i'm sure they'll change it at some point. or they won't and this is an advanced French marketing strat (see: Nissan) to get people to even look at uPlay

also lol, the author is clearly a carebear writing filler content for their website. god forbid they have an actual audience to pander to.

i started playing siege well after launch and monetization/UI aside the tl;dr of this game is pick literally any operator you want and you'll be fine for casual play.

at its core it is a shooter. you can main anyone while clicking on the bad guys. there are even multiple operators for this barebones style of gameplay. if stepping on a frost trap makes your head spin by the overwhelming complexity of the Clancyverse then there are countless other FPS alternatives that have bulleted lists on their steam store page so can quickly deduce if it is the right cartoon videogame for you.

pretty sure ubisoft doesn't give a poo poo because word of mouth is likely selling this game more than a commercial featuring Idris Elba

people like it since the overall update because it is less bad than it was. really all the shotguns are just good enough to care about bringing at least 1 with you unless you are running buck/sledge. and even then sledge with a shotgun is fun as heck because you can practically demolish the map

i play shotguns a lot even though bothering to aim a rifle is generally objectively better in every way that isn't a breach hole and that is mostly due to ammo consumption

fun loadouts:

ela silenced semi auto w/grzmots is the #1 roaming ambush spec in game (sorry kapkan mains)

smoke/thatcher/doc shotguns will let you use your ability through walls and ceilings you normally couldn't

if bandit is taken, recruit gsg shotgun = 3 speed AND nitro

mira/jackal have optional double shotguns which is extremely lol when it works

also the saiga forever owns if you bother to creep around with it like anton chigurh

I never cared about Assassin's Creed as I burned out after the second installment, but people seem to be really enjoying the latest one?

same, but they gave me a free copy of 3 and 4 so i guess that's something to try the next time siege servers are down

the first FarCry game was awesome until you went into that bunker and there were like literally giant mutant zombie monkey monster things with rocket launchers. but then FarCry 3 was everything i wanted from a tropical island rambo simulator and then some. burning the weed fields to Skrillex might be one of the funniest things i've ever seen in a videogame - magically etching vapid tribal bro tats directly into your forearm as you level up and descend into the heart of darkness

also idk about the rest of the Splinter Cell series but Chaos Theory was extremely my poo poo

i think a big thing that keeps me from diving into most ubisoft games is that they fall heavily into the "run to the 💎 on your HUD" gameplay which is boring but they put a lot of great work into their aesthetics

anyway, Siege is good even if they want to be dumb about sporadic patching and wasting dev resources on single player bullshit that we will all play a few times then ignore completely. idc so long as i get to roam new maps until im lost as quirky characters whose abilities i'll never fully master

pay 2 grief items own and the operators they listed are all fun as heck so lol when you see that Tachanka running at you like the suicide bombers in t-hunt 5 months from now except he has a Saiga and you have to at some point look at him on the MVP screen ever at all.

Or are you gonna tell me that you micromanage your op skins and matchmaking preferences to only enter the maps with perfect camo selected?

i like to use the green camos for the advanced Ding Chavez strat of not even going in the building at all until the timer hits :13s:



does not work with:


unless there is an indoor garden

in fact, if Ubisoft wants to be cool they are gonna have to at some point eventually revamp the starter edition anyway once we get closer to 100 operators. make Rook the demo F2P character.

or just let there be F2P accounts that can play Rook/Thatcher and que casual only or at least revamp recruits as F2P but instead of using vanilla CTUs make them cycle through various roles like "shield" or "breacher" or "anchor" and give them fixed loadouts designed for that job. as it stands they're already commonly being used for comedy options by experienced and the chances of a new player getting their first unlocked operator selected is only gonna get less and less

i mean, if they are really making most of their money from cosmetic microtransactions and season passes then this would be pretty awesome and i bet it would boost player activity better than random free weekends if you could just go up to any of your friends and be like

"hey wanna try this game with me the next time we're bored?"
"look at all the cool poo poo i can do that you can too if you spend 20 bucks or whatever."
"oh cool you have all this renown from playing F2P mode here's the stuff you can spend it on when you upgrade"

but really if you're one of the biggest publishers in the world you probably only care about immediate money because worst case scenario you can just pump out multiple sequels

it might come back next halloween but they'll probably just do a new set for new ops. the Ash zombie mask is very funny considering the new gamemode

or they'll black ice it and put it in alpha packs at some point if they bother to update them. the community has figured out everything thats in them now with charms being the best stuff you can get.

aside from a couple of cool ones, the legendaries are blatantly rushed and bad. whoever is in charge of item rarity in this game either has no idea what they're doing or doesn't give a poo poo because lol imagine if your job was to decide if this training dummy charm was to be rarer than this toilet paper roll.

idk what's stopping someone from actually taking an evening to sit down and revamp/polish the entire inventory of this game. the assets are all there. this is something Blizzard was always pretty good at keeping up with when they had thousands of items to add every year to their games.

castle was one of my first operators and it was fun and good because i was matched against players that had no idea how to counter him. you can literally pick anyone that interests you for whatever reason at all and do well with them if you care to or just run around and have fun.

start out by watching the in-game tutorial videos and doing the situations. this will give you extra renown to unlock stuff and a very simplistic idea of what they might be like in an actual game though the way their abilities play out is usually different for meta reasons.


the most basic things to remember are:

sound actually matters in this game and everything you do makes noise
claymores are used by attackers only
nitro/C4 is used by defender only

btw the easiest way to win those hardmode Thunts is to bring someone with a claymore and set like literally 20 up around where you're gonna defuse. if you do it right you will only have to fire your gun once or twice to kill the random lemming that makes it through

unrelated but if you're ever playing plane this is likely among the best jump out locations in the entire game:

Wasn't Ela based on a female executive's cosplay or something?

if that's what you want to call roughly 99% of deviantart fan fiction templates then sure

from character design to gameplay, there is no loving way Ela was ever anything other than a calculated and precise parody of all the things that trigger spergs:
  • leaked bleached blonde hair changed to green
  • angsty kitsch artist
  • daddy issues
  • authority issues
  • tactical spandex
  • blatantly OP powercreep'd SMG at launch
  • x4 Gzmots that are the single most concealable trap in the game
  • 3 speed silenced semi-auto shotgun
  • red dot on pistol, except it's green because at the time she was a unique snowflake
  • supposedly designed intentionally to be able to fight multiple op4 at once
  • delayed then released as the only operator from her CTU
  • the other one is revealed to be her sister and is exactly the opposite in the funniest ways possible
  • is the first CTU in the game to be female only
  • all nerfs are considered insults to honorable cyber athletes that spend their entire min wage paychecks living inside this game

if any of us worked at Ubisoft and our boss sat us down and said "your job is to specifically create the most rage inducing character imaginable but is also cool and good" it'd be really hard to come up with anything better than this. they probably had an entire team for this because it is too perfect. dev dollars well spent imo

that's basically Sledge but ubisoft likes to mirror abilities and it'd be kinda cool to see a defender that functions much like a living impact grenade though i think they'd be used to grief their own team more than mira meanies

now that Dokk finally brought a sound ability into the game i want to play an operator that uses sound devices to misdirect the attackers second guessing themselves.

the leaked raid healer looks fun even if the nanotech stuff is dumb. abilities that don't do direct damage would be for the best imo otherwise we're just gonna end up with more trap siege and bullshit like Zofia's grenade launcher which seemed rushed and probably should have instead been used as a way to rework Ash like they did Kapkan.

i'd rather have seen them go more in-depth with the self-revive/resilience aspect to her since her default weapons are already amazing. she is the most uninspired filler character in the game and as is she mostly serves as the icing on the cake to everything that makes nerds hate Ela's design.

make an offensive rook style operator that simply brings extra ammo instead of armor so LMG users can just hammer a specific angle until the timer runs out or they get flanked. pistols only to counter all the extra spamming their teammates will be doing letting you alternate or dual wield them with shield accuracy ftw
