I think balancing will be a real issue in this game. It looks like it wont really be a game for randomers to jump in and enjoy.

shield guys are frustrating as hell. I really hope we are missing an operator that takes them down easily or have not realised a use of a power to counter them.


Biggest problem right now is the matchmaker is really f*cking broken. doesnt work half the time and the other half you can end up in games where there are 2 people on your team and 5 on the other.

But when it works


its still a lot of fun.

C4 the shield or lure him into a trap with someone taking him out from the side.

Thanks a bunch

Got the second activation code via email. Why they need a second activation? Beyond me.

Next up: choose your DRM... yay.

I thought I was happy when I saw steam listed but no, it's not really steam. It just makes you log into steam first before going through uplay again so I went with the uplay option.

Aaand the client is not supported on Linux. Welp. I thought of running the client in WINE but if the client doesn't even have compatibility then the chance of the game having it is slim to none.

GG Ubisoft.

I have one more pc one if anyone wants it.

No single player campaign.

This is a problem for me, I always played the campaign solo and in co-op. Then went on to Terrorist Hunts. I never bothered with PvP in R6, just didn't like it.

So if thats gone, whats left for me? Just Terrorist Hunt?
I won't buy this now, will wait for a sale.

Deffo. :pac:

I like this comment from someone on Polygon:

Yeah, but this is a game with Tom Clancy branding. You know, the name of a world-famous author. It should be kind of a given that it would have a story and something of a narrative to play through....

I have a spare ps4 code(UK) if anyone wants it

Love how the AI completely take the biscuit with C4, found 10 in one room before being blown to high hell! :pac:

It can be ****ing hilarious when a JIhadi John who happens to be wearing heavy infantry sets off in a room full of C4.

Terrorist- Terrorist
Terrorist- your ****ing entire team

Got my CD Key last night. Having played most of the Rainbow Six games to date, this one is much the same with alot of nice new bits of tech. Couple of things with the Beta.

1) I could only get a game when choosing Terrorist Hunt, you could be waiting 30 minutes to get a 5v5 game going, so there are problems with the match making process (they need to sort this before launch).
2) The resolution is very bad, now I know this is the Beta but the resolution is less than 720p I think.
3) Testures are very poor on weapons and character models, again I know this is the Beta so it may change for the launch but the game already looks dated texture wise.
4) Shields are to powerful, I ran around testing them for the craic and I must have taken hundreds of rounds before being killed.
5) Framerates are quite low in spots considering the poor resolution and textures. This being close to the release version of the game has me a little worried.
6) Killcam is very poor, I love the idea of it but at the moment it looks poor.
7) TTK is to high at the moment in my opinion, I remember the older games where you were hit in the chest etc, you were down and out.
8) Gun accuracy seems very low even when the enemy is 30 yards away. Often you need to empty a clip before the enemy is dead.
9) Few other small bugs that I am sure will be fixed before launch.

Overall, I really enjoyed it, it is slow paced, but that is the norm for Rainbow Six games, going to be very tactical playing 5v5 online and there is the chance of really good games if you can get a good squad of mates.

Something happend the servers last night because I was playing back to back PvP and then I couldn't get a game.

I switched to Terrorist Hunt and got a game instantly. I have to say I love that mode. It's really class. Only way to play it is on realistic difficulty setting.

Agreed,

This going to be a €39.99 game? I will not and cannot justify paying €59.99 for it. There is just not enough content to warrant paying full price. It is only launching with 11 maps I think.

EDIT: Just checked on steam and this is retailing at $59.99 US. Thats €53. Hmm, they are going to want €55 - €59. I want the game but cant pay that for it. Shame...

Same, I'll be either looking for it at a really great price at launch or I'll pick it up when it gets reduced.

Are you playing it on Xbox or PC? I am on the PC version.

I am on Xbox One mate. You?

No story? Ah, I'll leave it, so. The best thing about R6 games is that they had so much content for your money. The Vegas stories campaigns were great. Ubisoft are not a company I like. Stripping competitive map making in FarCry and now this. They can do what they want, of course, I'm just disappointed.

If PvP matching takes a dive I recommend trying Terrorist hunt which seems to work fine.

* quick tip, don't sit in a lobby waiting for ages. Quit matchmaking and restart search. I have found matches really quickly that way.

Would agree here. I got plenty of 5v5 matches last night, had alot of fun but something just does not feel right. I don't know if it is the delay in taking a gun up to aim or that moving feels really sluggish, and then I can't tell if the sluggishness is the frame rate being dropped.
