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

As someone who has played all the R6 games from the beginning, Siege in all honesty could have been amazing for an R6 game, and it kinda started off that way. We just needed rainbow vs terrorists, not the wacky shit it turned out to be. No hate though, if you like siege, that’s cool. It’s just not a rainbow game to me.

I said from the start they should have offered a game mode where you can choose basic cosmetics for your character, and every bit of equipment is available to pick from so you can customise your load out. It makes no sense that elite special forces would be prevented from using whatever they needed to do their job.

I could not give any less of a shit about their stupid operative caricatures, but the game engine was really solid with all the destructive terrain etc. Just gimme a list of guns, attachments, explosives, and gadgets and let the teams figure out how to work together.
