What do we know about the new map? From what I've seen in the teaser, it looks like a House type map.

Yeah all I've seen is the teaser clip. If they actually make the camera room operable, that'd add a whole new dynamic to the map.

Playing the free weekend and this game is too fun, I was trying to wait for sub 20 dollars but I think I have to buy it now since I have it installed anyway.
Who are the 'must-own' operators? I see a lot of people using Cavaleira.

She is a DLC character. So you would need to pay 600 R6 points (like £4) or buy the year 1 bundle for 15.99.
I only recently got into this game...and wow.
I was really looking forward to siege and absolutely hated the beta before it was out. Just seemed like too many gadgets and a campy mess. I'm glad I left it a year for the game to evolve and balance itself out. After an hour or so of playing it I forced all my CS playing friends to get the game and we are all so fucking into it. About 10 of us. I never thought i'd be able to get into a game like this due to the pacing and gadgets, but the classes and counters have a shit tonne of depth and nothing feels too dirty.
Looking forward to unlocking ranked, also people in casual have been calling me a smurf already which is nice
Bought the year 2 pass already.

Someone ALWAYS uses her on defense so you're best off having a good option of defensive operators available before you unlock her. I just unlocked her last night. I'm no where near as good as some people are with her. I went for an interrogation then two of his buddies come flying around the corner to kill me.
Good times.
Last night was great playing with rookies. Watching the other team of new players look confused on how to enter a castled room was too funny but oh my goodness is it annoying when the new players are on your team without mic.

When are the new ops getting demoed?? I know the stream is live but it goes for like 2 days
Congrats. Game is worth much more than $20, and I think you can be satisfied spending your money at the current price.
Since you're new, buy Rook for defence, and Sledge for attack.
These are fairly easy and friendly operators for newbies.
Caveira is fun, but requires map knowledge. You dont want to play an advanced character just yet, because you're likely going to roam too far and then end up losing it for the team. You can certainly buy whoever you want and learn as you go, but generally speaking, Rook and Sledge are great newbie operators.
From there, get:
ATK
-Ash
-Thermite
-Thatcher
-Buck (DLC)
These attackers are fairly noob friendly. Use Thatcher as a support role and Play the objective with him. He can be very crucial for attackers but his ability is fairly simple-- EMP the reinforced walls so Thermite can blow up reinforced walls.
Same goes for Thermite. Your team needs him or Hibana. But you should know simple things by the time you use him, like what Mute and Bandit does, and where to use his ability/when.
Buck is fairly good, and like Sledge. His shotgun can be used at a medium distance to blow holes in walls to vault through.
Ash is a very fast operator that can be great at playing aggressive. Her ability is pretty useful for destroying basic stuff from a distance like shields, castle walls, and basic walls.
DEF
-Rook
-Doc
-Smoke
-Frost
As a newbie, you'll want to buy defenders that stay in the room and dont have you wandering off. As you learn the maps (play co-op mode or learn as an attacker, or play private matches to learn layouts), you can start using roamers. Roamers are attackers who are better at leaving the room and flanking, or catching attackers by surprise.
Rook simply drops armour, and you should do this ASAP. Doc can heal himself and teammates and revive from a distance.
Frost can lay down traps. Try to place them in dark corners or in popular areas where you can expect the enemy to walk over. Smoke is a great room defender. He can stall enemies by smoking areas, which do a great amount of damage to enemies. In the last seconds of a round, he really shines.
Caveira, Jaeger, Valkryie and Bandit are great roamers. Make sure to always reinforce walls and put down your gadgets before roaming.
Avoid:
-Castle
-Tachanka
-IQ
-Blitz
In casual, where you'll start, Castle is useless, hurts your own team, and too easily countered. I think he's fantastic on ranked though. This is because ranked cuts off a whole minute from the round timer, so he can be a great way to kill off an attack. In casual, there is too much round time, and attackers have all the time in the world to deal with castle.
Tachanka is still rather useless, IQ is totally useless as far as ability goes, and Blitz is broken and glitchy.

I thought I could still buy her with the free currency but at a really inflated cost?
EDIT: Yeah, it's like 25,000 renown

Save your money on the DLC characters for now. Im thinking there could be a discount sale sometime soon since Year 2 is starting.
There should be an option to buy a bundle on PSN though, so that you dont have to grind
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...tion/cid=UP0001-CUSA01800_00-R6SIEGECOMPLETE2
Yeah, this is the total edition and its on sale.
Instant access to all DLC operators for Year 1 and Year 2.
Without sounding like a dick, she's one of the more advanced DEF characters as she's best utilised by someone who knows the maps and regular enemy attack patterns/routes well.
ATT
- Sledge (L85A2)
- Ash (G36c)
- Twitch (FAMAS)
- Thermite (556xi)
DEF
- Rook (MP5)
- Castle (UMP)
- Kapkan (9x19VSN) - Kapkan is especially good for learning enemy attack routes.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Yeah, I'm not about to try and buy her until I know the game/maps well enough.
Currently using this just to figure out what each operator can do.

Just finished downloading the game for the Free Weekend! Kinda pumped to finally check this out after hearing about it doing so well recently. Was super turned off at launch when we found out it wouldn't have a single player.
So for a new player coming in now what is the recommended first few Operators to check out?
Really want to check out the SAT operators. What is the best way to earn renown the fastest to unlock them? What do you get with the base game, any boosters or renown or just the game?

I know a lot of people dislike Hostage mode but thats the one that really gets my stress going and adrenaline charging. Nothing like running in to scoop up the hostage and running. The part that usually gets me is when you have to jump or rappel off a 2nd story.

Where can you read up on the latest strats pros use?
To my knowledge most of them try to keep their strategies secrets so as not to give their opponents advantages. They spend a lot of time reviewing matches, watching the other team play.
If you want to learn how they play, I suppose one of the best ways would be to do the same by watching the matches themselves.

Siege runs at 90-110 FPS in PS4 Pro boost mode in terrorist hunt. Maybe I'll play it now.
No I won't.

Playing the free weekend. This game is really stressful. Any bad habits get you punished even in the situations lol. Fun though. I hope I can get a handle on it so I can have some good matches before weekend is up.
That Operator guide posted above helps a lot too

Same, just activated one about an hour ago and now servers are down. Worst of all I got kicked off during a game which I aced the opposing team after being down 1v5.
I just started to play when it happened -.-

Worth picking it up on ps4? I have PC but I just don't play on PC much and bought it for like $20 at launch with a key. Is that version pretty good?
If you have a good PC and can run above 60fps then I say go for PC. I initially started out on PS4 for Year 1 but I'm going PC for the rest of the way now.

PC is 100% the way to go if your machine can run it well.

If the servers were down, i hope we get free boosters.
This might sound a little crazy but i actually prefer the gameplay on the PS4, which i know how that sounds for an FPS. There is no auto-aim on any platform and it makes it feel a little more slow and methodical with a controller vs. the kinda "twitch game-play" on the PC. I'd watch some gameplay footage of both and see, but honestly I think the console version plays just a little closer to what Rainbow Six used to be.
It does also seem to have one of the better console communities, i've met quite a few nice people on here.

I have both, started on PS4. It's a lot better on PC, IMO. Being able to aim quickly and more precisely makes it a much better experience. It's still fun on PS4 and I still play it some.
I know I'm low on the totem pole but I felt I'm slowly getting better. Fuck that bitch in the stairs.

Downloaded the demo weekend on PS4 last night,could not play anything,that was around 10 PM EST,not even Situations,it always says currently not available,check back later...and same thing this morning...? Is it because I dont have a team/other players or friends...? I thought situations could be played solo...?
