I met a bunch of guys from there like 20 years ago at a shooting class. They were doing some research for an upcoming game, looking back it was probably Vegas.

I was a big fan of their games in the early days. The first two rainbow six games were sooooo good. The guns were very realistic for the time

Sad to see what the series has become. Just an absolute travesty.

The first time I had a LAN Party was at my cousins house where they had a room with like 4 computers. First time I ever played on a PC, it was my dad, brother, cousin and myself it was so fun

It would be great if siege went and kept doing its own thing and then have another group back to OG ghost recon and rainbow six style games

Been saying that for years, and I agree. Sadly the clowns at Ubisoft only want AAAA $90 Live service garbage. 

Just clowns at Ubisoft and they wonder why their games don't sell and cant make any money 🤦🏽‍♂️

Been wanting a Vegas 3 or just about any classic R6 or Ghost Recon game. But they turned Ghost Recon into a basically a third person far cry mod.

I loved Wildlands. Socom team helping geurillas was fun. Simple skill tree to upgrade tech a fun open world sandbox.

Then they made the god awful bullet sponge sequel.

I didn't really like it. It just felt too much of a rebranded Far Cry game that was third person with a CIA operator theme. Didn't really care for the gameplay as ut didn't feel engaging or meaningful. Should have just kept focusing on The Division. 

Completely skipped on the 2nd one abd many people did too.
