• 00:00 - 00:30 all average Rainbow Six Gamers peek peek peek crouch crouch peek peek lean spam it's an airsoft ladies and gentlemen gun safety very important on the channel okay so yeah just uh just uh just no no violating the to oh boy ladies and gentlemen you know Rainbow 6 is just one of those games that I absolutely love and I've playing this game for quite a long time I would say that I was recording troll pastas and creepy pastas and I've definitely used
• 00:30 - 01:00 Rainbow 6 gameplay in some of those videos when I never really had a game to to to Really put up and Rainbow 6 is just one of those things that you know it has a special place in my heart when I was a kid and I watched some of my cousins play the original Rainbow Six games on the PC I was like whoa this team's cool they're uh they're getting into some gunfights I played it for myself and I hated it when I was a kid I was like well I got to sit here and plan everything out this doesn't make any sense and of course I cram to actually love it it's one of the reasons why I enjoy games like Swat 4 ready or not
• 01:00 - 01:30 because I just love that tactical police style gameplay and of course as I got older games like Rainbow 6 Vegas started getting out and we love playing games like that on the old Xbox Live and of course Rainbow Six Siege ends up showcasing now for anybody that doesn't know Rainbow Six Siege is a five on five competitive uh game and basically the idea of it is a tactical shooter where five people are attacking and five people are defending on various sites the game has multiple operators each with every single unique ability
• 01:30 - 02:00 alongside different Firearms they each bring something unique to the table and it's these operators that have their abilities which synergize with each other and are utilized to attack and defend properly one of the best things about Rainbow 6 is even 10 years ago one of the reasons why I have thousands of hours in this game and I've been playing it for about a decade is that every single match feels fresh and Alive Rainbow 6 is one of the best life service games that you could ever actually have played and I remember when
• 02:00 - 02:30 this game first launched I didn't even think it was going to survive 2 years of his lifespan it dropped for $60 it wasn't that graded launch in terms of its technical performance and its matchmaking it had issues now Ubisoft at the time bunkered down and absolutely put together an amazing dream team of developers that kept this game functioning for apparently 10 years now now I don't know if Ubisoft is going to be around in the next year or something with their current state but I really hope that they do not screw up Rainbow Six Siege X which which recently did get
• 02:30 - 03:00 some level of showcase like it got streamed today I even streamed a little bit earlier and that's why I'm putting together this video because I really wanted to I'm passionate about my Rainbow 6 I don't want this to be ruined I've made friends on this I have played it for years I am absolutely in love with it but to go back to Rainbow Six Siege is gameplay for anybody that doesn't know it's a fiveon five tactical game we each got abilities each operator has something new to the table and generally speaking the reason why it excites me is every match again feels fresh and Lively meaning that every time
• 03:00 - 03:30 you play this game every time you jump into a match you'll come across some new strategy some new tip that somebody has played with every ranked match is different it's a game that instead of having grandiose large Maps you have a [ __ ] ton of destructibility everywhere roofs can open up walls can be breached into people in the last 30 seconds of every round [ __ ] all hell breaks loose and that's the kind of pulse pounding heart throbbing dick pumping action that I actually enjoy from this franchise for
• 03:30 - 04:00 instance I M Montaine among some other operators Montaine is a shield operator that has a full shield walks into sight and becomes an intimidating Force alongside my friends who join me into the actual action I serve as a distraction I can break my shield down and absolutely blow people's brains out I become that guy who enters for the team as the ultimate support operator and of course there are other operators like thermite for instance that breach into entire walls and basically change and open up new choke points it is a lot to process when you first play the game
• 04:00 - 04:30 I think to understand how Rainbow 6 works I can just kind of walk you through the actual process of playing just one round in this game so in this clip as Defender I'm playing the operator Castle who has a bulletproof barricade that they can put up around four points in the map I've also got a shotgun that I can whip out and with this shotgun you can see me manipulating the entire site opening up new choke points new choke holes and basically modifying this point so that me and my teammates can defend it the the way that
• 04:30 - 05:00 we want to defend it and of course I put up these bulletproof barricades so that somebody can't just punch their way in they require a special ability or a breaching charge effectively using it as a way to slow down the other operators and serve as some better overall defenses so this is just one operator with one set of abilities this game has multiple operators on attackers and Defenders so every single game that you really play will feel unique and fresh in fact every time Rainbow 6 introduces a new character it really changes the
• 05:00 - 05:30 way the meta is handled it's actually a bit of a celebration one of the things that I liked about Rainbow 6 and why I consider it to be the best life service shooter is year one when I remember playing this they would introduce new uh entire operations with their whole like it would be like Fanfare like you would have trailers you would have two new operators you would have a map updated into the game and of course Rainbow Six was adding these characters and every time you add a character into Rainbow Six it's kind of like adding a character into like a fighting game there's a balance that's required
• 05:30 - 06:00 uh some of these operators come with fresh brand new abilities some of them come with the same abilities but tweaked around so that you can use them in Synergy or it reduces the Reliance of one character from being used way too much all of these things end up with a team figuring out the best way to attack or defend one of the best parts about this game is that it carries that Spirit of Rainbow Six from the first game all the way into the modern era you're actually planning how you infiltrate sites you're actually dynamically modifying your [ __ ] on the fly working
• 06:00 - 06:30 with your teams the comms be getting sweaty the gunfights be getting sweaty the plays be getting sweaty this game has me sweating just thinking about playing it it's that good of an entire game and if you're somebody that's actually not even into Shooters I would still recommend Rainbow Six Siege it is a thinking man's game there is enough brain power required here where it's not just playing Call of Duty it's not just about who's the best person with the gun sometimes all it can take is one great Shield operator to ruin one attacking
• 06:30 - 07:00 person's time for instance in this clip right here I'm playing an operator called Clash on Defender Clash has a electrifying Shield I switch off to a gun kill one person and now that it's a 1V one I can whip out a shield and delay this person long enough so that they can't plant a bomb and win the round for their team this is of course a level of serious gameplay this is when it gets pulse pounding fun people are on the edge of their seats [ __ ] ready and excited to see that wind screen and
• 07:00 - 07:30 that's the level of action that I love I love playing any character where I work together with my teammates open up entire new Pathways and work with them into the most intense gunfights into the most intense action anybody can imagine that is why Rainbow Six Siege is [ __ ] impressive and that's why I personally think it's been aivee for 10 years and there hasn't been a game like it now Rainbow Six Siege X got revealed and the thing with Rainbow Six Siege X is there's a couple new features into the game and I guess I kind of want to
• 07:30 - 08:00 showcase what's been going on so for instance a couple hours ago there was a stream where they showcased every single thing involved in here and one of the big new things was a new game mode called dual front which basically is a 6v6 mode it's kind of taking away that attacker Defender thing that we had expected from Rainbow Six the whole time and has is basically mixing those roles in between each other so there's a lot of dynamic objectives like defending sites uh Gathering uh hostages saving hostages that you're doing on the Fly and it's with all of these changes in
• 08:00 - 08:30 the game with all of these entire like mods that they're introducing an entire new game type now I've seen some of this being streamed and I'll be honest dog I wasn't that impressed like let me give you an idea of it okay this is cool but the kind of streamers they brought on to Showcase it weren't that impressive and they weren't that impressive because no disrespect to them I feel like a lot of those people streaming the game were just not Siege players and some of them weren't and that's okay they kind of played the game a lot like Call of Beauty so those destructible walls that
• 08:30 - 09:00 sight manipulation that I was talking about earlier just didn't happen in the Stream and so it made the entire game kind of look like a Call of Duty uh clone instead of that tactical uh counter heavy like game that we're basically knowing and loving for the last decade so that was one key issue but alongside all of it there was supposed to be new environmental destruction into the game which is obviously a key focal point of the game there are new uh there are new like traps that are pre place like you get
• 09:00 - 09:30 fire extinguishers that basically become giant smoke clouds gas pipes that [ __ ] destroy the enemy right there uh you know as they walk near it so you've got new pre-placed traps you've got new destructibility so and amongst all of it you can now run and corner while you're repelling which is supposed to be super duper cool and interesting now I looked at the actual graphical changes for this and this is where it's kind of a joke so this is what the game looks like right now on a map known as Bank in the lobby and this is what it looks like after now I'll be real it looks brighter some of
• 09:30 - 10:00 the stuff looks shinier but generally speaking this is a pretty unimpressive graphical overhaul and it's not something that I'm definitely going to be writing home about this is what the game looks like before okay on a map known as Clubhouse and of course after yeah lighting is a little bit maybe grittier uh definitely the actual materials look a little bit more realistic in terms of how they reflect light and whatnot but I don't think it's the craziest visual overhaul there are so many moments where I'm looking at this and I don't know if this is the new
• 10:00 - 10:30 graphics or the old Graphics like it's just not impressive okay it is what it is but honestly Graphics were not the reason that I was super excited about this one of the big changes they did ladies and gentlemen was of course the audio overhaul now audio is such an important thing in a game like Rainbow Six Siege hearing somebody walk around you above you below you Outside Inside It's that kind of attention to detail you need to make sure you know where somebody about in a game where one
• 10:30 - 11:00 bullet to the head is all it takes for you to see Allah's domain you literally need that sound to work properly and the thing is with Rainbow Six Siege as long as they had that audio overhaul that's literally the only update I think anybody needed as long as they fixed one of the biggest complaints of like the last few years regarding Rainbow 6 that's really all I think anybody really cared about I don't care so much about the new weapon inspect animation like I'm not that much of a [ __ ] like showoff with my skins doesn't really matter there's some cool like camos for
• 11:00 - 11:30 people that have been playing the game since the first year which I think is interesting and cool and based but uh ultimately speaking the game seems like it's just being modernized and updated for the next 10 years I don't know if Siege is going to make it to the big 2 but this is genuinely a pretty interesting reveal that I saw and as a gamer as somebody playing rainbow the biggest question you might ask me muda does this support Linux absolutely not it does not do that now looking at the
• 11:30 - 12:00 new graphical overhaul I even loaded up original Rainbow 6 on my PlayStation 4 with the disc build and uh it was kind of a Vibe back then dude the game had a lot more destructible foliage Environ like it had a lot of interesting visual choices but you can see how a game released back then with the original lighting where looking inside and outside is nearly impossible that had to be changed so the game could be supported from a competitive stance so honest L the visual overhaul there's
• 12:00 - 12:30 only really so much anybody can do but uh yeah Rainbow Six Siege X I think absolutely looks pretty goddamn amazing and uh if I dare say this might be the one W that Ubisoft may have on their hands okay and I really do think this company needs a w I don't think they'll be around forever but ultimately speaking it's not bad there is one more thing they did make the game free to play so uh just be ready for the hackers to come on in but um
• 12:30 - 13:00 when has that ever been a problem for SI right if you like what you saw please like comment and subscribe dislike if you dislike it I am out
