Game Review - Rainbow Six: Siege

Well shit guys, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'll admit it right away when that happens and it's happened here.
Gotta say, post patch? I'm impressed.

Here we go...

Rainbow Six: Siege is something else for a multiplayer only AAA game. Ubisoft has actually taken a mighty swing at CS:GO and the COD Communities with this one and here's how:
Co-Op Strategy. For once in our lives, a major dev company has said "enough is enough with the balls out one for all bullshit." They've developed a game where cooperative play and teamwork is crucial. If you don't have an open line of communication with the other four teammates, you have a very low chance of success with each match.
The matches can go quick or exceedingly slow. It depends on your teammates skill levels. You can upgrade like most multiplayer games but what's different here is that for each match you need to be able to decide what weapons and skills you will need to choose from. There's a character that is better at recon, one good at combat, one for explosives etc.
Five players go into a domicile and try to achieve a goal while five others try to infiltrate. The players inside can fortify their stronghold in three dimensions. Walls, floor or ceiling. The infiltrators can blow up said walls, floors or ceilings by planting charges and blowing through them.
There's a lot to this game but unfortunately no campaign for single player. I have to say I was a bit disappointed in that aspect but games seem to be going further and further towards excluding single player. That's fine if they want to do so, however I wish they'd charge a bit less than most AAA games when they do so. It doesn't make much sense asking more for less but as long as the market allows it, you can't blame them. Therefore I've got to reccomend not purchasing this one until a massive price drop comes in.

This game could seriously make a push towards the other "e-sports" community games like CS:Go and COD but it'll need a big push pretty soon to do so.

I'm going to score this at a solid 7. Pick it up on sale. Hopefully Ubisoft will keep some dedicated servers and not abandon this game a few months down the line.
