So we're finally here! After the mess that was Patriots and the decline it took with Vegas 2, Rainbow is dead
However, Siege is upon us, It's by no means a 'Rainbow' game but whatever it is, it's brilliant. I say it's not a Rainbow game because it just isn't, The sprint button, the removal of cover mechanics and so forth, but don't be hasty, whatever they've made is brilliant.
So I have the beta, on the horrible infamous Uplay of course.
This is the middle ground between Call of Duty and Battlefield, don't run just yet because that middle ground has found a pretty solid FPS experience. It's the tacical elements of Counter Strike, it's the pace of CoD if you want it, It's the destruction of Battlefield, Blow a hole in the wall and blow a terrorists head off with a double tap? why not.
Rappel down a house, plant a breach on a window and blow it as you dive in with an SA-80, yep.
Realism aspect? Get shot in the head, dead, get shot somewhere important, dead again, get caught by a frag, dead. There's no sponging bullets or miraculously surviving explosions here, you make a wrong move and you're dead.
Beta game modes: Standard Team death match - Self Explanatory
Terrorist Hunt - Not to be confused with the old Rainbow game mode.
This is an incredibly fun co-op mode. A set number of terrorists are placed within a compound, I.E a Mansion, Embassy or an SAS training kill house (Beta Maps)
The compounds are secured with planks, windows, steel shutters. Your job as a 5 man team is to breach the compound and neutralize the terrorists using deadly force. (Literally a special forces raid) when they say Rainbow Six@ Siege, they literally mean Siege.
You'll encounter armed terrorists in the house, they've rigged rooms with C4 and Nitro cells that need disarmed before you proceed, if you fail to spot them and disarm them, you're dead.
There'll be suicide bombers inside that need to be Neutralized, they will charge you upon site, if you hit his vest, he will explode and you will die. A clean head shot or slightly below is needed.

Ubisoft tend to get a lot of stick lately but this game has been their least hyped and looks like their best in a long time.
A CoD killer has finally arrived.
