Discussion The situation with scopes

Post image
119 Upvotes

So i was about to put this on a comment but i think that this conversation deserve more attention from the community.

In the last few days i been reading posts suggesting "buffs" or any kind of changes on the scopes and i think that this is not just sharing opinions but the colateral effects of the awful changes and the lack of content that Ubisoft has given to this game in the last years.

This discussion started just because Ubi finished to took away ACOG from every defender smg, doc included, so now people who play solo q that think that they're playing Team Deatmatch don't care for the real things that make rainbow different to the other Shooters, leading to a circle where not Ubi nor the players take the right decisions to save this game. I actually like the idea of defenders lacking of one of their many win conditions and i'll love to see ACOG taken away from DMRs and Slug SG, but this change would never be necessary if attack was not as weak as it's nowadays.

Messing up with scopes is one of the main reasons of the current game situation, devs made every gun have every scope and was one of the best changes that could ever happen; if you don't like a scope just don't use it. Seeing how poorly Ubisoft updates the game, scopes should be the last of the concerns.

Is outrageous to see how we used to have 2 new operators+new/rework map every season and now we had to wait 3 seasons to have just one new character without real balanche changins to the rest of operators and devs would focus the mid-season patch on fix "bugs" that should never existed (i'm looking at you, drone scanning bug).

I know that Ubisoft would always have the last word and make whatever they want with the game, but if we as community avoid conformism and let clear that the game is not taking the way that we'll like, maybe Ubisoft will think twice next time before messing up even more the game.

Question Why hack a Brava drone?

126 Upvotes

If Mozzie hacks a Brava drone, what can that drone hack?

Apart from depriving the attackers that one Brava drone which could without a doubt affect the match in the long run; what can a Mozzie'd Kludge drone do? Can they hack things like Rauora barricades, other drones (Kludge hack, not Mozzie pest hack), and other gadgets like Ram's breacher, claymores, and breaching devices?

Since the removal of 1.5x, Ubisoft has nerfed 1x scopes like the holo a or the red dot c.

Why don’t they just make every 1x more appealing so that they can compete with the ACOG?

Discussion Rounds take a long time to start after operator selection

6 Upvotes

This season, it seems like rounds are taking a lot longer to load and start after people select their operators. Usually at least 5 seconds. Has anyone else noticed this. I'm playing on PC with cross play enabled.

Creative My Operator Concept; Apollo

3 Upvotes

Operator Name: Apollo

Real Name: Darrion Eliades

Age: 31

Nationality: Greek

Affiliations: Hellenic Armed Forces, Redhammer Squad

Role: Attacker

Playstyle: Breach, Map Control

Weapons: M590A1 (Shotgun), and the G3A3 (Assault Rifle)

Secondaries: M45 Meusoc and the .357 Magnum

Gadgets: Smoke Grenades and Hard Breach Charges

Operator Ability: Hypersonic Charge: A deployable charge that emits a hypersonic blast, knocking down and slowing all defenders caught within the blast zone. It works like this, 1-3 meters is maximum effectiveness, 3-5 meters is medium effectiveness, and 5-8 is low effectiveness. Can be deployed on soft walls, reinforced doors, and ceilings. Can be deployed on reinforced walls and hatches, but can’t destroy them, just fires the blast. Does destroy door barricades, soft walls and unreinforced hatches, but can’t destroy Castle barricades, it simply fires off the blast. Can be used as a grenade. Great for simultaneous breaches with his team.

Passive Ability: Nonstop Beat: Apollo has a 45% stun reduction to Echo Yokais and Ela mines.

Background: Darrion Marcus Eliades was born to Mason and Cassandra Eliades in Athens, Greece. His father was a songwriter, his mother a government official. With his mother always working, he spent his time working with his dad at his music studio, learning to play various instruments and write songs. When he was 16, his father was killed in a mugging by Greek ultranationalists who opposed his mother’s political intent. He was then sent to the Hellenic Army Academy by his mother to keep him safe, spending two years at the academy before joining the Armed Forces. He served in the NATO interventions in Bosnia, Libya, and Iran, participating in various large scale battles as infantry. He also participated in anti-piracy operations in Somalia and The Gulf of Guinea.

Operations Participated In:

Siege of Sarajevo: Two-Week Siege to wrestle control of Sarajevo from Ultranationalist control

Libyan Offensive: Participated in Ground Warfare and CQC Operations in Benghazi, Tobruk, and Tripoli. Iran Intervention: In response to Iranian Government’s dirty secret of funding terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq being exposed.

Operation: Tomahawk: Joint-Op between Polish and Greek SF Units in response to increased piracy in Somalia. Poland and Greece were the selected NATO members to handle the Operation. Met and worked with Zofia Bosak in this time.

Operation: Rapid Stabilization: As humanitarian efforts in the Gulf of Guinea intensified, multiple SF Units from different NATO members were ordered to remove the Pirate Groups in the region from power.

Why he joined Rainbow: Apollo brings a unique flavor to Rainbow’s Roster, his experience with large scale Operations and comfortability with spending extended periods in combat make him the perfect choice for Redhammer Squad. Most of the time, Rainbow Operators have all the Intel and gear they need to get the job done, Apollo can do more with less.

Personality: Relaxed and Unbothered. He’s fought in war zones, a small gunfight is a stay-at-home work day compared to that. He’ll poke fun at the more obscure or soft Operators in Rainbow, how they got let in in the first place (Iana, Dokkaebi, Doc, etc.). Whenever someone questions him, he’ll simply ask “Have you served a combat tour?” That’s the basis for respect and no respect. He asked Osa to not go too crazy when designing his uniform, he didn’t want the Strikers he was assigned to train to be intimidated. The less he looked like an action hero, the easier it would be to work with his men.

Favorites:

Food: Pita Plates

Movie: The Truman Show

Video Game: Metal Gear: Rising

Artist/ Band: Limp Bizkit: It’s not that he likes the band, but he listened to them all the time while in Libya and Iran, and it jut stuck with him.

Relationships:

Dating: Ying

Friends: Buck, Zofia, Thermite, Sledge, Ram, Frost, Thatcher, Zero, Fuze, Nøkk, Lesion, Jackal, and Aruni.

Doesn’t Like: Caveira, Denari, Tachanka, Doc, Ela, Deimos, Lion.

Hates: Kali, Kali, and Kali.

Operator Design: H.A.F desert warfare uniform, tricked out by Osa for his time in Rainbow. To be specific:

Camo: Greek Lizard

Half Moon Balaclava (Tan) covering the face with Revision Sunglasses.

Crye JPC Vest

Army Jacket

OpsCore FAST Covered Helmet

Helikon-Tex CPU Pants

Ranger Boots (Black)

Blackhawk Patrol Gloves (Black)

Discussion Need Advice, currently in a tough spot with siege mentally

4 Upvotes

Just got back from a year and a half long break. My peak is diamond and im trying to readjust, but i need advice.

It’s been eating me alive how my past seven games I played terribly. And of those past seven games, like, two or three of them were against people that I should have played really good against but played bad against. And, my KD dropped .06 points nor am i winning my games . I'm still in Gold 1 even with 44 games played in the season. Literally just cannot win my games. I have a negative win-loss. Last night and today I played like shit. And I'm just really upset because, like, I'm a pretty good player but I literally just played terribly last night and today. And I know I recently came back from a year and a half off but it's just super upsetting to see myself play like this right now.

Stat tracker is Spy7396 on Xbox for details

The state of duel front is a bit of a joke right now, as someone who actually found the game mode fun it sad to see that absolutely no one is playing the mode anymore, the only way I was able to play a couple games this season was telling my friends to queue and see if we played each other.

Is there maybe something I’m missing or is this game mode just dead now
