stop taking the position of peeking people in face to face shootouts so we can stop discussing arbitrary differences in dps

memorizing damage falloff at various intervals of distance is about as interesting useful it'll ever gets

Ok, what do I do as a shield guy, now that my shield has been knocked away by an op4 melee?

What's the best counter there?

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Melee them before they melee you
Failing that turn about 45 degres to the right and your knocked out shield will be facing op4

if you like playing shield operators its good to have a vague idea of where your shield is during various animations.

there is certainly a PUBG frying pan element of randomization to this but it can occasionally save your life.

one of the funniest things i've seen in this game is a downed monte turn their mouse sensitivity up and spin around so fast that he was just a blur of pixels and when we shot at him the bullets sparked off his shield. haven't seen this happen in a while and idk if thy fixed this by limiting movement speed when downed but i hope they didn't because its hilarious

Turn to the right and hug a wall so your shield keeps facing them and they can't quickly go around you. The window for murdering you is like 2 seconds and part of that they still have the animation of the knife attack and possibly aiming down sights, so you have a reasonable chance of only taking a bit of damage from stray bullets rather than getting executed like a dog. Then prepare to melee them back or back off depending on the risk of another defender covering them.

She is trying to find a new treatment while keeping it a secret, but Doc knows and is closely monitoring her CMT in case it begins to affect her performance. She has not shared this with anyone else, not Kapkan who is her no-nonsense mentor, and not Tachanka with whom she drinks and flirts.

Lera has recently taken to creating a wall of letters and photos in her workspace, a reminder that her treatments are more than just about helping herself. But she’s still afraid that this might get ahead of her.

Doc thinks he lacks the empathy necessary to help in medical crises while Lion thinks Doc’s humanitarianism is a liability. Twitch is not happy about being caught in the middle of that fight. Lion’s closest friend in GIGN is Montagne, but when Thatcher punched Olivier after he said the wrong thing during a training exercise, Lion almost brought the GIGN and SAS to blows.

Olivier spends most of his social time at Church volunteering when he can, or at his apartment reading and staying out of trouble while listening to the angry albums of his teenage years.

So coming back from a very long break of not playing, apparently there are 10,000 new operators to unlock.

From Year 1 I do not have Frost + Bope & S.A.T unlocked, and I have nothing from Year 2 unlocked.

I have enough to unlock one operator, who should it be????

Assuming you have all the base operators already...

If you want to be an Anchor, grab Mira or Lesion

If you want to counter roamers on attack, grab Jackal

Hibana is also very useful almost all the time, since she can blow up reinforced walls

Because


A.People flip their poo poo in youtube videos analyzing every last detail given to try and figure out what ability/gadget they might have based on a paragraph or so of info.

B. Giving more info facilitates fan art, which gives the game more attention in the artsy/tumblr type spaces that might not play an FPS to begin with

C. It probably proved very popular to link Ela and Zophia together both in backstory and with in game mechanics so perhaps they are trying that bit again.


Although i do get where you're coming from. At this point Rainbow Six is turning from an elite squad of the best operators from every CTU in the world to a drat fraternity. Remember just back in Season 3 when the most info Mira got was that she's good at fixing things and she gave Tachanka the shield on his gun? Now everybody knows everybody and is a comrade/teacher/flirty work friend.

kapkan's elite skin mvp animation is some tactical knife fighting stuff

he was training the new operator and accidentally cut her face like this

she beat the poo poo out of him breaking bones in his face and ribs or something

this is literally canon but at least we know the devs played Final Fantasy 8

it'd be funny if years from now the game is littered with sibling rivalry bonuses except its every dumb flavor text of characters getting shipped

Ying's weapons are legit my most favorite in the game, they both reload so fast and the shotgun is a dude destroyer. I have no idea how to use her candelas but I'm certain I know how to shoot dude. Flash mom is my fav attacker second only to Bucc.

You can do that dance where you turn 90 degrees. Like the shield goes up and to the left so you turn to the right and it blocks again.

Not that I am good enough to master this, I just seen it on the youtubes.

EDIT: I guess that was covered already. I'm tired.

I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow and then play with all the free weekend noobs and smurf accounts.

so remember Ubisoft updated their ToS that said racism was a permanent ban offense? is there a specific email I can send ingame screenshots to, to get a particularly toxic person banned?

spent the entire game spouting racism and trying to tilt us all. we won in the end 5-4, but it was trash. "lol i've been toxic for a year and ubi doesn't care". would be nice to get him permabanned, cause yikes. I'm pretty happy with the win, though. it was 2v1 and I clutched it.

Why the gently caress doesn't the game let everyone chat mute people, that's the real question.
This whole obnoxious-kids-spouting-slurs thing would've been easily solved if I could just mute them in text chat.

Then I wouldn't even care if they banned those kids or not. They can keep shouting into the ether as much as they want for all I care, as long as I don't have to see it.
