i'm pretty sure finka is my highest K:D of all operators even though all i do is get juiced on blood magic and run towards the nearest firefight

the way siege has handled healers so far has been pretty good even though i wish her ability was a bit more than just a blanket raid buff that you press and forget. the low projectile speed on doc's stims is perfect though :sweatdrop:

I don't know if is my horrible taste (and I'm an awful player) but the first time I used Finka, used the LMG and just ran sinde the cap zone shooting, killing mute, injuring lesion and of course getting killed by a Kapkan trap (after of course step on Lesion's needle). Dumb fun.

I use her AR now, but the LMG is a ton of fun. The one thing I have trouble remembering is that her ability can pick up injured teammates, which can win a round

Super extra bonus points if you get boosted as Cav is checking her six and shoot the bitch.
She then starts spamming allchat "HOW DID YOU GET UP?!!"

I'm patiently waiting for the cool 25k renown unlike some posters.

Also Ubi has been super cool with my avatar ban on Anchor.Baby. They're working on getting the ban lifted. Turns out you can't have a picture of a baby as your avatar, even if it's pasted on top of an operator. Overall pretty cool Siegemas.

So, what's the difference between the standard and complete edition?

The starter edition is still poo poo as well, right? It's been over 200 pages so I thought i'd double check.

Complete edition comes with the year 1-3 DLC operators unlocked, standard doesn't.

Starter edition is still a scam.

You won't know wtf is happening until you've played like 25 hours, and even then you'll have a lot to learn. Just don't reinforce between bomb sites and you'll be fine

The single greatest feeling in Siege is getting three "enemy stepped into frost trap" notifications in under 10 seconds, with one of them being defuser carrier. Suddenly a round that seemed to be lost early was instead won for free essentially.

Sorry to say it, but the situations won't help much! :v: Good for free renown, though.

I'd probably also recommend giving t-hunt a go (when you don't feel like playing casual) at some stage though, since it does help with basic map knowledge.

Had a ranked match last night where it came down to a 1 on 1. Their’s was Blitz. He was trying to dance around with our guy but I had tossed down so many gu mines he ended up stepping on 3 in under 2 seconds and bled out into injured. It was a hilarious ending.

I'm picking this up again after a year off and oh boy there were a bunch of changes. I have 20k renown and I'm going to try and pick up the remaining Y1 ops before the sale ends. Buck, Valk, Cap, and Echo are the ones I don't have, sorted in the order I want to get them.

The next operators are called Mozzie and Gridlock. Australian ops.

Gridlock is an attacker and he puts down a red web tracker that when defenders runs into it they get damaged and it makes noise

Mozzie is defender and she puts down a device that when the enemy drones go into it, she can take control of it and use them

also he told me season 2 will have the map Kanal reworked.

Eh, if this is real I'm not convinced about the value of Mazza and Gazza's gadgets; especially the drone thing. (Unless you're lucky enough to scan a Twitch drone, I guess) Could be handy, but to me it seems like it's nothing compared to Maestro and Alibi, for instance.

Is it just me or is Fortress a way better "this map is close quarters" map than new Hereford is? Fortress is a very narrow map and a little maze like but even with the short time i was playing on it i never got lost to the degree that i have with new Hereford.

Fortress is more elongated. Hereford is still pretty much just a square, which is easier to get lost in because you don't have one direction to use as a reference point.

mozzie is a perfect name for the drone hijacker because that is going to be one of the best harassment tactics in the game
