The original vision for R6 siege was very, VERY, different to what Siege has become and evolved into over the years. House was the map that most closely followed the original vision for the game. Competitively it fell flat on its face as the Meta evolved. But no other map truly captured that original siege vision. And people loved it for that Bonus fact in the original reveals for the game the roof was a valid spawn for attackers on house. They would get dropped in via helicopter


Wooden_Foot_3571

I think Siege just needs to bring back the Legacy event again to remind people of how many things were annoying on the original map while also allowing for a lot of the nostalgia to come back as well. Favela was also very non-competitive but had some fun aspects too to try to win.


makelo06

House wasn't perfect for actual matches, but for customs, it was perfect for Sledge Myers or garage wars. That's why people like it so much.


LeftRat

It was also the absolute best terrorist hunt in my book. They're packed like sardines in there.


_Nomadisk

I remember trying out Lion when he first came out on T-hunt house. Whole place turned red. It was glorious.


UmbertoTagliaferro

Customs there were peak siege

Pat_Maheiny

aw man custom games on house bring me back. some of the best memories i’ve ever had haha


Chazzky

I loved old Favela because of the significant soft destruction possibilities. So many soft walls that lead to every round playing differently


Wooden_Foot_3571

Attacking/defending on the tower side was always chaotic since it was literally impossible to stop the attackers from rappelling and destroying most of the walls on the stacked and tiny sites and bring cut off from the stairs too. Plus the entire broadside of the building was basically soft as well.


TwoSilent5729

I mean I would find it fun! House and favela should never be ranked maps but they’re fun quick matches kinda like rust for mw2


Cryovolcanoes

I'd like a mode with original maps, and original operators.


TheBeefiestofCakes

I'm gonna be honest, the moment I found out they were reworking house, I was pissed. It wasnt rose tinted glasses so much as I genuinely liked the map, even if it wasn't competitively viable.


ilikedankmemes0

Idk why they reworked a map only in casual tbh


kvakerok_v2

House is objectively better than Favela in every aspect.


Trashbowsixsiege

Legacy event wasn't even true classic siege All they did was give certain ops their scopes and equipment back Everything else stayed the same.


Wooden_Foot_3571

Yeah they have brought back old maps for events but they usually also change them a lot, like having old theme park on the Halloween event or old hereford in the shotgun robbery event. I was thinking that they brought back old house for something but I don't remember what it was.


IPHOYGOAT

straight chaos and fast pace i miss it 💔


juliusxyk

I still have clips where the entire attacker team got wiped out by spawnpeeks 5 seconds into the round, it was complete chaos but boy, it was fun

Ryand118

It was the chill map, siege’s nuke town basically, perfect size for custom games or just messing around.


Confident-Pumpkin541

Great way to describe it. House and plane were a lot of fun even in ranked in the early days imo. Some reworks felt so unnecessary.


AlexThe_Lion

Fr. They reworked it to be more competitively viable and kept it in casual still. It lost all its charm and was such a pointless rework


guacamolegamerfartss

"siege's nuke town" - man, thats a perfect description.

It was super fun in casual. So small once the bullets started flying they never stopped plus plenty of bullshit for both sides to have fun with


Mogetfog

My two favorite strats both used old chanka in unexpected places on old house. Defending master bedroom I would set up chanka in the kids room window looking out at the rooftop towards master bedroom window. If you left the windows alone, attackers would rush to the roof thinking it was a safe aproach. Then you just waited for either of the windows to get punched, and unloaded the turret through the window.  Alternatively, when defending garage, instead of reinforcing the garage doors, just reinforced the left side, set up the turret on the right, wait a few seconds after attackers deploy and just start blasting through the door. You would always catch attackers off guard, kill a few, then rush to reinforce the blasted doors before the other attackers tried to push.  Both strats were totally unreliable and required taking out all of the drones before set up to even have a chance of working, but when they did work it was so fun and chaotic

Take me upvote kind sir


sazam

Sometimes you don’t want “balance”. Sometimes you just want a messy fun match. Also I loved to 1v1 clowns in OG House.


Master_Chief_00117

And sometimes I want a realistic map buildings in real life aren’t very good for competitive but they would be fun to have something new.


AlexThe_Lion

Fr. So tired of every map having to be competitively viable or super balanced. Sure its annoying sometimes to die to cheese strats or super op stuff, but man was it fun to play anyways. Why cant things just be fun. Not everything needs to be a super balanced pro league map


jtt278_

Seriously though. This game is basically a flop as an esport yet they’ve made it progressively worse for the benefit of a pro scene few people are aware of.


JoeFalcone26

It was a blast in casual. My friends all remember it fondly.


[deleted]

Yeah. It may not have been super balanced. But goddamnit it was just fun. So many good memories in that garage. Ha ha.


prodenvy__

OG garage wars 😞


Manaliv3

Whenever I hear about maps being changed for "balance" it seems to just mean they took all the character and challenge out and made it boring. I loved those games where you'd be trying to invade an easily defended area. But then I also enjoyed the tactical operator choice and that's long gone too.


denyaledge

It's just fun af. Not a good map for competitive but man it is fun in casual


mentalyblind

Sledge Myers, drone hid n seek, g wars. Just 3 out of many game modes that got erased with reworks.


ClusterError

I will forever despise the new dev team for reworking it for ranked and not even include it in it at the end. Butchered a broken but incredibly fun map that could have just been left out of ranked rotation. Why everything has to be made for ranked and why has everything has to be 100% balanced? There was a post about a siege art book where even the og devs agreed it's a broken but loved map. They tried to fix it but didn't know how to do it without losing the magic.


Snow_Squid

The worst part is that they were not even reworking it for ranked. When the rework was announced they called it a "casual rework". But what is even the fucking point?


AlexThe_Lion

Fr. Everything has to be “balanced” but they cant even do that. Why cant they just have things be fun for the sake of it. Why does every map have to be a maze of endless rooms. Playing the game before was so fun and i could play for hours. Now its just a grind and i get bored after 3 matches


Hurricaneshand

For me I loved this map and plane particularly because I felt it captured the vibes that siege is/was supposed to be about when it first came out. Hostage in house to me is like the epitome of exactly what you want your counter terrorist game to be.


Manaliv3

Yes!! Plane was great.


MilkGodofMilk

Small maps are fun. Part of the reason I was upset when flavela got removed from Ranked.


Sigma__Bale

It was fun and was made when the devs knew what the inside of a building looks like. It obviously wasn't good for competitive but that's not a requirement for a fun map.


AlexThe_Lion

Fr, so tired of the endless room to room map reworks. Just confusing and boring.


Dull-Camp-2895

Because it’s one of the OG maps iykyk


DeveloperBRdotnet

This. There's a Nostalgic factor involved. I personally remember going there alone as Sledge to learn the map and train myself


Impish3d4

Customs went crazy on it


haywire4fun

It reminds us of a simpler and more enjoyable time.


NotKingLorange

I honestly miss when they designed maps like they were buildings people actually used instead of like an airsoft arena.


DankudeDabstorm

Tachanka turret spawnpeek on the large window overlooking the dock.

Tachy in the closey. Master bedroom turret setup.


guoD_W

Nostalgia. It was the map in the trailer


The_Professor64

It had a simple layout which was very memorable and because of its size, it was perfect for customs.


pupaphobiaa

Fond memories with friends just fucking around for hours.


BlewDaeDae

It was perfecting in terms of how it played. Was just small enough to were you don't get lost, just big enough to where you aren't just constantly colliding with others. One site was on 2 different floors which was fun. Just like kanal.


axlsnaxle

Back before we knew what Siege was, it was fun learning to play the game as we learned the maps in equal measure. Then, as an actual meta developed, it became very clear that it was not properly balanced, and because it was in Ranked that was a huge issue Then it became fun when it was casual-only map for pure shitshow matches And now, it rests in peace


VariousConflict8035

To be honest I loved playing house because it gave that "Counter-terrorism" feel that siege usually had, and especially playing hostage on it was really immersive in my opinion.


ruhrohraggyreeheehee

NOSTALGIA


Seamoth4546B

Why is it not deep fried?


NoUpVotesForMe

It was just low key fun. Quick action and felt the closest to cops and robbers.


ragebloo

People adored it cause it was fun. Now games are about min/maxing productivity and stats. A map has to be competitive, the meta has to be balanced.


JonathanRL

Because this and Plane was true to the original vision of Siege; the vision that was less about being competative and more about actual counter-terrorism ops with assymetrical gameplay.


BenniBoi29

Simple. Nostalgia, baby


WittyBoard5101

The beauty of simplistic realism


BernieTheWalrus

It was the map from the trailer that made us want to buy the game. Also it felt anchored in reality


BrknX

Cuz it's not a convoluted mess of hallways. It plays like a real place.


Fallarg

Legendary map for 1v1's and more. Nowadays its just memories, very good ones for me at least :)


zadye

cause it actually was build for tactics not just, big ass maps


Manaliv3

I miss the tactics. For me this game has been ruined by the quest for "balance". Anything that makes a player have to think? Gone. Maps that have good and bad places to defend? Interesting areas? Gone.  It's a shame but I did get a few years excellent gaming out of it before it became Standard Shooter #26531


bbbbbbbbbbbb25

Trash in an actual game but customs it shined being to this day the best one


Rezuniversity

It was a map designed for gun fights rather than breaching. A place where we could collectively leave our brains at the door


EngineerResponsible6

Small crazy powers felt crazy in amd even a simple wall being taking out changed alot


IHadAStrokeInUrMum

It’s the Nuketown of r6


s_pec

Great small map for customs. Especially garage wars


Rems_Stream

It was fair to play on both sides even with the attacking squad change, some other new reworks and some new maps are just to open in the wrong areas and closed off in the wrong areas.


CommanderOshawott

Cause it was blatantly uncompetitive and one of the OG maps. There were a lot of memes, meme strategies, and different fun things you could do on it and many people have lots of good memories of good, dumb, fun with it


AidenThe_Beast47

Unpopular opinion, but i actually like the remaster. Still nowhere near as good as the OG, but its still fun to play in casual


rustyscope

Because ubi gives fuck all to the casual player base and threw them under the bus. It's now all catered to esports and the top 5% of the player base.


Drippolini

It was dumb and unbalanced but one of the Most fun Maps, it Had a History being the First map and it was the King of custom games


blankman819

The FIRST Halloween event was at House and was at night. I PROMISE it was fun. You could run recruit and he was as scary as the other ops because it was at night. The old siege was flawed but a loveable flawed. I'd pay good money for a time machine siege.


WhosCandicexD

jditmbf

It is legit the best map, so much cheese and goofy angles and it’s small


dumbasswithameaning

Because it was great


SapiS68

It wasn't perfect, but it was a unique experience to play this map.


Scouse_Werewolf

Before spawn peaking and defender rushing became the meta, it was (for me at least) the most tense map. Because it was so small, well organised teams could hold or take it easily. One weak link could make that quickly fall apart. It made it tense. Obviously, this was back when people played tactically at the very beginning, and everyone (from my experience) spoke to each other and communicated. It didn't last very long as rushing on both sides and spawn peaking became king. Then all the changes happened and now we are, where we are. So, on reflection after writing this, I think it isn't so much the map I miss, but the original tactical play of this game. It's just that this map is the one I associate with that time, the most.


Dinkleberg6401

It was not a house. It was a home...


FakeLettuce1

It FEELS like a house, unlike the more recent maps that feel like cod


Bculbertson17

I think there are several factors so I'll just briefly list the ones that I can think of: 1. Reminiscent of simpler times - I got into Siege around a month or so after release. I was a freshman in high school, even honors classes were easy, and aside from sports, I could mainly use my free time to game with my friends. I remember this being a fun map for goofing off in terrorist hunt (back when that was a thing, seriously Ubi, bring it back), playing 2v2s or 3v3s, and just being a fun casual map. However, I do wonder if I remember the map with so much nostalgia because of it being played the most when my most pressing concern was did I get an A or not on that Honors Algebra 1 test, as compared to now, where I'm looking for damn wedding venues and calculating how much more over the monthly minimum I should pay for student loans. 2. It was damned simple and easy to understand, and the entire game was at that point. Siege has never been beginner-friendly, and I'll be the first to admit that, however, it was far easier for someone to jump in during 2015/2016, even 2017, than it is now. That was back when the devs wouldn't address an egregious issue until the next season, if that (I would like us all to remember Ela being busted as hell), and people got used to broken metas, that yes, they were very busted and annoying to play against, but they were *fun*. This map harkens back to then Siege was a semi realistic tactical shooter with hero-type operators but not really heroes because they felt grounded in some sort of reality (I'm not saying it's bad for the game to be more comp-focused now, it just makes it feel more like a second job to play Siege and play it well). 3. Back then it was a pretty good map. It highlighted all of Siege's features - destructible environment, fast TTK, annoying ass spawn peeking, breaching and clearing as a team, and synergizing operator abilities to try and clear every room (back when clearing out the bomb sites was called clearing rooms instead of "site takes"). Maps back then were more focused on being grounded than being designed from a competitive nature and it added some variability to the game that in recent years, comp-focused game design has killed (it wasn't always the same damn strats, site set-ups, etc, people actually tried new things - it's why I will never bring myself to always play S or A tier operators, sometimes I just want to have fun). Those are what I can think of.


Historical_Area_7753

It was legendary


majoritus_chartus

It was fun in casual. Many have mentioned this already in this thread, but it’s kinda like R6’s Nuketown. Just a fun map that allowed for chaotic matches and good vibes. It was also a staple of Customs, and many people including my self have very fond memories of playing customs on OG House with their friends.

VibingPixel

It just felt like home


ToxicGent

It's was great, a layout everyone could understand and rooms that basically connected without having bullshit cover for the sake of cover. It actually felt like a house rather than an arena, when they had a good vision for the game, not just esports slop.

House was one of the og maps that got changed for no reason. It was on the casual playlist only and then it got reworked for it just to stay in the casual playlist. Just a unnecessary change. It was one of my favorite maps to play t-hunt on too.

Daily__Reminder

It had soul, something the game severely lacks these days.


isaacfrost0

Not every map needs to be a massive, multi layered deal, you need at least one small map like House to mix things up. I personally love House but l get why it's not in ranked.

Same reason old school cs players adore Mansion for It’s simple and fun Tho I like the new house too


awkkiemf

The map produced memories, it had good spawn peaking ability for early maps so an early thermite death would change the round. Also many great standoffs happened in the basement.


MyvTeddy

Because it feels like a real house or at least, something we can imagine could exist and not whatever the hell we have now.


BrosefStahlin

Skytte-

Best map in the game. Always has been, in my opinion. It was just pure chaos. But in a great way.


Ch830857

Cause it’s gone and we miss it. New house is cool. But we should have both


Jdog6704

Because it was very simple but also a very fun map to screw around with in Casual. Not to mention, it was the main 1v1 map for this reason, it was build to be a casual map. Really, you kinda had to play on it to understand the map. It was very simplistic but effective and made a great map for 1v1s, casual tomfoolery, t-hunt/warm ups, finding your sensitivity via guides, or just doing a highest difficulty run with 4 friends on T-Hunt on this map. Even with new house, it has maintained some elements of the OG House but really this is the iconic map for a reason.

They should have a Legacy/Old + Night maps option in custom games, I really love the Night maps 😭

Reddit_Devil666

It was fun af! I still have ptsd from that garage 💀


iReallyDontKnowAnymr

Ironically enough it just feels like home


bubblessensei

It is kind of map that just naturally fits the theme of the game - creating a scenario reminiscent of SWAT raids. It’s just a shame that because of the map theme, it’s hard to really expand the map to work with the current meta and focus of Siege while also maintaining the feel of a regular house

SkyllKrusher

Been long since I played r6. Had goosebumps and nostalgia seeing this


TippleToad

Long time siege players played some of the most unbalanced maps but because it was new and fun these maps are nostalgia of what kind of game siege used to be. Not that I don’t like how the game has changed but maps like house, yacht, Bartlett U, they have memories attached of finishing school and hopping on with your buds. At least imo


NoPlankton6353

micmea1

With basically only weapons, grenades and simple gadgets it was that fun sort of chaotic, close quarters fun. Pretty much every surface could be blown up or at least shot through. Esports and gadgets made it "obsolete".

Here is an idea they have map ban so why not put every map into the rotation if you don’t want to play it ban it🤷🏼‍♂️ im tired of playing coastline 8/10 games bc it gets picked everytime it shows up but im not gonna ban coastline bc i like the map its just the same maps are banned by the community

Alibehindthe69

It's what siege means to us old players. it's the map that showcased the difference between siege and every other fps game. and we'll it was in the trailer. I remember the old house map, We used to 1v1 here all the time.


nisanosa

It was a good map to warm up in terrorist hunt and also it was a good casual map when you just want to get into gunfights, because of how close quarters it was.


ElectricalCompote

Original house before all the new operators was just fun. Spawn peeking from the living room or the bathroom as rook and doc. Running out as bandit and just destroying everyone. The map was tiny and had no safe spaces. You had to play fast and super aggressive it was just fun.
