In the saturated jungle of Siege UA-camrs that just shoot their guns all day while sharing almost the same thumbnails … Macie is an unique and rare tactical Siege UA-camr.
It’s so sad how Macie keeps telling them to wait and everyone just keeps on dying. While rush meta can be fun, everyone has memories of the good old, fun and tactical times.
I think we all need to come to terms that the game is finally dying. Not in terms of playerbase but in terms of play philosophy and the fact it wont ever be as tactical as it used to be in year 2-5. Tiktok, youtube shorts and all of the recoil buffs, and operator damage buffs have made the gunplay way too influential. All while they NERF trap operators and utility ops like smoke, maestro etc. Back in the day rushing was very risky because the enemies had a MILLION things you had to look out for. Now maestro is nerfed, smoke is nerfed, they re slowly removing more and more barbed wire in favor of shit like bulletproof cams and observation blockers (they re nice but they wont stop rushers). They nerfed lesion, they re about to nerf frost etc. I play like Macey (im not as good as him and i play on console) but i face the exact same problems as him. No one drones, reinforces, play post plant, no one uses utility etc
No, ranked was always like that. Like it’s crazy to think champs 3 years ago played tactical. It was always run and gun. Siege is only truly tactical when played in a team.. that was always true and it still is today
@@axelbrackeniers5488i disagree. Technically there is even more to worry about for rushers. Like tf are you supposed to when rushing against an Azami setup and a Fenrir ? Smoke was never good at stopping rushes anyway, and I don’t remember them nerfing him ? Game has less bullshit A/E mechanics, is slower so I really don’t see where this idea comes from. The game isn’t more TDM than before (maybe slightly but it’s irrelevant). People at high rank just play like monkeys, it’s nothing new, has been like this for years.. soloQ is like 80% a matter of aim alone. Unless you are as smart as macie
@@wakatpr6583 i dont know about you but 1-2 years ago people tried to be tactical. I always saw my enemies play mute, smoke, aruni etc even in plat 3 and rounds would last to the last 20-30 seconds. Now my whole team is dead in 50 seconds on attack
@@axelbrackeniers5488I saw that like 3-4 years ago. The rush meta started way longer than 1-2 years ago. There was even a rush meta in year 2 I think where they had to introduce operators like Lesion to slow down the meta. And it’s not even the gadget balancing causing that. You have so many gadgets that impairs player movements and the latest operator even impairs vision. Yet, despite all those gadgets that affect movements, people go crazy specially when it’s a 4v1. Nothing to do with operator balancing because no matter how much operator balancing you do, that run and gun mentality has always and will always be there. Literally the only reason why the game was tactical at the start was because people were still learning the game. Once the player growth went up, you started getting more players from run and gun games like CoD joining the community. There’s also the problem with ranked 2.0 putting more run and gun players in the top rank when they don’t deserve it but that’s a discussion for another time
It's such a shame that methodical operators that take time and careful strategy are a waste of time with the team death match/rush the obj meta. This is why I ❤ your content Macie
They are most definitely NOT a waste of time because they are Meta, if you put champ players against people who actually know how to play comp they’ll get slammed even with better gun skill.
TDM is not really "meta", just a boring ass way to get easy picks before putting your team at a man disadvantage. Or at a strategic disadvantage like when you spawnpeek as an Azami/Wamai/Solis.
It’s not a waste of time, macie proves it everyday. Like if a meta is the most effective tactic available, then what macie does is the META. The sad truth is that a good aim is enough to climb up the ranks but it has always been the case. Ranked in siege has always been pretty meaningless. If you want siège to be tactical, it’s probably only at pro play that you can, and with some rare exceptions like macie
Man, this is pure art at this point. It's pretty sad that this is becoming a rare way of playing siege. If only people treat their G fuel induced zoomer brain and just slow down the game play.
It was so fun to see you play my main and get good kills with him on stream creating what is essentially as close as we’ll ever get to the Fisher Masterclass. Thanks Macie!
I really appreciate the inclusion of the outback clip where you didn’t win the 1V1. The end result of the round doesn’t negate all of the work you put in throughout it. I’m happy that it was there. Great video!
Zero has to be one of the best solo q operators out there, he just has everything you need to do well yourself. He has strong weapon options, a Gonne-6, hard breaches, and extra cameras that double as utility destroyers. And he's 3-speed. If only he still had his frags, he'd be perfect XD
Yeah, only issue is that in this tdm meta, you have to play fast and make your way into site fast, and Zero is a tactical op with 4 wall piercing cameras that requires a bit of time to strategize, clear utility, and use as useful flank cams/site cams. By the time you set up your cams your team is most likely dead or in site.
I've said it on a previous video already but seriously, I'm getting older and worse at siege but these young guys that play it constantly and are supposed to be professionals make me look amazing, still love your videos even when the opposition and your teammates act like they've never played before
the only reason why I watch macie is because he play with all the operator's abilities while others are litterally RUN and GUN. Cheers macie, u're the best 🔥🔥
One simple thing that I think Siege could do to slow down, or even stop the TDM nature of the game right now is to force Attackers to plant the Defuser instead of just winning by killing everyone. Similar to how Defenders need to destroy the Defuser even though every Attacker is dead.
Great video as always. Some nice transitions in there too! I’m glad you kept the Outback clip even though you died. Obviously nice plays in the clip but it also makes your content more engaging because we never know if it’s a clip where you clutch or not. ❤
Macie is the only creator on UA-cam for whom I like every single video the second I click on it. I just know it’s going to be good because it is every time.
Macie, you are the main reason to why I haven't given up this game. Your playstyle keeps inspiring me to come back and try new things. So greatful for your yt-clips too, because I don't have time to watch your streams
Macie, I've been playing this game the whole time its been out, watching content the whole time content has been being made. You're the GOAT bro. God bless
I’ve invented the term “Warden brain rot” this applies when a warden 1. Doesn’t use their gadget even when there’s a ying 2. Runs out and dies because they’re cocky 3. Peek and challenge everything because they have a 1.5 and die because they’re COCKY
Hey I'm glad you gave Zero a shot! I was there in chat when you were asked about your opinion on Zero, and you were kinda meh on him. I chatted that I thought he was the ultimate solo queue operator due to his ability to remove gather intel, remove gadgets (especially wall denial), and then hard breach the wall by himself. You then gave him a chance and I'm glad you have seen and embraced his potential. He's my favorite attacker right now.
5:30 this clip must be so weird for someone who didn't play R6.. there are awesome gadgets, you're fighting other operators, outsmarting them with tactical approach and suddenly there's Rick
I love Zero so much and he can be so good, but there's this weird glitch where if you check a cam at an awkward time of the reload you can't use your other Argus'
When you don’t even play siege because when you try to play like Macie, it just never works out. So you just watch all his uploads to dream of playing with his game sense.
I love zero, he is my favorite op of all time and he is really the op that the solo que community needs. He can get hardbreach, destroy electronics and have so much intel that if you learn to master him you can solo to champ with enough patience and skill
world peace is nice, but my dream is to have the same amount of awareness and IQ in Siege that Macie does, i get more and more mind blown every video. one of kind man truly.
Zero is Lowkey underrated and what brought me back to him is that him and fenrir have the same weapon 🔥 beautiful for one taps it reminds me of OG bandit
Man I love zero. Such good util and an awesome gadget. People always talk about how good of a solo pick he is but the team play is another level and incredibly easy to pull off since your dead teammates just need to ping stuff to be helpful. It requires no prior planing/op combos and no real effort which are usually hurdles for teamwork with randoms.
in a wasteland of jiggle peeking TDMers who complain about skill-based hitreg, Macie is an oasis of what I remember Siege used to be. Love watching these
One thing i noticed is the f2000 in siege is actually designed incorrectly. The ejection slot is underneath the gun just infront of the pistol grip so you would never see the shells flying out the side like in the game
16 minute video, we eating good today
And it was over so soon 😔

At 51 years old and retired, one of my enjoyments is watching Macie Jay plays in the mornings. :)
retired at 51?! that’s incredible, congratulations !
I retired at 46 actually. Just turned 51 😁. Thank You@@caleb.a11
I see myself doing the same in the future. I wanna be this guy
hope you enjoy retirement dude. absolute respect.

@@VideoEssayWatcher5484 Youre statement kinda contradicts itself

Perhaps Ubi have released too many operators and its too confusing for ADHD playerbase so they just go with the short attention span "rush" instead.
It’s not a waste of time, macie proves it everyday.

The brain of a warden main indeed. 😂
not really, it has nothing to do with warden. Its the same people that "mained alibi, kapkan, jager, doc and so on.
@@stepansvabenicky1638bro prolly mains warden
@@stepansvabenicky1638 we know you always runout thirsty for kills, my dude.
Splattered brains.
@@stepansvabenicky1638 good point. And the people being toxic to you probably didn't play when Jager and Bandit had ACOG.
Macie is the definition of "Batman with prep time".
That sneaky crouch walk at the end, for real lore accurate Sam Fisher haha.
Amazing Vid as always Macie
Love that bandit trick play. Use cams to plan, Bait the battery trick, use gonne 6 to enter and execute. Beautiful.
It's always such a joy to watch Macie Jay because i keep having so many "aha that's clever" moments
Nothing like deafening the enemy with a gonne 6 so they don’t get sound cues
I came back to playing siege recently and I have been enjoying it a lot, very nostalgic with so many good memories
Honestly think Sam’s cams are the best counter to the TDM meta, no one checks anything and swings so your cams aren’t gonna get shot loool
That's true, I haven't seen a single video were Sam's cams are shot.
Good to see another Zero connoisseur
This is why I love Macie and Evan. They use tactics in two different styles.
Man, when he fired that cam from spawn on border my jaw dropped.
Man, this is pure art at this point. It's pretty sad that this is becoming a rare way of playing siege. If only people treat their G fuel induced zoomer brain and just slow down the game play.
It was so fun to see you play my main and get good kills with him on stream creating what is essentially as close as we’ll ever get to the Fisher Masterclass.
Thanks Macie!

That transition at 9:10 actually caught me off-guard. Swag editing, Macie.

Cheers macie, u're the best 🔥🔥
Macie plays r6 like a surgeon operates a patient
Honestly i think Zero is the best example of "one man army" on Siege today. Great stuff as always Macie.
Lore accurate Sam Fisher Indeed, specially that play at 10:24 and then the last one. What fun to watch this kinda siege.
7:55 having multiple teammates dead and *offering* to take cams is the dream, and then you capitalize on it immediately. Good shit as always Macie
One simple thing that I think Siege could do to slow down, or even stop the TDM nature of the game right now is to force Attackers to plant the Defuser instead of just winning by killing everyone. Similar to how Defenders need to destroy the Defuser even though every Attacker is dead.
When the Argus Cams are ready to be used that's when you know Sam Fisher lurking around with his signature stealthy style 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚 Go Team GhostEyes
Great video as always. Some nice transitions in there too! I’m glad you kept the Outback clip even though you died. Obviously nice plays in the clip but it also makes your content more engaging because we never know if it’s a clip where you clutch or not. ❤
I love watching Macie, he is the reason this game looks good. Also the only reason I go back to it every so often.
Macie is the only creator on UA-cam for whom I like every single video the second I click on it. I just know it’s going to be good because it is every time.
Macie knows every angle of this game and with Fisher He makes it look easy. BTW I´ve never seen that final animation from Sam.
Macie, you are the main reason to why I haven't given up this game. Your playstyle keeps inspiring me to come back and try new things. So greatful for your yt-clips too, because I don't have time to watch your streams
alternate title: macie fed up with teammates and opponents giving him easy content
Macie, I've been playing this game the whole time its been out, watching content the whole time content has been being made. You're the GOAT bro. God bless
Your gameplay makes me appreciate just how different Siege is from other tac shooters. Always makes me change how I see the game and how to play it.
I’ve invented the term “Warden brain rot” this applies when a warden
1. Doesn’t use their gadget even when there’s a ying
2. Runs out and dies because they’re cocky
3. Peek and challenge everything because they have a 1.5 and die because they’re COCKY
Playing Zero has got to be the best feeling when you uses him correctly
Since he's been in the game, he's the only attacker i use. Loved the splinter cell games and he's def an underrated attacker.
I'm happy Macie shows himself losing a gun battle every now and then. It's let's me know that he is human.
Hey I'm glad you gave Zero a shot! I was there in chat when you were asked about your opinion on Zero, and you were kinda meh on him.

I always get a chuckle out of Macie’s evil laugh
Amazing clips. Especially the first one. Cinematic
The gradual growing frustration of Macie Jay with the TDM ranked players has been pretty funny to watch.
the karambit kill to finish it off was perfect
The transitions are always so clean, I love it
I love the way you play and always love the clips, I feel like I'm always learning something new when I watch your videos, thank you
Dude I love watching you play. You are straight S tier man. So many ways to use ops that I never thought of
the slight smoove transitions make it so entertaining to watch
Feels a little weird watching macie jay after all these years and seeing how much this game changed lol. Love ya macie
That defuser transition at 9:09 was god tier
Nah, it was not.
But 10:19 was good-tier though.
Don't use God in vein.
Your R6 content is the best in the scene easily.
another upload from my favorite skateboarding montage youtuber! let’s go dude!!!
That play deafening with the gonne6 and then dropping was crazy. I never would have thought of that
Bring back the full game fridays we need em
Macie’s brain is so big it has its own gravity
Another great vi! I’m always looking forward to the next one! Love your content and thanks for being you Macie
4:53 that is such a good cam spot
I'm loving the Zero content lately. He's pretty underrated in my opinion.
I love the 16 minute vid so many good clips and just enjoyable all around
I absolutely LOVE Sam Fischer. He is one of the best utility ops on attack and great for solo queue. Won many matches with him.
the transition at 9:11 was satisfying af
5:30 this clip must be so weird for someone who didn't play R6.. there are awesome gadgets, you're fighting other operators, outsmarting them with tactical approach and suddenly there's Rick
10:21 ayye woah I like that transition 👀
I love zero and i think they nailed the operaror perfectly. You actually have splinter cell vibes playing the guy
I love Zero so much and he can be so good, but there's this weird glitch where if you check a cam at an awkward time of the reload you can't use your other Argus'
When you don’t even play siege because when you try to play like Macie, it just never works out. So you just watch all his uploads to dream of playing with his game sense.
i like the closing statement, macie. Thanks for the content :D
Posted on Sam Fisher’s birthday, even greater 🔥
"Hey guys it's a 3v1 and I'm putting up cams if you can just wai-
FRIENDLY LAST OPERATOR STANDING
It was good to enjoy my lunch as a truck driver watching this Great video keep up the great work Macie jay
I love zero, he is my favorite op of all time and he is really the op that the solo que community needs. He can get hardbreach, destroy electronics and have so much intel that if you learn to master him you can solo to champ with enough patience and skill
world peace is nice, but my dream is to have the same amount of awareness and IQ in Siege that Macie does, i get more and more mind blown every video. one of kind man truly.
Man Macie plays Zero so well. This is textbook on how he should be played.
Taking breakfast and watching a good siege video. Thx macie
"They didn't reinforce...anything." I think this Macie Jay quote sums up siege before the change that gave quickplay auto reinforcements on site.
Zero is Lowkey underrated and what brought me back to him is that him and fenrir have the same weapon 🔥 beautiful for one taps it reminds me of OG bandit
Such an entertaining player and good guy, awesome stuff Macie and keep it up man!
Man I love zero. Such good util and an awesome gadget. People always talk about how good of a solo pick he is but the team play is another level and incredibly easy to pull off since your dead teammates just need to ping stuff to be helpful.

9:07 broo that transition messed with my head for a sec there lmaoo
Every time makes me want to play a different op, awesome vod

Beautiful stealth plays throughout the vid! Suppressor is underrated !
Banger video JayMeister, LOVE to see that.
Idk but macie the goat im playing the game after every match i hurry to watch more and more
always a good day when macie uploads
I started playing sam fisher a lot recently. As a solo player, he's a lot of fun
Idk why every time Macy has an operator clip and uses their gadget in a very cool way, I need their elite skin all of a sudden
That transition at 9:10 * chef's kiss *
macie you somehow manage to make any and every operator look op
I wish you'd show the more basic year 1 operators in your vids just to see how you play them. You're so good!
One thing i noticed is the f2000 in siege is actually designed incorrectly. The ejection slot is underneath the gun just infront of the pistol grip so you would never see the shells flying out the side like in the game
That site setup that 10:30 lmao. The absolute state of siege champion rank.
macy that drone skill is Freaking amazing!
i feel like macie plays siege the way it was intended to be played
Yo the strat at the beginning was DIRTY 🔥

Yessir nothing like a Macie vid with the grub 🤙💯💥
