Here's something you don't hear very often:

I just had a great game solo-queuing in Ranked.

Matched with 3 high level guys on mic who were friendly and were giving me pointers during the game. I choked a couple of times and we lost so won't be making their team, but given all the toxicity it's cool to be reminded how great a social game this can be.

This happened to me in casual last night. I met three dude from a CMDR clan, and we did pretty good so kept clicking "Stay as team" for the night. Even when we lost they stayed positive and not toxic. And we tried some crazy strats too, like 5-man roof runout and Valk cams on Forttress. It was fun.

When is the Year 4 roadmap gonna drop do we think?
I don't understand how the community don't speak about this. How the hell they are selling the y4 pass without revealing the content like the others years? It's a strange situation for me and this only indicates that the y4 is going to be a shit year or they made changes at the last moment and that's the reason for the silence.

You guys are conflating the season pass with the roadmap. The pass has 8 new OPs, with 8 costumes and the lava gun skin. We know this. If you buy that you know what you're getting. It's a blind box, but hey. Do they not always release a new map then a map rework alternating back and forth? The devs said they're never going to do a PvE mode or event ever again, so that's out.

I recently thought I was getting good at the game on Casual. Am able to bait players and can run out on defenders well. Higher level stuff.

Today put me back on Earth. Oof.

No they usually release a new map, there has only been one rework/remake so far.

I would expect 2-3 new maps and another rework... speculation is Kanal, which makes sense.

The devs said they wouldn't do outbreak again - I don't know if that rules out any new PvE mode.

It seems like they're shaking things up for Y4 but I wonder if Operation Health 2 is coming in March given the silence.

Solo queue has gotten a lot better on PC since 2-step verification. Way fewer throwers and general fuckery tanking your rank.

New Hereford has been very buggy for me lately. Reinforced walls showing up as non-reinforced for the whole team (but not the other team?)... fucked up a couple of rounds on bomb for us.

I'm assuming they will talk about the Y4 pass in a month at the Invitational at a panel. We know what's in it regarding operators. It's not a secret.

My guess it's pretty much the same as Y3. 2 new maps and 2 reworks/remakes.

Remember that maps are not covered by the season pass. If they don't want to do any new map, they are legally covered. New maps should happen though, at least 2. But at this moment, we have more unused/to be reworked maps than good maps...

Add university back and old hereford too you cowards! (Both maps are still and always will be in the game files thanks to the situations that use them.) So they're just sitting there going to waste...

My very first multiplayer match was on Old Hereford, and right after they took it out. Pretty sure I only played it one time.

I just got Bartlett in Thunt yesterday and was reminded WHY IT ISNT IN FUCKING MATCHMAKING because it's complete trash. So no, don't you dare bring it back.

The best part was that I picked Maverick just to kcik around with him and then went 'oh wait' immediately.

The crouch spam is easy to fix, you simply don't allow any more keypresses to register for the duration of the animation. So basically they need to get rid of animation canceling for everything but reload imo. (And even that is questionable if you want a real tactical shooter.) Cuz let's face it, in real life if you cancel a reload half way through the magazine is gonna fall out of your rifle because you didn't secure it or you're going to jam, or your chamber is gonna be empty, etc... Same thing for wiggle/lean spam, force the animation to finish before reading anymore lean inputs and maybe force an ADS cancel between leans as well.

A second operation health might not be such a bad idea if they look for way to tighten up the tactical gameplay a bit more while not changing it too much at the same time. Siege needs a balance of the two to draw big crowds and keep the game population healthy.

With each season this game gets more broken. Yes we came a very long way from launch but the game is bugged and broken in many ways!

So.. this is strange. I enabled 2FA back when they made the push to get people on 2FA. Yesterday I reset my phone, so Google Authenticator became unsynced from it. Anyway, it came up, asked me to authenticate, which I couldn't. So I got out of it. I brought it back up to authenticate to see if I could figure out how to sync it up and it just logged into the game.

Doesn't seem very secure.

Also, does anyone know how to sync my Google authenticator back up? It wants me to scan a QR code or a "key" on the Authenticator app. I'm not sure what to put in there.

It probably was still logged in, dunno why it asked the first time, but you should only have to authenticate VERY rarely.

Man that new Sandroot camo on Blackbeard looks really bad,
Like they started out doing a certain camo on one sleeve then decided on a different one for everything else.

Really need Ubi to give the Middle East their own servers already. Every other ranked match we're up against a full team of 150+ pings.

made the switch from PS4 to PC a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Can't go back to PS4 anymore. The only annoying thing is it feels like I have to play much longer for credits. I had almost all unlocked on PS4, here I am back to basics.

Man I was watching some show about Las Vegas after playing a few rounds of Siege , Jesus it had me feeling super nostalgic for R6 Vegas 1&2.
I kinda hope the eventual Siege 2 brings a bit of that back at the very least for a campaign.

Hell just give me an adjusted Calypso Casino map.

Were probably never getting a Casino map with the whole China thing. I doubt Ubi want's to do two totally different themes on the same map.

I've been watching this game from afar for a while, only dipped my toe into it before. I hope in the next couple weeks to dive a little deeper into this game. Hi everyone!

I know it's some real edge case stuff, but I managed to fix my slow loading times in R6 today. Basically the game hates it if you have Uplay installed on a different HDD than the game. I had Uplay on C:// but the game on E:// and I'd always be the slowest to load (the bit after selecting operators). Anyway, putting the game on my C:// drive fixed it completely.
