Ubisoft releases new info for Tom Clancy's Raindow 6: Patriots

Ubisoft have today released additional details about the new features in Rainbow 6 Patriots. Along with the dynamic single-player storyline, Patriots will also introduce a huge variety of new innovative co-op and multi-player experiences.

At the press of a button, the Rainbow squad will perform the most efficient and deadly tactic given the context of the situation. When extreme measures are required, or when players call for it, you can take full control of your squad to plan the perfect assault.

The game’s combat techniques have been pushed to the next level with cover and weapon systems redesigned to accommodate every combat situation. New Rappel and Breach mechanics are now enriched with multiple new techniques including Wall & Ceiling Breach, Fast Rope Rappel, inverted ‘Aussie Style Rappel’, Infiltrate & Subdue, to name a few.

Players will be rewarded for working as a team and mastering the game’s new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates. One such feature found in the pre-game online lobby is the Sandtable, a holographic display that helps acquaint players with the level maps before they jump into the action. This will help players strategically coordinate attacks and add a new dimension to squad tactics.

Utilize the game’s new Scan mode to strategically breach and infiltrate areas. This new tool will provide a thermal read on the situation, allowing you to determine the squad’s best course to overwhelm and defeat enemies.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots is due for release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC in 2013.
