Rainbow Six: Siege is a first person team based shooter built for the ground up with tactics and strategy wrapped in an engine that provides completely destructible environments.
Siege originally launched with 20 original defense and offense operators (Classed characters with different special abilities and weapon load-outs). Since December 1st 2015, Siege has gradually added more operators over 2 seasons (Rainbow Six DLC for 2 years) and is currently on season 3.
Currently they have released 3 new offense and 3 new defensive operators this season.
The first operators of Season 3 are Lion and Finka. Lion sends out a drone that reveals defenders that move during its short duration. Finka gives herself and her teammates a boost of adrenaline that boosts their health, lowers weapon recoil, and revives down allies.
The second released operators include a heavily armored character with special cameras that can be mounted and used to attack named Maestro, and a light character with hologram projectiles named Alibi.
Operation Grim Sky launched on September 4th. With it, 2 new operators. A new Hard breacher named Maverick, who's tool can break any surface like Thermite, and a new shield defender named Clash
Operation Wind Bastion is live. With it comes 2 new operators. One Defense and one Attacker.

Nomad is an attacker that can shoot proximity mines that explode when you enter their range.

They have revealed the defender named Clash. She is a shield defender, much like the attacker Montagne, only she is armed with a shock type weapon.
Still going to main Echo on defence. Two Yokai is too good to give up
Oops. I totally misunderstood how the patch notes were laid out and my brain never did any critical thinking. Casual is all maps, ranked is a subset of those. Now I understand. Ranked here I come.
The trials of being silver 2.
First thing I'm going to do when it downloads is....run some TH with Buck. I understand the new recoil changes make C8 + Acog viable.
And his C8 is fucking lethal despite the recoil
I need my really big fucking holes.
Take that as you will
Maverick seems to be in a weird spot balance wise, because by tweaking a few values on his gadget he went from stupidly overpowered as far as gadget clearing utility to only sometimes really useful, but mostly just a good gun on fast legs. He can zap evil eyes real quick for basically no cost like he could do briefly to barbed wire, and I suspect they’ll change that. I’m mostly disappointed in just how easy it is to totally deny antibreach gadgets like batteries and jammers. You can cut a relatively safe hole in the bottom of a reinforcement, just one little guy, and deny the antibreach from that. I’m suspecting it’s going to shake out to make some sites not as viable to defend as they once were.
I did get a kill on a Mira holding the wall between Workshop and Ventilation on Border with a tiny maverick hole in the ceiling above her. We had taken Armory and wanted to plant Vents but they had put a window into it, so I real quietly burned out a hole above her head. Good times.
*edit* Got it, needed to redownload the patch.
Didn't wanna play anyways, I guess
Clash is hard to deal with
Lost both
Copper here I come
Clash is pretty crap on her own, but deadly if she has support. Everyone will be so focused on her, the defender backing her up can use her for cover or flank and get kills.
The steam page might be using and outdated chart, but that gets you only year 3 operators. If you want 1 and 2, you have to get the complete edition for 39.
Still a good deal, as the usual price for that is 130.
This is what Plat looks like isn't it?
I wish more of these online games would let you have fun by yourself if you want =/
But that's still a pretty huge ask.
And pings have been brutal for me to try and play with people overseas in this game.
They're adding a 'new to R6' playlist I think next week (it might actually be today, I can't check at work) just for people in your boat! It really, really helps to learn the maps so that playlist only has like 3 or 4 I think.
Awesome! I’ve seen a few videos but that’s not really the same thing.
Is this the newest R6:S thread? If so, I'm rezzing this because well, this is kind of a hard game to get into solo (not to mention the matchmaker, at least for newcomer matches, takes forever. Nothing like a ten minute matchmaker wait, dropping you into round four, and then half your team gets spawn sniped on the match point).
Is it just bad matchmaker luck, or is the community running low? Is there any sort of PA group that can help ease a newcomer into the dao of Siege? Like helping learn camera locations, although I guess the biggest lesson is patience.
That and knowing how to play the angles.
Quick Match is just fine, and what we play when I'm with people. I haven't touched ranked since I genuinely dont care, aren't good enough, and disinterested in high level siege.
