GameFragger's Full Rainbow Six Siege Review Has Its High Ups and Low Downs.
Rainbow Six Siege Can be a very very fun game to play, but what is holding the game up from being the next Counter Strike! Hit the jump and see our full review.
Don't get us wrong Rainbow Six is very fun to play because there is a lot of randomness inside the game, but there a few hang ups that is keeping this game from being solid.
The weapon customization is very limited in the game. In Rainbow Six Siege there are defender and attacker operators that players can select from. Each has two primary and two secondary weapons. There is also a limited selection of upgrades that can be applied to almost every weapon. There are unique skills for each individual operator which gives Siege some diversity.If there is a weapon a player likes, however, and their operator gets taken, they're out of luck on using that weapon on another operator. That part of the game gets kind of frustrating, but it is manageable.
Getting booted has been the name of the game when the Gamefragger group gets together. Out of the Seven games played one Friday night there was only one game where someone didn't get booted. Would it kill Ubisoft to allow a player that has been kicked to rejoin the game? Probably... Hearing all your friends shooting and killing stuff from the menu screen isn't something that is very fun.
There is a patch expected soon that supposedly will help with some of these issues, but this kind of stuff should be fixed in the BETA phase of games. There are other things that are a bit frustrating and fixes coming for them, so no need to complain about some of these. Here is a Q&A that highlights some of the features and fixes that are coming to Rainbow Six Siege.
Now on to the epic shiz that makes this game awesome. There is so much randomness in a fixed environment. This is a game of experimentation. The goal of the game is to outsmart the opponent with the operators variety of skills. In the game there are bombs, barricades, and a variety of other objects that players can use to their advantage. Knowing every detail in the map comes is very useful skill. No wall, ceiling, or door barricade is safe from being blown to crap. The istelf in a group of people is a huge advantage. It gives the advantage of communicating with teammates. In most cases playing by yourself is a detriment to your team. Being in a party lets the team be super organized and other players can help you out.
My favorite part is defending. It is almost like playing tower defense for the first time. Waiting for the enemy to breach the first wall or door and then blowing them away is awesome. It is also kind of thrilling when you are the last on your team and you manage to take out two to three guys for the win. We saw a guy kill the entire other team on a 1 v 5.
The terrorist hunt is also a fun way to wind down after getting extremely frustrated in multiplayer. At least, that is my experience. You either have to fight waves of terrorists or hunt them all down. It is that simple! Turn up the difficulty for one wild ride.
Overall most of the games annoying bugs and glitches are going to be taken care of. Hopefully they'll make customizing operators a little more fun and less dull. Overall the game-play is exhilarating enough to make up for it. The game is simple and complicated at the same time, which is why it makes it so fun. Playing with friends is definitely the way to go.
