“Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6, formerly known as Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction,” said David Sears, creative director at Ubisoft. “This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 an extremely tense and immersive experience.”
The Story of Rainbow Six: Patriots

Description
The creative director and the narrative director sit down to talk about the controversial story of Rainbow 6 Patriots.
March 07, 2012.
"David Sears is no longer on the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots team and the new Creative Director is Jean-Sebastien Decant. The development team is still hard at work to deliver the next installment of the revered Tom Clancy series and more details on the game will be revealed at a later date."
Game Informer originally reported that Sears, narrative director Richard Rouse III, lead designer Philippe Therien, and animation director Brent George had all been removed from the project. The report cited unnamed sources, but it's worth noting that the four were all among the project heads interviewed for the magazine's cover story, which revealed the game.
Ubisoft offered no word on Rouse, Thieren or George, but the loss of the creative vision for the project mid-stream is bound to mess with the continuity the development team had already established.
