During its first launch the User Interface of Rainbow Six Siege was on it's last legs of using Flash. Containment is the last event made solely through Flash as we moved to Phoenix, an new in-house made engine, for interface development.

Flash gave us more flexibility in terms of visual designing and theming than Phoenix, which is why there's a very different feel between the 2022 release and 2024 edition.

Tiles were using a simply blurred transition image for roll-overs and were made to match depending of the vertical or horizontal layout. This time the subject was all made on the Nest system, this tile was based on the artworks of our illustrators and concept artists.

It was a very fun experience as teams from both Extraction and Siege were collaborating together. That thematic spreaded, litteraly, to the operator card backgrounds.

The Loading Screen and Tactical Map (top othographic view) were custom made as usual. Rarely we use fixed respawn points systems for Siege from the base game.

As all events have a unique map, we then need to consider wether we create a re-render of the tactical map and all its floor layers.

The Nest system is an integral part of the gamemode, as of such I developped a state based icon system that could reflect the progress of the attackers. It was coded by Joshua Crozman at the time and, its UX, supervised by Sébastien François.

This sytem was ported, re-coded and re-animated in its 2024 release.
