Rainbow Six Siege updates gameplay with Operation Collision Point changes

Rainbow Six Siege's Operation Collision Point has introduced significant gameplay changes. Thunderbird's healing ability now provides periodic healing regardless of proximity, making her a more attractive choice for players. The new Mousetrap system addresses the keyboard and mouse advantage on consoles by placing players using these devices into PC lobbies. Additionally, crossplay now allows players to match based on input devices, creating separate ranks for console and PC users. Shields have been nerfed, making them easier to counter in melee situations. Ying's flashbangs have been adjusted to deploy more slowly, giving defenders a better chance to react. Blackbeard has been reworked to use a ballistic shield while wielding a primary weapon, enhancing his playstyle.
