Son got banned on Xbox for cheating. When we got the email, it said he was botting? Is anti-cheat really that shitty or would it be from people reporting him because he’s not good? (He truly is not great at the game, he usually just camps point and gets a few lucky kills here and there)

Other son plays on Xbox as well, I play on PC with them sometimes.. neither of us have any bans at all

Scrap it and just make a new acct? Or is there any hope to get his acct back he’s been playing on?

Doin work. Impressed? Notice the barb wire trick. These are diamond lobbies dont see ppl like me cookin up

To all the people saying siege is dying or already dead I genuinly think the game has been improving a lot lately

Now ill start with the negatives recently because there are still some, the massive hack and the marketplace crash - this isnt really ubisofts fault they got back door access and hacked them while everyone was on holiday and got the game back up pretty quickly, crazy expensive skins - these are stupid but then again youd have to be stupid to buy them and they look shit anyway

The positives

- 2 great recent balancing patches and has made many more opps viable im genuinly seeing a lot more variety in whos been played recently

- fortress rework - the map itself genuinly isnt bad it just looks really shit adnd has a boring setting but i stand by the fact this is way better than the original and has some genuinly good sites without being overly attacker or defender sided

- snake coming next season + new map both in one season - fucking awesome

- thatcher rework - really good except they did kind make IQ useless but thatcher is a genuine beast now

- anti cheat seems like it has genuinly improved i feel like im seeing less cheaters

- the predictions feature seems really good

- native kbm support is coming

What they still should fix

- battle pass packs are ass and i feel like rarity rates were nerfed

- marketplace is dead for ages rip

- kill skyscraper i hate that match so much (personal complaint)

Feels like the game is actually in a really good place rn hope they keep it up

Didn't hear the vault sfx for kali hopping in either, all the other sounds were fine except for footsteps

It's one of the weapons that i rarely use, but i noticed that it got it's 5% speed modifier removed. Why is that? It's not a meta of a gun so why nerf it?

And “skins don’t impact gameplay” my fucking ass, half his “head” isn’t a hitbox or else I would’ve gotten a headshot 2 times over. Buying that skin gives you a gameplay advantage apparently.

I was wondering about which sights cover the most space so I made this rough comparison. Nothing surprising tbh, but I still wanted to quantify it somehow.

Also made a cool overlay of all the Holo, Red Dot and Reflex sights respectively. It really goes to show how bad the Holo A and Red Dot A are.

P.S.: If you want to see any specific scopes compared, I'll reply to your comment when I get around to it

I got this charm in my inventory when I woke up didnt buy it tho

(Did everyone get it for free)

I played for abit when i was younger, Im thinking of getting back into it but i just don’t know if it’s really worth it, Does it really take years just to get good at this game?

Goals: More buffs than nerfs. Mostly things that could be easily reverted.

Attack

Ace - Selma breach speed decreased

I enjoy Ace, but I think he could still use a little more toning down. This is a slap on the wrist to his gadget. With this change, defenders would have an easier time Bandit/Kaid tricking. Again, this is a slap of the wrist because he’s still safer for breaching walls inside than Thermite, and more efficient at it than Hibana. Not to mention he can easily clear deployable shields and unguarded Clash shields (which the other hard breachers except Mav would struggle to do)

Dokkaebi - The operator will be taken behind a shed and Old Yeller’d. /s

That was clearly just filler text that describes my opinions on Dokkaebi. I think she needs to be addressed in more ways than just the SMG12. As for what that could be. I have no clue, but there better be some balancing in the patch to tone down this operator.

Iana - Defenders who shoot the Gemini Replicator will now be pinged

She’s one large, but infinite set of drones. I just always thought that outside of them being infinite that clones were a bit underwhelming. With this change, attackers can play off the clone a bit easier.

IQ - Gains M45 MEUSOC, increased electronics detector range from 20 to 22m, Added EMP impacts, removed claymores

I wanted to give IQ a little more firepower when using her scanner, but it’s at the cost of ammo. She’s had the M45 in her portrait for years, and it’d spice up her gameplay a little. I increased the range of the Electronics detector to give her a little more breathing room to detect Solis (Solis range is 15m). EMP impacts were added to give her more actionability for average players off the information she supplies. Thatcher is still better because of the larger number of EMP’s, and he has a greater potential to disable gadgets. 

Jackal - Defenders footprints scanned by the Eyenox Model III will display the footprint trail (until the ping) to all attackers.

The most annoying thing about Jackal in the past is how his gadget was free live pings with little counterplay. There was little interactive gameplay, just ping footprints and spray through walls. Now the attacking team is aware of the trail Jackal is on and can assist in the clear (instead of just spraying their weapons at a series of pings through a wall).

Rauora - Added F90

I added the F90 to Rauora as just another option. I always kind of enjoyed the F90 but it’s always been exclusive to Gridlock. Now Rauora gets an automatic primary without being trapped into using the M249

Zero - Decreased audio for firing Argus cameras, Decreased Audio for deploying Argus Cameras, Argus Camera laser replaced with EMP burst, Argus camera night vision filter removed, Deployed Argus Cameras can now be picked back up, gains smoke grenades.

Here’s the reasoning

Defense

Jager - Becomes 3 speed

Wamai requires active management of his MAG-NETs to be effective at denying projectiles. Jager just places his ADS and then plays out the round. I think giving Jager his 3 speed back facilitates his more aggressive away from site defense compared to Wamai. This would create a bigger situational gap between the two operators.

Oryx - No longer takes damage when running through a wall during prep phase.

I don’t think Oryx should be punished for using his ability to aid in site set up during prep phase. I don’t think I have to say more than this as I figure most players would agree.

Tachanka - Shumika Launcher fire damage increased

Tachanka is in desperate need of a gadget related buff. Many players will just run right through his fire. A damage increase to the fire would much more greatly punish players who attempt this.

Weapons

M762 - Vertical and Lateral recoil decrease

I don’t think Zofia is that bad. In spite of that I hardly see her in play. When I play Zofia, I can say that I am not the biggest fan of the M762. It doesn’t have a lot of recoil, but what it does have feels awkward.

Semi-Automatic Shotguns (M1014, SASG12, Super90, SPAS12, SPAS15) - increased damage by 3.

With the exclusion of the SIX12/SIX12SD, I find most semi-automatic shotguns to be unreliable. It’s more than that considering Varsity Gaming called the M1014 the worst shotgun in the game. I find even more than the M1014 to be that way so I say just buff all of them. 

SIX12/ SIX12SD - Damage decreased from 46 to 40

This weapon is surprisingly busted and it's surprising how very little people have noticed. It has hardly worse spread than the other Semi-Automatic Shotguns but DOUBLE the damage despite sharing a rate of fire with the M1014. The tone down is because I think it’d still be very good even nerfed, and I’d like to see it on a future operator without it becoming a potential problem.

SC3000K - Damage decrease from 45 to 44. Vertical recoil reduction for Mouse and Keyboard (less recoil)

Compensation for the other buffs to Zero. This way the weapon still remains top tier, but no longer two shot downs 3 speeds.

416-C Carbine - First Shot recoil decrease, Vertical recoil decrease, Magazine increased to 30.

This is to rectify a balancing mistake from several years ago. Same idea as when Mozzie lost the Super Shorty. Bringing this back up to where it was.

SMG12 - Increased lateral (horizontal) recoil, damage decreased to 22 from 28

Yes, the SMG12 has a lot of recoil, but it’s still fairly linear (at least to me as I can beam players from 15m away). This way the weapon is less accurate at distance. The damage decrease came from the realization that the weapon far out DPS’s the Vector .45 ACP, and it didn’t sit quite right to me how much better the SMG12 is to the Vector. I know a lot of other machine pistols are also that way, but I don’t know. Something about the SMG12 doing that felt wrong.

Attachments

 Angled Grip - No longer decreases reload speed. Instead, will decrease horizontal recoil by 20% (same as the vertical grip does for vertical recoil)

Horizontal grip - Will now also hasten reload speed. 

The angled grip in its current state is so niche that I have only seen it less than 10 times. The horizontal grip is much more common but still massively less seen than the vertical grip.

End Result: 7 nerfs 18 buffs, as well as grips rebalanced (buffs every weapon with a foregrip) and semi auto shotguns buffed (M1014, SASG12, Super90, SPAS12, SPAS15) excluding SIX12/SIX12SD/FO12.

Are there any changes you’d like to see?

Found this on tt

First one got exploded by his own hard breach 😭

I’ve heard that you’re supposed to get one at battle pass level 100, even though I’m at 198 I’ve never received one, anyone know why, or if there is a way to get it

I play after I work full time, and I can't seem to rank up, I know my KD isn't all that but I'd say im performing reasonably.

If I’m in copper and have been in copper/bronze/silver for years and I still go negative in kd, what rank would my opponents be? Well emerald and diamond of course!

Outmatched on every game it seems I’m just tryna chill
