Proper Siege - Rainbow Six Siege

Rather than highlighting a specific round or operator, I decided to highlight an overall theme within 2024 Siege.

always love how macie plays the game like it's meant to, not like some ridiculous gun game.

9:11 Who else could hear the gears turning in Kaid's head "C4" and Macie also already thinking EMP Counter.

hes done it like 100 times

I had no idea you could even do that.

[@krigom_ori]

8:20 I wonder if Osa placed her shield just as the thorn grenade exploded, the damage is blocked considering her feet are exposed when carrying it. Definitely need to test this out.

[@curtissweeney5211]

Osa shields do block thorn shrapnel as its not an explosive. I remember watching a mythbusting video when Osa came out and they confirmed it then.

[@chalexen2862]

It doesn’t matter. Any shield operators you’ll use, except for Blackbeard, will take damage reduction from the razorbloom shells. They aren’t immune. Given that Macie still has EMP impact grenades he should’ve use all of it, expecting any electronic traps behind that deployable shield.

[@fox7757]

@@chalexen2862not like he could’ve known there was a Thorn on the defender’s team. His team may have been able to warn him about Thorn traps, but I don’t think I seen them did it once. Especially the person who eliminated Thorn.

[@chalexen2862]

True. However, from what I can tell from the team scores and the attacker’s team composition it implies that they’ve kept bringing entry fraggers to the point were it provoked defenders into bringing traps. It’s the same scenario I’ve encountered when I kept bringing Blitz every round. Lesion and Frost presented above were basically the only hints.

[@cwj2733]

it’s flechettes vs ballistic glass. those flechettes win every time

[@connorblackburn201]

It’s nice watching macie play with nolimi7 because it feels like he finally has a teammate that cares about the game in the same way he does

Wait the lack of reinforcing is actually wild and concerning lol

[@relaxxzz9956]

I always play to plant the defuser. The game is so much more fun when you outbrain your enemies.

[@darksarod]

proper siege demands 10 people of the same skill level playing together in a lobby.... the gap between players is so large that good players can just play tdm and win with minimum effort.

[@Maxiter]

Proper Siege is a vibe tbh

[@yanki5818]

I feel your pain Macie... @6:07 lol worst part is that everyone has to die until the last one alive listens... or none 😂. At least for you is good content for entertainment!

Oh man the desperation “not like this” I felt that man.

[@powdercanister3000]

If you are in server room, you are geting pinged and you can't find a drone, it's in the dronehole of blue stairs most of the time.

[@davidochoa7350]

You’re not wrong. Even my friends play it like a TDM game when I’d like to be more methodical

[@TheMasterjello]

Macie "I'm Planting" Jay

[@denisyldrm7928]

true

[@lizzay6037]

I think the days of proper siege is long gone with the new generation of players. The game has shifted to tdm, and older players are being shunned for playing the game the way it was intended. No one listens to reason and facts. I truly don’t know what to do to change it. I play the game less and less now. Thanks for the tactical content it’s still appreciated.

[@MacieJay]

Happy to hear I'm not the only one feeling this way.

[@vrdubb0221]

Ooooo peek me in garage…peek me. 1v1 me….goes to plant…dies hahahha. Good work Macie!

[@andresmagana1990]

That first clip I mean what do you do? Lol. Macie is a genius when it comes to stuff like this.

[@MacieJay]

Grab the defuser and go to the other site to create as much separation as possible from Echo and his drone. Then you don't have to worry about Echo swinging you, allowing you to safely shoot the drone when planting or just keep planting, Echo can only deny the plant twice before it needs to recharge, he had over a minute left so that is an option. Echo can not run to lockers in time to deny the plant directly when sitting in servers, so it should be guaranteed to go down at the least. Post plant may not favor the Kali 100% but it's a much better chance of winning than swinging Echo directly while concussed.

[@landojr.]

@@MacieJaynobody has the brain in siege to do that unfortunately

[@AG-fv4yb]

​@@landojr. To take the bomb to the other site? They have a drone on him so they will know for certain which way he comes from and there's only two ways he can go, through site or loop around and come down stairs, as a kali why would you take a close fight like that? I know he was using the secondary but you don't even have to be super accurate with the sniper, you just have to clip an arm or a leg in some cases

[@landojr.]

@@AG-fv4yb yeah my teammates would never even think about doing that

[@AG-fv4yb]

@@landojr. how long you been playing siege bro? Did you and your buddies pick up the game more recently because I've partied up with some randoms and the common theme is they decide on one bomb site and if it fails just go for kills. It just sends like the mindset has shifted a bit no disrespect intended btw

[@wrothspring5636]

I agree. It's gotten to the point of who's smoothest brain filled team is gonna get the most kills. Actual strategist plays and holds are fading away.

[@gamecommand9421]

Macie reaction with that zofia at 4:49 was funny af.

[@sahdaddy1959]

been watching you since around 2016-2017, i'm just returning to siege after not playing since 2019 and it's genuinely insane how much different the game is now. i took a very long break from all things siege, including content as well, and coming back to it now is just.. so jarring. i was a high plat/mid diamond player in original siege, and the last thing you said about it feeling like tdm is spot on. there's no more post-plant team set-ups, there's no true coordination in operators being picked, it just feels like a more "tactical" overwatch at this point. the amount of rounds i've won since returning simply out of being the last person alive and holding a BASIC ass angle is insane. all in all, i love your content macie, you're the content creator i've always enjoyed watching in siege - maybe kix gives you a run for your money :') #BringBackOpHealthSiege

[@AG-fv4yb]

It's funny you put bring back op health Siege because that was the operation I made diamond in back in the day lol the other thing that is killing siege is xim at least on console since I played on Xbox. Can't back this past season and didn't do too bad, tactical siege still works fairly well but I'm airways forced to play hard breacher since no one else does but if I don't see anyone that can get mute, bandit or kaid I'll switch to capitao and breach an off angle only to have a good plant spot totally wasted since it's now team death match

[@sahdaddy1959]

@@AG-fv4yb i’ve always played on pc, so i can’t really speak on the xim situation lol. i just see the night and day difference between how siege was played and is played now

[@AG-fv4yb]

@@sahdaddy1959 it's rough bro, my buddy's quit playing surge again because of it. We got to plat pretty easily and then we were just running into xims damn near every match it felt like. There was no shame either, or suspicions were anyways confirmed with the crouch spam that is very obviously only done with mnk

[@followthewolves1991]

I agree. I dont quite know when but the game changed from a semi-tatical shooter with atleast some level of realism to a more generic feeling hero shooter-esque game with cops instead of super heroes, perhaps it was around the time they started adding those no risk, one click abilities(Finka, Lion, Etc). Those elements that made Siege unique are just a shell of what they use to be.

[@sahdaddy1959]

@@followthewolves1991 never forget when pengu and the rest of g2 all said ubisoft needed to stop making operators that force you to play a specific way. no operator should ever force you to do anything

What a man! Still finding new ways to stick to "Classic Siege" or "Proper Siege" as you say so well. I can hear the disdain in your voice when you say (implicitly and explicitly) nobody plays Siege at its full potential and treat it just like an arcade shooter, when it is so much deeper than that. I will be there if and when you decide to stick with a new game, waiting for you to surpass every expectation of the community. Love you Macie!

I remember old Siege where every single person on defense just stayed on site and no one roamed at all and just hid there waiting.

[@andrewscocozza4340]

Just got back into the game after a few years off and I get the “proper siege frustration”. I’m an Xbox player so I could only imagine how much of a tdm fest ranked on pc is. Funny enough, in a lot of casual lobbies on Xbox, it’s so nostalgic seeing everyone on attack slowly sweeping the building and moving together lol. It’s not every match but I love playing like that even if it’s not the most effective

[@zGoldenHawk]

it is the most effective literally everyone roams u can get a couple picks just from actively sweeping rooms of roamers

[@joaobarroso5811]

I returned to siege some weeks ago I'm currently silver II and I hate it. It's absolute mayhem, no one tries to plant, no one is patient when at a numerous advantage, no one holds their ground. They're always trying to frag and hunt down everyone, it's definitely like a deathmatch...

[@happyhealsgaming7614]

EH, understand your condolences there. When I Started siege it felt more "Tactical", like you kinda had people who worked towards working reletively tactically to get the angle on your enemy to win, AND go for objectives. But these days it's just run-and-gun. Just go in, shoot shoot shoot, get head shot, get that adrenaline rush. And it's becomes so much of a focus, that I've now come across more players who: - Rush in, die, leave. - Don't get a single kill in a round, leave. - Be the last 1 standing. Leaves cause they haven't even gone into the building yet. - Be the last 2 Standing. Leaves cause it's a 2 vs 4 and they don't want to put in effort cause they know they can't run and gun.
