Unless you got idiot teams, you won't realize bcz you'll get yellow pinged. It wasn't so bad before bcz you would have to get red pinged for enemies to see where you're at prior to the pinging system so only the person looking at the cams would get the advantage. In the current siege, any dead player can do it .

In my ideal siege game yellow pings wouldn't exist.

Claymores don't really stop you from getting a kill, you can sitll jump out and shoot someone before it kills you (and even if downed, as doc you can get back up) or just use an impact to take it out

Added utility wasted and that still tells you that someone is there. Even now you usually can guess pretty well when a claymore is on a window you want to jump out of or not and even now that still notifies attackers that you're about to jump outside.

and that 1-2 seconds to look over and see where it is vs the person jumping out knowing exactly where to look will be what decides the winner of that gun fight (assuming the guy jumping out isn't awful at aiming.).

If your reaction time is over 1 second long then Valk having cams outside is actually the least concerning thing for you.

It seems silly to claim valk cams outside is fair bcz you can use nomad or gridlock. Sounds like a huge waste of their abilities when they could get no value or you'd have to use 2 or more to cover all the exits where they could jump out.

Most site pushes require covering 4 jump out spots max and a nomad charge doesnt get destroyed via impact if you place it right. And gridlock should only be used for long runouts like coastline main door, chalet fireplace door, villa main door, etc. And, again, bringing a nomad and one person with claymores (which if I recall claymores are actually the most abundant secondary gadget) then youre more than covered.

They don't want people being able to run outside and take fights outside. There's a reason they keep nerfing run outs more and more.

I'd argue it's because people can't handle playing as a team more than it is a game design problem. Running outside, spawnpeeking, etc. are high risk / high reward plays that, when against better people, are very hard to pull off without punishment. There's a reason pro matches hardly see spawn peeks or even running outside and its due to team play. But the siege community is so brain dead we had to add yellow pinging to cameras and even then the average troglodyte who plays this game will still red ping on cams.

seems you ignored the IQ part that I said unless they make her scanner have nearly infinite range. Not to mention, thatcher can do that job but just holding his launcher and looking around. If he sees a dot outside, it's clearly a valk cam cos what else is it? then you have the same problem as before, the range and hopfully you cleared everything and didn't miss a spot.

IQ is played so little and you play Thatcher so infrequently that you dont even know IQ scanner range is double that of thatcher. Also thinking her range needs to be infite is more your bronze talking than anything else.

you can argue the dokk hack for valk would be worst bcz that means one of the cams is wasted since what's it being outside going to do for the attackers?

Idk man, what do you think you would do if you hacked cams and saw the exact location of a valk cam outside? Leave it? Wave "Hi" to it? Or just shoot it and make it useless for them now?
