    I'm having the same issue as always where I really want to give this game an 8 or 9 because I am a huge fan of the Rainbow Six series, but this game just reeks of Ubisoft, and they've done things that warrant a 7/10.

    My biggest issue (which might be fixed) is the servers, during the Beta and even the full game, the servers are as stable as a house of toothpicks, I've noticed that Ubisoft could never handle multiplayer games without them killing themselves; nevertheless, I am 'almost' certain that this issue will be rectified.
    My other primary complaint is how there's less customization and freedom, I'm noticing a very bullsh*t theme with all the new releases, why is it that all the older games in the franchise had more player freedom? they did this in Battlefront 3, Fallout 4, and Black Ops 3. what the hell is going on?
    20 operatives with sparse customization? no thanks.

    I also have some small complaints. on the backs of the Spetsnaz members, in Russian it reads FSB.
    FSB is an entirely different thing, that's like being a Navy seal, but having SWAT on your back.
    also it just bothers me to see 5 assorted CTUs shooting at other CTUs, why? you couldn't make terrorist skins?
    I do like how each charachter has a unique name that means something in their colloquial language.
    Kapkan means trap, and he sets down tripwires. and Tachanka roughly means cart with gun, or gun cart. the word came from the Russian civil war, when calvary men would put a maxim heavy machine gun on a cart and attach it to a horse. and Glaz, which means eye (because he's a sniper, get it? kek). then you have Montagne, which means Mountain. I don't speak German so I couldn't tell you about them, but I am almost certain they mean something too, it's just the little things that make it so much better.
    I think I've been ripping on the game too much, but rest assured, I absolutley love this game, it's brilliant, and as a reviewer below me pointed out, it IS a nice change to see a game that isn't mindless bullet parties like COD or BF, I just hope that COD players stay the hell away from this game. I have lots of fun playing this game and every kill feels earned, not cheap. and every time you wipe a squad, you feel like a bonafide badass. the game has that whole Battlefield moment sudden rush, if you don't know what that is, it's just when you get one of those moments that make the game a whole lot more exciting, almost cinematic at times.

    I am actually done with reviewing the game itself, but I have one last grievance.
    So I've heard people compare this to CS:GO, and that's wrong, but not in the way you think, this game is actually more intense and demanding then CS:GO, this game requires actual roles and objective managment, so it requires a competent intelligent team, one f*ck up, and you're dead, this game requires full attention and skill. but that's just the thing, on Xbone, it's cancer central, everyone who I end up in a lobby with is a moron or doesn't speak english, get it on PC.
    also I get 30fps on terrorist assault, okay I'm done.    … Expand

It had an immense amount of variety and customization available to the player.

    With that being said Siege is an ok game but it feels like an ambitious yet hollow game. Destructible environments are great but Siege is a been there, done that experience with pretty destruction. The graphics are muddled and flat. There is no real customization for your operators other than the choice of 2 or 3 primary weapons with a limited variety of scopes, etc. This game lacks clan support, deep customization or anything to really want you to invest in the character. Yes they created bios and a back story for each operator but it feels like a waste.

    In terrorist hunt you have no control over what game types you play, meaning if you like the standard terrorist hunt you are out of luck because everything runs off their servers and is random so you'll have to sit through bomb difusal multiple times to get to a better mode. I will give them kudos for great terrorist AI and well created and thought through level designs but honestly that's about all I can give them a thumbs up for.

    On top of that there are limited maps, operators, no single player experience which is where R6 really shines.

    Then the kicker is that they want you to buy a $30 season pass that includes nothing more than weapon skins and xp boosters and access new new operators one week early... wow......all for $30!! They have already stated that maps will be free and new operators can be unlocked with in game currency so unless you really have to have that pink panda skin for your gun and are in a hurry to get it don't bother with the season pass.

    Unless they reboot R6 and bring back a great, engaging campaign that can be played co-op this is my last R6.    … Expand

Gameplay is fun and a slower than in CoD or BF, but that doesn't man it's bad or boring. Game can give a nice adrenaline rush, when breaching the wall or defusing the bomb in last few second. But... it's Ubisoft. There's a lot of bugs in the game, some are just funny (someones legs sticking through the wall, so you can kill him by shooting them), some are kind of annoying (playing character with a shield, while shield textures are not working so you can't see anything, because shield is a black shadowy thing), and some are game-breaking: matchmaking is terrible, there are terrible servers issues (you can play, but your friend can't even connect to the servers, for, like 1 hour straight), your squad is randomly disconnected, people get random disconnections (I don't remember when there was list time that I played 5 vs 5, it's 5 vs 4 or 5 vs 3 almost all the time, which in game like this makes a big difference), the rank system is useless too. So, making a long story short: Buy it only if you are patience person. If not, wait few months, hoping that Ubisoft will fix those issues... which I doubt.… Expand

There is nothing better than playing this game with three of your friends who have the patience and intelligence to play this game the correct way. With good strategy and team work this game performs masterfully unlike any other FPS. Playing both as attackers and defenders takes team strategy in both preparation of the round and execution of the round, with the occasional individual heroics. The game rewards sticking together and using your special abilities of your character. The game provides for many unique routes of attacking or defending each round which supplies unique game play for a rather repetitive game. Choosing characters in the beginning of each round is crucial because each character has individual guns and abilities that can alter which methods of attacking or defending that you should chose.

    Beware though, playing this game yourself with randoms can be a nightmare. With no communication and no strategy you are almost doomed to lose every round. Many players become frustrated and lose their patience. This when they start to play, as I call it, "Call of Duty style" where they just run towards the enemy head on, almost always resulting in death. I have never found playing this game by myself fun, especially on defense with people ripping your barricades or blocking your point of vision.

    The intensity of this game is refreshing but it is ultimately limited by whether your friends are playing or not. I can't let this aspect of the game hurt the review score too badly because that is the downside of a tactical game. And everyone who plays Rainbow Six Siege is signing up for a tactical experience.    … Expand

They compare only to EA in their attempts to nickle and dime gamers. To an extent I tolerate it- if the game surrounding the DLC/microtransaction money machine is great. This is not the case.

    I understand how the industry works- I get that profits are needed in order to maintain a game company, however many companies are hugely profitable and do not even offer microtransactions and small paid DLC. Take CD Projekt Red- the give 16 free DLCs with the Witcher 3. In addition the base game is so huge that you can spend 100s of hours playing it. In other words, you get a lot of bang for your 60 bucks. And if you choose to purchase the paid DLC option- it offers you another 40 hours of additional content, which is a fair deal. $15 bucks lands you a lot of entertainment- i like that. $15 buck in Siege gets you 2 weapon skins and 1 new playable character. Awesome...

    Lets look at siege. Fun game yes- I will surrender that. It is exciting, thrilling, and offers a tactical layer to shooting that few games offer. But with pretty much NO single player content (minus an extended tutorial) and only really 1 game mode its more on tune with a 20 dollar DLC for COD rather than a stand alone AAA title. You can play every game mode and map in a day or so. So while the base content is fun- there is very little in the way of variety or scope.

    In addition they try to pry dollars out of you. Want a new operator? Pay us more... Want gun skins? Pay us more... Want new gun attachments? Pay us more... Sure you can grind for these things- but it is obviously set up to fuel microtransactions. Brand new players will spend a butt load and have a gear advantage over those playing for weeks and grinding for gear. That is not fair- the "pay to win" feature is clear here.

    Few things are needed to operate a smooth FPS multiplayer shooter. Good mechanics are key, a good leveling system is important, balanced maps that cater to multiple gameplay styles is crucial, and of course balancing between weapons/play styles. Siege has many of these things- some more than others. But what it lacks is the single most important aspect of an FPS online game- good servers. The game freezes and crashes all the time, almost EVERY SINGLE MATCH this happens to some degree. If you play using the ranked play feature (with other experienced players) then you cannot quit a match. If you do you are banned for 24 hours. So when your game freezes and no one can move or shoot then you have to sit through 7 5 minute rounds never once being able to move. If you get board and do not want to spend 35 minutes starring at the screen then you can quit and not player for 24 more hours. The "no quit" rule to ranked play is not a bad idea though- however that rule mixed with **** servers creates a lot of frustration. Inexcusable.

    Game like COD, Destiny, Battlefield, Battlefront, Evolve, and other MMOs have MUCH more strain on their servers and issues like the ones in siege are a rarity. It is clear Ubisoft cut corners in the server department and it cost the game dearly.    … Expand

With that said I am glad they are concentrating on multiplayer and adding stuff to it over time. However, from the launch there needed to be more to multiplayer, more customization, more maps, more depth to the overall gameplay, more uniqueness to maps, I think they hit something really cool that hasn't been done yet in the shooter world but they need more work.The multiplayer is fun but it needs to have some options, having more game modes with and maybe things like having game modes more than 5 vs 5. I will say this I am glad they made it virtually impossible to run and gun. The game is truly a tactical shooter and the general census from talking with players online is that YOU NEED A MIC TO PLAY WELL. With more customization in players hands and some added depth and uniqueness to multiplayer this will definitely be a multiplayer game people will never get bored playing. In terms of the realism it is great, from the weapon sway when walking, to the just really great graphics and feel to the game, I look forward to what Tom Clancy has for the future.… Expand

That being said, this is easily THE MOST toxic game/ gaming community I have ever played with. You wanna just sit down and play a casual game after work to unwind? This isn't the game for you! You will get killed by your teammates in almost every casual match you play. There is a good 60% chance that you will get voted out of the game by your team, and a 100% guarantee you'll get voted out if you can't clutch a match even after you entire squad gets slain. But thankfully, there are 2 other playlists for you to enjoy. Unranked: a great playlist for not so casual gamers that push the bounds of ranked gameplay with no active rank tracker. The percentages that you will get team killed/ voted out aren't as high as casual, I'd say those odds are closer to 30%-50%. Ranked: extremely competitive, but definitely the redeeming quality in this game... (is what I would have said if I wrote this review a year ago.) How ranked is set up these days is a joke. You'll again get team killed in nearly every single game you play, on top of not even getting fairly placed into teams to begin with. Oh damn you're a gold rank, thats great were gonna go ahead and match you with some platinums, no big deal. Oh damn your team got utterly crushed by a team that WAY outranks you, that's fine, you deserve to be a lower rank player anyways. You are ranked based off of how your team plays matches, not how you play as an individual. Moving on, the caliber system in this game is an absolute joke. Caveira’s 9mm pistol [67 damage] does more damage than most rifles in the game. In fact her pistol the Lusion (Beretta M9) is the exact same pistol her counterpart (Capitao) [35 damage] has, it just has a different suppressor, and yet some how it does almost twice the damage his does, I mean in what world does that make any sense? In fact Capitao has a Para-308 automatic rifle in his load-out, his .308 caliber rifle does 20 point LESS damage than her 9mm suppressed pistol, WTF is that??? iTs bEcAuSe ShE HaS To Be ComPeTItiVe. If you're not big on gun calibers, just do a quick google search on the difference in the size of those rounds, 9mm Vs. .308, it's honestly laughable. If you're trying to be a hyper realistic anti-terrorist-unit game that relies heavily on gun play, then you should at least try to understand the mechanics and calibers of firearms. A 9mm that does more damage than a .308 is quite hilarious, but when you get killed after dumping 5-6 rounds in her chest and she one shot drops you, that ain’t fun it’s just ridiculous and makes you want to quit. Recoil patterns in this game are laughable. Ela’s Rifle has THE WORST recoil in the game, but it’s the lowest caliber gun in the game, 9mm (while the weapons that are 7.62x39 [AKs] and up have hardly any recoil?), please explain that to anyone who has actually handled a rifle in their life. There are lots of issues with this game that seem trivial but are honestly just game breaking and make those encounters absolutely 1 sided. More so, this game relies HEAVILY on you purchasing cosmetics, which is **** because it lowers the standard of this game to that of Call of Duty/ Fortnite. It’s no fun showing off what you earned when the kid next door takes his moms credit card and buys the skin you worked your ass off for. It would be nice if someone with actual firearm experience made the weapon systems and platforms, this game tried, but ultimately failed because they were too concerned about operators being "viable and fair", (9mm does more damage than an AK, yeah right). Aside from those MAJOR flaws, this game is hella fun if you've got friends to play with, as they probably won't just team kill you/ vote you out. If you do buy this game, you better have the patience of the Dali Lama other wise you're gonna have a really bad time.… Expand

    Okay so with the time of me writing this, this game has been active for 5 years now and i think it’s been a good amount of time that I think I can give my opinion on it with good amount of experience i have playing this game. For starters, I absolutely love the whole 5v5 search and destroy type feeling with one life per round. I also like how the operators work in this game. You obviouslyOkay so with the time of me writing this, this game has been active for 5 years now and i think it’s been a good amount of time that I think I can give my opinion on it with good amount of experience i have playing this game. For starters, I absolutely love the whole 5v5 search and destroy type feeling with one life per round. I also like how the operators work in this game. You obviously have stronger operators and weaker operators but it’s still a good system. Another reason why is due to the fact that not all operator shave the same equipment. So that means you have to either coordinate with your team and bring the correct operators that bring that piece of equipment or attack from a whole different area. I also love the destruction that the maps have in each of them. You have obviously soft walls like wood and all you can shoot through but you also have walls you can’t breach or shoot though to which I like. The last thing that I really love is the learning curve this game has. For example, when you first play the game, you will find that you will die to some complete random hole in the wall or some weird angle someone to which is frustrating when you first die to it but then, you learn it and learn how to either counter it or prevent it from happening to which I LOVE mostly about this game. Another thing i like too is the rank system. Now currently, there is a issue that they have in rank and it’s where you would have to pick between 3 maps to ban. Now if both teams ban the same map, then the game will “randomly” select one of the 2 remaining maps left. Now even though that’s great and all, currently there is a issue where it ONLY picks the map on the left to which sucks bit they are working in a fix for that so it’ll be foxed soon i hope. Now another BIG issue that i have on console in general is how DDOSing is a BIG issue right now especially in rank. It has gotten to a point now where almost every rank match i play, I get DDOSed and can’t even get back in causing me to get punished for “leaving the match and not returning.” How ever, it is not mainly Ubisoft’s fault and it is mainly Microsoft’s and Sony’s fault but not completely. Also, a small issue i have with rank is smurf accounts. The reason why i hate it is because it’s the fact that when i lose to some smurfs on the enemy team, I don’t know if I’m just a bad player or maybe i was playing against some Pro League type players to which sucks to go against that because I’m NO WHERE as good as a pro league player for Rainbow Six siege. However, it’s not that big of a issue but it kinda kills me by giving me a false mindset if i’m actually good of I just suck. But other than that, Rainbow Sox siege is a really great game and I honestly still enjoy playing it from time to time with it’s limited game modes to achieving a high rank or just going into a casual match having fun with my friends.… Expand

    EN:
    Absolute average, the maps are good, but the mechanics and shooting are not so good. Minus for the absence of SP mode.

    SRP:
    Apsolutni prosek, mape su dobre, ali mehanika i napucavanje i ne baš. Minus za izostanak SP moda.

    so much fun at the start so strategic but not very start when you get pummeled by smurfs. Later on, it gets boring you play mouse and keyboard players which is unfair. Then it just feels like the same cycle with everything even new things go in categories there are no new ones no change in meta none only get good and there's almost no fun allowed it seems. but even though I sound I hateso much fun at the start so strategic but not very start when you get pummeled by smurfs.

    A clever and compelling multiplayer offering that transplants the meticulous planning of classic Rainbow Six into a modern shooter - but concerns about its long-term prospects persist. [Feb 2016, p.75]

    Rainbow Six: Siege may give the impression of being a work in progress still but it nevertheless delivers a tense tactical experience for those of you who will manage to play it with friends willing to participate in solid teamwork.

    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.
