Contested deletion
This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because it is an upcoming major release from an established video game developer (Ubisoft). Dbrodbeck (talk) 15:26, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because the game has just announced by Ubisoft. It carried little details only

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because... (your reason here) --86.6.26.186 (talk) 19:57, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

There is very little known about the game right now so to avoid being repetitive the wiki article is short, however over time it will grow to a normal size as more info is released

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because...

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because as the game has just recently been announced, there may not be sufficient sources in order to complete the article in it's entirety. My recommendation would be instead to retain this article as a stub, until such a time as more information on the game is available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.245.70 (talk) 00:03, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because it has just been announced, and the developers have only announced a small amount of details, and so the game cannot properly be described — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.106.154.48 (talk) 03:16, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect Page Name
The name of this article is "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege" while the name of the video game this article is about doesn't have a colon: "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege". I advise that this article should be renamed and moved to the new location. 173.225.157.138 (talk) 02:05, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I agree, the official website does not have a colon.Jaardon (talk) 02:51, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect info regarding game engines in past games.
"The game uses Ubisoft's AnvilNext game engine, and is the first game in the Rainbow Six franchise since Rogue Spear not to use Epic's UnrealEngine." You are forgetting Rainbow six: Lockdown and Critical Hour from 2005/6. They used a proprietary engine called "Nimitz" that was made in-house. many ex-ubisoft employees from that time period who worked on those games have mentioned the engine in their resumes, and the pc port of Lockdown is packed full of references to "Nimitz" by viewing the files. which I can confirm are not the unreal engine formats in the slightest. It also has it's own editor for mapping called NED (Nimitz editor). 2601:6:3E81:961D:A5D1:B0C2:B60:7568 (talk) 01:48, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

June 2017 copyedit
and interested parties, I've completed copyedit on the article. Here are some notes: If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here. Thanks! – Reidgreg (talk) 22:09, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The attackers are then given control over wheeled drones with "drones" linked to Unmanned aerial vehicle. Is this right?  I'm not sure if the wheeled drones in the game can fly.  Please consider whether this should instead be linked to Unmanned ground vehicle, which includes things like those robots used to defuse landmines.
 * There were two sections named Gameplay (one at level H2 and one at H3). I changed the second one (within §Development) to Testing.  Feel free to change if there's a better but still fairly general term for it.
 * A closed alpha-testing was held by Ubisoft during April 7–13, 2015 should the alpha- and/or beta-testing go under Development/Testing rather than Release?
 * fixed the date of the Iranian Embassy siege to 1980 and wikilinked that and the Moscow theatre hostage crisis.
 * Box quotes are no longer recommended for articles, so I moved that large quote at the start of §Development into a block quote (MOS:BQ).
 * I feel there could be a short explanation about what "matchmaking" means in the context of the article. (I'm guessing this relates to assembling multiplayer teams on the game server.)
 * - Thank you very much for the in-depth copyedit and comments! AdrianGamer (talk) 04:32, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! Sounds like an interesting game, and copyediting the article satisfied my gaming fix for the week! – Reidgreg (talk) 12:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Operation Blood Orchid

 * should the section of "Downloadable content and expansion packs" under Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege have mentions of Operation Blood Orchid, or should it be waited upon until an official detailed/formal announcement is made?  Adog 104  Talk to me 21:59, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I wanted to recommend changing the "The Counter Terrorism Units (CTUs) available for play include the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, the British SAS, German GSG-9, Russian Spetsnaz and French GIGN, each of which has four operators per unit." section under Gameplay into "The Counter Terrorism Units (CTUs) available for play include the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, the British SAS, German GSG-9, Russian Spetsnaz and French GIGN, each of which has four operators per unit. With the release of several DLC(downloadable content) expansions, players also have access to the Canadian JTF-2, American Navy SEALs, Brazilian BOPE, Japanese SAT, Spanish GEO, Polish GROM and Korean 707th SMB, each with two operators available for selection.

Although the article references the DLC operators later in the text, I feel it is best to say it early on as well to avoid confusion. Goyigan (talk) 17:14, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Can you please change operation Chimera's release date to March 6th due to the fact that the outbreak mode is coming along with it and on UBISOFT's YouTube channel they posted a trailer for the outbreak mode and at the end it says it will run March 6th-April 3rd.

Lead section player counts
As it stands the mention of 25 million registered players is misleading after further specifying Initial sales were weak, but the game's player base increased significantly as Ubisoft adopted a "games as a service" model for the game and subsequently released several packages of free downloadable content. because this increase to 25 million does not strictly reflect sales. The game only has 25 million registered users after at least 4 free-to-play periods when millions of accounts were created. Ubisoft uses this statistic for marketing purposes without further details and Wikipedia should provide a neutral point of view instead of simply repeating it without qualification. To give the reader the full picture I want to propose adding a qualifier to the statement like: Two years after the game's initial launch and multiple free-to-play periods, the game had 25 million registered players. 84.185.14.138 (talk) 03:03, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Any reason why none of the game's controversies aren't mentioned on this article?
Is there a particular reason why none of the many, well documented controversies surrounding Rainbow Six Siege have been listed on the article?

As an unbiased and open encyclopedia this article really ought to mention the following controversies (at a minimum):


 * The introduction of Lootboxes years after the game was released
 * Permanently banning people who have paid for the game for using racial slurs in a 16+ rated game - a lot of false flags have been reported (such as Spanish players being banned for using the word Negro, which of course translates as black)
 * Worldwide censoring of the game in order to appease the Chinese government and release the game there
 * Removal of existing content (the map "Tower") — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.41.73 (talk) 17:24, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Where are the reliable secondary sources covering these well documented controversies? You can find a list of suitable sources at WP:VG/RS. -- ferret (talk) 23:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

"Matches last only four minutes for a casual and three minutes for a ranked" should now be updated to "Matches last only three minutes and thirty seconds for a casual and three minutes for a ranked" as of operation burnt horizon "the Action phase now lasts 3:30, allowing for an intermediary step between Newcomer and Ranked." I also propose that 'Matches' in that sentence should be replaced with 'Rounds' as a match is a collection of rounds and it's duration therefore varies. Tom2551 (talk) 14:39, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Article for operators
Hey y'all, I'm fairly new to the video game side of Wikipedia (I mainly do electronic music) but i've recently put togethor a draft for a potential article for Caveira. This is because I belive that some, if not most, operators in the game are notable enough to have their own articles, especially Ash, Blitz, Lesion, basicly any operator who is popular and is very well known within the R6 community. To demonstrate this, I have written up what is essentially a proposal and a template for future articles, with this one being on Caveira. Why Cav? Well, I main her so I'm a bit biased and also that she has gotten a lot of tweaks and is basically just really well known. In Cav's article I basically put in what she does, who she is, any nerfs/buffs, etc. Came around to around 50 references, which is good.

However, I have basicly no experience with video game character articles, so I have no idea what's good and what isn't and what can be changed and improved. This is why I made a draft, to get your help. Hopefully the article is good enough to be moved to the main space. If not, then oh well. If you could take the time to read the short draft, change it or leave a comment in the talk page that would be great. Micro (Talk) 07:28, 24 July 2019 (UTC)


 * It looks good thou, move it into mainspace and let the patroller review it :). 210.171.80.245 (talk)
 * Submit it to AFC so it's reviewed first. Most operators are not going to be notable. A list article is more likely. -- ferret (talk) 00:23, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Submitted. I will agree with you where most operators won't get an article and would instead just get a list, though I do believe that some very well known operators (such as the aforementioned Ash and Blitz) could potentially get articles of their own, especially since I've found a good 40 to 50 references for Caveira alone.

Information about Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile
I think somewhere in the article should appear information about Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile, a game for Android and IOS that was announced on April 5, 2022, the mobile version of this title that even already had an Alpha. Perhaps the available platforms should be expanded.

Video Driver Update
I just got this Game, and I am only getting 1 frame per second on my laptop. I bought it using the Ubisoft store and Ubisoft keeps saying that I need to update my video driver for optimal performance. I have an ASUS VivoBook with an AMD RADEON graphics card and an AMD RYZEN 400 Series processor, I need help getting this game to work on my laptop. Any suggestions on video drivers that I can install to make my games run faster? Vanny Gaming (talk) 18:34, 23 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I'd recommend checking out the AMD website, I know you can download driver updates from there. I should let you know that this is the talk page for the wikipedia article, not a help desk for tech issues. ― TUNA × 16:55, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Additional collaboration from other Ubisoft studios
Ubisoft Blue Byte (Düsseldorf and Mainz) have also collaborated on the development of the game.
