Just installed the update. Gotta check it out but if its anything like Ghost Reacon Breakpoint's update I'm in for a treat!

[REDGUM]

There was a noticeable upgrade to GR Breakpoint ?

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Yes there is a Series X upgrade. Very noticeable.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

That 120 fps is so smooth, the difference is very noticeable.

Yeah its nice experiencing something that the PC players have had since 2015 for this game. Do they include Keyboard and Mouse support with this upgrade?

I tried playing this game a few times back when the year 2 pass came out. I got voted out of casual public lobbies because I was brand new after one match. I haven't touched the game since. I don't tolerate that level of toxicity

[monkey602]

It is by far the WORST community I've ever experienced for a game and the levels of toxic behaviour are shocking. It really isn't friendly towards new players, especially for a game that has such a steep learning curve.

But damn do I just love the game itself and keep coming back

Ive been playing since launch day, and I can tell you it wasn't always like this , the lil kiddies were all on cod and battlefield at that time, the community was small but mature and dedicated. Unfortunately the game got popular and so the lil kiddies came and of course brought that toxicity with them

[MetroidFREAK21]

I'm glad you didn't give up. Me, I want my $40 back lol

Console version is VERY toxic compared to PC. PC community is much better in terms of this stuff but they have also VASTLY improved the QOL in this game since year 2 so you should give it another try. They have a newcomers lobby when you are below a certain level so toxicity for beginners should be much lower. This game is also much more enjoyable with a full team or almost a full team and then you wouldn't even have to worry about toxic vote kickers.

Really? Is that lobby on Xbox? I like the sound of that. I may install one of these days

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Yeah ngl the community can be pretty toxic, like anything else you learn to deal with it.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I couldn't deal with it. A shame really. I wanted to become invested in that game

"Really? Is that lobby on Xbox? I like the sound of that. I may install one of these days"

This is what i found after looking it up since i never had the chance to use it since Ive been past the max allowed level since year 1.

"Newcomer is the beginner playlist for multiplayer in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege that was introduced in Operation Burnt Horizon. Unlike Casual or Ranked, it is only available for players under level 50."

this should allow you to get used to the games meta without being trolled excessively. There of course will always be smurf players joining in. With alternate accounts to do some pub stomping but thats probably more of an issue on PC over console.

One of the newest trailers about this game makes a good point that youll understand if you stick with the game. "Good players have skill, But better players have a plan." Thinking differently with this game compared to other shooters is what helps make this game so addicting. Ive never had a match that played the same as the last.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Maybe I'll try it. Thanks for the information

[BenRC01]

Looks like ass. Needs a full refresh.

Don't talk about yourself like that.... It's not healthy. 😉
