How Deimos SAVED Rainbow Six Lore!

Rainbow Six Siege lore has gone through a large amount of changes since its release, and even the lore of the previous Rainbow 6 titles. In this video, I will be explaining how Ubisoft, and the character of Deimos put R6 lore on a course correction, and basically saved Rainbow Six Lore!

If Deimos kills off an operator like Blackbeard, it would 1) allow Ubi to release a “new Blackbeard” without the story need for a major rework and 2) give the community a reason to actually be interested in this antagonist. For now, Deimos is just a mysterious figure that killed off a character we had no real stake in

Honestly with how the lore is I feel that it could make a great rainbow six campaign

[drzen]

Harry's death is the only possitive thing happend in siege story for recent years.

[TitoPLLE]

It was actually that Hammer and Scalpel cinematic that caught my attention and brought my eyes back to the game.
Rollin heavy on the lore definitely was a great decision, if not just for the players.

[_smm_]

This would make a great transition back to the gritty old rainbow, but knowing gaming history today? Sounds like a fever dream.

[neofulcrum]

I still feel bad for Harry. I know people weren’t happy with his training methods but in doing so, he gave rainbow a chance to adapt and still operate in a decentralized manner to fight.

White masks should return, maybe as a somekind of plot twist where the rainbow team finds evidence that deimos works with the white mask or maybe a leader of white masks but when they raid hq of white masks or something where they tought deimos was there, but it would be a trap or something. TL;DR white masks should return.

[Will-xfpn]

I know my mind might be clouded by nostalgia, but the white mask era of seige was definitely the ultimate version of the game.

2023 Rainbow Six Intivational. The arena is filled with thousands of eager fans. On top of the target house Nokk and Dokkaebi are waiting to go in.
Dokk, "Hey..."
Nokk, "Yeah?"
Dokk, "Ever wonder why we're here?"
Nokk, "It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it? Why *are* we here? I mean, are we the product of mass marketing campaign, or is there we really counter-terrorists? Hunting bad guys? Y'know, with a plan for us, and stuff? I don't know, man. But it keeps me up at night."

I still think the funniest joke to come out of this was people saying they made the community a character

[SlickApche]

As a reader of the og novel of R6 (before i found the game) I really hope that Deimos turns out to be some member of prime Rainbow, who is fed up with the degradation and publicity of the once unknown black ops group since they are the same lore, and I wish the lore would tie in a bit more to the book.

[randallseason]

I really don't think Deimos will be able to save the writing until they are willing to take risks. The reason I say this is because I feel like Deimos will just be constant rising action like other antagonists set before him. I mean Kali was originally suppose to be a villain and we got tons of cinematics that led to nothing.

The reason everyone got shocked that Deimos got Harry is because characters in this game have plot armor. Deimos can't touch any of these operators and it's proven by the fact when he set up team rainbow and the operators will only injured. So we as the audience will never really be scared of Deimos or perceive him as a good villain.

Too when ubisoft designs villains based only for mystery's sake. Deimos has a mask only because ubisoft wants you to try guessing if he is an old character. Deimos is designed around mystery for mystery sake. I don't think the writers even have a story for him. It's much like how nighthaven being rainbow's rival was completely scrapped because they had no roadmap for the story.

Until Ubisoft starts taking off the plot armor, developing answers to lore instead of questions, and developing a good resolution he will be a mediocre villain.

the other important part about the introduction of nighthaven that I keep seeing people forget to mention is that Nighthaven also allows the dev team to add operators from countries that don't have CTUs or just normally would not work alongside these other nations due to politics

[jacobwhelan]

Halo has been making this mistake for over a decade now. As a halo fan, I wish they’d look at Siege lore and learn how to course correct without just restarting from scratch. Halo has to build lore around their story just to make the games coherent. Glad some great developers still exist

[Exodus]

Did you notice Deimos phone he uses for droning and stuff has blood on it? That’s from Harry

[sirmissalot]

Man you should watch " tom Clancy's without rumors" that movie was taken place before team rainbow was started. Maybe you might find any cool details about the main motive of team rainbow.

[netfire]

I find the yearly tournament was a good idea. Truly a antiterrorunit should be stealthy and unkown. But the tournament move is more like a marvels ironman move „ we are better than u all and we will show u yearly how much better, so don’t try it“. Now we have deimos and he is trying to proof that

[KF-tpno]

in terms of originality siege broken now ubi's trying to fix it. it's somewhat working, story IS getting interesting, but cracks are still very much visible. Things like out of place gadgets, operators wearing distinct uniforms rather than a singular uniform as an unit like older titles. when I first played article 5 i was hoping for more. that single mission in the entire game feels more like an actual rainbow six mission. they really need to make more coop missions like article 5 with narrative.

[Infinito_T]

I am curious to what extent this good story change in the lore has to do with Alexander Karpazis' new position as Creative Director

[kSwissh]

i hope deimos becomes a playable operator in siege he looks cool and looks like he can have some very interesting abilities
