i found something interesting, is this real?I asked a week ago and I was sent this :)
Who I presume is Wamai.
Probably fake. Only real info for the Y5 ops are the guns that were leaked in the Test Server.
How could anyone think a faster/higher-jumping/invisible/X-RAY SCANNING(!) drone is real? An operator with a single one of those abilities on their drone would be enough. I think Chalet should stay as it is and move into Quick Play only. I find Skyscraper to be pretty fun as it is, but I understand the complaints. Interested in using the SEAL shotgun more already, so I think I'll do just that.
I was wondering if an Operator that could plant faster would be a good skill. Maybe too good?

Wamai is such a great operator design. It's honestly surprising how well thought out he is. They knew they needed another anti-throwable but it would be redundant just making another Jager. The way he is makes it so you can use his gadget in a reactionary way and counter the enemy, instead of just placing down your ADS during prep phase then roaming to frag out. I also like that he is rewarded for staying alive and becoming more useful as the round goes on similar to lesion. Just really well thought out.
Year 4 Operators on a whole have been really good I think. The standout season was Australians with Mozzie and Gridlock being great. I think Nook and Warden were clearly the weakest but I still think they are good overall, especially now that you see more people making Nook plays and Warden has been moved to 2 speed. I'm ok with operators like Amaru and Nook being somewhat underpowered and brought out very situationally to make surprise plays, and I appreciate that their gadgets are hard to use effectively so it's more impressive when you see it pulled off.
Here's hoping to a good Year 5.

I've been playing for the past 30 minutes trying to get the gratitude challenge done. I have not been able to get it because I keep fucking late joining games in the losing team in match point. To make things worse, there have been two games where my team is winning, and out of nowhere they start team killing and throw the match. This challenge is going to be impossible right? Christ. The toxicity in this game is beyond ridiculous.
I haven't won a single match. :/

Free weekend is always awful. Ran into multiple blatant hackers on new accounts as well, that just don't give a fuck. Anything sub level 50ish you can almost guarantee is trash in one way or another on weekends like this.
casual? Unranked? Ranked?
Can't wait for the new season. The 1,000 mmr difference between parties is a little tough. Its split up my group because some of us keep playing solo and lose rankings after the squad disbands.
Casual. It's my main mode. I only play ranked for the season charm and after that I never touch it as I do not enjoy the mode. I know, I know, you should expect this in casual, but some of the shit that happens is not punished by Ubisoft whatsoever. Even reversed friendly fire is exploitable by parties.
I bought four sets of Ember Rise uniforms. Not sorry. Might get one one more, but not sure for whom.
OP

Small anecdote: so I haven't touched Siege since the beginning of this year, but I played for about two years (w/over 2k hrs)—and I acquired my first job in retail this September, and as you should imagine I've faced some ridiculous customers and situations from that time to now and through Black Friday and all that fun stuff. No one and nothing has been as difficult to work with as all the random people I met on Xbox Live playing ranked Siege.
Moral of the story: if you're afraid of working a customer-facing job (as I was), play an online competitive mode and try communicating with your teammates. Nothing prepares you more as far I'm concerned. If (on overtime match point) you can describe where gadgets and walls need to be placed to salty assdrips dropping slurs around and you can call out tango locations while there's a baby crying and/or possible domestic violence over someone's mic, you can probably solve or at least de-escalate something frustrating in retail.
Who says gaming doesn't enrich you?

The 2nd floor is awful. They removed train and turned it into a maze of rooms.
They should have Siege on the new consoles at launch. I'm sure that would help boost the numbers a lot.
Yeah, I'm having the same problem as I do on Hereford. Everything just looks the same.
Apparently Ubi is planning to remove All chat from everything but Custom Matches.
We already have mute features. This is not the answer :(

Reversed, with a toggleable solution coming. Hopefully that means a switch per player, as that is actually useful to me. I mute the other team on loading in every time.Apparently Ubi is planning to remove All chat from everything but Custom Matches.

I don't have a problem with this honestly. I tend to mute the enemy team anyway. I hardly ever find useful stuff coming from all chat.
They're not doing it anymore. it was a terrible decision to do it in the first place. There is a lot of toxicity but this is not something that should be done.
Yeah I didn't think the community at large would be happy with that lol. The mute function is there anyway if you want it, it's not a big deal either way.
So I was queuing with randoms and went up against a team with Merc and Beaulo, and we pulled out the overtime win*
*in COD 2v2 Gunfight**
**Beaulo called me a rat, lmao

Par for the course for Ubi then. Turn every map into a series of nondescript, cramped boxes.
Nephew wants this game for Christmas and was wondering which version to get him.. Found this one on gamestop for $40.
Any new information your buddy gave you for Y5 S1? I know the weapons already got leaked from the Test Server but I would love to know the gadgets they'll have. Also any information about the battle pass would be cool.
What's the consensus/thoughts on the new update?
Warden/Glaz better?
Jackal nerf good?
Kali good/useful alternative to Thatcher?
Wamai seems obviously good.
People like new Theme Park?
Did people like the new Kanal too? I missed last season. And what's next? What map is being updated? Which ops are getting tweaked?

Kanal upgrade was good. I'm not sold on Theme Park. I really liked old theme park though. For me, the brightness is more annoying than the map changes.
I mean, worst case, it's still WAY better than Hereford, I just never bought the notion that it needed a redesign to begin with, as a map in a vacuum it seems totally fine.

I never see anyone using Kali's gadget. It's not good enough to replace Thatcher (like Kaid/Bandit) because it can't counter tricking, but it's a good supplement.
I don't like Theme Park at all. I get that run-outs and peeks and all that make the game (a little bit) inaccessible to new people, but the indoor/outdoor play is so much more interesting than maps that are impossible to enter and/or navigate (i.e. defender-sided). Pretty sure Villa/New Hereford/Outback and now Theme Park are all crazy defender-sided.
