6. Rainbow Six: Siege - Team Balancing
As much as Ubisoft wants you to think that everyone who'll be playing the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege will be militaristic, coordinated SWAT teams, the reality is that many of the players will be loud-mouthed, thirteen year old lone wolves. Unfortunately, while Siege's focus on tight squad play and quick, reactionary tactics will be a dream come true for any player with a dedicated group of friends, the eventual release could be an absolute nightmare for potential buyers without that luxury. The quick time-to-kill and lack of respawns means that Siege's flagship online modes are going to need a squad of people working together efficiently if it's going to play anywhere near as good as it looks in the trailers. In the run up to release it's going to be absolutely essential that Ubisoft balances out the online portion of the game so it feels as satisfying for individual players as it does for tightly-knit squads.
