The game keeps randomly stuttering after the last update despite my FPS being silky smooth 144 100% of the time. What gives? I think I may have seen a flashing yellow icon during stutters, but can't decide if it was real or just my schizophrenia acting up

>>1444920
It's real.
Usual Ubi incompetence fuckery.
CoreRoss claimed in his first test server video that he was getting stutters on a 4090.
Try whichever API you're not currently on (DX11/12), see if it helps.
As a vulkan refugee, I chose DX11, it's okay so far.

What if, in order from left to right: Tumorao, Bandit and Thermite?

did they just forget about siege cup?

>>1447724
Idk but there are so many questions. Elephant in the room of course is rampant cheating in ranked. How will that be dealt with? They clearly lack the ability to identify cheaters outright. Are they going to have live admins spectating cup matches? Seems a huge ask of their constantly waning commitment to the game. Are there going to be restrictions placed on "Pro" players, even lower B/C-tier players? It would seem redundant to introduce Siege Cup, seemingly for "normal," players, but then have Pros come in and dominate with their stacks.

>>1447817
Siege cup is going to be a fucking joke just like Ranked 2.0 is. Last night in ranked I was literally fighting a three-time Champ on the enemy team and I'm a lifetime Plat 1 player. Granted, I held my own against them and didn't finish the LOST match with a negative k/d, but it's not fun to fight focused, hyper-sweaty Champs while my team is uncoordinated and we don't have any Champs ourselves.

Ubisoft ain't doing shit right, chief. Don't get your hopes up.

>>1447826
And also: If I'm fighting Champs as a lifetime Plat 1 player, is my hidden MMR at Champ/Diamond level? How the fuck does this shit even work??

>>1447829
No, equivalent MMR on teams is not a requirement to matchmake a lobby, simple as. Look at the history of top 100 players for proof. There will be insane mismatches sprinkled in. It's nothing devious on the players' part, it's just the matchmaking Ubi allows.

>>1447829
Nobody knows. And while >>1447834 is also a decent answer, the unfortunate fact of the matter is that your "true" hidden MMR ranking is only known to Ubisoft. You can sort of estimate what rank you might belong at based on ease of RP gain, but you'll never know exactly where the ranking system has envisioned you belonging at since the start of the season.

map knowledge, enemy position knowledge (common pushes / holds), game sense: timing, patience (when to swing and when not to), your positioning, rat lurking.
stop engaging head-to-head battles of reaction / mechanical aim skill. shooting at an unaware / distracted (gadgets, utility, coordinated pinch) enemy swings gunfight heavily in your favor.

>>1449558
oh and crosshair placement. this skill is independent from mechanical aim skill / flick reaction ability. your crosshair (the center of your screen) should be at operator head height ready for engagement >75% of the time. your crosshair should be trained at angles / peeks (the edge of a doorway you are approaching, the stairs you are going up). randomly looking at the floor, walls, or just the random middle of an empty room is not good crosshair placement. this may seem like an obvious concept, but many players have poor crosshair placement. if your crosshair is trained well, you simply ADS, shoot, and win. if it's not placed well, then you rely on reaction time and mechanical skill to, under pressure of an engagement, flick your mouse accurately away from where it was onto opponent's body / head, a difficult task especially if you are not mechanically gifted.

>>1449558
Talk in mic and be nice but not weird (just make callouts and say good job)
Make friends with people and form a stack, then do what they do. Don't be weird.
Whenever you get killed by someone you didn't expect make a mental note of how they did it. Whenever you see someone get a kill in a way you didn't expect make a note of it.
Play quick match and take note of where every reinforcement is because those are the most common spots for every site.

Just keep doing that a lot. I usually sit around a .95 k/d but my aim and reflexes are so bad I'm a bigger danger to my team than the enemy.

i guess this "tip" isn't really explicitly mentioned a lot but it's worth going into, stick to easy guns. if you're struggling with gunfights and have poor gun skill, and you're playing like: Hibana, Twitch F2, Ela, Alibi, you're fucking yourself over. these are operators with difficult-to-control guns. all it takes is you going to shooting range, firing full auto (how most players realistically engage) at the 30m away dummy. watch how many bullets you're missing if full auto'ing at the still dummy's head. now tack on you moving, the enemy moving, lean mechanics, and it being a real gunfight with obstacles / other things going on, and you get an idea of why you are losing gunfights, your bullets are simply whizzing by the target.

Did they nerf her? Maybe I'm just used to it but her smg feels easy as hell.

For me it's short of the cut for "The Good Kind of" High-Recoil. It's a bit unstable horizontally for longer distance, but no doubt it shreds close-medium range. I'd say on the whole it probably is more friendly to handle than Vector .45 or SMG-11, but it doesn't have the "natural headshot," recoil.

Fuck off to ranked with this shit, for fuck's sake. My k/d which usually floats between 1.6 and 2 has been just over 1 this season.

>>1449952
Eh I'd say it's partly the trickle-down effects of systemic cheating. Champ players hit their rank at beginning of season (when the cheats weren't online yet), they then say screw Ranked and go into QM / Unranked. Cheats have been back in full force now though, and along with cheats are all the kiddos making a buck with boosting services, leveling up new cheat accounts, etc. which centers around Ranked gameplay. People absolutely still cheat in QM / Unranked, but there is less actual incentive, and so for a good chunk of people it's the escape to play "real" lobbies. If they aren't braindead players that want to play CoD in Siege, or they are stacks, they're gonna play "sweaty." Can't really blame the players, hate the game (the inherent weaknesses of Siege's engine which makes it vulnerable to cheats, and Ubisoft's inability to curb them).

>>1449952
Have you tried droning?

>>1449990
No and I'll never drone in casual because I'm not a massive faggot. I'll quickpeek you and if you don't react in time it's over.

I’ll give it a shot, ty. Also is it just me or does nobody talk in this game? Do players only use mics at higher ranks or something?

So we're getting a new R6 Siege game...
announcement at Invitational or at S4 panel?

>>1450313
>does nobody talk in this game?
Totally random if you are solo queuing. Some lobbies can be talkative as hell both in all-chat and team mics, some are quiet. Even at higher Champ MMR, there are players who don't say shit. Generally though I'd say comms are more relevant in Gold+ Ranked lobbies. People below that level often don't even know proper callouts to be helpful: "UH DUDE DUDE HE'S OVER THERE UHHH WHERE I DIED BRO OVER THERE TURN AROUND" versus "Wamai in coat check"

and goes without saying quick match / unranked will have even less people "seriously" making callouts
>>1450315
considering it'd be a big announcement, probably SI

>>1450313
People usually don't talk unless someone else talks first, but it's more common the higher rank you are

>>1449558
>>1450313
I have 6 simple, condensed, generalized tips for you that can make you a better player almost immediately if you practice them enough:
1. Load up the practice range. Pick the R4C/SMG-11 and work on getting consistent headshots. Do this for as long as you'd like.
2. Learn how to quick peek or shaaiko peek, and continually practice doing that in almost every match.
3. Learn what pixel peeks are, and how to hold them.
4. Always aim at around head height, and almost always stay aiming down the sights when you push someone.
5. Swing someone before they swing you.
6. If you think you're about to get shit on by someone with better gun skill and they're probably going to swing you first, PRONE and spray them. Don't forget proning exists in Siege like an idiot!

I've solo-queued to Emerald multiple times, and I incorporate these mechanical tips myself in my gameplay. Good luck, bro.

Ubisoft is currently working on a new game.

Codename : Rainbow Six Atom

This name is possibly for now just a placeholder and is subject to change.

Y10 is called Siege X

>>1453827
How or what does this change about previous leaks claiming Ubi is about to do a CS2 to siege?
Okay, that question is somewhat retarded, is this atom thing the siege 2 that was speculated previously?

>>1453832
>How or what does this change about previous leaks claiming Ubi is about to do a CS2 to siege?
We'll never know really. Could be a separately purchaseable campaign given those leaked voice-lines, so it might be more akin to OW2, but it's impossible to know and we likely won't know anything more until a new R6 update or build drops that'll include some more code leftovers

Why does this new end-game screen make my GPU want to explode? 6800 XT.
I'll be just chilling in the game, play the whole match hovering between 60-65c despite the action going on, and then the end game screen comes along, with 5 operators standing still against a pretty much static background, and it just spikes to 80, sometimes more.
What gives?

>>1454580
Even previous end game screen (operators together) always made my system draw more power. The optimization is shitty and it's Ubi's fault.

I would prefer them work on Siege 2 instead of just reworking Siege. The game is too bloated with operators and bad maps.

I took a break for awhile and the game is in a significantly worse state than when I left.

>>1453286
I hate that Ubi removed all of the counters to shields. You used to have trap operators that were actually effective and now your only real option is "run and pray your teammates aren't useless."

>>1457033
>Ubi removed all of the counters to shields
All the same disorient / trap operators have their use. It's more that the current melee interaction and mechanics still skew in favor of the shield. Too long an invulnerability window where they simply ram you down with sprint and melee. I thought Ubi would address it heavier going into season but they didn't.

Shields kill any fun the game has to offer.

Trap operators? Slow them but can't really kill. C4? The operator only has to look vaguely in the direction of the C4 to make it worthless. Shoot them in the back? Monty/Clash are both covered from 360 degrees of shooting. Shoot them in the shoulder/feet? It takes 3 bullets minimum to kill and because of hitboxes/lag compensation you're lucky if one hits before they're on top of you.

Get rid of some maps, maybe, but definitely not characters. That's just not how these kinda games work.
Even if siege 2 is a thing, it's the overwatch kind of """sequel""". Anything, that can act as a source of income gets ported over 1/1.
Honestly, I'm fine with the current roster, and super fucking glad the days where we got 8 operators a year are over.

Maybe Twitch Italy works differenly, but here Prime subs are "detatched" and different from regular subs (which I never used btw). You have to manually renew after 1 month has passed, by selecting a checkmark below the subs tab

Holy fucking hell. Trying to improve my shield play in QM was overall a disaster. Some rounds go great, but way too often I am getting gangbanged by 3+ enemies, and once I'm dead, cut to spectating 3+ of my teammates in BUMFUCK NOWHERE, either not even in the building, not contesting ANYONE or hiding in some random fucking room watching NOTHING while I get RAILED. Fucking MOVE when you hear the commotion of 3 motherfuckers shooting up my shit you dumb fucks. They're distracted, now is the time to move. Not 30 seconds after my death when everything is quiet as a mouse and it's obvious as fuck where you're coming from. Rant over.

>>1468264
Friendly advice: don't bring shields to QM if you don't want to get shat on. The moment I hear/see a shield, I put my unwashed sweatlord hat on and shit all over that shield.

I welcome it. I'm playing to improve my mastery over the various aspects of shield play, so I need opponents to challenge me. Just ranting about the team, which of course is dumb to do in QM anyways. But do these fuckers have brains? Like it's to their advantage to sneak up and kill one of these enemies completely exposing their position, concerned with me, dumping out their mags. You don't need to drone, I'm the drone motherfucker come shoot these people.
When I'm a gun and someone is Monty, you can be sure as shit I'm in position waiting for the sound of bullets on the shield, because that's great intel to fry an enemy. Alas...

As for attackers I just go thermite every time now unless the site is somewhere that doesn't rly need thermite then Idk what to pick. I had a few really good like textbook good defuse denial rounds with capitao, shooting fire bolts to play for time, which was cool-- but rarely do i get the chance for teamwork so idt i will play capitao too much.

nvm im deranking back into copper

Post some of your favorite unorthodox counters to enemy tactics, that you sometimes use.
I'll start with picrel, as a way of dealing with a Bandit. Especially nice since the claymore buff. Can be pulled off without yourself dying, you just need to position better than I do here.

>>1476135
A tactic you don't really see anymore is going from above/below to counter the walls. I feel like it's not used anymore because Ubi have slowly lowered the amount of destroyable walls in the game. The new maps especially are like 90% unbreakable.

Yacht has been out of the rotation for a long time and Plane has always been a joke map.

You have got to be fucking kidding me, man. Before this season, I've soloed to mid/high Plat. This season, after facing Champs, Diamonds, and possible cheaters, the matchmaker has forced me to be hardstuck at Gold 2 due to a 5 game losing streak.

Here is the biggest issue I have with Ranked 2.0: After the 5 game losing streak that demoted me to Gold 3, I went on a 6 game winning streak that promoted me BACK to Gold 2. And guess what? Despite me proving my worth with a huge win streak, the matchmaker doesn't give a flying fuck and decided to give me equal RP gain and loss.

BECAUSE OF ONE DEMOTION AT THE WRONG TIME THE RP SYSTEM SAYS "FUCK YOU" AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

How is this fair to solo players?? Who at Ubisoft came up with this shit?

K/D doesn't matter.
Solo queue dicks anyone. You have to be very good and/or lucky to overcome random, uneven matchmaking.

>>1477217
Holy shit it's legitimately painful to see you've made it to Diamond multiple times with a K/D of 0.84-0.88. That gives me a bizarre level of hope, but I only want to hit Emerald and then I'm gonna quit ranked for good lmao.

What's your secret, oh Diamond-one? Am I just retarded?

>>1477266
Also, something that gives me massive pause: your winrate for Twin Shells is only 00.7% higher than mine, but you hit Diamond? That's definitely because you've hit Diamond before, so what's your general strategy on Attack and Defense? Does it all just come down to luck and timing?

Yes. MMR from previous seasons carries over. You have to take a massive dive in how you play to not your previous season's rank with the appropriate amount of matches played. Stats are deceiving though and any real player knows this. If you actually go against a lot of cheaters, your rank is "saved," by refunded RP, your stats are not refunded (K/D and WR). Impactful versus impactless kills, etc.
>what's your general strategy on Attack and Defense?
Adapt, especially if solo queue. Say I bring drone ops Brava / Twitch, 30 seconds in 3 of my team is dead. Well I know these retards are rushing in, so fuck drones, gun up and get inside the building, lurk, and win my 1s on Jackal or a 3-speed. If team doesn't go hard breach on a site where it's near essential, fuck it I'm hard breach duty, etc. Defense usually aggro lurk, obviously keeping tabs on site to make sure it's not totally empty (then droned, then flooded by enemies). I'm also a solid sentry player, so holding down power positions where enemies commonly push (Bank server / blue, Villa brown stairs / main, etc.) and thwart anyone wanting to push. Play your part and win, identify weakness / gap and fill it.

A WORD ABOUT BALLISTIC SHIELDS IN Y9S4
With the shield update released in Y9S1 we've seen an encouraging evolution of shield usage overall. They have more impact and are a more relevant option than before.

However we do not want them to become an overly oppressive solution for attackers and with those season's learning we will be tuning them for Y9S4 to reinforce their support role.

OPERATOR BALANCING
IANA
Iana should help reduce the reliance on Drones. However, unlike Drones, which are smaller and more elusive, the Gemini Replicator is too easy to detect and destroy.

The primary advantage of using the Gemini Replicator is that it doesn't result in resource loss when destroyed. However, 30-seconds cooldown can be quite restrictive, potentially limiting its use to just a few times per round, which may not feel impactful enough. To address this, we are reducing the cooldown time for when it is destroyed, allowing it to be used more frequently to assist in droning yourself or your teammates.

GEMINI REPLICATOR
Cooldown (when destroyed): Reduced to 20 seconds (from 30).

JACKAL
Removing the distortion effect when being shot would enable Jackal to use his Eyenox more effectively, making it easier to track enemies even in high-pressure situations. This change would allow him to provide more consistent intel to his team by keeping the visor active for longer periods.

We believe the distortion doesn't serve as an effective counter but rather makes the visor less user-friendly. Therefore, we view this adjustment as a quality of life improvement rather than a substantial buff. Actively following tracks with the visor is an enjoyable aspect of its gameplay, and we aim to make this experience more comfortable for players.

EYENOX MODEL III
Removed visor distortion when getting shot.

KALI
In addition to the changes to the CSRX 300 detailed below, we are also equipping Kali with a set of Smoke Grenades. This new option is intended to assist her in relocating with some concealment or to strategically funnel defenders into her line of sight by obstructing their vision from other angles.

LOADOUT
Gadgets: Added Smoke Grenades.

MOZZIE
Mozzie's ability to capture 3 drones is already quite significant, potentially making him more effective than Valkyrie. However, this potential is rarely realized due to drones being destroyed or the difficulty in quickly securing captures, which can make him feel less impactful than Mute. To make this potential more achievable, we are increasing his resources.

We also aim to encourage more active drone hunting. With only 3 Pests, there's limited flexibility between pre-placing them and keeping them for a future use. We hope that additional resources will provide more flexibility, making him interact more with his gadget during the Action Phase.

Additionally, the Impact Grenades will enhance his mobility, enabling him to roam the map faster more effectively using the intel gathered from his captured drones.

PEST LAUNCHER
Maximum resources: Increased to 4 (from 3).
LOADOUT
Gadgets: Added Impact Grenades.

ZERO
Unlike standard drones, the Argus Cameras are stationary, so they remain relevant only while the action is in their vicinity. Beyond that point, they may become less useful, which can pressure you to place them in more risky and exposed areas.

However, with the additional coverage, Zero can now place the cameras in more creative ways and less obvious locations, making them harder to spot and destroy. Even if some cameras don't see much action, he can double-down on the same area to ensure the coverage. This also means fewer blind spots, making it easier to rely on Zero's cameras for flank-watch.

Now, he can establish a network that can cover multiple flanks and key areas effectively.

ARGUS LAUNCHER
Maximum resources: Increased to 6 (from 4).

ZOFIA
We will replace Zofia's Breach Charges with Hard Breach Charges. This adjustment aims to enhance her versatility, enabling her to handle both soft and hard breaching tasks. By equipping her with Hard Breach Charges, we hope to provide teams with greater flexibility in their strategies and operator selections, fostering more creative and diverse strategies, similar to what operators like Capitão or Zero are promoting.

LOADOUT
Gadgets: Removed Breach Charges. Added Hard Breach Charges.
WEAPON BALANCING
CSRX 300
Being a Sniper in Siege presents quite a challenge. The opportunities to play from a safe and distant position are limited, making it easy for your position to be called out after the first shot. Additionally, the bullet trails of the CSRX 300 are more visible than others, complicating the efforts to remain unseen.

The reductions in duration and size will help make it safer to take a second shot from the same position. Defenders will need to pay closer attention to the trails if they wish to determine Kali's position.

BULLET TRAIL
Duration: Reduced to 1 seconds (from 2).
Size: Reduced by 75%.

Also a big point I didn't mention but is absolutely integrated in my playstyle, help your team. This is a foreign concept to many shitters, but for example.
>You are lurk roam on defense
>See teammate take damage early into round, hear multiple guns popping off
>Happening on a different part of map than you
Do you A) Carefully and efficiently rotate to go assist them with wallbang pre-fire, covering fire, or as a patient lurker wait to pounce on the converging enemies from adjacent angle.
or B) Stay watching random doorway X in your part of the map where it's dead silent.
I have no problem betting money on most sub-Plat players choosing B. And B is the dumbest decision. You are isolated, not assisting team, enemies are likely multi-droning and multi-pushing on a teammate who will die and give up that portion of map control to attack. Help. Your. Team. This opens up even the possibility of a trade, whereas if you're too separate, no matter the side atk or def, to ever trade 1 for 1. An extremely simple concept (trades) that works at any level.

Since attack is typically the harder side for most people, my tips are still branching off the idea of being adaptable. Know your team's approach. Are we full commitment roam clearing top-down Kafe or Bank? Are we doing direct site hit? Or is it slower play, phantom pressure, utility clear, and droning? Adjust to what most of your team is doing. If every person is doing a different thing, unless you all just happen to win the right gunfights at the right time (slim random chances), it's likely to crumble. Commit to a general push together. This doesn't mean bunching up and funneling in one room (also dumb in it's own way), but I think you get the idea.

> I don't have to try and prove anything, the proof is in my rank. I'm better than you, plats, and emeralds.
Nah, you've just simply got luckier than us. I guarantee if I DIDN'T solo queue, I'd hit your rank easily with a higher k/d, faggot. I only had your k/d a few times when I was new to Siege. You've had that dogshit k/d as a Siege veteran. Absolutely comical. If I can beat your k/d in a lower rank, you're only better than me in your wildest dreams lol.

Seriously: do you know how many teams would pick me up over you? Me, an Emerald with a k/d of 1.20 over you, a ""Diamond"" with a k/d of 0.84. You're a fraud, and in a real match I'd shit all over you lmao.

Not a fallacy at all whatsoever, cosmetic rank.
If you lose in a 1v1 consistently against a Gold (As your kd proves you most likely would), that Gold is better than you mechanically. I'm not even hating on you right now, I'm being serious: when's the last time you've seen a Siege vet with a kd under 1.00? Like, what the fuck? That's just weird lel. Even the WORST pro players don't have kd under 0.90, jesus.

when you go against opposition of equal skill level, not everyone goes positive. it's the way math and stats work. and the way math and stats work, i'm a superior player (diamond) to you (emerald). you play against other emeralds and shitters. i play against other diamonds and champs.

>>1478333
Canadian, one of the statistically worst kda players in R6 pro league, has a kda of 0.90. What the fuck are you even doing? If he has a kda of 0.90 in pro league, that means you'd probably have a kda of 0.60 or worse because you can't even hang in ranked, and would replace him as the worst. Hilarious.

>>1478336
You're a cosmetic rank, simple as. If the average plat player has a higher kd than you in multiple seasons, you aren't anywhere as remotely good as you think you are.

If you want to prove otherwise, let's see what your kda is after over 100 matches. If it's still under 1.00, you're just getting hardcarried by randoms.

>>1480084
> How is it in 2024? Is it worth playing again?
Yesn't. It all depends on you. But, If I had to guess: since you haven't played Siege in years, you're going to get shit on the moment you come back, especially on PC. You probably won't find it enjoyable getting dumpstered for weeks in Standard until you get your mojo back.

Oh, and of course: You're most likely gonna end up with toxic teammates raging at you and shittalking you because they treat Standard like it's Ranked and their ELO is on the line, and they won't give a flying fuck in the slightest that you haven't played in years- clutch every 1v1 you're in or that 17 year old lifetime Gold on your team will screech into your ear about how "ass" and "buns" you are.

And then, once you want to tryout Ranked sometime, you'll have to deal with the usual onslaught of stealth cheaters toggling wallhacks and Ranked 2.0's uniquely bizarre brand of dogshit matchmaking and hidden MMR that's somehow not the same as your visible MMR.

So in my opinion: You've basically shot yourself in the foot by taking such a long hiatus, and you may not enjoy current Siege.

Your choice to return or not.

Why does Ranked 2.0 actively start trying to get you hardstuck after a total of 100 matches? A sample size of 100 matches for a hardcore Siege player is relatively small. Is Ubisoft ever going to rework this? Because without fail, every single time I've played over 100 matches exactly, the matchmaker gradually starts giving RP gain and loss that is more and more equivalent, and going on huge winstreaks doesn't alleviate this.

What other competitive FPS games punish the player for competing like this after a certain duration?
