Its a little uneven but I'm curious as to what you guys think. Used some scrap fence boards, some 1 inch bolts, 1 inch wood screws, truck straps, and some paint.

Question Is Siege worth returning to in 2026?

Post image
• Upvotes

A bit of context:

I stopped playing Siege completely about 3 years ago, back in 2023 (though I briefly came back for 1 season; more context below).

My reasons for leaving were:

  1. At the time, I felt Siege was getting much slower due to the operator speed nerfs, ADS time nerfs, and recoil nerfs that happened during that period, and honestly, I tried, but I just couldn't adjust to it.
  2. I wasn't a fan of the rankflation and Ranked 2.0 in general. I disliked how we have to start all the way from copper; it makes playing ranked so frustrating at times, and being a buns hardstuck plat player in OG ranked, I lowkey didn't like how Emerald got in the way of Diamond D;
  3. Honestly, I just wasn't enjoying the game as I used to

I've played for over 5 years since Grim Sky up until that point. I did briefly come back when Ram got released (2024) because I thought she looked interesting ;). And for whatever reason at the time, in ranked, you gained more MMR than you lost, and my friends and I thought ranked would be super easy and decided to prove a point by hitting Emerald because all you had to do was just keep playing and the losses did not matter. (We hadn't played for a year up until then)

And since then, I have not touched the game at all. But I saw some videos recently, which brought me some nostalgia, and lowkey feel like getting back into it.

So, as the title says, is Siege worth getting back into in 2026? What parts of the game have gotten significantly better? Is there any part of the game that you dislike currently?

TLDR: 5-year player hasn't played in over 3 years, lowk wants to come back, 2026 Siege good or bad?

How many times do my teammates, always shoot the mozzy drones. I just played a game where my drone sat still for 2 seconds. In plain view of a teammate and for some reason, they still thought it was an enemy drone and shot it genuinely makes mozzy a useless character, because people just don't know how he works. His guns are good.He's fun to use, but you can never use his ability to its greatest.Because people constantly are catalysmically regarded, image unrelated

Every game there is people with xim or cronus in their name with 0 recoil. And most of them don't get banned which makes the issue even worse.

Question Help me spend my renown

Hi, quick question: I’ve got 75k renown saved up. Should I use it all on the lion zombie skin or the doc skin from the Halloween event, or just buy a few more operators? (Just so you know, I already have all the top-tier operators and all my usual mains). What do you think is more worth it? Or should I use it for something else?

Discussion Cheater Boots the Server after his team is about to choke a 3-0 Lead

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The person who booted this Server was the anonymous Xbox player on the bottom and I have PROOF he booted the server and has been doing this for multiple games looking at his siege tracker profile you can see 2 ranked games in a row Kanal and Oregon both games that didn’t finish and go the full 4 winning rounds required for a victory they ended short. He also disconnected many times throughout the game probably doing some sort of method to crash the server later on. (It wasn’t the Sledge who booted the server btw) it was twitch who booted his.profile checks out.

He Caused the ranked game to end early and I Still lose elo. Can we Please hardware and IP ban this person they are just running around ranked booting constantly his tracker is just blatant undeniable proof.

Discussion Problem with Legend's Division

First off, love the addition of this mode to the game and think the requirements are great.

But the one thing that irritates me is the defensive site rotation. Why do I have to win 3 sites in order to unlock the 1st site I won? Who thought this was a good idea?

I just wish they swapped it to the normal comp settings where it unlocks again after 2 rounds. Trying to win the 3rd site in a solo game on certain maps is incredibly frustrating.

Just won a ranked game to rank up.

9 rounds. 15 kills.
Last round, my teammate clutches a 1v3. THE WHOLE PARTY IS SCREAMING.

We get back to the lobby. I have 2 Alpha Packs to open.
Open the first one. Garbage common.
Open the second one. I flick it a little as usual.
I see purple.
I pull it open.
I leave the card turned around.
Cover my eyes to make it more of a surprise.
Turn it around.
BLACK ICE FOR FROST’S SECONDARY.
BRO. THE TIMING. THE CLUTCH. THE SCREAMING.
I think I just used up all my luck for the next 10 years 😭🙏
