Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - Siege

[btimbit]

For just starting I'd go with Rook, Sledge, Jager and Twitch. These characters all have skills that aren't essential but can still help the team quite a bit while you learn to play.

Tip of the day for new players: For the love of God, don't barricade between two objectives when you're the defending team. You're just blocking off access for your team to be able to defend. You want to be mobile

Castle players, I'm mostly looking at you

[cDnStealth]

For someone starting out I'd suggest Twitch, Sledge and Thatcher. For defenders you could go with Castle, Smoke and Rook. Just remember, if a Castle throws up a barricade and locks you in (or out) of a room you can tear it down and it will go back into his inventory.

Once you get the hang of the game and understand the map layouts you definitely want to pick up Thermite and Mute.

I have thermite, thatcher IQ and twitch as attackers and mute, castle, rook, and kapkan as defenders.

Played a couple rounds online for the first time. I am not good.

A lot of guys aren't - so just have fun.

The best thing to do while learning is just not rush off on your own and die - guys otherwise will appreciate the effort of someone trying to work as a team.

Yeah the nice thing about Siege as that when you are green, you can follow your team (or stay at the objective) and give yourselves a way bigger chance of winning.

Once you know the maps well and want to have split ingress or to lurk somewhere, you can make it off on your own.

Classes like Pulse are top level lurkers, so don't bother until the maps are like 80% in your head.

Is this game worth getting for PC?

I'm a complete fanboy of the game but I would say absolutely yes.

Yeah I wish I got the pc version over the ps4 version. I still might

[PsYcNeT]

Still playing the crap out of this game (once I got a driver bug fixed which kept crashing me out).

Preview of the Black Ice (Canadian Ops) pack (which has been delayed til Feb )

One new map is on a yacht!

I am really having fun with this game. Ended up on a couple good teams last night and it was great.

[White Out 403]

the game is a lot of fun. lots of fun.

I am also still kicking around. Had some great matches on the weekend.

In other news, here are a few screenshots of the two Canadian operators coming out in a couple weeks:

Spoiler!

Buck's kit looks like something right up my alley. I am interested to see how Frost's bear trap thing will work.

[PsYcNeT]

I love defensive ops, Frost looks fun. Wonder how visible the trap will be.

[Hockeyguy15]

Anyone know how much this will be without season pass?

[White Out 403]

Each operator will be 25k renown or some money.I forget how much.

[Hockeyguy15]

Ouch...Might have to look into season pass.

They are unlocked if you have it, correct?

[White Out 403]

You get a free preview... But only for a week.

I already have 39k renown saved up

[PsYcNeT]

Is it just a preview? I've seen places that say both, and the official wording from Ubi is kind of vague. It reads to me like you get them 1 week before launch permanently, which would make more sense considering the cost of the season pass, and what you actually get from it. Unlocked ops is really the only thing that makes the SP worthwhile.

[White Out 403]

That would make more sense

I'm curious too - I'm hoping that you don't have to hide it in barbwire.
