Rainbow Six Siege's Operation Shadow Legacy introduced a number of key changes to the game, but the most controversial of all of the new additions is the Ping System. However, the game's developer Ubisoft is doubling down on Ping System 2.0, despite backlash from experienced players.
In a recent blog post regarding the game's balance, the developers took the time to highlight the impact Ping System 2.0 is having on the game: "This level of accuracy in player non-verbal communications is unprecedented, and something we wanted to push for a long time as communication is a key aspect of Siege's gameplay." Players without a microphone now have the ability to highlight important information without needing to utter a word.
Ping System 2.0 introduced contextual yellow pings, which could be sent while controlling your Operator or using cameras and drones. The result of this change allows teams to spot enemies without putting their character in harm's way. Ubisoft wants players to use the new Ping System alongside verbal communication to ensure maximum efficiency.
