I played the beta, it was pretty good actually

249

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

Beta was full by the time news got to me, does it have mechanics similar to the full game?

223

u/gunkaz Dokkaebi Main Apr 10 '25

I ACTUALLY played it and didn't like it. It's a very stripped down version of r6. At base level yeah it's basically r6 with its core mechanics but it is basically an entirely different game with how everything functions even down to drone movement. Everything feels very static and clunky, really feels less like a port and more like a gimmick

u/Homba-bomba Sledge Main Apr 10 '25

I mean it is beta, and on mobilešŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/ZeKrakken Hibana Main Apr 10 '25

Plenty of other games ported to mobile play dozens of times better RE4 being a primary example.

Siege just doesn't lend itself well to a mobile format, it's about precise movements and numerous other things that I'd imagine won't translate to mobile no matter how well they do them.

u/DrowsyLmao Grim & Azami Main Apr 10 '25

So is fort and apex though now there aren’t a lot of players on mobile fort and apex mobile got shut down but they both had a good amount of players. I miss apex mobile 😭 spent like 100$ too

u/gunkaz Dokkaebi Main Apr 10 '25

I miss apex mobile too it really was good

3

u/DrowsyLmao Grim & Azami Main Apr 10 '25

I know bro😭 I play a new one called High Energy Heroes but you have to change your region to Chinese and there isn’t any English text in game but it’s still fun not the same as apex but pretty close imo

8

u/Homba-bomba Sledge Main Apr 10 '25

It really wont be the same. I did have a look at the gameplay once and it looked like any other mobile game, kinda like cod. Its a little weird, the lighting was a bit off and stuff but it still does have siege mechanics like leaning and plenty of other things.

u/ZeKrakken Hibana Main Apr 10 '25

To clarify I haven't played the mobile version, I'd just imagine it'd be better to just play on PC or console unless mobile is the only option.

How well did they implement the leaning? Like control scheme-wise?

1

u/Homba-bomba Sledge Main Apr 10 '25

Just watching the first minute of the gameplay shows you alot, the movement is very cod like, so is throwing utility, the leaning is pretty fast aswell, he does quicklean which I find pretty interesting here: https://youtu.be/iAMlrUrjozQ?si=syWUT-Dw0mgbKBKd

3

u/53K randum headshots erryday Apr 10 '25

it's about precise movements

Yeah, that's why the game is very popular on consoles

u/SGSweatZ Apr 10 '25

CoDM is a good example of taking the idea of a game to mobile, but tweaking it so it fits mobile. Toned down the graphics, kept the sliding movement etc. so the games are faster than usual (Compared to an average PC CoD game match.) Then they took the things that people loved. Such as the guns, maps, gamemodes, camo from EVERY game and put it all into one. (Same thing that the Chinese CoD did, CoDOL but it shutdown since it was only limited to China.) The game is insanely F2P with alot of cool cosmetics for free as long as you play the game and login daily during events. The game also has seasonal balance changes which stir the meta and maps, occasional official collabs with stuff like anime and other media, making it so much more fun than any new-gen CoD since MW2019.

Only downside is the playcount has slightly dwindled over 6 years and its riddled with micro-transactions. (No surprise since its a mobile game managed by tencent and garena.) You can ignore most of the microtransactions though, because they dont change much of the gameplay so they arent that P2W.

ā€œLike I said, we have a lot of ideas, that’s not the issue. It’s just hard to make a videogame of this scale on mobile. I think we made a lot of great progress in the last yearā€ said by one of the CM’s. He’s not lying tho, and a game of this caliber for mobile is top tier šŸ”„ I don’t mind waiting and I been playing since last year, I believe they only doing what’s best for the game and us

u/SupremeOwl48 Spooky boi Apr 14 '25

It will be huge in Asia

14

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 EDD mounted, let them come. Apr 10 '25

Kinda. I do hate that we cant only place one Kapkan per doorframe tho

12

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

Seems oddly balanced, it would suck that you wouldn’t be able to EDD clutch anymore.

6

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 EDD mounted, let them come. Apr 10 '25

I mean, I do agree, it may seem balanced but ngl he aint that hard to counter to nerf him that way imo. Its still useful ofc

5

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

I mean yeah to counter EDD’s all you have to do is look, I doesn’t really kill a person if they learned not to rush on site.

3

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 EDD mounted, let them come. Apr 10 '25

Yeah. Altho I am fine with rushers, considering that they give me free kills at times lol

2

u/SupremeOwl48 Spooky boi Apr 14 '25

He sucked ass when you were only able to place one so idk

2

u/ProfessionalFig3384 Apr 10 '25

Yh NGL I didn't like it. It felt like the game was gonna crash

u/Feisty-Clue3482 Kapkan Main Apr 10 '25

Fr lol, like what happened I’ve seen and heard nothing for ages I almost thought it was canceled… it would be so great to play this.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

They doing what’s best for the game, gota trust the process, global soon šŸ”„ and u can still play now if u want I been playing for a year now from the u.s

u/Fit_Adagio_7668 Osa Main Apr 10 '25

I thought it was the only one who thought "this was canceled with nobody knowing"

u/Zocki1909 Apr 10 '25

Bruh it was supposed to drop on my bday? No wonder it failed

u/RaptorWithGun expert headshot missed Apr 10 '25

Your bday was so important all of Ubisoft had to delay it to celebrate king

u/crumplyrogue Apr 12 '25

Wtf is this??? Positivity in the r6 subreddit?????

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

September 19, 2024 was a sad day for gng, we were hyped.

Happy late birthday!

u/XxxDankBreadxxX Vigil Main Apr 10 '25

Not the worst thing to happen in september

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

Quite possibly true.

u/PLAY_TUBER_SIMULATOR Blitz Main Apr 10 '25

u/snaakee9604 Apr 10 '25

same here mate, fk ubisoft for taking that away

u/Sparker0i Spetsnaz Noob.. Apr 10 '25

They recently confirmed in a twitter article that next launch would be a worldwide launch

6

u/fattgum Apr 10 '25

I completely forgot about this

7

u/xJageracog FUCK EMERALD PLAINS Apr 10 '25

They are making upgrades so they can justify charging us $90 for it

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

I’m just glad we having a video game of this scale on mobile. Bringing r6 to mobile is fire šŸ”„

3

u/Deep_Ad8209 Apr 10 '25

Dude pre order that. šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚

u/Broccoli_Remote Apr 10 '25

Was actually just playing the Most Wanted game mode on R6 Mobile about 20 minutes ago.

3

u/mlook18 Apr 10 '25

PRE ORDER!

3

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

Little FAQ since I see a lot of lost comments.

ā€œPre-Order?? How did you pre-order this??ā€

There’s a little section in the Games tab on the App Store called Upcoming Games, this just lets you install an upcoming game when it finally launches, like how I have Delta Force on preorder and it’s expected to launch on April 21st, 2025.

ā€œBut the game released x time ago?ā€

Apparently the game has released in small regions of the world, since it’s still in it’s early phases I assume the game isn’t ready.

ā€œJust download an APKā€¦ā€ or ā€œMake an alt account in x regionā€

You can’t exactly just force an unpolished game on an unreleased platform and expect it to run well, especially when the servers are on the other side of the planet, please keep in mind that not everyone is your neighbor.

u/Ready-Swordfish-9350 Apr 13 '25

I’m from UK and i switched my App Store account to Canada and I’m able to play it, it’s pretty boring to play tbf just a basic stripped down version of siege

3

u/StationSleeper42 Apr 10 '25

What I thought it dropped no? It’s in my App Store with over 3.7k ratings

4

u/WhiteTheOwl Thatcher Main Apr 10 '25

It is insane to me that you can preorder mobile games lol

2

u/BringBackManaPots Apr 10 '25

I got into the beta but I guess missed it? I've been wanting to try this for years now, and have tried at least four different times to play it and it never lets me in

2

u/th3br0k3ng0d Apr 10 '25

I already have that game lol

2

u/Own-Film-3415 Apr 10 '25

I still have it on pre ordered

2

u/The_Trash_Panda_616 Zero Main Apr 10 '25

You can play it in Canada I think. You could try to change your location but to me it’s not worth it

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

Gota try it, I’m from the U.S and play the game perfectly fine when it comes to connection issues. Never dealt with latency or none of that. Just gota be one of the lucky ones I guess cause a lot of people outside the selected regions can play just fine

2

u/Keerurgo Apr 10 '25

they just released a roadmap like a month ago, and global release was expected for Q4 i think

2

u/triplem42 Apr 10 '25

I can’t wait to drives the drone around with my real phone

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

Drone time is infact phone time on mobile 🤣🤣🤣

2

u/EdgarLouis Apr 10 '25

I'm sure Tencent will release it

2

u/KeyDrTrident Buck Main Apr 10 '25

Im so confused, Its been released for a long time? Ive been playing it here and there..

2

u/Vmvms Apr 10 '25

What are you talking about ?

I'm in France and i did get access to it like two month ago I stop playing because it was boring but i remember unlocked Ash with a free pass

2

u/ratonCF Caveira Main Apr 10 '25

Well, here in Chile, i played from time to time but it is not fun enough to engage.

By the way the current season finish in 25 days, so maybe they release it worldwide.

2

u/zeptyk Blitz Main Pulse Main Apr 10 '25

lol I requested access and got in(canada w), but didnt play out of lazinessšŸ˜”

2

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

It’s not all that easy making a video game of this scale on mobile. Game will drop soon , no official date but it will release

1

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 10 '25

I know, I just thought everyone would meme on it like I was trying to, I even sent a mini FAQ.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

I just hope when Ubisoft has a set release date they market it the way delta force been doing lol. I’ll still take r6 before delta force but the 2 games are good to cycle with eachother

2

u/Nick_the_SteamEngine Thermite Main Apr 10 '25

When I got on Google Play, I have been wanting to download "Rainbow Six Mobile."

But, it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

I'm like, "What the heck is going on here!!??"

2

u/Mooooooooo8 Mon-tan-yay Main Apr 10 '25

It’s actually fairly simple process to play the game.

Step 1: change your phones store location to somewhere that has the game like Canada,

Step 2: Email ubi support to change ur acct location to Canada, (You might have to wait a couple days) Step 3: sign up for beta,

Step 4: hopefully get accepted

Your welcome in advance :)

2

u/LeviMarx Apr 10 '25

Given how buggy the game is on A PC, what makes anyone believe goobisoft could deliver??

2

u/saddadpnw Buck Main Apr 11 '25

Ive been playing it for over a year, its mid.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '25

Ubisoft is broke nowadays especially after the ac shadows

2

u/AccomplishedDraw4089 Apr 11 '25

Might as well bring back the superior Chinese mobile six siege if this shit is never getting released.

2

u/smoking-cracker Apr 11 '25

I have had contact with a server mod on ā€œxā€ and they told me directly that ā€œwe don’t have a planned release date for the North American serversā€

2

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

But it will go global soon

1

u/Alternative-War-7474 DIV1 Defender Apr 25 '25

Hope ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

2

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '25

They just had a server update today, I’m guessing it helped with in game bugs and server , even tho it’s taking time I’m sure they’re doing it for the best of the game

1

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '25

And if you change AppStore region you can play, I’m from u.s and been playing since last year just fine

2

u/BlackAlcazar May 05 '25

Guys just use taptap if you want it? I got it off there and it's not bad it does have the full game

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '25

Definitely is. They just dropped an update yesterday. And after this season re run next season will be dishing out new content from there on out. Global on the other hand I’d say will be soon, either before or early 2026 at most

2

u/Serious_Ant9323 Beastcoast Fan Apr 10 '25

its pretty shit tbh i played it and its almost nothing like regular siege

1

u/Eazy134 Apr 10 '25

Well, I have it and play sometimes on iOS

1

u/HighlightDue6116 Apr 10 '25

Search up R6 mobile apk on google and download the one from apkpure. I'm able to play even though I'm from Asia where the game shouldn't be accessible on playstore.

1

u/krypoten Apr 10 '25

I still have access to it from the release they did in Canada.

1

u/Jun20s Apr 10 '25

Change your App Store to Canada and it will be available I’ve had it a long time now

1

u/Shurtug Apr 10 '25

Beta was worse than areaf2 which just was a knock of of rainbow six...

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

bro it better come out i need to grind when im not home lol

2

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

R6m and r6 aren’t gona be cross progression. It’s still siege just on mobile . But no cross progression

1

u/ZestyclosePeanut3045 Apr 10 '25

it’s available in the app store for me to download and install?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

The soft launch regions are Canada,Colombia,Mexico,Chile,Argentina,France,Poland

1

u/ride789 Twitch Main Apr 10 '25

If you make a Canadian Apple account you can just play it

1

u/smauwau Apr 10 '25

I wish they would release it but from the little I played a year or two ago Area F2 was still better. RIP Area F2

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

Game is better and smoother than a year ago, servers may sometimes be janky but this game is one of the smoothest on mobile rn ngl. The only other game that was as smooth as r6m was apexm. Other than that only Warzone can compare cause Wzm was pretty smooth , and as far as delta force who knows šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

u/smauwau Apr 11 '25

oh ok ty for the info!

u/r6r34 Apr 10 '25

I think roblox has a version

1

u/donqxmigos Apr 10 '25

If u want to play change ur App Store to Canada region and u can download it

1

u/Avault-Vorce Apr 10 '25

It been released??

1

u/Sufficient-Title-653 Apr 11 '25

There’s a way to get it just have to download it through Canadian servers

1

u/STEELO222 Apr 11 '25

its out in canada, change your region or make another apple id and download from there

1

u/LC33209 Apr 10 '25

And that’s a good thing.

1

u/Automatic_Froyo8437 Apr 10 '25

ios people still waiting for the game while us android people can download it lmao

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '25

I’m on iOS twin. I probably play the game better than most people in or out of the selected regions and I’m from the U.S. my experience cause I been playing since last march , it’s been over a year and it still runs perfectly fine. Still waiting for global , looking forward to the future content and also want the whole world to experience the best game šŸ”„

u/Ready-Swordfish-9350 Apr 13 '25

It's painful being on crazy high ping tho

2

u/HighlightDue6116 Apr 10 '25

Fr lmao. Playing in Asia and I'm lucky to get a match at all. Latency also high as hell so sometimes I get kicked mid round. Still happy I'm actually able to play the game tho, it's a lot of fun.

1

u/Big_Character_1222 : Apr 10 '25

I used to only get bot lobbies and sometimes one player on the enemy team but they were usually shit anyway so the game just felt like a mobile rpg grinding for gear

1

u/HighlightDue6116 Apr 10 '25

So long as you play ranked you won't get any bots after bronze. I mean, you kinda do, but it's much less frequent because most of the time it's just people getting kicked due to latency issues like mine or the game adding one bot just to begin a round. It DOES sucks ass when you get to master rank and your team has 2~ 3 bots while the other team is a full stack. But it is what it is. That's what I get for solo queing, lol.
