    I like the game I mean it's well designed and has thought put into it but sadly the ping ruins the entire game you have to be in Montreal to have a good time with this game and i fear that it won't get any better any time soon

    TOXIC - Huge problem with this game is the toxic community that thinks no one should play it but them. The system of the vote to kick and team kill ruins the experience for everyone. Shame that people aren't allowed to play a game they spend $60 because the team you don't even know either vote you out or kills you.

    Used to love this game, was very good for like 3 years, now its very cheap and has lots of hackers, everything is changed in a stupid way, change is good but in the past one and half year the game is no longer serving the same tactical aspect as it used to be, it just one big mess like the entirety of Ubisoft

    This game is in such a weird spot for me for several reasons. On one hand, it has/had the best online combat that required the most tactical thought of any game I've played. On the other hand, if you play the game on anything other than ranked/unranked (level 30 and 10 minimum), the game essentially becomes a team back stabbing simulator to see who or how your team will kill you.

On the other hand, if you play the game on anything other than ranked/unranked (level 30 and 10 minimum), the game essentially becomes a team back stabbing simulator to see who or how your team will kill you. You spend 2/3 matches getting shot in the back by your teammates or blown up before you can move because there is virtually no serious repercussions for betraying your team and throwing a match. The reason I get so bitter about it is because I dump $30 into the game and then I'm immediately reminded (repeatedly) why I stop playing every two years. I've played this game over the course of five years and they have barely done anything about team kills. Used to be you had to kill two team mates before they'd kick you and make you wait just 15 minutes (which is oddly generous.) Now, you kill someone and it activates reflective damage if that person marks it as intentional. That would almost solve it except their team mates are typically exempt so if they still want you dead, they can kill you until the squad has reflective damage. The magic is, there's no repercussions for repeat offenders either. In one day of playing, you could wait for the various cooldowns and get away with 20-30 team mate kills if you were bored. It's absolutely **** that the penalties for leaving a game early is worse than shooting your own team.

    I originally bought this in Feb 2016 when the gold edition was down to $30 because they thought it was a failure (which serves them right for the deception they pulled at E3 2015.) What's ironic is that now I think the game is in a worse position than it was at that time. Aside from the constant shots to the back, children playing like it's COD, and your own team mates actively working against you, there's also the monetization that's become a problem. You pay $20-40 for a game that then makes you spend 2-3 weeks unlocking even just the basic content which is the operators. Then, if you want skins for your guns or uniforms, you either have to pay hard cash, gamble (with strong odds for duplicates), or wait several weeks/months to get it. Obviously the goal is that you pay to run into a pay wall that is either overcome by playing the game even more for a really long time, or paying even more. Proof is that the "epic" uniforms cost an equivalent of about $8-10 and the legendary are about $15 for what amounts to 2-3 items if that. This game would be as bad as Fortnite and Epic, except that at least those are free and you don't have people shooting you in the back randomly because they think it's hilarious.

    The good news is, I have several throwaway PSN accounts and I'm totally going to be blowing myself and as many teams as I can up so maybe they'll finally do something about it. **** you Ubisoft. I won't be buying anything from you people anymore and you're going to have a lot more pissed off players very soon. If for some reason I do end up with any more of your trash, I'll be sure to make the other online experiences just as unpleasant for everyone as I can manage. I have literally all day and night every day. It won't take long before literally hundreds of players are done with your half baked ****

    Seriously? The game is kind of fun, but all this monetization takes all the fun out of it. There is no way to play by yourself, and if you like me enjoy LONE WOLF. Well guess what, you need a PS+ for that! More and more i see this corrupted and disgusting approach from more and more publishers! And Ubisoft are way up there

    This game is full of bugs, glitches, cheaters, ddosers, very bad servers and hitboxes.

    Pretty good game ruined by the toxic community and the devs. The game has so many issues all the time, and issues that comes back with updates. The devs clearly only caters to the pro, which doesn't make for a good experience for the average player. So this was a yes for me, but nowadays, it's a huge fat no.
    The closer you live to the server, the better your K.D is gonna be. and that's a fact!

    1. Awful hitreg
    2. Cheaters
    3. Smurfs
    4. Assasin Creed Engine for FPS

    7. Pay to win (144hz > 60hz, 9 ping > 50 ping)
    8. 20$ for game, 40$ for operators, 20$ for season pass.

    I regret a lot buying this game, stay away from it.
    Pay to win, lots of micro transactions and you basically have to pay to unlock anything (or grind for hours and hours for a single character or item), this game should be free to play by the level of micro transactions it contains.

    The most fun, strategic, and addictive game you won't be able to play. Server issues causing a horrible closed beta, was to be expected. Terrible open beta for the same issues, well obviously they must be ironing it out for launch. With Launch came the same issues, and now with the holiday peak servers not functional.

    Don't get me wrong it is a good game. But with no single player campaign the game basically requires multiplayer. Having constant server issues making it impossible to play bet the games shelf life to be short.

    Just check the lack of updates from Ubisoft, their forums exploding with complaints, and Twitter reaction.

    Holy crap I hate this game. Not only is it a massive disappointment, it's not even really a Tom Clancy game, let alone a Rainbow Six game. If a hyped game is just disappointing, I'd say that.

Not only is it a massive disappointment, it's not even really a Tom Clancy game, let alone a Rainbow Six game. If a hyped game is just disappointing, I'd say that. But this goes beyond disappointing. It even goes beyond bad. This might just be up there with some of the worst games I've ever played, and the fact I'm giving it a 3 says something about how many bad games I've played. So let's talk about what makes this game so bad. First, it has a serious lack of content, removing campaign and local multiplayer. Anyone who has ever played a Rainbow Six game will know that these are staples of the series, so they're pretty much essentials. A lot of multiplayer games these days suffer from these additions being removed when they could greatly benefit it. Rainbow Six seems to be the most upsetting one for the removal. Instead of singleplayer campaign, you get operations. Operations are essentially tutorial missions to help you get a feel for gamemodes and certain situations. Let's make this clear: they're awful. They aren't fun, they don't teach you anything. Apparently, their purpose is supposed to be for early XP gain. However, after completing half of them, I barely made it to level 1. It's pretty useless doing them, so I wouldn't bother. Next up we have multiplayer, the heart of the game. Is it fun? Well, no. When you break it down, it's really not. For starters, matchmaking is terrible. It was broken from launch, and that hasn't changed to this day. Even if the matchmaking worked, the multiplayer couldn't save this game. Don't get me wrong, the concept is cool and the game plays well, but it suffers from a multitude of issues. One main one being that the game tries so hard to stress that strategy is key. Well, it's hard to strategizing is pretty damn difficult if your team won't listen to you. I can't blame the developers for this, but I can blame them for why they don't listen. Nobody wants to strategize. Honestly, I'm not feeling the urge to do so either. A lot of the tools given to you seem like they should be used to plane out some trap or attack, but I'd never use them in any certain situation, so they feel like they have no use. It's not just the feeling of no strategy, though. This game is also loaded with bugs. Still. Still! It's been 8 months, why haven't they fixed the bugs!!!!!!! Anyway, I'll wrap up this review so I don't get too angry. To sum it all up, don't invest in Rainbow Six. It's complete garbage. 3/10. Expand

I loved having the option to put a silencer on in the middle of the game and taking it off, added something called realism. They obviously tried making a very different game than whats on the market today but its sad to say the game is just not good for. Its good to play for a few matches and then you realize its the same thing again again. Maybe they'll release a DLC to customize the operators they are forcing me to use. Expand
