I like that Rainbow 6 is well done in terms of strategies and team play; however, it’s not very friendly for new players. There are people killing you from angles you didn’t even know existed, and the lack of an actual map of the building doesn’t help with that either. The game is a bit buggy and poorly optimized for how long it’s been out, but it’s very fun to play. Players are generally chill and will help you if you need operator recommendations or other things. The game is awesome when played with friends, and in my opinion, it’s more or less well balanced. I’d recommend it to people looking for a more tactical experience in first-person shooters. Just keep in mind you might have a bit of an uphill experience if you’re just starting out.

Update
This game has a lot to offer in terms of strategy. As a new player, I keep discovering new strategies and learning new things about the game. It definitely feels a lot slower, compared to other games I'm familiar with, such as Counter Strike, but it doesn't cripple the experience at all, it's just different to what I'm used to, and it shines a whole new perspective on this genre for me. I've been told this game is very toxic, but I don't find that to be true. It's actually one of the least toxic ranked experiences I've had in gaming (coming from League of Legends and other games with highly toxic environments). The only thing that's different is that R6 community is the most racist of them all, as far as my experiences go. I still enjoy this game a lot, now that I have unlocked ranked mode. Currently sitting in gold and hoping to reach diamond.

Update
I hate this game...

OK cool. DX11 works better than DX12 for me too.

Idk dx11 works better for me personally and it's not a default option anymore I think but I'd definitely check out both and see which one works best

Steam didn’t give me any launch option. So I guess dx11? Framerates improve over time (after loading a map a couple of times). Still, we're talking about a 9 y/o game. It shouldn’t need to be launched several times for a getting playable experience. Thanks for the heads op on dx11 BTW. I'll check if there's an option.

are you using dx12 or dx11?

I have a brand new high-end pc so I wouldn't know

Optimization is nonexistent in this game. Stutters at the beginning of the match, frame drops here and there.
