    Let's be truthful people, you play call of duty year in and year out, a different story year in and year out. But in the end what keeps a shooter going is it multi-player, and that's were rainbow six shines. It's as real as it gets. Intense heart pounding action, with great sound affects, and best of all great team work. Is this game worth $60 bucks I would say yes because for 1Let's be truthful people, you play call of duty year in and year out, a different story year in and year out.

In one game you can experience the as delight and anger. Players of the Russian region is particularly acquainted - we have never had less than 50 ping. But with 100 ping, the game makes you hate on a regular basis.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical shooter, in which there are destructible, which also need to be use tactically. It's a good game lures - their capabilities. Here you can not just stupid to get in to the enemy through the door and break through the wall, ceiling, blow the door, and the opponent will be confused "where am I to watch?!". Outside you can climb down the wall on ropes, punching the window, hanging and upside down (which at first familiar, but you can get used to) - it is also necessary to use, as the enemy often does not expect. There are different ways to break through walls and other fortifications to strengthen the walls, set various traps. And operatives must have individual abilities and their weapons. All this makes the game insanely replayable, and just a Paradise for lovers to play it on tactics. We also have a drone (team attack), which can be used to mark opponents, and just to check if everything is "clean". In this game, don't just go ahead. Usually you can go to the desired object from about three sides, and even more. And if you know that if you go just like a sheep forward, you die, then you just need to go to the other side and to catch opponents off guard. And it seems so logical, but no, a stupid to go ahead without checking your drone is there ahead of the enemy. This game is about careful gameplay.

    You've planned everything, you're done, you know exactly what is going to kill the opponents, but here comes Ubisoft with their network code that wrote Indian the heel of the left foot. The problems can be different from the second podlaha before his sudden departure from the session. Ubisoft are really trying to fix things, and now it's playing without problems, but you still can kill enemy when you noticed him only a second while on his cell tupil you almost half a minute. Hate it. Due to these technical situations, and many others and I want the hell to remove this horrible game. But the gameplay makes you run, "the Siege" again and again. And when everything turns out as you planned, really enjoy it.

    The game has no story, stand-alone company, there is only multiplayer. To familiarize yourself with the mechanics is "Operation". And it would be better for the beginner to get them to watch the introductory videos, and then only to go into the game. "Siege" requires direct hands, the weapon happens with a character, you also need to know the map, and then you just have no escape routes or don't know how to get around the enemy. Of course, one must know and operatives for whom you play. All of its pluses and minuses. Operatives in the game is not enough, and there will be more. In the "Antiterror" you can train against bots. On the complexity of "Realism" bots are very good, it is generally one of the most intelligent bots to rebuild. take you to the hearing, bypass. This mode is useful for beginners, as there you will get acquainted with the operative and weapons. The gun shoots great, the sound is excellent. But some of the guns look much viagraxna (especially with ACOG). With automatic Ash or famas from Twich much better put headshots. But sometimes ubisoft and shotguns kill for a couple of meters (as it was when I added just Frost). Headshots are literally with one shot (as it should be), but in Siege it may not be skill, but simply luck. The enemy can shoot at you from a vending machine Bandit and one of the twenty bullets will hit you and you die. Hate it. Hitboxes in this game at all bothered. Different investigators different armored is a bit of a controversial decision.

    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege despite all the technical flaws and the occasional controversial decisions by the dev team, this is a great tactical multiplayer shooter with insane replayability, and gameplay that gives you many opportunities. The game clearly goes for the emotions. It's just the orgasm at the tips of ecstasy!    … Expand

    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!    … Expand

    Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Siege is a first person tactical shooter game, created by Ubisoft, designed for a very specific type of player. It is full of intense moments and hard decisions to be made by the player in very little time. The player needs to be well concentrated and have a good reaction time as to win close up battles. The player must also have a lot of patience because the game is very much hit and miss with the pace of a match. Online games are 5 vs 5 matches in one of three game modes: Bomb, Hostage, or Secure Area. The teams are attackers’ vs defenders.
    Pros
    Rainbow 6 consists of 4 different game modes, this gives some variety for the player to avoid them becoming bored. Two of the game modes are strictly multiplayer, they are “Casual” and “Ranked” matches. Casual matches are just for fun and to have a good time and they are also useful for practicing the game and getting use to the controls. Ranked is a lot more intense which gives you a personal rank at the end of 10 matches, this rank is also affected after receiving your initial rank. Ranked matches are much more intense than Casual because people like to keep their personal rank as high as possible. At the end of each season, personal ranks are reset to nothing so everybody gets another chance to get a better score.
    Another game mode is called Terrorist Hunt, which can be played in single player, multiplayer, or just with your Squad (friends in custom team). Terrorist Hunt is a mode that is only played against AI and it has three difficulties: Normal, Hard, and Realistic. You can either attack or defend, and these settings can be changed so you get a specific map and game mode.
    The final game mode is called “Situations”, these are single player missions which are advised to be done when you start the game because it is a good way to earn some of the in-game currency, Renown. The situations are a good way to learn the game and get use to the controls before facing off with real people online. Situations a have a 3 star system on how you perform, each star unlocked for the first time rewards you with 200 Renown. You are able to go back and redo these missions if you miss any. After completing all 10 situations, you unlock an 11th mission that is multiplayer called “Article 5”.
    Rainbow 6 has a rage of 20 original Operators which are the characters you play as in game. If no operator is selected then you are put in as a recruit who has no attachments or gadget. This is so you are still able to play but also a punishment for not picking an operator. Among the 20 original operators, there are 13 additional operators that have been added to the game through DLC’s given at the end of each season. The DLC’s are all free but the new operators are always more expensive than the original unless you own the season pass, in which case they are free. The original operators all begin at 500 Renown, but as someone from the same group is bought, the others values increase. They increase to 1,000, then 1,500, and finally 2,000. All DLC operators cost 25,000 Renown. The game offers a small biography section for all of the characters revealing something about themselves.
    All Operators have their own unique and special gadget that puts them apart from all of the other operators. This show that Ubisoft have given the players a large variety to choose from and a lot of resources to be more tactical.
    The game is also extremely realistic as one shot to the head kills you. You are able to harm and kill your teammates as well as the enemy. This brings a whole new tactical element to the game.

    Cons
    The game contains a lot of content and this opens it up to quite a few bugs, and these do happen.
    Quite often in multiplayer while spectating another player, the will be holding their gadget out or the will not be holding anything from your perspective although to them everything is fine. Quite often, players lag and this causes them to bounce back to the point they started at.
    The game comes with a variety of maps but some leave you out in the open if you are an attacker when you first spawn in, this allows the defenders to break down doors and windows to kill you at the beginning of the round.
    Quite often when new operators are added, they are deemed “too good” and they then get what is called a nerf to make the game fair on either team. This is often done too much and the operator becomes too bad to be played by most people.
    Conclusion
    In conclusion the game is very good and definitely worth playing because this game is a first person shooter like no other. It is available on three different platforms, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Although it has some bugs, Ubisoft are constantly working to patch them in every update. This game is definitely worth it for what it costs which is around £20.    … Expand

The tides can turn fairly quickly if your aren't careful, sloppy run and gun tactics will leave you in the crosshairs, with accessible security cameras that can give you the drop on your opponents to breachable walls allowing you to pave your own path to victory you will have to stay on your toes.

    To start things off, major props to Rainbow Six at Ubisoft because they took a huge risk at creating a game with no respawn in a generation that drools over Call of Duty and Battlefield action shooters, and they did a pretty good job with it.

    The gameplay is slower with more close quarter shoot outs than your average shooter. The maps are set to urban houses, airplanes, office buildings, and shooting range training buildings. There is sprint, but your character's speed is based on the type of equipment you're carrying.

    Terrorist Hunt is more diverse now, with hostage rescue, hostage protection, bomb defuse, and classic terrorist hunt. You can create a squad, and join terrorist hunt. The game will ask you the type of difficulty that you would like to play on, but the game modes are set to random along with the maps. You have a team of 5 players and if one gets downed, you can revive them once.

    Multiplayer is the same concept, with casual and ranked game play. Its 5 v 5 with no respawn, utilizing attacking and defending characters, each with their own skill set and equipment.

    The reason I did not give this a perfect score is because of some very minor things.
    First off, the characters only have 2 to 3 guns total to choose from and two choices of equipment; sometimes breaching charges or flash grenades, shields or barbed wire.

    Second off, going off of Rainbow Six Vegas which had AMAZING customization, this has none. R6Vegas you could pick your armor, your armor color, helmet, vest, kneepads, elbow pads. And that was for Xbox 360 and Ps3. This is a next-gen game with zero customization.

    Third, the character Thatcher is pictured with a shotgun, and a shotgun is not a even weapon choice that he can even have. [I said these were minor imperfections, remember.]

    Fourth, the online and servers right now are throwing out error codes left and right. When you first sign on, it says error code / servers unreachable. If you hit a button to continue, you're online anyways. I only know this because it did the same thing in beta so I figured it would be the same way in the game, and it was.

    Last but not least, there's no campaign. Rainbow Six has always been huge with story modes and the tactical movement of controlling Team Rainbow. Although this is a great game, I'm not too fond of the ideas that games are now thinking its okay to only release half of a game, regardless of how much you focus on multiplayer.

    Overall, I've been playing this game for 6 hours straight since the game released and I'm itching to continue playing tomorrow. I would recommend it. Its one of the few, if not the only, tactical shooter that's out that actually requires team work to get the job done. I know Rainbow Six Siege will only get better from here on out. They've been listening to the community since the closed Alpha and Beta and I believe they know what the players want.    … Expand

    Putting the R6 purism aside, Siege is still a good game in it's own merit. It tries to be the sweet spot of the entire series. Combining the modern style of shooters (COD, BF3 etc) with the slow and tactical pace, the series was known for.

    This is a multiplayer only game, and frankly i don't mind it. You engage in 5 v 5 missions. Objectives are varied and preserved from the older games: Hostage Rescue, Bomb Defuse.

    You play as a 5 man-team. If you are assaulting you rescue the hostages or defuse bombs . The other 5 defends the objectives while setting up traps or barricades. I like defending objectives as this is something new.

    There's allot of emphasis on breaching in Siege. You can repel in any formation around buildings and breach through windows and walls to surprise your foes. Not everything however is destructible. In fact, most of the interior and exteriors are static.

    If you're into the series for a while, Terrorist Hunt is still as addicting as ever. You do the same objectives as the main online mode, but you fight enemy AIs alongside your team.

    Like most modern shooters there's it's own class character system called "Operators". You select a variety of characters with special abilities and weapons. Ubisoft are kind enough for us to provide these features without micro-transactions and DLCs.. if we're willing to play the game long enough.

    This kind of shooter requires allot of communication. So it's good to play with your friends. If you don't have a choice the game is still playable but expect allot of f***-ups along the way. If you're feeling trigger-itchy Terrorist Hunt on normal difficulty can be a nice escape, as the bots are sometimes easy to kill.

    Graphics wise, this game isn't that beautiful. Destructible environments and details are nice, but nothing "Next-Gen-impressive". Terrorist Hunt runs in 30 frames per second on Xbox one, while the regular online runs in 60.

    This game however feels like an unfinished product (which unfortunately is becoming the norm these days). It has server problems and glitches. Though I'm sure Ubisoft will address these, paying a full price for a game that doesn't work well is unacceptable.

    + Fun Online
    + Maintains Tactical feeling
    + Great to play with friends
    + Defending objectives are new and refreshing.

    - Not a finished product
    - meh graphics
    - Still not rainbow six enough    … Expand

    The game play, it's self, is fantastic and nerve racking. rarely do you feel this level of accomplishment when you win a PvP match. Terrorist Hunt is fun and challenging. But the minimal content, limited game match types, and character customization is a significant down side.

    One of the best CS:GO alternatives.
    The servwers just BREAK my heart but don't worry, it's still worth it.
    BUT! The PC version is much better.
    If you can, play both versions and decide which one is better for you.

    People who dislike this game are either very bad at it, or don't understand how to play the game as a whole. Call Of Duty pains in comparison to the rushes and highs of this game. My favorite game on Xbox One, possibly my favorite game of all time. Keep in mind the lack of single player, but anyone who likes online games (even casual gamers) will love this game. Buy it. Now.

    A copy of Far Cry, Ghost Recon, & Battlefield... Obviously the game is good, but you (still) f--king required Internet Connection to play...

    The gameplay & The shooting was a hardcore experiance! Although, you required a tactical-team to make an emphazis strategy againts enemy fire.

    It don't matter if you lose, or win. You still get the feels....

    I've played this game for the past couple of nights and so far my experience has been rather good. First of all the gameplay is spot on, the sound effects and graphics are fantastic.

I have noticed some frame crunch every now and then which is disappointing but not a game-killer. My major concern with this game and the reason I haven't scored higher is the menu and server issues. I bought 4 new operators last night and each time you buy a new op you watch a short intro video. Each time it got to that stage my game crashed and I had to reboot. It takes an awful long time to log into the servers as it is without having to do it 4 times before launching a new game. It's a little confusing setting custom games with a full 10 people as we had lots of difficulty trying to join up when the host can only invite 5 people to his fireteam, took us 10 minutes just to find a work-around to this problem to get 2 full teams in. On the plus side it's a very refreshing game that's very objective driven and not just COD TDM which has been stale for years. A campaign would be nice however their are training missions available with short cut scenes but nothing even close to a proper campaign. With Titanfall, Siege, Battlefront etc all doing this we're paying more for much less which I do not approve of however the quality of the multiplayer justifies the score.… Expand

    Shows great promise.. but a few things need serious re-work.

    First the bad: Graphics. Terrible. Im not sure why this isnt on X360 as its clearly that level of graphics. The servers are terrible, its normal to start with 5 errors and disconnected, then 5 seconds later get connected.

    The lack of wall-hug like Vegas is crazy, the new lean mechanic is a nightmare, it needs putting back how it was.

    Also looses a point for not having a single player story, despite the levels clearly having been intended to have a story mode. It seems like it was removed at the last minute!

    Overall though its very good as a team based shooter, it could however have been so much more! Lets hope the patches fix those niggles and make this the tactical king it could have been,    … Expand

    If there is a better 1st person shooter I havent played it. True next gen and more to come. Amazing sound design, destruction, teamwork, environments. Infinite possibilities every game, true multiplayer challenge. Are you man enough? Chat works great so you basically have episodic Dungeons & Dragons battles with the result up to you and fate.

    No idea why this game is getting so much hate. Must be the COD's that play the same game re skinned every year.

    Servers were unstable at launch. Other than that, it's a great game. You shoot someone, they die. No hose of bullets needed like COD. Strategy and Team play win the game. Destruction, shooting though walls a little rock, paper, scissors with the operators.. Most    No idea why this game is getting so much hate.

If you are looking for COD or any other twitch-type shooter then this is not your kinda game. The fully destructible environments are amazing so hats off to Ubisoft for the complex programming required. 5v5 Player teams can destroy pretty much all walls, door, ceilings and floors needed to breach a room. This games takes group-planning and communication from your team members. It will take many hours to learn the maps, operators' skillset and loadouts for each. I've played many hours of this already (XBOX One, Lvl 15) and although the initial server connection always fails... any second attempt always works–not sure what the issue is. Fortunately I have a 10-50ms ping to the East coast azure servers, and once connected makes for smooth online gameplay. Considering this runs mostly online, it is amazing when everyone has good connections and mics. You will get the occasional ragers, haters, cursers and kiddies/squeekers, but they can be marked for kicking (by team vote) if need be. This is a true next-gen gaming product... if you have good internet (bandwidth, and ping speed to MS data center servers) then I highly recommend this product. PS4 and PC players have voiced numerous online issues which may be related to non-dedicated servers... so their mileage seems to vary which is too bad. Hopefully Ubisoft will host DediServs for all platforms soon. They will only hurt their reputation by hosting on sub-standard servers. Some people have complained about micro-transactions but you don't need to make those if you don't want to–they just accelerate the leveling-up process for those desperate to move up quicker at the cost of real money. Great game... rent at Redbox and make up your own mind for purchase.… Expand

    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.
