    the matchmaking is so bad it ruins the whole experience, and it makes me hate the game, which is sad because it could be a great team based-fps. The patches doesn't work either.

    It is a shooter. And it is not the typical Rainbow Six. But for a Game it is quite good.

    The Problem is, that it has the Ambition to be a skillful tactic shooter, what actually happens the most time however is pure luck. In your typical 5 vs 5 Game everything is important.

Your position, the position of Gadgets, the Gadgets itself ( so which Operator you chose). But ultimately its just pure luck. I have seen people randomly shooting through walls and giving you a headshot. People who throw grenades or c4 randomly somewhere and killing you. But that is not a Problem of the Game.

    Because the Game itself has been improved a bit. But still. Loading Bugs. One Person is on the Desktop while loading and everyone is stuck in the loading screen. Matchmaking is awful. Either you are alone or in a full squad or you can wait forever to get into a Game. Very much glitching through walls while lying on the ground and getting shot through an indestructible Wall. Holes that arent holes and you thow a grenade against an invisible Wall.

    And finally. It is kind of true. It is not as casual as CoD or Battlefield. Which doesnt mean that People are prevented from that Gameplay. It happens a lot, that Defenders just screw at everything run out and either shoot you at your spawn or run towards you outside and shoot everyone because no one saw that coming. And then claim they got an Ace and we are noobs. And what is their penalty? Being constantly spotted. Thats all. Instead of giving them 10 seconds and the will be killed, no they are spotted and thats it.

    Or even better. My Squad is playing a lot of this game. We are playing it every Day and still have fun even if it is kind of repetitive. But the most unbelievable thing that happens, is that there are still Trolls that shoot their own teammates at spawn. Or better the whole team is fighting and insult each other leading to even more teamkills. ( was a funny Game though)

    All in all, the game sure has its moments. But the fact that it is a casual version of Rainbow Six, the lack of Game modes and the kind of irritating Gameplay decisions are often annoying. And of course dont forget Uplay. A fun but average Shooter.    … Expand

    Probably my favorite online shooter that came out in 2015. Has a similar feel of Counter Strike mixed with some Battlefield. I would rate this much higher than an 8 if it wasn't for some bugs and server issues. (Seriously they should let us host our own servers).

    But the gameplay and map designs are solid. Kudos Ubi, you made a game I am willing to buy from you.

    The game has a good concept, a medium delivery, and a good core, but it doesn't meet most expectations. The game was better during the E3 Demo, hence when you buy the game, everything is more limited than shown in the gameplay demo. Long story short: Good Concept, and Medium Standard, but could've been a lot better than it's given potential. Medium wedge on the 60$ Value.

    I am cutting to the chase:
    RB6 Siege offers a great gaming experience (disclaimer: I have never played another RB6 game) with great graphics, sound effects and even HD textures. This is just the shell of the game offering far more than that.

    RB6 Siege offers a great gaming experience (disclaimer: I have never played another RB6 game) with great graphics, sound effects and even HD textures. This is just the shell of the game offering far more than that.
    Gameplay: It is a attackers-/defenders game with a few scenarios: hostage, bio hazard seizure, bomb disarming. Both sides undergo a prep phase (t = 30 s), during which attackers try to find the objective and locate enemies with motorized ground drones and defenders need to find a defending strategy using different gadgets. No round will be the same, since your tactics will vary because of ever changing objective spots and different operators (see below). Another variable is the destructible environment around you. Walls or floors can be blown up, smashed or shot through. Effects for destruction are top notch!
    Operators: Represented are five nations' special forces (France, USA, GB, Russia, Germany). Herein are 4 unlockable operators each. 2 defenders, 2 attackers, 20 in total. They feature different skills and specifics, which brings much variety to the game. Every operator has any operator specific weapon available from the start on! YOU can choose which reticle or other attachment you want to unlock against progression points.
    Progression: You can earn easy points via singleplayer and watching introductional videos. The harder earned but higher rewarded points you will collect via multiplayer. And here is the only downside I see so far: You also can buy XP boosters against real money. This is not directly corrupting, but it has a certain taste to it.
    The ugly: You don't have a server browser. It is matchmaking. Most of the time it works properly, but I prefer a browser where you can change your preferences. Now you are bound to the "casual" game style until operator level 20, after which you will be able to play "ranked" to earn more XP. The thing is, that even after level 20 you are able to play "casual", which leads to people on lvl 80+ to bash noobs in "casual".
    Another issue is the ping fidelity. Synchronization does not seem to work properly all the time, which leads to many deaths resulting from latency. This is annoying, since you have to wait for the round to end after you die.
    Bottom line: I enjoy the game a lot. I've been playing for around 10 hours and I already got 14/20 operators with the inventory of my choosing. This seems to be one of the best features, which games like Battlefield or CoD don't seem to want to implement.
    I'd rather skip the part of giving points, but metacritic works like that, so I'm guessing 5/7 (let's see, who gets it).    … Expand

    The game play was the central focus and plays out very well. All mechanics are fluid and intuitive, as well as the games various modes fit well into the team strategy they were aiming for. With a team full of players contributing and devising strategies this game offers something nothing else can. An immersive very tactical feeling shooter. The only cons I have were the servers had some issues (now fixed) and I wish the classes were more unique. I seem to play the same 4-5 continuously.

    If you were waiting for something with a more strategy but as fun as battlefield you better grab this (on sale because in Canada its 80$ which is too much for any game...)    … Expand

    Took me 5 hours to install the game between crashes, failed updates and Uplay.

    When I finally think I'm getting somewhere and the game loads the Multiplayer starts crashing after joining a match. Tried all the tricks in the book and was unsuccessful in fixing the problem. Support is of no help at all.

    Paid 60$ for a **** singleplayer campaign.

I've seen my fair share of trolls who will instantly kill you when the round stars, and blast music through their mic just to annoy you.

    The game can crash or give you an error message in any stage, for example:

    You are trying to create a lobby with three friends... CRASH

    You restart the game (I forgot to tell: You can't skip the intro, so I had days where i watched it 20 times while restarting the game) and invite your friends again into the lobby... ERROR

    5 minutes later finally all your friends have joined the lobby again. You start searching for a game... CRASH

    After restarting you give it another try. Finally, after 10 minutes of searching for a match you get one. But hey, have really all of your friends joined the match? Of course not, because one got an ERROR message.

    15 minutes later, you can finally join a game with all your friends. Everything looks good, you can play the first rounds. Maybe your team is about to win. And then it comes, the loading screen of the last round ... CRASH

    ...

    This description is no product of my fantasy! It goes like that every single time, on every frickin' day.

    I have had days, where I spend twice as much time in the loading screen or in the lobby menu, as I had real playtime. At the actual stage it is completely broken. Don't buy it, unless they release some really big patches! But at the moment this game is just another example, how greedy the publishers (in this case Ubisoft) are. They just had $-signs in their eyes, so they had to release the game before christmas. With maybe only one or two months more time for the developers, this game could have been so great.

    Summary: The gameplay itself is pretty good.

    BUT: The amount of content is very weak for a full price title and matchmaking + stability can only be described as an catastrophe! In my opinion it is just dishonorable for a big publisher like Ubisoft to release a game in such a horrible condition!    … Expand
