Sounds like they have taken Terrorist Hunt very seriously and made an entire game about it; I loved the Terrorist Hunt feature and can’t wait for this to be released. Going by the Alpha specifications, even though they say the requirements will be less for game launch, I think this game will be very demanding.
“Minimum Rainbow Six Siege Closed Alpha PC Requirements:
- OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, x64
- CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-8120 Eight-Core
- CPU Speed: 3.3 GHz (Recommended), 2.6 GHz (Minimum)
- RAM: 8 GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 / R9 280 X
- VRAM: 2 GB
Note: These specs are the ones required for Alpha testing and are not the final PC specs. We are still working on optimizing the game and the launch specs will be lower than the Alpha specs.”
Ill test it for you
