Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical first-person shooter that is part of the Rainbow Six computer game series . The game was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft . The game was first announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2014 in Los Angeles and was released for Windows , Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in December 2015 . With the announcement of "Siege" Rainbow 6: Patriots , which was originally supposed to appear as a successor to Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 , was canceled . With Rainbow Six Siege , the computer game series is realigned by focusing on the multiplayer mode; there is no campaign, only so-called “situations” and “terrorist hunts”, which are supposed to represent single player training sessions.

action

The Rainbow Special Forces is being re-launched after years of inactivity amid rising terrorist attacks around the world. The new leader of the special unit, called Six, is played and set to music by Angela Bassett . The special forces are fighting a terrorist group called the "White Mask", which pursues unknown goals but causes chaos worldwide through terrorist attacks. It comprises eleven missions, which have a total playing time of about one hour. To unlock the last, secret mission, which is the only mission to be played in co-op, the player must complete all previous missions with the maximum number of stars. Because the game was designed with a focus on the multiplayer mode, the single player mode is very short compared to the previous titles in the Rainbow Six series.

Gameplay

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a first-person tactical shooter in which the player takes on the role of an operator of the anti-terrorist unit. The anti-terror units are thrown together from special units from all over the world, currently represented are the German GSG 9 , the Russian Speznas , the French GIGN , the British Special Air Service (SAS), the American FBI and the American Secret Service , the Canadian Joint Task Force 2 (JTF2), the US Navy SEALs , the Brazilian BOPE , the Japanese Special Assault Team (SAT), the Spanish GEO , the Polish GROM , the SDU from Hong Kong, the South Korean 707th Special Mission Battalion (707.smb. ), the Italian GIS , the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces , the Australian Special Air Service Regiment and the Danish Jægerkorpset . Each Operator has a special ability that makes them unique in the Rainbow Six: Siege universe . All operators must first be earned with the in-game currency "Renown" (reputation), which is obtained through multiplayer rounds, playing missions or watching tutorials. For newcomers, there are also “recruits” who, although they have no special skills, can choose all weapons and gadgets.

In the multiplayer mode there are three game modes, the «casual» matches, in which everyone can play, the «With rank» mode, for which the player must have reached at least level 50 and have activated 2-factor authentication from Ubisoft and for new players there is the "newbie" game mode, which is only playable for players under level 50.

At the beginning of a round, the players have to select an operator they have earned and specify their gadgets and weapons. In addition, it can be agreed where the operators want to start at the beginning. Then the 5v5 teams get into the game. The defenders must prepare everything in the preparation phase to prevent the attackers from getting to the target. To do this, they can strengthen walls and trap doors, barricade windows and doors and use their gadgets (such as barbed wire, booby traps and signs). The target can either be a hostage who must be brought to safety by the attackers, the securing of a biohazardous goods container or the defusing of one of two bombs . During this time, the attackers can penetrate the building with small drone vehicles, search for the target and uncover the identity of enemy operators.

The difference to other multiplayer shooters is that the players cannot re-enter the match within a round. This should mean that the approach is much more tactical and each action must be carefully considered. The rounds often only last a few minutes, they can last a maximum of four minutes (excluding 45 seconds preparation phase) and in ranked mode even only three minutes.

The special thing about Rainbow Six Siege is the possibility of destroying walls, ceilings or floors. This is also the center of the gaming experience. Many walls can be blown open, broken open or shot open. In addition, trap doors offer a tactical entry through the ceiling into a target area. The attackers can rappel down from roofs and thus penetrate the building through broken windows. However, the defenders can use reinforcements to reinforce the walls, windows and trap doors so that only a few can break them open. Reinforced walls, doors and windows can slow down attackers significantly, because time is an important factor in Siege . But reinforcements can also be blown up with special skills. Only two operators (Hibana, Thermite) have these special abilities at the moment. The defenders can also set up gadgets that can slow down, injure, or even kill the attackers, such as portable shields, barbed wire, booby traps or bear traps.

The game also includes a cooperative game mode called Terrorist Hunt. In this, up to five players can storm a building together, similar to the multiplayer, with the difference that the terrorist hunt is played against computer-controlled opponents (bots).

Maverick's ability is a welding torch that burns so-called "murder holes" into reinforced walls, making him the third hard breacher in the Rainbow team. Clash has a shield that she can deploy.

reception

Reviews

Rainbow Six Siege was expected with positive feedback at the first announcement at E3 2014. After the scope became known on the release date, Ubisoft was criticized for the relatively low content for a full price of 60 euros. However, it was previously announced that Ubisoft Montreal has provided a large team of developers who will continue to work on the game after the release and will bring out four major updates with new special forces and new maps over a period of one year.

Player Numbers

Within the first year, the game won around 10 million players. Since then, the number of players has increased steadily as Ubisoft regularly provides the game with updates and new content. In August 2017 it was announced that the title had been played by 20 million players and approximately 2.3 million players play it daily. Exactly two years after the release, the 25 million mark was broken. The 40 million player mark was last broken in October 2018. In September 2019, Ubisoft announced that the 50 million player mark had been broken.
