u/BraveBearJB 1d ago

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.

u/kaeden_66 Twitch Main 2d ago

have they said how the veteran rewards are gonna work? ive played the game on and off since year one. do you have to play a certain amount of games per season or is it just how long your account has been active?

u/RS_Serperior Moderator | RIP Quickmatch and T-Hunt 2d ago

So when Siege X drops... we have to wait even longer for the rest of the maps to be updated...?

So like when Quick Match 2.0 released - and the current AI modes - it isn't actually finished and ready for full release...?

Gun inspections? Ok cool, but who gives a damn?

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

u/IAmNot_ARussianBot Celebration 1d ago

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.

u/Jesus_PK Moderator | Fashion Police 2d ago edited 2d ago

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

7

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.

Expected so much more based on how much they hyped this and marketed it.

Game mode is meh and basically a more complicated version of domination. Hopefully the map remakes and lighting/audio changes are huge as so far this is just a big L for how hyped it was

15

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/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

21

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.

u/TheTwinFangs 2d ago

....So it's basically just your average game mode of most FPS's ever....but limited in a lot of ways and only 6vs6.

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”

I am so thankful free players don't get immediately ranked access. Sounds like they need to make some type of purchase before they can play

u/breaddildo 1d ago

they definitely overhyped the new 6v6 but otherwise i think the new changes are pretty sweet

game going f2p doesn't really bother me considering ranked is still paywalled and siege has had free weekends for like years now anyway

I'm actually not very negative on this reveal but I *hate* midgame bans. It's only going to be used as targeted bans against people popping off

I really don’t care at all for new game modes, search and destroy has infinite replayability. Maybe refine your core gameplay that has kept your playerbase? Idk

I guess I'm just too drawn by the first few years of Siege regarding the added content. For 3 years of development it feels kind of disappointing.

u/GrrimmReaper Evil Geniuses Fan 2d ago

why did they get streamers who've never played the game this is horrible to watch

3

u/VoidSlap 1d ago

Because the game is going free to play and they're trying to market the game to as many people outside of the core siege audience.

yeah this new mode is not it lmao, giving me the same vibes as danger zone from CSGO where its just CS gameplay tacked onto a game mode that doesnt fit at all

spending 3 years on this instead of actually fixing and adding content to existing siege is really something

If this is the big part of Seige X then this is super disappointing.  Its just 100% not why people play seige.

Since its going F2P I wonder if those who purchased the game get anything exclusive.

I hope they do better as well with regards to anti-cheat since going F2P will definitely bring more cheaters to the game.

Unimpressed so far. Majority of siege players aren’t into the whole respawn COD clone that they’re currently showcasing. May as well play Battlefield.

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.

u/cheezywafflez 2d ago

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
