    Team play with family or friends is awesome fun. High quality online multiplayer only. No campaign. R6 is a solid performer, while not trying to be everything to everyone. I love it.

    To get the most fun out of it, press start on main menu and turn certain modes on and off. I like playing mostly classic terrorist hunt and bomb defuse TH. On TDM, I play mainly hostage rescue. For operator I go with Sledge. He has powerful weapons and is good for beginners. I'm glad SP is basically challenge tower training missions.

    This is very much like any other traditional Rainbow 6. The explosive environments add so much challenge and tacticle planning. The only thing that keeps this game from getting a 10/10 is that they didn't include local co-op and a tps cover system this time. If you like games like Socom, Unit13, Ghost Recon, Swat, Counter Strike, or anything related to armed forces/ espionage, this is a dream come true.    … Expand

    It is tactical, has an awesome destruction and looks good.
    It does not have a singleplayer campain, but I don't want one, and everyone complaining about this shouldn't have bought this game; it was clear that there is only multiplayer.
    Regarding the coop and training missions: They don't make much fun an the AI is pretty stupid, but for learning the game it is ok (As I mentioned earlier, I only care about multiplayer anyways).

    About Multiplayer:
    It makes a hell of a lot of fun, but not everyone is going to like it, since it is a little bit different from COD or Battlefield, although after playing lots of Battlefield 3 before I quickly felt comfortable in Rainbow 6 Siege.

    The main issue at the moment are hitdetection and sometimes the netcode, but you don't notice it too often. Sometimes you wonder why the other one killed you so fast, but usually you just were in a stupid spot. The sound is sometimes also not perfectly matching with the game (someone is shooting and you can't hear the shots/ explosion sounds come from the wrong direction), which is quite annoying. But even though there are this problems, I already had over a dozend of playful hours in this game.

    If Ubisoft fixes this issues and works on a few more improvements, this game will be really awesome, but it is already a really good game. Another thing to mention is: There are not a lot of alternatives in this genre besides maybe Counter Strike, so we should be happy Ubisoft made such a game.    … Expand

    To the Rainbow Six veterans. I am a fan of the series since Raven Shield. Of course, the series has evolved, an Siege has not that much in common with Raven Shield anymore. But It is a very good game on it's own and maybe should not be compared to it's predecessors (i know it's called "rainbow six", but obviously for marketing reasons). But if you liked R6 for tactical gameplay and it's great atmosphere you will like Siege, too, that's for sure.    … Expand

    I've never been a twitch gamer, and online TDM games have nearly always left me discouraged, but R6 can be played as anything from a very slow tactical game, using the environment and your gadgets to counter and outwit your enemies, to a fast paced shooter; the amazing thing is, the two work wonderfully well together, without giving a clear advantage to one or the other.

    A great FPS-er can run and gun, using his quick attacks to prevent a tactical player from countering fast enough, while a tactician will have traps and counters, often using the destructible environment to prevent a frontal assault.

    The use of "rock paper scissors" operatives giving advantages and countering the advantages of other operatives makes games unpredictable and often very interesting and fresh.
    Teams of players working together can have a HUGE advantage, but since I play only random matches I can say the game is still incredibly fun without a group of friends playing with you.
    The community is a mixed bag ranging from helpful and instructive to downright toxic, but mostly being a good place in the middle..

    Technically, R6 isn't perfect, matches take 0.5-2 minutes to join, and dropping out of a match happens (even if rarely), cheating is STILL an issue (even if it's rarer these days), and lag can be an issue, but overall playing this on a high-end laptop over wifi, I hardly ever experience connection problems.    … Expand

    The only complain of me at this moment is the server. It is unstable and sometimes takes so long like 4 min+ to find a room. If Ubisoft fix their server and increase speed of matchmaking, I would give 10/10. Definitely one of the best FPS multiplayer I've ever played in my life.    … Expand

You can't just go in and play a short 10 minutes and then be done with it. This game takes time and an understanding of the maps, tactics and the other operators in your team.

    If you play with a group of people who DO understand some basic tactics, have knowledge of the map and know the other operators in the team and are willing to work with them then the game is absolutely amazing and just kills every other MP game out now. Apparently there won't be "dlc" content but rather "early access" to the new stuff when buying a season pass which is perfect. I never buy that stuff and this way the community doesn't get split into 2 or 3 fractions.

    THIS IS THE BEST SHOOTER CREATED IN YEARS. My only complaints are the server issues from time to time, and character change choices that the developers make, Glaz's new buff for instance is completely overpowered and removes the skill of using his character as target acquisition with him now is like an easter egg hunt in a whitewashed room.

Attackers try and locate a container by scaling the building breaking through barriers and precise plan breaches. The defenders have to barricade the premises, set traps and shields to stop the attackers at all costs. Each class has a unique ability and a set pool of weapons each ability is used greatly to benefit the team whether its setting up bulletproof stronger shields and electronic heart monitors to breaching hammers and jammers. The terrorist hunt is back, the classic rainbow six mode is here you have to take a defuser and disarm 2 bombs with lots of respawning terrorists.

    Variety of choice, decision making and communication. These are the elements that make this game great. EG.
    You can hear someone running in the room above, running carelessly down the corridor. You might place a breaching charge on the ceiling and explode your way into the room, or you could start shooting through the ceiling hoping you hit somthing, or you could drop a little drone and race up there to view through the onboard camera, marking anyone found for your team.

    The environments are nearly completly destructable and can be used to shoot through, smash through, detonate or re-enforce as you see fit. Every game plays out differently due to player choice of character and decisions made on the fly and in response to team mates or opposition..

    Even playing with complete beginners can be fun due to thier hilarious and often clueless decision making, accidentally slipping off roofs, having to run away from their own badly thrown grenades and just plain panicking. My own personal worst was planting a C4 charge, then panicking in response to an enemy entering the room immediately detonating it, without moving away. Wrong trigger! Dead team mates can cycle through point of view for the live players making it even more embarassing if you're the last man on your team standing at the time.

    Slowly as you come to understand the multitude of guns, armour, and gadgets available, you can begin to plan for each encounter more effectively. It's a game that really lends itself to team chat. Nice to see a game that brings people together in a game requiring thought, planning, teamwork and communication in order to succeed.    … Expand

    To all the players comparing this game with Vegas: This is NOT Vegas. Just because it doesn't have the same features of one game doesn't make it a terrible game. Siege wasn't designed with 3rd person in mind. 3rd person would grant campers a huge advantage. In Siege, one must rely on their senses to determine enemy position, i.e. footsteps in the next room, someone walking through barbed wire, etc. These minute features are what make this game such a fantastic tactical squad-based shooter. You have to strategize with your team, accurately execute plans to complete the objective or fail together.

    This isn't for the COD player looking for quick-kill gratification. You won't find anyone sprinting across the map with guns blazing. That'll only get you killed. In fact, sprinting creates so much noise you'll quickly find yourself watching your corpse get teabagged via killcam.

    My one and only gripe with the game as of release are the bugs. Hopefully Ubisoft can fix these soon.    … Expand

You can get more than 6000 points just by completing the single player training Scenarios. This can unlock and fully equip 3-4 operators.
