Rainbow Six Siege Gameplay
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a first-person shooter game where players become different operators from the Rainbow team, each with their own unique nationalities, weapons, and gadgets. The game's twist is that teams don't always have equal abilities, and you can pick from Counter-Terrorism Units like the American Hostage Rescue Team, British SAS, German GSG-9, Russian Spetsnaz, and French GIGN.
Before a round starts, you choose your operator, spawn point, and weapon setup, but once the round begins, you're locked in. You earn in-game currency called "Renown" to unlock more operators and cool cosmetic stuff, or you can use real money for "R6 credits" to speed things up. In matches, attackers and defenders prep for the battle, with attackers using drones to scout and defenders trying to hide their plans. Maps are designed for close-quarters action, and once you're out, you're out for the round, but you can still help with cameras. Matches are timed, encouraging teamwork and communication.
Rainbow Six Siege shines in its environmental destruction – you can blow things up, shoot through walls, and change the battleground. There's a tactical focus on breaching and fortifying structures, and various traps add complexity. Vertical gameplay and destruction are big, and limited-use items like grenades keep things interesting. It's a game where working together and thinking creatively are keys to success, and it's a lot of fun if you're into intense, strategic shooter experiences.
Gameplay Review
Rainbow Six Siege received a generally positive response from game critics. They really liked the intense multiplayer action and the heavy emphasis on tactical gameplay. However, there were some criticisms too. People weren't too happy with the way the progression system worked, and some felt there wasn't enough content when the game first came out.
At the beginning, the game didn't sell all that well, but things changed when Ubisoft decided to treat it as a "games as a service" title. They started adding lots of free downloadable content, which got players excited and boosted the player base. As time went on, thanks to these updates, many critics began to see Siege as one of the top multiplayer games around. Ubisoft even partnered with ESL to turn Siege into an esports sensation. By December 2020, the game had more than 70 million registered players across all platforms. And just to add some extra fun, they released Rainbow Six Extraction in January 2022, a spin-off game featuring characters from Siege.
