MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 13, 2015 We used to have great fun back in the day at LANs playing Rainbow Six: Rainbow Shield. We also did a bit of the original Ghost Recon, which Nath and I also had on Xbox. But the latter games, as seems to be the way, either reduced the numbers that could play at a LAN or took out LAN support completely, so I haven't really picked up any of the titles since. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post

Duckz 474 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 Beta access is being sent out. Just redeemed mine and currently pre-loading in Uplay. Go to top Share this post Link to post
MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 I followed the link in my email, but haven't received an actual code yet so can't put it into uPlay. Go to top Share this post Link to post
Duckz 474 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 The initial email I received earlier this morning had the subject "Help us with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege in our Technical Test". Once I followed the link in the email, I had to log into Ubisoft/Uplay website and got a confirmation. I also got a follow up email with the subject "Your access to the Technical Test is confirmed". Once you've done that, open up Uplay and the Beta will be in your games list. Go to top Share this post Link to post
PistolKnight 554 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 I got this message :- We will send you your access to the email address associated to your Uplay account when Closed Beta starts. But i did not "buy" beta access through another purchase / game Go to top Share this post Link to post
MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 Yeah, I had to wait for that second email Duckz. I can pre-load it now though. Thanks for the heads up. Go to top Share this post Link to post

Decroxx 815 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Ah right, so the 'Technical Test' has started now, but the 'Closed Beta' starts on the 24th. Seems strange to have a closed beta to your closed beta, but whatever. 2 Go to top Share this post Link to post

MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Well I'm MasterShrive on uPlay. I gave this a go this arvo and it actually ran quite well. The gameplay is pretty good too - very tense, but there's plenty of gadgets etc. to play with. The hardest part is actually finding a match. Pings are also high as the servers are in US. It's using matchmaking, but I don't know if that means P2P. Go to top Share this post Link to post
MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Nath, BP and I giving this a go now if anyone wants to join. Go to top Share this post Link to post
Psychosimo 152 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 yeah, I'm sorted - pre-loading now .. 7.8gb yuicks Go to top Share this post Link to post
MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 We had a crack, but couldn't get it to work with us in a squad. Not sure why Apparently this release isn't running on dedicated servers, but hopefully the full Beta will allow us all to join the same game. Go to top Share this post Link to post
Psychosimo 152 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 yeah I fired it up late last night, and discovered the match making and closed the game. I will have more of a look today/tonight Go to top Share this post Link to post
MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 The matchmaking isn't too bad, if it works quickly. But I'm certainly hoping that isn't a permanent feature. Go to top Share this post Link to post
Jibada 118 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 So i just signed up for the beta and now cant redeem a code so i just have to wait for them to give me access Go to top Share this post Link to post
PistolKnight 554 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 Did you do the training bit Jib - once completed I got a code, and it is acknowledged on my uplay account, but I have not been able to preload it yet (but I think others that have were because they made a purchase which included beta access) Go to top Share this post Link to post
MasterShrive 2,015 Report post Posted September 23, 2015 I haven't purchased the game or done that training thing, yet somehow got early access. I honestly don't know why. One thing I forgot to mention - the tutorial are actually worth watching. There's only three and they're only quick, but they explain some basics and might stop you from doing silly things. You also get some in game currency as well. Go to top Share this post Link to post
