Rainbow Six: Siege wowed the audience and the world over when it was shown at the Ubisoft E3 2014 briefing and we’ve got more details and a frankly outstanding trailer.
Rainbow Six: Siege is coming to Xbox One in 2015 and from first looks, it’s one hell of a return for the Tom Clancy series. Throwing gamers in to the world of counter terrorist operatives and giving them the chance to master the art of destruction and close combat tactics, Siege will be bringing some majorly explosive action and great team matchups to the next gen.
The main features of Rainbow Six: Siege (other than a super awesome trailer) are:
COUNTER TERRORIST UNITS
Counter terrorist operatives are trained to handle extreme situations, such as hostage rescue, with surgical precision. As “short range” specialists, their training is concentrated on indoor environments. Operating in tight formations, they are experts of close quarter combat, demolition, and coordinated assaults.
THE SIEGE GAMEPLAY
For the first time in Rainbow Six, players will engage in sieges, a brand-new style of assault. Enemies now have the means to transform their environments into strongholds: they can trap, fortify, and create defensive systems to prevent breach by Rainbow teams.
To face this challenge, players have a level of freedom unrivaled by any previous Rainbow Six game. Combining tactical maps, observation drones, and a new rappel system, Rainbow teams have more options than ever before to plan, attack, and diffuse these situations.
PROCEDURAL DESTRUCTION
Destruction is at the heart of the siege gameplay. Leveraging Ubisoft Montreal’s proprietary Realblast engine, players now have the unprecedented ability to destroy environments. Walls can be shattered, opening new lines of fire, and ceiling and floors can be breached, creating new access points. Everything in the environment reacts realistically, dynamically, and uniquely based on the size and caliber of bullets you are using or the amount of explosives you have set. In Rainbow Six Siege, destruction is meaningful and mastering it is often the key to victory.
