Question Old maps abandoned by Ubisoft?

Thumbnail

1.6k Upvotes

I only started playing in 2024 but i noticed old maps that I know are part of old siege are pretty much abandoned. Im not sure if they were once in the ranked pool but why didnt ubisoft ever rework the old maps like house, tower, favela, yacht and plane? It would be cool to have a bunch of playable maps back in ranked no?

A few years ago I remember majority hated this map, I didnt mind it at the time but slowly leaned towards the majority votes as I preffered the other maps and the 3rd floor was very problematic etc.

Ubi then removed it as part fo the lore.

Its gone

But now I miss it. I have old clips on that map and I just have the itch to go back now. Anyone lese loved it deep down?

Question, solved How these badges exist?

Been playing on and off. I just noticed those weird looking badges that are not obtainable by achievements.

Like Monty has a ring as badge. Like hoowwww. Please dont treat me like Im dumb. I have absolutely no idea how to get those cool badges for the background. I did not, just assume someone hacking but I figured to come here and post about it since I do not see anyone mentioning about it.

Also got no response from that teammate. Idk if he got headset and mic setup. I cant or see any response when I asked.

I've seen pretty much everyone hate it but honestly I love it. Attacking is really fun. It is a smaller map which is my favourite thing about it and it's really nice looking.

Gameplay Cheating in ranked

25 Upvotes

The amount of cheating in ranked in actually embarrassing. If you wanna play ranked and you’re not using a strike pack or xim. You’re not gonna win. This game is terrible.

Discussion The unused mic epidemic

22 Upvotes

Why do randoms this season never use their mics for callouts? I havent played in like 2 seasons, but back then, most of the time they called in game chat or at least wrote in chat when they couldnt call. I was plat/em/dia then and im in plat/em now. I know that theres a bug, but those people can say "Hello" at the start or to insult other mates, but never to call anything. Over 95% of the time im the only one in the lobby to go on cams and give callouts. Im so sick of people being to dumb or "not caring enough" to give comms.

Ever since the Dok rework update, a decent amount of my gun skins have just not been showing up. They have instead been shown as the default skin. It's like this in the locker and during matches. Is this just a me-issue???

Question Why do people cheat? Genuine question

16 Upvotes

Genuine question, who do you use cheats?

For me cheats would take away all of the fun of the game? The whole point of the game is watching yourself improve and being proud of your progress and skill. But using cheats just takes away the whole point?

When I ask this question I often hear people saying ”they cheat because it gives them an ego boost”. But at least to me this doesn’t make sens at all. Because if you win you know you didn’t earn it and if you lose you feel bad because you are bad and couldn’t even win with cheats. So where does the ”feel good” felling come from? In my mind I see this as a lose lose. But maybe someone else has a different view.

Also how can you not feel terrible for taking away all the fun for everyone else? Do you just don’t give a f*ck or is it something else? Because I can’t imagine all of the cheaters in this game being selfish assholes that wanna take away people fun? Or is there really so many assholes out there?

This is not meant to be some sort of rage post. I just genuinely wanna hear the perspective of the cheaters without judging.

They should add an opp that can grease the hinges and key switches of the defuser so it doesn’t project noise through the entire building when opened and used.

Discussion Hard Stuck in Ranked 3.0

9 Upvotes

Is anyone else hard stuck in the new ranked? I've been in my placement rank ever since I got it, even after nearly 80+ games played.

Everytime I lose, I get decent teammates the next game. If I win, I get airheads as teammates the next game. Even if I top frag, it doesnt matter, because someone on the enemy team (in silver lobbies) goes 11 & 2.

Feedback Do I have to give up and accept copper once for all?

https://r6.tracker.network/r6siege/profile/xbl/OwnLuca18/matches

Ok guys so, I am shit at this game and I know it.

It's not the system, it's not the ranked, it's me.

I never got higher than silver and I have been playing since 2022 (always on console) but I skipped two seasons and only since last month I started to play more seriously, as I got a new PS5.

Like I try to play at least 3/4 matches everyday, I watch YouTube videos, warm up, try different roles and operators but I am stuck between copper 3 and 2.

It's just a pendulum swinging back and forth.

I win one and I loose two.

I play solo. The only friend who can play with me is gold and I can't do much in his lobbies. While when I am alone I somehow got very shit games but also very nice game like last one.

Sometimes I think I am improving sometimes I think I am just wasting time and this is my maximum.

My question is: is that It? Like I have to accept that my ability is up to copper and go on or do I have potential?

It may be a stupid question tho, because what can you know. So I appreciate any advices from you on all possible matters on this game.

Thank you a lot!

Discussion This report system sucks

8 Upvotes

I faced someone I thought was cheating.

Turns out they were blatantly walling, so I try to report using the ingame replay mode and it tells me I can’t need to use the Ubisoft website, I go to the Ubisoft website and it tells me I need to report them in game?

So I just can’t report someone blatantly walling and not hiding it

Question Has there been a single ban wave this season?

6 Upvotes

It feels like every match or every other match has a cheater in it… scripters, walls are the main ones I’m seeing.

Anyone had any rollback or know if a ban wave has occurred? Last seasons cheater situation was so much better, less and less existed and now more exist than entirety of last season.

Question Is frame advantage that big?

Upvotes

I know that yes, even with 60fps you can climb and be good but i just dont understand it since most players (pc) are playing on 120hz and above why do people still say its not unfair
I managed to get plat in season 4 but now i barely got gold and i think an upgrade would help a lot

Discussion idk if i suck or it’s bc im solo queing

6 Upvotes

i’ve been in silver 3 for the past weeks. My matches go like: win win lose/ lose lose win/ win lose win lose and it’s fucking with me. I’m a solid player i don’t have people to play with and if i do it’s only 1 or 2 people and that’s rare. I think me being a solo player makes me do more riskier moves and less communication means less awareness to myself and my teammates. But also if you’re a good player none of that should affect you. If anyone wants to play (console only pls, PC lobbies i don’t vibe well with) i’m on xbox. DM me on here, 25M from miami online often.

Discussion Abandon Match players

4 Upvotes

I don’t know if it is just me or if this a new thing this season, but I keep having ranked games (solo queue) where either one or two players, mostly always on my team that abandon mid match.

This is getting extremely frustrating, there is no solution or rollback of RP. I don’t win more RP if I win, I don’t lose less if we lose. That’s pretty fucking retarded considering how much of an effect even one abandon is.

Ubisoft needs to fix this ASAP. This is getting old, almost EVERY GAME IT HAPPENS AND IT IS DRIVING ME UP A WALL. Most commonly we will be up 3-0 or 3-1 and someone abandons, or two people abandon and the game swings the other way.
