You see the other teams picks and have the option of repicking one operator, which won't be shown to the other team.

ALSO, Hereford rework.

EDIT: ALSO, Clubhouse rework.

Map rework ok but the pick system sounds super loving dumb. Half the fun of the prep phase is figuring the picks.

I am coming to hate flashes because 99% of the time the main use is some imbecile on my team flashing me. Like it isn't hard to say flash so I can at least look away.

Best is when you clear the room and are picking up the hostage, and your loving moron teammate flashes you from the window and the enemy kills you while you're blind

They should have those Gears of War style grenade trajectory lines that everybody on the team could see. Just have a transparent red line coming from the hand when it's a frag, and a transparent blue line when it's a flashbang. It would make aiming them a lot easier too, I'm supposed to be an elite operator, I should be able throw a grenade through a doorway or window from a few feet away quite consistently. I feel like a 90% success rate is a little low for an 8 foot toss.

Or how about a dot over their head when they've got a grenade primed. Just something more than a quick "Throwing grenade" quip that could have come from anybody on the team.

I got killed by my teammate yesterday because somebody walked in front of his grenade while he was throwing it and it bounced back at my feet. I feel like that could be prevented fairly simply.

And what should one do to be remembered?
Unlocks:

-All weapon attachments will now be automatically unlocked when you purchase an operator

-You will get all 20 standard ops with when you buy the STANDARD edition

Servers:

-2 new data centers in South Africa and south Europe

-Servers have been getting more stable throughout the last Year

Pick and ban and round flow:

-Ban Phase: Both teams ban 1 attacker and 1 defender

-You now play 5 attacking rounds, then a half time and then 5 defending rounds.

-Enemies can now see what OPs you pick, and apperently you can "fake" a pick

Maps:

-Hereford Base is completely reworked, will come back Season 3. More stairs, they want to make all OBJ viable picks and move the OBJ away from windows for more indoor firefights. Completely new Art Design.

-Yacht will come back as casual map

-Bomb is now their main gamemode to design maps around, maps in the future will be bigger

-Club house will get MAJOR reworks, there will be a new room on the roof between cash room and bedroom, bar will be sectorized with new walls and a bathroom and a stairway underneath garage. Will get implemented maybe Season 2.

-One map buff per Season.

eSports:

-New Roadmap: https://imgur.com/a/2idJu
-Pro League now 6 months.

-4 Dreamhack Minors

Eh, it makes sense if they are trying to build operators into countering each other. It'll be like DOTA2 or LoL where you have the choice to counter an enemy operator. See them pick Lion, and then you can pick Mute or poo poo like that. If it's only in Ranked then sounds good.

I have a notification that I have ... something ... new unlocked on an operator, but I have no idea what it is or who it's for and I can't clear this loving annoying yellow ping. Going to have to go through each operator and look at each of their guns.

They'll probably have it come back as a seasonal event every now and then. They're probably using the first run as a way to gather some metrics as well as create some artificial scarcity for the related cosmetics.

played a game where teammates kept shooting my mute jammers for no reason. I didn't say anything cause I kept figuring it was a mistake, but wow. I was also picking up rook armour (which he had put over a hatch) and some retard threw an impact grenade at my feet, which did 25 damage, destroyed the armour pack, and dropped me to the floor below.

pretty toxic teammates. I think it was this one dude who was salty cause he kept asking me where I was from and I didn't reply?? he'd also keep playing mira, blowing holes in the wall with his shotgun, and getting us all killed cause attackers would have about 6 different angles to snipe us from.

I would rather have smaller maps in the future, freaking themepark is too big for it's own good amd that's the kind of scale i expect when i hear about "bigger" maps.

How about smaller maps that don't have do many nooks and crannies for every new roamer operator to hide in

bigger maps is nice. roaming is lyfe.

but hostage is the best mode :colbert:

connecting the top floor of clubhouse is a great idea because as it stands the flanking jumpouts/peeks are just pretty ridiculous there.


this is cool because Hereford always had the vibe that it's been around forever but this building design and the Spitfires around it make it actually look like a weathered old building that has seen a lot of SAS practice since WWII which iirc is when they were formed.

this is loving retarded. part of the fun is hiding your ID until you get your first kill. huge nerf to trappers and recon players, maybe they actually want DPS to matter?

oh, well finally they are starting to differentiate between the pros and people that actually play the game. they're still probably only going to update operators sporadically which is fine because we can just continue to abuse every single game breaking glitch that exists for weeks/months to harvest tears of the highest salinity.

What is wrong with you?

I imagine bank size layouts when they say "bigger". IMO themepark is a bad example because of how long the map is. You could lop off half of haunted and it would be better and qualify as "big" in my eyes.

they have been actively updating the maps to prevent the really ridiculous ones.

how to fully eliminate spawn peeking from siege:

1) don't hold W at the start of a round and run straight to the most loving obvious place to get shot
2) use claymores properly
3) don't rely on claymores entirely

the level of detail on the exterior maps is absolutely in favor of the attackers and anyone experienced dying to peeks/jumpouts is either careless or lazy. if you actually play DMR and do overwatch you'll find an extensive amount of love went into the perimeter of every single building in the game.

edit: favela was just too crazy though i can see why it got removed because it might have been the easiest map to peek out of rat holes and get away with it just due to the sheer amount of poo poo going on in that tiny clusterfuck of a box surrounded by ghetto alleyways and rooftops. not surprisingly very conducive to caveira play :ese:

As a defender, shouldn't you basically always do like 90 damage to the hostage during prep so that it's more likely that a stray shot from an attacker will down them?

No because if they grab the hostage you want them to have full health when you spray them down in a maddened attempt to stop them from escaping

Don't you want the hostage downed even in that situation so that they can't be moved anymore and they drop to the ground giving you a clear shot against the guy that was escorting them?
