I've been using spectrum v2 as my launcher for a while now it's really smooth and looks great. Plus it helps keep my desktop uncluttered. Anyways I just combined it with a wallpaper engine video wallpaper and it looks absolutely stunning. Plus there really isn't any major performance loss on my system. It's pretty amazing. I've dabbled in this stuff in the past. My Windows partition now looks as vanilla as vanilla can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Rainbow Six had 115,000 viewers yesterday for the playoff finals. Pretty legit considering how when this game launched it was basically completely unknown despite being developed by Ubisoft with the Tom Clancy title.

I picked up the basic edition over Christmas. Steep learning curve, but it's been fun. You really do need to find some players to play with regularly. Get on Discord and start making some online friends. But between the core gameplay and the Season system, it's been a lot o fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came in during White Noise. I look at old videos with Bandit and Jaeger having ACOGs and I'm like, how did you even get from the spawn to the obj without getting headshot.

Operation Health was supposed to fix all the glitches and netcode issues. It ended up making things worse, which was then resolved with the following season updates. Jager and Bandit were cancer with their ACOGs. Same thing with Smoke ACOG on the SMG12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 It's amazing to me how simple adjustments can totally change the way the game is played and the enjoyment. Case in point, I lived in the TTS when Blitz suddenly got a speed boost. It was amazing. And terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the solution to the terrifying Blitz is for Ubi to adjust nitro throws. I don't understand why I can launch my drone 60 yards across the map, but my nitro throw goes all of 5 feet.

I don't understand why Blitz has to have the flash mechanism when he can now sprint at you without lowering his shield. IMO either keep him as a 2-speed without the sprint ability, or keep the sprint ability but remove the flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think Blitz is really as difficult to deal with as people believe. He's like a shotgun, distance is your friend. Between that and his shoulder hanging out, he can be dealt with. I just don't understand how I'm Tom Brady with the drone, but suddenly John Wall with a 3lb block plastique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is a lot of maps don't have ways you can create distance since there's a lot of short corners, small corridors, etc. Once he closes that gap on you with his sprint + being a 1.5 speed anyways, it's pretty much over.

I still laugh when people defend Apple as a great company. Not only are they monopolegotisctical but force people into conditions that are comparable to hell to some that they start committing suicide.
