Rainbow Six: Patriots

They just need to remake ravenshield with a decent engine and they would be onto a winner its not hard :(
 
Trash.

I think I'd feel less hostile towards it if it wasn't carrying the Rainbow Six name. It looks like a halfway-decent console shooter, but it's not a tactical FPS by any stretch of the imagination. I miss the old days of Rogue Spear and Raven Shield.

This mod team may have done exactly that: http://www.moddb.com/mods/raven-shield-two-point-zero

I was plodding through some gaming nostalgia today and came across RAVEN SHIELD 2.0, not had a chance to dl it yet but if there's still anyone playing it would be epic. By far the best game i ever played and the most fun. Wish there was a stats record of how many hours I played...

Also: http://www.rvsgaming.com/ still seems active :eek:

it really is that simple - been hoping for this for almost a decade. i haven't been able to play more than 5 min of a R6 game since "Letdown"

UBi killed 2 of the greatest FPS series ever: R6 and Ghost Recon, all because of consoles. bring back Redstorm and not the guys who make Prince of Persia

I would post the article, but it formats terribly from a copy and paste. A new, quality, first class Rainbow Six is what the industry needs I think.

The team lobby is an 'HQ', an actual game space where players can meet, view a model of the map, and even enter a virtual version of it where they can lay down markers and save a custom game plan. In-game, there's a vault move to improve navigation, you can tag enemies to make them visible through walls to your team-mates, and new weapons and abilities are unlocked on the team level rather than for individual players. It's a world away from Call of Duty's twitch deathmatches.

Mod looks great going to try that this weekend. I dont want to get my hopes up but that interview reads like they know we want RVS style play again so we can only keep our fingers crossed thats what we get.

Raven Shield was amazing. I'd love a remake of something along those lines.

Same, I really enjoyed Raven Shield "back in the day" because the weapons, level design and difficulty on the hardest setting was probably the most realistic you can get to the real thing, regardless of the fact you can't use fancy cover or do barrel rolls like tom cruise on acid.

1 shot 1 kill sort of gameplay if you hit a target in an actual "kill zone" (chest or head) was seriously original for the time and added a great deal to the FPS market which still hasn't fully caught on to that yet.

Compare COD or BF3, where it will take you around 5+ rounds to kill someone if you hit them in the chest, with 1-2 rounds for the head on the normal modes. This is all whilst your flying around like superman...
 
Bring back a proper game like raven shield, so much better then todays poor fps games.

Where tactics were key, guns killed, you had options, nice game features, amazing co-op full of complete team play.

RO2 has been a great and a a proper raven shield remake would be amazing but it won't be this.

O and regarding Raven Shield 2.0 didn't ubisoft shut them down? It sounded great though.

Just read that 2.0 is live again.

Me too bud, easily the best years of gaming I have ever had and probably ever will have. GCSE 4 month break was spent playing this game solidly. Oh how I miss it, the community was awesome aswell. Memories :(
