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.

I usually get teamkilled if I pick castle so idk about that

That's retarded.
Even if you manage to put the dumbest possible Castle barricades that gently caress your team over, your teammates can just easily remove them.

Change your settings so that the only thing you have selected is 'Hostage Extraction'. Then suffer through a loving assload of lovely Article 9 anyways despite that. gently caress Bartlett U and it's it lame yellow disarm mission, it ruins T-hunt.

Which is a shame too because hostage extraction terrorist hunt missions are a fun change of pace. You feel pretty badass when you pull it off.

But unfortunately 25% of all the missions are dumb-gently caress Bartlett Article 9.

That reminds me, what the gently caress is the point of Article 9 anyway? Clearly the loving bombs went off and ground up mustard seed is EVERYWHERE. Like oh no, two more stupid bombs might go off in a place that is super inundated. Better send in the worlds best operators, a day late and a dollar short. Next up we disable a rat trap at the site of a mass shooting.

It exists to curse anyone who wants to just play terrorist hunt. Everytime those bombs go off its added two more times to the queue.

Also i had luck pulling people together and doing a defense TH on plane to get the realistic achievement

EDIT:
I like that the TV in the situation room on plane shows an aerial map of the town in Outbreak. I did wonder about that when I saw it a while back and now its a neat detail.

btw the easiest way to win those hardmode Thunts is to bring someone with a claymore and set like literally 20 up around where you're gonna defuse. if you do it right you will only have to fire your gun once or twice to kill the random lemming that makes it through

unrelated but if you're ever playing plane this is likely among the best jump out locations in the entire game:

I dunno if there's something in the water but my friends and I have had the absolute worst luck with shithead teamkillers and trolls in ranked. Like 4 games in the last two nights had dudes running around as doc purposefully wounding everyone to 8hp or so but never killing so they wouldn't be kicked, then giving enemy team callouts on our locs all game long. Why the gently caress can't you votekick people in ranked? Also you can't just leave the game because you get a leaver penalty and can't played ranked for like 30 mins. They really should do something about how much one person can ruin a ranked game.

Silencers are good to use in t-hunt?! That's a surprise.

Would also be probably be the best way to do it, since the literal aimbots you can deal with but as soon as you kill a few it seems like they just all rush you

quote:

Biological and chemical attacks are growing threats to Operators. Six created the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Threat Unit. CBRN is its own distinct CTU. The following two experts know what they’re doing and they’ll never turn their backs on a hotzone. These two new operators are joining the multiplayer roster and will also be playable in the limited time Outbreak event, along with other legacy operators.

One operator hails from France and uses a drone to maintain quarantine perimeters. Their service record is astounding, but their list of regrets seems endless.

The other operator moved to Russia to pursue their studies and they uncovered a range of applications for self-dissolving nanobots. All allies can benefit from the research carried out by this CBRN Specialist.

So it's a new fake CTU, with two ops from France and Russia, and traditionally, one is female: https://www.instagram.com/p/BelNORennL5/

My guess it's another defender drone, maybe automatic, and the other one gets dissolvable floors.

The gun used by the woman with the rad haircut on the left appears to be a F2000, so that's presumably the french operator. Which might also mean she's an attacker, since she's got a full-sized assault rifle and all.

Why would she presumably be the French operator? The leaked image above has the smg dude with a French flag. The f2000 is a Belgian gimmick so of course I am obliged to main her now.

I figured mostly because the French military likes using FN stuff. But yeah, the French flag on the dude is probably a better indicator. :v:

Allegedly she was based on a figurine of some sort. Which is why we won't ever be getting blonde Ela like in the leaks because it looked too similar to the source material.

Hey all, just wondering if any of you have recommendations for recording/replay software, like Shadowplay? (Preferably one that's not draining on system resources, and can also be configured to run automatically when starting games)

Since yeah, although it's been a great tool in the past, I've been struggling with getting Shadowplay to work after a recent update as it keeps turning the 'record last #min' functionality off randomly while I'm ingame, then often disables the ingame Shadowplay overlay entirely, which doesn't allow me to record anything until I restart the game again. (And even then, it's unlikely to work long enough for me to get into a match...)
I've tried reinstalling Shadowplay and my NVidia drivers, however this hasn't had any kind of lasting effect, unfortunately. (And worse yet, I've had some really good moments since returning to the game recently, that I wouldn't have minded recording! Oh well)


Also,

if that's what you want to call roughly 99% of deviantart fan fiction templates then sure

from character design to gameplay, there is no loving way Ela was ever anything other than a calculated and precise parody of all the things that trigger spergs:
  • leaked bleached blonde hair changed to green
  • angsty kitsch artist
  • daddy issues
  • authority issues
  • tactical spandex
  • blatantly OP powercreep'd SMG at launch
  • x4 Gzmots that are the single most concealable trap in the game
  • 3 speed silenced semi-auto shotgun
  • red dot on pistol, except it's green because at the time she was a unique snowflake
  • supposedly designed intentionally to be able to fight multiple op4 at once
  • delayed then released as the only operator from her CTU
  • the other one is revealed to be her sister and is exactly the opposite in the funniest ways possible
  • is the first CTU in the game to be female only
  • all nerfs are considered insults to honorable cyber athletes that spend their entire min wage paychecks living inside this game

if any of us worked at Ubisoft and our boss sat us down and said "your job is to specifically create the most rage inducing character imaginable but is also cool and good" it'd be really hard to come up with anything better than this. they probably had an entire team for this because it is too perfect. dev dollars well spent imo

still waiting on that black lesbian muslim operator though... preferably FBI
