Hostage makes for the best gameplay moments, stats be damned. I don't give a drat if 60% of the time the defends win because that's Stinkin' Thinkin' and you've already psyched yourself out. I want to rappel through a window and yank some helpless fool back out of it with me. Or go out in a blaze of glory trying to prevent that.

Container mode is boring in comparison. They should change the model of the container to be a hostage tied to a chair.

Only if it's an office chair and you can roll it around as mobile cover to make the enemy hesitate shooting at you

One of my best friends is copper 4 because reasons. He is acually better than me but whatever his mmr means we are playing with children.

Game on the line 1 v 1.

Our one surviving 12 year old is panicking what do I do? What do I do? "Hold this angle" we tell him, everytime he starts to move or look away we shout "no, hold the angle".

The one remaining attacker slow peaks like, glacial drift slow and we both scream "FIRE!!!!!!"

Headshot, we win.

This game is so stupid and I love it.

Silencers on guns if you think you can reliably nail headshots with their recoil pattern, because the lowered damage doesn't matter then.

Some guns such as frost's smg and blackbeard's guns still own even with a silencer and I run them with silencer always

Honestly the reason to use silencers is 90% swag and 10% they have a nice recoil pattern on some guns. since they're free you should slap them on every gun to get a feel for them on a per-operator basis and swap back if you don't like them

I think they are changing silencer damage tomorrow? If so any advice is redundant.

:420::420::420::420::420::420::420::420::420::420::420:
the stealth meta owns in this game and silencers are noticeably effective against teams full of random players that are too lazy or incompetent to communicate and callout your position

but people that want to win through straight up pew pew peeks tend to just use a flash hider for short burst insta-kills. DMR users tend to default to the muzzlebreak. attacking face to face with a silencer will put you at a disadvantage against an equally skilled oppenent so it is essential to embrace :jihad: tactics

the lowered damage when suppressed can be noticeable (especially at long range) but pretty much every gun in the game will kill someone in 1-3 hits so its largely personal preference and the type of fighting you want to do. the map can make a big difference too.

delta is right about headshots but i personally think that silencers are also a good way to compensate for bad "potato" aim. the way i've always looked at it is that if your aim is excellent you are going to connect those first few bullets from your flash hider burst for an insta-kill anyway.

if you miss, this will give the opportunity for the enemy to counterattack. suppressors not only make it harder to hear where the gunshot is coming from but it also reduces the tracer effect. this can seriously give you the extra split second you need to adjust your fire or disengage completey - possibly without them even realizing what happened or where you attacked this from. if you are a roaming ambusher this is big deal.

you can still absolutely do hit and run harassment tactics using the other attachments btw. the cool thing about siege is how insanely flexible it is. in 99% of situations there will be more than one way to approach and its what keeps me coming back after countless hours

I really appreciate when you go to set the third charge and then stop and re orient so the charge throws along the lower rooms door to wall. I was like I know exactly what they are doing here and I love it.

...my brain flipflopped upside down mixing up similar terms like Speed and Armor.

Good thing too because lately I've been p aggravated by Ash. Feels like you're at a real disadvantage no matter what with her ability movement speed combined with pre-nerf Ela level gun with ACOG. I think for the first time I saw someone who habitually moved back and forth leaning constantly while playing as her and kicking tremendous amounts of rear end. It's like she's constantly dodging bullets.

Macie Jay is really good, and he espouses the most sucessful strats i've ever used: patience and calm. He's also a kinda goofy, weird looking guy with a strange voice. Kixstar is a former pro league guy who doesn't post many vids but holy poo poo he is godlike. Most of his content is pre jager losing his acog though. Serenity17 is also really good but I don't think he's posted anything for ages either.
