Did operation health kill rainbow 6 siege?

>>388142723
Poland died for this

>>388142723
Kill? I'm pretty sure it's playerbase keeps growing.

No.
Siege is more active, and fun, than ever.
>thanks operation health, thanks goobisoft
Let this meme die.

>>388143123
Actually first time I play R6S, and I must admit this game ohhmyfuckinggod fantastic. I cannot believe Ubisoft constantly fucking up technical side of this game. They could just get rid of Ping shit, make servers game deserve, get rid of some bugs, and voila, we have best FPS on field.

>>388143123
this
fuck off OP

>>388142723
I don't know about killed, but I haven't played it at all since the announcement. Did that quick match thing get added? Has anything actually been improved?

just got this and am loving it but damn the community is cancer most of the time, feel like I need some friends to play with

Yes. Queues are faster. Loads are quicker.
The final segment of Operation Health releases on September 5th; EVERY texture in the entire game will be redone for better streamlining and optimization, and all new servers (and hit detection) will be released as well. The three new ops, and a new map, release that day, as well.

I didn't love these maps but outright pulling them from rotation is not the answer.

>>388145141

have fun not being able to play for 2 weeks after this happens. Everytime they update this game it breaks for 2-3 weeks.

>>388145676
What? Why? When?

Any tips for a new player? Not sure what operators are the most beginner friendly.

>>388145676
Wait, what? Why the fuck did they remove some maps?

No, that's the first segment of Blood Orchid, retard.

>>388147450
Sledge, Rook, Ash and Mute are pretty good for beginners. Rook especially because your whole job is done in the first 5 seconds of the match. Sledge too because you can just bust through most walls without wasting a gadget or being a burden to your team if you die.

>>388145676
Favela is a shit map but yacht is one of my favorites
kinda bummed

>>388145676

>ubisoft removing maps because they're hitting the "upper limit" of data

If you check your install directory it's not even over 40gb. That's SMALL for a game in 2017 fucking hell.

>>388142723
>>388143123
This. The player base came back after they were finished. Shame those idiots will eat that garbage up.

Removing Favela permanently, which is implied, would be retarded. It's got a great fucking layout it's just the fact the entire map is made of paper that causes it to be a problem, just make a bunch of the walls solid, there you go it's fixed.

>>388147825
You have shit taste.

>>388147732
Educate yourself.

>>388147450
On attack, try Thatcher or Ash if there is no Thermite or Hibana. As Thatcher your job will be to shadow Thermite/Hibana, and make sure they can open the walls that they want to open. Ash meanwhile has a great toolkit that's easy to play with

On defense, go Rook/Doc. As Rook, the moment the round starts, place your armor bag down, and you've done your job for the round. As Doc, you need to keep track of how teammates are doing, but you should be close to the objective either way

Regarding tips, this game is all abound sound. Everything in this game makes a sound. Walking, proning, leaning, going on cameras, even ADS. Get your headphones on and learn to listen for sound cues, and remember that the sound is similar to real life, so you have to judge carefully. If you do this, I absolutely guarantee you no matter how shit your aim is, you will be more valuable than half the playerbase

>>388142723
No. Matchmaking was unplayable garbage before the update. I already uninstalled the game twice before health fixed it.

>>388145676
They need reworks, its fine
>>388147363
This one should have been there too

and House

>>388147938
Even if half the walls were solid, that 2F/3F bombsite and really, anything on 3F, would still be an absolute deathwish to defend against a competent team unless you're hyperagressive in runouts

>>388147964
You're the one who can't read and is sucking Ubi dick.

>>388147938
nah its a garbage map
they needed to get rid of it
everyone gets disappointed when that map gets picked

>>388148118
>They need reworks, its fine
They said they're considering removing maps permanently from the game, if you think Favela and Yacht aren't the most likely you're an idiot.

>>388148210
If garbage maps should be gotten rid of why is University still in?

Yacht is definitely impossible to make work without making a brand new map, but Favela could just have a rework.

>>388147538
Wow, that is horrible

>>388147987
>>388147791
Thanks guys, now all I need to do is look up load outs. Probably going to buy the game, is it a good idea to buy the gold edition or complete package? or should i just get the standard game

>>388148475
I agree.

Who /hopingforkapkanbuff/ here?

I used to hate all Spetsnaz ops, but ever since Fuze ordered supersized pucks and Glaz got his scope reworked I've been loving them on attack. I want to have a usable Spetsnaz operator on defense that isn't a fucking meme pick dammit

>>388148686
Que?

>>388148565
Buy the regular version. All on-release ops can be unlocked with absolutely no hassle, since the introductory situations and videos shower you in renown.

All the post-launch ops are 25k renown, which isn't a bad grind at all. But if you buy the game, and end up liking it, then you should go and buy the season passes(Y1 and Y2) to unlock the plaethora of post-launch ops

>>388148686
They should at least make him 1 armor/3 speed operator. It's retarded that someone whose ability depends on fast movement during the preparation phase is so damn slow.

>>388148686
Kapkan isn't getting fixed, he's being replaced.

Frost maps aren't electronic, can be placed anywhere.
Ela's mines have multiple hits(?) she's fast and she gets to use one on whoever downs her.
Lesion gets invisible mines that disorient and damage as well as causes the operator to make themselves vulnerable to manually remove the needle, that he can see at all times so he knows when one goes off or is destroyed and gets more and more over time.

Kapkan is dead.

>>388148919
The game and gold/complete packages are 40% off right now, which I think costs less than buying the season passes individually

>>388148806
Not sure how you manage it. Unless I'm trapping just the objective, then by the time I finish the whole preparation it's already a bit in the round, and I either have to thunder thigh my way to a hiding spot or go back to jack off in the objective

>>388148956
2/2 would honestly be better, 1/3 is a bit much

The new textures / remade servers launches on the first day of Blood Orchid, or, if you choose to see it that way, the last day of Operation Health.

>>388149181
Then it's probably worth biting the bullet and getting it.

Although if >>388148565 does buy it, stay off the unlocked ops, at least until you have a decent understanding of how the game works. They're not the easiest to use, and tend to be important in their roles

>>388143780
The technical stuff behind siege is so bad though. Ubisoft would rather dump their money into their other single player IPs than get better servers/net code or even a bigger development team to help fix the problems with their multiplayer games.

I stopped playing. I was right there with the game up until operation health, the fact that they would fuck over their players with such a half-assed attempt at improving their game was personally insulting. I believed that they were "improving" the game but now I see they are just spiraling harder to keep the money coming in for as long as possible.

>>388148686
all Spetsnaz ops are trash
Glaz shoots pixie dust, combined with the terrible Hitreg right now hes worthless except on Plane
Fuze is so slow by the time he gets to the objective, all 2-3 speed Ops are already in, rendering his pucks useless.
Kapkan lasers are seen by anyone not blind
Tachanka is a joke.
Fuck Spetsnaz

>>388149594
In their defense, one of their community managers said that most op health stuff was meant to be only released at the very end, which we're approaching. However, they miscommunicated it horribly, hence why it seems like they did fucking nothing besides a hitbox and MM rework

They apparently have an asston of fixes lined up for the new season, so fingers crossed. If it's literally nothing, then you're completely right

>>388149865
I haven't been playing as long as others, only since Red Crow, but i'm hoping they fix alot of shit. I truly love this game and it'd be a shame to see so much work and potential be squandered.

You're not alone, if only Ubisoft released new content while "working" on OpHealth the burnout wouldn't be so bad, for myself at least

What? The game grown pretty much constantly since release.

Keep in mind it used to have like ~8000 players online at a time when it launched, now it's anywhere from 30,000-45,000.

It's #12 in current players on steam right now. When it hits its daily peak of around 45,000 it gets to #8 or #9.

>>388152238
Operation Alpha Packs

>>388152458
Also according to Xbox, it's the second-most popular game on xbox one right now. Second only to GTAV, which it was beating for a short period a month ago.

>>388145676
favela can get thrown in the fucken dumpster

>>388148919
>25k renown, which isn't a bad grind at all

Yeah it is, unless you consider getting 1 new operator a month not a bad grind

>removing yacht and favela from casual matchmaking because there's too many maps for new players to learn
are you fucking serious? if they want to learn the maps they can boot up a custom game and learn them. or, you know, play the fucking game and learn by trial and error like everyone else did.

does ubisoft really think having 15 maps instead of 17 maps will suddenly make the game much easier for new players? fuck off. on that note:

>not removing university
There's nothing wrong with Yacht. I can see why people don't like Favela(personally I love it) but why Yacht? And why not University? Bartlett U. is a fucking horrible map, both to attack and defend. I would be fine with them removing this and reworking it.

>removing map preferences
I mean it's not like it worked in the first place but it's a stupid idea, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to play certain maps.

I don't like this news.

>>388153185
>needing a whole month to get 25k renown

it takes 2 weeks you scrub

>>388151347
>had a good time, and now I have zero desire to play anymore. I
I got sick of the game after 50 hours, I would never imagine putting 1000 into this shit pile.

>>388142723
No, Ubisoft is slowly but surely killing it.

>Still no new servers, Even if* new servers launch on the very last day of op health they will only increase the tick rate from 50 to 60.
>They think the increase of 10 tick rate will completely fix hit reg issues, desync issues, instant vaulting animation issues etc.
>you can STILL change your server manually and give yourself massive ping advantage in both ranked and casual.
>high ping is actually an advantage for most situations and can be abused by game mechanics.
>talking about game mechanics it's all the game revolves around now which is abusing peekers advantage and rocking 3 speed ops. don't believe me? Try watching/playing diamond games.
>camera perspective is a fucking joke, middle of the chest camera causes unrealistic angles to be seen/missed and makes the game seem even more unrealistic.
>Ranked is STILL in beta and uses a chess ranking system for a team based game.
>Operators are not balanced, Even with such a low amount of operators Ubi can't balance shit and they want 100 ops?
>instead of fixing the game during op health WE GOT LOOT BOXES (which nobody fucking asked for but gotta feed that cash cow)

I'm sure there is more but you aren't gonna read this and i'm already bored.
on the plus side ubi Did fix match making times and making the voice server side fixed those issues.

>Still no proper match making in both casual and ranked.

Also having <50k active players(on pc) for a game that costs $30 is pretty funny. It just goes to show that the game still has a TON of shit that needs to be fixed/addressed.

thank god the 'pro scene' is finally bitching about real shit because thats all ubi listens to.

>>388153354
25k renown isn't alot to a veteran of the game, but to a new player it is because they're still buying the original Ops and attachments.

>>388154724
original ops are easy you retard. it only costs 5k for an entire CTU(4 operators) which can be earned in one night if you do all the daily/weekly challenges, or 2 nights if not.

>casual will now mimic ranked playlists

i can't wait for the pro scene to die and kill this shit.
