    Please dont let a once great game die like this.

    Hate to say it, but, after 5 great years, its time to put the game down for good. Me and 4 friends predominantly play ranked as we enjoy the more competitive style. Now, its become a cesspit of cheats, throwers & everything else that ruins decent FPS.

    You know ranked isnt fit for purpose when, as a 4 man team, you struggle so much more as you get lower down the ranks. We could hold our own in high silver and low gold, now were in copper and its just impossible!!! We are getting absolutely ruined with cheats (walling) and people who have thrown games to get as low as they can to wreak havoc and make Youtube vids. Ubisoft, what are you doing? Surely you can see the playlist needs so much attention? Are you happy to lose players that have stood by you for this long?

    Im disgusted.

    It's exactly as you described. The worst part for console players, is that all this is entirely 100% unmitigated. People are jailbreaking their consoles to use wallhacks, and NOBODY is even looking at it, or acknowledging it as a legit problem.

    Its terrible. Id go as far as saying the ranked mode is currently in the worse state its ever been in.

    The problem is all other multiplayer games have cheaters and most have it worse. I've actually invited new friends to play Siege and they're surprised to see Battleye bans and they say that it's good to see that at least in r6, cheaters get banned.

    The reality is, they won't ever disappear. Sadly.

    Except those battleye bans are nothing but a placebo. As well as theres no battleye on console which is what dome of these gentlemen play on.

    So because consoles are whacky they should just close and stop making game for everybody?

    Sorry to tell you, but consoles are what they are, they have its benefits and its disadvantages, either deal with it or get PC

    Im playing oon PC, which was actually cheaper than console (at least here in europe) and as biggest problem of siege i see toxic players. Which isnt exactly siege specific issue. Met cheater twice in few years and bigges bug what bug what bothers me is that Siege, from time to time, just set default skins on all operators

    Cant judge the situation in copper or on console but from silver to plat on pc ranked is enjoyable. Every once in a while you meet a cheater, get 60 IQ teammates or some 4 stack tking you and screaming into the mic but Id say 90% of my games are enjoyable and without such people.

    The game was "great" for the first 2 years, maybe 3. After that, it all went downhill, as it all started becoming a series of recycled content, barely interesting. And they started doing less, for the same prices. Even if you didn't buy the pass, the fact they started doing less and less is undeniable. That has to do only with the internal aspects of the game. When it comes to cheating, stuff like wallhacks, Ddos and the likes became way more common as time passed. Smurfs are just the same, although not effectively cheating as per term. If the game is to die as it is right now, honestly, I don't care. It's not enjoyable anymore, it's not fun, it's not interesting.

    Well, actually....yes. Since cheaters are ruining everything, and nobody can get a handle on them...they should indeed at least focus on trying to make better PvE games (perhaps not with zombies and aliens). Think a modern version of "Rainbow Six Vegas".

    And since Sony/Microsoft are the ones who should be truly responsible for combatting jailbroken consoles, and all manner of spoofing devices with macros, etc.....companies like Ubisoft refusing to make games for their platform (and thus not make Sony/Microsoft any money)...it would serve them right. Loss of money is the only thing Sony/Microsoft would truly understand....so it's the only way to be heard.

    I feel your pain man. Just the other day I hopped on and my first ranked match was with a fat virgin that typed "I'm going to throw so I can lose to play with my friends again". The entire match he commed our positions to the enemy team, Tk'd. the whole 9 yards.... It's such a damn shame dude. Dare I say i'd rather play against a Diamond player, smurf or on main acct than have to get these garbage games because of an ELO restriction? At least the game with the diamond could be competitive and give me a fun challenge
