While lone players are left cold, and hit detection can be inconsistent, the new tactical environmental destruction and tense atmosphere make for a fierce and focused multiplayer experience.

Micro-destruction adds new tactical depth; Brilliantly balanced asymmetrical action; Well-designed maps that feel fresh each time

Needless microtransactions in a full-priced game; Spotty hit detection; Not much in terms of single player

Rainbow Six Vegas may have been one of my favorite shooters from the Xbox 360. The venue was enjoyable, tactics such as the rappel and breach-and-clear, added some strategy to clearing rooms, and the Terrorist Hunt mode was entertaining to play.

Sometimes I think critics -- and the consumer -- expect all games to be all things to all people. Take a game that only has a strong single player campaign. What! No multiplayer support? the critics complain.

I'll cop to it. I'm the guy who, for years, has been saying "I'd prefer it if developers of multiplayer-focused games would stop creating half-hearted single-player campaigns to appease an already uninterested audience".

Teamwork! Are you looking for the reason why you should buy Rainbow Six: Siege over one of the other myriad of shooters that have come out this winter? Then you now have that reason.

Rainbow Six Siege is already fighting a difficult battle trying to enforce a more methodical vision of a competitive shooter. It's a minor miracle that Ubisoft Montreal has built such a solid foundation in that regard.
