There go another 1000 hours. \o/

 

[bitbydeath]

I'm interested if they can go back to the original vision.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Urgh, I was hoping it would be a return to something closer to Vegas or Raven Shield. I'm so sick of games that have specialists.

The follow-up to Siege was never gonna be that.

That said, they were messing around with a singleplayer Rainbow Six concept a few years ago in parallel to Siege 2, but who knows what might be the status of that -- for all we know, it might have been one of the several unannounced Ubi projects that were axed over the past 18 months.

Can't wait for the new operators

Xbox exclusive!?

I long for the days of 3rd person tactical shooters. I don't know why the entire industry builds every game in every genre in first person. Games like R6, SOCOM, and GRAW are sorely missed.

 

[R6Rider]

I put a lot of time into Siege before it became rampant with kb&m users on console.

I'm guessing this will be rampant from the start.

 

[CyberCali]

When a rumor turns into official news or if there's a new announcement, it's better to create a new thread instead of bumping an old one.

I've edited your OP and changed the title for this one, but keep this in mind for the future.

Games like R6, SOCOM, and GRAW are sorely missed.

With the exception of Socom, every single one of these were an FPS primarily.

The video looks exactly like the first game. No news burger.

Siege was such an interesting concept.
The gameplay is tight, the idea of specialization in the operators is good but then, Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they went full retarded/PC on the operators/art direction.

Still waiting for an Israeli operator and single player scenarios.

Lets hope that you can reuse at least some of the operators in the "new" game.

You must be too young to remember the OG R6 and Ghost Recon titles.

You must be too young to remember the OG R6 and Ghost Recon titles.

R6: Vegas 2 was the peak of R6 for me.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

R6: Vegas 2 was the peak of R6 for me.

Raven Shield and Black Arrow were more my jam back in the day, but Vegas was great fun. Those were the last RB6 games I actually enjoyed. We've been stuck with this shit for almost 10 years lol.

 

[Roufianos]

Make it 3rd person, then I'll be interested

 

[Darkkahn]

Xbox exclusive!?

Now that's a funny idea!

 

[salva]

Did I see a wall run in that teaser. Hahhahahaha
RIP R6.

 

[adamsapple]

R6: Vegas 2 was the peak of R6 for me.

The Vegas games were far better and more fun to play than the GRAW games, IMO.

 

[Gp1]

You must be too young to remember the OG R6 and Ghost Recon titles.

That said OG R6 and Ghost Recon were originally fps's
The numpad enter shit were afterthoughts.

ps. I ain't going through my moving boxes to photo UO. GR 1 + Island Thunder, R6 + Eagle Watch, etc.

ps2. Peak R6 was Raven Shield.
You can still play that game online if you know where to look, but Vegas was a good game too. Every now and then i still install both.

 

[yurinka]

Brazzers adaptation?

Oh man! I miss Rogue Spear and Raven Shield. I didn't enjoy Vegas back then because it was more a corridor shooter rather than "clear this giant museum with the Egyptian expo of terrorists" type of game

Rainbow Six Siege X Leak Reveals First Look at New Operation Prep Phase Update: New UI, Elite Skins, and Map Reworks

A new Rainbow Six Siege X leak has surfaced ahead of Ubisoft’s big reveal, showing an early look at the next season’s update.

thegamepost.com

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

ps2. Peak R6 was Raven Shield.

raven shield is the only good "modern" r6 IMO (and only the PC version; xbox had gameplay changes that made it much more casual).
recall having 1st person gun models was a bit controversial, considering the game's heritage and emphasis on precision (the issue being gun models obstruct your view).

original r6 and ghost recon games were peak r6 for me.
perma-death, working as a team to cover flanks and coordinate assaults, stance/movement having a massive effect on accuracy, having to wait for the reticle to settle, etc.

 

[Brigandier]

RS3 on OG Xbox live was so damn good.... Even if the hit detection was terrible it was still so much fun.

I don't like the modern Rainbow it just isn't for me.

 

[Kvally]

go back to the original vision.

a return to something closer to Vegas or Raven Shield.

Raven Shield and Black Arrow

You guys know your shit. Rainbow Six 3. Oh and I had thousand+ hours in Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike. Black Arrow had me playing for HOURS every single day.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Urgh, I was hoping it would be a return to something closer to Vegas or Raven Shield. I'm so sick of games that have specialists.

I'll never understand the mindset of the current rainbow six game, it seems like a political move to not include a campaign, coop, and terrorist hunt.

 

[{insert code here}]

Can't wait for the new operators

 

[Brigandier]

You guys know your shit. Rainbow Six 3. Oh and I had thousand+ hours in Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike. Black Arrow had me playing for HOURS every single day.

Black Arrow was superb, I spent hours upon hours playing RS3 and BA I also played Ghost Recon and Island Thunder loads too.

Back when Ubi were actually good!!!

 

[Thicc Enigma]

1 more day

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Stafford]

Siege never did it for me. Bring back the Vegas type of games, because they sure as hell won't ever go back to the original R6 games such as Rogue Spear and Raven Shield, unfortunately.

Give me a dope campaign playable in co-op(the one in Siege just isn't it) and I'm happy. This versus stuff.....naw.

 

[Luipadre]

Looks the same lol

I expected a big visual jump. It still looks like a game from 10 years ago

 

[Piggoro]

I was hoping til the end that they'll introduce some kind of client-side "turn off cosmetics toggle" for people who want more authentic aesthetics in the game. And then I finally could return to the game. But alas.
