History of Rainbow Six (1997 - 2020)

Thanks for uploading this! I've waited so long for this!

Gonna wait until a new Rainbow Six: Quarantine game in 2021

Great review nick

max payne comparison please

you need to do socom if you havnt done it yet

Waw that sounds so cool, it must be an awesome memory

Yeah, it was bonding time with my father, too, who is now passed on.

@@TacShooter May he rest in peace, im sorry to hear that.

My siege user name is RO9UE_SPEAR83. Been on these games too long. I'm nearly 40 ffs.

@@PBclipz You can't be too old or to young for these games, I'm 16 and I love rogue spear. Never finished it tho, might as well do it now

You right

Him and the 4thsnake are the best gaming channels

Nick and Ahoy should get together. It would be fantastic.

I played ghost recon as a kid and was stressed during every mission 🤣🤣🤣

I remember playing the first ghost recon, rainbow six and splinter cell on the Xbox since I didn’t have a pc yet. Man it put Ubisoft and Tom Clancy games at the top of my list for favorite games. Damn shame what has happened with these great series. Rainbow six is an e sport. Ghost recon is typical Ubisoft open world game. Splinter cell is just non existent. Glad I grew up with the games I did.

@@johnyurkovich I actually really love Ghost Recon Wildlands, but I hear you.

God Delta force was terrible 😂 but I played it for probably 4 days straight lol

@Daire Barefoot I loved delta force. 2 specifically.

@Quinn Burton Lol imagine killing half of enemy team with a deagle while spawnpeeking twice in a row

@Quinn Burton so relatable

@@mattattaxx5425 The English didn't really have an issue with Ebola.

back then was semi-realistic gadgets... now we have lasers, clones and hulk

SHPOOKY

@El Risitas Fanboi yeah, it looked like a Raygun and they used it to kill Brightling's security

They also had that fbi vr glasses thing

@RTX El Risitas (aka El Risitas Fanboi) brazil rainforest, i think

Fun fun fact. My dad was actually a lead designer on the original rainbow sixes and according to him the heart sensor was the only suggestion of Tom Clancy’s that they actually implemented

I tried to read it in high-school and it felt confusing. It jumped around a lot from location to location with seemingly a different character every time.

Holograms are incredibly realistic.

And running through walls like the Kool aid man is not so technologically absurd as you may think. Do you want realistic or outdated

@@markstevens7699 dude please... R6 is unrealistic af

@@aldovk6681 I'm not arguing about it. Do your research. There's literally a pig human fetus that was "aborted"
If you think it can't be done 2021 chances are you can't explain why in the first place, let alone defend your stance on any kind of fact based criteria. When I looked up what cj was referring to, I found that it's about as unrealistic as literally any other video game. More so than the old r6, bit like rainbow cod.
Either way. Basic demolition and basic holographics are already utilized in Michael Jackson after death concerts and urban warfare so, dude please. Google.

@@markstevens7699 An albino space lady using clones and a dude that can pass through walls with his bear hands is unrealistic even by 2030 standards... so no

I believe that in the very first R6 you actually were saving the world.

@@TacShooter whoops!

@@TacShooter still it was good

@@oksomynameisjeff4212 Absolutely!

It would really run almost like a puzzle game than an FPS

Then it'll be what we despise today sadly

Better graphics, animations, sounds etc. Not like breakpoint or wildlands though.

Just play terrorist hunt

Our current terrorist hunt is kinda meh, really liked the old ones

You won't

Door Kickers (and its sequel) is essentially an evolution of RS's planning stage. It even has a character named "Tom Clancy" with a callsign of "Redstorm."

Try “ready or not”

If you watch the original trailer for siege it was kind of like this.

The reason the majority of youtubers tries to make their videos around 10 minutes long is because most people don't have an attention span longer then that.

@@xSTONYTARKx That or people don't like to spend a lot of time on youtube.

He’s gotta get that watch time

@@xSTONYTARKx I think the video is eligible for a second ad if it hits 10 minutes

@@themicrogrowguy used to be like that, that's where the whole "stretching vid to 10 minutes mark" meme came from. But KRplus changed it last year so you only need to have your video be 8 minutes or longer for more than one ad.

Agreed VERY well done

yeah absolutely. still i thinl rainbow 6 is an amazing book and a interessant concept of an internstional western special operations unit

That's why the CIA pairs John Clark with Jack Ryan on those dangerous missions because Clark is more the spec ops and was a US Navy SEAL basically SoCom. Ryan is just a smart detective profiler type that's why he climbs the ranks of the CIA because he always figures out the villains plans. To me, Clark is more interesting because he is off the books doesn't officially exist and goes in and green berets the problems when they need to clean something up but can't do it legally.

The rainbow six novel was kinda crazy for a Clancy book. That plot twist about literally killing most of humanity

And the new Six after John Clark if I remember clearly

I think John Clark is the main character and all the original RS operatives that were in the book. Later in the series Ding will take more ground from the stories. Loiselle Lois, Weber Dieter, Eddie Price and many more. But mainly John Clark and because Ding is his son in law in the series he's one of the main characters through the series.

@@WaveMattson correct, John Clark is the main character in the Rainbow 6 book and I believe it's all part of the Jack Ryan series.

@@infinitesimal9001 Clark is in fact the main character in the book as he is literally “Rainbow Six.” Rainbow, being the code name of the entire unit (consisting of two teams with Ding being leader of Team 1) and Six being the call sign of a units leader. There is even a Rainbow Five…second in command Alistair Stanley.

@@tommloye4626 yea. I just wasn't sure if it was part of the jack Ryan series or not.

well to be fair, t hunt is used constantly for improving ones mechanical skills in siege. like almost every pro uses it for aim training

Terrorist Hunt Is The Best.. you should get more rewards for playing T-Hunt

THIS PART 😥

I'm just really sad Siege exists.

Honestly they kinda did

That'd be us? Hehehe. Everyone feel free to join us on Discord!

rainbow six 3 and lockdown on gamecube for me was my first rainbow experience, enjoyed them a lot, it was always 007 nightfire or agent under fire, medal of honor, allied assault and european assault as my action set piece games and rainbow was harder and alot more tactical

RS3:RS was the best for sure. Although Siege isn't as good it's probably the best one since RS.

I wish I could get it to run on Win10 but so buggy

Raven Shield is incredible!

The swan song of R6, if only we could get an official R6 title like Raven Shield again...

Rogue Spear was the best. But of course Raven Shield was also amazing.

​@@emirtimur1557the first one was amazing too, I just like the third one the most since it is basically like the previous two but way better graphics.

​@@lisazkc256the gameplay was slowed down significantly though. In the first two there was side stepping to aim while moving

And then Lockdown exist started to tarnished the series

He also failed to mention the Dreamcast version of Rogue Spear had mouse & keyboard support, despite criticism of its controls.

The Xbox live package came with R6 3, and even for a demo the servers were really active and super fun. Great community for a demo in the early 2000s

Did you ever play the first rainbow six game? You literally had to spend a minimum of half an hour planning and plotting coordinates on a map schematic. If you didn't the other 2 teams of bots would just sit at the spawn doing nothing. You literally had to draw out all the waypoints of how you were going to execute the attack against the terrorists and plan your escape.

@@azagedon what does this have to do with the original comment?

@@azagedon the people who played the PVP version would just click one dot on the pre-mission map, grab Ding or Santiago, a CAR15, HBS, primary mags and whatever pistol and head on out haha

@@AkiraIsMissing He meant Rainbow Six had always been like that even before Vegas

umm Jager 95% pick rate,s o much planning

Not the falling simulator that is the latest entry?

Not quite the same but there's a scenario (will take a few sessions to get through) on Arma 3 inspired by Ghost Recon if you haven't yet tried it out called Hunter Six Special Operations. May be something you'd be interested in. It's a shame they took GR and R6 down the roads they did.

So true ...

I'm sitting here relying on tiny teams to make the games that GR and RS should be. Ground Branch has my faith. Arma 3 is also similar to GR, especially if you mod it, and it has a reasonably sized team.

Well... there is the Advanced Warfighter subseries on PC if you haven't played those.

@@DeltaAssaultGaming Thank you for clearing that up - I think I had my memories of it mixed up.

Yeah, the accuracy and recoil simulation was totally backwards. Pistols were sniper rifles and a SAW was a lawn sprinkler.

Mp5 pdw was the best choice for aggressive game style

Msn game zone.. nostalgia

Goddamn it Ubisoft.

Yeah siege is it’s own thing. It literally is not a rainbow six game

@@christophersalinas2722 I mean, atleast they tried, right?

You can say that but the game has been alive for almost 6 years. It's sure not the same but the concept is there.

What isn't real about it

Gonna love the day of its online multiplayer days through MSN Zone server

There are some HD hit effects mod and shader mods on the Tactical-Gaming Discord. And there are new maps.

Thankfully, Ravenshield community is still alive somehow and there are amazing mods available :D!!

I think Vegas is the best

There was an HD remaster mod project for Raven Shield. But it got shut down by Ubisoft of course. They don't want you playing RS. They want you playing what they are currently selling.

If your on xbox rainbow 6 seige is on gamepass

@@demetrickshields7045 i have my doubts. Mans profile pic is literally a PSN platinum trophy. Haha or it looks likenit, anyhow.

@@Bigpep69420 aint no way

;)

I agree. It's becoming like Overwatch. Part of the fun was bringing different metas to the table like Glaz with his mobile scope, Zofia and Clash with self revive, Blackbeard's 50HP shield (don't, just don't fight me), and the list goes on and on. All the pros and the streamers are cool, I honestly hate them cause they'd whine about a certain strat a team was using and claim it as a "noncombatable fight, automatic loss, to strong" situation. Gimme a fricking break!

@@willmeadows3233 r6s was never good tho

@@ZirkyPlays All subjective, but R6S was very interesting early on. It was counter strike with destructable walls and floors. I feel like they jumped the shark with the theme of the game, too whacky fun time. Also haven't been maintaining the quality of life very well.

​@@winlover37 They decided to focus too much on "balance". The problem being that every time they add a new operator or tweak a gadget then all the balance calculations need to be redone. This leads to ever increasingly complex balance calculations.
My advice would've been to use the preset objectives in casual mode but allow for custom objectives in competitive. This frees the team to no longer have to focus so much on whether such-and-such bomb site is truly OP as that can happen organically. Time becomes far more important as you aren't going into the match exactly knowing how the defenders will be defending or where.
Second, create new maps over new operators. The gadgets have obviously gone from somewhat believable to ridiculous as UBI has clearly struggled to come up with new ideas. Maps on the other hand they would be able to constantly create and come with the added benefit that they won't impact balance calculations. So even if they avoided the first idea of custom locations then they still avoid the compounding complexity trap.

That is very cool!

nice, remember their name by any chance?

spaceman1980 his name was Johnathan Peedin

@@joeytunney5476 apparently he's at Epic Games now!

@@LSK2K agreed

I mean out of all competetive fps games r6 siege is the most tactical IMO

@@stefanmarinkovic1229 that's probably because it's the only tactical shooter in the competitive scene. and the game being competitive doesn't particularly make it great. if the game aimed to only satisfy the competitive crowd it'd lose a lot of players.

@@frostsoul4199 I feel siege has probably one of the best casual and competitive modes in combination, as most game lean one way or the other siege has been able to tread the line fairly well. This has lead to a strange mixture of balancing but I still think it keeps R6's core tenant of tactics and planning (comparative, seriously you need to see the backdowns people have done on the maps) along with quick thinking changes on the fly that came with the later entries seen in the casual mode.

@@frostsoul4199 It's a good mix between comp and casual fps

@@stefanmarinkovic1229 The term "tactical" tends to take on different meanings depending on the kind of game we are talking about. For a competitive shooter, tactics are a important part of the basic gameplay formula but that tactical element takes on an entirely different flavor in a competitive PvP multiplayer environment. The way you play Siege on a tactical level is entirely different than how you would play R6 1 through 3 on a tactical level.
A big part of this is single player versus competitive multiplayer. In a single player focused title, you have a lot of freedom to slow down the pace and focus more on realistic, immersive tactical situations. As we saw in the first three games, the lack of 100% laser focus on competitive balance allowed the developers to focus more on capturing the feel of being in an elite, highly capable team even if that meant that enemies often felt underequipped in comparison.

Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated :)

Siege doesn’t scratch that itch. Should’ve been Rainbow Six Vegas 3 or RS: Patriots.. Maybe now we’ll get one although I have a bad feeling that the success of Siege is gonna completely change the franchise for good..

@@MediQate i think a good idea would be to simply make Siege its own multiplayer franchise, then continue Rainbow Six as a tactical shooter with more emphasis on the campaign and terrorist hunt co-op mode.

@@keatstone218 this. It’s just a online esports sweatfeast 😭

@@MediQate 😥😥 ∏∏ νεgα₷ Ⅲ ∏∏ would be import export like 😉

Remember SWAT 4 or Hidden and Dangerous? Good times

Same here man!!

Thank you for your service. NATO mods were great

Bro, do you remember Pie's Tactics? I remember playing the WW2 D-Day mod.

Greetings. Are you still distributing that mod? I want to play that mod.

KRplus algorithm I guess. Oh well! Still fun making this

@@Nick930 well done. This brings me back to great memories with friends back then.

@@Nick930 thank you for doing these

Now has 812K, almost at 1 million 😁

Does Politika count?

csgo?

Metal Gear Solid documentary is coming in December :)

While modern gamers aren't the only ones to blame, I do agree that the introduction of a large number of new gamers that we got did transform our gaming world for the worse in the past 10-15 years:(
A thing I like to say... "Your average PC gamer in the 90s had a joystick and a flight sim installed on his computer."

Blame the company. Everyone I know would prefer the patriots game due to its themes.

@@tfwthelsdkicksin6083 I would blame the company but they are simply following the money trail. People love playing dress up in video games and that is a perfect market to exploit apparently

Siege is legit

blaming the audience is the easy way out, in the end it was the publisher who decided to water down the realism and authenticity.

I remember being really bummed out about having to move to gamespy when mplayer shut down. But it was better than zone

Msn zone was a better place, honestly. I miss online within MSN Zone community server when playing R6 Rogue Spear

MSN zone shouldn't be forgotten as well

Me too ever since I heard he was going to make it

Same

Sadly as long as they keep getting money from their new ideas, they will never go back to how things used to be. Even with their other games, look at ghost recon right now, from an hardcore first person shooter it went to an third person battle royale game (which did recieve backlash from the fans).

@@quartermaster2809 assassin's creed too. ubisoft is surely butchering off their franchises.
