on console I was copper last season & worked my way up from silver to gold this one, if you're not playing w/ a regular set of players & are decent its a real crapshoot but nbd because the lower your rank...the better you are

I keep going from having no kills in a round to 3 or 4. I think I need to work on my positioning more. I feel I'm almost ready for ranked.

u should just start playing Ranked as soon as u can once you've got basics down imo...ppl in Casual kinda already play like psychos so you'll have to relearn some stuff just 4 (in my experience) the different pace of Ranked
If any1 complains simply play DukeNukemBlowItOutYourAss.wav & you'll b efine

One of the first things I did with Alibi was make an intentionally rly obvious eye or gunlevel hole in a wall & then put the hologram behind it, then when they shoot it they'll get pinged & u can actually shoot them through somewhere else on the wall...lots of fun do recommend if u haven't tried it already

does Ubi need to pay for some sort of license to use the official name of certain weapons?

also the CZ-75 is one of my favorite pistols but in every videogame that has it uses a full-auto variant with that ugly foregrip thing
this article's old but still relevant but basically it's a symbiotic relationship bcuz its like - u know - product placement

I'd assume its the same with siege but who knows

Engendering a healthier community for the game will only have positive results for the game itself, there's nothing lost by ppl being unable to say variations on the N word in tactical shooter text chat. There's ways around everything but lol if u think forcing ppl to go to extreme efforts to say slurs won't decrease the amount of slurs overall (as mentioned...look @ the steam forums rn for proof of that)

i think the basic differences between skill levels can be broken down 2 a level where - if you really wanted to have a legitimate matchmaking service you could start tracking more variables in the background beyond the basic points stuff, u could even get real specifici with it like - "are they reacting/how quickly are they reacting to noise"/"how exposed do they leave themselves when holding angles/rounding corners" and so on and so on. but it will never ever happen because it would be an insane dump of development time & effort that's better put into just making the game better (and making money)

one of my fav things is telling a teammate I'll drone a room out for them when I see them about to breach. feels hella good when I drone a room out and tell them there's an enemy in a corner, and then ping it and they bust in and aimbot.exe the poo poo out of them.

drones in general, I distinctly remember the first time i thought to drone a situation b4 entering it & shot someone thru a window or something was rly the moment the game clicked for me. It's such a small thing that gives u such a huge advantage, especially when ur starting out & everybody's flailin
