Regarding ping abuse | Forums

[I___DRIVER___I]

As a veteran of R6 in the past, and having sunk 153 PS4 levels and 80 PC levels into siege, I simply wanted to make a note on a few things about siege.

Fast peeking is a pretty serious problem to me. In a game/series that is all about being tactical, the ability for a speed 3 operator with a small hit box like Ash or Hibana to sprint horizontally out of cover with pin point aim really urks me. Yes that takes skill and prediction, but it's just a shame because the higher up you get in ranked, the more essential that becomes to being able to play. This by itself wouldn't be a problem and I could deal with it, but the Internet lag makes that pretty much impossible to prevent as it only takes a split second to die.
People fast peek because they know they have an Internet related advantage and that doesn't seem like it is an intended feature.

I've though of two simple fixes that would solve that. First would be minor movement acceleration. Don't let operators go from still to 15+mph strafing in 0 seconds. Make them take one or two steps to get up to full speed like in real life. This would prevent people from spamming a and d in a doorway specifically to abuse that ping advantage.
The other fix would be an *extremely minor* reduced aiming accuracy while moving (or at least when you start moving), that way they can't be always be guaranteed to be aiming at head shot level. It would give the peekee a chance to fight at minimum.

I truly believe the number of people relying on the ping abuse to play the game is too high and something should be done to just touch that up a bit. No-one should be afraid to hold an angle because they're going to get fast peeked. I would say this would change the game too much, but jackal changed roaming forever so why not make other possibly significant changes. I'd love to hear what other people think about this and ping abuse in general.

Just a quick TLDR in case someone didn't read: I think quick peek ping abuse is far too relied on, and suggest that extremely minor movement acceleration and or extremely minor weapon inaccuracy while moving to counteract this.

A well constructed post, with a very reasonable counter-measures to the ADADADAD spam spawn peaking problem.

You deserve this.



I am only being 10% sarcastic.

Seriously, these are awesome ideas. Heavily borrowed from CS1.6 from the sounds of it, and that is a the best possible source this game could possibly borrow from.

Having seen a post by I___DRIVER___I recently, I decided to bump this post. When I made it about a year ago I was so new. I'm level 171 on ps4 and 229 on pc, along with Plat ranking and over 2000 combined hours. As an experienced siege player, I stand by everything the less W0ke version of me said in 2017, and I am curious on people's opinions of this in the current siege era.

This game has been in ranked beta for the past 7 seasons, I continually play with 200 ping players, that laugh and take advantage of their position... CSGO in the first few months allowed you to play with players within a certain ping.... Why can we not do the same for this game? instead we have different region players who comment on how this game is not region locked.... How can this game not be region locked after "Beta" for 7 seasons....
