  1. I enjoyed reading your step by step on how to play Ranked in Rainbow Six Siege. It was simple to understand what goes on during a match! Unfortunately, I've classified myself as a wimp. I can't play video games with the most minimal amount of violence because I tend to freak out. I wish it wouldn't startle me so much, because I think I'd enjoy playing this. I believe someone who is familiar with this game would definitely understand your How-To blog if they've just begun ranked. I'm too much of a newbie, so it took me a while to comprehend. I don't know if there's any more detail you can add, but if you could, that would be nice. Other than that, your post was pretty cool.

  4. This blog helps the noob get started on the process of strategizing a plan of attack in this game. A couple questions arise though. For example, how do you defend against people using your same tactics? What is the "unique gadget" you speak of?
