Patch Note Alpha Rainbow Six

    Intel:

        Version of the Closed Alpha is 0.1.0

        The air-plane map, named “Plane”, has the following (named) zones: Seating Journalist, Bathroom, Exterior, Cargo, Cargo Entrance, First Aid, Cargo Room A, Cargo Room B, Military Seating, Stairs Cockpit, Kitchen Prep, Seating Staff,

        The plane map has the following CAMs in “Support Mode” (after one’s death): Luggage Hold, Cabin Staff, Main Corridor, (plus atleast 2 more)

        The designated names of different areas (above) will be helpful in planning out a round and in voice-comms

        The map is huge! The plane is also very huge with detailed in-door environments (with fantastic lighting), multiple floors etc.

        CTUs: GIGN (atleast 3 CTUs will be in the closed-alpha)

        Primary Weapons: MP5 MLI (stock color in closed-alpha is golden), P90, 591A1, FAMAS G2, K33 NATO, G36C,

        Secondary Weapons: NP-9, Model 586, MAC11, 226 MK25, M45 MEUSOC,

        Gadgets: Barbed Wire (hurts and slows down attackers), Sledgehammer (a breaching hammer to breach through destructible surfaces), Deployable Shield (crouch-height cover that blocks all weapon damage), Breach Charge, Stun Grenade, EMP Grenade (disables any electronics in range), Shock-Drone (disables traps and also shocks enemies), Frag, Bonfire Launcher,

        Defenders / Attackers Types: Recruit (can be picked by more than one player and has the most customization options), Thatcher (Attacker – UK flag on his arm), Twitch (Attacker – WIP, plus a GIGN tag on his arm), Sledge (Attacker), Ash (Attacker – probably the female operator), (a total of 11 types are available, recruit is common to both Attacker and Defenders, plus 5 unique types for both Attacker / Defender, each)

        Moreover, each kit has a specific icon

        Each Defender / Attacker / CTU type has a specific “bonus” ability: Recruit (Croix Rogue – Improved revive ability), Thatcher (Gas Mask – Damage received from smoke is reduced and also no coughing will happen)

        Knifing is confirmed!

        Grenade explosion has a deafening effect that lasts around 5 seconds or so

        Scoring Points: Barricading: +5, Injure: +50, Injure Assist: +50, Confirm Kill: +50, Kill Assist: +75, Kill: +100, Headshot: +50, Gadget Destroyed: +10,

        Barricading can be destroyed by team-mates

        When injured, you can move/crawl to get to safety

        The voice-overs in the video were in English, but the accent was French

        The animation for climbing up ladders is not yet properly implemented, as it can been in the screenshot that there’s a gap between the player and ladder

        When hit, your screen gets zoom-blurred for a moment

        When an enemy player notices and shoots at you, you can see the white hit-direction-indicators on-screen

        This area shows the health of your player, and probably body-armor type/ status. The shirt icon probably shows that the player isn’t wearing any armour

        Magazine Reloading: If you have ammo 1/269 and you reload, you get to 31/239 (for the MP5 MLI). Moreover, the reload animation restarts if interrupted by another action

        DEATH REPLAY (aka 1st-person Kill-Cam) of around 7 seconds is shown after one’s death, which can also be “skipped”

        Additionally, there’s an END OF ROUND REPLAY as well

        A decisive round shows “MATCH POINT” on the top of timer-clock

        DAMAGE LOG (top-right) indicating the damage done by your killer is shown in the DEATH REPLAY screen

        End-of-Round screen shows ROUND GRAPH (time-line of kills etc.) and ROUND REPORT (scores, K/D, etc.)

        Some of the stuff shows WIP (work in progress). The textures also read “ALPHA” at some places on the map.
