OK. So, Rainbow 6 has always been one of my all time favorite shooting games. All you Call of Duty fans really need to jump ship because this game is highly UNDERATED!
I would like to add this game has a very tactical approach. DO NOT expect to be running around blasting peoples heads off and becoming the game version of Rambo, like in the ever so popular Call of Duty franchise.
If you are a fan of kill or be killed type scenarios, this game is truly relentless, one wrong peak and your character can be obliterated. All it takes is one bullet to the head and it's a confirmed kill, even with a silenced pistol. So, if you want to get a high ranking in Rainbow 6, you absolutely have to make use of your drones and tactical equipment. Positioning, angles and informing your teammates where the enemy is, is crucial to a good player and team. You are a squad and you have to help each other, which is why I like this games diverse effect.
There are a number of characters to choose from, I'd say 15 off the top, all with different tactical approaches and gadgets to help your team win rounds. Not one character is considered OP in my opinion, they all have substantial use in a squad and sure some might be a little more beneficial then others, but they all have strong potential.
Here is a quick compilation I found from YouTuber, Seren17:
What I absolutely love about this game is the ability to shoot holes in walls to create hidden glory- I mean peep holes, so you can basically create your own tactical vantage point. If you suspect an enemy is beneath you, you can shoot the floors out and possibly get a confirmed kill!
This brings me to reinforcing your defenses, use barb wire, metal plating on walls so bullets cannot penetrate, plant c4's, human bear traps (Frost character), hidden cameras (Valkyrie) and much, much more to fortify and booby trap the combat zone.
Not to mention you can rappelling hook off the side of buildings like Batman and take out your enemy from various positions. You can smoke bomb, flash bang, breach and clear, smash through windows and even launch bouncing grenades into an enemy room with a Fuse gadget.
This game is really awesome. If you don't already have it, please do yourself a favor and grab a copy.
I recommend buying it off steam for PC. But if you are a console gamer there is an awesome price on it for the PS4 off Amazon:
Also for the Xbox, I'm not sure why it is priced so high but it is a "Gold Edition" So if your that much of a fan here's the link:
