Siege is all about attacking and defending, and in each match two teams take on the role of law enforcement and terrorists, with defenders having to hold their ground, and the attackers needing to achieve mission objectives by storming a location. Even the game’s advertised single-player option, Terrorist Hunt needs an active Internet connection. Aside from a few simple tutorial missions that are always the same with no enemy variation, this in an online-only game. If you’re a Rainbow Six fan who wants more of the same tactical missions as previous games, walk away now. Siege still places tactical play at the forefront of the game, but this is a very different Rainbow 6, one that long-time fans will be divided over. Some eight years later we have Rainbow Six: Siege, the end result of a lot of delays and changes, as the previous game, Patriots, was scrapped.

It became more action-focused, but still retained the slower-paced tactical approach, with the last game, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 arriving in 2008 (not counting 2011’s portable game, Shadow Vanguard). Over the years, the game saw several expansions and sequels, with the move to console eventually ditching the pre-mission tactical planning section.
The original games hit their peak with the excellent Rogue Spear, which I and many hardcore fans still consider the best in the series.

It featured a full pre-mission planning section where you meticulously planned your attack, and directed your AI team. At a time when the FPS was little more than a mindless shooter, Rainbow Six introduced slow-paced, methodical and highly tactical play where a single bullet could kill, and failure waited around every corner should you become complacent and let your guard down.

Way back in 1998, the series first appeared on PC and was hailed as a unique and promising title by fans. So some shooter conventions just don’t work for this game.Before Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division, Tom Clancy’s gaming presence began with Rainbow 6. We didn’t foresee that, but once we saw it we removed it.
But we have so many destructible surfaces in the game that people would see a red marker and just start peppering the walls with gunfire until they killed the target. The marker is good for registration, it helps you understand the game. We didn’t give too much thought to it initially. We added it because it was a convention in shooters. When you hit someone you’d see a red marker. Speaking of evolution, were there any elements of the game that were removed during the beta because of how they affected play?Ī good example, which came from watching the community in the closed alpha, is hit markers. It’s interesting to us to see what players do with destruction and how gameplay evolves.
In the beta we saw players destroying only parts of walls to get line of sight into a room. I noticed while playing that it was almost impossible to find truly safe spots, because the floor or walls or ceiling around me could all be destroyed.Įxactly. Environment destruction is a key pillar in the game. Even from the perspective of design, to have something readable and playable, that made sense to the player. It was a big technical challenge, I won’t lie. Something procedural, something systemic. We wanted to provide the next step in destruction in next-gen games. If you look at real-life counter-terrorism units they’ll break through doors with shotguns. Not just because it’s fun to destroy stuff, but also because it’s core to Rainbow’s close quarters combat. Since the beginning destruction was something we really wanted to do well. It feels like players can breach almost any solid surface with the right tools. One of the biggest differences in online games today compared to games past is in how modern technology allows for the creation of destructible environments, which I’ve noticed play a very big role in Siege. We want the community to tell us which tools they want to have, and if there’s an overwhelming desire for something we’ll create it. We really want to have that communication with them. We want the community to tell us exactly what they want. Maybe in post-launch we’ll offer some tools. Have you thought about offering map tools for serious strategists in something like an iPad app?
