Rainbow Six: Siege is a Scary Concept

Sean Halliday of Pixel Gate writes:

''Choose your loadout. Pick carefully. Pick a weapon suited to the situation. Pick items that can get the job done, gear that will make things easier. Relevant equipment. Scout the area, select a route, formulate a strategy. The joys of true tactical shooters. It’s a genre that has pretty much died out on the console. Rainbow Six: Siege isn’t going to change that.''

This game reminds me of Vegas (the best game that ever was) ...hopefully we see that same level of team oriented gameplay with great hit detection. Probably the first "innovative" multiplayer's I've seen in a while. But Patriots was announced and then disappeared, hopefully this really sees the light.

Clearly you didn't play Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow. That was out before Xbox Live got destroyed by racist little kids. Teamwork and communication were huge in that game, but you could also have fun and joke around and everyone in the match would join in rather than flip crap about their k/d ratio.

mouzone4365d ago

yeah that and ghost recon two were my two favorite games on the first xbox

Phene4365d ago

Yeh I was a little late to console gaming, Vegas was my first real intro to multiplayer and I played it on the PC with one other friend and we had a blast. I did play the original Rainbow Six games, but they we're in a league of their own.

Yeh but I know what you mean, MP is at its best when its like that.

Evilsnuggle4365d ago

Rainbow six siege was my favorite game of E3 . I have posted 3 rounds of gameplay of rainbow six siege . I have some concerns that the assault team maybe over powered . I hope the developer balance both the defender team and the assault teams properly .

3 rounds of gameplay the assault team wins all three http://n4g.com/news/1532867...

Raven Shield and its expansions were the best in the series by far.

I played Rogue Spear on MSN Gaming Network PC way back in the day... Before Diablo 2 even came out.

R6 was my game. I even remember when the original Ghost Recon came out. I used to run around screaming "X,X" and jump to the ground because that's how you went to prone on the keyboard.

R6: Siege looked awesome.. The alpha mp footage I've seen is wild.

TO bad, all we getting now, more than ever are Battlefield clones. Shooter. MP shooters, oh and more shooters.
Let's see.
Battlefield 4
COD Ghost
COD Advanced War fighter
Warframe
Battlefield Hardline
Rainbow Six Siege
Retribution
Titanfall
Halo 5
Halo Master Chief Collection
Killzone

Jesus, we are on a steady fuqing diet of shooters.
all looking the same, all doing the same thing. If my life depended on it I couldn't even tell you the difference or the stories (if they have any) on any of these.

Hey, so much for innovation.
Guess they gotta pay the bills.

IrishSt0ner4365d ago

Wait so MP large scale FPS w/ vehicle warfare (BF4) is the same as closed map twitch shooting (COD), which are both the same as arena based (HALO)? The difference is as clear as day although w/ SP campaigns you do have a point.

I abandoned COD a long time ago for it's rinse/repeat, after the problem ridden BF3.5 I may well abandon that franchise. Halo is nostalgic, probably get boring again quickly. Titanfall is fun for about an hour. R6 Siege is the only thing on that list which interests me.

Whats the alternative though for the genre? Open world MMO FPS - Destiny...

dcj05244365d ago

The hell? How the hell is warframe like battlefield, battlefield like Destiny, COD like killzone or TITANFALL like halo. I want what you're smoking now. That's some strong stuff.

Can't wait to get my Rainbow Six fix, last good one I played was Vegas (didn't care for Vegas 2, did complete it though). There was a version of Rainbow Six I remember playing, it was good however it was out during the original Xbox days, and it was before Black however can't remember the name of it. I remember one of early stages was a snow level.

porkChop4365d ago

Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow?

Tetsujin4365d ago

I remember Black Arrow came out after this version, it might have been Raven Shield.

GodGinrai4365d ago

My clan was built on halo and rainbow six. Im glad to hear this game is shaping up well.

I loved R6:Vegas. I hope they bring back custom camos for when you hit elite rank. Great for creating a "clan camo".
