I loved the previous iterations.

Which was the one where you could map out your team's entry routes and room clearing. The press 'go' and it would be full Special Forces Entry stuff.

It was always so exciting to see if your tactics had paid off.

That was the original Rainbow Six, I think the second one was similar and had snipers.

I had Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 on the 360. I loved it, purely for Terrorist Hunt. One of the great game modes; i prefer it to horde or Nazi Zombie type modes which could in theory go on ad infinitum. The fact that there was a limited number of people and that you new exactly how many were left made each kill actually mean something (or perhaps i have the mindset of a serial killer). Equally, the tension when you had 1 life left and 1 guy left to kill you don't get from horde type games.

So if they include a similar mode in the new one, i'll buy it

I'll wait until full reviews of the online experience emerge.

I have no interest if it's a CoD or BF type thing.

I have ordered it for xbox one got it from Tesco on a 2 for £80 job they were doing a £20 off voucher last week taking it down £30 per title - even if it bombs should find some fool to but it on ebay for the same money!

That was the original Rainbow 6 and Rogue Spear (I think), very tense games and even though the multi player was really in the online game infancy (I think the one life, that's it model really worked) it was great.

Ive just bought Vegas and Vegas 2 for the Xbox 360, theyre still brilliant. As said, the terrorist hunt is great, especially split screen.

From the youtube videos of the Alpha test it looks like it is gonna be a bit poo!

Loved Rainbow Six on the 360 - the Co Op terrorist hunts with a friend were great fun!

I saw a trailer for Siege a while ago and it blew my mind, but then that was clearly a well rehearsed trailer. Having seen the game in testing I wasn't very impressed. Each game seemed to be 5 mins of lobby, 1.30 mins of preparing, 2 mins of actual action and then start again.

The multi player element of the this game is waaaaay to dependent on you having a group of mates who all play the game. I can see the whole thing going stale within minutes if you are in a lobby with a bunch of no mic john rambo wasters and being steamrollered every match.

Hopefully I am proven wrong but I get the feeling this will be a lot like Left For Dead - great if you have a good group, hugely frustrating if you don't.
