Rainbow Six Siege Open Beta kicks off next week

Speaking of that, I upgraded from an i3-4160 to an i7-4770 (well, actually a Xeon 1231, which is basically the same thing) last week and my performance has been way better than it was during the last couple betas. I once dropped down into the 40s/50s in certain areas, especially when there were explosions and destruction, but now I rarely drop below 80. This game definitely favors quad cores! I'm sure most modern games do, though.

Yeah, I have a 4770k and it runs it very well. Smart upgrade for you I'd say.
 
I played the closed beta so I had access earlier today, tried to play, but got disconnected from the Ubi servers shortly after each game started.

So that was the end of that. Hopefully this was just a temporary thing.
 
The match making in this beta is awful. It was bad in the closed beta but not this bad. I really wanted to get the game if they had fixed the network issues but apparently UBI couldn't care less. Playing on PC.
 
Loaded up and did a couple of rounds of Lone Wolf T-Hunt on Realistic.

Just as glorious as it was before the last Beta ended. Smooth, tense atmosphere, super tactical. The destruction of the environments is so immersive and well done. One time a block of wall flew straight out after an explosion across the room behind a wall, hit me and killed me.

It says right on the dash that there's an update incoming to improve matchmaking.

It is far worse at the moment than it was by the end of the last beta.

Will there not be a server browser at launch? All I've played is Terrorist Hunt (I'm more of a SP/coop kind of guy when it comes to tactical shooters), so I haven't even kept up much with the PvP multiplayer.

If the answer is no, that fucking blows.

The update hasn't done anything. I'm still waiting in matchmaking for almost 30 minutes and haven't been able to connect to get into one.

As far as I know its matchmaking on Ubi's dedicated servers.
 
I can confirm that matchmaking is utterly broken, even post "maintenance" on PC. I should have known better, considering this is Ubisoft. Matchmaking in Ubi games on PC has been completely busted since AT LEAST Ghost Recon Future Soldier, and they never rectify it.

So can anybody get in? I tried downloading the beta, and now I am essentially offline the game's servers, unable to do anything.

Terrorist hunt worked on and off on PS4 for me, the normal game mode has never worked all day for me on PS4 or PC. I wasn't planning on buying this game but this just reinforces it, the game is nowhere near ready for launch - matchmaking has been broken all day on all platforms.

Even when I get in on terrohunt games it just feels so wrong on so many levels, like a crappy f2p game with horrid netcode. In one game the host just quit and everyone got kicked off, in another the entire other team was rubber banding about like Matrix agents.
 
Matchmaking is broke. Got a few terrorist hunt games... Played amazing. Haven't been able to get one PvP match.... All post "patch" on PS4. Gave up will try again tomorrow. This really has me worried for the release... It's out so soon.
 
I can't believe that 3 tests later and the servers and MM are still an absolute mess. Constant disconnects and sitting searching for a game forever means that nothing has improved at all.

It's hard to believe this is releasing in a weeks time and Ubi still can't sort this out.

was smooth the last 2 hours, matchmade into games within 30 seconds etc. servers just restarted again
 
Alright stated earlier hoping this was close to SOCOM 2, and after playing a few matches...this feels pretty great. It seriously gets your heart beating fast in close matches. I also love the slower pace of it, cant wait to talk strategy when my friends play with me tomorrow night.

Also, having a headset or good audio is a must in this game, you are at a disadvantage otherwise.

I also think that if someone on your side team kills more than 3 people in the first 30 seconds they should be auto kicked- without having to vote them.
 
That opening cutscene had the best facial expressions and graphics I've seen, probably ever.

Will this game have a story/campaign?

Obviously only online shit available on the beta for me
 
I will say I hope they get the servers running well, have been dropped a few times. Would be a shame if it is a broken mess on launch, because when it has worked I really enjoyed it.
 
Having a lot of fun so far. I'll be playing a ton over the next few days, so if anybody wants to play, add me on PSN: Gaz_RB

Also I was never in the PS4 Closed Beta and I'm playing fine now. Not sure if it's open for everybody now or what.

No, not a real campaign. You can play a lot of missions alone.

There's no single player campaign or story. You can play Terrorist Hunt mode on your own (although it needs an online connection to start).

No, it started yesterday as per the email Ubi sent out.

Found this on their subreddit, that's pretty hilarious, lol

for those who have been able to play a match, worth downloading the beta?

There are 'scenarios' and sandbox terrorist hunt missions which you can play solo. IDK if you need an online connection to play them or not. I'd imagine not, but others here say otherwise.

IMHO this is best as a co-op game. The Terrorist Hunt mode is a lot like Left4Terrorist. Highly replayable, dynamic, and very difficult co-operative action. It's really tense and fun, serious 'one more go' stuff.

Yes, if only for the co-op. Even Lone Wolf it's fun, but hopefully the matchmaking will be sorted in the next day or two. T-Hunt with a few friends is fucking incredible.
 
God i'm scared the servers are going to implode at 10am eastern today when the full open goes live... it was complete garbage last night on PS4 even post "patch"... couldnt get into one multiplayer game. Terrorist hunt was a blast though.

If they straighten out the network and latency/hit detection that everyone is talking about... this will be my go to game for a while. So satisfying to have a slower, tactical, "thinking-mans" shooter again.

This is how I feel. Really excited.

Although discovering Just Cause 3 has no minimap and up to 6 grapple-connectors really made me consider swapping my order.
 
Played a few matches last night and got into two games really quick but after that no go. I still cant figure out how hard it's to make a good match making code.
 
If it didn't come out now, I would have considered it. Really poor timing to release your game considering Fallout, BF and Cod all came out so close together
 
Graphics seem slightly better than the previous one. Still hella buggy though. I threw a flash-bang against a wall down a staircase (me and another guy were upstairs). Flashbang killed both of us.......on the top floor......even though it was thrown on the bottom floor.....impressive
