<p>Fans of the <a href="https://www.cheatsheet.com/technology/the-10-best-first-person-shooters-of-all-time.html" target="_blank">first-person shooter</a> have a lot to look forward to this year. <em>Halo 5 </em>is finally coming out in late October, <a rel="noopener" href="http://www.cheatsheet.com/?s=black+ops" target="_blank"><em>Call of Duty: Black Ops III</em></a> is hitting in November, and then there’s <em>Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege</em> coming at the front of the pack with an announced release date of October 13. While all the action is going to present as much fun as any of us can handle, <em>Rainbow Six Siege</em> stands to be the one that offers the best mental workout while you play, and it could make the every other shooter look boorish and unrefined.</p>
<p><i>Rainbow Six Siege</i> looks to be a little bit <em>Counter-Strike</em>, a little bit <em>Battlefield</em>, and a lot of fun. From what has been shown so far, the game will focus on 5 v 5 matches that pit terrorists against counter-terrorists — the elite squad known as Rainbow and composed of ex-members of GSG9, Spetznaz, SAS, SWAT, and GIGN. Unfortunately the terrorists seem to have similar military experience. Previews mostly have shown off hostage scenarios, but new game modes are expected, and Terrohunt was shown off at E3.</p>
<p>If this is all sounding terribly like <em>Counter-Strike </em>so far, that’s because it is very similar. Both games emphasize gun skill, teamwork, and tense balance of speed and cautious patience. But then there’s the destructible environments. Doors, walls, enemy-placed barricades, and floors can be blown away with explosives and hammers — though maybe not to the extent everyone is hoping. A bullet hole that would be a simple digital decal in any other game can become a tactical peephole in <i>Siege</i>. And this is where things go from simply high action to high intelligence.</p>
