“Rainbow Six Siege” is set to release its third year of DLC, titled Operation Chimera. Included in the DLC is Outbreak, a limited-time, co-op event featuring zombies. And yes, I’m not happy about it.
Wasted Resources
Ubisoft’s focus should be on the main game! How about bringing back maps that have been removed from the casual map rotation (Yacht and Favela) instead of creating a zombie mode? Hmmm, that’s a thought. However, there’s some good news, Gamespot reports Yacht will be making a season 3 return to causal–but Bartlett University is getting the boot. I’ll admit, Bartlett sucks but its removal proves that Ubi has interests elsewhere. Likely in this damn zombie BS. Stop goinking with the maps players have grown to–love might be a strong word–at least, respect!
Copy/Paste
Zombies from “COD,” “Left 4 Dead” and “Metal Gear Survive” come to mind when I look at Outbreak’s zombie models. That alone is insane and cringy.

This additional mode doesn’t mesh with the game’s beloved meta, plain and simple. Zombies invading a tactical shooter? Just doesn’t work if you ask me, a long-time player. The worst part, a flood of new players have been taking a liking to “Rainbow Six Siege” and they will probably really enjoy Outbreak. Ubisoft, seeing the success of Outbreak, then decides to put more energy into veering away from the game’s original design. It’s a slippery slope, plebs, a sliiippery slope. One second you love a game, the next it’s hot garbo on a Sunday evening.
If you think I’m kooky give me comment!
Watch how whack the Outbreak mode will be here:
