[@bloodreaper8822]

I love that at the end when Harry was talking to Deimos, he knows he would probably die and said for him to hurry up he was boring him.

[@Renebear]

I think what Harry did was very smart of splitting up rainbow into different squads where the leader of each squad can lead themselves. When Harry died, it made sense that the leadership now goes out to the operators as it’s “their unit” and there is no longer Six. Deimos might have underestimated Harry of what he was capable of in the end.

[@tede9680]

I mean when I mean deimos is also right he ruined his rainbow as deimos is the guys who used stealth and no witnesses and Harry switched from that to circus

[@LunaPPK]

@@tede9680 yes yes we get it children like you have a axe to grind

[@randomperson2235]

I think that the idea to split off all the siege operators into thier own teams is going to be heavily beneficial to the creative team behind the operators going forward. Now instead of having to make a new counterterrorism operator they now have a framework to build off of for their characters. Now they can work off of building a new operator that is highly versatile, or stealthy, or gun heavy, or a humanitarian, or they're nighthaven. In all honesty i have no idea what kind of niche nighthaven fills other than them being a private military.

[@oinkytheink1228]

Supplier I have to assume but true ops there is the jack of all trades kind of thing

[@randomperson2235]

@@oinkytheink1228 assuming you are talking about nighthaven, yeah jack of all trades does seem to be their current role, though that seems to also be what viperstrike is going for. Hopefully going forward with their next few ops nighthaven will get their own niche to play out when it comes to both gameplay and lore. Like they could end up being the group who focuses on intelligence? Since there isn't much of a group that focuses on that specifically and is more of something thats spread out amongst every group

[@M0YO]

@@randomperson2235 nighthaven doesn’t have a niche they aren’t a squad, they are a *private military company* .The Rainbow Squads are the only ones with specific niches and they are in response to the conflict with nighthaven. Viperstrike: Adaptability/Flexibility/ Support Wolfguard:Humanitarian/No casualties Ghosteyes: Stealth/Reconnaissance/Intelligence Redhammer: Breach/Destruction what separates nighthaven from rainbow is their rules of engagement. Kali does not like doing things by the book so nighthaven cut ties with rainbow.

[@randomperson2235]

@@M0YO fair, but in a wider gameplay sense the devs probably consider nighthaven as their own squad more than as an independent organization. So from that kind of sense id imagine that them having their own niche is going to come up sooner or later.

[@M0YO]

@@randomperson2235 if they aren’t apart of the same overarching unit. there would be no niche to fill in the first place ? their video has already been uploaded months ago establishing their“role” already just like all the other squads, their “niche” as you put it. is doing things NOT by the book and doing what it takes to get the job done. The only situation i see nighthaven getting a niche is if they join rainbow again. even then they might just split up nighthaven into the existing squads

[@eccovoid6969]

I personally really like siege lore and I hope it gets expanded on more :)

[@sak471997]

I like the idea of Zero getting the offer to lead either as Six or as the leader of Ghost Eye but him just being like "i'm too old for that S@#€!, let one of the younglings do it"

[@Neteyam]

I agree . Master Skywalker there to many of them what are we going to do? Do it Anakin slay the younglings. I know this isn’t Star Wars but it reminds me of the youngling massacre

[@mconor1530]

I love how Ubisoft is investing more in the Lore of rainbow, it was always something that I wanted when I started playing year one. Also cool thing to know is that Deimos, at least in greek mythology, is the personal god of dread and terror and his brother is the god of fear. If you ask me, he has that look that brings you terror.

[@secludedgoblin6555]

It would be cool if Extraction was cannon and REACT was one of the squads. They would be the biohazard squad and could have been led by Ash.

[@embrace_the_random]

It would but wouldn't really fit the lore look i love extraction but even i know that ubisoft is neglecting it. And theres better stuff they should spend there time on. And also idk man about the effects of having a REACT squad like its not there job.

[@Algebruh2407]

It would be cool, but Ubisoft employees have already said that they aren't going to be making more content for it.

[@embrace_the_random]

@@Algebruh2407 yeah it sucks also i think for the time line extraction takes years apart i mean doesn't thermite have a beard in extraction?

[@MaturishGambino]

[@Desmond17]

I don't know why this thought crossed my mind when you were talking about the "new" Six, but what if Rainbow was actually composed of 6 squads : Ghosteyes Nighthaven Redhammer Viperstrike Wolfguard Those been the ones we already knew, and a new one. How about one containing Sam Fisher (I forgot how his position was called within Rainbow) even if he is advising Ghosteyes ? It could be a squad containing "legacy" characters from Ubisoft franchises universes, i.e. Nomad from Ghost Recon and others ?

[@shrunkenderp]

Didn’t know rainbow lore was this dope till I found your videos. Keep up the good work! Definitely gonna show my friends this too lol

[@KudosR6]

Much appreciated! Hope they enjoy too

[@ChapaczNorek]

Rainbow was separated into squads in the OG R6 games too. And they still had a leader. It's just Siege writers are now making out for all the bad writing decisions made in the past. Not only for R6, but even Splinter Cell (almost every dialogue for Zero in the trailers and comics has so many small bits that make Blacklist have somewhat more sense in retrospect). Edit: What we see in the trailer gave me so heavy nostalgic feeling. This is what missions in OG R6 games look like. Every squad has its set of objectives (if you gave them to them, and then they meet up to reach the final goal). Absolutely fantastic, and it really made me wish for a new game in the style of the classics. With those operators, that we know and love... man, I remember crying like a baby when I pulled off a pretty nice plan on my own, but Kazimiera, whom I put in charge of the Red Squad died during an extraction (my own skill issue, but felt like heroic death). It was so sad when I realized I can no longer play as her again (unless I load an older save) and she's now replaced with a Recruit. I need similar emotional stimulation in my life. Extraction scratched that itch, but it was a "live service" game so the characters never actually died during a playthrough, they had to return anyway. Boring.

[@darklombax2580]

Harry was really intelligent, he kept rainbow together but he separated them into units. Similar to an actual military. They’re all together but separate

[@codybearden3091]

OK personal opinion but I feel we were supposed to get one more squad with ash leading it before siege got a new director because there are a few ops that wernt in a squad such as rook capito alibi Mira ash goyo amaru I think capito was a on the fly decision to add him to viper strike I'm shur I forgot a few ops that weren't in a squad

[@EchoBoomer1987]

I loved how they expanded on the social relationships after Harry took over. My personal favorite is when he had to calm down the Russians after they threw a fit because none of them made captain.

[@R3TR0ACTIV]

I really want it to be a thing where all the squads respect zero so he is kinda like a deciding vote or like someone they run stuff by as like an advisor to everyone.

[@BadgerBadger95]

It would be cool if Zero became the sort of leader of Rainbow, not really a ‘Six’ but an ‘owner’ of Rainbow that keeps all the squads together. Rainbow is a military group, so all the assests, buildings, funding, security, and operations need to still be managed. With him being in Ghosteyes, it allows Zero to stay on the field, but allow Caveira to take charge of their operations and squad, allowing Zero to focus on Rainbow as a whole and have someone the squad leaders can report back to.

[@jacobwhelan45]

In the current state of the team, the idea of 4 squads leading themselves to success after learning valuable lessons about teamwork and leadership is very fitting and good story telling. Once the conflict with Deimos and his group are dealt with and Rainbow can begin to rebuild, should that be the next course of action, I think they should revert to how it was before with a six and consider one of the squad leaders for a promotion to six

[@JxdnOF]

I mean i like having the squads separated into groups that fit their tactical style. It should go to a rank system where there is a leader, such as zero who does give out the main orders, but then those orders go to the heads of the seperate squads depending on the mission tactics required. Say Cav is her team leader and is in charge of them, but she still receives orders from 1 higher up

[@revanamell1791]

The logistics of being a director is a full time job. Gotta pay the bills, supply the ammo and drinks for the vending machines. No organisation is run on auto pilot. Who is paying their wages and setting the agenda?

[@jacobwhelan45]

@@revanamell1791 there’s been references that there are many people working in rainbow that are not operators. Harry was on Rainbow before he was the six, his job was mostly the same as when he was the six except his promotion allowed him to call the shots. I’m confident there are people for all of that. The only thing he did at this point that Rainbow wasn’t self reliant on was having the final say, which isn’t super important if they are all as close of a team as we see. Unlikely anyone would step on Cavs shoes or any other scenario like that because they all respect each other, are on the same page, and work well as a team

[@smerdellopuffo]

If there's one thing I would love to see is voiced operator interactions during games, just how it happens on Overwatch 2. Imo it would add that tiny bit more to the lore and enjoyment of it.

[@hanakomisa]

Apex also does this for personal relationship pairs (eg; Bloodhound and Fuse, Valk and Loba, etc) or if there is going to be something happening in the lore (such as special voicelines when Seer was slated for an interview) so yeah I hope Siege also gets those. Putting in thank quips might be the best way.

[@carlgraham9526]

Just a quick note, it would appear that while each squad is independent and has their own leader, as seen in the latest cinematic, cav does take orders from thermite. So it would seem that when multiple sqauds are deployed, which ever squad has been assigned that task, has defacto command over all other squads assigned to assist Though im not sure if they have any control over othwr squads rosters

Ubi has finally acknowledge their IP's full potential if it was made into an actual story. Thank you for covering this btw, very good video.

[@zachu511]

So Ubisoft’s big plan for R6 as an organization is to… abolish R6, so that this Deimos can’t, uh… abolish R6. Squads within an overall organization, under the purview of an established command is fine. If this heads into the direction of four completely autonomous squads, just completely without oversight from a Rainbow “Six”, then I’m not for it. Deimos wins either way I guess.

[@Odin19963]

One more squad with operators and we now have a rainbow six 🤙🏽

[@flipkiller8521]

If Sam is not the new Six, they should bring back either Bishop from the Vegas games or Scott Mitchell from Ghost Recon to be the new Six.

you know what could be cool if Ubisoft made a series about the siege lore with first the white masks and on word to deamos and the squads, like leauge did with arkane

[@charlessaint7926]

Sam would want to be an operator in the field. Not sitting behind a desk.

Some other stuff I thought about: Deimos is a greek name - also used in ac:odyssey - and binds in with r6 having been in greece If the “secret” on nighthaven labs is canon - and perhaps also the flores elite 👀- then just maaaaaybe there could be a cool cross-game plot

[@DannyCapM8]

I feel there should be some sort of Centralized Leader for the 4 Squads, the squads will still be autonomous, just someone above them to help with possible issues that could involve someone's affiliation to said squad, they step in as the last resort if the squad leaders can't come up with a solution themselves. They'll no longer be Team Rainbow in name, just to signify the changes in the structure of Team Rainbow after Harry's genius thinking ahead to avoid confusion amongst the squads in the absence of "Six".

[@finleylunser3856]

I for my part like that Rainbow got split up cause it just makes sense for them to start working as multiple squads by the amount of operators they have. Idon't think we will realy have a new "Six" but Zero(Sam Fisher) might become that one big link between all of the squads and they might referre to him as "Six". It would only make sense to put Sam in this position because he is only in Rainbow as an advisor and for his own protection

[@oinkytheink1228]

I don’t think he wants to be the public eye though for reasons

[@finleylunser3856]

@@oinkytheink1228 yeah of course not that's why he is going to play a link between all of them now. He can't join any of the squads so he'll stay in stadium or wherever and just connects all of them together. They just might refer to him as "Six" cause they are used to that kind of person

[@ChairmanOfConstellation]

[@rambleroodle2369]

they need to make siege lore a separate single player game that also has connection with siege

[@Whit3hat]

In great adversity, 1 has to become six

[@MrWhatever006]

Though removing "6" as leader will benefit rainbow six siege's to a story and narrative standpoint, there will be a point that they need to appoint another "6" sometime in the future (maybe next few years or so). From a narrative standpoint, having 4 teams, 5 if counting nighthaven, working independently is fine, but mixing them from time to time without executive overseer like "6" makes no sense, especially if they make a story for the future operators. They need a new "6" that is not a main boss, but more of an overseer and a representative that doesn't boss around, but more of a quest giver and do all the talking for them.

[@dtrust1801]

I think UBI needs to make more cinematic videos like they have!!!!!!!!!

[@rishi8730]

If Siege lore is based on Real military line-up then.....The thing which I have learnt in my military service is that Director of any special force is very important. I can Lead 5-10 men on the Field as Field commander but planning and execution is two different stories, sometimes things gets wrong, may be Intel was wrong. That's why the High command support is very important, in Death situation they can send aid or QRF for rescue. That's the reason every country selects a highly experienced General level (For Army) military officer to become the Director of Special forces. They support during mission planning, selects team leaders and support as High command. My theory is that Harry will return, may be he got saved by Ace, Ace saved Kali previously, may be he will save the life of Harry too. Because of that Rainbow starts trusting Nighthaven again and work together to find Demios.

[@Shotmydawg]

I think that the squad heads will become like a council for voting on new joining operators positions in squads

i just don't get it why ash didn't get any particular role and just is a basic operator not even a capitan of a team. in many previous events and cinematics including r6 extraction cinematics she was high placed leader and now she ends up as an operator with some background story, bad relations with nighthaven and nothing else

[@cookingwitharek9099]

In my opinion Harry did a good job separating rainbow into squads, but I also think that international counter terrorism task force needs a politician running it. Somebody has to be responsible if things do not go well (for instance nighthaven decides to destroy rainbow from inside), a politician could defend R6 and represent them, because UN probably would not like 4/5 separate rainbow directors. What rainbow needed was ranks, before squads ash was the only official tactical commander of rainbow, she was a captain with 40 operatives under her, it was a mess, now every squad leader has like 12 operators under him each and this is way more effective and the chain of command finnaly exists.
