In other cringy news, Ranked is finally coming out of beta in S2 after 3 and a half years:

https://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-sieges-revamped-ranked-mode-doesnt-address-its-worst-problems/

Still no match cancellations for an abandon during the op select phase or prep phase. Still no MMR adjustment for finishing a match with fewer players. Still no maximum limit on rank/ELO difference in a party. Still no low priority queue for repeated leavers. :cripes: At least we'll have pick/ban!

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Oh man, you all should've seen me in my first game after a year+ away from the game. I was hip firing like Rambo it was great. It was like that scene in The Raid with the refrigerator where Rama is just blind firing his pistol through the doorway until the clip is empty.

One of the reasons I'll never pass a certain skill threshold with Siege is that the Titanfall 2 hipfire instincts are branded onto my brain like a loving Caryll Rune.

I think you might be confusing it with another. I am only a ps4 player, but I think most of the TTS stuff gets added about a month or so before it launches for the rest of us.

Sandbox. The real gains are the friendships you make along the way.

So apparently you don't get the starting 20 ops anymore when you buy the game? After the 12th (of February) you get to pay the 500/1000/1500/2000 renown for operators from the base game.

Seems reasonable. I would've been fine doing that in the first place if it meant that everything else wasn't 25000 each :stare:

That's how it was when the game came out. I think you got to pick a couple for free and then they were 500/1000/1500/2000 respectively for your first through fourth operator from each country. If you played a solid weekend you could unlock everything fairly easily.

That's 25,000 altogether I guess, minus 1000 maybe for the first two being free? Can't remember exactly how it worked but it was that or something very close.

The Starter Edition had each operator cost 25000 even though you got two for free and enough cash to buy two more.

Yeah I'm just saying before they had the starter edition and the standard edition where all the original ops were free that's how it worked. Although DLC ops have always been 25k if you don't have the season pass.

it would probably be a huge problem to unlock operators if one of the 100 rainbow six operatives were somehow bad or not fun

Welp, got my first ace!

I was Bandit on Yacht and I surprised a lone dude with C4 at a side entrance, then took out 2 separtate parties of 2 on opposite ends. What a loving rush.

Its always funny when a team gets serious. Was playing with randoms and everyone was random dropping. First round we all die but pretty good fight but it becomes apparent the "top killer" on the other team was teabagging or something. Dickish behaviour at least.

Now i dont think much of it since im just doing placement like a plebe and dont care. Dudes on my team however suddenly become a well oiled gently caress you machine and just spend the next few rounds straight loving rolling the dudes. Top scorer on other team starts getting frustrated i guess as he tks a dude for being the last to die (guessing?) And in final round manages to down almost everyone as cavi.

However while hes doing his song and dance trying to down our top scorer who again has flipped a switch and has just been a bonafied killer. The defuser finishes and we win.

Dude was very mad. So mad he sent me, a person with the lowest score ( its been a bit and hey i got two kills), an angry hate mail so you knooooow the whole team got em.

I decided to spend real money on this game that I'm loving and bought the year 4 pass and also all the operators I didn't already have. Gotta say, I'm really enjoying Clash. It's more fun to play her in ways that aren't just stand around zappy zappy
