I like this series better than the Ghost Recon series in general, so I can't wait for this one to come out. Did any of you used to play Rainbow Six: Raven Shield a lot?

I've never played any of the Rainbow Six games, but this may be a purchase for me.

Yeah, I like it better than Ghost Recon just because this is a little more urban tactical police stuff. It usually ends up being a more expansive game. You make use of Flash Bangs, Smoke, and Tear Gas a lot. Plus, the teamwork seems a little tighter.

They claim the release date will be November 7th, but I'll believe that when I see it.

I still play RS sometimes! Its a nice break from just 'run and gun' style games.

I think that's why I like it PT. I just get pissed off when I play Call of Duty on Multiplayer. No real strategy.

I haven't finish playin' COD3, but this game is on my list to buy. How did you guys find the time to finish ANY game? :)

Demiurge

I have only reached 1000 points on Fight Night Round 3. That's the only game I have truly finished.

I also beat G.R.A.W. on easy and hard mode, and completed a crapload of the multiplayer achievements, but I'll never be #1 on the leaderboard, among other things so I think it's safe to say that game is as beat as it will get.

Same with Saints Row. It's impossible to truly finish most games because a handful of the achievements are ridiculous.

Picked up Vegas last night on the way home from work...fantastic game! LONG first level too...but it does a good job of ramping things up in a transparent matter, and the overall immersion factor is great. I'll be playing this one for a while, no doubt.

I always loved the Rainbow Six games. I'm going to snatch up the PC version soon.

Anyone else getting the PC version?

Demiurge

In the politically correct version they don't use bullets, but rubber flowers.

Hot damn is this game sick. Love, love, love it. XBox 360 alone is worth it for G.R.A.W. and R6: Vegas.

Yeah this game is so freaking incredible....We played terrorist hunt online...WOW! Those guys are insane on normal mose plus they taunt the hell out of you...calling you names...saying your shooting sucks, telling you to quit hiding behind walls like a p*ssy....I just laugh at them talking.

Personally this game kicks GoW ass.

Thank you UBI!!!

I was in a game with you the other night. Unless it was one of your kids. Then you just left like a jerk. :p

Sounds like I have to buy this game, huh?

polkatese

Sounds like Demi has to buy us this game, huh?

Amazon will hand delivered the game on Wednesday. Thanks to Demi! :)

Hmmm must have been one of my kids...Next time that happens give me a heads up so I dont leave you hanging Demi.

Last three nights me and my neighbor have been doing terrorist hunt on Live to finish all the maps and get the acheivement. (60 points) Next we are going to start doing the Campaign. I already have the Pistoleer acheivement (150 terrorist kills with a pistol) That one was pretty damn fun.

Feel free to join us on campaign...we could always use an extra hand/weapon.

Oh and FYI for potential buyers...this is not a kid friendly game for people with young ears....I have not heard this much cussing in a sitting since Pulp Fiction. The terrorists have potty mouths..:eek: :D F*Bombs galore.

POlkatese...whats your gamertag...not sure if I have it or not.

oh man, I love this game. I can't get over how amazing the PQ and SQ are.

I've finished COD3 last week and has started playing this one. I am still in a Mexican's train yard right now. I have to say I like GRAW much much better. This blurry PQ shit drives me crazy. Sorry Demi, it doesn't compare to GRAW in terms of PQ and enjoyment.

Merry Christmas all!

Bought it last night. Look for me to be playing it all weekend.

awesome game...and a tough challenge...

I'm currently in the Fremont street level..

I also play terrorist hunt with a friend online....haven't tried a game with strangers..I'd probably get killed too fast

Shizelbs

So far I've played a fair amount of the first level in the campaign. Its pretty cool. The graphics are great. I like the style and execution of commands better than GRAW at this point.

Coming to PS3 soon, have to check it out.

Shizelbs

I'm going to play as much as I can this week, but I'm just not getting into this game. The campaign is alright, but the multiplayer blows. Maybe its me that blows, but I don't like it at all.

Toka78

01-29-2007, 02:19 PM

I have to agree. By the time I finished the SP, I was pretty well tired of it. MP I couldn't even get into at all...and by the time they 'patched' it I was already off the ship. Lost Planet cured that ill feeling, I'll say that much. :)

R6:V will be trade-in fodder for either Forza or Mass Effect.

Hmm...it seems apparent that I am much more a fan of multi-player that requires a bit of strategy as opposed to the button mashing "BOOM YOU'RE DEAD" stuff that GoW and the CoD series offers. I hate that shit.

Don't get me wrong, I love GRAW. Its probably my most played game of my 360 games. I love the multiplayer and single player alike. This multiplayer for Vegas though just sucks.

Demiurge

01-29-2007, 11:00 PM

What exactly is the difference besides the maps and player mapping? :confused:

I like the co-op multi player where yer playing with a friend together..haven't tried the other stuff though....just finished the single player...now it's on to Gears of War..

New map pack is out today. You all can look for me online tonight. I think this will be the game de jour.

Shizelbs

06-27-2007, 05:56 PM

Nevermind, the new map pack was posted, then taken back down for some unknown reason yesterday. I got the first map pack, but not the latest release. Damn. I didn't end up playing anyways. But, tonight, yeah, thats another story. One that probably will involve Gears of War.

My son plays this online a lot; he's an elite now. Looks like a great game, but how can you continue playing the same thing over and over again??? Boring after a few games if you ask me...

Shizelbs

06-27-2007, 08:03 PM

There is the challenge of trying to get better and better. Up your stats. Cause its fun. To make fun of teenagers online. There are lots of reasons.

lol i paid for the mappack and played it like two times after lol

i don't really like this rainbow six.....the older one on regular xbox was easier for me....it seemed a lot easier to see guys on the older ones....las vegas is too realistic and i really struggle to see people at night time with those night vision goggles
