    I wasn't even planning to play this game. Then I gave the open beta a shot and I was hooked. Such an interesting multiplayer - constant mind games, constantly tricking the opponent. This isn't a call of duty zerg rush to win game, this is a tactical shooter that encourages teamwork. Really amazing graphics and sound.

    This is an amazing game with elements where CSS was not able to achieve. Current CSGO is very poor vs dynamics and tactics from R6: Siege. I highly recommend R6: Siege. Every new DLC with operators brings new tactics and new style of the game in general

    One of the best FPs on the market, the only skilled shooter left that is deeply enjoyable after DICE turned the Battlefield Franchise into a "pew pew", kids skill level, COD wannabie. R6 Siege is so Enjoyable and worth every penny.. Grab the Season pass if you like looking good on the battlefield !

Just small things i would liked tweaked that come off as an inconvenience more than anything else. stuff like being able to change my class up without having to back out of the match searching.

    This game is the realistic tactical shooter i've been waiting for. No map, all based on listening (awesome). A bullet in the head means you're dead no matter what gun ("boom headshot"). Game borrows a lot from what is great about Counter Strike (amazing compliment for a new shooter). Just run and gone, you're dead. Every step needs to be thought out and planned with your team. I am not a fan of games that don't come with story modes, but the multiplayer is just that damn good you don't need it. The way it is set up for awesome infiltration and defensive maneuvers that create these awesome action pact one of kind experiences with your friends. You really find yourself saying "damn that was so sweet" *hits share button on ps4*. Every class has a meaningful perk. Every perk has a counter perk. So many maps that have usually 3 different points of where the action happens so depending on where the bomb or the hostage is each map has 3 different experiences alone. Then on top of that, depending on how people play the game changes again. It's crazy how different it is every time. In other games a map loads and you know exactly what you are going to do. Run left look down that hallway, shoot because people usually run there. Then go to the next spot where the spawn point is..... none of that here. Each time a map loads you have no idea what you'll do until you collect intel and talk with your team to figure out the best way to attack based on the Rainbow Six members you'd decided to spawn as. I just can't say enough about this game. The only multiplayer i've enjoyed over the years is The Last of Us and many games that have come out have just let me down. Metal Gear. Battlefront. Destiny. But Rainbow Six has finally brought a Counter Strike type of game to console.

    Responses to 0 ratings:

    "no single player" - not worth giving the game a 0. multiplayer creates awesome scenarios that are difficult and more realistic that no AI could give you in a story. i always support games giving you a story for the sweet movie scenes and the opportunities for cool events of gameplay. but for the first time ever, i am ok with no story.

    "game plays like a mix of call of duty and battlefield": not true. call of duty is fast paced and people are jet packing everywhere and you get shot from behind every two seconds. Battlefield takes you 30 minutes to get into a spot to shoot your gun or find out where the hell the battle is going on. Rainbow Six is on a different level.

    "The AI is stupid"- that's true, the random side modes you do, the AI is pretty dumb as nails. Depending on the difficulty. I don't know what difficulty that person was playing on.

    "game is a bore fest generic shooter"- just plain wrong. no further comments

    "absolutely no incentive to work as a team" - this person needs 4 friends. i played all the old rainbow six games and this one demands way more teamwork in multiplayer than the last ones

    "the levels are boring." - ARE YOU FN' KIDDING ME

    "destructibility is nothing new" - 0 rating for nothing new. *claps s l o w l y*

    "rifle and pistol sounds very unrealistic" - i don't own the guns in the game so i can't comment on this

    "bad hit detection" - haven't had a problem with this. kill cams show weird things sometimes

    "stupid balanced shotgun" - one of the shotguns is mad strong but it seems like they reduced the range since the beta. i used a pump action at short range and had to hit them twice, other times at mid range it is once. really depends where the bullets end up.

    "can't create classes between operators" - i like how the guns are broken out between the classes. it gives it a thought out balance based on that operators perk. but i can see why someone would get frustrated with this.

    "no 3rd person duck and cover" - so happy they got rid of that. it is not realistic which is what this game is going for. if i put my back to a hallway wall i wouldn't be able to see down the whole damn hallway without the other person seeing me. if this game had that no one would be able to infiltrate anywhere. Yes, it was fun in the old games, no, would not work here at all and thank goodness it is not in this game.

    Hope this was helpful for those who are on the fence.    … Expand

    Rainbow Six Siege for the PC is the best First Person Shooter, I've ever played, period!

    This is a 5 vs 5 game which involves 2 sides Attackers v Defenders. Rock, Paper, Guns, Bombs and Special Abilities Operator's have a various weapons + a Special Ability. Gameplay last 4 minutes. The Attackers storm the building or plane by whatever means they can. Maybe abseiling in    Rainbow Six Siege for the PC is the best First Person Shooter, I've ever played, period!

    This is a 5 vs 5 game which involves 2 sides Attackers v Defenders.

    Rock, Paper, Guns, Bombs and Special Abilities

    Operator's have a various weapons + a Special Ability.

    Gameplay last 4 minutes. The Attackers storm the building or plane by whatever means they can. Maybe abseiling in through windows or roof tops and breaking in doors or blowing holes in walls.

    Defenders it is a tense time waiting. Sometimes you all might just be in one fortified room undiscovered by the remote drones of the Counter-Terrorist Law Enforcement but with the knowledge it is inevitable that you will be found.

    The tension and suspense are heightened knowing that this is a no respawn game, it's do or die.

    The game is played with the first team to win 3 rounds are the victors. If you start on Attack the first round the next round you will be defence and so on. But if the game reaches 2-2 then a Overtime round is played but this time a coin is flipped to see which team defends and which team attack. By this time both teams get to know each other a bit, tactics, if there is teamwork going on, what kind of Operators the enemy is likely to use plus how good players may be.

    It's a game of cat and mouse, tactical, skilful and cunning, with a touch of tiny bit luck thrown in. 4 mins can seem like a long time in this game. Then action might erupt and it could be all over in a minute or it could be a series of engagements. It could be a big engagement at the beginning followed by a lull in the middle of the game and a stealthy tense ending. The game could be sniping at each other in CQB (Close Quarter Combat) for the entire game. I also noted players bating each other into traps and ambushes. Players using little tricks they have learned to get an advantage or the drop on the enemy, first shot can be crucial and can be the advantage to getting the kill. If someone sees you and you don't see them, your dead 90% of the time.

    Gunfights

    This game has the best gunfights in any shooting game I've played period! This is the first real game where cover feels like a real life situation. You could be hanging upside down like spiderman abseiling down a building shooting in a window from the top when people expect you to shoot from the bottom. Drop down shoot or throw grenade or flash bang or break a barricade or plant a charge or a special weapon.

    Bullets whizzing past ping off surfaces, you may even get hit by a bullet or two, if you get hit in the head it's game over for you. The gun play seems so real, once you get someone in your sight they can easy be dead. But the game has body armour, it varies from Operator to Operator or if you get given extra body armour by a team mate. Body armour can enable you to take a bullet or two maybe 3 or 4 even I'd say about 5 at max and you're dead. The game feels so life like that I could take three people out rushing me with a single clip of an automatic weapon. The gunfights are so intense it's like the wild west in game. I can't even begin to put it into words just how exhilarating this game can be. The gameplay is perfect, 10 out of 10 for that. Well balanced, great mechanics built around a fantastic concept. It don't get better than this. I think the programming team have reached their pinnacle.

    Certain games come round not very often maybe once a decade that set the bar and are groundbreaking. This game is not so much groundbreaking, it is a number of the best ideas from games it the past put together in a perfect package that sets the bar in gameplay.

    Gameplay, gameplay, gameplay, tactics and fun, that's what this game is about.

    The environments are mainly destructible and feel very real, for a game it's really quite amazing.

    The game has built in voice comms and people do communicate with each other more than any other game I've played, when you play with random's. I should imagine playing with friends takes this game up another level and this will be a brilliant e-sports game.

    Atmosphere & Maps

    The game's map are great and varied. You get 11 map from Airplane's to Hell's Angels motorcycle clubs like something out of “The Sons of Anarchy”. When in the Hells Angels club you have rock music blaring out the duke box. Most of the time though there is a eerie silence that is only broken by footsteps, voices or gunfire or explosions. It's all very tense and believable. The 11 maps have different places to place booms and hostages and can change from game to game, room to room, making the game have variety and the maps have more than one play style. With no two games feeling the same.

    From the controls to gun play to game design to atmosphere, this game hits all the right notes.

    Score

    Atmosphere: 9

    Sound 8.5

    Graphics 8.5

    Gameplay 10

    Overall 9.8 out 10

    This is a Classic game that will last for many years to come and I'd say the best first person shooter I've ever play.    … Expand

    For me, the game does all the right things. It might not be the return of Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, and it might have more than a few bugs to iron out before it's competition ready, but it's exactly what I expected -- competitive SWAT 4 -- and Ubisoft keep saying the right things about their post-release plans. Only time will tell though.
