    This is by far the most realistic and intense tactical first person shooter on the market. It's has 11 maps at release, each one unique unto itself. Twenty different special operators each bringing there own skill set for great variety. This is easily THE FPS to play, better than the competition. It looks great, sounds great and handles great.

Twenty different special operators each bringing there own skill set for great variety. This is easily THE FPS to play, better than the competition. It looks great, sounds great and handles great. It's a pull no punches approach to a genre that has left its roots in realism for something to science fiction as of late. The matches are tight and intense and at any moment can shift from winning to losing if you are careful. The maps are fully interactive with security cameras to get the drop on your opponents to breachable walls to create your own path. Plenty of room for a large variety of strategies on both sides, so whether your attack or defense you and your team can create a style all your own. So if you like a seriously intense game play rooted in reality answer the call and join Rainbow6!!… Expand

    Its a crime that this game doesn't get better reviews. It would by far be the best multiplayer around if battlefield wasn't around. I have played most multiplayer shooters that have come out the last 6-7 year and this is one of the best.

R6S with season 1 is the game that should have been released last December. I've been waiting a while for a decent shooter that's more methodical than what's in the market, R6S feels like it's testing how smart you are. The title comes as a complete surprise for me, certainly one of the best games 've played this year. I hope Ubisoft gets into the practice of including year 1 DLC with the core game for 60 dollars, it definitely helps.    … Expand

    The best multiplayer FPS since COD4, addictive, fun, tactical, frustrating and intense I highly recommend you pick up this game! Camping is acceptable tactic in this game and running and gunning as not a great plan, however if you work/talk with your team success is never far away!

Full of tense moments, high stakes gameplay, unique "operator" skills, and meticulously crafted destructible maps - the game offers a multiplayer team experience like no other - however, team gameplay is also where the game's weakness is most noticeable.

    To play and fully enjoy the Rainbow Six Siege experience, playing in a squad with at least one other friend is quite essential. However, an open mind, willingness to cooperate, and communication with one's teammates will help overcome these barriers. Furthermore, given the lethality of weapons found in the game, individual player skill and experience can be reasonably leveraged to compensate in solo-play, leading to impressive multi-kills and aces.

    Furthermore, a large majority of the server issues that plagued the beta have been resolved with the release of the full game (which relies on dedicated servers for multiplayer PvP). Last but not least, the Ubisoft team responsible for the game has been incredibly proactive and transparent in their attempts to help debug issues - providing constant updates on their twitter feeds/within reddit. In my opinion, the game has managed a very admirable day one launch considering the recent record of launches for popular triple A titles.

    All in all, the impressive quality of gameplay, graphics, and MOBA-style team drafting/cooperation makes up for the games flaw's by far - creating an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting for much much more.    … Expand

Terrorist hunt is also very fun, by yourself or with friends you battle AI terrorist to complete the objective. Situation mode is more of a tutorial mode. Despite me loving this games there are also a lot of negatives I encountered. First strike is there is no single player campaign. Second strike server and connectivity issues, this was a big problem for the beta version, though this has been mostly resolved with the December update it is still a bit buggy. Third strike microtransactions, Micro transactions are common these days but in rainbow six its not worth it. But ubisoft must be commended for free maps and operators. Overall this is good game to play, worth every dollar u pay for it, smooth, easy to play and a awesome game to play with friends. my final rating is 8/10 after the December update.… Expand

    Only missing 2 points because of lack of content, other than that, what is there, is absolutely polished solid gameplay and a perfect foundation for a competitive scene. As an online shooter, it is entirely balanced enough to be competitive and because of that i give it an 8.

    It is not like Call of Duty. It is not like Battlefield, and it is most definitely not like Star Wars Battlefront! So if you enjoy being killed 25 times a session and respawning unrealistically back into the midst of battle, the this is not the game for you.
    This game is ultra tense, and at times absolutely brutal. Didn't cover that flank? Dead. Forgot to reinforce the trap door above you? Dead. You reacted milliseconds slower than the dude creeping around the corner? Dead!! And you will not respawn until the next new round.
    Not that this is a problem at all, because each round is a mere 5 minutes. A perfectly sufficient 5 minutes with which to successfully defend or attack the target. Attackers have 30 seconds to send in the drones to scan the area and identify the target or targets. This enables fast decision making regarding entry points, and attack coordination between you and your team mates.
    Defenders have the same 30 seconds to lockdown the objective or objectives in the case of 'bomb' (there are two bombs in adjacent rooms). Locking down consists of reinforcing weak walls which can be breached, setting laser trip wires on doors and window frames, deploying signal jammers to kill drones and prevent them from exposing the objective. This and much more can be done in preparation for the assault.
    Going back to the attackers, they can smash through doors, walls and windows, rappel upsides down and snipe through windows, take out the CCTV cameras to prevent the defenders from identifying their breach location.
    All this might sound manic, and at times it can be. But for the most part this game is about tension. Because it's a 5 vs 5 TDM, and once you die you stay dead, you really do not want to die!! If you do, it can have serious implications for the success of your team. And teamwork is where this game stands out!
    You do t have to use a headset, but it really does help. Even when playing with random team mates it still helps to have your headset on. If in the case of getting shot in the face (instant death), you can the cycle through the drone or CCTV cameras and inform your team mates of the whereabouts of opposite team members. You can also tag opponents using the cameras and holding down the triangle button. This red tag stays at the last known location of an opponent for several seconds. This is especially satisfying if they are behind a weak plasterboard wall and you happen to have a dirty big shotgun! Wuaahaahaa!!!!!

    So I would very highly recommend you try this game, especially if you prefer brutal realism over the classic, generic, die-spawn-die-spawn-run around a bit-get stabbed in the neck by someone who spawned right behind you-die-spawn-die-spawn type of shooter. Rainbow Six Seige feels like a welcome alternative to all of that.
    So get your buddies together, form a 5 man hit squad and yourselves into the action. You won't regret it!    … Expand

    Lets give a short answer: I f*cking love this game, despite some of the flaws. Now for that longer answer.

    Lets give a short answer: I f*cking love this game, despite some of the flaws.

    Now for that longer answer. I started the game in f*cking Christmas in 2015 as a Call of Duty sweat, expecting this game to be a pick up and instantly master. Nope. I was beaten to a pulp, thrown into the street, hit by a semi, cleaned off, and set onto the tracks of an oncoming train. This game immediately was a put away to never see the light of day. Or so I thought. After Skull rain, as soon as I saw the new operators, maps and how much dedication the developers put into the game while it was seemingly, dwindling away, I gave it one last go. All it took was one clutch. Just one. And I realized, this was what i was missing.

    Now that I got my little ramble of my personal feelings for the game out of the way. Lets be helpful to the newcomers and give insight on the difficulty of this game. It is PUNISHING. Unless you have godlike aim, reflexes and a good group of dudes helping you learn, you will end up annoyed and angry with how often you will die. Whether it would be from a cheeky wallbang, your **** random teammates, or from an angle that looks like total BS to die from, you will rage and get pissed a lot. But that is the beauty of it. That difficulty is what makes this game fun especially when you hit that moment, where you finally understand how to truly play.

    Lets give a quick pro's and con's list.

    Pros: 53 unique, playable operators (including recruit)
    All operators have their place in the game. Even the originals.
    Roughly 20 playable maps (some excluded for the newcomer's sakes)
    A semi decent community (comparing to league and COD)
    Smooth gunplay
    Destructable environments for increased strategy.
    Occasional updates (aside from major seasons)
    Unique cosmetics that (mostly) dont give a competitve edge, and look pretty damn nice.
    A fantastic pro gaming scene
    Crazy fun events and SO MUCH MORE

    Cons: Usually bad hit registration
    Kinda crappy microtransactions (limited edition alpha packs)
    A large grind to even get most of the operators.
    Laggy servers and the occasional server stressing.

    With all of this, I'd highly recommend this game to all FPS genre fans out there. It's a total blast and easily my current favorite multiplayer game. And for all those on ps4 who are new and looking to get some practice, add me at GoodOlMasky. I'm down to teach some new players how to play this game.    … Expand

    The black tar heroin of gaming. Newcomer mode is full of smurfs and many trolls/morons seem to play this game. But its a very good game with many different ways to play the game with different operators and tactics of course etcetera. Sometimes U need to mute other players because they suck. Sometimes U play with awesome people.

    Ubisoft has done exactly what they set out to do with Rainbow Six: Siege, and that is to deliver a legitimate competitive squad based shooter in which tactics and teamwork trumps the COD mentality of running n' gunning. I refuse to review this game on the basis that "it should have had a singleplayer campaign" like some people seem to be doing, but instead I will review it on exactly whatUbisoft has done exactly what they set out to do with Rainbow Six: Siege, and that is to deliver a legitimate competitive squad based shooter in which tactics and teamwork trumps the COD mentality of running n' gunning. I refuse to review this game on the basis that "it should have had a singleplayer campaign" like some people seem to be doing, but instead I will review it on exactly what it is: a multiplayer online FPS. Overall, I give Rainbow Six: Siege a 9/10, and here's why:

    Pros:
    1) Each round is unpredictable and practically never the same - this game is one of the least repetitive shooters I've ever played, because every single round usually feels very different, with the only exception being when one team is superior in every single way to the other. Most of the time, however, I find that the rounds are fairly close at worst and insanely close at the best. You never know what an attacking teams breach method will be, and you never know what a defending teams defensive set up will be like unless you can sneak one of the drones in at the beginning of each round as an attacker.

    2) Operators - Some people were weary of deciding to go with Operators for this game instead of letting people simply customize their own character, but I think Ubisoft made the right choice here (by the way, you can still customize a character as "recruit", but they miss out on special abilities). Operators give the game very unique characters, both on the attack and defense sides, that each have their own special gadgets and purposes within their squad. Teams actually have to think about the chemistry of their sides operators when picking one at the beginning of each round, which only adds to the tactical thinking aspect of this game.

    3) Teamwork is a necessity - This games whole hype train running behind it was about being a team based squad shooter, and it has succeeded mightily in that regard. You cannot succeed in this game by playing a run n' gun COD style, but instead you must think about every single move you make very carefully and communicate with your squad at the same time about who will do what, where this gadget will go etc. This is a huge part of why every round feels so fresh, because you and your team constantly need to communicate and adjust to all the different situations you will encounter in the game, both on attack and defense.

    4) DLC/Unlocks - Knowing that I'd most likely want to play this game in the long term, I was nervous about what Ubisofts DLC approach would be to this game. Another fun teamwork based shooter, Evolve, was ruined by the developers poor decision of making in game DLC characters only purchasable through real money and not giving an in game currency option to purchase hunters/monsters. The DLC monsters ended up being 15 BUCKS EACH! An absolutely insane amount on top of a $60 dollar game. Rainbow Six: Siege has an in-game currency called "Renown" that you earn in each play, and you can use this currency to purchase your operators and also add attachments to their guns to make them better. Thankfully, renown is not hard to earn and unlocking the games base operators has been incredibly easy from the get go. The DLC plan announced by Ubisoft, thankfully, is that all DLC operators will have the option of being purchased for $5 dollars each, or reportedly with 25k in renown currency, giving players the option to get all DLC for free by simply playing the game they own anyways. All new Maps and Modes will be given to the community for free, which is another great choice by Ubisoft. Like other successful F2P games, the only things that can be purchased with money only are solely for cosmetic purposes, in the form of weapon skins. The DLC plan was a make or break for me as far as this game went, because I'm not the type who likes to shell out more than 60 bucks for just about any game unless it's a MASSIVE expansion pack worthy of extra money. Once I heard about Ubisofts DLC plan, I decided to keep my pre-order, excited that they were making the right decision with this game.

    5) Maps - The maps are mainly awesome, with only a couple of duds in my opinion. The duds to me are the ones that involve multiple buildings to search upon spawn as an attacker, with your camera drones that you get about 40 seconds with to roam about trying to find the enemy teams objective location and figure out their defensive set up. Some of these maps with numerous buildings are too complex and large for the attackers drones, often resulting in the attackers not finding the defenders location, which is fine every once in awhile but annoying when it happens often.

    Cons:

    1) Minor bugs/glitches - I haven't ran into many, but there is some such as getting stuck on things randomly.

    2) Occasional long loading times or trouble finding a match, which can be fixed by backing out and re-searching usually (AKA not a big deal).

    Overall, this game has been relatively flawless considering what it set out to do!    … Expand

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

    On paper Rainbow Six: Siege sounds like crap. It has about 3 modes for multiplayer which are all variations on get in and kill/extract/disable something or someone with no story mode and about 8 maps from what I could tell.
    The twist is that this game is actually good.

It has about 3 modes for multiplayer which are all variations on get in and kill/extract/disable something or someone with no story mode and about 8 maps from what I could tell.
    The twist is that this game is actually good.

    Let's start with the bad before the good:
    -No story:

    I'm a fan of Rainbow 6: Vegas 1 and 2, I never played the multiplayer for it because I didn't have internet back then.The story is what kept me playing over and over again and it is very disappointed to see it has been removed, it is more of an issue that other games though because the early material of the game showed an interesting narrative which saw you playing as an operative and a civilian. I don't like this trend.

    -Lack of modes:
    As I pointed out there are a very limited amount of gameplay modes. All multiplayer modes double up as a TDM so often the match is ended by one team being wiped out rather than doing the objective. That in mind though, I don't see any more modes they could add. The only time a militarised force would be called in to siege a building is used in the game.

    -Poor graphics and character movements:
    There's no excuse for this, the game looks ugly for 2015 standards and the characters move in ridiculous ways that allows people to exploit it from time to time. A good example is hostage extraction, the way you interact with the hostage looks absolutely dumb.

    -Matchmaking:
    Ubisoft has a problem with their servers all the time. I'm never disconnected from the game but when I try and search with a squad of 5, we will be sent back to the menu screen or even split up. When you search for games alone, it takes an obscene amount of time to find people.

    Now onto the good:
    +Entry methods:
    This game lives up to its namesake by giving you a wide plethora of siege tools such as the traditional breaching charge, thermal charges, grenade launchers all the way down to a sledge hammer. You can break down windows, walls, door and floors to get to your objective but restrictions have been placed to keep it fair. This game has a great balance to it which you don't get in FPSs today.

    +Terrorist Hunt:
    This mode is what I play 80% of the time, I always play it on realistic and despite the fact that I lose 99% of the time I just can't stop playing it, it has this Dark Souls feel to it where if you throw yourself at it enough times you'll eventually crack it.

    +Operators:
    The operators have been carefully designed to ensure maximum balance so there is no such thing as the best operator, just your best operator. I personally play as Sledge on multiplayer and Fuze or Thatcher on terrorist hunt. Some characters that seem useless to you are the key to success for others. I don't use Ash because I don't see a use for her to have a long range breaching charge but other people make it work.

    +Enjoyable:
    This game is a tactical shooter so CoD or Halo players will hate it. I've had several situations where a person who is used to the fast paced action of other shooters tries to shoot me but starts strafing only for me to place 1 shot into their head. This game is realistic on the recoil so if you move while shooting you will miss. Fully automatic weapons are borderline uncontrollable so it's up to you to fire in short, controlled bursts.
    My favourite thing about siege is how tense it gets. When you're defending you get that feeling of anticipation while you wait for someone to come and attack you. When it comes to attacking, you have to formulate a plan because running in and spraying just doesn't work.
    It goes without saying that playing with friends is way better than playing with randoms. This may be an issue for some people but luckily for the PS4 players we have the community system that helps us find people to play with. I made an additional 10 friends who I play with regularly because of this so you have no excuse.

    +Sound design:
    This is the only shooter I have ever played where sound is such an important factor. Ubisoft has done a great job on the sound design in this game, I can identify different operators just from their footsteps; for example, if I hear heavy footsteps coupled with a clinking sound I know that it is someone with a shield.
    If you listen carefully you'll also hear someone put a charge on the door or wall hinting at their position.

    Overall I would say this game is great, not awesome just great. I give it an 8.2/10 just above average but lacking in certain places.    … Expand

People complain that there is no campaign, can't choose custom loadouts, bad graphics, not enough game modes bla, blah blah. The fact of the matter is that this game needs none of that. The GAMEPLAY is what matters in this game. Smart tactical movement, teamwork, and communication are key. Thus game is meant to be played with a squad. Lone wolf run and gun players will not like this game. As for the lack of campaign, who cares? If you want a campaign buy a game that has one. This game is not for you if that is the experience you are looking for. This game is for people who are looking for a tactical online shooter, that requires teamwork, communication and strategy. If that sounds like your style of game, you will love Rainbow Six Siege.

    As for the loadout complaints, they again make no sense when applied to this game. Each operator had a certain set of skills, weapons and abilities. You are playing as part of a team, and hence have a certain role to perform. Each operator had a counter operator available for the other team. This creates balance, promotes teamwork and adds a layer of strategy not found in any other shooter currently available on ps4.

    For people who say the graphics are on a PS3 level, that is absurd. The graphics are not the best on the system, but they are sol very good. It has a gritty realism to it that i personally enjoy.

    As for the lack of game modes, once again I say that is a moot point when applied to this game. A plethora of game modes is good when trying to appeal to the widest possible audience. Battlefield, COD, Battlefront, etc all have plenty of game modes to choose from. Despite that, most people have 1 or 2 modes that they play on a regular basis, and ignore all the others. This game as I said before is aimed at an audience looking for a certain type of game.

    Final verdict:
    If you are looking for a game with a 30 hour campaign, game modes galore, highly customizable loadouts, large open sniper friendly maps, run and gun gameplay, vehicular combat, or bullet sponge enemies that take a full clip to kill, then you are in luck. The market is filled with these games, go choose one and play until your heart's content. This game is not for you, and that's ok, but that doesn't make it a bad game. On the other hand, if you are looking for a tactical online shooter, this game is for you. In my opinion, this is the only game on the PS4 that offers this type of gameplay. Just make sure to play in a squad, use strategy and communicate, which is how the game is meant to be played.    … Expand

    No, but what it does is excel at giving a great experience. Situations are a blast, Terrorist Hunt can be incredible, and Multiplayer is unique.
    If you are a fan of tactical shooters, give RB6 a look. Even if it feels lacking initially, you will come to find the promise of free maps, and the intensity of a shootout, leaves a lot of time to burn in the game.

    While the minute to minute gameplay is fantastic and nailbitingly tense, I question the longevity this, and other online-only games have.

    At the moment I am truly loving the dynamic this game has set up. It requires teamwork, communication, patience, and most importantly dead-eye accuracy. There's no run and gun COD tactics allowed here. That's a fresh ticket to the morgue (spectator cam) in R6: Siege.

    A few things keep me from giving this game the 10 it could have easily gotten. There is no way to vote on maps or which type of game to play, at least in casual games so you're stuck with the same map or game type multiple times in a row on occasion. Something else that irks me is the lack of customization per operator. Some operators are limited to one primary weapon. Very limiting.

    Also deducting a point for the ridiculous price on the season pass. $30 for unannounced content is insulting. Ubisoft b@tch slapping their customers yet again.

    Taking the content already there into consideration I'd give the game a solid 8/10. If you have at least one other person on your team who takes the game seriously and has a mic it improves the experience ten-fold.    … Expand

    I love the more tactical shooter games where communication is key. Loved R6 Vegas and the Last of Us for the same reasons. THIS game adds new tactical dimensions not seen before and it has been a blast. I will say that in the early going I've had some problems trying to team-up with friends (constant error messages, causing me to restart my router) but I'm confident this will get fixed.I love the more tactical shooter games where communication is key.

    Lets start with the negatives: Sure it could have had a campaign. There is a game mode called situations where you can practice. If Ubisoft just called it campaign and put videos between the missions everybody would be happy about it.

    Then to the positives: Game works well even if you don't have mics and communicate with your team members but the fun goes to whole new level when you are playing with your friends. In this game the lone wolf usually dies. You really have to co-ordinate with your team to survive. Learning the different perks of each character is fun and really changes the way you proceed to the mission.

    Which people haven't talked enough is the sound world. Never have explosions from distance sounded so real and it really gives you the nice atmosphere when you and your team mates are in the room protecting the hostage and the distance explosions start to sound and dust falls from the roof.

    Anyway, I could write much more good about the game but I really want to go back to playing and not writing here so adios.    … Expand

    Game should do a better job of encouraging use of a variety of operators, rather than choosing your favourite every round
    Losing too much sleep from staying up playing this game
    Too much water (looking at you IGN)

    Summary of Favourite Moment
    Playing in a five man party, all with headsets. Co-ordinating the attack before moving in. Taking out cameras with suppressed handguns and sneaking our way towards the hostage. Each of us surrounds the room with the hostage inside. We send a camera in which tags a few targets, before being taken out. … It’s quiet… the quiet before the storm. At my command, the team detonate the breach charges and throw concussion grenades into the room. We all breach at once, brothers in arms. We mercilessly and efficiently drop the enemy terrorists whilst they are suffering from exploding headaches. We check the hostage over, she’s fine. Mission completed.

    Summary of worst moment
    Lining up outside a room with a hostage in it. Telling my team to patiently wait as I throw a grenade in through the window. The grenade hits and kills the hostage. Mission failed. Sorry guys.

    Siege is a welcome change of pace to the typical 'run and gun' titles out there (think Battlefield, Call of Duty etc. Siege carves its own place in a genre already full of FPS games and does so convincingly.

    The important question: What does it offer that other games don't?
    My answer: Realism.

    The gameplay offered from Siege is a masterclass of tactical response to various terrorist threats. It throws you into their world and the sheer suspense of some of the rounds I've played are immense.

    I have spent many online days playtime on Call of Duty, so I'm not discrediting the series, but many people I have spoken to compare this game with Search and Destroy game modes from Call of Duty. Whilst I see their logic, I believe it's a faulty one; Search and Destroy doesn’t offer the same amount of pressure that Siege does. You can’t run into a room with Siege and take everyone out with superhuman abilities, then call in your autonomous killstreak drone to earn your nuke – it’s just not that type of game.

    Siege rewards players when they take their time, plan and execute their plan perfectly.

    Whilst playing Siege, I have never died when it wasn’t my fault; whereas with Call of Duty/Battlefield this is often the case.

    I see myself playing Siege many years into the future and looking back with fond memories. The players who critique this game the most are probably those who haven’t played it and want to keep buying the same Call of Duty every year.    … Expand

    Multi is where its all hit and miss.
    MP is core and important, the big problems lie in constant server issues, where games wont even connect or online just stops.
    If in a match that suddenly gets 1 sided, it stough really.
    ppl often drop out, more so on CASUAL, or even team kill, and then thats it, good luck !
    CASUAL does not punish, RANKED does, and sometimes its truly frustrating.
    The patches have been quite good, changing or nerfing weapons and adding gadgets effectiveness is all good.
    it sjust the players that tend ot let the game down, other than server issues, and i think CASUAL play, as quick to connect as it is, is let down by other players, with no penalty. Renown penalty is pretty dire, and the 15 mins RANKED block is good, but if ya get kicked cos some loony runs in front of ya shot, and hey ho, kick him !

    Yet this again brings back how good the game is. No wild firing, need to watch where bullets fly, tactics and movement and watchign all sides, instead of run and gun, that ends horribly.

    Picture yourself one win away from your first Platinum rank. Its gone into triple overtime, 9th round.....your on defence.....you've carried a squad of random scrubs to the finish line. All your last remaining teammate has to do is wait. If he survives the final 10 seconds of the round, the fabled promised land of the sweet sweet platinum charm awaits. You know the last remaining enemy is a shield operator who would inevitably win the 1 v 1 exchange. With not enough time to pick up the bomb defuser and make it back to the objective, the odds are definitely in your favour. All your teammate has to do is sit there. As the 10 seconds left tick towards 0, you sit back and reflect on your journey to get here....to finally go platinum.....the hours....the youtube tactic videos....the wins, the losses....the fuzed hostages. You decide it was all worth it.

    But wait.

    Your teammate starts frantically moving around!! "What the **** is he doing?!?!" you shout to yourself. It dawns on you....the greedy mother****er wants the last kill. He sprints through the map. The clock is literally your only remaining ally.

    *Crack*

    The mother****er takes a shield to the face. You lose, and proceed to scream obscenities at the person whom you've never met before, but shall never forget.

    This is what Siege does to people. Months later, at the summit of my career, I finally got my platinum charm. I never played a ranked season again, and soon deleted the game. I feel like I "returned home" from Siege, in a sense that it gave me PTSD.

It's not like some other games like battlefield or COD where you will immediately and constantly get killed if you don't know what you are doing. As you can remain in (and behind) a small squad and you either have the element of surprise on offence or cover in defence you stand as good a chance staying alive as everyone else - general most squads will die together or stay alive together within a short amount of time due to the nature of the game.

    I bought battlefront on the same day and have spent about 30 minutes in total playing it, siege I have spent over 12 hours.

    A mic for team comms is a must.

    Cons: Micro transaction is cheeky af. The levelling up of players is tiring. You cannot level up the recruit operator so on the occasion all your unlocked operators are taken you are going to be using an un-sighted un-upgraded gun which is not very competitive at all - this was a complete lack of foresight.

I was expecting something more similar to Rainbow Six: Vegas, so to discover that Siege has no quick-cover system was a surprise. Once you adjust to it though, the game feels a lot like Rainbow Six 3. Utilizing walls and objects for temporary cover and the lean system takes some getting used to after countless hours of RSV and RSV2, but once you adjust it becomes almost second nature and is very reminiscent of the series' origins. Terrorist Hunt will always be my favorite mode simply for letting you experiment with different loadouts and tactics, but the 5v5 multiplayer is a blast (assuming you can get a good group with everyone having a microphone). Graphically the game isn't on par with a lot of modern first person shooters but it still looks great, and the sound design is top notch. If this game had split screen co-op for Terrorist Hunt I would give it a 9, and I'm hoping it's something that may be patched in later, but for now the existing game package and promise of free content later down the road earns this game a solid 8 out of 10.… Expand

There are only 3 variances of objectives – bomb, hostage and secure area – which play almost the same, with biggest difference being hostage as you won’t use some engagement methods to not kill the hostage (insta loss).
    Every match feels different as there are multiple ways to play on both sides depending heavily on playstyle and selected operators. Skilled defending team can do really a lot to limit attacking team options, but for basically every special ability, there is a counter option, i.e. Castle hard-closes main windows to the objective, while Mute puts his disruptive device, making it almost impossible to breach – attacking team cannot use breaching charges, nor fuzes – but Ash can breach with her ranged breaching rounds.
    - Destructible environment.
    This game brings what I was hoping would be a standard on this generation when it comes to environment. You can destroy so much on a map, create holes in walls and floor. You never know from where you can expect entry points from the attackers side and its awesome, because it creates high tension and anticipation.
    - Rounds’ dynamic and tension
    This game is not about constant lame shooting. Action is often short but highly intense. Who usually stays calm and has better sense of enemies’ presence, wins. During my time in game I realized that its not my skill which improved much, but rather ability to counter specific enemies’ actions and anticipate them, and especially, staying calm and focused even in a tough situation – this feeling after rare win when you stayed alone versus 2-4 players is extremely rewarding, haven’t felt it for ages.
    - Community
    There are of course rare occasions of 10y old kids screaming to mic and morrons who shoot their own team, but beside that people playing this game are usually nice to cooperate with. Very often without even communicating verbally, I have encountered people who understood perfectly what will be the best option and helped each other. Its not only about kills kills kills.
    - Gunplay.
    Shooting feels tight and satisfying. There could be more options in weapons, but those available ones are really nice to play with.

    What I would like to see improved:
    - servers.
    As mentioned at the beginning, there was time when game was basically unplayable for me, which was frustrating and did not make me wanna come back to the game for a while. Thankfully servers are better now, but people still get quite often disconnected from the game, creating automatic disadvantage for one team and making the whole experience less enjoyable. Also, not sure how it is handled from server side, but whenever I encounter a guy in match with 300+ ping, everybody lags as I could see.
    - More things to buy with renown.
    I am now at 50th level and for like 5 levels I don’t really have anything to buy anymore… Of course I started to save renown for operators who will come in the future, but would be great to have more options of customizing operators. upgrades are nice, but its very limited comparing to progression sense in other games. I would love to see possibility to change outfits of operators, making them feel more unique or some even slight perks to abilities/accessories. I still play this game cuz its damn fun, but having any progression would be just damn lovely.
    - More game modes.
    As mentioned earlier, there is not much of a variety when it comes to objectives and how they play. More often than not, objectives are not being completed, cuz one of the teams is dead by that time. Would feel nice however to have some new modes in the future with maybe new maps that would make them feel different.
    - Social options.
    Username. Its quite annoying, at least on PS4, that my psn username is my profile name – you can see quite weird user names, try to tell to fella who’s name is DASdjfk199 that there is a guy behind wall.
    Clans and tags would be nice.
    Leagues.
    - general amount of content.
    full priced title should have more content, but sadly this is the trend of nowaday games, which makes me buy majority of games on sale as I am not in a rush to play buggy, cut games.

    To sum up
    If you search for slower pace, more team work based shooter with good gameplay and variety in how matches are played, with a big satisfaction of winning, then this is a game for you.
    It was a very good purchase with which I spent more time and had more fun than with games that I expected to have last year (MGS, F4).    … Expand

In my eyes the pros outweigh the cons enough to make the game enjoyable and if you are tired of the stale repetitive nature of other dull boring FPSs this is a breath of fresh air. Gameplay on paper seems simple two teams one defends the other offends (attacks), however going in the meat there's a large variety of ways to go about this which emphasis team work in order to complete an objective, and there is nothing more satisfying than coordinating a team of mic users to corner the enemy team and simultaneously breach the room and either securing or killing them all! Do i think this is a 9/10 no but I feel it deserves at least an 8/10 seeing as how this was made from the ashes of Patriots, but still comes out with a lot more personality from the operators. And now with the price drop it's well worth it as long as you have patience and restraint.… Expand

    So many different ways to tackle online games, it doesnt get boring. At release there are a decent amount of maps. Every map can have slighlty different modes and times of day. Combine that with all the different locations you can be holes up in, different operators with unique skills, and different styles of play from online players leads to every match feeling totally different. Graphics are not bad, sound is good, especially in tense moments when your defenders and you hear breach charges going off.

    This game can be played casualy, but be warned it isnt a push over. Only disappointments is that there isnt much in the way of single player, which is a shame because your paying full price for this game. Also a few bugs in game which cause you to get stuck. Otherwise a great effort and a game worth playing.    … Expand

    The game play here is unlike any other FPS I have played (granted, I have not played Counter Strike). Each round is tense, especially if you're one of the last players to survive. While skill is a component of any FPS game, a team of less skilled players can completely dominate if they have better tactics, strategy, and teamwork.

While skill is a component of any FPS game, a team of less skilled players can completely dominate if they have better tactics, strategy, and teamwork.

    Although this game is not the most amazing looking game in terms of graphics (which is why I did not give it a perfect score), it more than makes up with it in terms of the amount of destruction in the environments. Whether it's breaching walls or doors, or simply popping shots through drywall or wood, the amount of damage you can do to each map is simply amazing. It completely changes the dynamics of each match and makes the game extremely exciting. The sound is outstanding, and listening to audio cues can help you locate your enemy.

    Bottom line, I would recommend this game to anyone who likes FPS games but is looking for something a little different. Even if you only have one life per round, you're never waiting long for the next round to start and there are ways you can assist your teammates even after you've been gunned down. This game is best played using a mic with friends, but even solo this game is a lot of fun.    … Expand

    You're sitting alone, in a dark, quiet room. Bullet holes litter the blood-spattered walls, and your teammates bodies fill the floor. Your barricades are missing pieces, but remain solid. Your nerves are running thin, but somehow you remain resolute. The hostage bobs back and forth behind you.

    An echoed footstep is heard, and a shadow falls over a tiny group of bullet holes. Machine gun fire erupts as chunks of the wall rip away, revealing your foe just long enough to watch him fall to the floor. Round two, coming right up!

    Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical, team-based multiplayer shooter that has some of the best sound effects, map design, and, by leaps and bounds, the best bullet penetration of any next-gen game on any console. The playable classes are varied, mostly balanced, and create an ultimately well-rounded experience. There are enough maps that the situational tactical gameplay doesn't get dull fast, especially if you have an organized team, or are just messing around with friends.

    Highly recommended for those who are experienced with shooters, who can preform precise aiming, as headshots are 1-hit kill, and body shots can kill quite fast.

    The only reason I'm not giving it a ten is because of limited game modes. It has enough maps, and the maps are great. After dozens of hours of play, I'm still learning new things. However, it is always five vs. five multiplayer. While each of the three types (Bombs, Hostage, and Area Control) are slightly different, those differences are felt in maybe one out of ten matches and are minimal at best.
