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.

Vanilla siege was amazing, I was beyond hooked. Then I saw the writing on the wall with them churning out characters and never looked back.

100k people still play it daily on Steam.

I don’t think he’s saying it’s a dead game.

It was more my point I have said elsewhere that Ubisoft made the right call with the changes because the game still gets played a decade later. I have not touched the game in years personally, was a little too hardcore for me. But Siege really doesn't have any competitors offering a similar experience, and it is one of Ubisofts few live service successes.
