so do yall prefer double defender/attacker, or new ops being split between attacker/defender

I'm fine with it as it stands now, but I'd prefer they go back to 1:1 releases. If they keep going 2:0 ones I would be less thrilled with it.

Even after purchasing the standard edition, 25k siegepoints is kind of an overkill for every new operator. Good thing I have all base operators but drat, the grind is real and with my limited time nowadays it'll take a month to unlock one. At least I'm finally getting this game and enjoying IQ and mute mainly.

IIRC the lead dev said that this is the last time they're doing 2 attack/2 defenders at once. Only reason that these are 2 defenders it to balance it out.

new villa good
new clubhouse good (but disorienting)

new ops fun to play AS and fun to play AGAINST which is really refreshing after yawn inducing lion/finka meta.

patch good.

You can also pay for season passes to get all that year's ops. They also release bundles for each year that unlocks 8 ops for the price of 4.

Grind is real tho

I'll wait for one of those bundles, thanks!

Is there any twitter or something to keep up with offers? I tend to miss deals like that.

Also, I shamelessly like Russian Badger videos even if they are memey, any other guy on youtube/twitch that is worth watching?

Year 1 and 2 bundles are already around if you're interested. Paying for season pass now unlocks all of this year's ops, adds a slight reknown booster effect that lasts until next year and some other stuff I guess. It's a good deal if you're really into the game and plan on playing for a long time.

The game has pretty good balance re: this as most integral ops are already included in the standard edition.

Villa is a really intuitive map, really easy to learn your way around. It's one of the best maps in a long time too, lots of flanks and sight lines with good cove and stuff. Top notch stuff.

Also lol Fuze is loving brutal now that he's faster. He's loving nuts.

Playing some more last night trying to learn the map (which is good yes) and my favorite thing was putting a Black mirror on the hidden tun tunnel and watching people come down it and then stop super fast.

Totally useless but funny

The ubisoft store has some stuff on sale now for E3. Standard edition for $20. Also Complete Edition with all 3 years of DLC for $64.99 which is great if you decided you like the game and tired of grinding.

A SomethingAwful classic. Peak joke in Duke Nukem Forever thread when someone photoshopped Duke behind her pic.
(sorry for the off topic)

BikiniBodhi's videos are fun when he's just loving around and suddenly loses it. Dude really enjoys the game.

I was talking in the discord when it happened. One minute the channels their. The next I see it disappear and can no longer join it.
Even heard someone said it was a bug or because of the phone verification and I'm sure its not.
