Rainbow Six Siege Confirmed To Have No Single-Player Story

4.7
What is it with modern-day shooters going down the ‘no story’ route?

Titanfall, Evolve, Star Wars Battlefront – now Ubisoft’s latest franchise-resurrecting Rainbow Six has just confirmed it’ll be running with a heavy focus on essentially being multiplayer-only. Sure you have access to offline and ‘single player content’ in the form of maps filled with bots, but unlike the cancelled R6: Patriots that looked to be delivering a sold story, Siege will have no such thing.

Speaking at EGX 2015, Scott Mitchell, Art Director mentioned,

“There is no story mode per se. You go through training, where you get to experience different operators and their devices. You can play against enemy AI in co-op through all the maps. You can customise matches, so that’s what we’re offering on the single-player side of things”
adding,

“It’s a pretty good training ground, and on top or that you’re unlocking the same content as you would playing in PvP. You’re still gaining stars, reknown points, and new operatives”

Immediately for many fans of Rainbow Six’s older games, this will be a killing blow. It’s all well and good offering up a bevy of maps (11 so far, to be exact) that’ll be downloadable for free going forward, but anyone not up for getting stuck into the online portion of things will be thoroughly put off that the dedicated single player part of the experience is essentially just a training ground.
Rainbow Six Siege is scheduled for release December 1st, 2015.

Miss I don't understand why companies are going down that route, campaigns are what make games great.


Because they know people will buy the game even at full 60 JUST for multiplayer.. Its really sad and true people will still go out and buy this game, and the season pass for whatever and all the camos that will cost like 3 dollars each and all the whatever.. Im not having this, im about to leave to take my pre order off at gamestop.


We should boycott rainbow six; BS


You guys are idiots, js. Campaign in FPS games aren't fun. I don't remember the last time I played single player on a CoD, and I didn't even do half of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. It's nothing groundbreaking or new. Shoot bad guys, take down terrorist group. Win. Yay.

How often did you play a single player FPS game? How many times did you run through a CoD story?


I played every FPS campaign on the hardest mode. BF, CoD, Halo, RS, the lot. It's something to do when your internet or something goes down.

If your whole aspiration for a game is " OMG MULTIPLAYER GOTTA SHOOT!!! " then wow. Not a lot to say there.


Lmao way to just prove my point. You beat it on the hardest difficulty. What did you do afterwards? Plus, "something to do when your internet is down" exactly. There's no point in playing the story. You run through, get the collectibles and do on hardest for achievements/fun then never touch it again.


Not true. You can always replay it different ways, especially if it's an RPG. If not that, then if the story is really good you'll play a ton of it. I played Rainbow Six Vegas 2's campaign so many times with so many friends and even by myself.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Beating games on the highest difficulty is fun and not to mention rainbow six campaign exp transfers to online so that was always fun to run through with some friends!

Wow I actually might not buy this game now. I was really looking forward to this campaign.

The no story route could arguably work in something like call of duty because the multiplayer is a huge portion of the play ability and price tag.. but for rainbow six this is super dumb

I can't believe that! I don't understand why first person shooters are so reliant on the online gaming. Single-Player is just as enjoyable.
