Official Thread Rainbow Six | Siege

Managed to get in finally on X1 although at first it gave me a connection error. Graphics are underwhelming - a staple from the original Rainbow games I was hoping they didn't keep. Gameplay felt fast though; not COD fast but not like I remember LMS in Rainbow. Lean is now contextual but not in a good way and I don't think there is blink fire. Can you modify weapons to add silencers? I really wanted to like this title, and maybe I just need some more time for it to grow on me, but so far I am just not feeling it.
 
By the way, there's no such thing as a beta for a game that comes out in a few days. There's no way in heck anything would get patched that quickly. A beta having this many problems so close to launch should be a huge red flag.
 
I like it a lot. At this point it's a confirmed buy as long as it has enough variety of maps and modes.

f***ing tactical. You really feel the beauty of a perfect execution. Seems pretty balanced so far. Haven't hsd any issues with defending or attacking ss long as you're doing it with s good team.
 
I'm not gonna lie, I don't expect this to review great and I think it's disappointing there's no co-op story mode, but the multiplayer is just so fun. Just trying silly things with friends is hilarious, and super satisfying when you pull them off. It feels a lot of people aren't taking advantage of the destruction still, but it's so useful for getting that extra advantage. So many easy kills to be had my shooting through a smartly placed hole in the wall. I just hope the matchmaking doesn't s*** the bed on release.
 
I just hope it has a good amount of maps. I really dig the game but if it comes with only like 4 or so maps...we'll see. As long as you're in a team that knows their sh!t then you'll have plenty of fun.

My one gripe is really just the death animations lol. There aren't any and sometimes it just looks funny.
 
Feels like this might be the only shooter out this holiday that tops Battlefront's out of the box shallowness. The one advantage is free dlc ... but it kind of feels like they should have waited to include the dlc at launch if they want to justify the $60 price tag. Sure,you can take thier word they will support it for a year and give them your $60 now but if players don't support this game then they could easily shut it down. On the flip side, you will be able to pick this up on sale and not have to attach a full price season pass to it just to bring it up to date (a favorite trick of COD...discount base version a year in knowing the mp is pretty worthless without season pass which is still sold at original $50 price point).

I played a few rounds. It is hard to gauge right now as obviously there are tons of total noobs like myself. Most people still don't even plug in a mic... stuff like that is just what makes good games go bad. For games like this, you're only going to have as much fun as others allow you to. If people are going to not even use a mic... forget it. There also needs to be a major quit penalty too, otherwise going down 2-0 may as well just end the match.

The 3 minute timer didn't seem so bad. It is a lot longer than it seems. I did have fun in spite of having no clue.

11 maps. Which isn't really a great number for a MP only game.

This has possibly the worst season pass ever which is probably a good thing as nobody will be missing much by not buying it.

I'm actually ok with that since the maps are huge with plenty of areas and scenarios. I also heard the maps dlc are all free? Sounds good as well!

I already bought the game. I just couldn't pass up I haven't played a mp game this interesting in a long time. I was surprised that the servers are online for the full game!
 
I got this game for free with my new video card. Will check it out tomorrow when it releases as I already got it preloaded. Anything a noob should know going in?

Too much information to share on here. Just know that it is NOT a run and gun game. Just dive into it and you'll start figuring things out.

I can only say it's very important to pay attention to sound and keep an eye on the surveillance be it through cameras or even drones.
 
If you plan on playing Terrorist Hunt, be sure to up the difficulty to Hard or even Realistic for a much better experience. Normal mode AI has crap aim and doesn't take full advantage of the game's offensive and defensive capabilities.
 
I thought there would be some reviews out today but not seeing much of anything. We're the press denied receiving early copies?
 
for anyone that played the older R6 like black arrow etc is this any good please? i loved the old series!
also as well as co-op game modes is there 5v5 versus mode? also could me and my son play 2 player co-op against AI bots please?
looked on the website but can't find much info!

It doesn't really feel too much like those game but the answer is yes to all questions. Unless you want to co-op in split screen. Don't think that exists.
 
Plainview can we turn this thread into the official thread?

The game is currently at 76, beating out Star Wars on metacritic (this is metacritic week).
 
Got this last night so me and my son can play and it's awesome! Def not easy online and you can't play it ala COD but lots of fun!
Used to play R6 on PC back in the day and this feels similar to the old R6 as opposed to BA and R6 Vegas.
Feels great when you use gadgets along with a team mate and a 'plan comes together' :)

That's the way console betas are. PC betas may be a year off.

Console betas are r******d. BF games are the main culprits of this. MoH and BF console games get a beta 3 weeks before launch. LOL. The game already has gone gold and discs are being pressed.

Beta = code name for demo, but makes console gamers feel like their input means something when it doesn't
 
As long as you're with friends the game is a ton of fun IMO. My main two issues so far:

1) There isn't a huge amount of content. I think everyone knew this going in and while I'm loving the game it can't be ignored. Hopefully they can really push out maps/modes pretty often.

2) Map weighting in matchmaking is terrible. Playing the maps from beta over and over but the non-beta maps are rare as hell. I'm level 16 and there's still a map I haven't seen once, and a few I've played only once or twice. They should really not let players see the same map two times in a row in matchmaking.

Agreed to an extent with regards to content (Definitely agree with Map Rotation). I think with regards to content 11 maps and 20 operators is pretty damn good. But the game lacks a proper single player so it should have had a bit more. Thankfully though it does seem like they will be supporting the game often:

I'm in love with the game. This is exactly what I needed after the complete f*ck up that the CoD series turned into. Me and all of my friends are hooked and this is now THE game that we will play all year around (Prolly until the next one). Hopefully they make this an annual release.
 
Is all that content part of season one or spread across the year. Four maps is good deal for a single season dlc but dud if its per each of the four seasons.

New modes...if the release a LMS mode I'll for sure buy.
 
Getting kills through walls using Pulse's heartbeat sensor is so satisfying, using a drone to mark an enemy and then shooting through a wall with the Glaz is awesome too.
 
Yeah. Pulse has become one of my favorite defense operators after Mute. I can FEEL the other guy raging when he gets shotgun blasted through a wall!. But even though, it ain't easy using the heartbeat sensor.
 
It sucks that games of this type are exclusively multiplayer focused now.

I get why that is. But I had a lot of fun with the old games' campaigns.
 
this game has tempted me for awhile now, probably first price drop (digital) i will get it

I like that they are all useful. Except IQ. IQ sucks.
