I dig it. Ubisoft seems to be getting their shit together with supporting and debugging games after their debacle with "The Division." I'm someone who likes to play a lot of mil fps's (minus the shitty Call of Duty series) so those that like the Battlefield series, Arma series, Squad, R6 Seige, and the Grand Theft Auto series will dig it. I wasn't big into GTA series, but I dig that style of game play when paired with the Wildlands plot. Wildlands lets you toggle instantly between the 3rd person and first person POV's which is cool. I think the latest Grand Theft Auto series is built like that. (To give you an idea of how it plays.) It's definitely fun when you play with 4 peeps you know. The negatives in my opinion are: you can only game with 4 other people, your competitor is always AI and not other gamer's so the game play may become robotic, and there is a lot of repetitive motion. (An example of repetitive motion would be "tagging supplies," "collecting intel," and "collecting war trophies" to gain experience points that allow you to build up/increase the skills of your operator.) But tons of vehicles to steal, tons of weapons modeled after the real stuff, tons of weapon upgrades, and super huge map to explore. Anyone interested should browse the official trailers of the game and hit up youtube for additional footage. As long as Ubi continues their streak of supporting titles well into year 2 of their release, its worth the somewhat steep 60 buck admission fee. At 40 or below this game would be an easy buy in my opinion.

P.S. You will need a fairly recent gaming PC build with a fairly robust graphics card to play/and appreciate the graphics in this game. My specs run it okay on the lowest settings. Getting around 60-70fps.

I was just about to play with you until you said pc...Ps4 here :(
 
For anyone looking to get into the Arma series, the Humble Bundle is out:

The Humble Arma Bundle is now live | PC Gamer

Additionally, if you don't follow Humble Bundles you're missing out on some great deals.

Whoah, never heard about Humble Bundle before... I always liked the ARMA games but haven't had a gaming PC until just recently... thanks for that heads up!! $15 was well worth it
 
Don't know if anyone else was lucky enough to get their hands on the new Switch (Nintendo) but to a complete and utter casual like myself it's freaking awesome. Currently balls deep in the Zelda game. That Zelda dude (the main character) is pretty cool!
 
Recently got Rainbow Six Siege. I have quickly discovered that the best tactic is to rush at the enemies with a shotgun. It's working out far better than being slow and methodical was.
 
Werd. Seige is a fun game. Ubisoft got this title right. If you want PM me your UBI ID.
It probably has more to do with me being new to the game. I'm pretty bad to put it lightly. Most of the time I try to take it slowly, but every now and then I'll just decide to do something really stupid and get away with a couple of kills. As I get used to the game (and hopefully better), I'll probably stop doing that.

Sound is everything in that game... my computer came with a free download key for it and it was night and day playing it on a computer vs on my brothers xbox (I can't flick sticks to save my life, a mouse is way better IMO)
