HerraS posted:they put favela back in rotation How's that a bad thing, though? (unless you draw the short straw and need to defend packing room...)  Have they made any changes to the map by the way, or is it exactly the same? I'm at work at present, so I can't check myself right now (sadly)

it's very much an established part of the meta, even at mid-silver/low-gold which is where the majority of players are so much so that ubi did more than just add an operator that specifically specializes in spawn peeking. they also removed the red filter from runouts because the maps are specifically designed for ways to counter almost every single location. the ones that were blatantly OP (like what you mentioned) have almost all be fixed or are enough of a gamble because of the time investment required to commit to them because of this, i have no sympathy for people that die to spawn peeks because they literally run right into them. it's one of the easiest things to avoid. also fights on the outskirts of the map can be pretty fun more often than not. it even becomes an absolute necessity for defending certain bomb sites.

They were pretty lovely back when there were a ton of them that were unavoidable but they've been designing and fixing the maps with peeking in mind for quite awhile now. It's definitely a fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me type of thing. If it's a big problem then bring Glaz.

peeking is bearable now, it used to be absolute dogshit but these days it's actually alright. also, if the opposing team shows itself to be peeking assholes, just prefire windows. amount of times I've just burst heads into red mist by prefiring windows without even knowing if anyone is there, it feels good.

It's really map dependant. On most of them it's fine, but then you have maps like Yacht which are just terrible in that regard.

Agoat posted:Did they change rifle recoil? I was get all sorts of headshots tonight. They fixed unintended deviation from bullets going where your reticle actually is to where it looks like it is. You should notice an increase in accuracy across all automatic weapons but I wouldn't begin to presume to say how much. At the very least you should have considerably less (maybe even none at all) instances where your reticle is on a head and you miss.

Probably the worst offender for spawn kills is the Bank back alley. Gunning outside behind the van allows you to fill the spawn area with lead, just before the icon visibility kicks in. Still, it's easy to counteract by moving immediately on spawn rather than staying in drone mode on round start.

Canal is peeker heaven, there are tons of windows and runout and the attacker have to expose themselves a lot to enter. I find it really hard to play against super agressive defending team in ranked, in casual you can just stay back and zap a couple defender but the tight ranked clock make that harder.

I lost 25 consecutive rounds last night. Really have come around to Ranked; if I had managed to convince my friends to do placement matches then I might have been down in Copper where I belong instead of eating my own teeth all night. I really like the new recoil changes though.

Always assume the other team is peeking. Prefire every regularly peek window, every time. Fast peek regularly peeked corners before moving up. Leave drones pointed at common peek spots. If you spawn bank alley always ADS and be ready for the closet runout. Yes some maps encourage it (Kanal and plane especially, but then again that's why they aren't in ranked) Play the game as if regular peeking and run-outs are a part of it. Becuase they are.

i'm actually very sincerely impressed by how Ubi handled spawn peeks because they catered as much as possible to the people that were legit crying about it without gutting it like  would. the reworks were entirely logical and actually improved the game overallthis extend to really good camping spots indoors too. every time you have a random chair or tree or whatever blocking your LoS it is almost always there for an actual reason. the best of all is when it is concealment, not cover

Siege's map design team has gotten really good. The new map is already awesome and I love it even though I get my poo poo pushed in on it because I don't really know what I'm doing (especially playing against all the TTSers who know strats already). Peeks are annoying but what's more annoying is when your teammate bumblefucks into them after you warned them to watch out. Especially at low-to-mid ranks it's really, really difficult to get people to watch their loving flanks.

well, you see, the rework is a perfect replica of the original novel so i would suggest starting there lol but forreal though, embrace that feeling because its one of the best parts of the game and you'll miss it once you find yourself cheesing 2 pixel wide peeks between random debris. characters like buck/sledge/iq are very good for exploring but holy poo poo now you can just play maverick and literally peek through tactical gloryholes until you find something interesting on the other side

The best spawn peek is putting your holograms behind busted windows and then immediately headshotting the first person to shoot one through an unbroken window or exterior wall.

Best way to learn the layout of a new map is to create a custom game by the yourself and set the round length to maximum (10 min?). Then just run around looking at how everything fits together. Since you don't have to worry about being ambushed you can direct your full attention to memorizing how to get around. After that it should be much easier to pick up on the more subtle things like peeking spots and good places to hide.
