With the help of my friend Aqwis, I got my hands on a beta key for the game in the title, which several of us tried out. Below I’d like to summarize my experiences.

Here’s a video I made about the game:

First of all, the game itself kept me engaged, which is presumably because it wasn't made for hardcore gamers (at least not as hardcore as the earlier Rainbow games). My first issue started with the fact that the game is on Uplay, which is a pretty big black mark, since I think Uplay is a pile of misfortune and a crime to integrate into games.

The game has two game modes (for now, in the beta): one is terrorist hunt, where you have to clear a house of terrorists, with up to 5 players. It’s a fairly entertaining game mode, but the kamikaze terrorists are quite annoying. Partly because the game’s netcode is PRETTY TERRIBLE, and partly because if you have a shield, you have no chance of escaping, and shooting back with this netcode is pretty difficult.
