But also in how the characters' abilities interact with one another. For those unaware, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is a game in which players face off against one another in tense 5v5 matches. These matches come with objectives, such as defending or attacking a bomb or a hostage.

Players will have to use not only their abilities and weapon skills to their advantage but map knowledge as well. The game has a surprising amount of destructibility to it, which in the right hands can be used to your advantage.
