''Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege'' is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was announced on June 9, 2014 at E3. The game uses the AnvilNext game engine. Considered as a successor to the now cancelled ''Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots'', ''Siege'' puts heavy emphasis on environmental destruction and co-operation between players. Unlike previous entries in the series, the title has no campaign and only offers an online mode. ==Gameplay== ''Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege'' is a first-person tactical shooter, in which players take control of an operator from the Rainbow team, a counter-terrorist unit. Different operators have different nationalities, perks, abilities and equipment. For instance, an operator named Twitch is equipped with a drone that can stun enemies with electric shock, while Smoke has the ability to detonate poison gases around, which can effectively lower the health of enemies in the affected areas. As a result, the game features an asymmetrical structure. Each side also gain access to a "Recruit", whose gears and gadgets can be customized by players to meet the requirement of a match. Players can only play as one of the classes in a match, and cannot be switched throughout. Powerful weapons, like grenades and breach charges are valuable, as their number are limited under the system. Team-work is encouraged in ''Siege'', and players are tasked to integrate their abilities to eliminate their enemies. Communications between players are also encouraged.〔 Players can plan their attack before a match begins. The attackers have the ability to send a drone to detect the environment and to find the enemies and targets they are seeking for, while the defenders could fortify certain areas to prevent attackers' attack. The attackers can pick from multiple locations to deploy their attacks.〔 Maps in the game are designed to be close-quartered, and players cannot respawn but can be revived by their fellow temmates after their defeat. The reason for that is that the developer wanted to encourage players to utilize teamwork, tactics, and to create tension throughout the game, which was called "the three main pillars" by Ubisoft Montreal. Time allowed for each match is also short.〔 Verticality is among one of the key elements when designing the game's maps. Players can breach-charge ceilings and floors, as well as ambushing enemies by rappelling through breakable windows.〔 Every actions performed by players except shooting teammates in the game grants players "Renown", which can be used to purchase new characters and weapons skins. The game also features heavy emphasis on destruction, which is one of the major reasons that lead to the cancellation of ''Rainbow Six: Patriots''. It is also "the center of the experience" of ''Siege'' in accordance to Andrew Witts, the game's designer. A procedural destruction system is featured in the game. Players can break structures by planting explosives on them, or to make bullet holes on walls by shooting it. The environments of the game feature a layered material system, in which environmental objects of different materials will show different reactions to player's attack.〔 Players may gain tactical advantages through environmental destruction, and that the system aims at encouraging players to utilize creativity and strategy.〔 In order to create a realistic gameplay, a bullet penetration system is featured, in which bullets deal less damage when they hit enemies through structures.〔 In addition to destruction, players can also build fortified barriers and shields around them for protection, but can be destroyed through breaching and utilizing melee-weapons like hammers. In order to stop attackers' attacks, defenders can place traps like barbed-wire around the maps. Different modes are featured in the final game, including Hostage Mode, in which attackers must extract the hostage, either male of female, from the defenders, while the defenders must prevent that from happening. The game also features a co-operative mode, previously called "Terrohunt" but now renamed to "Terrorist Hunt", which supports up to five different players. Players take on the role of either attackers or defenders, and must fight against waves of enemies controlled by artificial intelligence. The game does not feature a single-player campaign, but features a single-player tutorial mode called Situations〔http://blog.ubi.com/rainbow-six-siege-single-player-situations/〕 and the Terrorist Hunt mode supports solo play. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
