    Let's be truthful people, you play call of duty year in and year out, a different story year in and year out.

    Outdated mechanics, sluggish controls and an extremely toxic player base.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.

    Good game, if you can get it to work. If you're going to create a game that is only multiplayer, and let's be clear this game is only multiplayer, then it better actually work online.

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

    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

    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

    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

    Great game that involves team coordination and smart choices. If you are tired of fast paced FPS then get this game. I love it, i give it a 9 because of servers malfunctioning but the devs are working on fixing that and have a great year line up planned. there is a single player but it is very small. I already have 30 hours- the games awesome when you have a group. Strongly recommend

    A nugget of poop works better than ubisoft servers. Good game if you can actually get it to work. When i get it to work i am usually kicked off for network issues, nothing on my end. When i leave a match it force quits me from my squad. Eh. great game if you are patient

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

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

    Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical mastermind and a tremendous game... if you have friends that are ready to play tactically.

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

Only no-no I have for this game is that it seems grindy at first, as you have to hit level 20 to get into ranked games, but Ubisoft did this so that noobs who team kill, won't easily be able to troll teams, like they do in casual or terrorist hunt gamemodes. There are 20 operators in the base game, and you can buy a starter edition for 15 bucks if you want to try out the game without wasting money and it will give you a couple of operators.

    Easily the best shooter on console... A very refreshing new look at the FPS genre, this game offers a tactical team based combat that we have never seen before.... If you are sick of seeing the same shooters every year and desire something new and challenging yet fun then this is the game for you.... Best FPS in years!!!!!

    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.

    It's better than Vegas but it's funny how the Rainbow 6 classic games have more strategic options to complete missions. SWAT 4 is also a good example of this.

    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.
