Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots vs Counter-Strike 2
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots was announced in 2011 as the next entry in Ubisoft's tactical shooter franchise. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal with support from Ubisoft Toronto and Ubisoft Red Storm, it promised a blend of single‑player narrative and multiplayer combat across next‑gen consoles and PC. The project was cancelled in 2014 following the death of Tom Clancy, and Ubisoft shifted focus to the later‑released Rainbow Six Siege. As a result, Patriots never received a final release, pricing, or official reviews.
Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.
Free-to-play; monetized via cosmetic skins.

4.5 (4)So much fun
Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
