What is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege?

A first-person tactical shooter where two teams alternate between attack and defense in 5v5 matches. Defenders reinforce rooms, place traps, and monitor attackers, while attackers scout with drones, breach walls, and try to defuse the objective using operator-specific gadgets.
