Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six originally released in 1998, and is considered by many to be the original tactical shooter. This makes Siege a pick up and play option for someone looking for some variety from their CS:GO games.
Much like Counter-Strike, many of the skills you’ll need to play Siege are basic shooter skills. In short, if you’ve got your basics down tight in CS:GO, you’ll have an easier time picking up the game. Unlike Counter-Strike, there are different operators with their own skills that you’ll need use to win.
