Rainbow Six: Siege - The Bear and Badger

Webbins

This is gathering my interest, old school gameplay, less twitch more tactics. Probably won't sell, but as small game types, it will only need a few from here to show an interest to get a full squad. Day one for me I reck.

37 minute video below, observe the awesome.

Coming through your door/window/wall, 2015.

HALLO!

FranticPea

Hooray!!

What I don't understand is why the peeps aren't stomping on those drone things. Or have they just not noticed?

Anyway, looks great. Really tense. The destruction looks brilliant.

Hopefully there's a terrorist hunt mode again too. I loved Vegas 2.

Webbins

It is noticeable, it gets shot in that vid and in the staged snippet at the end. Destruction looks fab, especially blowing holes in the upper floors, game changer.

Love me some strategic team shooters - WANT!

Nexx

Looks like a low budget version of Due Process

Paul the sparky

That looks mint too.

g.man

IN.

Bollockoff

This is now a Due Process thread.

djchump

I love how the characters fall to pieces when they die!

GooberTheHat

Im in for this.

Webbins

Release date now confirmed of 13.10.15 with a cinematic trailer. Fingers tightly crossed.

g.man

I remain hopeful, but I do have concerns about the small maps quickly becoming repetitive once strategies become locked down.

Webbins

Ain't no strategy gonna be locked down once I blast through the airing cupboard with a Mossberg pump.

g.man

I'll be right behind you with a bicycle pump.

Webbins

That's what worries me.

g.man

Don't worry, I have grenades too!

digi

If they take out the heartbeat monitor (fucking Wall hack) that the prominent you tubers who played the closed sessions etc have been complaining about then I'm in day one.

Currently loving rescue mode on bfh so this is more of the same with more tactics.
Right up my street.

GooberTheHat

Hit markers need to go to.

GooberTheHat

As do the silhouettes of your team mates when out of line of sight.

g.man

Yeah, a lot of the videos I've seen have had to many offensive gizmos. IMO having the ability to scope out the buildings with moving cameras prior to going in rather defeats the purpose of the game. As an attacker there needs to be an element of chaos and the unknown when you go in.
I can see it being a difficult balancing act.

Webbins

Hardcore mode? No gizmos, friendly fire, got to be in there.

GurtTractor

Hmm yeah as long as there's a 'hardcore' mode or a fully customisable online game setup then I can see me going next gen for this.

pantyfire

There's something not quite convincing me about this.
I fear it will be very samey. It would need a generous amount of maps at launch to combat this but I can't see that happening because, you know, DLC.
I dunno I'm just worried it might be a bit like Evolve or something, also I'm not too convinced by all the technology... Heart beat sensors WTF?

pantyfire

OK NOW IM SOLD
Terrorist Hunt is back!

regmcfly

Yeah this one is on my radar for PC for sure

Dark Soldier

I'm in the beta guys, will let you know if this is God awful.

"We will send you your acces to the email address" Good old Ubi.

Webbins

11 maps at launch, all DLC maps to be as free as a bird.

g.man

They keep offering me beta codes for this, but to get it you have to give UPlay access to your Xbox Live account.

fuck that

What was the RS game that started out in the dark, snowy level? I think that might have been OG XBOX? I loved that game. Or maybe it was just that level.

Webbins

There was a dark snowy level in Rogue Spear but that's going back further than Oldbox.

Howdy, Stranger!
