Culturally relevant, good aesthetic, amazing reference, and bonus points if you're into the other hobby (Cinophile)

I literally haven't played Siege since late summer of 2021; how does watching this video still stir some feelings of hype deep down inside me?

[@Kit.Has.]

I love that they are adding content creators in their videos

[@Raven777777777777777]

So far it seems like Siege might be worth coming back to. A lot of interesting updates apart from attachments changes, not sure what to think about that. For me reason why angled grip was useless was recoil on many weapons which only became useable with vertical grip. Not exactly sure what to think about Deimos. In releation to the story Deimos should not be attacker or defender, he should be on the 3rd team solo against everyone xD About that Brava having to drone for 2 mins its not the same with Deimos since it doesnt matter who scans the enemy so if your team drones and scans enemy you dont have to waste time later to use the gadget, in case of Brava your teammates cant really help you with dronning.

[@bcw1nc865]

Recoil in siege has been notoriously light, ads times have been too short for the tactical direction the game wants to go in. I'm glad with all the attachment changes except angled, I don't think grips should have anything to do with reload speed, maybe it could reduce hip fire spread.

[@Raven777777777777777]

@@bcw1nc865 Everybody has different take on recoil in siege and everybody prefers different weapons (not everybody plays vigil, lesion or warden for instance) and if we're talking about those attachment how does weapon grip increases movement speed? xD To me only vertical grip bonus makes sense.

[@Emire]

I think with the Year 1 and 2 bundle, they give you at least 6 operators for def and atk, right? I'm sure it prevents cheaters from just buying accounts if you haven't played in a while on that account. But I'm sure it's going to slow down the progression of bought or stolen accounts. I think in honesty it does need to be changed to 4 bought atk and def operators from year 1-8, and you have to own the entire year zero operators to play rank (Effectively you have to buy 14 operators with this logic).

The sights should have been changed in a different way but it would have taken more effort so they picked the easier choice.

That little drone tracker thing is the jankiest thing ever. Out of everything that they could have done, that's what they went with? Maybe make an actual 3D model that follows the defender around, but make it small with snappy movement. The person its tracking can't easily shoot it as it's constantly flying behind them. Therefore, you need to rely on a teammate or another piece of utility like the Mute Jammer, frozen canister-thing, etc.

I like shields in this game. I think the rework will only make them better for both sides. Just changing the meta a little bit is not bad. Can still deal with them easily on defense (except blitz) lol

[@timaragon]

People who think taking the 1.5x away is a good idea aren't prepared for the insane pixel peeks you're going to suffer from with ACOG on defense. There's a reason why ACOG was taken away from defense years ago. It's like Ubisoft don't actually understand their game or know how to balance it. The 1.5x helped enable the TDM meta but wasn't the root cause of it. It was one of the symptoms of it. Defense is stronger than ever. Just look at this Six Invitational. Defense is crazy with some of the best defender utility and operators the game has seen while attackers haven't had much to compensate. Because defenders are so strong, they just take control of the entire map and can go for kills because the bomb site has much utility. Even if the defenders are down, 3v4, it isn't that bad if you have Tubarao, Valk, Azami or Fenrir. Attackers have so much to do in clearing utility that in ranked... It's just not worth it. Instead of trying to open the wall, why not just go across the map to get picks and then flood site? The TDM meta is the result of defenders being too strong and attacker utility not keeping up.TDM meta and kills have become the path of least resistance. The 1.5x just helps the playstyle of going for kills, roaming the map and holding power positions. Taking the 1.5x is a mistake and I'm a player who tends to stick with just the holo scopes and ACOGs. They should have just made the 1.5x something everyone could have like the regular 1x scopes.

I think being humble and realizing you’re going to be really bad is a good mindset to have.
