Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege playerbase numbers have been revealed by Ubisoft. In order to show the game's "massive success" at revamping systems and by benevolently adding Starter Editions, the infamous French company shows its face.

Rainbow Six Siege's Season 7 is coming to a conclusion next month when the best teams from Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America come up against each other. The event will have a prize pool of ~£176.000 or $275.000 USD.

Players are ripping their hair out when they see Blitz on the opposing team these days. This is due to an exploit that allows him to have near perfect hip-fire accuracy so he can channel his inner John Wick while keeping the shield up.

Pay to win policies have always been a sure-fire way to ruin the game experience for most of your player base and yet developers and publishers keep doing it. It may be profitable in the short term, but should and will they ever stop?

Now you'd be forgiven for thinking that a 'slight misalignment', as Ubisoft calls it, between where you're aiming and where your bullets actually hit is not that big a deal, but we can't think of a bigger deal when talking about shooters.

Rainbow Six Siege's first Season 3 update, Chimera was a large scale patch and as Ubisoft mentioned, today's patch should have been smaller, but the download size of 1.2GB was suspicious. Turns out it contained assets for the Italian ops.

Revisiting competitive games after a break shows the decay of your skills like nothing else. Our reflexes are non-existent and our brain processes visual and audio cues at a crawl. So how does one get back into top competitive shape?

Season 6 of the professional Rainbow Six Siege scene concluded with the record breaking Six Invitational 2018. After a brief pre-season period, professional play is kicking off today with season 7 of Pro League.

Ubisoft have made it a habit to design their games by way of apology. Most of their active cash cows were a yawn-fest on launch and improved later, grandiose apologetic gesturing included. Why not release a finished game to begin with?

Rainbow Six Siege grinding is going to be a lot easier after 6 March 2018. Renown costs for the original 20 operators will be removed for all game editions except for Starter and attachments will be free entirely.
