    It bakes a string of unnerving themes into its gameplay that stand wholly apart from the bevy of shooters it’s competing with.

    Rather disappointed at all the negative reviews. It funny gamers comlain so often about titles just being more of the same over and over butRather disappointed at all the negative reviews. It funny gamers comlain so often about titles just being more of the same over and over but when a company does innovate and do something different they complain that "it's not like the old games." Seriously have some respect for innovation which this game is FULL of to say the least.
    Yes I too was a bit disappointed the 3rd person cover system is gone but after playing it for a while you know what? I don't notice it at all anymore. Gone as well is the split screen co-op terrorist hunt mode which I think was a mostake as well, that being said let's move on to the good stuff.
    This game is a totally new and fresh take on FPS that forces you to pace yourself, communicate and seriously work together as part of a squd if you want to win. If you want to run and gun and be a lone wolf then save yor money, it doesn't work in this game. You like a band of the hand 5 fingers working together to accomplish a task and they did a great job.
    The other thing they did a great job with is the destructible environments!! You are not safe nearly anywhere in the game. floors, walls,ceilings, boxes, banisters nearly anything can be shot through and almost completely destroyed its amazing! It's kinda crazy when the ceiling above you explodes in a cloud of smoke and debris and a dude drops through and starts lighting you up!
    There is also an excellent character variety with diverse skill sets and weapon types to suite your play style or goal on a particular level. Some are far more offensive, others are defense heavy and some are a decent mix of both. There is also a decent weapon selection and good mods and load outs for each gun which made me happy.
    This game is also unforgiving, it has a much greater sense of realism than game like COD or battlefield and on the harder difficulties it is nearly impossible to survive without excellent teamwork and communication so be warned! I think people need to be open minded and spend some time with the game rather than simply complain that it isn't just like the old rainbow games, I mean isn't that the point?? As gamers don't we want something frsh and new? I know I do and I am very happy overall with what they have done!

    There's not enough content for this game to cost $60. It's only worth $20-$25. Don't waste your money.
    The game-play feels slow and sluggish.

    The game-play feels slow and sluggish. There is NO VARIETY what so ever. Even though there's different game modes, they still play out the same way. You only have one life for every game mode. It's basically CoD Search & Destroy. There's not even any light mechanics like Thermal & Night vision goggles, or shooting out the lights. What's the point of the season pass if all the new operators and maps are free? I feel like I've been ripped off for buying the Gold edition. If you loved Rainbow 6 Vegas DON NOT BUY Rainbow 6 Siege. I feel like Ubisoft has kicked me in the nuts for being a fan.
