Honestly, this looks like it'll be pretty awesome.
I second this. This could replace my current CSGO addiction if it is good.
I dunno, I've been a huge fan of Rainbow Six, and Tom Clancy in general... but to me it feels like the games went downhill after Ubisoft bought Red Storm... (like I mean, Ghost Recon has been nothing but shit since the originals, RS: Vegas was arguably not RS... EndWar, HAWX... I don't even... Splinter Cell was good at first, now also crap)
Also rip in peace :'(
"Gameplay" "footage"
If it ends up being half as good as that, I'll be impressed.

I agree, but I'm betting there was a script they were suppose to follow.
Starting beta matches today, am no longer streaming because Ubisoft laid a copyright claim on the stream and I'm not allowed to stream at all (on youtube) anymore because of it... okay that kind of pissed me off.
Otherwise, the game itself is actually pretty fun

EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE: 5:15pm Eastern on ALL PLATFORMS
Quote:Due to the recent matchmaking issues we will be conducting maintenance starting at 5:15pm Eastern time and will be down for approximately 15-20 minutes. Please hang tight. We will let you know when the servers are back up and you can play again.
(According to Electr1cPanda) on the Rainbow Six Siege forums.
For those of you with Rainbow Six Siege Beta access, there is currently a relatively popular forum thread in the technical test forums actually asking the devs to push the beta back more. As general masses who got beta thanks to pre-order, humble, or nvidia may not be as understanding that "Beta" is still a "Test" I know everyone here actually understands that (or should), but I want to make you guys aware that this thread is gaining traction.
Well, confirmation e-mail from ubi, they definitely pushed the beta out today. Compared to the video I posted here are changes:
You can no longer reinforce doorway and window blockades (this is actually good as it forces you to think in a manner that allows you as a defender to force the enemy to take specific paths if you reinforce in specific ways).
The helo drop and all the stuff in that video was scripted may still be in final game, but not in now.
You can definitely breach like that, but usually it's a bad idea (leaves you very exposed).
The defenders can go outside but they'll be indicated on the attackers screens. (So not recommended unless you really need it).
Also floor breaches only seem to be possible with Thermite now
I haven't seen any sniper classes yet.
We don't have hostage rescue right now.
Otherwise the rest of the gameplay is pretty accurate still in that video.

Same. Might even have 5.
Remember these extra keys we all have WILL ONLY REMAIN ACTIVE UNTIL OCTOBER 2ND AND THE BETA ONLY LASTS UNTIL OCTOBER 4TH
Reminder, Tomorrow is the last day to activate these extra keys and the beta will last until the 4th. Those interested, please contact one of us... in some manner.
Also note: You are required to use UPlay to play this game. (Right now)

What I like from this post:
"No Community Split" - "We've made the commitment not to sell maps and modes as we don't want to split our community. This means that all post launch maps & modes will be free"
"No pay wall on gameplay content" - "We've decided to have all gameplay content accessible via playtime. If you keep playing the game, you'll be able to access the post launch operators for free"
So the second one looks like it could be potential "pay to win" but ultimately this game's damage model makes pay to win... almost impossible
And just because, here's the Fall 2015 Gameplay Trailer:

Official Open Beta Start Tomorrow, much of us who had previous access have it unlocked today.
Pre-orders also get access to beta right now.
For those of you that have it go here and generate some free weekend codes.
https://rainbow6keys.ubi.com/en-US/keys
For those that don't have it, here are a Uplay free weekend code. Yes, Uplay only!

After you've installed there's also an 8-9 GB ultra res texture pack in the DLC section of UPlay for free.
Here's the statements on system requirements/recommendations:
Quote:The Rainbow Six Siege team put a lot of effort to try to deliver a solid and scalable experience to the PC community, so those of you running a 4 GB GPU will still be able to enjoy this texture pack from 1080p to 1440p resolutions.
Those of you with the high-end 6+ GB GPUs, you will be able to play the game in sharp 4K resolution, along with these Ultra-HD textures under standard lighting and shading options.
Last but not least, for those of you with the MEGA PCs with dual GPUs and with more than 6 GB of video ram, you will be able to run 4K, with the Ultra-HD textures, and with the highest settings of lighting, and shading which take advantage of tech like displacement mapping.

Lastly; the majority of people I play with actually utilize teamspeak, not mumble.
