With the updates coming in Y5S1, Ubisoft is planning to drastically change how Recruit works and functions as a character within the Siege playerbase communities. This is a bad move overall, as giving recruit more weapon options should not take away from the options he originally had. Most players serious about learning and improving at the game will buy versions of the game that have operators included anyway. Also, many of the best moments one can have in a casual game of Siege come from a team of 5 recruits on attack, all with the m870 shotgun or riot shield. This is always been a core part of the Rainbow Six Siege experience in my opinion and I don’t want to lose it because some players don’t know how to handle choices. Overall, Siege is a video game, which are made to be enjoyed, and enjoyment should not have to come exclusively from taking the game extremely seriously at all times. Like many in the Siege community, I often just want to stop trying, perform the dumbest strategies possible, and I always have fun while doing that. When I am trying, however, I only really enjoy the game if I win, which obviously is only around 50% of the time. I believe these actions by the Ubisoft development team will discourage many of the more fun-oriented players from playing the game. The ideal solution for this is to add the new options while not taking away from what makes Recruit who he is.
