Rainbow Six Siege Story.

Rainbow six siege: 

Rainbow six are a counter terrorist unit, that try to better the world, and bring peace, yet there are a set of terrorists that try to destroy the world by placing a bio hazard container, which is full of nova gas which will destroy the whole world, The CTU are set out to stop them, yet the terrorists try to defend themselves at all cost, there are many nationalities in each team, Some people in the force are more experience in certain roles than others. One of the counter terrorists, from France, named twitch is really experienced in remote controlled devices, and has a drone that has the ability to taze the terrorists. 

One day the terrorists decided to take over “Bartlett University” based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They planted two bombs in the building which caused a yellow smoke around the area, and the rainbow six team have the set objective to disarm the bombs, and eliminate the threat, as the cloud was covered around the area, and only the operators that wore MOPP gear (Mission Oriented Protective Posture), this consists of a protective mask, over garments, gloves and over boots so that the gas couldn’t come in contact with them, if failed to do so then the bombs would detonate, causing an outbreak. 

The rainbow six team failed to disarm the bombs in Bartlett University, and this caused the outbreak, causing the whole population to become infected, And the team had to find a cure in order to set the world back to peace, The infection caused everybody without a suit on to become monster like.  

Eventually the Rainbow team developed a counter viral gas which would turn the monster like people to return into human like form, the only problem was that the infected lost their memory. 

Many years later, The Rainbow team were called by the president of New Mexico, prior to an insight of a meteorite falling in a local town, this consisted of a mysterious virus, Once they arrived at the local town, there were people covered in red spikes, had red eyes and were turning red, They were called in order to elimate the threat and try find a cure for this outrageous virus, In order to do that they had to go into an area that was under quarantine to find a doctor, to help assist them create this cure. 

Unit 5 - Exercise 1/2

Exercise 1 - Understand the use of Sound and Music in Games.

Fallout 4 uses dialog to present information in order to progress into the game and open different quests in the game, it is important that you speak to the NPC's to open side quests as they give you certain loot that could help for the main story-line, they have solved a indirect problem with navigation by hinting where to go using the in game characters.
Rainbow 6 siege also uses sound to convey information as their is a certain way how the bullets work and you can tell where the bullets are coming from, also footsteps are important and heavy in the game so you can hear your enemies.
In darksiders 2 the game has an iconic crow which will navigate you towards the right direction if you are lost or stuck, this solves the sense of direction for players instead of using the complex map.

Exercise 2 - Understanding Sound Design Theory.

Music and sound effects are important within game development as they play a big role in mood and feeling in the game, for instance if you're developing a horror game a knocking door can suggest something is going to happen, or can tell you that someone is near, and changing the pitch of an audio clip can suggest something bad is going to happen.
Music is important in gaming as it sets the mood within the atmosphere of playing the game, some games will switch from calm music to intense music suggesting that something like a fight is about to break out.
Waveform is a way of measuring certain things such as sound and vibration, the bigger the wave the longer/louder the sound or vibration.
Foley is recording of a sound for a movie in a sound proofed room in order to get clear audio.

My Gaming Machines - Then and now.

My Gaming Machines - Then and now.

My first gaming system that i owned was the PlayStation 2

.

The current gaming system that i mainly use now is the Xbox one.

On the Xbox one, you can gain access to the internet if you have a WiFi connection.
Another thing you can do with the Xbox one is have a wireless connection with your controller so you don't have to used a wired one like the PlayStation 2.

The PlayStation 2 first released on the 2nd of March, 2000.
The Xbox One first released on the 22nd of November, 2013.
Reasons I Liked the PlayStation 2:
It was my first gaming system that i owned, so i very much enjoyed playing on it.
The games were fun when i played, with good graphics at the time.
I disliked how the controller was wired as most people would walk in my way whilst playing the games, and often unplugged the wire.
Another thing i didnt like about it was there wasnt any online features to the games, or the system in particular.
The reasons i like Xbox one
the majority of my friends are on the Xbox one,
Online services are cheap for the system,
Wireless controllers.
The things i dislike about the Xbox one are the game prices,
Also the size of games take up alot of storage
The online community is very toxic when playing in game chat.
Some of my favourite games on the PlayStation 2 are The Simpsons:Hit and Run and the Crash bandicoot Series


Some of my favourite games on the Xbox One are CoD Blackops 3 because of the zombies DLC and black ops 4, NBA 2k17

Rainbow 6 Siege

Rainbow 6 Siege:

Rainbow 6 Siege has a competitive theme to the game, it's a 5vs5 FPS defending/attacking based game in which you attack a set objective, and the defending team have to stop the CTU ( Counter terrorist unit) defusing the bomb (Bio hazard container), each player on the defending team get 2 reinforcements that can be placed on wooden walls (soft walls) which can stop the players breaking into the set objective, Each round the teams switch, so each team will have a certain amount of rounds to attack and also defend. The game did very well.
The bad thing about rainbow 6 siege is that ubisoft decide to ruin the game, and nerf everything that is good, making the game more "balanced" this meaning they took all the good aspects out of the game for set attackers and defenders, Also every update that ubisoft bring to the game seems to break more and more things in the game, one currently being that once you play 2 games, your game has a high chance of freezing, and they take to long to fix these bugs, which frustrates people that play the game.
One update in the game which happened a while ago, in operation "Blood Orchid" is that ubisoft decided to remove the acog sight off of 2 defenders, called bandit and jager, this had the community going wild as the acog was the only reason that the 2 operators had such a high pick rate, Although it fixed the game alot, i wasnt a fan of this update as i personally used the operators myself, and the reason it made the game more "balanced" was because everyone that used the operators with acog, would try to spawn peak (break windows during preparation phase in order to kill the CTU when they spawned). 
Spawn peaking is the reason that most people on the game get angry, because each round lasts 3-4 minutes, and would die from a spawn peak in the first 20-30 seconds of the round meaning that they had to spectate.

Another downfall of the game is the ranking system, and how it works, personally i dislike the rank system, yet i always play ranked. The reason i hate the ranking system myself is because if you aint in the game at the time the game ends, you receive a ban, and my internet is trash and i would often get removed from matches.
The game is a team based game, and is quite unfair with matchmaking because you get put with lower skilled people when playing ranked, yet the opponents you get put up against seem alot better than your team, and they often cause you to loose the game.

First Person

My name is Jake and i decided to join onto the level 3 games development course because i am interested in games and how they work, i studied on a level 2 General IT Course before i enrolled onto this course and i have interest in computers in general, and gaming too, I hope at the end of this course i can progress onto university and become a game developer in the future. I play on the Xbox one system, but would love to some point switch to PC gaming. My favourite games are Rainbow 6 Siege, And most Call of Duties, specifically the zombies game mode, I'm looking forward for the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 as i really enjoyed the first game, although i didn't really play the story properly as i was young i still had a laugh playing it.

 Apart from Gaming, i really enjoy playing basketball with my friends, and have a passion for watching the NBA too, My favourite team in the NBA are the Golden state warriors.

The Reason i created this blog is so people can see my progress throughout the year of me studying on this course, and for a personal portfolio incase employers would like to see my progress, or even my friends and family.
