Hey guys, this upcoming weekend Ubisoft will be holding a free weekend for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. As my favorite game of the past few years, I am excited to be able to play this game with some of the cool people I’ve met through FM, and you are invited!
In short, Siege is a 5 vs 5 tactical shooter in which every decision you make matters. There is no respawning, and getting a headshot is nearly almost always an instant kill, so the stakes are high. But, with strategy and tactics, you can come out on top. Every single round is unique and engaging.
If you’re new, there will be a lot to learn. Map layouts, camera locations, operators, gadgets, common spots and pathways, objective sites, and more. Luckily, you have a friend (me) who is more than willing to jump into some Casual games and help introduce you to the basics. And, if you’re willing to pay attention, every single death is a huge opportunity to learn, as you can see how you died, and then spend the rest of the time watching your teammates or using the game’s extensive camera networks to help lead your team to victory.
I own the game on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, so I can play with you wherever you’d like. I’ll make an effort to actually be online for this, so simply add me on Steam, Xbox Live, or PSN (I’m orangeandblack5 on all of them) and shoot me a message on Discord (orangeandblack5#4506) to see if I’m available. I can’t recommend the game enough.
Here’s a quick guide on the Rainbow6 subreddit specifically aimed at new players for the free weekend: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/97bpqx/free_weekend_faq_quickstart_and_buyers_guide/
I hope to play with you soon!
