Rainbow Six: Siege Vs Counter Strike: Global Offensive

Rainbow Six: Siege Vs Counter Strike: Global Offensive

When Rainbow Six Siege released, I saw many gamers debating whether or not to get Siege as it looked really similar to Counter Strike: Global Offensive. To be honest I was one of them. However, after playing the game a couple of times I can confidently say that I and many gamers who shared the same thought were wrong. So here are the three major differences between CS:GO and Siege.

1. Gameplay

Gameplay in Siege and CS:GO is quite different, for example CS:GO allows you to choose the place were you would like to plant the bomb when you are playing as a terrorist, it can either be Alpha (A) or Beta (B). In Rainbow Six: Siege that’s not possible as when you spawn in as ‘Defenders’ you’ll see the bomb in the ‘Default’ room and you cannot move it or anything. The only thing which you can do is barricade the room, plant traps if your operator has this ability.

This brings me to the second difference- In CS:GO you can do no such thing. You can not barricade, you can’t use any special ability because there is no such thing in CS:GO. The most you can do is take cover, hide and wait for the opposition players to come.

2. Loadouts and Guns

In CS:GO you can choose from variety of guns depending on how much cash you earned, be it a Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, SMG etc. However, in Siege you don’t have such choices as different operators come equipped with different guns. Some have two guns from which only one can be selected per round, while some have only one primary weapon. You do have some customization options for the guns, for example, you can put a scope, laser sight, etc.

3. Breaching and Other Features

In Siege when the round starts, if you’re in the ‘Attackers’ team you’ll have 20-30 seconds to send out drones with which you have to find the bomb and mark the enemies. While if you’re in the defending team you would have to reinforce walls, use jammers, which kind of disable the drones (this is special ability of a specific operator).

While in CS:GO the only preparation you can do is hold the bomb sites, throw flash if you think the enemies are coming from that place and smoke to block the enemy’s line of view. This is what even the attacking team can do. There is no spying feature like in Siege in CS:GO. However, there is some time given at start of a round in CS:GO in which you can buy equipment.

So these are the major differences between Rainbow Six: Siege and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
