well okay, i guess that would make a bit more sense as to why you'd be pissed. i always just thought of them as seasonal weapon skins. kinda like they were souvenirs for the operators for the operations they'd been on, so it wouldn't make sense for the geo to equip the skull rain seasonal when they weren't part of it. even then the S3 + S4 + S5 can still be put on a lot of weapons.

>>168558916
>>168558507
What is universal?
I bought skins under the impression that because they were universal I could use them with s2, if they give me my RP back I'll accept it was just a fuck up and not them trying to jew me for every last penny they can

My best friend Thatcher died in a spawn peek 10 seconds into the round. He's dead and gone. Favela was his favorite map. I'm gonna build him a fully destructible building. You don't have to be an operator to be an Earth Rocker. Blitz is an Earth Rocker. My other best friend Twitch is on the other side of the map droning again. She's droning for roamers for the 16th time. Good luck with that one. I'm sick of the bull shit. I'm sick of all the shit. I don't queue for ranked anymore, cause I hate every mother fucker, I don't care what their strat is. 2 minutes I wasted, waiting by the reinforced wall, chit chatting with fucking nobodies. Now I just Ash main, like a fucking third world shitter. Not gonna take any shit from anybody. I know what's going on, I got setup, I got spawn peeked. Thank god t.astro wasn't there to watch me get my fucking ass kicked. He would have wound up with a team kill and probably ragequit. He has a big mouth. I live for this shit, I love it.

you dumbass nigger, none of the "Seasonal" skins for those seasons were listed as "UNIVERSAL" they were listed as just "SEASONAL". You bought them gun by gun, of course they aren't gonna be applicable to guns you don't buy them for, dumb shit.
The only thing you have right is Skull Rain to Red Crow, but that's probably because most of the skins for that season weren't good enough, so not enough people bought them and no one noticed. Literally not buying the skins means I wouldn't have known, because I didn't buy any universal skins until Red Crow, which I did in half because I expected to be able to use them on guns going into the future.

who the fuck even wants your sympathy, is this what you thought this whole conversation was about, very clear my ass, in order for a person to find out they're not actually universal is for a person to have bought skull rain "universal" skins, if a person only like the red crow "universal" skins under the presumption that they are actually universal, there would be no way for them to find out

I'd presume it's because the effort it would take would grow exponentially with each season added

>>168563092
Do we need that shit though? Will situational trash really add to the experience that siege presents, or will it make it more like some cheap run of the mill MOBA shooter? Siege brings something unique to the table as far as shooters go and I really see it as an evolution of the barebones elements that made CS so popular, I really don't understand how cramming in more operators will improve the game.
I'd say the best bet would be adding in this year's 8 and then adding in more maps, that's where the strategic variation comes in.

Calm down man Tear gas is not meant to kill and would mostly be used for attackers.

Throw this shit into an objective and it blurs peoples vision making them cough all that jazz.

Its not really that out there of an idea and on top of it they could make it a cool M203 or under barrel launcher attachment

You people seem like the kind of guys who would make a game where everyone looks the same they all use the same 4 guns and only play on like 4 maps.

50 operators would only work if the basics of Attack and Defense, like breaching reinforcements and preventing said breaches, were already covered by almost all of any given attacker or defender.
But the fact that there are some ops that are more important or almost necessary means that there will always be the "shit list" of operators that have "bad" guns or situational gadgets compared to more important counterparts, and in high level play (and that doesn't mean pro) the "I want to win because winning is more fun than getting stomped" strats will revolve around a small pool of operators instead of the whole cast. It's just not realistic to expect even 25 out of 50 operators to all get even halfway even pickrates, let alone 100.
I'd much rather have around 20 ops per team at most, and continue to rework characters until they all feel more balanced around each other.

>>168564846
but being useful doesn't stop an op from being fun, who the fuck even bring a bayonet when sieging a building

>>168565073

Just make everyone over powered

What about making tachanka a attacker, seems he would be more useful that way.

>>168565145

>>168564148
>>168564692
>>168565145
I feel like really minuscule shit like bayonets or tear gas is stuff that should be offered as gadgets to already existing ops, not shoehorned in as new Operators.

Instead of adding 50+ ops why not

Siege is already fun man, I don't see how anyone could disagree. All I'm saying is that Ubi should improve on what makes the game good, consequence driven gameplay based around team tactics, you can win a 5 man recruit rush if your whole team is baller.
I'm all for a few more operators but the game at its core (to me at least) is about map knowledge and team communication, and adding too many operators (and a pick/ban list like a lot of people are asking for) will ruin the flavour of the gameplay.
All that being said, if Ubi REALLY wanted to add variety to operator choice, they'd hit a more modest operator count and just start adding in alternative special gadgets. I don't know how they'd fully implement it but something like in the select phase choosing either lethal or flashy fuze charges, OR giving thermite a few big close range breaches or hibanas gun (I know this idea is arguably more cancer but it adds variety without becoming TOO ridiculous imo).

Correct isn't it?

>>168565734
>Add more gadgets
>New attachments
>More rebalances on current guns
These things have already happened

I think a tear gas attacker would be good for this game, especially on hostage.

Throw a grenade into the objective, gas spreads around objects so you won't get fucked over like you do with flashbangs, defenders (even Smoke) get heavily blurred and darkened vision with absolutely no HUD for 10 seconds if they touch the cloud. It might even lead to accidental TKs in your favour during the panic.

>it's an other players on you team on defense try to peek people who are outside the objective room and get picked off episode

>>168565073
I always kinda compare Siege to Dark Souls, you really need to know what's up to start fully enjoying it and once you do you can wreck constantly.
There's always going to be some standard way to win but the real fun is when you just ultra dick on someone with some retarded ass bullshit they wouldn't expect.
I don't think that adding more operators to mildly add to the games appeal should be their next move, it makes the game more like chess as opposed to a dynamic experience where you need a skill/ knowledge combo to do well.

Smoke shouldn't and wouldn't be affected. He's wearing a full on NBC suit which is why he's the only OP not affected by his gas.

>>168567076
Ah yeah, too true.
Seriously but, for a realistic shooter there's heaps of small shit that bugs me, like what's the deal with multiplayer, why are they fighting themselves? Is there any other ones, i can't remember atm.

The other SAS have weak ass gas masks and are mostly like filters

Smoke has a full filtration system

In the alpha they werent affected by it but it was deemed to OP

>>168567017
>Real talk tho, why aren't all SAS operators immune to Smoke's canisters?

Sorry, but don't ever balance games anon.

>>168567056
Alright anon, since you seem to not understand, let me lay it out for you:
I know they already happened, and the exact tense I used was future. See: "will not" rather than "did not" or "have not".
I also don't expect them to do "more than half" of those things ever again, which is why I said "more than half".
And lastly, you listed three of eight things I listed myself, which is three eights, and unfortunately less than half.
But keep at it anon, your reading comprehension and math skills will get better someday.

The reflex / triangle sight is also fiber optic + tritium - they have an electronic one as well, but the one in the game is the fiber/trit version

The Aimpoint and Eotech are both electronic, however, and I believe all the Russian optics are 100% electronic

Why would I stop playing? It's easily one of my favourite games ever, just gets irritating that low attention span dipshits want to clog the game up with literal gimmicks.
Seriously go watch the original trailer and tell me that it doesn't look bomb as fuck, admittedly changes had to occur to make the game viable as a game but it doesn't need to morph itself into some free toplay garbage to survive.

I LIKE THE NEW MAP AND I WANT TO PLAY IT, LET ME PLAY IT

>>168567861
There's no precedent for more than half of the shit that I listed. The three (3) things they have done aren't something they're probably gonna do INSTEAD of making new ops for 3 more years if they actually give a shit about their self-imposed Op-count goal.
Why would they add guns to old ops if they've literally never done it before and want to save new guns for new ops?
Why would they make a new gadget equip system? It's not an obvious thing to do and it'd cost more time that could be spent on new ops.
Why would they add new gadgets constantly if they're trying to add up to 50 ops? They'd only be "wasting" their ideas for gadgets for new ops by giving them to old ones, even if they were small ideas.
If Ubi's gonna reach their big number for how many ops they want to add, they're not going to have the time, money, or creativity to focus on doing that AND adding and reshuffling the core game mechanics and equip systems, it's just not realistic.
And yes, I assume that since they literally said they want to add as many ops as possible, that they're going to do that, which I don't want.

>>168568619
i sort of understand, but thats just how the progression of these games work. they already covered all the basics, they have to branch out to things that are less useful and more situational and at some point its going to seem like just a gimmick. honestly though, the most recent ops have a fine niche. echo kinda sucks but thats about it.

Most games tend to try and add variance into their game modes, which is why COD and Halo ended up with No Respawn style CSGO rules on a number of playlists that are fan favorites.

Even on Halo I hate shit like Team SWAT but people like that retarded shit.

Siege's problem is they have said they never, ever want to evolve the mechanics. So maybe in some new hypothetical gamemode someone like IQ would be a top tier pick, but that will never be the case (think how Fuze is good in Defuse / Secure but a no no pick in Hostage)

Even Team Fortress has learned they have to add new shit over time, and Overwatch is desperately trying to find some new niche. Every time CS releases a new version of itself, it's usually subtly but drastically different than before. CSGO is nowhere close to Source, but on the surface it looks the same.

In many ways it requires a lot of skill (and money) to make a good product, and then to continue making it even better and better. This dev team has neither skill nor money.

Anyone that wants all ops that are already in the game to at least serve a purpose at most levels of play.
In short, people that want the game to be balanced.
>only Reddit wants that XD go back!!!
If you don't want the game to be balanced properly, you're welcome to fuck off bitch-boi

>>168568789
Adding new ops that are situational only works if there aren't ops that are almost always useful.
Valk and Hibana pretty much permanently take up one slot on their respective teams in all medium-to-high level play, and the more ops they add, the more chances of another Valk or Hibana tier operator being added to each team that takes up another slot, partially removing the element of choice and making the meta more stale.
I'd be fine with them adding many more operators if I didn't already have reason to be afraid of this outcome. Even at launch there were ops you could almost never do without, and with a game with only 5 players per team, this really removes flexibility, and in turn, a lot of the point of having 25 ops to pick from on either side.

>>168568724
Wasn't a complaint about balance against realism, was a general question regarding the consistency of the in game rules not a balance suggestion. The IQ one specifically was just a comment on how mild changes to the games logic would likely impact gameplay for the better(imo), I know that such a change might make her OP but there are sights that don't run battery power.
As for that other one, I agree fully with >>168565734 but it seems like old mate was taking the piss and you went full sperg lord on him.

Chicken or the egg problem bro, maybe Siege doesn't have a good player base cause people don't stick around due to lack of variety.

either way, breaking up the player base now wouldn't ruin it further with the already existing matchmaking problems

>>168569443
I'd love for all the OPs to be balanced but Ubisoft has proven that will never ever happen. Blitz and the Spetsnaz minus Fuze are forever doomed to mediocrity and broken hitboxes.

Ubi really needs to sort their shit out, got stuck in a fucking staircase the other day and fell through the map, was then removed from match.

>>168569443
Frankly Hibana needs to lose her claymore, Thermite needs breaching charges as a choice again, and maybe buff Thermites gun damage

Valk should have lost her Nitrocell after they realized Frost isn't getting picked anymore, and given it back to Frost, which would make her a decent pick again and Valk less of an obvious, do everything pick.

The problem isn't so much that Operators are too strong in what they do, it's that they are too strong plus have more versatility than everyone else.

>>168569605

>>168569605
I don't think we're suggesting 900 fucking game modes, but even adding a fourth "Siege" mode and more interesting shit in T Hunt would go a long way to bringing people back in.

There are a lot of obvious improvements - I've seen it suggested and also put it forward myself that Ubisoft needs to ban repeat quitters from ranked until the end of a season, but they will never do that, and I don't know why. The fuck is a 10 minute renown penalty really going to do?

>>168569680
>Valk should have lost her Nitrocell

No. If anything Bandit, Kapkan and Mute should lose theirs and make nitro an "intel" based thing.

>>168569781
they might implement something like that in the future when the player base is big enough, I don't think they need to sweat it now since the data did show that the player base is growing

>>168569809
>No

She's one of the most obviously useful Defenders and she has amazing intel because impossible to find cameras + no downside guns + a nitrocell, so why should she keep all of those things when some operators get far less?

>Kapkan should lose c4

Are you actually retarded?

>>168569987
Why should Frost get nitro? She has better guns than Valkyrie and welcome mat downs are 100% more frequent than EDD kills. Frost isn't some 0% pick rate like Blitz or Tachanka.

>>168569781
>I don't think we're suggesting 900 fucking game modes, but even adding a fourth "Siege" mode and more interesting shit in T Hunt would go a long way to bringing people back in.

>>168569987
during the rainbow six siege they did show the chart of the player base growing, and the last spike of player was during the red crow release during december before the free weekend

>>168569469
Hey, thanks for being somewhat reasonable anon.
I understand your points of inconsistency, but I much prefer mild inconsistency/unrealistic representation over poor or annoying gameplay.
There was an anon many, many threads ago that was bitching about how Kapkan and Frost traps weren't triggered by friendlies because it was "unrealistic", and that's an extreme example, but I disagree with it for the same reasons.
I can't really see many ways you could improve consistency or believability of most gadget interactions without introducing major issues related to overpunishment, or when new players get their hands on shit. Imagine Thatchers throwing Emps while you were already breaching as Thermite and Hibana just because they didn't know better or weren't being aware. It's really not worth introducing those risks that could potentially annoy players out of wanting to even play.

Pro pick rates don't represent the average player, they only pick based on min maxing. Your average Joe is going to pick whoever they feel like playing and Frost has no where near a 2% pick rate in the actual game.

I dunno man, I personally would love some shit like that but yeah each his own and some shit would be game breaking (though custom matches should really be able to add this stuff in, especially on tac real).
I just wish there was some more lore(or.less autistic equivalent) / in game descriptions as to why stuff sorta works how it does, I mean, they fucking gave a full story explaining why the smg lost its ACOG and where Chanka got his shield but not one for why any of the main game mode exists within that universe.

>>168570637
>conjecture, the post

You also are arguing like min/max-ing is not the natural end state of a competitive experience, or that the casual pick rates don't mirror the competitive ones far more often than not.

Does this mean Tachanka should have never gotten buffed, despite a lifetime <1% pick rate, because he was memelorded by Reddit and regularly picked by them for funs?

>>168571048
They actually did and when the stats site was up you could actually see the majority of operators had similar pick rates to where they would be on the global data, with one or two outliers who had a massive difference (ie Kapkan having 8% pickrate compared to 0%)... but the majority lined up

Hey /r6g/, an update on the shotgun analysis. I've tested the M870 without a laser sight (for the popular GSG9 recruit on attack or defense), the Supernova, and half of the ITA-12L most recently. The results might not be as what you might expect.

The M870 without a laser didn't perform as well as the other original two pump shotguns as you might guess, but even with ADS it couldn't reliably take down targets like the others.

The Supernova was fucking awful in hipfire, which is a shock because I expected it to be the best performing pump action in the game. The reason why you have to get super close in hipfire is because of the spread. The shotgun has great damage, good range, but unreliable shit spread that can end up leaving someone standing after the first shot.

So far, the ITA-12L is looking good. It seems like it's pretty similar to the SG-CQB which has a balance of damage and range.

I'm still doing some more testing tonight, if you'd like to help out then come join the co-op games channel in the teamspeak. A mic isn't necessary for testing, you only need to sit still in one spot.

Who said anything that implied that? Tachanka still needs a buff, Frost doesn't need a buff just because people don't pick your waifu as much as you'd like them to.

>>168569809
>>168569987
Valk is so good because she offers the most risk-free intel of any defender, and having 3 cams makes it much less fragile compared to Echo, who would optimally be her only competition.
Taking her Nitro would give her at least one weakness, and force her to rely on teamwork if she wants to punctualize on her intel.
The only other way to make her less of a must-pick is to give her more competition that thrives based on either different playstyles or situational usage, like if they were to buff echo or give a new op another unique intel ability.
And the only way to keep stacking intel ops from being too powerful would be to keep them from having certain tools or utilities that only non-intel ops would be able to bring, like c4 or impact nades for example.

>>168571048
Frost being picked occassionally in casual, and just more than the actually broken or borderline useless ops doesn't mean she's "fine", it just means she's not at the bottom of the barrel. She could still use buffs or tweaks to give her more flexibility, because there are many other ops that do more important or useful jobs than her and she'll naturally fall out of favor if people play to win.
But other ops obviously do need buffs more, I'm not arguing otherwise.

>>168571235
No it means that frost doesn't need a buff for no reason, people should pick who they want and just dick on people by being good. They probably took down the stats so idiots like you would shut up and stop acting like other people's pick rates are the be all and end all.
Seriously if the players can't shake up their own meta organically why even play? It just becomes some shitty pick fest where the game becomes less dynamic.

>>168572162
Pro League pick rates do not reflect on the player base as a whole. Frost is picked a decent amount in Casual and Ranked. She gets 100% more welcome mat downs than Kapkan does EDD kills. Frost has one of the best SMGs in the game and a decent pistol but this is not enough because other ops are better at doing a completely different thing?

No one's arguing you should only play ops that other people pick, people are only arguing that it shows ops need to be buffed to have balanced viability, you dumb autist.

>>168572240
Do you understand the point that if all characters were equally viable picks, the meta would be exponentially more complex? And that you would have to think harder about the potential enemy composition and their likely picks to plan your defenses accordingly?

Like do you understand how mathematics work?

>>168572334
Pro League pickrates reflect an end state of people wanting to win, not just playing for fun. Consequently, people think winning is fun, so the data is a great starting point for looking into stuff.

If we want to go into a dataless, conjecture based argument: The thing with the welcome mats is they tend to be MORE effective against less skilled players than more skilled players. This is a common sense argument we can all agree on. Therefore, as the opposition skill level increases, the less effective she becomes. Which, funny enough, the data reflects that.

It's just a matter of how stupid you think the player population is being, but according to the pros, her mats are not reliable enough to trap highly skilled players in, so characters with more RELIABLE and PREDICTABLE outcomes, like Valk, are chosen instead.

Aside from that she has a pretty good SMG but, other characters have good guns, have more reliable gadgets and more versatility and/or nitros.

Even just using a common sense argument she's a fairly weak pick.

I am really terrible at Blitz. I have no idea how to play this fucker. Someone help me become the bully.

>And that you would have to think harder about the potential enemy composition and their likely picks to plan your defenses accordingly?

I do this already. I pick Frost a lot if the enemy team rushes in and doesn't drone. I get a good amount of welcome mats doing this.

>>168572870
I literally spelled it out how she isn't a viable pick RELATIVE to the other characters in the game. This is why pick rates are reflected in percentages instead of a Boolean.

Is she playable and fun? Yeah kind of, unless you are playing to win, then there are characters with more predictable and reliable outcomes (read: better chance of influencing the match) that you can default to

This is why Valk is good. Her outcome is beyond predictable and it's almost impossible for attackers to counter UNLESS they have an IQ, who is one of the least picked characters in the game. Just one way how having more predictably viable characters would make the meta more interesting :)

Crouching can help protect your legs at range, but stand when the enemy is close to protect your head. Keep the center of your screen in mind before you aim, so you aren't exposing yourself too much when you want to return fire. Flashes are limited, but it's better to use them whenever you can.

>>168574528
You understand those examples of a drastic meta shift of previous low tier characters are usually exceptionally rare to the point of not being even worthwhile accounting for, or the fact the environment shifted around them?

People just randomly discovering a character is good suddenly does not happen as often, and the community very quickly usually finds the "best" gun, character or whatever in a game. I don't think you can even cite a game where the meta was 100% settled, and then later on someone discovered a new way of playing that altered the meta drastically.

It hasn't happened in Siege and most updates are usually picked apart in /r6g/ even before the patch lands and predictions are usually on point. I can't remember who did it but there are posts outlining exactly what would happen to the game once Blackbeard was added and it happened to the letter.

Fuck even maybe real time tracking for, what, 5 seconds? That wouldn't be too bad. But 3 pings every 10 seconds is crazy because you are essentially locked out of getting close for all that time

All I can do during a Jackal tracking is set up an ambush and hope they come after me, which many times they don't.

>>168576484
People seem to forget it's really 4 pings; one at the start of the track, and then one every 10 seconds afterwards for 30 seconds.

And yeah really, unless the people on Jackal's team are eager beavers and REALLY want the kill it more than anything locks you out of fighting for a whole 30 seconds as a roamer, and if you get tracked as a point defender or beta-roamer you're pretty much fucked since you'll have much less room to reposition within.

>>168576392
Yeah but what's he actually tracking though, how does the visor work?

Most of the times I've been tracked by Jackal yeah it pretty much turns into "welp I guess I gotta stay out of the way for the next half a minute" and I shit you not on multiple occasions I had him retrack me to just lock me out again while they were hitting the objective.

I don't know what would be "better" but I find it amazing how his shit is almost universally hated by all Rainbow players, yet someone who gets paid to make this shit for a living thought it was okay (and then approved by people who make even more money than him)

>>168576898
>I find it amazing how his shit is almost universally hated by all Rainbow players
I'm more bothered by people that defend it here, like what the fuck is going through their head?
And most of the time the only evidence or reason they have is "He's bad because I killed him after he pinged me xD get good scrub"
But thankfully the amount of that I see has decreased since his actual release.

I just like how Mira was added after Hibana was already 10/10

If Mira was added back during the Black Ice days, holy shit that would have been game changing. Now it just upped my "Pick Hibana" decision from 8/10 times to 9.5/10 times

montagne is now blackbeard during release levels of powerful he needs a nerf fucking stat.

Hibana needed a nerf or nerfs of some sort before Mira was added, I definitely agree.
Now that I know Mira's potentially going to be in play and there's nothing I can do about it in most situations if I play as Thermite, I've actually lost the bravery to pick him now, and I used to play them both 50/50.

Can't get tracked by Jackal if you don't roam

>>168577535
I liked picking Thermite for the shotgun. I shit you not, the 1014 was a top tier meme gun. People like the Supernova + Sanicbana but someone coming around the corner to nail a Thermite and getting pumped with semi auto buck is top tier satisfying

But yeah now that Mira *can* be picked? It's all ogre. Plus I've had her mirror / wall turn into vault holes with 1x Hibana pellet a few times which is actually even a BUFF to the attackers. Shits crazy.

Is mira's primary shotgun and her pistol viable?

>>168576701
It's a blacklight basically.

How do I buy all the y1 operators. I don't feel like I can be competitive on ranked without most of them

>>168576701
If you're looking for a way to explain how Jackal gets a pinpoint of your current location based on just your footprints, I'm figuring it's some type of "computer probability analysis" excuse. Like, "This person was here at this time, and running in that direction at that speed, so after computing all the data and the layout of the building, that person must now be [here]."

Y2 Pass won't get you the Y1 Ops.

Either you're paying money for 8 known Ops, or 2 known Ops and 6 unknown Ops (plus a small renown boost for the next year).

You could also pay for each Op individually, or just grind renown along the way and see them in action before splurging.

>>168578757
Now you've got me thinking of just the y2 pass the. Grinding (mainly for hibana)

>>168578757
Whats the money count, really, for individual ops vs the bundle?

You could buy the 3 or so actually competitive ops, then worry about grinding renown to get the next ones. Jackal and Mira are good, but they are nowhere near Hibana or Valk tier

If you grab Hib, Valk with real money, and then also Buck, Blackbeard and maybe Capitao by saving up renown (before Cap was top pick until he lost frags) you are really set for all the year one ops

You gotta remember part of the fun of this shit is saving up for ops. if you buy them all the only thing left to do is grind for cosmetics. Maybe get the Y2 season pass for the dank renown bonus / discounts, plus buy Hib and Valk?

>>168578834
Get the year 1 op bundle ($20 in game store) and grind for the new ops instead

>>168578939
>>168578971
Sounds like y2pass +hibana, Sounds good to me really. So far ayyyy

>>168579059
Get Valk as well. She's been a top tier defender since she came out and even if Ubisoft takes another camera away AND her Nitrocell she'll still be a decent pick

>>168578971

Are you asking how the pings work or how the footprints work? Because a thermal camera can see footprints for a pretty long time after someone has stepped there. The pings are just video game logic, stop being autistic.

>>168578939
Each DLC Op is 600 R6 Credits, or 25K Renown.

(Prices USD)

$5 gets you 600 credits.

Y1 Op pack is 2400 ($20), individually these 8 Ops would be 4800 ($40), so you're saving 50%

The Y2 Season pass (8 Ops plus some extra things) is $30. They're individual 600 Credits ($5), so here the discount is only 37%. You buy that in Steam / Uplay / PSN or whatever, no buying Credits first.

If you really want to grind, a one day booster is 180 Credits ($1.50), which doubles earned renown, and the max renown per day is 50,000. So, buy a booster, earn 25k in one day, the booster doubles it and gets you another 25k, which is the price of one DLC Op. In other words, using a booster and intense grinding, you can earn a DLC op for only $1.50, instead of the outright price of 600 Credits ($5.00), or 3 DLC Ops for the price of one (even more if you buy the mutli-day boosters)

>>168579541
>Because a thermal camera can see footprints for a pretty long time after someone has stepped there

Not really. For your heat to be visible you'd usually need to be standing in one place for a LONG time, and it would have to be BARE feet

Shoes and shit don't show up well on thermal because the bottom of your shoe is not anywhere near body temperature

>>168575496
As an Ebola strain trappe din a white mans body I hope you start oozing blood from every orifice.

To extend: Max speed grinding is achieved through lone wolf classic terrorhunt on house on the highest difficulty that you can comfortably clear. Over and over.

I'd prefer something closer to CSGO's icons, where they are more detailed, in Siege they look far too minimalist and similar to one another, it just looks cheap is the best way I can describe it.
