Yeah, the random hitching even on good pcs is annoying as hell. Got 16 gigs of RAM and an I7 and a 1070 yet at least once a match it'll hitch for half a second.

I've been having this issue a lot myself (i5 2500k, 24gb ram, 1070) and I found the only way to make it go away was to cap my framerate to 60fps. If I turn off vsync it'll be fine and then start stuttering and poo poo. It's worth a shot.

Spain: World Park (From the book.)
Hong Kong: Hospital (Hard Boiled)
Israel: Olympic Stadium (Munich 1972)
South Korea: Shopping Mall (Early prediction and fits the locale.)

I agree with this, mostly. I'm really hoping that the Spanish map is World Park as I love the R6 novel, but I'm sure it'll wind up being something else, much like my shattered hopes of the Brazil map being the eco-terrorist base/hideout in the amazon rainforest (which I knew at the time was a pipe-dream and that it would be favelas, but I can always hope).
It might wind up being the Barcelona Olympic Stadium (seeing as Israel doesn't seem like it's coming, now) instead, or perhaps a freight ship like someone else mentioned, I think.

Not 100% about South Korea's though, either - and I think Hong Kong also has a high chance of having an actual skyscraper as its map.

I've found that one tactic is to identify the aforementioned overly-aggressive player on your team, then follow/shadow them (slightly farther back of course, so you don't get killed in the same burst!) during the assault on the objective, then just kill the people who attack the aggressive player. :v: Don't worry about whether they live or die, just take out everyone who attacks the decoy player, then just break off and perform your own plan, when things inevitably go south for your aggressive decoy!

Issue with Hong Kong having an actual skyscraper is the skyscraper name is already taken now, albeit wasted. I suppose they could use another name like tower or something, but it sounds like they've scrapped that idea early on, presuambly due to balance issues. Similarly I doubt we'll get another ship level. Still haven't figured out what Poland could be, the stadium prediction could still work, I think poles like their soccer quite a bit.

How about one side/half of a few floors on a skyscraper and a large crane next to it, then? :D So that the attackers can get across via the top of the crane, or via a zipline gadget(tm) added into another update, preceding this level.

And yeah, I know we probably won't see another ship level, in reality. I just want another plane-like level dangit, like if it was a two-floor fishing vessel/tug or something (like a large Somali pirate 'mothership', where it's all really tight/close quarters like on plane) :(

Not sure about Poland either, though. I remember a WW2 period terror incident at a fairly major railway station, so it could be something like that, if we're going by past famous/semi-famous incidents? Otherwise I'm not sure...heh, maybe even at a large bookstore that's hosting a Witcher book signing? (OK maybe not that last one!)

I am hopeful that someday there will be an operator that uses that gun you can shoot around corners from cover. It seems like it would fit right in in Rainbow Six.

As much as I like Siege in spite of the exquisite efforts of the development team to convince me of the opposite, hardly any multiplayer-only FPS has ever been as polished and as accessible to new players as Overwatch. However, both best multiplayer and best esports game categories are fairly stacked, so I wouldn't predict more than Siege not taking the multiplayer award.

Actually Overwatch is a noted Bad Game, as is its biggest competitor for the award, Battlefield 1. It's not an award for the best game, it's an award for the most popular game, same as any award really.
