I, frankly, want this smug Jagen to be my avatar on all forms of social media immediately.
I've got a group of two other people who want to pick this up on sale, mostly for the PvE stuff like Terrorist Hunt or the Co-op campaign.

How much of this game is playable/viable for a group of three?

This is a terrible idea. The co-op is not only very short but is also going away after this month, and Terrorist Hunt is not very interesting.
Like, I suppose you can feeling like megatactical dudes if you play on the higher difficulties but there's better games for that.

Go get, like, Vermintide2 or For The King or something.

There is no coop campaign unless you mean outbreak which is going to be over in a week.

Dead weight, just like this post.



I'm gonna be sad when outbreak leaves since it's so much better a way to warm up before multiplayer than T-hunt is. Since at least on console, T-hunt on normal has aim assist while Outbreak does not and doing one map is long enough that it would be about as much time as 2 or 3 T-hunt levels would be anyway.

Set sail for massive disapointment in the PvE regard, it is almost an afterthought. You guys probably want wildlands, while buggy as poo poo is a decent buddy tactical shooter in regards to PvE. PvP Siege is excellent.

In my personal experience it's extremely rare.
I played Siege for something like 200-ish hours and only seen one blatant hacker (wasn't even in Ranked) and maybe half a dozen or so cases of bugs seriously impacting the gameplay.

I don't think I've come across a blatant hacker yet after like 500 hours on PC. Definitely the odd bug here or there, but the memorable ones were all pre-Operation Health

Yeah. The hacker that I met spawnpeeked us and then basically did the McCree ult on our whole team with a Doc pistol from across the map.
Then he left.
That's the only hacker I ever saw.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
you see more hackers if you are Actually Good at the game and get to high elo, especially early in the season, since a lot of the time the hacker is being paid to carry some shitters to diamond so they can have their charms.

it's pretty amusing to watch pro streamers play against a hacker every once in a while. incredible that people can manage to out play and triumph against people using teleporting grenades/c4 and 100% accurate headshot pistols on shield ops.

We had one guy last night who felt wallhacky, could have just been exceedingly good but after the third casual shooting through barricade windows without vision into heads, you start to get suspect.

(and I mean transparently weird, not regular suspect shooting or when there’s noise. This was no-smash plinking pre-them reaching the barricade, not when they were at it.)

Ironically Tachanka is probably the best anti-hacker operator because your faceshield gives you a few precious seconds to dome them.

The special ability will be monitoring the voice chat and instantly kicking anyone who says anything mean about the opposing team.

I jumped back into this game after over a year away from it. (Frost is still bae and I finally got my platinum trophy) I have a couple questions/observations. It feels like intentional team killing is rampant on PS4 in casual..feels like it happens every other round. Also I ran into a situation twice so far where someone on the other team has become invisible with the exception of a floating gun. They seem nearly invincible too. Is this a glitch on Ubisoft's end or is this done intentionally by the player? Outbreak seems cool but repetitive..are there any plans to add this permanently? Could be a really cool addition if they flesh the idea out a bit more.

It's a deliberate glitch related to elite skins. The patch for consoles is being held up by the cert process- Ubi has been messaging about it like mad on their twitter.

Hacking is extremely rare since thanks to BattlEye (note: battleye actually works in this game as opposed to PUBG's half rear end implementation of it) so hacking is pretty much done by hack creators who want to test on a working BE game client and the people willing a lot of money for access to their tests. I want to say I've seen maybe half a dozen people that could definitely be called as hacking in the year and a half since then.

But in ranked I can't play my favourite vehicle-based maps, plane and yacht. That's pretty much the only reason I don't play only ranked, I like the bit of extra map (and objective room) variety.

Yeah, that's the main thing holding me back from playing ranked, too. I just cannot pass up on the possibility of playing Plane; it's straight-up the best map, even if it can be a bit of a Glaz-fest at times.
