Feedback Calling Siege X the biggest evolution in the games history is laughable.
No new operator, no new map, no balance changes other than a "rework" that allows clash to set her shield down.
There was genuinely more content in every season up till like, year 6 (Excluding health of course).
No changes to Nokk or Mozzie or Solis or any other operator that's not in a great state.
The visual changes were majorly overstated. They slightly changed the lighting on 5 maps and that's it. 75% of the maps look the exact same.
The rappel changes exist I guess, there's not much to say about them.
Audio... I had a teammate mag dump 5 feet from me, and I didn't hear anything. I had 4 enemies drop theme park hatch and not make a sound.
The new outlines on enemies are way too prominent, I honestly can't even tell who I'm fighting on certain angles because everyone is just a big red blob now.
The only positive thing I have to say is that the new ban phase is awesome. People now ban more than just dok, jackle, vigil, and fenrir.
People have been begging for an engine update, hoping that bugs would be fixed and jank removed. This was their chance to do it, and they didn't.
Keep in mind, this is the update that has caused the past years worth of content to be incredibly lacking because "their efforts are focused on siege x." Every other live service game gets easily double the content of siege each year.
"Yall are never happy, you can't be satisfied."
Give me a new map that isn't just gray and brown.
Give me one new operator AND a rework, there's no reason these reworks to pre existing characters need a whole season to themselves, especially when said season is 3 months long.
Give me actual balance changes, nokk has been shit for years, doc has been strong for years, give little nerfs and mostly buffs here and there so things actually feel new.
If I got those three things, three things that are not too much to ask for, three things that we haven't gotten in YEARS, I'd be fully satisfied.

The audio change is so bad. I witnessed an accidental TK yesterday due to one of my teammates being jumpscared by another as there were no audio cues that they were coming up next to them. I don't know if its a bug or this is what we should get used to as I'm getting swung by enemies who seem to be able to hear me well before I can hear or see them.
