Rainbow Six: Siege - 10 Things It'll Do Better Than Call Of Duty

2. Environmental Interaction

An element that's always been cornered by Battlefield yet never explored by CoD, Rainbow shouldn't be excluded from the destructible environment club. Quite sadly, the two most recent Battlefield releases have regressed from their emphasis on destructible environments once so prevalent in the Bad Company releases, which has left a pretty big hole for gamers looking to take out their pent up aggression on some poor defenceless buildings. Joking, of course. But Siege's environments are certainly worthy of note. Walls, floors, ceilings, windows - pretty much everything you could think off is malleable to the forces of war in this entry. Bullets rip through dry wall like paper, and breaching charges take off doors and floors with ease. Assaulting isn't as easy as it sounds however, as attackers have to be cautious lest they harm the hostage they're trying to save. More importantly however, is the way in which destruction can now influence the battlefield - as lines of fire can now be manipulated by the two opposing teams. Destructibility was never too prevalent in the last two Rainbow releases, but the devastatingly effective destruction in Siege is pretty spectacular in action.
Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
