Rainbow Six
Siege is a tactical firing game that was published internationally in December
2015. It was designed and advertised by Ubisoft Entertainment. Influenced by
counter-terrorism movements around the world, Siege puts a great deal of
concern for environmental devastation and coordination between players.
What Is Rainbow Six
Siege?
Inspired by
the world set in the novels of American writer Tom Clancy, Rainbow Six Siege is
a first-person shooter (FPS) game, where the player sees through the eyes of
his character. The game offers the player the opportunity to play as a member
of special forces fighting terrorists or other elite soldiers led by other
players.
Although
the title includes a single-player adventure, most game modes feature online
battles against other opponents. Battles are fought in five-on-five contests.
The game is very realistic and encourages players to develop plans of attack or
defense, depending on which side they are on. Attackers and defenders clash in
realistic confrontations for which, in addition to good reflexes, a keen
tactical sense is necessary.
The player
keeps a realistic arsenal at his disposal: firearms, knives, explosives,
surveillance equipment, barbed wire, armored walls, etc. The player can develop
the best tactics to repel or attack. Cooperation between players is essential
to create the best strategies and thus hope to win over the opposing camp.
The Rainbow
Six Siege game is also accessible on the Esport scene. Many games and videos
are available online.
The Game System
Rainbow Six
Siege is a tactical shooting game in which the player acts as a different agent
from several special forces units and task forces that make up Team Rainbow.
Like the other titles in the series, it focuses strongly on team play and
reality in the interventions.
The game
system urges players to strengthen their position by reinforcing walls, placing
barbed wire to slow down their enemies, regularly watching cameras, deploying
mines and shelters, or, to break through enemy defenses, using inspection
drones or rappelling down.
A Game That Should
Be Reserved for Adults
Violence
A realistic
action game, Rainbow Six Siege, features violent clashes. This violence is
found in the staging and some of the dialogue sequences. Parents need to ensure
that their child is mature enough in this regard.
In-App
Purchases
Like many
other first-person shooters, Rainbow Six Siege offers multiple purchases to be
made in-game. It can be tempting to buy new pieces of equipment that are
otherwise purely cosmetic.
Each year,
the game offers an annual pass through which players can have access to new
characters (operators), new maps, etc.
The Multiplayer
Mode
While it's
possible to play alone, most of the game modes in Rainbow Six Siege consist of
online multiplayer games. For strategy reasons, it is advisable to be equipped
with a headset and exchange with the other connected players.
Since
exchanges between players can be aggressive, it's always best to play with
people you know in real life. Keep an eye and an ear out for exchanges if
minors are playing to moderate the talk and toxic behavior.
The Bottom Line
For most
professionals, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is an action and tactical game.
It allows players to engage as soldiers specializing in the release of
hostages. Teamwork is essential in this work, which offers completely
destructible settings. Rainbow Six Siege remains undeniably one of the best
competitive FPS released in recent years.
