    Having played this game a lot now, I think it's great. Team work, tactics, strategy and planning are more important than pure aiming skill.

Team work, tactics, strategy and planning are more important than pure aiming skill. It looks good and there's nothing quiet like shooting through a wall with a light machine gun. Additionally, many of the initial bugs with connecting and loading have been fixed at this point, and the player base seems larger, meaning the wait for match times is lower.

    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.

    If you like FPS, you should buy this game - it is cool and unique. If you like FPS and thinking, you should buy this game immediately - it is deep and rewarding.    … Expand

    Rainbow six siege doesn't have a campaign, boo hoo, who cares? This game is fun on a level I have not seen since the likes of Mario kart 64 and goldeneye 64, great fun, and not only that, the very best FPS mechanics going... So fun! Don't get why it doesn't have a higher score? Without the campaign ok let's bring it down, but for what it is? Top - brass !! Fun fun fun!!

    This game is a great game for solo playing and even playing with a team online, this game does not have a single player dedicated campaign however the game is great for online and I that in my opinion that the games has good graphics.

    The game has a lot of operators which need to be unlocked with ingame currency, but it is fairly easy to unlock them and it you earn a fair amount of currency which in a few games you can earn enough in game currency and after a few good hours of play you will be able to unlock all operators.

    The Season Pass is also cheaper than most games and it doesn't affect the people who don't have the season pass. As the season pass only lets you have the new operators for free and you get them earlier for 7 days.So the season pas will not make it worse for the people who don't have the season pass because in most game you have to do a lot to get the currency.

    Thanks for Reading.    … Expand

Yet here we are, 5 years forward and we have a robust game with an awesome community, a competitive scene, lots and lots of content and progression and a lot of gaming events. To me what Ubisoft managed to do here is amazing, first of all they kept their promises to fix every issue with the game. They even created game modes for beginners in order to make it easier for new people to enjoy the game. The graphics for the game are great considering this is a PVP FPS game. The game runs at a solid 60 FPS and it doesn't have any aim assist. The game offers some of the most intense moments in gaming. Knowing you have to defend an objective for 30 more seconds and you are the only one alive and you hear walls exploding and all kind of devices going off makes you feel alive. The gameplay is pretty much this. There are two teams, one defending one attacking, each team gets 30 seconds to prepare, the defenders to reinforce walls and prepare traps and the attackers to locate the objective (2 bomb sites - coz thats the game mode that is relevant for the game) with drones and to hide drones for the game. Then the attacking team has 3-4 mins to either kill all 5 enemies or to diffuse one of the bombs. The defenders have to kill or enemies or to prevent attackers from diffusing any bomb. Both teams have to chose from over 40 unique operators each having different weapon set and a unique ability. You can rappel, lean left-right, friendly fire, break windows, doors, enter windows, rappel into skyline windows, destroy some walls, destroy some ceilings or floors or use drones (attackers) and fixed cameras (defenders). The game is very fun and complex and the community is also great. For me it is probably the best competitive FPS out there now. It still has some old bugs and since there are so many operators it has a very steep learning curve for new players. 9/10… Expand

    Playing this game is a nice fun. A lot of operators to unlock. A lot of different skills. Every operator has unique weapon/talent. Fair system of unlocking (not pay to win). Also single player (10 operations) are great fun for +10h.

    After years of playing CS 1.6, CS:Source, and a bit of CS:GO, this game has filled the void of a tactical, teamwork-focused FPS on console for me.

If you're like me and don't have many friends dedicated to PC gaming and all of them have consoles and enjoy shooters with the game pad instead of keyboard and mouse (sort of) then this game is perfect. Even after 3 years, it has a strong player base and constant updated content with new season, operators and maps. Albeit the new maps haven't been met with rave reviews but at least they are trying to keep things fresh, and they succeed in doing that at least. The new operators always change the meta of the game, sometimes for better, sometimes for worst, but again, it keeps it fresh after a new season starts.
    There are a couple of negatives. Any sort of game changing bug, and there has been LOTS of these in 3 years, have been very slow to be fixed by the developers. There was once a 'black jesus' bug back in year 1 where your player model basically displayed a standing silhouette with its arms out giving your position away obviously.
    Another negative is that as your reach the higher ranks on console, it is evident a lot of players are exploiting the use of keyboard on mouse using 3rd party devices, offering them an advantage over other players. The sad things is that Ubisoft haven't done anything in the 3 years to try and combat this and seem happy for it to happen.
    The fact of the matter is that there is no shooter like this on consoles and Siege has thrived in this role. I will be playing it for a long while yet, at least whilst the developers are still supporting it, and with the strong player base that still contributes financially buying season passes, skins and alpha packs, I see this game going on long into the future, probably until the PS5.    … Expand

    Is Rainbow6 a perfect game?
    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.

    One big gripe is that the main gamemodes (hostage extraction, bomb defuse...)... every session easily turns into standard death match... so effectively, you're just playing team death match over-and-over, with an optional hostage to extract or whatever.

    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

    Although it's a more realistic shooter I feel like someone with not so great fps skills can enjoy this. 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.

So far I've sunk about 6 hours into the game across the various modes and while not a perfect game, it reminds me of the older Rainbow Six games and the fondness that I've held for the series all these years. 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
