I don't know. The other day I had one of those rounds where it was the last 30 seconds or so and I successfully put down a castle barricade on the entrance to the objective as someone was shooting at me. That was so satisfying when they had no options left to win.

Yo, me and a couple of my friends are thinking of getting into this but I gotta ask you guys a question: How playable is this game at relatively high ping? Our group is pretty spread out across the world so usually someone or another sits at 150 ping or so if we wanna play together. Would you say that's doable or should we just not even bother?

You will probably kick rear end because lag compensation in this game heavily favors high latency.

150 is doable, we often play with Americans on the EU server and vice versa. Only the Australian servers seem to be a headache for the rest of the world

one of the most dangerous weapons in an operator's loadout is the allchat key

well that and whoever thought it'd be a good idea to not only give the defenders a proper LMG, but also let you put an acog on it

One of the most satisfying things to do as maestro in my opinion is to use an evil eye camera placed to watch outer reinforced walls and just feck up hibana or thermite charges as they are placed

It's a great tactic on Oregon, but then you have to leave the stairs doors open. But man does it annoy people.

It's an internet game. There are a finite number of ways you can deal with information being received, reconciled, and sent back out to the sources at high speeds across the world. All things considered Siege's lag comp is exceptionally good. The alternate methods involve you dying moments after you duck behind cover, which is even more infuriating. At the end of the day its an internet game and there's going to be weird moments when you think you pulled something off but the game disagrees because you or they were lagging. No game involving the internet is immune to this dude, sorry.

Yeah, you'll be fine. Myself (Australian) and my fellow Aussie friends regularly play on the Australian R6 servers and clock in at anywhere between 30-300 ping! :v:
So yeah, this game is quite reasonable really, at high ping. Should be perfectly doable for you guys

I'm adding this thing to my stream where you can play sounds on my PC, including a phone vibrating super loud (Dokkabei hack) so I'm basically letting viewers grief me on Siege. I'm really excited about it.

What is there to whisper about finka? Press the button when you don't want any recoil, or you want to revive a teammate, or you need to push through barbed wire.

How to play Finka:
-Wait for two of your teammates to get downed by Caveira.
-Activate your ability from across the map.
-Imagine her making GBS threads her pants as you watch their outlines get back up and kill her.

The spear .308 isn’t an smg? Also echoing the finka shotgun wombo combo being rad as gently caress.

And the lmg is loving great, gently caress the spear.

lolwut?

but yeah, both the spear and V308 are fine if you're playing super srsly, it's just that they're so boring compared to the alternatives. her having the saiga/pmm stacked with nanobutts put her at Ela tier for shotgun players. the only other thing that can compare is the new tachanka 3speed saiga glitch

also if anyone cares about recoil reduction, all .308's are actually best with the muzzlebreak which is probably the most surprising thing to come out of that whole weapon attachment test thing. but finka's 308 basically doesn't have recoil even by default and the only way you can even notice it is if you are sniping with an acog from great distances.

it hits way harder than it sounds and you can rake prefires very easily with it

Flipswitch posted:

as others have said you can just press the button. her ability is even stronger in ranked because there is less downtime.

you can make the most of her fist squeeze if you have a good sense for predicting when poo poo is going to pop off. watch your teammates x-ray vision outlines and use map knowledge to the best of your ability. it's the same way people use dokkaebi's phone call so anyone that's spent time with her should already be doing this instinctively.

one of the biggest benefits of the boost that people often forget about in the middle of a fight is that it will immediately cancel Echo's disorientation effect. i've seen smart Finka players steamroll otherwise well setup yokai bottlenecks a lot this way. its arguably best to save it for stuff like this rather than a revive unless they are very far away and it's a potential interrogation level emergency. otherwise i'm pretty sure manually picking them up will give them more health when they are back on their feet and the rest of your team will have less downtime on their anti-recoil

her ability is loving stupid and an example of the laziest deadline rush we've seen in the game yet but its good for cyber adrenaline junkies since she can turn otherwise normal firefights into total Quakemode
