I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

I guess she woke up late and didn't have time to coordinate a sweater with her pink sneakers.

Just had a very satisfying game against an rear end in a top hat tryhard Ela main in Casual. He had 12 kills at the end of the game. The next highest fragger on his team had 2; everyone else had 1 or 0.

Meanwhile, going into round 5, I had 6 kills, my partner had 9, and everyone else on our team had none. Zero. After four rounds, three people had no kills or assists. And we still hauled their asses into overtime.

Ela opened up the round by peeking our spawn and killing 2. While she was busy dicking around on the other side of the map, I broke in from the tower, killed the idiot sitting on the stairs, and then mowed down the guy who was sitting in the slit window bridge. Someone up in the rafters of the tower started taking shots at us, and I turned around and chucked a Ying grenade up there and climbed the ladder as it was going off, then murdered him.

Our Ash finally got their first kill dropping into the objective room, and then killed the Ela as she finally rotated back into the objective after everyone on her team was dead.

He was one of 3 people on the enemy team who had some kind of clan tag, too. It was incredibly satisfying to steal that win from him with our 9-9-2-0-0 scoreboard. It was basically 2v5 for 4 rounds. I hope he raged at his dipshit clanner teammates. After so many lovely matches tonight, that one felt good.

So there are two things that appear to be unmentioned but they are present on the TTS.
First is that all operator icons had a visual overhaul, making them higher contrast. A good change and it makes the CTUs more distinct from one another.


The second is that now when opening skins, the recruit icon is there as well, so maybe recruits are getting attachments this year.

Other than Ubisoft and Blizzard stuff, most other games don't use that business model so this whole "games are not games anymore :supaburn:" thing is pretty loving dumb.

Alternatively, subscription based MMOs existed since the dawn of time.

I liked when I bought a game as a product and played it. The service economy is garbage.

Also, when I boot up the TTS build I can't connect to the servers. Just me?

The game is practically a sequel to release day Siege anyways with the amount of Ops and maps added now, plus the ongoing changes to existing maps. At least this way we keep all our digital swag.

The only use for a Siege 2 would be to fix underlying limitations in the engine that they can't fix with incremental patches, and Siege isn't bursting at the seams yet. :regd08:

Playing TTS last night I noticed that the graphics have changed and...gotten better somehow? I think I have the high res texture pack installed for the TTS (I don't on live, but it seemed to install it by default on the TTS), but shadows look better, everything seems "crisper", and most importantly, I get better FPS. All my settings appear to be the same as on live so I'm not sure what's going on but I really like it.

using this as proof is pretty weak, to be honest. most of those guys you ran into had no idea what to do and died like absolute scrubs. they'd either attack you head on, sit there and take a flash to the face, or spray bullets at you. games I play, if I tried to use your playstyle, I'd get assblasted so hard. they'll either back off and shoot my legs out, or they'll do that really horrible WASD sonic the hedgehog move whilst knifing me to poo poo down my neck.

Unless you've been bullshitting about your jaunts in ELO hell, that's exactly the tiers you can get away with running around doing dumb things with a shield. That said, the juxtaposition of those posts and this one did give me a good laugh.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
Assuming he doesn't get toned down, Blitz is going to be cool with the Pick and Ban system, because if you let him through you have a plan for dealing with him. Which means your opponent might not pick him, which means you might not have a plan for dealing with him. I love that kind of nonsense.

It's a real shame the pick and ban system is only for pro league and thus the 99.99999999% other players will have to deal with 2 speed Blitz for the next three months.

my experience with Blitz in Gold 4 / 3 has been punishing at best, absolute obliteration at worst. The minute people see me as a shield op, they keep their distance, take pot shots at my limbs, and wait to flank. If I'm by myself, it's guaranteed I'll have someone loop round to flank me whilst someone else keeps me preoccupied. Worst is when speed 1 operators just zerg rush me and knife me even if I'm looking at them, kill cam will show them already at my back. If I try to ADS as they rush, they just instantly spray and pop my head open.

Genuinely couldn't have done the stuff that guy posted in his clips. The window one especially, they wouldn't have all just lined up hopping in the window after the first guy went down. They'd either hop in and prefire, or just come in from a different angle.

My ELO hell is real. Got to Gold 2 a few days back, currently deranking all the way to Silver 1. Feels, loving, bad.

I am thankful for your (as in the general playerbase's) bad experiences as they allow me to continue picking shield ops uncontested. They honestly used to be really quite bad and useless but the hitbox changes have gone a long way in making them playable. I haven't been shot through my shield like it's paper mache in ages.

There is also nothing in this world that comes close to being as sweet as when I wreck some dudes on Blitz and next round they bring their own Blitz in and I wreck him too

"We have been investigating the reports about Blitz’s speed change, and we have found a data error that made him faster than initially intended. There is a mobility modifier for all shields that reduces the operator speed, and this was not active for Blitz at the launch of the Test Server. This will be fixed. His base speed will still be from a 2-speed operator, but his shield will bring a reduction to that speed. This reduction in speed will be live on the Test Servers as soon as we can confirm the fix; target is tomorrow."

Lol here comes the reactionary back pedalling. Ubi fire your game balance guy plz.

Edit: To be clear, I never said such. I pointed out the first clip was a bad example due to it being plane and the guys taking turns pushing you one at a time.

I've also been arguing the whole time that the change to Blitz doesn't make any sense as he was fairly balanced as he was, makes him over powered now, breaks the whole shield meta, and serves as a knee jerk reaction like a lot of meta changes have been lately. Ubi couldn't balance their way out of a wet paper bag if you gave them Hibana charges.

It really is more likely that someone just forgot to change the Mobility modifier on his shield.

I'm pretty sure you can even check it for yourself and see if Blitz's shield has a 50 Mobility on his shield on TTS or not.
