Redpill me on this game. Is it no longer complete broken shit?

bump for interest

>>389620538
Its still a broken shitfest

>>389620538
I like it.
It's not broken if you just do the right thing (Well, except when you get Fuze'd). But since you'll die a lot at first, you will probably think it's broken.
I think the game is fun with friends

>>389621708
and if you don't have friends, is it impossible to build a team effort?

>>389620538
It's great

They're turning it into a autism twitch shooter in a few patches though

>>389620538

>>389621846

No it isn't.

>>389621785
No, the PC community is at least very team based and tons of people have their mics on in this game for call outs and constant team work.

Reasons?

>>389621785
It's somewhat hard. From my experience, close to nobody uses the microphone.
If you want to make timed dramatic entries, you must play with someone communicating through voice.

But the lack of oral communication doesn't stop you from killing others and working for your team. People tend to work together naturally. Except Jaegers and Bandits. Fuck them.

>From my experience, close to nobody uses the microphone.

Incorrect. All it takes is saying "hello" when you first join a match to get everyone talking.

>>389621708
>getting fuze'd
they no longer bounce 200 meters and its loud as fuck if its on a window, easy kill if not at least denying it. If hes fuzing above that's what you get for not holding a destructible ceiling, its debatable better for a fuze dropping 3 loads from the top compared to a buck or sledge opening it up and making nowheresafe

OP here I have played since season 2 but ended up putting it down because of poor connections, really angry team members in general, and what seemed like a lack of interest in teamwork. The operators are awesome and the game itself is a lot of fun, but the growing meta of the whole thing and grind became too much for me to care about.

>>389620538
not a fan of the new operators desu, I have to look out for 5 different types of traps now and those poison fucker traps are nearly impossible to fucking see

of shit really? maps were taken out? Sounds like nothing was fixed why are so many talking about how the game is "good now"?

>>389622810
They took the maps where you could easily spawn peak I think. They are being fixed and will be added back in later.

>>389622298

If you really don't want to deal with that shit just play thatcher, EMP a wall for therm/hibana and then just EMP entrance to the objective you are going to take.
>>389622295
>is it longer complete broken shit
>I dropped it because of the shit teammates
good or bad teammates are just luck, granted from what I've experienced the EU servers are way worse on average.
Servers were improved, I never had a problem with them but apparently its better now, also hitreg is a bit better but that doesn't mean you have to still predict at close ranges with a shield.
Its never not going to be broken shit but its less broken and unbalanced its been for a while. The reason alot of people still play it is because there no other game like it and they enjoy it enough to deal with the shit. If you don't like it enough then you just don't like it.

>>389622810
Just read the latest patch notes

>>389622635
>>unbalanced operators
Some are considered better, but I've been able to top leader boards with every single one. They're all different, just need to learn them properly, some are easier to learn.
>>shit servers
They're legitimately fin.
>>horrible lag compensation
Never had to deal with this.
>>peekers advantage is probably the worst I've ever seen
Never had a problem with this.
>>3 speed operators are op and since armor hardly matters they are the go-to pick
Armor makes sense, but some people are different speed to balance out their abilities, like Fuze.
>>constantly ran into a glitch where people would be flat vertical blocks and were effectively invisible when looked at
Don't think this is a problem anymore
>>no region lock for multiplayer
Don't know about this one
>>guns shoot like absolute garbage
They feel fine to me, some are even great.
>>weapon sights somehow change bullet spread
I don't believe this is a thing, maybe I'm wrong.
>>some maps are so shit and poorly optimized that ubisoft decided to just remove them from the game
They didn't remove Favella for that reason. They had to remove it because consoles only allow a certain amount of space for a game to be able to use for updates, and since the maps are free, they had to remove the least favorite to add one of their best ones yet.
>I could go on.
The game does have problems, but a lot are addressed or come down to personal preference.

>>389623046

most of the initial operators are male and every season after that released with one female and one male defender

also, the only woman made to look hot is ela, the rest of them look like legitimate soldiers

fake news copper iv butthurt fag

>>389622810
casual had 2 maps removed and ranked had even more. Ones removed from casual are being reworked (and also some stuff about reaching their data cap) and ranked has a smaller map pool because its only the better balanced maps. essentially making it so in ranked you don't deal with maps that were generally one sided so the side that got either attackers or defenders more often has an advantage.

If you play on SEA/EAS you're fine without friends. People generally cooperate here. Most of the east asians who play this game actually know how to speak English. SEA is full of indians and southeast asians and they can all speak English.

I did have trouble with the servers but ever since I started using LAN, I haven't disconnected once or anything. I think they're fine. I've definitely seen worse.

It takes place in a fantasy world, with terrorism rampant and such, with operators using signature gadgets and stuff. I've learned to just accept it's especially because most of them are really only there BECAUSE of their gadgets in the lore.

>>389623447

>tfw the game literally doesn't start for me
I think this is the first and the only steam game I've had that kind of problem in. Since the game is installed manually it's hard for me to fuck things up, so I blame Ubishit.

>>389623717
>still no female marines in real life yet
Really made me think

Why do they keep adding in ops that can do the same thing other ops do only slightly different?

Fucking thermite and hibana can do the same thing only hibana is objectively better
Flash grenade bitch is basically a non lethal Fuze, what's the point
Lesion and Ela also do the same thing, they have traps that slow you down

When are we gonna get something really different, like an operator that can fuck with the lighting? Or have like decoy grenades? Or maybe a gun that can shoot around corners?

Stop spreading blatant lies. Hibana is good for precise wall destruction from distance, while Thermite produces a really big fucking hole to expose enemies though he has to get close. They do same thing, in a different way to suit different situations.

>>389623985
csgo is for fucking autists

Hibana can make really big fucking holes too, just combine the fucking charges

There is nothing Thermite can do than Hibana can't, what is the point?

>>389623985
I bet you said similar thing about Wolfenstein Enemy Territory:

>>389623704

>>389623447
To be fair, the initial Female operators only got into their CTU and Rainbow because of their technical skills. The DLC ones is where it turns into Girl Power simulator. Majority of the women belong to Police/Gendarmerie Special Forces Units as well rather than just Military.

>>389623871
Hibana is now worse than Thermite because a bandit can shock her charges off easily because they take so long, the main advantage she has over therm is the ability to open 2 hatches and a killhole or 3 hatches. Hell I often find having 2 big holes in a wall was better than 1 big hole or 1 small hole and a killhole.
ying isnt reliant on having a breakable surface so she can use her ability to hit alot more places, also she has smokes which are absurdly powerful now.
if you are grouping lesion and ela under the 'slows down attackers' umbrella than you might as well include frost and kapkan despite them all having different application.
Also you are servery undervaluing slowing attackers down, 3 minutes is not a long time and if a roamer kills no one but wastes a minute then they have still helped their team quite a bit.

>When are we gonna get something really different
Why are you literally ignoring Mira and her mirrors? The Siege community has never suggested a gadget similar to her mirrors prior to her release.
>Or maybe a gun that can shoot around corners?
Trash idea. That's Blackbeard-tier bullshit.

Hibana is good for when you do not expect to do much wall breaching at all, While Thermite can deploy his breach charge faster and get a bigger hole to move through rather than a cramped one. As a Thermite main I go between the two depending on what I expect to be the objective. Hibana has the better weapons of the two but I feel her gadget is too slow for my taste if I need to do serious breaching. I leave the better weapons to the more adderal-infused players while I bring more support to the team.

>>389624224
>Hibana can make really big fucking holes too, just combine the fucking charges
Which takes longer to achieve and is loud as fuck so enemies either peek her before she can finish or have enough time to relocate and get ready. That's before she can even activate them.
Thermite needs to get close to put the charge which is much quieter and not as obvious until he activates it and gives only few seconds for defenders to get ready.

Both of them get task done, but suit different scenarios.

I recently starter playing, and I'm having more fun with this than any recent shooter

>>389624603
glad to hear your game launches anon.

>>389621846
Pretty much this with the new lighting effects. Siege is definitely the type of game one must experience at least once in their life.

>>389624525
>>389624539
That still isn't different enough to justify adding another operator, just give Thermite an alternative gadget and actually add an op that brings something new to the table

It's pretty fun.

I get really worn out after playing a few matches though. It isn't a game, to me, that you can marathon for hours.

Her ranged ability is useful for when you don't want to risk being caught out. I rarely destroy walls outright with her but instead do strategic destruction to make that corner or general area inhospitable to Defenders.

>>389624753
And yes she can lad, her ability only makes 6x6 small holes in the wall compared to Thermite's big fucking hole. However it's slow to deploy the three sets of pellets you need to make a standing level hole that's narrow for one person at a time. Honestly having both on the team also means you have a back-up breacher if the need arises.

It's one of the few FPSs where you can win by just outsmarting the other player as opposed to having better aim. Aim will still get you far, but by being a sneaky motherfucker and understanding each map will carry you farther.
This is a double-edged sword at sometimes.
Also the memes are spicy.

new update has made the hit registration more wonky than the last 6 months

even more impossible angles and trades and lag kills

wait for mid season patch to hopefully fix these "new servers"

>>389624149
When it comes to breaching, Hibana and Thermite are pretty equal. Thermite can breach two times, Hibana can breach three times with singular proneable breaches, or one crounchable breach and one proneable.

The main difference is the weapon, and Hibana's rifle is fucking trash compared to thermite's due small magazine.

It's better now than before but peakers advantage plus the still mediocre netcode can be really frustrating at times.
