Original Post — Direct link

I realize this may be a triggering topic but I tend to gravitate to coop PvE games (Vermintide, Left4Dead, some older R6). I have not played Siege, but I think Extraction could appeal to someone with my taste in games.

I realize that for someone who played Siege and knows the operators and weapons, this game may not be anything “original” but for me everything will be new. I also don’t want to overhype it for myself. There is only 12 maps - how long would these be? If I can run through them in 5 min, then maybe an hour of play is not very much.

Can someone give me a little overview of what are some of the potential problems with this game, and maybe some of the potential things to get excited about?

Thank you. Do we know how long a mission will be in terms of minutes? Also, does this game have a chance of survival more than 1-2 months or will we see a drop in interest quite quickly - what would your bet be based in what you know right now?

People were saying that this looks like a “free to play” game reusing assets - that doesn’t sound promising. Is Ubi communicating something that would change that perception in terms of some brilliant gameplay loop that I have not read about?

To give you some idea of the scope of the game.

As others have said, you have a 15-min timer to complete each of the 3 sub zones in each map. So in theory, the max length of a regular game mode play session will be 45 mins.

But it will all depend on the Objectives you encounter and the difficulty you are playing under. People have only seen the game played on the easiest difficulty level on the easiest maps so far and in full squads of 3.

Add the harder difficulties to the mix and try playing Solo and you suddenly have a game that can be extremely difficult. (I'm speaking from experience as I've only played the game solo)

Add to this the things you haven't seen at all yet:

Proteans (I've yet to defeat one)
Maelstrom Protocol/Ranked/Leaderboard Mode (The most difficult mode in the game)
Post Launch Events/Ops
Other "Things" we haven't mentioned at all yet that will add more challenges for you to try.

Sit tight and be ready for some Major news and info over the coming weeks as was mentioned during the most recent investor's call.

Thanks a million :)

I just learned that there is a tech test. Where can I register for it? I play on PS5?

You cannot register for the test but if you have a friend who is registered on PS5 they are able to invite you.
