Since its reveal, information on Rainbow Six Patriots has been scarce. Ubisoft is looking to change that today, however.
In addition to seven new photos, a handful of details were also outed. Check them both out below.
“- Unprecedented narrative: Patriots’ storyline explores an ultra-realistic what-if scenario inspired by real events and characters. The game will allow players to experience events from multiple perspectives creating an unprecedented level of immersion.
– A new threat for a new team: Terrorism has evolved and Team Rainbow must face an organized militia of home-grown insurgents. As the leader of a new squad, players will wrestle with difficult ethical decisions and determine if the doing-whatever-it-takes mentality is needed to stop the enemy.
– Enhanced squad management: At the press of a button, the Rainbow squad will perform the most efficient and deadly tactic given the context of the situation. When extreme measures are required, or when players call for it, you can take full control of your squad to plan the perfect assault.
– Evolved combat: The game’s combat techniques have been pushed to the next level with cover and weapon systems redesigned to accommodate every combat situation. New Rappel and Breach mechanics are now enriched with multiple new techniques including Wall & Ceiling Breach, Fast Rope Rappel, inverted ‘Aussie Style Rappel’, Infiltrate & Subdue, to name a few.
– Intense multiplayer experience: Players will be rewarded for working as a team and mastering the game’s new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates. Once such feature found in the pre-game online lobby is the Sandtable, a holographic display that helps acquaint players with the level maps before they jump into the action. This will help players strategically coordinate attacks and add a new dimension to squad tactics.
– Surprise and overpower enemies: Utilize the game’s new Scan mode to strategically breach and infiltrate areas. This new tool will provide a thermal read on the situation, allowing you to determine the squad’s best course to overwhelm and defeat enemies.”
It’s about time we saw Rainbow Six return to show everyone how a tactical shooter is made. What would you like to see added to the upcoming R6 title?

December 1, 2011 at 11:09 AMAccording to interviews with the Devs of this game, it is going to have:
Magical 3rd person cover view allowing you to see over walls without being seen
An “Instinct Icon” to magically tell you an enemy can see you
Health Regeration
and most likely the other crutches from Vegas for a 10 year old gamer like “grenade indicator” to tell you a grenade landed nearby.
Unless they release a HARDCORE option to disable all that and a map editor so we can have more than just 10-12 maps, they can keep this crap.
Things need to go back to the way they were for Ravenshield with lean/prone, gimping, map editors that allowed hundreds of great player made maps, and a stand alone dedicated server that allowed you to set every option.
