What the hell happened to Siege?

[Professor Toothy]

I've been a player since the early beta builds, through the 2015 launch, and up to about 3 years ago. I reinstalled today, and honestly what the actual hell is this game now?

Master Chief?
Laura Croft?
Cyborgs?
Holograms?
Zombies?
Space Aliens?

Does Ubisoft think people are too stupid to play tactical shooters without shiny dancing keys in front of their faces?? How are grounded, tactical R6 themes not good enough for players? Isn't Counter Strike doing fine? Didn't Ready or Not sell 5 million copies???

Like seriously, the new operators fit in about as well as a hummer in the bike lane. They all look radically different: artistically, stylistically, thematically than any of the base operators. Even the assets look wrong, since Ubi hasn't updated the resolution of the OG character's avatars so it's like taking off your glasses for literally a third of the roster when in the pre-game. Have you guys tried to read their BIOS too? The OG characters have a cool intro video, 2-3 paragraphs of profile and a classy stats sheet. The new operators each have an entire ESSAY on their backstory, and they're all wattpad quality at best!

And the UI is the stuff of nightmares. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I haven't seen so many square boxes since COD MW2 Reboot. The "play" button is literally in the top corner while 80% of the screen real estate is for loot boxes, premium pass adverts and freakin social media crap.

I don't mind the cosmetics or characters. The only character I don't really like is Sens, because his ability pretty much a copy paste from Valorant.

My biggest issue is how they only cater to the pro scene and re-work maps into the ground every season. They ended up ruining the majority of the maps they re-worked. Also every new map lately has been pretty bad; Lair, Emerald, Nighthaven.

it's because all multiplayer shooters just run a cosmetic based economy now.

i.e. they run on skins and other mitx garbage.

it sucks but we consumers can't do f all about it. other than NOT BUY ANYTHING.

every game that has moved from doing content rich updates to core gameplay to just f'ing with mp stuff and adding more cosmetics and mtx's has turned to sh*t.

it has happened to call of duty, battlefield, battlefront and countless other games, however some games were built with mtx's and cosmetics in mind from the get go.

such as valorant, apex legends, fortnite, overwatch, the finals and all the other lame f2p shooters.

for example call of duty, as soon as zombies became a thing it went from realistic shooter to fantasty bullsh*t stocked with awful skins.

now i actually liked infinite warfare because i like sci-fi but the zombies...meh. also the campaigns got shorter and shorter because they want you to play MP AND BUY SKINS!!!

plus when it went to battle.net it got online only which made the games worthless.

can't these companies see anything but their own profits?
where the f is the content and quality gameplay ?

this game launched in a very different state than it is now and it's all because of SKINS and E-Sports.

like ffs...start making quality games again or you will just lose more players.

Tbh I don't see the issue with that lol.

I started playing in 2015 too and i have to say the new bling bling operators arent bad and they actually ad value to the game. Cheaters are a real problem and the game is barely playable because of them.

[Regathering my sense]

trust me bruh no one care u played since beta even before the game release ,just go play something else

I hear this all the time i want to ask you how is this helping the pro scene? Hmm? Everyone says this i never see any evidence of this. You know who didn't want to play with friends no matter what rank they were? Pros... You know who didn't want brain dead one click operators? Pro league. You know who didn't want silvers in their champ games? mmmm pros. Pros didn't want 90% of the stuff they put in here. In fact most of the stuff they put in here seems to be pointing more towards casuals and silvers and below.

That's just how competitive games are when it comes to changes. CS does the same thing but luckily the changes aren't as drastic and you don't have to re-learn a map every 3 monthes.

yeah no. They didn't ruin their ranked system. They also have never made ungodly changes to make it more appealing to people who have no business trying to play ranked. They also test things and most of their stuff don't come out broken as ♥♥♥♥ and then they change it back 5 years later. You can't even compare and that doesn't even explain how those changes are made for "pros" and not casuals.
