In their own words
Siege Codex
Siege Codex helps Rainbow Six Siege squads plan rounds by selecting strategies and assigning operators and jobs. Its community catalog sorts strategies by map, bombsite, and side; a video walkthrough is required for published strategies. Players can also build strategies with operator assignments, loadouts, instructions, images, and video, then keep them private or publish them. The Coach Board sends an assigned player a briefing with their loadout and instructions. It remains open for one minute unless they leave or receive a different assignment. Team Up helps players find teammates by platform, region, rank range, comms, and schedule. The app also has a timed Siege Quiz and a rated strategy vault. It runs in desktop and mobile browsers and can be installed on a device. Match data is not saved for offline use. The free plan includes strategy browsing, squad participation, briefings, teammate search, and the quiz. Full Access costs $5 a month or $45 a year, with automatic renewal until canceled. Siege Codex describes itself as an independent fan-made companion, not affiliated with Ubisoft.
Spawning Tool
Spawning Tool is a free site for sharing StarCraft 2 replays and build orders, with tools for learning from game data. Build browsing supports filters such as race, matchup, build type, difficulty, patch, contributor, and playable-build format. Replay search can narrow results by players, events, maps, leagues, game length, date, patch, and VOD availability. Research pages summarize replay data with tag counts and win rates by game time and matchup, and let users explore players, units, abilities, events, and other match details. Users can upload individual .SC2replay files or .zip replay packs, add optional VOD links and tags, and browse downloadable tournament replay packs. A replay-pack upload requires login. The Overwolf Build Advisor follows a selected build order in a live in-game overlay, synchronizing steps with the game timer. Spawning Tool says there is currently no charge to upload replays or use its data. The team accepts bug reports, feature requests, and help questions by email or through @spawningtool on Twitter. Replay data can be provided in a usable format on request, but server and direct database access are not offered.
