I haven’t played in prob 4 years. Stopped when Ela was pretty new. Wondering if it’s worth it to start playing again.
Can anyone who’s played back in the day (year 1 & 2) let me know what it’s like now. Some pros and cons
Not if you’ll be solo queuing. It’s more toxic and brain dead than ever before. You’ll legit have to mute all comms to have some peace, and at that point why not play something else. With a squad yeah fun
Year 1 to Year 8 here.
Pros:
- A lot of QoL changes, good nerfs/buffs, and changes the community asked for
- A diverse number of operators to choose from and play
- Some new maps
Cons:
- The player base is absolutely braindead so you get TDM meta** where its no longer Rainbow Six Siege, but now Call of Duty, essentially the soul is lost.
- Frustrating gameplay because people are absolutely braindead
*** means: People run, shoot, die and watch TikTok. There is minimal teamwork, gadget use, site set ups and zero common sense. Mc’Donald fast food style gameplay for impatient and hyperactive COD kids.
Final thought: would not recommend you returning if:
- dont have at least 4 friends
- dont like the TDM meta
The game doesn’t exist anymore dude haven’t you heard?
