Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is a team based first person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is also a team based first person heart attack simulator that will make you more paranoid than all that dank you’ve been smoking.
HEY, THERE’S NO STORY! REEEEEEE!
Rather than tacking on a huge, complex single player campaign no one really cares about, Rainbow Six Siege keeps it simple with the latest game in the series. A new terrorist group called the White Masks have waged a war against the entire world, their goals are unknown, and their methods are despicable. A mysterious government figure called Six revives and reactivates the Rainbow Program to stop them. Despite what you may have read on the internet by

It’s batshit crazy. It’s Cthulhu. Just witnessing its majesty is enough to shred mortal psyches. I’ll attempt to detail my descent into madness below.
According to E-40, “Life is something you can’t borrow and give back; Here today and gone tomorrow…just like that” This dude must have played a lot of Siege, because every life is precious in this game. Human beings are fragile creatures, often dying after one or two well placed shots. This means every time you stick your neck out, there’s a chance you’ll be punished for it. This promotion of thoughtful, tactical gameplay is a welcome one. It also helps create Siege’s incredibly intense atmosphere and mood. Players have to be cautious and aware, sometimes so excessively that everyone jumps at shadows, leading to friendly fire. That’s right kids, you can kill everyone in this game, including your friends! Which I did. Repeatedly. But death isn’t always the end, once you’re killed, you’re actively encouraged to watch and control the strategically placed cameras across the map, making callouts and alerting your team to what you see can sometimes be instrumental to winning a game. And if the cameras are destroyed, you can still see the world through your teammates eyes and hopefully guide them along. Talking to my dead friends was my first step towards
The Pressure was high for the girls in the battle against Refugio. The team was up by 2, “It was a tough game,” Jurnee Peikert (9) said, “They definitely put up a fight”. Back and forth, the score for each team was neck and neck after each inning. No matter if they were on the field or in the dugout, the girls continued to support their teammates.
Historical Analysis Red Badge of courage reflects the time it takes place because it takes place during the civil war. The teenage boy wants to go fight in the war, which was common back then, because it brings you great honor. The Battle of Chancellorsville resembles the first battle Henry takes part in. When Henry runs away and finds himself in a forest it resembles this battle because it took place in a forest as well. Some strategies also appear in the book like splitting into two attack parties instead of one large one.
O’Brien then adds, “the way your eyes focus on a tiny white pebble or a blade of grass and how you start thinking, Oh man, that’s the last thing I’ll ever see, that pebble, that blade of grass, which makes you want to cry” (182). This statement encompasses the ultimate reality of facing death on the battlefield. People might even ask themselves what sort of heroic death they are departing with, and whether they are truly proud of their sacrifice in that moment of departure. The truth is, soldiers are not thinking about their country when they’re being shot at, they’re thinking about everybody they know, especially themselves and their fellow infantry mates fighting viciously beside them; and that is the main idea that O’Brien cleverly articulates as the tone of all the firefights they encounter in the
For example, in chapter 2 of Always Running, Luis Rodriguez says, “A deputy restrained me as the other one climbed onto the roof. He stopped at a skylight, jagged edges on one of its sides. Shining a flashlight inside the building, the officer spotted Tino’s misshapen body on the floor, sprinkled over with shards of glass” (Rodriguez, 37). This was the very first time Luis had witnessed his close friend die in front of him all because they trespassed the sign that read “ NO ONE ALLOWED AFTER 4:30 PM, BY ORDER OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT.” Death is a scary scene to see and especially that the fact it can haunt you for the rest of your life.
After Ted Lavender was shot in the head, his compadres “were waiting for Lavender’s chopper, smoking the dead man’s dope”, and joking about his death (20). If this calamity had happened in civilized society, the reaction would have been one of horror, disbelief, or grief, instead of their attempts to make light of death. To distance themselves from the death, they would use “a hard vocabulary” like “lit up, zapped while zipping” and “greased” to pretend that the death they see and make is just in a play-not real (22). As a rule, soldiers are supposed to be the toughest of the tough, but their response to death shows the loss of morality. For example, when Kurt Lemon died, Rat tortured the baby water buffalo because he was extremely upset.
When everyone thinks about war they cannot picture in their mind what it would be like out on a battlefield with a bunch of good friends, fighting side by side. They cannot picture the horrible and nasty sights you will see on a battlefield of men dying, their bodies being shot everywhere or being blown to pieces. Maybe from a movie they might have seen a battle or war, but it’s not even close to the same. They are people that you care for and love that have just been killed, live and in front of your face. You cannot do anything but watch them suffer and try to keep fighting.
Death is always associated with the occurrences of wars. No matter what, there is no escaping the fact that people will die in battle. Throughout the book The Things They Carried there are scenes of extreme violence, and heart crushing deaths. Witnessing someone you know being killed, or even killing someone you do not know is very traumatizing to a person and their life, but it's war and that is just how it is. Tim O’Brien uses many examples from the war for his story to emphasise the theme of Death, and violence and that no matter what it is no one's fault, and everyone fault.
This shows that although at the time of fighting, soldiers tend to lose their humanity as they depend upon their instincts to help protect themselves, in the end the situation is different. When face to face with an individual, the humanity trait kicks back in and no longer is killing perceived as a purpose. All that is felt is sympathy towards the
Death was Taboo. The word for getting killed was “wasted”. When you hit a Bouncing Betty and it blows you to bits, you get wasted” (O’Brien 136). In order to maintain a “normal” life, the soldiers had to mentally transform their thoughts on death
Have you ever wanted to create the explosive thrills of a Michael Bay action film? Better yet, have you ever wondered what it would be like to tether an enemy to a helicopter and then shoot it down with a rocket? Or, maybe, to ride a fuel canister high into the sky? Surely, the answer to these questions is a resounding ‘Yes’. Massive explosions, chaos, destruction, and fun are the name of the game, and that game is Just Cause 3.
Although the games can be misleading to kids to what’s right and what isn’t, or teach kids that violence is ok, these simulated games are a good way for kids to make close bonds with teammates, and even the community. It also teaches that perseverance is key to make a team
The characters I will be discussing in this book are Henry Fleming, Wilson, and Jim Conklin. The Red Badge of Courage is centered around a young man named Henry Fleming who decides at a young age to enlist in the military. Henry later discovers different sides of himself that he didn’t know even existed. Henry is burdened with the feeling of fear that he has and goes to other soldiers and tries to get them to admit that they are fearful as well.
The stakes are always high and tensions steadily rise. As less and less players remain in the game, anxiety and the appetite for victory surges upward. Players become lost in the game; it feels as if the virtual world is reality. While playing, nothing around matters, the only thought is the sweet taste of victory. Whether this goal is accomplished or not is solely in the hands of the player.
The most significant part of the book so far is when the group of friends find out that Josie is still alive. In the last book, they thought she died in a fight. The whole book is based around saving her from the concentration camp. This book reminds me of Divergent. Both books have a country at war.
First person. For centuries the notion of war as an exciting and romantic endeavor has existed until Stephen Crane DE glorified war in his novel The Red Badge of Courage. He tells about the true nature and experience of war through a young soldier Henry Fleming and contrasts it with his romantic imagination. Crane introduces a more realistic approach to war which is in contrast to Henry’s expectations.
