Superior multiplayer experience: Lockdown has the total multiplayer experience, including a revolutionary class-based mode where players choose from four specialized operative classes, each with unique gameplay advantages.
Advanced weapons and equipment: complete your mission with all of the tools of the trade including new items like lock fusers, laser trip mines, and the deadly virus grenades.
New "classic" maps: Rainbow Six Lockdown provides nine maps including three new "classic" Rainbow maps voted on by the fans. Tension-building sound effects (creaking floorboards, whispers, and hostages begging for their lives) hint at a threat around every corner.

The console versions also feature cut scenes that flesh out the personality and background of each Rainbow member, as well as collectible suitcases hidden throughout each level that can be collected for bonus material.The PC version of Lockdown removed the sniper segments and storyline-related cut scenes, and also included redesigned levels to match the less linear gameplay of previous entries in the series. Several other longstanding elements of the series that were removed from the console versions were added back into the PC version, including helmets on the character models. Lockdown is the first game in the series to remove the planning phase.Lockdown takes place in 2009 and revolves around an elite counter-terrorist unit called Rainbow. InLockdown, Rainbow is pitted against a worldwide terrorist organization known as the Global Liberation Front, composed of various leftist, anarchist, and third-world organizations opposed to the West. The Global Liberation Front has stolen a man-made nanotech virus named "Legion". "Legion" is a naniteaerosol that causes massive hemorrhaging in its victim and has a mortality rate of 100%. Rainbow must find and stop the GLF from using the virus. Lockdown is the first entry in the Rainbow Six series to feature graphics effects which includes normal mapping and specular lighting, as well as physics objects. Advanced graphics were available only on the PC version.The game's combat is somewhat more forgiving than previous games, and player characters can survive several bullet hits before dying, instead of dying after 1 or 2 hits. Enemies are likewise more durable, often requiring 2 or 3 assault rifle shots to kill (in later missions, enemies wear body armor and can survive even more damage). Enemies also have significantly worse aim than in previous titles, resulting in more arcade-like combat. However, like previous titles, the player is unable to restore their health during a mission, so any damage taken is permanent.The PC version of Lockdown removed the sniper segments and storyline-related cutscenes, and also included redesigned levels to match the less linear gameplay of previous entries in the series. Several other longstanding elements of the series that were removed from the console versions were added back into the PC version due to fan backlash, including helmets on the character models, for the sake of realism.
The game also features improved squadmate AI and graphics; AI controlled squadmates will now independently perform actions such as leaning around corners or taking cover behind objects, instead of simply following the player in a linear route. Also, each individual member of Team Rainbow now has their own personal in-game model with clearly distinguished facial features, instead of the same generic masked soldier used for all characters in early titles.
The console versions of Lockdown also feature several "shooting gallery"-style sniper missions, in which players take control of sniper Dieter Weber, and snipe terrorists from a fixed position while covering the entry of an AI-controlled squad into an area. The console versions also feature cutscenes that flesh out the personality and background of each Team Rainbow member, as well as collectible suitcases hidden throughout each level that can be collected for bonus material.Unlike early Rainbow Six titles, Lockdown does not feature a planning stage before each mission where the player can plan attack paths and give mission orders to multiple AI-controlled squads. Players are also no longer able to control any soldier in a squad. Instead, the player controls the main character, Rainbow leader Ding Chavez, and leads a single squad in real-time through each level. The player can issue orders to team members, such as to break down a door or toss a grenade into a room.
Additionally, missions are broken up into linear levels, instead of each mission taking place on a single non-linear map. Lockdownalso gives players the ability to save their in-game progress at any time during a level, in contrast to previous games' lack of an in-game save feature.To accomplish this, Rainbow goes from country to country, tracking down each country's GLF cell, and finally capturing or killing that cell's leader, ultimately leading to a showdown with the GLF's supreme leader, Bastian Vanderwaal. A major plot twist occurs when team sniper, Dieter Weber, is captured by the terrorists, prompting an unauthorized rescue effort by the team. The game includes 16 single-player missions in all (14 on the Xbox).In the console versions of the game, the player views gameplay through a simulated visor. As the player's health bar becomes low, cracks will appear in the visor, limiting the player's view. Other visor effects are used such as steam or dust, slightly reducing visibility. Enemies are marked out as targets by the visor.Le monde est une fois de plus en sursis : une menace biochimique d'origine terroriste a été détectée. Les tensions s'intensifient encore lorsque l'équipe Rainbow est elle-même visée par cette redoutable organisation terroriste. Habitués à sauver la vie de civils en danger, les Rainbow doivent aujourd'hui se battre pour protéger l'un des leurs. Quinze missions et 23 armes vous attendent sur PC dans Rainbow Six : Lockdown, shoot à la première personne incluant quelques éléments tactiques.
