After spending the past weekend breaking through walls, disarming bombs, fortifying positions, and wreaking general havoc in the game’s closed beta, one thing is for sure: Rainbow Six Siege is undoubtedly unique and a decidedly different take on a competitive shooter. As refreshing as that is however, it also left me very worried about just how successfully the new formula will manage in the wild when the game launches this December.
"Rainbow Six Siege Major Manchester event was a showcase of Siege play and underdog spirit - with a few boos, some boozy chanting and a sweaty atmosphere."

The new monthly paid subscription for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege has sparked an outrage among the game's community.
Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.
A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."
So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄
What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 2 Operation New Blood sees the Recruit rework, the introduction of R6 Membership and more.
I honestly feel like this game is definitely a breath of fresh air...
Looks like the answer to Counterstrike: Source that I've been waiting for!!
My sentiments summed up in the article to a tee. Plus I've been stuck playing with crap teammates too. I need more online r6 friends....
I actually enjoyed the little I played of R6 Seige BUT... for a full priced game I am not sold. Just like I liked what I played of Evolved but was not sold. I would be far more inclined to buy if it was $40. $60 with no single player game just at this time of the year is a no go for me. Far too many other games that offer the full package at the same price.
I will wait for a price drop.
Edit I will also say this game if priced better could seriously pull some COD players away but as it is... COD is the better package for the $$ which makes me sad.
This game is dead on arrival PERIOD!!! $60 my ass. And if people think any major changes are coming after the beta ask yourself this... Did it for destiny,evolve,Titanfall or any other multiplayer only game?
