I currently only have the demo, and am eagerly awaiting the full version. The game is very realistic, and plays extremely well. Even on the demo there is a fairly large variety of weapons to choose from, including the assault rifles, sniper rifles, pistols, tons of different grenades, and amazing accessories like the heart sensor. In the full version, there is supposed to be tons more weapons, including shot guns! You can tell they went for realism, and it fits the gameplay extremely well. You first notice it when u fire a weapon. Generally, i like the most powerful guns, but not in this game because of its realism. I started off trying the m14, which has 100 out of 100 on damage, but i soon changed to the easier to use G36K, which is currently my favorite gun in the game, along with the mk23 pistol. The m14 acted like you would imagine a powerful gun would act. I fired off like 10 rounds in automatic mode, and ended up looking far away from where i was origionally aiming all the while when firing in automatic mode i could hardly aim, which then i realized how realistic the game seems to be. Now this might be a turn off to some people, and at first it was for me too. Origionally i liked games like Unreal tournament 2003 with the futuristic weapons, and aiming where it is always ends up hitting exactly where u aim, even while shooting and running. But after i played the demo for a few hours, I was hooked on realism in games. I liked the game so much, i even went out and bought Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon for xbox, which is also a good game. Even if realism isn't your thing, i still recomend u try out the demo from [website], and who knows, u might get hooked on realistic shooters just like i did.
The thing i also really like about this game over ghost recon, and other tom clancy games is that u can finally see your gun on the screen!
Could Be Great

This review is based on my experience with previous Rainbow Six titles and my experience with the demo.(v. 1.2 Download it if you havn't already) Anyway, It should be great. The graphics are very good, I think they use the Unreal 2 engine, and if you have a good computer, it is really pretty. The sounds are also top notch, from the guns to the footsteps of your unsuspecting enemies... I know the single player version will rule all, if you like realism, because all the other Red Storm games ruled all in single player. This is almost certainly going to continue that trend. With the amount of features and weapons at your disposal you cannot go wrong. Based on the multiplayer demo, I know friendlies and you will move well(as in squad formations) and the enemies will go down in 1 or 2 well placed shots, and so will you. Oh yea I forgot to mention that if you get shot in the leg, you start gimpin around and become a sittin duck.
The game hurts, in the demo anyway, in multiplayer. It is fun and all, but you basically have to have high speed internet, because if your ping is above 150 you will lag like crazy. Also the animations are a little blocky and not fluid. There are also quite a few bug([Darn] Ladder Bug!), but I expect all these things to be ironed out by the time the full version comes. It could be a great one. A must for fans of the series and realistic shooters. If you like unreal and the like, avoid this. It wont have mortar guns and hand held fusion generators at your disposal.
Played The MP demo, is good...

No Rephase that: Is PRETTY good! I've always slowed my pace down to sit back and enjoy Tom clancy games-especially the Rainbow Six series ones. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 2: rogue spear and it's expansions along with Tom Clancy's: Ghost Recon plus Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell really impressed me and not just because of the engine they used-but because of the hyper seamless real-time game play and storyline and tatics/physics and so on that really made the Tom Clancy games a true hit. Splinter Cells special point? Graphics, Physics, Audio, Environment, etc. Ghost Recon? Similiar to rainbow six, just a lot harder with better graphics ;-). rainbow six? real-time game play tatics and much more. After playing the Rainbow Six 3 MP demo, I was very impressed. The Graphics were very impressive since they were using the Unreal II engine, having it require a p3 600 with 128 mb of ram and a modern 3D hardwat t & L acceleartor(such as the geforce 2/radeon 7500 etc series). The game features realistic graphics, it's lighting engine is good but what really makes it special is it's detail on cloths, characters, weapons, environments(and not just tech-graphicslly), physics, and more. The reason why I give this four stars is because #1: It ain't perfect. #2: It's only MP in this demo. #3final: It can be fustrating. And a few other reasons I don't want to explain in this review. Ran decent on my system. My system is aging compared to the communities' though....:/. Oh well soon I'll be buying a NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR SDRAM + for it :) and 256 mb of pc800rdram, and soon after I'll be getting yahoo sbc dsl and a bit more :D! Well what does it matter. Lets just say the demo is great! I suggest it for tom clancy fan gamers :-)
Tested it and loved it

This game is awesome, no bsing you its damn good. The only game close to compare it to is counter-strike. Counter-strike is a type of game where you run around shooting everyone you see on the opposing force, no tactics involved really. Unless you in a clan match and have more communication with your team. But in Raven Shield tactics and strategy make your team win the round. If your with your team you have a greater chance of surviving than if you were alone running around. The game doesnt rely on how fast and accuratetely you can put your cursor over an enemy, but it requires you to think before you open a door, and watch your back. The way you can open the door slightly to peak through is a great idea. I've tested the game before, despite its glitches and problems, its a great game. I suspect the problems will be fixed before retail, and if they aren't its just a matter of time before they send out some patches for the game. If your looking for a strategic first person shooter with awesome graphics, this is a must buy.
Yeah

... there are 6 dedicated MP maps, that means they are on a server setup by the producer or ubi whatever, you will be able to use all 15 16 maps in multiplay, yeah it was very buggy but they got alot of it fixed I have not seen repeative textures or anything yet. I would say everyone should get this game that has played tactical shooters, I know the tactical shooters are the best specially this one, I have noticed over time in the mp demo that there is alot of good stuff on it, and the ladder bugs can be annoying but I played the SP demo and I have not seen 1 bug yet, Great game forsure
Great Game, Must Buy

I just bought this game and i love it already. The controls are very hard at first, but you get used to them. You really need to complete the training portion of this game to know how to do basic controls. The game is worth every penny and it is very fun to play.
Tom Clancy is at it again!
