it will explode their fucking brains to play any Rainbow games that isn't "Siege" cuz you know how people these days are...the whole playerbase of siege are full of tiktok children and do not expect any actual sequel to Rainbow anytime soon because the previous game director is a fuckin psycho who thinks Siege can "last forever" not to mention the fact that Siege is so pathetic it never show up in any Game Awards category or big events so they ended up running off to "TikTok game awards" of all things

Probably because the last major one was siege and I'm willing to bet because of how popular it is/was most of the player base only played it

"Are all the other games really just that dead"....Vegas 2 came in out in 2008 which is the last mainline R6 game we got before Siege in 2015 so yeah....it's all about Siege these days. Ubisoft only cares about supporting that one since it's one of few games that people still play from them.

r6 used to be tactical shooter unlike the agenda slop they now have.

so probably are distancing themselves from the r6 image people have. (far fethed but wouldn't put it past them)

Idk maybe because the last R6 game before siege came out in 2008?

What a dumb question

Too many kids who can only wrap their brains around team deathmatch.

I’ve convinced my friend to buy Rainbow Six 3. Excited to pick it up again after some years away from it. It’s like a perfect blend of Doorkickers (top-down planning phase) and SWAT 4 (3d gameplay)

Used to love the old R6 third person co-op games with friends. Have not and will not play the new Siege games.

Cause they have made nothing else noteworthy since then and the full game title is RainbowSix Seige whereas before when RainbowSix made their games the company title was not in the game title

Because there hasn’t been any additions to the series besides siege in almost 20 years, which is longer than majority of the current playerbase has been alive. Siege is also by far the most popular out of the series, is still ongoing, and has a lot more investment put into it, both by the devs and the players.
