You are the leader of the elite, multinational squad of special operatives in Rainbow Six: Raven Shield.
Rainbow Six: Raven Shield is the sequel to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, 2000 Action Game Of The Year, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, 1999 Action Game Of The Year*. It is the third game in the Rainbow Six line, which has sold more than 6.7 million copies worldwide as of March 2003.
The Rainbow Six franchise is known for its action-packed game play and heart-stopping realism, and Rainbow Six: Raven Shield will continue the tradition. Developed by Ubi Soft's Montreal studio, in close collaboration with Red Storm Entertainment, Rainbow Six: Raven Shield features a brand new Tom Clancy storyline in which Team RAINBOW is led all over the world in a string of dramatic operations. The game will utilize graphics technology provided by the next-generation Unreal engine to power 15 new single-player missions.
Buyer Reviews : Raven Shield is going to be the next best one-person shooter game when it comes out and this review will show you why!
FEATURES:
-57 guns from the old Rainbow Six games and a lot of new ones like the heavy machine gun RPD. There are 12 pistols, 14 sub-machine guns, 3 shotguns, 16 assault rifles, 5 sniper rifles, and 5 heavy machine guns. You can customize any of these guns by adding a mini scope or silence suppressor to it. Also the sounds of the guns are more varied so unlike in other Rainbow Six games where all the guns had around the same sound you almost will never hear that in Raven Shield.
-Amazing all new Next Generation Unreal Graphics give the game a Ghost Recon look but with Rainbow Six levels and gameplay. These graphics will be unmatched by any other game when it comes out. The Uniforms are unbelievably detailed with pistol holsters, frags hanging off belts, and the microphones positioned in front of the mouth.
-New camera view which is like Counterstrike and Medal of Honor where you can see the gun and not just the crosshairs. The only disadvantage of this new view is that the gun obstructs the view of some of the screen especially with all of the add-ons. The Red Storm designers are considering multiple views so the one you see in the Demo is not final.
-There are 15 single player maps and 6 multiplayer maps. If you have played any other Rainbow Six games this is usually the set number of maps for them. The single player maps are supposed to be much harder then any other Rainbow Six game because the AI's have actually become a challenge. Unlike the other Rainbow Six games where you could be standing right behind an AI for an hour and he wouldn't notice you.
GAME OVERVIEW:
-To make Raven Shield have a Ghost Recon feel Red Storm Designers let you assume all three positions in Raven Shield. Standing, Kneeling, and lying down . In the lying down position when using certain sniper and heavy machine guns you will even set up a tripod. When you switch from your primary you will actually put it in a pocket on your back and when you switch from a pistol you put it in a holster.
-A huge jump from other Rainbow Six games to Raven Shield is that there is now no more F1 view. This makes the game a lot more realistic and challenging then having a cheap view where you can peek around corners without exposing yourself.
-To all those Frag lovers out there, frag grenades in Raven Shield seem to have no power compared to other Rainbow Six games. You can throw a grenade into a small room with an enemy in it and easily still not kill him. But don't get me wrong, Frags still get the job done. Flashbangs on the other hand have dramatically improved. A flashbang easily covers the whole room and when it blows up your screen freezes and slowly in a 30 second period goes back to normal. The little bar that shows how far you are throwing your grenade or flashbang is gone so it makes throwing frags and flashbangs a little harder.
-The heart beat sensors have also improved greatly. You usually don't have a map somewhere on your screen where the enemy players show up like in other Rainbow six games. So now when you pull up the heart beat sensors they go up to your eyes and you look threw a whitish screen with crosshairs. When an enemy is near a white circle comes up on the screen and a beeping noise occurs. The faster the beeping noise, the closer your opponent is to you. Heat Seeking has also been added to the game and can be used by snipers with certain equipment. Nightvision is also a lot more realistic in Raven Shield then other Rainbow Six games. Unfortunately this makes it not as good as it used to be and almost totally unnecessary to use.
STRATEGIES:
-Take full advantage of the new Heart Beat sensor and small automatic sidearms. In my opinion the most effective all around gun is the MPA4 with a scope add on. Try to avoid using silenced suppressors because it may aggravate you back
