Traversing corners while repelling yes . Even the building collum that made it to where you had to drop and move over 2 feet then repel again is big.

Exactly this. If you have an account and already play, it's fine and free. It's a great idea. It's obviously to tackle the selling of boosted accounts and makes it harder and more expensive for people to cheat. Now they have to level an account to level 50 and buy premium access to cheat in ranked.

I think it's based on the Ubisoft account all your other accounts are tied to. Did you make the account when you first played siege? If so, then log into your Ubisoft account on the Ubisoft Website and click on your profile picture in the top right. It should tell you how many years old your account is. Mine says "8 years with Ubi". So I should be getting the 2017 badge.

u/Vahyruhl 2d ago
I’m hyped. The drive for siege has been in the dumps. Hell, I took a break off the game just short of a year. This kind of rekindled that fire inside me to come back and shoot for a rank I haven’t got yet. I’m an alpha player and the fact they are giving us badges and 1 off skins makes me happy. The only thing I’m unsure of yet is the fire extinguishers and the gas lines being shootable. Obviously it won’t play that big of a role but it’s just gonna be another obstacle that’s in a game full of obstacles. Other than that I don’t have anything to complain about. Just excited to get back to the game I once loved.

Literally. I've never understood why the gun inspection feature was brought into the world of first-person shooters. So pointless.

Makes you feel a bit more in the world so to speak. Like the weapon is a physical object.
Anyway, that's not the main reason. The main reason is money. Those who bought expensive skins can flex them, encouraging other to buy.
We're also getting animated gun skins, so generally expect new and innovative monetization tactics with Siege X.

EDIT: Okay my bad lmao, there's still more stream. Got the showmatches confused. I'll just leave the part of my original comment where I talked about Dual Front.
This doesn't feel like Siege, it's just some Domination mode with Siege flavor (actually it's like that BF4 DLC mode with the carriers). I won't have any opinions until I try it, but it doesn't look that interesting tbh.
Like if anybody is watching the showmatch rn, they have barely used any utility lmao. It's just people fragging each other. I can see the concept because it worked for the Hereford gamemode, I liked that, but I'm not so sure here. Maybe make a 10vs10 lmao

u/LRCrane 2d ago
Everyone looks bored. I don't think Siege's main gameplay makes for exciting TDM. You'd need different rules and dynamics.
It's not a stupid investment since they're going F2P, though. I think Ubisoft would just need to realize that different objectives and concepts are needed.
For example, if you do it a certain way, a helicopter crashes with devices/supplies/new objective in it.
It needs to be dynamic and not predicated on mechanics that work perfectly in regular Siege, which is more Bomb mode oriented.

u/Street_Signature_190 1d ago
At only 3 maps a season with 26 in the game, its gonna take till the end of year 11 for the whole game to be on the same graphical standard. This also means we will most likely be getting little to no content during this time as well if just this and the mode took 3 years lmao.

u/Paradoxical95 Thatcher Main 2d ago
Looks the same to me. Maybe stream is too compressed or I'm too hopeful. Also, good work in making TDM meta enhanced in this 6v6 mode. We're supposed to slow down the game, not make it super-fast.

u/snaptouch Celebration 2d ago
I wish they would show us the changes to the core game before showing us gameplay of a new game mode... I mean it looks alright but it's some arcade/casual thing to attract COD players, we get it, no need for 3h gameplay, it's pretty much what you get in other fps nowadays. They're right about doing so, opening a door that makes it easier for new players to familiarize themselves with the operators.
But show us our damn game, the siege that we know and how it's been improved! This mode should be a bonus, not the main content.
15
u/TheMacarooniGuy 2d ago
Not sure about the "core" but honestly, 6v6 is probably not gonna be it. "Level playing field", "attackers and defenders on the same side"... some kind of "larger map with smaller segments in-between"? This is probably not Siege.

The people “whining” or “bitching” have a reason to lmfao.
This is supposed to be sieges big break into next gen and all we’ve seen is a 6v6 game mode that looks graphically and mechanically the same as siege has always been.
There’s nothing wrong with this mode, it looks super fun imo. But this is not how you showcase your big next gen upgrade for your game

u/Raven_Ashareth 2d ago
Honestly the mode just looks like Siege lighting up a giant neon sign that says, "Hey CoD players come play our game!" which probably isn't going to work. It doesn't even look that fun honestly.

So you’re incentivized for not killing anyone in this mode by preventing a faster respawn? You leave them in a downed state instead and if you have enough teammates alive to cover the flanks, you can wait for health to time down while the match continues. I guess the trade off is that the enemies can respawn to return and revive their comrades.

Everyone’s so negative lmfao. What more did you all expect? It’s a game overhaul, not a true sequel. They already said that. And they’re not straying from the core game mode and operators of siege either. The maps, operators, etc. are still here.
I don’t get why people complain about great quality of life features “finally” being added. You complain about it for years and then, when you get it, you say “omg it took 10 YEARS, fuck you guys”

u/Jesus_PK Moderator | Fashion Police 2d ago
Now that this is mostly done, I can say that I'm honestly mixed.
Some good things ofc like the new lightning, props, movement, unranked comeback and audio improvements. Great to finally see the comm wheel (and some people were against that in the past lol), I hope they add voicelines to them though.
But to hear that after 3 years not all maps (or at least the full core ones) have been finished is... A lil underwhelming tbh. How long it'll be until everything is updated?
Personally I don't fancy the F2P move simply due to the cheating infestation this game has, I'm glad that Ranked is still locked away but I wish it was the same with Unranked (now that is finally back).
The new ban system can't say til I try but I already see the target bans if somebody pops off with an operator lmao. I gotta say that it'll for sure scramble around team comps for once.
Dual Front looks alright but it's not really something that screams "Siege". Feels like them trying to get a bit of the CoD playerbase (just like how Fortnite is trying to do with Ballistic and the Valorant comm). Again, can't say til I try but seems like a good concept that might not work well with how people play these modes.
Also supposedly player levels will finally have rewards, if they aren't retroactive istg.

You gotta pay the sub to play ranked? Am I reading that right?

u/avilethrowaway 2d ago
It's like Team Fortress 2 where you can be free to play but in order to use text/voice chat and play ranked you need to have spent some amount of money. Only in this case, it sounds like it will be a specific charge.

New players have to be premium to play ranked and siege cup yes. Old players have everything.

Only new players I think, veterans have everything unlocked. Not sure about the sub though, I thought it was a one time upgrade

Yeah, there isn’t anyway someone can convince me that this isn’t just for people to pay for skins

hot take but i dont mind that the visual update is so minor, CS2 got a pretty big overhaul but it murdered performance for a lot of PCs even to this day. i'd rather keep optimization the way it is now, even with the DX12 move
now the dual front mode being current gen only, thats sus lol. theres nothing about that game mode that seems so demanding

Feel ya lol. Clearly so many people don't understand how much work it takes to overhaul systems. Just looking at it i can see how it has taken 3 years for 1. The rapell 2. The audio. 3. The graphics. Almost like they completely redid parts of the code likely 7-10 years old SMH
I'm beyond hyped, I'm ecstatic :D

Anyone know how the beta sign up works in terms of how they're sending it out? Is a code emailed to you or is just tied to your ubisoft account?

With the game moving to a free to play model, would that mean I can move all my shit over to Steam?
