Rainbow Six Seige

I play terrorist hunt mostly because of latency yes. Please add me on uplay: pjjroux
 
Another random item is that it actually supports lan play.
 
They have already released the third patch for the game with the first free map and free operators arriving at the beginning of February.
 
I'm loving this game so much. The lag is barely noticeable...actually i can't notice it. 200ms to NEU.

The lag is a definite disadvantage to us ZA folk, but there is a lot of other stuff you can do tactically that is more important to helping your team and getting frags. I'm undecided about recommending the game though. 200ms is enough you cost you a lot of one on one encounters, if you are facing each other.

Spent a few months away from the game and ObitalDawn has a point (about falling behind and it being annoying), the players are much better now and some get quite aggro about players not at their level. Played with some rather toxic team members randomly this weekend, and one took particular exception to me being South African. He threw a few anti-South African / anti-African insults my way as well as making monkey sounds :erm:... not sure if it will do any good but I must still report that d1ckhead to Ubisoft.

It never used to be like this! It really spoils the game, the constant bickering in chat and F-bombs being dropped left right and centre :mad:
 
What platform do you play and is it ranked or casual. I can't say that I have experienced on PC but people sometimes to get a but grumpy over the peaking advantage our ping gives us even though the forget that it works the other way around as well.
 
Thinking of it what are your user names so that I can add you to my player list?

Ranked, playing mostly with Silver league players I would guesstimate (I take more notice of their level, perhaps mistakenly so).

Btw, why would we get a peeking advantage for having a high ping? If anything, we have less of a peeking advantage due to high ping, in fact Serenity17 said average human reaction time is about 180ms and if so, we have zero advantage due to peeking, it's more like levelling the playing field.

Takealot pre-order @R500 (1 December 2015 launch date) but I got it for R400 after using a R100 discount voucher. It's currently R345 at Raru (out of stock).

It works both ways since there is technically a 200ms delay between us doing something and them knowing about it, works the other way around as well. That 200ms is long enough to round a corner aim and fire which given the 1 head shot mechanic means instant death.
 
How did you guys get this game in ZA? I can't get it via Steam... it doesn't appear on my games list on Steam when I search for it.
On UBI - it's too expensive.
 
Complete overhaul of the current game meta in this patch and some nice changes.

The Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition provides access to the full Rainbow Six Siege game with all content available: modes, maps, weapon options, level progression, post-launch content, servers and matchmaking options.

The main difference from the Standard Edition of the game is how you will unlock the 20 original Operators.

You will unlock instantly:

2 Operators at random from a pool of the most intuitive operators at entry level: Rook, Sledge, Ash, Fuze, Mute, and Smoke. The selection is made so that we can guarantee a great Rainbow Six Siege experience from the start.
600 R6 Credits to spend on either 2 additional Operators (300 R6 Credits each) or other additional content


Unlock the remaining Original Operators (GIGN, SAS, GSG9, SPETSNAZ, FBI)

- It requires 12,500 Renown or 300 R6 Credits to unlock 1 Operator

- It takes approx. 15 hours to unlock 1 operator using in-game Renown



Access to all Post-Launch Operators (JTF2, Navy SEALs and upcoming CTUs):

- It requires 25,000 Renown or 600 R6 Credits to unlock 1 Operator

- The Season Pass (sold seperately) immediately unlocks all Post-Launch Operators



Any progression and Operators unlocked in the Starter Edition will carry over to the Standard Edition.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege invites you to master the art of destruction. Intense close quarters battle, tactics, team play and explosive action are at the center of the experience.

Anyone jamming on PS4? PM me some time of you wanna hook up. I'm more of a casual gamer but just can't get enough of Siege in the little time I have (recently moved from PC to PS4).

Best fps in recent years. Btw it's on promotion on PSN atm. Game and SP available around R300 each.
