Rainbow Six 3/& black arrow has been the best online game i have ever played. despite the graphics, the gameplay was simply amazing. Lockdown was a terrible addition to the rainbow six series. now Vegas doesn't even feel like rainbow six. What happen?

does any one agree that ubisoft should at least remake black arrow for the 360? maybe just update the graphics a bit

OMFG. I completely agree man. I'm so bummed that NONE of the rainbowsix games are anything REMOTELY close to Black arrow

This was handsdown my most favorite game I've ever played multiplayer on. So much strategy involved and so many different guns that were on par with each other.

The choice of gun literally boiled down to your play style, in all these new games its not a matter of 'preference' anymore, its the freaking Tar21 or the Famas [in Rainbowsix Vegas], or the Commando. All other guys completely blow compared to these 3.

I totally agree.
A have played all pc versions of rainbow six and all after 3. just aren't that.
I just started to reed the BOOK. Original source of these games. And reading I more and more understand how far we have gone from original strategic shooter Rainbow six. In latest versions are no more realistic things except the look. Rainbow six have became just one more action shooter - don't we already have enough of them.

I completely agree black arrow was and is the shizz, i'd much rather play it then his vegas ****. please ubi remake black arrow with new graphics and some of the scarce good new features in vegas like snake cam n shooting through cover. **** ill pay 60 bones for a updated black arrow. ubi sold out when it made the vegas series end of story. and please no more regenerating health, its not halo.

I concur on this as well. Those that think the "next gen" Rainbow games are soooooo great, didn't experience the thrill of a 3 or 4 hour clan match where it came down to the final kill on Streets Of Milan, or didn't experience a playoff clan match on the old Gamebattles or Team Compete sites. They probably never just played for hours in a server playing round after round of Garage or Presidio, or killing stupid people that walked next to red barrels on the airfield in airport! Nothing can come close to duplicating the fun that was Rainbow Six 3 and then Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow online on the original box. All of us old school Rainbow players understand, because it's still hands down the best online experience we've ever had. I respect the next gen quality of the story and killer graphics on Vegas, and I enjoy the story mode on Vegas and Vegas 2, but when you get to the multiplayer, it loses its luster after awhile. As another poster said earlier in this thread, I really hope Ubisoft could bring a new version of Black Arrow for the new consoles out, with some new maps and maybe the snake cams and a couple other Vegas items, but leave the gameplay alone. The fun was in the strategy, and learning how to be a good individual player in all aspects, not just find the best gun and spray. Ubisoft, please listen to us, and bring back our favorites.

Does anyone still play RB63 for PS2?

I still occasionally play it for Xbox, but not online. I only played a few games of either RB63 or Black Arrow (can't remember which) online. I kept getting put into foreign rooms so the lag was bad.

But the gameplay in the original Rainbow Six games (for the consoles) was hands down the best. Far better than this **** in Vegas 1 and 2 (both of which I refuse to include the title rainbow six or Tom Clancy).

Although I haven't yet had the privilege of playing the original PC games, I can get a half-decent idea of what they were like. Black Arrow had no stupid regenerating health and was much more realistic. You didn't have to put a ridiculous amount of bullets into a terrorist to kill him, the terrorists behaved more realistically, and so much more. Even the movement was different. It was less smooth, which I think was supposed to simulate realism and discourage running and gunning. You could open doors quietly instead of only throwing them open like in Vegas. There was the lean feature which was more realistic and far superior than the current cover system. I could go on and on.

UBI started selling out on Rainbow Six after Lockdown. They made it into another fun and gun, cheesey hollywood movie-style action game that isn't anything special. Rainbow Six used to be special because it was unique. It took a chance at making a semi-realistic shooter and I think UBI did well with it. Now they just went the way of every other gaming company - they don't care about making Game of the Year-worthy games as long as their profits continue to soar by making craptastic clones of other games (that stay true to their genre for the most part) like Halo and Gears of War.

From time to time I'll pop in to R63 or BA coop Terrorist Hunt.

I'd like to regain my #1 legit status on R63 in coop. Maybe I'll try over the summer.

Does anyone still play R6:3 on xbox I never got a chance to play its multiplayer I didnt have xbox live.

I honestly don't know. I only played it a few times, and that was YEARS ago. I wouldn't suspect many still play it, if any. Although there's a chance that many of the hardcore players still play it from time to time. It's worth checking out, the gameplay is far better than Vegas.

Then I will same as I will with Ghost Recon 2. The funny part is that the old games are better than the new ones. Thanks for the info.

It's in the top 10 original xbox games played on Live from time to time.

I like all in Rainbow six 3 except lack of enemy footsteps sound. It is hard to detect them. You always have to watch 360* and check your 6. Yea, If terrorists would be more noisy I would say it is best game in the world. Or maybe in some aspects SWAT 4 is better, because I almost could play it blindfolded. Rainbow six 3 is good, because you have need for snipers cose of long ranges. But they both are good tactical shooters.
SWAT
R6 3
I like old R6 3 !!!

i loved the original rainbow six. I still play it even though i'm young. play it more than vegas

lol i am not the only one that misses black arrow and 3. Those game require alot of planning for each map not its all run and gun.

I didn't think people still played the old rainbow six 3 for xbox. I owned like 3 copies of rainbow six 3 cause i played the crap out of it. It was just that damn good. I played in the first championship that team compete held that i think ubisoft sponsored. It was one hell of a match lasting 5 hrs. I was in super friends facing armed and dangerous. We came in second but it was an fun experience. 110 winning streak aint too bad lol. I just know that there will never be a game like that again. That takes that much team work and dedication. Hopefully ubisoft starts to listen to people and make a new rainbow and go back to the original roots cause the rainbows there making now is garbage. It probably aint going to happen but u can always hope for it. damn im gone srry if it doesnt make sense lmao!!!!

lol who doesnt like the good ole days

yeah i would definitely agree that ubisoft should remake the old rainbows for the 360, the game play was perfect and unbias, it still be cool to keep it modern and be able to change stuff. but only if it doesnt affect your corrector. if ubi did that i think they could have another number 1 sell on there hands, but that is if ubi even looks at these and take these into consideration at all, but i highly doubt it

WE WANT A NEW VERSION of RAINBOW SIX 3 a suit of BLACK ARROW would be so so i repeat so SHEET
or maybe a RE-RELEASE of Rainbow six 3 or Black Arrow in high-def....

PLZ UBISOFT listen to us the GAMERS we are a large community who want this to happend and beleive me we will spread the word to make are DREAM come true!!!
