Thanks for all of the responses.
I have hardly any time these days to play games but have been itching for a multiplayer shooter that's not Titanfall 2 (Which I played and loved to death).
The cadence and rhythm of the matches from Siege seem exactly like what I'm looking for currently.
I will purchase it soon!

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Just avoid the starter edition on PC. The rest depends on how much you're willing to pay. At the least Id recommend the game + Year 2 pass, because it includes many bonuses which will help you unlock operators and attachments faster.
Operators are unlockable using Renown which you get for playing and completing challenges. The original 20 operators are reasonably priced but the DLC operators require a lot more grinding which is why I recommend getting a game + season pass bundle.
If you end up really liking the game, you can always buy the season 1 operators for something like $15-$20 for all 8 Year 1 operators.
Like I was telling a friend, this is a deeply tactical game. Operator kits wont win you matches or firefights but help based on your playstyle and situation. Its extremely skill based.

Valkyrie's face will always be busted in my heart.
Is this more profitable for them to keep this game alive, rather than catch a hype and make a new one with more budgets?
The game's doing very well right now, and they should continue to support the game rather than ride on the momentum to make a new game.
You can't guarantee that the current playerbase will transfer to the new game, some might have invested too much in Siege and don't want to move, some might not like the changes and see no reason to move just yet while the first game is still doing well and has life in it. etc etc.

They game's more popular than its ever been. They introduced alpha packs (loot boxes) a few weeks back and keep adding new premium cosmetics.
This game's definitely not getting a sequel until next gen.

The lighting/bloom changes are the most intriguing part of this patch to me

I actually liked the bloom, especially as a defender because it was so easy to spot an attacker moving into your line of sight.
That's probably why they nerfed it, to give attackers more of a fighting chance when they peek through windows/cracks.

I'm a bit weary of the team's need to permanently remove maps in the future to conserve a memory budget, but for now, I'm loving the game and think it's a perfect chance for new players to jump in. The games in the best state it has been yet. Super fast matchmaking, minimal bugs (Doc/Chanka glitch hopefully sorted with new patch), and a new season of content right around the corner.

I assume it's much cheaper and profitable for Ubisoft to make a new Season pass and sell that + micro transactions than to pony up the cash for a sequel.
Does anyone know if a sequel is possible with a Vivendi future?
Not exactly it was bad both sides looking outside from inside you couldn't see shit..same the other way around. It's because Siege never adjusted the bloom and did eye adaption like most games, your eyes and real life cameras where the exposure value/brightness adjusts after you look at a dark/light area.
Though it was a bit better for defenders when playing during day time.

The backlash got to them so they backed away from permanently removing maps. For now they'll just remove them temporarily to rework them.

Okay that's fine by me, but realistically how do they plan on going forward with adding new maps when they're 'rapidly' approaching a memory budget of some sort? Feels like they're just sweeping the problem under the rug for now, unless the optimisation of maps somehow removes this problem.
The memory budget thing is so vague, we don't know whether they mean RAM or HDD space, we don't know if it's server side limit or client side. But it might as well just be a server side issue (which they can fix by just upgrading a the servers) because I can't see how a 40-50GB game is approaching memory limits. Nor can I see the RAM being an issue since the game doesn't load the maps not being played into the RAM.

Its something on their backend, not ours.
Matter of fact the megapatch that's hitting on Tuesday is supposed to reduce game size.

I have the ultra textures and my patch size will be 42gb?! That's pretty crazy.

so the new lighting makes it easier to see, cause half the time I cant see shit through walls (Tv issue too I guess)
and all new textures on all maps or what?
And I am already prepared to shoot my teamates who stupidly blind me with that new flash weapon, bad enough that I get flashed a few times a week already ha. And fuzed a few times too...

Thanks. Any opinion on console versions?

Ive sank dozens of hours into the PS4 version.
Matchmaking in seconds
60fps multiplayer
30fps terrorist hunt
No Pro support
Terrorist Hunt is 60fps if you turn off vsync, theres just screen tearing.
The console versions are fine, the PC version is much faster paced which is either a positive or a negative, total preference there.
If I had a PC I would get it there, but it works totally fine on console.

Terrorist hunt gets a big Pro advantage on frame rate.

My situations are at 0 and I had to redo all of the attachments and whatnot. Everything is still unlocked though, so I don't actually care.

Real game. Starter will screw you if you like the game.
Its the only FPS that I havent gotta tired of playing after about 6 months since Goldeneye 64
This isn't even hyperbole. It's superior to every other online shooter, past and present. It's a stealth contender for GOAT. Look forward to firing up Blood Orchid.
