I've never played a rainbow 6 game before, but did terrorist hunt have Ai partners before?

Because this article seems to only be talking about terrorist hunt, not the single player campaign.

Read again. He is also talking about the single player campaign.

 

[Gamezone]

First time hearing that it even has a campaign.

They spoke about single player since E3 2014. No secrets there.

 

[Rembrandt]

I think that quote is talking about Terrorist Hunt.

If the story campaign doesn't have AI teammates....the fuck are you doing, Ubisoft?

Let's hope so. That doesn't really make sense otherwise.

 

[blame space]

The single-player has multiplayer?

 

[MMaRsu]

Does this game support split screen?

 

[MaDKaT]

Hmm.... I may have to take another look at this game. Wrote it off as just another multiplayer game. Solo campaign makes this more appealing.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Haha wow. And this game costs 59 €. I think I will pass.

Hmm.... I may have to take another look at this game. Wrote it off as just another multiplayer game. Solo campaign makes this more appealing.

I don't think this game will have a "campaign". It will be something like Titanfall.

 

[Rembrandt]

Ubisoft has pulled back the curtain on the Terrohunt mode included in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, which will allow for 1-5 players to tackle tough AI-controlled enemies as they bid to complete objectives.

OP, this is obviously about terrorist hunt and playing that by yourself. This says nothing about the campaign. lmao. did you even read the article?

"When you're playing through single-player there are no supporting characters," Mitchell said. "But you can play as a lone wolf, as well as play the game's whole story campaign. That said, it is more difficult.

This is misleading, but the whole article is about terrorist hunt, so I'll wait until they talk directly about single player before getting upset.

I don't know.....that's not how I understood that sentence. It sounds like he's saying there's a campaign available for people who don't play multiplayer.

That's how I'm reading it too.

 

[BluenoseGames]

I think I'll stick to Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 Backwards Compatibility. Rainbow Six Siege is just meh.

 

[digitaltrance]

Ever since Red Storm was picked up by Ubisoft this series has gone to crap. The whole tactical approach to this game was going down hill right after Raven Shield. They have removed the whole pre-planning/way-points of missions (if I remember correctly). Such a shame they can't get it right; looks to becoming more of a run and gun game.

 

[Xater]

Wait so is there a real campaign or not? Or do they just have some bullshit narrative hooks between the Terrorist Hunt stuff?

Also the article says the game is only 60fps in competitive MP on consoles. As soon as you play TerrorHunt it's just 30fps because of the AI. Ugh...

 

[Sinatar]

rip rainbow six you had a good run

Rainbow Six died years ago. Ubi has been parading it's dessicated corpse around since the OG Xbox days.

He went on telling that you also could play the campaign, but it would be more difficult. But I hope that you are right. I have my doubts. If the campaign supports AI squad, why couldn`t they be included in terrorist hunt when there are room for human players there?

 

[Gemüsepizza]

They have showed nothing of this omnious campaign yet. That's why I think there won't be a traditional campaign.

Let's face it: This game was in development hell for years. Now they are trying to make a cheap MP-only game from the scraps of the previous versions, slap 59€ on it and call it a day. This game seems just like a pretty blatant cash-grab attempt.

 

[Xater]

Rainbow Six died years ago. Ubi has been parading it's dessicated corpse around since the OG Xbox days.

I thought Rainbow Six 3 was great. It didn't have the pre-planning but still left you with lots of options during the missions to plan stuff unlike Vegas.

 

[Human_me]

Well looks like I'm buying this game when its £2.50

 

[neorej]

Remember, guys? How you'd spend hours preparing for a mission, carefully adding waypoints and making sure everything was in sync before going into the actual mission, where a rogue adversary would fuck your plan into oblivion?


God, I miss that game.

 

[DooMAGE]

So SWAT 4 is still the king.

 

[Polish Folk Hero]

I think this is a perfect example which shows ubisofts direction of an connected online experience is off, I think that a lot of players just want to play alone. Which is why games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, GTA 5, Metal Gear Solid, Just Cause, ect are so popular.

Heck, even after they dropped that, they had the full capability to set up breaches and coordinate your entire team solely with voice commands. On the original Xbox.

And then everyone pretended years later that it was a new thing with Kinect.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

End of an era.

 

[Gamezone]

Some crappy AI there, but still king.

SWAT 4's crappy AI is part of it's charm.

No, I was right.

Just to let you know there is a single player experience which is done through Missions. These pre-set scenarios expose the player to the content and mechanics of the Siege and are specifically designed to be played solo as a Lone Wolf, but can also be played cooperatively with up to four friends.

So no campaign, just missions. Don`t want to play with strangers? Then you are stuck alone.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Shame. Have to pass on this entry in the Rainbow Six series.

 

[Always-honest]

Huh? But... That was kinda the deal with these games.

Anyway, still interested, but the ai team was... well, Rainbow Six..

Rainbow Six died years ago. Ubi has been parading it's dessicated corpse around since the OG Xbox days.

nah, the rainbow six games were great. They were different, but great.

 

[ironcreed]

Can't get excited for this one. I am much more excited for The Division and Ghost Recon Wildlands.

 

[Steel]

Well, that sucks. It still sounds like they're nailing the multiplayer though, so I'm OK with this.

 

[NullPointer]

Not sure I follow. The quote isn't saying that there isn't single player... Seems There's lots of single player. He's saying there isn't any AI characters along side you when you play terrohunt or the single player campaign solo.

Yeah, that's how I understand it. It technically has a single player but its not balanced for it, and there's no AI teammates to use like there were in Rainbow Six Vegas, and further enhanced in Vegas 2 (to use in Terrorist Hunt).

Thats not at all what I expected or wanted out of a new Rainbow Six. This is tuned for multiplayer - that's where it shines, and that's fine, just not for me.

Welp, good find. That is incredibly disappointing. The game still looks good, but an over reliance on co-op without any AI sucks. I have no idea why they can't have AI in these missions.

 

[Erico]

Just HD remake Rogue Spear.

Terrorist Hunt in the most recent Vegas 2 iteration was also garbage due to the bullshit respawn-right-behind-you terrorists.

 

[crazyrabbits]

I used to play lone wolf all the time back in Black Thorn. No teammates, just me and 50 enemies in places like the airport terminal or the train.

That said, Black Thorn had no real SP campaign, and was basically a bunch of scattered maps with different win conditions. I expect that Siege will be the same, but the difference is that Black Thorn was a mission pack. They`re trying to charge me $70 CAD for a glorified multiplayer shooter with no other meat on it.

Rainbow: an international counter-terrorism unit.

No teammates. :lol Ubisoft.

edit: wait wat

 

[OttoSporteman]

I'm confident it will have companion AI during the single player campaign, but it won't during terrorist huntsingle player.

http://blog.ubi.com/rainbow-six-siege-single-player-terrohunt-modes/

You have been called on to assemble an elite team of specialists from counter-terrorist units around the world, and in Rainbow Six Siege, you will recruit these Operators through various missions, by playing any mode and gaining renown.

 

[ZiggyMoff]

This make me sad Ubisoft, very sad.

I mean, it just makes no sense at all.

Edit seen quote below, thank god.

 

[Gamezone]

It will have companion AI during the single player CAMPAIGN, it won't during TERROHUNT single player.

http://blog.ubi.com/rainbow-six-siege-single-player-terrohunt-modes/

If that`s true, they have to work on their PR team.

 

[Basketball]

Okay this game has been shown, played a lot

But I have two questions

Is that 3rd person camera still in and can we customize our own character ? Like from rsv2 and 1

 

[TCRS]

jesus christ

 

[TemplaerDude]

I don't understand why they continue to call these Rainbow Six.

 

[Sijil]

Bah, it was idiotic of me to expect Ubisoft to actually match let alone improve on Raven Shield. Rainbow Six as a true tactical squad FPS is dead, I'll just fire up Raven Shield on Steam for old times sake.

 

[Gamezone]

I don't understand why they continue to call these Rainbow Six.

They tried Need for Speed.

 

[Pooya]

that sound terrible, I just recall the first level of Vegas 1 where you are solo and it's the worst part of the game...

edit: doesn't sound like there is even a real sp, makes sense with all of the marketing focus on MP from the start,

I expect they do the same with GRWL, making AI for that must be hard.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

This is as confusing as the Hitman episodic release.

That seems vague as all hell. Why would I play a campaign where I have to recruit specialists during missions? I thought the whole aim of the series was that you started with a group of recruits and specialists, kept leveling them up, but had to sub new guys in if the old ones died. And you`re in an elite government unit - why would you be recruiting people during missions? Or going `lone wolf`at all?

I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but Ubi needs to get its PR sorted out. Their moderator says it`s scenario-based lone wolf, but this article seems to think it`s with a full squad. Which is it?

 

[Gaz_RB]

On what planet does a Rainbow Six operator work alone?

 

[OrlanisWorks]

Can't get excited for this one. I am much more excited for The Division and Ghost Recon Wildlands.

Absolutely. Ghost Recon seems like it might be an interesting entry in the series, and The Division might bring some great multiplayer moments.

Siege offers nothing but some destructive environments. They've completely stripped Rainbow Six of its identity, and this is after when I thought Vegas had already done that.

This game seems like a $25 digital release title.
