    Outdated mechanics, sluggish controls and an extremely toxic player base. Developer/publisher is way too money hungry with season passes, overpriced cosmetics and now a battle pass too. Just an all round awful experience and a disgrace to the Rainbow Six franchise.

    So I don't usually write reviews for anything but I really think this game deserves it. It is a good concept of a game and it always engages me if I can ever get into the damn game!!!

Now if you are saying..... Maybe it is your xbox or maybe it is your internet connection I tried everything, I turned my xbox right off, I let it sit for a while I checked if other games weren't crashing like this, hell, I even reinstalled the game.... and it still didn't work. It is one of the nicest games I have played but if you cant play it most of the time then you cant give it a good score. I don't know if the PC or PS4 version is any better but I am really annoyed because it is a great game and if it doesn't fix its problems then I will have to uninstall it and trade it in.… Expand

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

    This game is ruined by bad servers, it really feels like a scam. I spend more time restarting the game due to the dreaded "smokey fog screen"-bug. When I finally get to play, 50% of the time I get no renown after finishing a match, which sucks as renown is used to unlock new content (operators, weapons upgrades etc).

    Don't buy this game unless Ubisoft fixes its servers.

    I only purchased Rainbow Six Siege because of a holiday sale. I wasn’t impressed by the beta, and I’m not impressed a year later. R6S is devoid of content. The multiplayer and co-op modes are redundant and constrained. R6S has plenty of shortcomings, and certain problems really standout. R6S is so underwhelming, I struggle to write a review about it.

The multiplayer and co-op modes are redundant and constrained. R6S has plenty of shortcomings, and certain problems really standout. R6S is so underwhelming, I struggle to write a review about it.

    The graphics suck. R6S doesn’t look or perform well on consoles. It’s passable as a 360 game, but there’s nothing nextgen here. Textures are muddled and distant enemies are nearly impossible to spot. Screen tearing abounds. Frames are capped at 30fps on co-op although there isn’t much going on. Battlefield 1 maintains a solid 45fps on chaotic 64 player servers, and it always looks crisp and bright. R6S just reeks of bad optimization. Considering all the nooks and crannies where enemies can hide, high visual fidelity is a premium feature. Otherwise, players will just walk right by enemies (which happens) or shoot at inanimate objects (which also happens). Multiplayer runs at 60fps, but that doesn’t offset the terrible graphics. Ubisoft’s The Division looks superior in nearly every regard, so I don’t understand why its “competitive” multiplayer is worse off.

    The “unique” operators are gimmicky and don’t spice things up. Their special abilities aren’t nearly as important as their primary weapons and lethals. Matches inevitably devolve into camp fests where a few players creep around hoping to surprise corner campers. The intel gathering minigame at the start of matches is laughably underdeveloped and boring. Character customization is superficial. Looking back at some of Ubisoft’s previous titles, I’m surprised by R6S shallowness.

    Mechanics are awful too. Movement is rigid—like wading thru a swamp. Gun recoil is practically unmanageable with controllers. Environmental interactions don’t always succeed. Shields and other deployable assets will fail because of hidden obstacles.

    The dearth of game modes is inexcusable for a full-priced title. I don’t blame Ubisoft for excluding traditional TDM. However, R6S lacks a campaign, so offering only 3 modes is exorbitantly expensive for the asking price. And that’s the big reason R6S was DOA at release. Its recent surge in popularity is due to price cuts and COD fatigue. Although new maps are free, they don’t make up for the monotonous gameplay.

    There aren't dedicated servers for co-op mode, which is inexcusable. Players can’t be revived, so if a player dies early in a match, that player will more than likely drop out. If they’re hosting, the game ends. No host migration. Nothing. This happens a lot. Considering the impatience of Xbox tween gamers, I’m surprised Ubisoft didn’t foresee this. But since the problem isn't fixed, I doubt Ubisoft cares. Besides, peer-to-peer hosting is cheaper for Ubisoft. The experience is trashed so Ubisoft can keep more dollars in its pocket. This undesirable behavior affects multiplayer as well.

    Multiplayer games consist of round based matches. Players drop out so frequently between rounds lobbies often consist of all new players once the game ends. Normally, 2 or more players quit each round. So there isn’t much predictability in how matches play out. Fortunately, multiplayer modes are hosted on dedicated servers, so no host migrations. The downside is the inconsistency between rounds. If weak players drop out and better players join in, a match can swing wildly in their favor. And the opposite is also true. Multi-round win streaks can be stopped simply by the fact some players are sore losers and drop out.

    This leads to my next point, weak penalties for @$$holes. Rage quitters are annoying enough. However, team killing is a huge problem. It’s rampant, especially in terrorist hunt. I’m purposely killed at least once a night. One player was mad I picked his class. So he killed my character before the first round started.

    Another player killed my character for “stealing” his kills. That player was overwhelmed by 7 terrorists and needed the assist. He died immediately after he shot me. There’s next to nothing I can do except drop out. Why hang out with those jerks? Fellow gamers mention the same problem. The poor sportsmanship I’ve experienced in R6S rivals the immaturity of COD gamers. I’ve been team killed more in one week playing R6S than I have in the 4 years of playing Insurgency and Counterstrike GO. Ranked multiplayer imposes some fairly weak penalties, so most trolls migrate to casual multiplayer and co-op to ruin the game for everyone else. Players can be voted kicked, but the feature is abused.

    Siege is unpolished and overpriced. Ubisoft developed a half-assed tactical shooter and it somehow stuck around. R6S lacks the innovation and novelty of Ubisoft’s previous titles. There are better games out there, but wannabe progamers/twitchers promote R6S because it’s easy for them to play.    … Expand

Honestly, in comparison to other games that fit the genre, this game is the bottom of the pack. Pick an attacking or defending operator, join one of the 4 different game modes, and your primary goal in any case is most often just to kill everybody on the other team. If your goal is to extract the hostage, just kill the other team. If your goal is to plant/defuse a bomb, just kill the other team. If the goal is to kill the other team, kill the other team. Glitches online are unsettlingly common. Renown, which is the game's in-game currency, is used to purchase additional operators. On principle, I did not get season pass or purchase additional renown because I did my research before this game was released and wanted to assess the longevity. Turns out I was right. New operators cost too much to earn enough renown to purchase them with, and the game is too boring and repetitive to play consistently enough to earn renown. It's really just a vicious cycle of mediocrity, but that is apparently what Ubisoft has become content with releasing recently.… Expand

    Ubisoft is trash at building servers. You constantly get kicked from the servers and have to wait 30 minutes to a whole day if you get kicked right before the match end, and if you won the game (and was there the ENTIRE TIME except the last 30 seconds it kicked you) you get NOTHING. They are trash at their servers. In addition the gave is over ridden with M&K sweats.

В игре очень много читеров на пк, а на консолях их заменяют гении покупающие клавиатуру и мышь с адаптером за 200 баксов.

    Rainbow Six Siege is a fantastic game at its core. The controls are tight, the action is a perfect mix of exciting and thoughtful, and there’s lots of interesting new ideas that should be praised. But the lack of content and shameless business practices hold it back from greatness.
