Siege was a different game back than. Darker shadows, burning sun from the inside, quick peeking, you can't aim with pistols properly, ash with 0 hotbox, 3 seconds outside before detection, Blackbeard with an unbreakable face shild, tons of crashes and server issues. Aaah and don't forget the pocket sniper Good old times
Genuinely enjoyable game where everyone was just as bad as everyone else. The game felt fresh. Felt fun. A game where I could enjoy playing by myself or with friends
And if the only reason you liked it was because it was « fresh » it is normal it might not be your thing anymore. I loved the game then, love it now cause it is same founding core with more opportunities/better technical aspect..

fr when I came for fun I just got insane spawnpeeks, crazy angles, C4 lineups, gadgets that were weird and unrealistic, nerfed every scope on defenders and few attackers, shotgun and few AR nerfs… I left the game like 4 moths and came back now the game is sweat to have fun
Because watching people who don't know what they're doing (well they know but the way they do it is not the most graceful) is more unpredictable and therefore entertaining then watching people go click heads. But it's still fun to watch because now people know every single cm² of the map and do stuff you can't expect in your casual match
Honestly I still prefer csgo pro league matches than r6 matches. R6 works great and is entertaining when people don't know what they're doing, but becomes monotone once you know everything. In csgo I believe it's different, it's the opposite.
@@p_filippouz It's just that CS:GO is simple in it's core and there's no stuff to leave behind once you realize it doesn't help you that much. Mechanically it's all nades and guns.

The game used to be much-better looking. Ironically, my PC is much stronger now than it used to be back then but graphically, this game has gone backwards.
recruit with shield was one of the best shield ops in the game back and back in 2016 recruit was still insanely op because you got 3 smokes, nades, and lmg and some of the best secondaries in the game, recruit used to be op asf but nowadays its just a meme op lol
All they need to do for the old maps is a simple small tweaks to make it even better without changing the time of day but ubisoft decided to remake the maps entirely instead of new maps and simple tweaks for the old ones just because of eSports players!! Like why don't you make another title for them! Also the graphics, lighting and the realistic gameplay mechanics were much better now it's flat and boring And if they say it's way darker then why not add a flashlight to make the game even more impressive?!!!
Goga originally joined the PENTA roster after playing for a very short time (I believe the time metric mentioned was in weeks) and obviously that roster went on to do a lot.
The game used to be much more clumbsy to handle back then and recoil was also much more difficult to control ontop of all that. Also stacking smoke grenades like in 3:51 was absolutely necessary since they were very unreliable back then, where the smoke would not always block everyones view equally. After throwing it it seemed like the smoke was perfectly dense while for some opponents the some was clearly transparent to see through. Stacking smoke grenades made it much more unlikely do die to this. Also injuries in combination with Doc used to be very broken. When you were injured you became invincible for the entire fall animation. The time where someone might have emptied their clip in the desperate attempt to confirm the kill - which was impossible to do since you were still in the animation. Reviving yourself as Doc therefore was a likely to happen counter. People nowadays cry all the time that the game is broken - but after all the game is actually in a very good mostly very well working condition nowadays.
This darker maps are much better, you can hide, your traps are worked in ~90%. Now every map too bright, the traps so fking visible, and you can't run and hide in a gunfight because the operators glow in the dark.
@The Walnut Everything stated is using skill as well. Using your environment to give camouflage to yourself and your traps or disengaging from a gun battle for a better position. God what an idiot
@The Walnut My bad for the insult, just playing devils advocate. Defenders have a huge advantage, yes. I don't think attackers will ever be on equal grounds, even with superior weaponry, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the setting they placed the game in. But that's just my nitpicky boomer attitude.
@@unnamedminterlogist the game is still laggy, Trap ops and 3 speed is always meta, and now every stairway on a map has to be a different color for the bums that can't read the actual name of the stairs. So what's the real difference? The game was faster back then.

i didn't played it at that time, but just by looking at how the light was realistic make me says that it was indeed better before, now all maps are magicly illuminated it seems like we are in Valorant instead of being an elite squad swating a building.

!!!!! Btw for all new players that didn't play Y1 Shields and shotguns was first meta siege. Funny thing I just came to think of is that, before in Y1 maybe some of Y2 you could die from C4 as monty full extend or any shield op, it would be like the shield wasn't even there.

I didn't get to play when this game first came out but I still miss before they changed everything I started in phantom sight so I got to play on some of the old maps like house, kanal and Oregon the game was so fun back then
The maps doesn't feel the same anymore... they removed the ambiant lights, the night maps, the dead bodys and now it just looks like a one life call of duty...

THAT'S SO TRUE, I WAS PLATINUM IN 2017, STOPPED PLAYING AND STARTED TO PLAY AGAIN THIS YEARS AND I CAN'T GET OU OF THE FUCKING COOPER
game was super fun back then
People on twitter Bio's: Yeah used the be a professional R6 player back in year 2016 and 2017.... like it meant anything.
Remember watching some of these game, back when I was like 15-16. Played console and didn't know what dead zones were for about 3 months and was using 100 100 H/V and 50 50 DZ *facepalm*.
2016-2017>2020-2022
All day
Ahhh old seige such a nostalgia trip seeing all the old maps before they messed everything up changingmaps that didn'tneed to be changed taking maps out of ranked play list I just want plane goddammit, bring a mode to revert back to day 1 seige I'll be all over that
The good old days.
what map is that that comes out in the minute 6:41?
Old hereford base
@@Desxire omg, I didn't remember it like that
@@emmanuelrios6513 yh its veryyyy old
nice game , it was
Haven't you uploaded this before?
Does anyone know why me and my friends can’t access Ubisoft connect time limited challenges?
Damn anyways happy new years everyone
There was 2 or 3 people with the dev skin, pretty cool to see
I wish I'd had played in those days 😪
Na, be glad that you have a well functioning game now. Siege was a technical mess
@@severalkorveks138 I just hate how hateful the players are now
@@thegamingfox8428 Competitive games attract such people sadly...
When you do play in tournaments, people are getting nice usually (after my experience)
I thought I hated siege, I've come to realize I hated the "reworks." This video makes me miss good old siege.
R.I.P good R6
People always want what they dont have and forget about appreciating the things which are given.
The game was so buggy back in the days. Also most of the people here never played back then😂 thats even funnier
@@zynoo9450 Siege is dead now just survive by skins sells
Not even a good anticheat
The noobishness was the fun part
Happy New year
Luck on you 🔥
I joined at the end of y5s1 and this truly hurts so much to watch... I can only imagine what it was like to play during this time
I want to play old Oregon 😭
So good 😢 ubi is so focused on 'every site needs to be viable' that it ruins the game. Knowing how to play a 'bad site' with unconventional strats was half the fun
I almost forgot about pistol recoil
The skill peak on this game was on 2018, remember when they had to pach things about movement because of beaulo quick peek getting viral
The skill peak wasnt 2018
I actually miss these old maps.. even favela, wall bangs were so fun on ol favela
and hide and seek
@@claytonhellner1701 probably miss old tachanka and recruits the most tbh. Spawnpeeking with a mobile lmg just isnt the same as bunkering down in a window with a stationary but sturdy head popper. And no attachments on recruits with massive loadout options just hit diffrent. When they changed those, i knorice the game because less fun and way more sweaty and kill focused. Bummer.
I didn't get to play when this game first came out but I still miss before they changed everything I started in phantom sight so I got to play on some of the old maps like house, kanal and Oregon the game was so fun back then
as a diamond (playing since 2017-2019)
i cant play the game today, for some reason i have skill issue now
Wish we can go back man
Looked better it 100% did not play better or was more balanced
imagine a match between old pros and 2023 pros
Bruh, old pros would get destroyed
@@Alexandre-rv7vj that’s assuming the old pros never improved from back then
Good Old days Baby Good Old Days
being a wtf fan was a hard watch when i watched these
Why does the game look so much more realistic back then?
Because it was
because it was darker, everyone hate it, you can't see anything
ah makes sense
Yeah I was plat in 2016 and now I'm silver/low gold. Plats now are way better than what It used to be
The maps doesn't feel the same anymore... they removed the ambiant lights, the night maps, the dead bodys and now it just looks like a one life call of duty...
For performance reasons I think, I’m actually glad they got rid of the dead bodies cus they would sometimes get in the way and for some people they would be positioned differently compared to others
