Bank bonus fact: Since the building does not have a bathroom, employees were so desperate for a bathroom, they dug a tunnel to the sewers to relieve themselves.
I believe the presidential plane map is based off a real GIGN operation aboard Air France Flight 8969 when terrorists hijacked the plane. Might be a cool idea to add for part 2!
I'm really disappointed they changed the aesthetic design of Oregon when they reworked it, it really watered down the references to the Waco siege which deserves way more attention.
A little detail on Villa: if you look in the direction of the city, with a Acog or a x3.0 scope, at the top of the tower you can see a shadowy figure similar to Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed!
My most hated map is Canal, because I literally work there xD in real-life, the actual location isn't as high-tech as shown in-game, actually, there's currently an agency in the building.
I remember my favorite cav rat spot was under the window in the back of the 2nd floor library if i remember correctly. Got so many rat kills as attackers were entrying through that top window
Didn't realized how detailed these maps is until eagle or 3rd person omniscient point is activated, if you go up more it looks so realistic like a google cam or a photo taken.
7:45 I looked this up a bit ago. An embassy is for big diplomatic missions and typically found in the capital of the host country. A Consulate is a smaller diplomatic mission that can be located anywhere in the host country
In the nighthaven labs there is an animus from assassins creed, i think its a cool Easter egg that a lot of people miss when playing, theres even an ai assistant in the animus saying things like: "welcome to the animus" or "remember to take breaks in beetwen sessions" im a huge fan of AC and i love this easter egg
The reason we can't play Bartlett anymore is because it sucks. Ubi didn't even want to make it a map for multiplayer cause it was made from the ground up for T-hunt. They added it after a lot of players asked for it and it terrorized ranked for years until it was removed.
I’m fairly certain emerald plains is sort of an unofficial rework of Bartlett bc imo the layout has a similar feel and also did the job of changing it for the reasons said in the video
Funny you say that, I took a hiatus from the game after they released Thunderbird and just came back the final week or two of the Fen release. My first time playing at Emerald Plains, my thought was exactly this. It felt similar to University.
Even though I've lived and breathed this game for the past 8 years I still love coming to your videos to refresh myself or even learn something new! Keep up the hard work!
I asked someone a long time ago about the books and the game and bank. “And in a separate continuity to boot. The Rainbow Six novel is set in what's known as the Ryanverse, while the games are all set in their own separate continuity that also includes Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and HAWX. In the original game, Rainbow's first mission was also a hostage situation, but it wasn't at a bank. It was at the Belgian embassy in London.”
In the game room on Villa, there is a war table that has circles stacked on each other red vs. blue. This is a reference to an obscure Ubisoft game R.U.S.E. I love that game so much, so seeing that table when the map first came out made me very happy!
You mention the connections to the books a lot, but there’s a lot more maps that have some representation in the books. Presidential Plane, Bank, Theme Park, Stadium, Hereford(though the attack didn’t take place at Hereford), and if you really want to stretch, Labs and House all have a book counterpart
Plane was in Rogue Spear, same map layout, just a remake. Consulate is inspired by Embassy, the first level of Rainbow Six 1 in 1999 and the first call team Rainbow went on in the book, although originally it was the Belgian embassy. Skyscraper is directly inspired by an exotic recon level in Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield that you later return to for a raid. All the same elements were there: helipad adjacent to natural landscape atop a Japanese inspired penthouse with crazy angles and lots of guards. Outback has the name Hanley's on the outside of it. That's a reference to Timothy Hanley, one of the assignable operators in the original rainbow six games. The insinuation is that he retired and opened an auto body shop. Coastline is an amalgamation of Ibiza's bustling DJ/party scene in the form of a similar-looking property on a private island there called Isla Sa Ferradura. Bank was a level in Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, complete with basement vault area and reimagined in the same vein as Skyscraper. Theme Park appears to have been inspired by Operation Ghost Dance, a level in Rainbow Six 1, which itself was inspired by one of the hostage calls in the book. Although the latter were less cultural like in Siege and more Halloween oriented. Sniper Homer Johnson got in trouble with John Clark for shooting the lead hostage taker in the gut instead of the head (he shot a kid) "d** slow you ****" House was definitely from the book, a hostage there was a property caretaker who was a Holocaust survivor having a PTSD flashback. He spotted the Rainbow snipers because he knew the property like the back of his hand and noticed the ghillie suits. The seasonal uniforms are a reference to the book, where Rainbow being a secret unit meant their requestors had them dress as the local hostage rescue team of the country. The main villain of the book discovered Rainbow when he watched the news and noticed the Belgian Polizia was abnormally efficient in their takedown.
Was thinking heraford is similar to kill house in vegas 2 just kinda wish they would bring back the villa from that game as i think it would work well in siege
For the plane map it shouldn’t be Heathrow unless it never took off . Stansted is the designated airport if a hijacking takes place. As you said Heathrow is extremely busy and most likely wouldn’t have the space if something like this happens . Probably just a minor detail they overlooked
It's actually Heathrow Airport in the UK, the developers confirmed it. While the plane is the POTUS Air Force One based on the Boeing 747 however the plane is much more gigantic in the game compared to the real 747. Overall the game took a lot creative liberty in order to make the game more entertaining and balanced. All the maps in the game seems excessively large with very little form to function for what is it built for if it were to be used in real-life.
have you done a vid yet about some of the eastereggs in each map? like the AC Symbol in front of Villa and the Animus in the basement of Nighthaven labs?
As a guy who previously lived in Nagoya i can say on skyscraper you can also see real life locations of Nagoya Tower and the spiral building. Pretty cool detail
Cool fun facts for the map but I think Kanal is in-Game on the German Island Fehmarn or at because there are many signs on the map on high is written Fehmarn.
Them removing Bartlett because it's a school is something I don't get. These games and many of Tom Clancy's books deal with real world issues. Why hide that in your game when the whole point is to stop terrorism, mass shootings and hostage situations.
pretty sure they just removed it because it was ass lmao. people complained about it in ranked for years, since it was a map built specifically for t hunt and nothing else
i would like to point out, the waco incident wasnt the government, it was the ATF which is hardly a recognized organization by the government, they arent an actual branch of the government, rather the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. just a good food for thought
Genuinely think they should just rework Bartlett uni map to make it something that’s not a school but keep the layout, could just make it a big ahhh library or make a map that’s based off a mall and have similar angles and stuff
Fun fact: there are two more maps based off of IRL events that you missed Presedential plane is based off of French flight 8969 that was hijacked by a terrorist group and subsequently raided by the GIGN Consulate is based off of the Iranian Embassy hostage crisis in which a group of terrorists overtook a U.S embassy and held like- 50 people hostage? I don't remember exactly how many, but the SAS had to step in and get shit done. If you make a part two please include this, I think it's actually really cool that they've taken so much inspiration from irl events and found a way to portray them in R6
Plane is both based of what you mentioned and the situation in the first Rainbow Six book. Both ingame map and the book locations were Heathrow Airport Consulate is not really based of Iranian Embassy situation. While the similarity is there, its more of a depiction of constant attacks and protest near actual real life French embassy in Ivory Coast. Ivorians hate the french, and the map shows what would happen if they go over the tipping point.
For Favela, those black trucks are called "caveirão" (big skull, translating to english does not give the impact of that word properly tbh... the ending there, the "ão" is something akin to the "AHU" of the 300 spartans, it's really heavy wording)... If you search videos about it they are basically bullet proof trucks intended to break blockades and penetrate the thick areas of favelas... It's *insane* and the cops that work inside those are even crazier
3:15 I don’t think that is Uluru, that is way too small. There are other rocks around the outback so maybe we can still find a place on google maps that the map is based on.
@@Ezprozpo he said in the video they took it out because it’s a school/university and obviously siege is a game about shooting and school shootings are pretty prevalent today but i’m pretty sure they also removed it because that map was considered bad but it’s still in situations so i don’t really know the exact reason i just wanna play it in custom or quick match
Would love some of these maps in ranked (the ones that aren't) instead of shitty ones like lair or nighthaven labs. Also the rework of consulate isn't that great. I don't like the direction they are going with all the small unecessary rooms that don't make sense in real life.

Rest in peace Bartlett University, honestly a great map. Us OGs will for sure miss you.
I'm really disappointed they changed the aesthetic design of Oregon when they reworked it, it really watered down the references to the Waco siege which deserves way more attention.
They should honestly keep both in the game for customs

A little detail on Villa: if you look in the direction of the city, with a Acog or a x3.0 scope, at the top of the tower you can see a shadowy figure similar to Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed!

With operation heavy mettle, tower just got a loooot more lore. It’s even damaged in a ton of areas on the outside to represent the raid
I miss playing Bartlett University. That map was so fun and had so many different points of entry. Truly a great time in siege history
Bartlett was and still is my favourite map. Wish they will just put it back in at some day, I loved this map
I remember my favorite cav rat spot was under the window in the back of the 2nd floor library if i remember correctly. Got so many rat kills as attackers were entrying through that top window
if you look closely emerald plain's layout are pretty much the university
7:00 a easter egg in favela is that the fireworks as alarms if the police is coming to warn the gangs and civilians to hide or to get home
Favela is also based in Rocinha, a slum neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, you can notice that based on the geography around the map
You forgot to mention that consulate's look is based on Iranian embassy in London where Operation Nimrod took place.
Didn't realized how detailed these maps is until eagle or 3rd person omniscient point is activated, if you go up more it looks so realistic like a google cam or a photo taken.
Consulae is specifically a French consulate in the Ivory Coast (Cote D'Ivoire) we are able to see this in the flags on the vehicles

go on villa, look towards the city with a 3.0x scope and look ontop of the tower, you can see someone that looks like ezio auditore
Also in villa there is a ledge where you can hear the Eagle screech and Bush down
Skyscraper also has an samurai armor that has the assassin's Creed Lego on it

Pretty sure Bank is the setting for Rainbow's first mission in the book. In the book it's located in Switzerland.
I asked someone a long time ago about the books and the game and bank. “And in a separate continuity to boot.

I believe it’s just a reference
In the game room on Villa, there is a war table that has circles stacked on each other red vs. blue. This is a reference to an obscure Ubisoft game R.U.S.E.
I love that game so much, so seeing that table when the map first came out made me very happy!
one cool easter egg in the Nighthaven labs map is that in the basement theres an Animus machine which is from the Assassins creed franchise
It really sucks that the university isn't in the game, it makes sense why but I remember that being a fun map to play on
Night Haven has shipping containers with the Abstergo logo on them, further tying the two worlds together
i love the new replay system it helps us get such a good view of the map and helps us viewing our games efficiently
If you look at the vehicles outside of Consulate, you can see the flag of Ivory Coast, where Consulate is presumably located
Man it’s so underrated how beautiful and different all the maps are in setting, color and details. Amazing art work
You mention the connections to the books a lot, but there’s a lot more maps that have some representation in the books. Presidential Plane, Bank, Theme Park, Stadium, Hereford(though the attack didn’t take place at Hereford), and if you really want to stretch, Labs and House all have a book counterpart

Outback has the name Hanley's on the outside of it. That's a reference to Timothy Hanley, one of the assignable operators in the original rainbow six games. The insinuation is that he retired and opened an auto body shop.
Coastline is an amalgamation of Ibiza's bustling DJ/party scene in the form of a similar-looking property on a private island there called Isla Sa Ferradura.

Wouldn’t chalet be closer to the Austrian hostage case? Might be an amalgamation of a few maps and ideas.

I know it’s Heathrow I’m saying it really shouldn’t be unless the plane never got off the ground.
I think Themepark may be based off of an abandoned theme park called Nara Dreamland. Very similar.
8:54 they should make that castle a map
Not lore but in Villa, you can also find the Assassin's Creed symbol on one of the spawns in attacker's side. Pretty cool easter egg.
Fountain if i remember correctly, it’s also loosely based on villa auditore from assassins creed.
yeah you can see Ezio on top of one of the buildings on the skyline (or at least an assassin)
Oregon's lore is basically the plot of Farcry 5
It really isn’t but alr
have you done a vid yet about some of the eastereggs in each map? like the AC Symbol in front of Villa and the Animus in the basement of Nighthaven labs?
As a guy who previously lived in Nagoya i can say on skyscraper you can also see real life locations of Nagoya Tower and the spiral building. Pretty cool detail
Fun fact for stadium the map is a mix if multiple maps i dont know which maps you can go in a custom and look at it if your familiar with maps
Cool fun facts for the map but I think Kanal is in-Game on the German Island Fehmarn or at because there are many signs on the map on high is written Fehmarn.
actually consulate is based off of the Iranian Embassy Siege (Operation Nimrod) Ubisoft themselfes said that too some time back in 2016

I’m from Charlottetown where the yacht is apparently from and it’s honestly weird hearing this since we are so unnoticed
I feel a good idea for a new map would be the Tet Offensive, this was where the Vietcong had the American Embassy under siege for 5 hours.
Another fun fact about Villa is that in the background you can see a Assassin standing on top of cross on the church tower.
i would like to point out, the waco incident wasnt the government, it was the ATF which is hardly a recognized organization by the government, they arent an actual branch of the government, rather the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. just a good food for thought
