Rainbow Six: Siege - 10 Things It'll Do Better Than Call Of Duty
4. Tailored Gameplay For Different Players
Yes, it is possible to argue that CoD does this too, but at the end of the day gameplay always devolves into one of two things: either mindlessly running around or sitting in a spot taking pot-shots at enemy players halfway across the map. The lone-wolf styled gameplay may allow players to carve out some semblance of a unique playstyle in the form of kill streaks, but in the end all these do is alter the pace of gameplay in meaningless ways. In Siege each player comprises a part of a unit, and in doing so each has their own role to fill. This means that each class has a specific function, and each team member will be needed in order to execute a flawless victory. Whether this means being a sniper providing overwatch or being a shotgun-toting pointman - each member has their own purpose in the grand scheme of things. This makes carving out your own role far more meaningful than simply customising what boosts you bring to a lobby. Indeed, weapon and equipment choice has never been this important. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hd3X3Mesy8
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.
