Simply put, Siege fans know the game&#8217;s maps too well. <\/p>\n<p>While hiding from enemies in a cardboard box might work against NPCs, Siege fans simply remember the game&#8217;s levels too intricately to be tricked by a random package lying around. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"rainbow-six-siege-solid-snake-gameplay-metal-gear-solid-update\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>&#8220;Our players already know every inch of every map, and among the team we have a saying, Operator&#8217;s eyes don\u2019t lie,&#8221; Mills told IGN. &#8220;So, if there were suddenly a box in the corner of a room on any given map our players would promptly shoot that box.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fair point, though sadly one which does mean we won&#8217;t be crouching inside any cardboard in Rainbow Six Siege anytime soon. <\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft first teased its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/rainbow-six-siege-tease-sees-splinter-cell-meet-metal-gear-solid-as-solid-snake-is-revealed-as-new-operator\">Rainbow Six Siege and Metal Gear Solid crossover<\/a> last month, when it showed Splinter Cell&#8217;s Sam Fisher taking a Codec Call. Full details on Snake \u2014 and a look at us playing as him \u2014 lie in the video above. And yes, that is indeed David Hayter providing his voice once again.<\/p>\n<p>Snake officially arrives in Siege as part of Season One: Operation Silent Hunt on March 3, which will also see the launch of a Gray Fox skin for Jackal, and a Meryl skin for Ash. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re excited to bring the world of Metal Gear Solid series into Rainbow Six Siege with Season 1&#8217;s new Redacted event, a limited-time 4v4 infiltration mode where Snake and Zero lead a team of elite Operators to recover stolen data,&#8221; Mills said. &#8220;The team also went a step further with &#8216;Last Assignment&#8217;, a new mission for Dual Front designed as a special nod to long-time Metal Gear Solid fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Metal Gear Solid may be one of the wildest crossovers for Rainbow Six Siege so far, but it\u2019s far from the first.
