Always wanted to play as the hostage.

This dude is on a deadman profile and they throw him into a firefight lol, this guy would’ve been Med Boarded out…

That’s not the silhouette of an M4A1 Ubisoft…

 

[MayauMiao]

Behold, Ubisoft's next Assassin's Creed hero:

 

[rodrigolfp]

It's been years since Siege lost its appeal.
It was the best shooter with good balistics and characters and now its full of meaningless characters with pink skins that create unrealistic situations that break immersion.
This is just another addition to the nonsensical updates they've been pushing.

Good ballistics? It's all hitscan. Pink skins is unrealistic how? IRL people can have pink skins easily.

 

[Saber]

They deals tons of damage(shotgun guy can probably one shot you), but they are easy to avoid and get behind because of the wheelchair. Probably won't be the case of this game.

 

[Frwrd]

Why does ubisoft want me to shoot disabled people?

There is no way that this doesn't end up looking comical.

Majority of siege maps are heavily stairwell oriented. And if they are an attacker does that mean they'll rappel too

Fucking ubisoft

I wanna see that nigga rappelling head down omfg

 

[Zarak]

Sweeeet, I really hope the next operator is blind and you have to play only by sound.

 

[Phobos Base]

On the plus side, it will be easier to breach a building when you can park in the handicapped spaces.

 

[LordCBH]

Lmao so fucking dumb.

 

[Complistic]

Ubisoft, LOL

 

[Boss Mog]

More woke garbage from Ubi, shocker!

 

[R6Rider]

This is hilarious. Too bad I stopped playing because of rampant cheating.

 

[Fishels]

This game used to be amazing. Too many operators now

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Haven't loaded up the game in a while, but anytime I have loaded it up and made fun of whatever latest woke bullshit they pushed into the game, everyone in the chat agreed with me, and nobody tried to defend it. There's two type of Siege player, hell, maybe just two types of gamer... the one who wants the operators to be idealistic badasses, and the ones who want chick operators with slutty skins to buy. Nobody wants a fucking wheelchair operator or they/them pronouns.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Ubisoft is an absolute embarrassment

 

[mayham2199]

This was my first thought when I saw the thread title. There are levels with like three stories how the fuck does he get to the top floor?

 

[april6e]

There are alot of people getting mad in this thread that never cared about Rainbow Six nor actively play it yet have strong opinions about this. If you think the character is silly, then don't play them. A wheelchair bound Operator is your breaking point but you casually missed the fact that 2B from Nier Automata is in the game, an anime hacker chick and a character who can remotely control 1:1 moveable holograms? Get over yourselves with your crappy "Ubisoft woke" takes.

I didn't know you guys thought Rainbow Six was an Arma clone.

 

[EDMIX]

Kojima did it and no one complained. It is Fantasy.

Beat me to it.

 

[Gambit2483]

I thought this was a joke at first. I should have known better.

 

[Gambit2483]

Beat me to it.

Yea, except that old fucker could actually move, fast.

 

[jcorb]

This literally feels like parody at this point.

I guess Siege jumped the shark quite a while ago, but still; funny that the game has gone from being a relatively grounded shooter, to a playground of forced representation and "diversity".

I genuinely wonder where this kind of stuff gets shoved into "modern" games. Is it the devs themselves are just super into this stuff, and are willing to include it at the cost of their audience? Is someone in marketing tone-deaf and thinks these tactics lead to increased sales? Or is it just pandering to a vocal minority in order to win brownie points?

 

[Bodom78]

I'm waiting on the overwight middle aged man with a nagging wife and kids operator so I can feel represented in the game.

Don’t really see this as the same thing. I don’t really care. I enjoy the gameplay of R6 to much to drop it but it is ridiculous imo.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Leaked boss design

 

[AJUMP23]

I feel like the wheelchair guy would be like trying to shoot oddjob in goldeneye.

Your radio constantly goes off telling you to take out the fucking trash and lose weight during a stealthy infiltration.

 

[PSYGN]

Poor guy's gonna get headshoted constantly.

Thats why he was the best in that game lol

I still remember my friends and I racing to try to select him first lol

You sound like you're too scared to plug in your mic, but report everyone else as 'toxic'

Iana is also stupid what's your point? Like the title screen was her hologram ON THE MOOOOOON, we were making fun of that shit too. Or when WAKANDA FOREVA showed up and the splash screen turned into a Marvel poster?

The aesthetics completely changed over the years, the launch product was much more grounded and pretty light on the sci-fi elements. It's not even a question.

Launch trailer:

 

[Lethal01]

Sounds hype not gonna lie

 

[Bernardougf]

Asia is looking to gaming companies in the west implode themselfs in rainbow clouds with a big fucking smile ....

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Doorways arent that wide. Looks like Handiman will be sitting on the driveway.

 

[JimboJones]

Honestly it would be amusing to watch a match where everyone using this wheelchair operator.

 

[TGO]

I wonder if you're team mate can push you
Definitely won't hear footsteps
Wonder if the chair rolls back with each shot

Leaked boss design

You can get up steps on a wheelchair, a ladder though.....

 

[Hawking Radiation]

God damn it I love GAF

 

[feynoob]

Dont see the issue. Just because you cant use your legs, doesnt mean you cant be badass.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Siege isn't rainbow six at all, it's not rainbow six having goofy characters, it's not rainbow six.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Remember when Rainbow Six was called "the thinking man's first person shooter" and it was meant to be way more realistic, almost like a sim?

Now look at the state of it, what's the point of the Tom Clancy branding?

We've just gotten legit stupider as a society and it's very troubling, somehow it's considered mean to point out that in real life a person is not going to be going into combat situations in a wheelchair, so all reality ignore has to be ignored and everything has to get dumbed down since we can no longer face the simple fact that life isn't fair.

Despite it looking like a Pride Month parade these days, playing Siege at a decent level requires far more tactical thinking than the games from the 90s.

 

[March Climber]

That's a cool robot/switch mechanic.

Wait, is the OP and everyone else stupid or maybe blind? Because I just checked the videos and it looks like it's a tag team of human operator and a robot she controls? Then the gimmick is to switch between them or something? Either way it's not the wheelchair person that is moving.

Don't trust any OP's headline here, always click on the links first.

 

[Braag]

What political pandering? Disabled people are one of the most kind and patient people, they are used to having thick skin and being treated like shit.

This is kinda off topic but I gotta do a correction here. I used to work retail and there I learned generalizing any group of people as being all "good" is pure naivety. We had a regular who was a really fat guy in a wheelchair. He would pretty much every time on purpose knock stuff over and then yell someone to come pick the stuff up, he would then scold you for making the lanes too hard to navigate with a wheelchair as you were fixing the mess he made. He literally refused to go through the main lane and would try to squeeze from areas which he was too fat to fit from. He was overall a nasty person and everyone was super anxious whenever he was in the store.

Also another dude in a wheelchair stole an electric toothbrush once when I was there. Our guard said he is a regular thief that is known in most stores in that area and he is known to sell the stolen stuff online.

So yeah, disabled people are people, they can be assholes too.

 

[Woopah]

Ubisoft does so much political pandering.

What is "political" about a wheelchair?

 

[REMAINSILLY]

What is "political" about a wheelchair?

Only woke snowflakes can't use their legs, it's a well known fact.

 

[Mownoc]

Was a mistake to make this new character have robots. They could have been the new oddjob. Too low to shoot.

The chaos and screaming as this new character flies around on their wheeled contraption with an Uzi. The wheelchair armoured so you can only shoot them in the front. I am become death.
