Rainbow Six: Siege Won't Have A Single Player

Rainbow Six: Siege is a neat game, and the heavy focus on tactical considerations is very against the grain for a modern shooter. The game really could be an online hit, if the market is ready for it come December.

However, if you were hoping there was more to it than multiplayer, you might be disappointed. Speaking to PCGamerN at EGX, art director on the game Scott Mitchell said:

There is no story mode per se. You go through training, where you get to experience different operators and their devices. You can play against enemy AI in co-op through all the maps. You can customise matches, so that's what we're offering on the single-player side of things

It's a pretty good training ground, and on top or that you're unlocking the same content as you would playing in PvP. You're still gaining Stars, Renown Points, and new operatives

In a vacuum, I would be fine with the developers deciding that their 'vision' didn't include a story mode. However, this is becoming more and more popular practice and most examples we have seen so far from games that don't include one are not overly successful. I hate to see good ideas go to waste. We will have to see how this shakes out though.
