Rainbow Six: Siege video explains input driven cover and lean mechanics

Ubisoft has posted a new video for Rainbow Six: Siege, detailing the cover and navigation system of the upcoming shooter. This video is the part of their monthly web series called Behind the Wall Series where the community developer Chase Straight talks about some of the core gameplay elements that are implemented to make the game more realistic and more tactical

Their new dynamic cover system and free lean system gives full control over the character. For instance while performing an action such as setting up a defensive wall, you don’t have to follow the entire cinematic sequence instead you can cancel the animation at any time so that you take pull out your weapon to kill enemy around you.

Chase also explains the free lean system which will basically allow you to lean left or right at any point of time. This system is very useful to create cover freely in the environment
