Rainbow 6

[haldarulon]

Any of you guys play Rainbow 6?

[Domo]

PC version aye. IGN is Skoir

[DMcGuigan]

PC version here too, I've put a fair amount of time into it so far, think I'm the lowest level in our group at 35.

 

Just unlocked my last operator and building up renown to buy the two Canadian Operators when they drop. 25k each o.O

[LiamH]

I play on PC, US matchmaker though.

 

Enjoying it a lot, only rank 21 at the moment.

[LiamHaith]

I have it on Xbox one, but no-one to play it with

We've got a couple of guys at 68/60 now, can't keep up with them! We win a fair amount, we've got a good group, about 11 of us now I think.. we just rotate out who's available to play and as one jumps out another jumps in.

Started in Ranked last night. They won a fair few without me, we lost the only match I was in

 

Ahem.

 

Okay, so teeeeechnically YOU'RE the lowest in the group, but you've only played once, so we don't count you yet. Anyway, we'll have a level one as of tonight, so you're losing your title.

I picked up the season pass last night, wanted the extra challenges, and now I don't need to save 25k per operator for the new drops, so all my renown can go on Skins.

[LiamH]

I like what they have done with the season pass for this game. None season pass people still get the extra maps and operators just a week later/increased cost which i can live with.

 

I hate it when games split the player base with extra buy in maps and game modes.

I haven't had a spare moment to play anything this week.

[haldarulon]

it may be the first game i have ever thought about buying a season pass

 

How did you get to such a high level if you only played once?

If that was aimed at me, I've only played 2 ranked matches, but I've played 60 matches in Casual, if aimed at @CAM - he played for one night, played a few matches though.

 

Won my first ranked match last night, overtime 3-3 to win it 5-3.. took the best part of an hour. Nobody ever expects Glaz to be played seriously in CQC P:

 

Ranked is tense though! More tactical too, no kill cams, select spawn points AND camera spawn locations.. more to it than I was expecting.

 

 

Probably be a slow Siege weekend for me though, I've got a Division beta to play :D

[Domo]

I've played quite a few ranked matches in a 5 man team, I got ranked at silver 3 i think, Though the ranking system is absolute trash right now haha xD

Glaz is fairly good paired with an Ash who can blow windows out from far away

 

What's your guys favourite operator then?

Bandit is my favourite, Shock wire stops those drones so easily and his MP7 is OPOPOP

[DMcGuigan]

Glaz for attacking, my usual groups all know where I am at all times so they use me as backup. They bring targets to me, and I introduce them to Mr Rifer Sniple.

 

Doc for defense, I tend to stay on the objective for the revives, but I can roam with the MP5 if required.

[CAM]

Level 13 now.

 

Had some really tense games last night. Creeping along the top of Air Force One, breach charges down, Fuze clusters through the ceiling then boom and charging the room with the objective for a shock assault.

[LiamH]

Unlocked Frost this week (no season pass) really enjoying her play style. Both her weapons are nice and you can set up some great traps with her welcome mats.

[GuyJD]

Really disappointed there is no split screen couch co-op in this game like previous R6 games, was really looking forward to playing it with the mrs, at least I noticed in the shop and not once I'd got it home.

Its pretty much purely multiplayer, aside from 10 or so "situation" training missions and a player(s) vs AI terrorist hunt.

[DMcGuigan]

Latest patch changed all of our ranks around again, got ranked Gold 1 after my first few games then got reset to Silver 2, got to work my way back up

I've had some good fun using Buck, that Skeleton Key's pretty powerful, slapped it on the auto and just go to town. Key a hole in the door and follow up with a few rounds into the back of some poor soul's head.

We normally have someone pick Bandit once they see a Frost in a defense round. Trap goes down, wire goes on it, bandit trap in the wire. Shocking results

Some of the placements are great, can't see them under a window, can't see them on opposite sides of deployable cover.. I keep falling for the ones that are in odd places, just to the left of doors for example. You'd never expect there to be something there, move around to get a better shot at the door and *snap* no legs.

is it split screen AI terrorist hunt? I'd be happy with that at least.

No idea on consoles, I doubt it though.

[haldarulon]

guys need help here... i am ranking up so slowly i think i have only masnaged to win one game, any one got somewhere i can go get some help?

[CAM]

Who are you playing with? It's a game requiring good communication and you won't get that in random pickups.

no team no friends... whenever i have played no one says a word?

i do have one pal that i team up with he is usually the agressor and i will have his back we communicate but even then...pah

I find it varies, I play with 4 other guys (USTZ though) and i started playing with them just due to one of them adding me in a random game because i used comms and got kills. Sometimes i join a team of mutes, sometimes i join people who was to have a political argument while you are the last man alive trying to hear footsteps.

 

I would suggest adding people who do talk to your uplay friends, then see if they want to group up in future. Also play classes that are easy to rack up points with, Thatcher and Rook are probably the easiest for this, Rook gets points for people picking up armour and thatcher can just EMP nade electrified walls and the like for points. A nice tip for Thatcher that not a lot of people know is that his EMP grenade blast will travel through walls, so if you can get into the room above them and roll the grenade along the floor you will get stuff bellow.
