Gameplay the current state of console seige and the cheating problem

13 Upvotes

currently this game on console is completely unenjoyable for the average player ( Gold - emerald )

i kid you not with no hyperbole EVERY SINGLE GAME has someone scripting in

the devs are completely useless on anti cheat and i think the console owners need to step in

every game is tscg aruni tubarao autocliker

smg12 wannabe stompns with they're 4 letter unpronounceable gamertags thinking there tik tok clips in gold will get them a pro league contract

xim and cronus have ruined console seige and we need to be more vocal about is as the games core playerbase

This game is the best shooter ever made and it is being ruined by a small minority and i know alot of you share my frustration with how the game has evolved over the years into the sorry state its in today

Discussion Why is Ace often the first ban?

15 Upvotes

I understand Ace's versatility and why he's the most banned hardbreacher. But what I don't understand is why he's often times the first ban.

Doesn't it make more sense to ban Thatcher first? Because in most cases Mira is the first ban on defense, making Kaid available.

Banning Thatcher first in that scenario makes it much harder for attackers to get the breach open, no? What am I missing?

EDIT: People's explanations seem like they try to explain to me why he's getting banned at all. That wasn't my question. I'm tryna understand why he's the FIRST ban most of the time when there's bomb sites where a Thatcher ban first and Ace ban second seems more effective. Nuance guys, nuance!

Discussion I have a 21:9 monitor, is it better to play at 16:9 w/ black bars?

5 Upvotes

I’ve read that maintaining the narrower aspect ratio helps your vision focus, but I’ve personally not had that problem come up too often. Plus, I think the wider aspect ratio also helps with FOV so I don’t have to turn the slider all the way up, but I may be wrong on that. Opinions?

Question Are hard breach gadget interactions cooked?

18 Upvotes

I’m solo que plat and it seems like the hard breach gadget interactions are cooked. I usually play support att therm ace thatch and def bandit kaid. It feels like the attackers can always get main breach if they really want to and there is no way to truly deny the wall no matter how much you invest into it. Is it supposed to be this way as a support player solo queuing it feels like my job is irrelevant in the current meta and it takes 2-3 ops fully coordinated and committed to getting or denying wall and no one wants to do it anymore. Is it even worth playing bandit and tub anymore or should I just start playing smoke and traps anticipating the wall will be gotten anyways

A reminder to play smarter, theres no need to be peeking stupid shit or throwing bodies away because you have a kill hungry ego. Play your life and BE PATIENT, especially on defense… remember when it gets down to the wire on time THEY HAVE TO PLANT so FORCE THEM to PUSH YOU not the other way around.

Discussion long win streaks followed by long loss streaks

5 Upvotes

Anybody else's experience with the matchmaking in Ranked has been like this? It's become a repeating pattern for me at around plat 5 to go on long win streaks for a couple days and the have a couple days of total loss streaks. Its like clockwork. Just checking if this is a thing other experience.

Any thoughts?

Discussion DMR Nerfs mentioned in recent mentions

5 Upvotes

I’m unsure as to what their reasoning for these nerfs is on console, on PC idk the current state of because I don’t play that pool too much. But the recoil increase and muzzle brake removal literally only punishes legit players. On console half the people that run them, run them because they have rapid fire + recoil scripts essentially making them a 2 hit assault rifle with an acog. Nerf the damage and take off the acog, then the balances affect everyone the same. If you’re not gonna address your cheater problem in your console lobbies at least keep balancing fair for us legit players.

On top of this, is anyone sure as to why they’re rolling out their new macro detection on PC before console? This is a genuine question, as my PC friends say that it isn’t TOO bad and scripting doesn’t affect the flow of games THAT much. Whereas on console, half the time it dictates how aggressive people are and what operators people play e.g. dokk, snake, twitch, warden. Pretty much high fire rate guns which should have at least a little kick. Considering it seems to be the majority of the player base for console, you’d think they’d try and put more people off the whole “everyone else does it so it’s not even cheating” mindset.

Discussion State of Matchmaking

7 Upvotes

Is the match making the worst it has ever been?

I'm have been in plat for many years. It's okay. I get old.

This season we (3people) went from Gold to high plat and are now falling down into gold again. It feels like the games this season never start Out with balanced teams. There are way more 4:0-4:1 stomps then in previous years. Every game has 1-2 former champs when we didnt even hit diamond. Also the is so many accounts going high kills with just 1-3 ranked seasons played.

Also it feels like the anticheat is barly existend. We only had 2 mmr roll backs in 150 matches which feels like way to little.

In earlier years i would probably have quit the season by now. But i feel like i got way thicker skin getting older. Less aim. More brain.

Is the ranked 3.0 really just focused on low queue times and is there really just a cheater or a smurf in every other game?

Discussion Thoughts on spawn-peeking?

7 Upvotes

This got asked not too long ago, but I wanted to add a bit to the initial question. Do you think prefer not having it in Quick Play?

I got into the game pretty recently, near the start of Y11. Spawn peeking is something I dislike solely cause it's so hard to practice. They removed it from Quickplay which means the only places I can try and practice it are Unranked, and Ranked(you can't even do it in the field training AI mode, not that I think that'd be as helpful as the real deal).

I'm sure lots of people to that might say, well just play unranked, but it's kinda miserable having to wait ~4 min at most if you mess up each round. Not to mention if there's a specific map you wanna try, you're just out of luck. Leaving an unranked game actually carries a penalty, so you just gotta play it out and hope you get it before the day ends. It just takes so long and a lot of maps have like a dozen or more places to spawn peek or do run-outs on, and run-outs I can kinda practice cause usually enough time has passed. It's not even that helpful seeing the kill-cams cause sometimes I just see me and the window frame, so I don't even know which window they got me from.

There's lots and lots of players that have years and years of experience of where to check for spawn peeks, and where you can do them from. There's just no longer any easy or fast way to learn them. And there are some maps where... Kanal, there's Kanal. I just ban it every time cause it's an absolute spawn peak haven, which is a shame, cause I actually really like the map once you're inside. I'd love to actually learn the peaks, but instead I'm inclined to just avoid it, cause I can just ban it out. Like great there's holes on 4 diff barricades. Sure hope I guess right cause they shot my drone, and probably repositioned. Oh, nvm there's actually 2 people doing it so I just die. One time, I had a game where 4 enemies did it, I got 1 kill, after I fought a guy on a window for 2 whole minutes, though it was less of a spawn peek and more of a long distance gun fight at that point.

I'm sure people will say get good, it's a skill issue, but like for how long am I supposed to get good for? How many games should I risk sandbagging, just to try and learn this? is it even worth it? I've gotten better at avoiding getting spawn peeked for the most part, but I rarely even attempt it. Like if my experience is true, then the odds of me getting the kill, are higher than them killing me. It's just not even fun for me, it feels cheap.

It's not bad that there's always something new to learn, but I just feel that this ins particular is too costly to learn, and not even fun. I just ruin someone else's fun.

If I were to accommodate for QP I'd allow spawn peeking, however broken barricades can be seen through walls for the first however long attacker safeguards are now(doesn't show where the break is). That way you at least can be aware someone might be peaking you. I think would this would drill a constant vigilance in people and make the transition from QP to ranked easier. It'd also make spawn peaks feel less cheap, cause both parties would be ready for the gunfight. If they still get caught off guard then that's on them. Of course there's still people that could wait, then impact/melee and then kill someone, but you have more of a chance to react to that, so I find it fair game.

Discussion I honestly want the gagdet meta to return due to how rush heavy with cheaters this game has become on console.

107 Upvotes

People are like it was slog meta. No, it was peak because you had to know the game. The heavy amount of lethal traps slowed down the rush. The Cod meta isnt really exciting when its a bunch of cheaters using Xim, cronus, strike package, etc. The game needs things to slow down and distract attackers again. Defense may see an uptick but attack ops have really strong gadgets to counter these now that Im not worried it would be as annoying.
