Bought the Standard edition on PS4 yesterday and ended up playing 4 hours with two friends who also just bought it.

My very first impression was terrible - due to the PS4 having this "play once the first chunk is downloaded" system, I first had access to just the very first Situation and the 30 FPS in that felt baaad, especially after having just played a ton of BLOPS4. Just super weird that the Situations have 30 FPS (unless you disable vsync, which makes it all work great)

Playing actual multiplayer with friends was great! Was surprised at the amount of maps in the game, I think we got lucky and didn't have any repeats during the time we played - though it also meant every first round was a whole bunch of "I have no idea where to go or where the enemies might come from"

Also I got a 30 minute ban at one point since I (accidentally!) managed to kill one of my buddies twice in the same match. Wish there was a vote option in those cases, especially when it's literally somebody in your party...

And what's up with people sometimes killing teammates at the start of a round? Saw it happen a few times. Some accidental damage I can understand, even though it sucks - justified by everybody trying to kill those drones.

Already kinda bummed I didn't splurge for the complete edition, I think we'll be playing quite a bit more.

For attackers it is usually a teammate running in front of a person about to take out an outside cam or bust a window.

Nice one. I've only aced 4 times in the year I've played Siege for - and two of those four times were because the other team got stupid and pushed one by one in a 1 vs 5 situation and turned what should've been a 5 vs 1 gunfight into 5 1 vs 1 gunfights. I mean, I was lucky enough to have a nutty gun to help me clutch that out (Twitch's FAMAS F2 in one case and Smoke's SMG-11 pre-nerf in the other), but no gun is going to help you kill 3 people all shooting at you at once.

It's usually that. People think they have you bang to rights and file outside one by one.

His rifle is one of if not the best in the game. His PDW is okay to great depending on your playstyle, and the shotgun is ehhh. The shorty shotgun is the strongest shotgun in the game at 1 meter but it also has the sharpest damage falloff so it sucks rear end past like 2.5 meters. It's worth bringing for its utility alone though as you can use it to make kill holes or break dropdowns and whatnot.

I swear by Jackal and the PDW, but if you're a tryhard, rifle is fine.

Jackal's shotgun is satisfying to fire but not good to actually use, especially considering how much better the other two guns are.

For advanced uses, you can blow a hole in the floor or ceiling to scan footprints. Have to go prone to get them on a floor below which makes it more dangerous. Certain drone holes can also reveal footprints.

Never run around with his visor on either. If you get shot your vision goes fucky. Turn it on for a quick check, then back off.

This. The shotgun is extremely useful for opening new killholes around the map.
It's also good as a 'last resort' weapon, for when your AR is out of ammo and a defender is charging at your position. Much more useful than the pistol, in that regard.

GMT +1 (spain). I've played a few times with some goons but time zones are a bitch since there are only a few of EU PS4 goons out there so is mostly me pulling late nights with NA players.

Hostage is just fundamentally broken. You shoot the hostage 3 times with most defender SMGs and they're basically almost dead. A bad spray, or even a misthrown flashbang can down them (If you've used Bandit/Cav), which really cuts the timer down for the other team.

Obviously, it also means you can down the hostage quite easily as well, so you definitely shouldn't be using them as cover.

Cav's pistol does 99 damage at that range so she got lucky and hit you twice in the hand. Her pistol is kind of bullshit tbh. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it needs nerfed/redesigned but it can definitely be frustrating to go up against.
