Bank bonus fact: Since the building does not have a bathroom, employees were so desperate for a bathroom, they dug a tunnel to the sewers to relieve themselves.

[@QuickTux]

They call it the Wall Street wizz😂

[@mr.content2720]

I believe the presidential plane map is based off a real GIGN operation aboard Air France Flight 8969 when terrorists hijacked the plane. Might be a cool idea to add for part 2!

[@bxpolar.mp4]

Rest in peace Bartlett University, honestly a great map. Us OGs will for sure miss you.

[@edoardozanichelli4517]

A little detail on Villa: if you look in the direction of the city, with a Acog or a x3.0 scope, at the top of the tower you can see a shadowy figure similar to Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed!

[@botcherbutcher7608]

And on a fountain on one of the spawns you can see an assassin's creed symbol as well

[@bjarneb8966]

My most hated map is Canal, because I literally work there xD in real-life, the actual location isn't as high-tech as shown in-game, actually, there's currently an agency in the building.

[@ToiletGrenade]

I'm really disappointed they changed the aesthetic design of Oregon when they reworked it, it really watered down the references to the Waco siege which deserves way more attention.

[@pickle7433]

They should honestly keep both in the game for customs

[@ToiletGrenade]

@@pickle7433 This at the very least, but ideally pre reowork maps in their own playlist / quick match.

[@CopperLegend1]

With operation heavy mettle, tower just got a loooot more lore. It’s even damaged in a ton of areas on the outside to represent the raid

[@jel1y27]

7:00 a easter egg in favela is that the fireworks as alarms if the police is coming to warn the gangs and civilians to hide or to get home

[@allancoelho6905]

Favela is also based in Rocinha, a slum neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, you can notice that based on the geography around the map

[@SkilledRBL]

I miss playing Bartlett University. That map was so fun and had so many different points of entry. Truly a great time in siege history

[@bluntbbm1085]

Bartlett was and still is my favourite map. Wish they will just put it back in at some day, I loved this map

[@charliecaira7205]

I remember my favorite cav rat spot was under the window in the back of the 2nd floor library if i remember correctly. Got so many rat kills as attackers were entrying through that top window

[@majortom1155]

if you look closely emerald plain's layout are pretty much the university

[@RPWStudios]

You forgot to mention that consulate's look is based on Iranian embassy in London where Operation Nimrod took place.

[@Corvid_19.]

Consulae is specifically a French consulate in the Ivory Coast (Cote D'Ivoire) we are able to see this in the flags on the vehicles

[@chrissaiko2626]

Didn't realized how detailed these maps is until eagle or 3rd person omniscient point is activated, if you go up more it looks so realistic like a google cam or a photo taken.

[@QuickTux]

7:45 I looked this up a bit ago. An embassy is for big diplomatic missions and typically found in the capital of the host country. A Consulate is a smaller diplomatic mission that can be located anywhere in the host country

[@palal-dz4oo]

The reason we can't play Bartlett anymore is because it sucks. Ubi didn't even want to make it a map for multiplayer cause it was made from the ground up for T-hunt. They added it after a lot of players asked for it and it terrorized ranked for years until it was removed.

[@TheGamerYaserNuevo]

Bravo sucks and is still in ranked

[@gabrijelkesic5843]

I always wondered what the backstories to the maps was especially the ship map

[@Duck-122]

[@gabrijelkesic5843]

@@moisess7566 they did WAHT

[@SidetrackRxz190]

In the nighthaven labs there is an animus from assassins creed, i think its a cool Easter egg that a lot of people miss when playing, theres even an ai assistant in the animus saying things like: "welcome to the animus" or "remember to take breaks in beetwen sessions" im a huge fan of AC and i love this easter egg

[@justarandompersonontheinte5044]

go on villa, look towards the city with a 3.0x scope and look ontop of the tower, you can see someone that looks like ezio auditore

[@caxacar8901]

Also in villa there is a ledge where you can hear the Eagle screech and Bush down

[@erynmcgrath]

Skyscraper also has an samurai armor that has the assassin's Creed Lego on it

[@joshl8998]

I’m fairly certain emerald plains is sort of an unofficial rework of Bartlett bc imo the layout has a similar feel and also did the job of changing it for the reasons said in the video

[@Neon1880]

Also the university is gone from the training grounds maps which used to be playable

[@hastyhawkeye]

​@@Neon1880it is in the matchmaking preferences

[@mrrager13]

Funny you say that, I took a hiatus from the game after they released Thunderbird and just came back the final week or two of the Fen release. My first time playing at Emerald Plains, my thought was exactly this. It felt similar to University.

[@KjamLXX8]

Pretty sure Bank is the setting for Rainbow's first mission in the book. In the book it's located in Switzerland.

[@krinos1]

I asked someone a long time ago about the books and the game and bank. “And in a separate continuity to boot. The Rainbow Six novel is set in what's known as the Ryanverse, while the games are all set in their own separate continuity that also includes Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and HAWX. In the original game, Rainbow's first mission was also a hostage situation, but it wasn't at a bank. It was at the Belgian embassy in London.”

[@tylerwillem8683]

I believe it’s just a reference

[@kokopuff240]

Even though I've lived and breathed this game for the past 8 years I still love coming to your videos to refresh myself or even learn something new! Keep up the hard work!

[@jakeomara5946]

It really sucks that the university isn't in the game, it makes sense why but I remember that being a fun map to play on

[@sloth7214]

i love the new replay system it helps us get such a good view of the map and helps us viewing our games efficiently

[@matasbabarskas3070]

one cool easter egg in the Nighthaven labs map is that in the basement theres an Animus machine which is from the Assassins creed franchise

[@czarsalad1880]

You mention the connections to the books a lot, but there’s a lot more maps that have some representation in the books. Presidential Plane, Bank, Theme Park, Stadium, Hereford(though the attack didn’t take place at Hereford), and if you really want to stretch, Labs and House all have a book counterpart

[@RMTren]

I've been waiting for this! W!

[@user-dz2ii5jx8n]

Man it’s so underrated how beautiful and different all the maps are in setting, color and details. Amazing art work

[@krimzonknight]

have you done a vid yet about some of the eastereggs in each map? like the AC Symbol in front of Villa and the Animus in the basement of Nighthaven labs?

[@snowyowl7413]

For the plane map it shouldn’t be Heathrow unless it never took off . Stansted is the designated airport if a hijacking takes place. As you said Heathrow is extremely busy and most likely wouldn’t have the space if something like this happens . Probably just a minor detail they overlooked

[@DarkZerol]

It's actually Heathrow Airport in the UK, the developers confirmed it. While the plane is the POTUS Air Force One based on the Boeing 747 however the plane is much more gigantic in the game compared to the real 747. Overall the game took a lot creative liberty in order to make the game more entertaining and balanced. All the maps in the game seems excessively large with very little form to function for what is it built for if it were to be used in real-life.

[@snowyowl7413]

I know it’s Heathrow I’m saying it really shouldn’t be unless the plane never got off the ground.

[@AlexWithington]

Was thinking heraford is similar to kill house in vegas 2 just kinda wish they would bring back the villa from that game as i think it would work well in siege

[@ariellapampara3834]

Your videos make me love the game more!!

[@avierrose6875]

Night Haven has shipping containers with the Abstergo logo on them, further tying the two worlds together

[@abaynurash102]

As a guy who previously lived in Nagoya i can say on skyscraper you can also see real life locations of Nagoya Tower and the spiral building. Pretty cool detail

[@ThundrStr]

wish we get more maps connected to operators

[@user-lc2of7ee6b]

Fun fact for stadium the map is a mix if multiple maps i dont know which maps you can go in a custom and look at it if your familiar with maps

[@Radioactivepaladin0703]

Not lore but in Villa, you can also find the Assassin's Creed symbol on one of the spawns in attacker's side. Pretty cool easter egg.

[@Aminyashed456]

Fountain if i remember correctly, it’s also loosely based on villa auditore from assassins creed.

[@samsausages36]

yeah you can see Ezio on top of one of the buildings on the skyline (or at least an assassin)

[@Enflict]

Plane was in Rogue Spear, same map layout, just a remake. Consulate is inspired by Embassy, the first level of Rainbow Six 1 in 1999 and the first call team Rainbow went on in the book, although originally it was the Belgian embassy. Skyscraper is directly inspired by an exotic recon level in Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield that you later return to for a raid. All the same elements were there: helipad adjacent to natural landscape atop a Japanese inspired penthouse with crazy angles and lots of guards. Outback has the name Hanley's on the outside of it. That's a reference to Timothy Hanley, one of the assignable operators in the original rainbow six games. The insinuation is that he retired and opened an auto body shop. Coastline is an amalgamation of Ibiza's bustling DJ/party scene in the form of a similar-looking property on a private island there called Isla Sa Ferradura. Bank was a level in Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, complete with basement vault area and reimagined in the same vein as Skyscraper. Theme Park appears to have been inspired by Operation Ghost Dance, a level in Rainbow Six 1, which itself was inspired by one of the hostage calls in the book. Although the latter were less cultural like in Siege and more Halloween oriented. Sniper Homer Johnson got in trouble with John Clark for shooting the lead hostage taker in the gut instead of the head (he shot a kid) "d** slow you ****" House was definitely from the book, a hostage there was a property caretaker who was a Holocaust survivor having a PTSD flashback. He spotted the Rainbow snipers because he knew the property like the back of his hand and noticed the ghillie suits. The seasonal uniforms are a reference to the book, where Rainbow being a secret unit meant their requestors had them dress as the local hostage rescue team of the country. The main villain of the book discovered Rainbow when he watched the news and noticed the Belgian Polizia was abnormally efficient in their takedown.

[@JakeIsBetter5535]

Wouldn’t chalet be closer to the Austrian hostage case? Might be an amalgamation of a few maps and ideas.

[@joshuagentry-1388]

Coastline is probably my personal favorite map, idk what it is but i almost never lose on it 😤

[@user-qw5rf7ox5i]

Cool fun facts for the map but I think Kanal is in-Game on the German Island Fehmarn or at because there are many signs on the map on high is written Fehmarn.

[@steamsleeper]

Another W video from Kudos

[@mirca1271]

HELL YEAH WE LOVE BARTLETT

[@itsmetommy66]

Another fun fact about Villa is that in the background you can see a Assassin standing on top of cross on the church tower.

[@bluntbbm1085]

actually consulate is based off of the Iranian Embassy Siege (Operation Nimrod) Ubisoft themselfes said that too some time back in 2016

[@ElViperr408]

We need the university school map back. It was so fun playing with friends and especially the stairs with the piano room

[@SimpleTac]

if you look at the tower in villa (in the background) you can see the guy from assassins creed on the very top

[@omikronairsoft6037]

God bless you man

[@Zakkariaha]

Villa is based of the villa from assassins creed 2, surprised you never mentioned it

[@Xcdrk]

Great vid

[@TheKaidynB]

Oregon reminds me a bit of my old Jobcorps center but it looks more abandoned

[@HoundDog11111]

Fun fact about outback is that you can see a sign for Trials and a guy riding a motorcycle in the background. Basically just a Trials reference

[@GameZedd01]

8:54 they should make that castle a map

[@rationxlity]

Them removing Bartlett because it's a school is something I don't get. These games and many of Tom Clancy's books deal with real world issues. Why hide that in your game when the whole point is to stop terrorism, mass shootings and hostage situations.

[@samsausages36]

pretty sure they just removed it because it was ass lmao. people complained about it in ranked for years, since it was a map built specifically for t hunt and nothing else

[@annezox2521]

Oregon's lore is basically the plot of Farcry 5

[@lololghi7909]

It really isn’t but alr

[@carltownshend7145]

Great video

[@malikthemaster8264]

Genuinely think they should just rework Bartlett uni map to make it something that’s not a school but keep the layout, could just make it a big ahhh library or make a map that’s based off a mall and have similar angles and stuff

[@n1ght_243]

Fun fact: there are two more maps based off of IRL events that you missed Presedential plane is based off of French flight 8969 that was hijacked by a terrorist group and subsequently raided by the GIGN Consulate is based off of the Iranian Embassy hostage crisis in which a group of terrorists overtook a U.S embassy and held like- 50 people hostage? I don't remember exactly how many, but the SAS had to step in and get shit done. If you make a part two please include this, I think it's actually really cool that they've taken so much inspiration from irl events and found a way to portray them in R6

[@AmelpsXett]

Plane is both based of what you mentioned and the situation in the first Rainbow Six book. Both ingame map and the book locations were Heathrow Airport Consulate is not really based of Iranian Embassy situation. While the similarity is there, its more of a depiction of constant attacks and protest near actual real life French embassy in Ivory Coast. Ivorians hate the french, and the map shows what would happen if they go over the tipping point.

[@infall_blackmetal]

i would like to point out, the waco incident wasnt the government, it was the ATF which is hardly a recognized organization by the government, they arent an actual branch of the government, rather the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. just a good food for thought

[@officialusmanqureshi]

i wish they would keep the old pre-rework maps available for customs

[@AD-zo8ib]

I’m from Charlottetown where the yacht is apparently from and it’s honestly weird hearing this since we are so unnoticed

[@k1llez4fun65]

My favorite part of the coastline lore that’s not very well known is that the developers added it to the ranked pool because they hate their players

[@Charmain-ds1ov]

No way the uni map is still in the game I remember that from years ago with the old T hunt

[@MothDoinLazr]

I love the videos but I’m kinda sad that you didn’t mention consulate is based off a real location

[@ix69yn]

What if border is a secret location? I’m gonna GeoGuesser this location tomorrow night and see if it is a real place.

[@Jaberdoodle]

iirc it’s an Egyptian border, because the tank outside heavily resembles that of a Egyptian tank they use

[@BingusBongus12]

Bartlet U was the best map when the game came out and would still be better than a lot of new maps today

[@wraithsblade9897]

Nighthaven labs has an assassins creed Animus in it

[@kr4ftt]

For Favela, those black trucks are called "caveirão" (big skull, translating to english does not give the impact of that word properly tbh... the ending there, the "ão" is something akin to the "AHU" of the 300 spartans, it's really heavy wording)... If you search videos about it they are basically bullet proof trucks intended to break blockades and penetrate the thick areas of favelas... It's *insane* and the cops that work inside those are even crazier

[@WadoViceMan]

11:54 you can find an animus from AC in basement

what happened

[@jnternaI]

@@Ezprozpo he said in the video they took it out because it’s a school/university and obviously siege is a game about shooting and school shootings are pretty prevalent today but i’m pretty sure they also removed it because that map was considered bad but it’s still in situations so i don’t really know the exact reason i just wanna play it in custom or quick match

[@deckser7683]

3:15 I don’t think that is Uluru, that is way too small. There are other rocks around the outback so maybe we can still find a place on google maps that the map is based on.
