What did you enjoy more, Battlefront or Rainbow Six: Siege?

After playing both, I have to side with Rainbow Six: Siege by a landslide.

Battlefront doesn't simply have anything distinguishing itself from Battlefield (and it's a watered down version of BF) or other shooters.

The core mechanics are incredibly vanilla. Crouch, jump, shoot. Nothing more (apart from mounting turrets and occasional use of vehicles). No cover mechanics, no special moves or animations (like Unreal Tournament's sidestep), or anything like that. Rechargeable energy and no need to reload (I know these weapons are laser-based). Little variety among weapons. Very limited respawning system. Incredibly small maps and only 20vs20 players. On top of that there are no classes and if you want to shoot some aircrafts, you have to pray that a random powerup that you might stumble upon will feature a rocket launcher.

Like I said, it does very little to distinguish itself from Battlefield and other shooters.

On the other hand, Rainbow Six: Siege is not a gigantic departure from current crop of the FPS games, but it is a noticeable one nonetheless. You have to collaborate with others very efficiently or else YOUR TEAM WILL FAIL EVERY SINGLE TIME. You have to be creative with the usage of gadgetry/equipment and destruction of the environment and different classes TRULY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. You feel like YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. Even if you SUCK you also MAKE THE DIFFERENCE (for the other team). The game doesn't feel like it justifies its $60 price-tag, however, and might be suffering from lack of content in the long run, but it was by far more enjoyable, especially since it was free from this stupid CoD and BF mentality.

I just cannot imagine playing Battlefront for long months and even if it'll sell millions, there will for sure be several thousands or maybe even millions of people who will sell or trade this game shortly afterwards, unless they'll get stupefied by the game's leveling/unlock system which will make them go into OCD mode.

I have not yet played Siege, but it does look intriguing, I have longed for a slower, more realistically paced team shooter for a while.

But between Battlefront and Call of Duty Black Ops 3, Black Ops 3 won by a landslide.

I'm super excited for the campaigns of both games.

lol

I see what you did there ;)

On a side-note, the game's Horde mode (I'm not sure how it's called) seems to be in a higher resolution than the standard Multiplayer mode on the Xbone. If that Horde mode was still in 720p, then it was the best looking 720p in the history of humankind, but I have an impression that it was actually 900p.

Has anyone noticed that?

Battlefront all day everyday

Battlefront on some level can be justified in how simple it is, the lobotomized nature of Rainbow Six? No, that shit is insulting. Otherwise considering both are mp only games, I'm a little shocked they suck so much at it. Titanfall was lacking in content and didn't have a high enough skill ceiling, but it played fantastic. A little more depth to that mp, more modes, more mechs, and just a hint more crazy and that game would be the tits.

These other 2 would make me ask if the fun is being sold separately.

Halo>Siege>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else. Battlefront was fucking boring and a huge disappointment as a huge battlefield and star wars fan. Cod hasn't been good in years.

Definitely looking forward to Halo 5's mp way the **** more than the other 60 dollar mp games this year.

I agree with you fully on Titanfall but I while I also agree that R6 is watered down, at the same time I think it can still be fun and tactical in its own streamlined ways.

Rainbow 6 Siege without doubt. Battlefront feels like Battlefield for kids.

Stunning to look at, but terrible shallow almost pointless gameplay.

battlefront easily, i couldn't even access matches on r6 half the time.

Both kind of suck, but I'll say battlefront. Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical shooter that is compromised in its design to appeal to Call of Duty kids. Battlefront is not much better, but it atleast they clearly decided to make an arcade style game and stuck with it. Also the matchmaking in Battlefront actually works currently.

I didn't care for either one, but I'd have to say siege was a little better

Couldn't get a game on the PC with Siege when I tried, so Battlefront by default.

Battlefront all day erry day. What is Rainbow 6?

neither of them impress me (yet) to pick them up at full price near launch, but I'm siding with Star Wars Battlefronts 3 over Rainbow Six Siege, I only dabbled in the beta for Siege but the matchmaking was too broken for me even to gain any positive impression, hopefully when the game releases for both I'll see more full gameplay footage and maybe feel better about picking one of them up

I'm enjoying the Battlefront beta and had a lot of fun with the Black Ops 3 beta. Getting both games day 1. The Rainbow 6 beta was pure trash and didn't even function properly. I spent more time staring at menus than actually playing. The graphics looked like a last gen game too.

Ignored both. No time for crappy shooters after Destiny.

Siege but none of the two are worth $60.

The Seige easily. Beta was fun, it has a unique palette of character classes with assorted skills (to bad we couldn't play all the modes in beta) and it's a throw back to some semblance of tactics in shooters, since once you die you are dead for the rest of the match. Was kinda disappointed it didn't have dedicated servers on live though.

Definitely going to enjoy Battlefront more but Siege will get it's time with me also.

Played both, enjoyed both but I'll go with Battlefront since I don't trust Ubisoft for any kind of updates.

Let's wait a year and pick'em up for 15$ .

I missed the boat on Rainbow. Downloading Star Wars right now. Some of the best LAN parties I ever had where playing the old Battlefronts back in the day. I used to love the feel. Hope it doesn't disappoint!!!!

@mjorh: waiting a year to play shooters with rank systems isn't a good idea. Wait on single player RPGs yes every time. But not shooters where waiting means you are fighting fully geared/upgraded enemies with recruit weapons. You're not gonna have a good time.

12 yr old confirmed

You've got a point. You can catch up with them tho ....it's gonna be tough for a while but finally you'll get there. 60$ is just too much

Battlefront is basically a noob game. Siege is a serious competitive game, or at least it tries.

I haven't played BF much, but siege didn't really grab me

I have a feeling I will find both mediocre
