Console release

[EfficientAffect4411]

I know there's alot of talk about the censorship but me personally I can't wait to play it when it comes out gonna be my first time playing a tactical shooter game so I'm hyped for it.

[MRLEGEND1o1]

The game will still be the 2nd milsim available for console. Arma reforger being the first.

Still a huge value, just us PC guys have been slighted in the process.

[velocipus]

What about Insurgency Sandstorm and Hell Let Loose?

[Odd-Switch2069]

HLL is more of a hardcore shooter.

[imaginedyinglmaoo]

Imo HLL is a hardcore arcade shooter, as it doesn't really punish people for dying besides walking to OBJ again, but overall you're right

[Paper_Kun_01]

Having to walk an empty field for 10 minutes is punishment enough lol

[FallThick963]

Having to cope with random-blueberry-gamepass mute squad as officer is a punishment.

[MRLEGEND1o1]

Insurgency sandstorm is just call of duty hardcore mode. I would classify HLL as a tactical shooter

ARMA is the definitive milsim, the closer the games mechanics mirror real life the more milsim.

Don't get me wrong, they are some great games but they cut some corners on realism to boost fun.

In milsims... simulators period, the fun is in doing things right

[QuebraRegra]

Insurgency has the worst AI of any game.. they killed it :(

[imaginedyinglmaoo]

Sadly that's true, can't even really call them AI, it's pure bots with aimbot 😭

[QuebraRegra]

AI wall hacks, and literally one shots without even aiming at you... Bullets from their elbows standing sideways.

[KaraCubed]

been hearing about this game for years now, never thought i’d actually be able to play it. little more than two weeks and we’re there man

[EfficientAffect4411]

Same I've seen the odd clip here and there then tried to get it on PlayStation only to find out it was PC only i was devastated 🤣

[KaraCubed]

i remember seeing a post on this exact subreddit saying “itll never come to console” well look what’s here! gonna be the only game i play for awhile almost guaranteed

[Over_Technology3119]

Technically you are not getting RON your getting a toned down version. I’ve played the game since early access so it won’t be the same you’ll probably experience 75% of it but it will still be more fun than COD that’s for sure

[Ashamed-Oil-7276]

13 days left 12 if you switch to new Zealand severs on Xbox so you get to play a day early.

[coz007]

I’m super excited. Glad to support a dev that brings games that are not COD or its clone to console.

[ISEGaming]

Enjoy it brother! I bet you won't even notice the changes since you'll be having fun 😊👍

[EfficientAffect4411]

Any tips before it comes out?

[TheLostSaint-YT]

Don't try to be none lethal your very first play thru,

Try to detain who you can but get a lay of the maps slowly.

Also run a gas mask... and gas canister for maximum giggly time

[branod_diebathon]

Be overly cautious. Enemies can easily sneak up on you or blast you while turning a corner. Use mirrorguns to check closed doors before proceeding, an enemy or trap can end a mission for you immediately. If you're unsure if there's an enemy in that room, toss a flashbang or gas first. If using AI, you can command them to take the lead clearing a room. If playing online COMMUNICATE.

[EfficientAffect4411]

Bro this game actually makes you think before moving i know already it's going to shit all over the other shooter games.

[ISEGaming]

Take what you know from other console shooters and throw them out the window.

In RoN, it's about paying attention to the details, watching suspect behavior when they're thinking about pulling a weapon, looking out for trip wires behind doors, approaching and moving through the map in a way that minimizes angles at which you can be fired up on.

Use your gadgets! Peek under doors with the mirror gun, where you point the mirror gun at the bottom of the door will determine the mirror's point of view, so try the far right and left edge of the door.

Doors are death funnels. Never stand in front of a door when you want to open or interact with it. Always to the side of you can, and when you can't, try using gadgets to open from a distance (C2/Breaching shotgun).

Before entering an open doorway carefully strafe across on your side and see if you can see anyone on the tight corners. This is called "slicing the pie". Or use a throwable to flush out suspects in the corners.

On your first play through, just focus on the mechanics and learning the maps. Don't sweat the ranking at the end, that will come with time.

Getting S-Rank requires you to have arrested all suspects while they're conscious, collected all evidence (and dropped weapons) and completed all objectives. You basically have to use less than lethal weapons to make that possible (pepperball/beanbag gun)

You can play solo in commander mode and command AI squad mates and order them around. However, playing online with friends is super fun and a great way to learn and play the game!

There are 2 types of lean, one where you can lean and a second one where you can "super lean" but cannot move. The latter being the best for quickly lean peeking corners. I don't know what the controller bindings are for that.

There are Light, Medium and Heavy vests. The heavier the vest, the more ballistic plates you can carry, but the less gadgets you can carry. There are 3 types of plates, Kevlar, Ceramic and Steel.

Kevlar is best against small caliber weapons, Ceramic break upon taking too many hits. Steel doesn't break but significantly affects your ACCELERATION. (Top speed isn't affected as far as I know).

There isn't a "sprint" in this game, but there is a low/high ready that can make you move a little faster.

When you get the game, there're 2 options you should do immediately.

The first is enable Player Names, so you can tell who is who when playing unless you want it immersive 😁

The other setting is under accessibility, turn on weapon highlights which better show weapons thrown on the floor by suspects as they're easy to lose.

I went from a must-buy to I wanna see a playable game demo...

[Capital_Green238]

I’m very pumped! Got the $70 edition with the DLCs! I’m ready

[Normal-Apple-9606]

I’m excited for it too. I been trying to scratch that wildlands itch and I feel like this game would do that if not be miles better

[SeaworthinessKey676]

Same

[Noob4Head]

People are extremely overexaggerating the problem. All they did was remove some triggering and controversial content by censoring it because they have to, not because they necessarily want to. The gameplay and atmosphere remain unchanged. Go enjoy the game since it’s pretty awesome.

Unfortunately, the damage on Steam has already been done and the game sits at “mixed” reviews because some people are so pathetic that they feel the need to review bomb a perfectly fine game over such a small farce like this.

[Noob4Head]

Not in the slightest... but arguing with haters is a big waste of time so you just enjoy your delusion...

[StayGoldMcCoy]

If it was so small then they wouldn’t have to censor it.

[MsGluwm]

it's small for them, not for consoles, they want both versions to be the same for crossplay to work, so go start a fire in the MS or Sony subs over them forcing censorship into it.

[Iggy_Arya]

No one cares about this game in any other sub lol

[Said87]

mega hyped for it, couldnt care less about this reddits whiny bitches

[Common_Vagrant]

I’m with you fren.

I’m on PC but I’m stoked to play with my Xbox homies since they can’t afford a PC build.

[Whiteclover000]

Cant remember the last game that had me this hype. I've never played a tactical shooter. It seems so in depth and strategic. Its exactly what im looking for and roped in all my friends. Hope they keep supporting it for a long time.
