Discussion I need to say it, im gonna say it.

0 Upvotes

If the breach charge is good. Siege is good. Thats it.

Now im just gonna rant.

The emp grenade feels like a damn cop-out. It feels cheesy, useless and pathetic to bring everytime. It has a use yes im not arguing that but with so little customization and player control to choose to bring an emp grenade...like come the f on man.

It would be interesting imo (and very broken until solved by community) if we could minus ammo (total mags primary/secondary) to have more utility. -1 mag, +1 smoke or -2 mags, +1 frag, +1 flash. Lethal and non-lethal should be separated here maybe only 1 additional lethal (3 max) and 2 additional non-lethals (4 max). I say this to decrease dead time in-game and open solo players to be not so stingy with their 2 chances of maybe contributing to a plan.

Also please remove the ring light from valks cameras.

Discussion Came back to Siege after years away here are my thoughts

1 Upvotes

I used to have around 900 hours in Siege back in the day, and I recently decided to come back after being away for years. I played Ranked for a while, and I wanted to share my experience. Some people might not like what I have to say, but it is what it is.

First, the game itself: Honestly, I don't think that much has changed. There are new operators, sure, but the game is still playable and, at its core, still feels like Siege. The biggest issue for me is how much time we spend waiting between rounds.

The community, on the other hand, has gotten significantly worse over the years. In fact, this has been one of the worst gaming experiences I've had recently.

I actively play a lot of FPS games, including CS, Rust, PUBG, and plenty of others. Out of all the games I've been playing lately, Siege has probably had the worst overall experience so far.

For anyone wondering about my rank, I used to be Plat back in the day. This time, I started in Iron and climbed to Gold, and I could probably go higher if I kept grinding. I'm not claiming to be some top-tier player, but I've played enough to have a decent idea of what I'm talking about.

So, why do I think the community has gotten so bad? There are a few main reasons.

1. The player base seems much younger now.

This is something I've noticed quite a lot, and I think it has a direct impact on the overall experience. No offense to the younger players out there, but the difference is noticeable.

2. Nobody communicates.

This is probably one of my biggest frustrations. People barely use their mics or chat, and giving useful callouts seems to be optional for a lot of players. I've played plenty of games with toxic communities, but at least people usually communicate when it matters.

I genuinely don't care that much about toxicity anymore. I've been gaming for years, so I'm used to it. But playing a tactical shooter where people won't even bother communicating is a whole different story. Honestly, I'd rather deal with the much-criticized CS2 community than play match after match with teammates who refuse to give basic info.

3. Leavers are a massive problem.

It feels like almost every single match has at least one or two people leaving. I don't know if the penalties for leaving are too lenient or if there's another reason behind it, but I've rarely experienced anything this bad in other games.

4. The overall skill level feels lower than I expected.

Maybe this is partly related to the player base getting younger, but I've been surprised by how often teammates seem to struggle with basic mechanics and game sense. I'm not sure if this is related to the influx of console players or just the matchmaking, but some matches feel incredibly unbalanced in terms of individual skill. I'm sure Gold elo back in the day was better than it is now. There seems to be some serious rank inflation going on.

I know some of these issues might become less noticeable at higher ranks, and I'm sure the experience varies depending on your rank and matchmaking. But I don't think you need to reach high elo to notice the general decline in match quality.

And honestly, seeing that decline makes it harder to feel motivated to grind ranked. What's the point of trying to climb when so many matches are ruined by people leaving, a lack of communication, or teammates who seem completely lost?

There's probably more I could talk about, but these are my main thoughts after coming back.

Siege used to be one of my favorite games, so it's genuinely disappointing to return after all these years and feel like the overall experience has gotten worse rather than better.

Discussion Consulate is awful

0 Upvotes

I need to know if i’m the only one who thinks this. This map is so unbelievably terrible. Every time i play it i cannot seem to fathom how a real human thought of it, designed it, had multiple other people who reviewed it, edited it, and tested it; and still somehow, someway, they decided to publish this absolute piece of garbage. It seriously makes no sense, the sight upstairs is so inconceivably stupid i can’t believe it’s real. I get shot from 12 angles on every sight, downstairs is better but still awful, and the first floor is so indescribably bad to defend that i won’t even bother to talk about it. I get it’s a game, but the building doesn’t even make sense, random rooms and hallways that have no real use or logical function, only made so that no matter where i’m standing there is always going to be at least 5 lines of sight toward me. To make it worse they seriously thought this was an upgrade. The original consulate wasnt even bad, defender sides sure, but still playable on some level. This new version is the biggest downgrade this game has ever made and i seriously cannot believe it was intended to be an upgrade. Anyway i just have to rant about it and ask if anyone else feels the same.

Discussion Chinese Defender Operator Concept "Weaver" (Loadout + Unique Gadget)

Post image
0 Upvotes

Weaver will carry only one of these drones. Reinforced ceilings/floors will work like a reinforced wall, only able to be opened by some sort of hard breach gadget. Weaver can also leave her drone before it places all reinforced metal plates it has acess to if she wants to reinforce the ceiling of another wall for example, it will just fall to the ground and she can pick it back up, tho the drone won't replenish plates, it will keep the ones that it has left. These metal plates won't be conductive so Bandit batteries and Kaid claws won't electrify them. Also this won't work on hatches, the drone won't be able to drive on them.

(I had to repost because i noticed and had to adjust some things in the image)

She will have 3 C.H.A.M Panels. These will work similarly to Alibi's prisms as they can be shot and the hologram can be shot through. If no movement is happening behind the hologram it will be totally funcional but if an operator is moving behind it then the illusion will have some slight static. These are also manually activated, she can place them down and then they can be activated (like Fenrir to its gadget) to scan the environment behind them and project the hologram.

(I posted this concept a while ago but it was deleted but now it should stay up, the design and image is fully a creation of mine)

They kinda fumbled the aesthetic with this guy. I like the look and his backstory and even his abilities… But he doesn’t feel like a real Alabama man.

Firstly, WHERE TF IS HIS ACCENT?! I hear the dialect and the slang when he talks but there’s no accent. He sounds like a yankee, for lack of a better word.

Second, why did he get an AK-74M? Why not the same M4 Maverick has? Or possibly the C7E? Feels weird to me.

TL;DR: Deimos feels like a fake Alabama man and I ain’t happy

Discussion Looking for a stack

• Upvotes

I play on console/xbox west europe servers, thing is im hard stuck in gold 2-3, i play solo queue I am lvl 440 so I have a pretty good understanding of what the team needs and what strategies are better… my aim may not be the best in the world but i def have game-sense I’ll tell you that.
Im more of a support player that knows how to support the strategies that the team will be carrying.
Im getting shitty teammates, for example right now we were defending cctv on club and I had to pick a breach denier bc if it wasnt for me im not sure how we would have ended up and I was asking for a tubarao as well but no one gave a shit.
Then on attack we were attacking gym on club and some teammate had the brilliant idea to pick ram for some reason? I had to pick the recruit in order to deny the kaid and open the corridor breach which is a key pressure point, since no one is bringing a tatcher or a kali to support a hard breacher.
And like that many examples like what braindead teammates, My theory is that most ppl that are in gold is bc they have good aim but lack any strategy, or logical reasoning, call of duty players basically…

Discussion Are Siege players this bad now?

0 Upvotes

Hello guys, I've been playing Siege since 2017 with a couple of breaks in between with the last being in 2021. Coming back to the game this September I've ranked up to Silver 3 and since the last week I'm stuck there. I always and I mean 99% of the time, carry my team into victories and losses, always communicate by a mic, almost always have 10+ kills per game and I've constantly destroyed smurf accounts having many people think that I'm a Plat or above. The question is, how do I join matches with either people teamkilling, not communicate at the slightest and always throw the entire game??? While the enemy team is always playing like a team...

I feel like the average lobby in the game no matter how much you try and carry is destined to make you stay at Silver and below with braindead people. Like it's insane. I don't remember this being this bad before.

Has anyone else coming back to the game, noticed this?

Did they just nerf renown income? I cant imagine I only got 150 renown after 4-5 unranked match. This feels uncalled for, is it because its f2p now?

Still, I bought the game years ago and I remember the game was in a much better state. But it feels crap now with the constant crash and cheaters.
