Rainbow 6 Patriots Officially Announced

As if we all didn't expect this, Ubisoft is doing yet another Tom Clancy title. This one has the moniker Rainbow 6 Patriots. From the bit that has been gleaned from the announcement and game's site it looks like a well trained and organized revolutionary group has come to the conclusion that (*Gasp*) the American government is corrupt. They want to bring everything back to zero and "reclaim" the country for their own ideals. Your job will be to of course stop them if all goes the same as usual for this kind of storyline.

On top of all the story of the game, there will be some new co-op and multiplayer features. Not to mention all the same things I am sure that all the series fans will be used to.

"Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction. This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience." said David Sears, creative director at Ubisoft.

I don't know why, but I kind of find it humorous that a Canadian Dev team, French Canadian at that, is at the helm again for a game that takes place in the U.S. Not that I don't think they will do a good job with it, but it's funny to see a foreign nation developing a game that is based on some social commentary of the nation. In a sense they are making a game where the antagonists are American Government haters and the protagonists are following the orders of a government that I am sure will be shown as corrupt as well. Shouldn't we (Americans) be doing this? Like I said, I find it funny.

No matter how you slice it, look for Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots sometime in 2013.
