Rainbow Six Siege

I'm only just getting used to Tower.........

Cant wait to get the graphics update on Xbox One X tomorrow and anyone on PS4 Pro I am sure you are too.

It will make some difference. Especially in sights like the red dot. I've played it on PC and Xbox and have appreciated how much better the sights are on PC.

Is it definitely out tomorrow? Edit: scratch that, didn't see the post before this one

FAILSAFE 00

Has the Xbox One X & PS4 Pro update been pushed out until Thursday? I was listed as June 5th.

Deffo release is the 7th, I think there was a last minute fix to be done thats why its out on a Thurs rather then the usual Tues I believe.

Lads, thinking of finally picking this up in the E3 sale to scratch my online multiplayer FPS itch. I enjoy the odd crucible match in D2 but looking for another option and have heard good things on the continued support for the game much like they've done with Division.

Just wondering what the community is like and also am I too late in the game to be getting into this?

I've read about team-killing and things like that which sounds fairly toxic but tempted to check it out regardless.

10/10 - should buy.

For competitive FPS nothing compares to this and Overwatch imo.

I actually have Overwatch at home and haven't even opened it yet. Got it bundled with my One X last week and had planned on just trading it in.

Would you rate one better than the other. Might give Overwatch a whirl before I trade it so and see how it is, could hold off on Siege then if I like it.

Would be jumping into either one (or both) as a solo player teaming up with randoms I guess, is mic essential in these games, they seem a lot more team focused than PVP in Destiny

the basic edition of siege can be found dirt cheap on adverts or donedeal if you're on xbox. It was part of a console bundle a few months back and there are a lot of codes out there being sold. As for recommending it - yea, its very hard, but very rewarding. its easy avoid toxic players by using the LFG (looking for group) funtion, generally anyone going to the trouble of making a post isn't going to be trolling or messing about.

I never took to overwatch, the cartoon style didn't do it for me, a few of the lads I play with regularly absolutely rave about it though. They do free to play weekends pretty often too, so you could always wait to dip your toe.

you can play it solo, and most people in the casual playlist dont have mics, but its a completely different game when you have a team that are fully mic'd up, and using actual tactics.

Cool, think I'll give Overwatch a whirl over the weekend and if I'm not digging it might trade it and get Rainbow Six Siege in the E3 sale or something.

Eh... I thought we were getting thr update today?

J Mysterio

Ah... it is downloading !

Games UI has had a super overhaul and it looks really well, sometimes the little things make a huge difference. I take it the high res. patch has been added coz the new map looks so so sharp and so do the guns and ops......

Club house is mental now, cant get over the new layout but I feel its for the best very hard to defend garage section now.

Virgin picked the worst day to fcuk about with my internet......

It's amazing how fresh the changes make the game feel, little things like the animated attack / defend icons etc, makes it look a lot more modern. Only had time for two quick games and wasn't fast enough to grab the new ops at any stage, but I do like the look of the new map, miles better than tower anyway, try as I might, I never felt like I knew where I was going in it.

J Mysterio

I played 1 game of casual today (first time in over a year) to check out the map and the new operators. First round three of my team get killed and me and another survive. I got two assists and two kills, including a kill to win the round. Straight away after, 3 of 4 players voted to kick me. Wtf. Honestly, casual is a ****storm, never again.

I played 6 games of ranked. It's a nightmare at the minute. I had a 3 lads on my team pick recruit and TK from the off laughing about fcuking up people's chances to get a decent rank........

J Mysterio

Ranked has been 95% fine for me, though I had two shocking encounters back to back yesterday with lads saying some bad shıt on mic. That level of abuse hasnt happened before though, so it's very rare I think.

the start of a new season is always the most toxic time IMO, it brings all the low attention span mouthbreathers back out of the woodwork to check out the new operators. You'll have the usual teamkilling of people who have the season pass / access to the new ops ahead of the other peasants in casual as well.

I used Alibi a few times yesterday.......I don't think anyone fell for them......I got not signal that they did anyway......new OP seemed rubbish to me so far
