish the entire inventory of this game. the assets are all there. this is something Blizzard was always pretty good at keeping up with when they had thousands of items to add every year to their games.

anyway at the very least it'd be really cool if you could smelt old skins you don't want unto renown

Make Tachanka totally immune to headshots but every time he's shot in the head there's a really loud clanging noise and he gets the concussion effect for the full 7 seconds it used to be.

Pick anyone but Castle and go hog wild. Once you know what you're doing you can pick Castle.

castle was one of my first operators and it was fun and good because i was matched against players that had no idea how to counter him. you can literally pick anyone that interests you for whatever reason at all and do well with them if you care to or just run around and have fun.

start out by watching the in-game tutorial videos and doing the situations. this will give you extra renown to unlock stuff and a very simplistic idea of what they might be like in an actual game though the way their abilities play out is usually different for meta reasons.


the most basic things to remember are:

sound actually matters in this game and everything you do makes noise
claymores are used by attackers only
nitro/C4 is used by defender only
