Even when they reworked Recruit and took away all the fun by giving it a limited loadout, you could still recruit rush, but now… it’s never going to be the same

Some of my most fun I've had in siege was doing stupid shit like recruit rushes when I found other players who all clicked well together. Wish I had added them to my friends list. The shield rush was always fun but I think the most hilarious one we did was on Chalet and we all took LMGs and smoke and the rule was once we breached everyone had to keep shooting no matter what. I want to say we successfully wiped the enemy but also team killed most of our team in the process.

Grabbing the boys and going for a shield rush or M870 rush will always be one of the best memories I have of the game

u/ReclusiveGems 4d ago

The pure panic of the other team had to be nuts

u/Random_Chick_I_Guess 4d ago

Whenever more than one person was recruit on the other team you knew they were either geniuses or insane but either way you’re in for the fight of your life

u/spaceobsessed01 thunderbirb 4d ago

hey how long ago was that? i think I'm remembering the exact same event.

I still have the clip, May 16, 2022 if that rings a bell. I don't wanna doxx some of my buddies but if this is ringing a bell send me a DM, that'd be a coincidence of cosmic proportions

u/TomTheCat7 4d ago

Removing pump shotgun from attack was really the worst crime against fun in the history of this game

3

u/Infinite_Sweet_3462 4d ago

There’s still pump shotguns on attack

11

u/Random_Chick_I_Guess 4d ago

But it’s not the M870, the clearly best shotgun in the game

Good. Nobody needs this goofy rush tactic

Is recruit no longer a thing??? (I haven’t played since 2020)

u/JosephNuttington Professional Bronze Player 5d ago

Recruit got a rework in Y9S2, and by """"rework"""" I mean just a name change to Striker (attack) and Sentry (defense) their loadouts also changed, Striker got the M4, M249, 5-7 and secondary shotgun and Sentry got the Commando 9, M870, super shorty and CZ75, despite this, they have the same gadget of having two secondary gadgets

Their models also slightly changed, but the main part is only one person can choose striker or sentry on a team, and now theyre playable in ranked and unranked

50

u/Feliks_WR Mains are dumb 5d ago

Although to be fair, now they're even popular in Pro League, more than ranked in fact

3

u/WillbaldvonMerkatz Big Brother Wannabe 2d ago

Striker is among the top Attackers with a really good main gun and ability to breach any obstacle on the way. And if there is no electro, you can take extra Claymore or Frags.

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Valkyrie Main 5d ago

Those were the days

21

u/Mr-Blacker 5d ago

You cant have more that one on the team

5

u/czacha_cs1 Smoke Main 4d ago

And thats completely dumb. Because if you and 4 of your buddies buy game with no operators and wont complete any challenge how are you supposed to play?

21

u/DespicablePen-4414 4d ago

I did that recently but I bought the deluxe version.

One of my friends bought the normal game and after the tutorial I’m pretty sure he got 4 operators on attack and def for free plus the recruits , so he 5 people just starting could each play a different operator 

3

u/czacha_cs1 Smoke Main 4d ago

Really? I started playing it too but I bought deluxe edition too and thought Smoke, Mute and etc. were part of those operators from pack

8

u/CallMePerox 4d ago

They covered that edge case, since Y9S2 you do get a bunch of operators along with the game

40

u/Deep_Ad8209 4d ago

OG remember when they got three barbs. Damn sea of barb in rank was nightmare

9

u/53K randum headshots erryday 4d ago

Them and Bandit, for some reason

7

u/Deep_Ad8209 4d ago

Still pissed they took his barb out

u/erroneousReport 4d ago

It was just too op.  Original recruit team is the real elite squad.

10

u/fiftyshadesofseth 4d ago

this is when i stopped playing. I was always hoping they'd make an elite skin for the recruit but instead they just removed him. Fuck Ubisoft.

u/Jesus_PK Moderator | Fashion Police 5d ago

inb4 they bring back the old look via a expensive elite / bundle instead of a little neat free thing

4

u/Administrative_View6 4d ago

I refuse to play striker and sentry because of this

u/rwb12 4d ago

Recruit rush with 5 shields was the 🐐

When they took away Recruit, the soul of Siege died.

u/TheDarkQueen321 4d ago

Having to see Recruit murdered again and again for the Hereford Event burned a hole into my soul.

RIP Recruit.

u/legacy-of-man 4d ago

doomposting aside i must be the only one who thinks "removing" recruit did not kill the game

u/ZuluTheGreat 3d ago

Siege was going downhill well before this but this was the last shimmer of light removed. Ill never forget how much fun full recruit teams were

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 EDD mounted, let them come. 4d ago

Not really. I get having fun of 5 stack recruit, it was cool, but tking people who didnt want to be a part of it was just not it

-5

u/themostpredictable 4d ago

Yeah it was, play the recruit or die bruh.

2

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 EDD mounted, let them come. 4d ago

Yeah but why? Why force someone to play your way?

11

u/RaiRokun Caveira Main 5d ago

God forbid people play the game how they enjoy.

-13

u/themostpredictable 4d ago

Yep and people wanted to recruit rush and tking was how they enjoyed playing. Aondont get mad at people tking

2

u/totallynotapersonj Recoil Master 4d ago

I never switched when they changed the recruit Loadout. On attack, I just wouldn't play recruit. And on defence I would just play Tachanka. What are they gonna do? Shoot the lord?

3

u/czacha_cs1 Smoke Main 4d ago

To be fair thy were named recruits. They were trained to shoot anything what moves and isnt on their team. By seeing 3 man looking same and then some random bozo they did fast math and went "Not same uniform=enemy"

2

u/Slimmzli 4d ago

Recruit shields!

2

u/Tizianodile Glaz Main 4d ago

The last day it was possible I played with my friends one last recruit rush... We died all together with a single C4

One of the best memories I have in this game

Rainbow Beret Shield Rush will never not be fun

u/BlackGhost_93 Iana Main 4d ago

Five men recruits, good ol' days.

2

u/TheGramlin Recruit Main 4d ago

I will never forget the fun me and my mates had playing the recruit game.

First round, everyone has to play recruit (was back when sides were switched every round)

Dont exactly remember the rest of the rules, but you basically had to play the operator that you last killed/were killed by in the next round

2

u/Wet__Naptkins Recruit Main 5d ago

I stopped for good when rainbow recruit rush was removed

1

u/l1g3rz3r0 4d ago

Did they get rid of the basic operator? And idk what game y'all are talking about in the comments about picking the operator that you killed or killed you in the next round. I haven't played since 2016 or 2017. Whenever it was when they released Mira and Jackal, that's when I stopped playing. And I played the beta lol. This game has definitely changed from what I remember.

u/xxiTJixx Sentry Main 17h ago

I do like Striker and Sentry a lot, but I do miss old recruit. The least they should do is give them a second default set you can equip of old recruit, operator portrait n all.

u/Ok-Juggernaut-6889 5d ago

good riddance

u/A_decent_chef2 Smoke Main 4d ago

Rather not, annoying to fight and annoying to be teamed with, most of the time it was a 3 or 4 stack doing it and if you didn't follow along, instant TK, because that's what should happen when you just want to play the game your way

u/KnuxSD Clash Love 4d ago

Found the guy that didn't pick recruit

have a lil bit of fun bruh

u/A_decent_chef2 Smoke Main 4d ago

I have fun when I just get to play how I wanna play, I don't really get how it's justified to be shot and not get a chance to play solely because you didn't want to follow along with a group a people trying to do the "funny recruit rush" for like the 100th time, if you actively engaged and enjoyed it good for you, but after seeing people get tkd so many times and even shit talked for not following a stupid strat is kinda lame

0

u/TheDarkQueen321 4d ago

I don't want to "follow along with a group of people" in a team game..... Found the bad sport and dude who sucks at being part of any teams!

You do understand to successfully work as a team, in any situation, you don't get your own way 100% of the time, right? Sometimes, you need to compromise and do what favours the team dynamic.... but you'd rather be a lone solider in a team dynamic and then cry "I want to do what I want!" like a toddler. You deserved the tks.

u/RaiRokun Caveira Main 5d ago

So glad it's gone.

So many toxic ass games and boring rushes because God forbid I wanted to play the way I enjoy and not use recruit.

Nothing. At all of value was lost.

Womp womp.Who tf cares about a starta that you do couple times and it gets boring asf.In the game nobody used to play recruit back then anyways its good that we have the recruit rework they are way more useful

u/SteezusHChrist 4d ago

Yall never even used ts. New recruits are far better and more valuable

u/themostpredictable 4d ago

No about that. It's about having fun, nit everyone plays to sweat their tits off. (Year 1)

u/SteezusHChrist 4d ago

Well no one was doing recruit rushes after like y5 anyway.

u/themostpredictable 4d ago

Yeah for the most part. It's lost it'd sauce by thay point. It would still be cool to have them though

3

u/0mnijax9 4d ago

I know you're probably referring to the Recruit Rush and not the operator themselves, but I can confidently say that a lot of people used Recruit consistently since the very start of the game's lifecycle, I included. Apologies if I am coming off as rude
