But with more than five foes on your screen it does take a while to get used to constantly firing and transfering from target to target, something you have rarely needed to do before in Siege.
This means that the actual action of shooting still feels as satisfying as ever.
While the objectives and way you play Outbreak are very different to traditional Siege, this is of course all still in the same engine, and you play with the same operators that appear in the competitive multiplayer modes, albeit with a restricted amount.
Then a shout came from a teammate, who discovered you can shoot through the fence to knock them off as they are climbing, this revelation totally changed our luck, and constantly snapping onto climbing enemies only to see them fall 20 foot back back to the floor is incredibly satisfying. There is some elevated platforms to take the high ground, but for the most part you are stood on the floor, watching the hundreds of enemies scale the fence and charge right at you. You are trapped inside a small junkarary area, with large chain link fences around all four sides. Perhaps the best moment of my hands on with Outbreak came on the Junkyard mission. Sure there are multiple times when you have to plant a charge and defend it until it detonates, but the vastly different environments you do this in makes the tasks feel very different. Then when you make it to the next section of the mission you head into a little safe room and resupply, exactly like Left 4 Dead.įortunately it rarely feels like you are just being thrown down a corridor full of enemies for no real reason, with the mission objectives actually making sense and having a lot of variety. You and two teammates try to make it through any one of the three missions, passing through areas filled with what are effectively zombies, just with a little more colour and an alien heritage.Īs you pass through these levels you take on a variety of tasks such as escorting hostages, planting explosive charges and clearing the area of foes. In the most simplest of terms, Outbreak is pretty much what would happen if Ubisoft brought the rights to Left 4 Dead. This isn’t just some mini game that will come and go, this is almost an entirely new game, and I certainly wouldn’t complain if Ubisoft had just released it as a £20 standalone title. Then when you add in the fact this will only be available for four weeks it becomes almost unbelievable. This is almost like EA deciding to put Madden into FIFA. The fact that Rainbow Six Siege’s Outbreak mode exists in the first place is pretty amazing, because it is such a departure from what Siege is. Hands-on with Rainbow Six Siege: Outbreak, gameplay impressions, 3 new videos and screens of the evolution of Ubisoft's tactical shooter.
