The Rainbow Six franchise, to a great extent, owes its popularity to the successful implementation of its multiplayer features. Rainbow Six Lockdown doesn't plan to be the exception to that reputation. Trying to improve on its predecessors, the game has taken the best features and game elements from previous Rainbow Six games and combined them into one multiplayer experience.
Rainbow Six Lockdown will include new features original to the Rainbow Six franchise such as allowing players to not only play as a Team Rainbow member, but giving them the option to play as a mercenary in all adversarial modes. Another innovative addition to the multiplayer experience is the use of dynamic maps. Players will have the ability to effect the map in real time by use of machinery (like cranes) or automated doors. This will allow them to open up or close paths and access routes to different locations on the map.
Rainbow Six Lockdown Multiplayer modes include:
Cooperative - Mission (PS2 and Xbox): Play cooperatively through single-player missions as Team Rainbow and eliminate all enemies.
Cooperative - Terrorist Hunt (PS2 and Xbox): Play cooperatively through Campaign as Team Rainbow.
Team Adversarial (PS2) / Team Survival (Xbox): Death-match between Team Rainbow versus the Mercenaries. The team with the most kills when time is up wins.
Team Retrieval (PS2) / Retrieval (Xbox): Play as either Team Rainbow or the Mercenaries. The team to retrieve the most canister objects within the time limit wins.
Total Conquest(Xbox): The team to capture and hold all three satellite transmitters for a short duration wins the round.
Team Sharpshooter (Xbox): Team deathmatch with respawn. The team with the most kills when the time expires wins.
Brand New to the Multiplayer Experience:
- Exclusive to the PlayStation 2 - Team Rivalry
- Exclusive to the Xbox - Persistent Elite Creation.
