Ugh, Haven't played it, but I watched some Jackfrags gameplay. What is this s***? I thought the defining factor in R6 was realism. All I see is people sprinting around. It looks like Battlefield with tiny indoor maps. That's bulls***. There are enough run-and-gun games out there. I was hoping this was going to be a super-realistic sort of take and offer us something of a different experience.

The fact that I watched him set a charge, blow it under his feet, drop down through the ceiling without missing a beat, sprinting to the other guy and taking him out with a shot gun was utter garbage for a game like this. Entrance into any room should be harrowing experience. Running up stairs should be suicide. It didn't even look like there as any kick to the weapons at all. Very disappointing. When they originally showed it, it was slow, and blowing out walls filled the room with dust and debris. Like I said, it just looks like a limited Battlefield game.

This is definitely not run and gun. You'll quickly get yourself killed if you do that. But from the video you watched, it sounds like someone got corky and it worked.

Personally I play on Hard or Realistic. Enemy count is maxed and you're more vulnerable. I also think enemy AI is more brave. They can be really quick to hunt you down and flank you but they'll also hide in corners just waiting for you walk. I've seen it be stupid too. I once cleared a room and found one guy facing a corner and not even acknowledge me.

The game truly shine when you chat with your team. It really immerses you in the game and encourages you to work together, which is its own reward. However going lone wolf works too, but you have to keep an eye on your team and help them when necessary like when they're bleeding out.

I don't think he was fighting AI in the vid I watched. I definitely saw lots of running. I can't say too much, because I didn't play it, but it looked waay too much like Battlefield for my tastes. For me to bite, it needs to be different. There are waay too many options this fall, and a generic military shooter ain't cutting it with Battlefront and Halo 5 on deck, imo, not to mentions BLOPs 3 (I don't care about COD, but many do, obviously).

s*** this beta has a lot to fix before I even think about buying the final game. For multiplayer shooters, it's Halo 5 up front.

The main thing I hope is solved, and it's one you'd expect, is the joining games especially when it's with a party. Me and my friends would have to jump around between squad hosts so we could all get in the same squad, and then hope we don't get kicked out and split up when searching and then hope we all load into the game. Beta is beta, but issues like that will be the difference between the game starting out strong or crashing and burning on day one.

Other than that, I enjoyed what I played. Only thing I'd say I really disliked were the Gas men/suicide bombers in T-Hunt. They're a bizzare addition IMO, they don't fit a Rainbow Six game and feel more like something you'd see in Call of Duty Zombies or Gears' Horde mode. They're incredibly frustrating when they pop round a corner and instantly blow up in your face.

I'll try it out in open beta, but the short mission timers really have me concerned. Having only a few minutes seems contradictory to the theme of the game (careful planning, etc).

The timer is short. Most games end because people are scrambling because the timer is running out.

Yeah from the early videos it seemed like the defending team had a huge advantage and won simply because of the short timer.

The game talks about various strategies, but I'm not seeing any viable attacking ones other than rush.
 
Open beta has been delayed on all systems due to technical issues with the matchmaking. Not a good sign for a game that releases Tue and was already aware of matchmaking issues from the first beta. Preloaded and now in holding pattern to see if I like gameplay enough to buy. Something tells me its probably worth waiting on a sale.
