Tactical Realism Ranked BETA [UPDATED] | Forums

[dwbstreet]

To increase the momentum behind the new Hardcore Playlist, the developers are making these changes to the upcoming Tactical Realism Ranked BETA:

1) Much the same as the current Casual Ranked BETA becomes unlocked after clearance level 20, Tactical Realism Ranked BETA will only be unlocked to players who have achieved Gold Rank or higher during the previous season (or have reached clearance level 100).
2) Upon implementation, the only way to reach Platinum or Diamond Rank is through Tactical Realism Ranked BETA progression: meaning, the highest level Rank available to players of Casual Ranked is Gold 4. This will improve matchmaking tremendously, removing any chance of Diamond v Gold.

What are the communities' thoughts? As Raven Shield & Black Arrow vets, our group is highly anticipating these upcoming changes. Tactical Realism is the way the game was intended to be played on the highest level! The "Pro League" is a joke with teammate outlines and crosshairs.

This sounds like a really good idea! i would play realism ranked all the time if it was available.

Thanks for your feedback!
Ubi Montreal hear our prayers: it's been a decade since your last realistic tactical game, R6® Black Arrow

If this is true I love it. Very smart solution to keep the playerbase somewhat intact whilst making the gaming more interesting for vets.

The game mode seems perfect. 2 cons:
I hope we get the option to confirm dead operators for your team by pressing a certain button near a dead body.
I hope something can be done to let you know where your teammates are without being forced to play in a full party/use a mic.

Wait, does that mean that the only way to grind platinum & diamon would be to play TR? ARE YOU JK, WHY ARE THEY FORCING THIS TO US?
I don't like that mode, I don't find it fun - I am a competative player and I am playing a game I don't give a **** if it's that realistic or not.
I don't like using mics and it's a must for that so they are practically saying fu don't play ranked.
I hope this is a joke

No. what if I wanted to play with my silver or gold friend? would I be taken out of realism or would he be placed in it? Also, you're going to have a lot of would-be diamonds who just don't want to play realism staying at gold 4 intentionally. Thus, destroying the ranked system because they would be too good for that league. Your suggestion looks good on the surface but I highly doubt Ubi will go along with it due to the reasons I just gave you. The main one being that you can't pass gold 4 unless you play realism.

I've been a diamond each season so far and must say I wouldn't want to be forced to ALWAYS play realism. I don't play casual, I think it's boring and not competitive enough, all I ever play is ranked. I don't think it's a good idea to force people to play a certain mode when they reach a certain level.

It would also split the playerbase into two different gamemodes and that will just increase MM times. Yeah you could say that gold should not get ranked agains plat/diamond but if they never play against plat how should they improve. And it will make it difficult for players to play together. There will also be a very big skill gap between gold and plat.

either make a different rank sys for TR or make it like casual without rank but don't merge both into each other

[wastegash187]

can someone explain to me what happens when a defender goes outside in this gamemode in terms of if he appears for attackers, does he still get 3 seconds etc. thanks

[Aenigmatista]

People need to learn to read. You're not being forced to play this nor won't you be able to play with your friends who are silver. You simply won't be able to rank up further in casual ranked. It also wont split the playerbase much since it only affects the highest ranked players who won't mind a challenge that much.

Again, what is the source?

Do you have a source for this info or is it a suggestion? The wording makes it sound as if it has been said officially and I am not sure how this manages players that bounce around from Gold 3 to Platinum 2 - most of the group I play with are in this bracket. Nor does it suggest how a team of mixed skill friends can play or introduce a new player to the group who hasn't ranked up yet.
