    Yes, it would have been interesting to see how it turns out in multiplayer, as this TPV was only possible in T-Hunt and in the campaign (while not connected to the PSN or XBL).

    If they change it into FPS no one will play it. We want Rainbow six to stay the same!

    ^^ Er? Rainbow has always been a FPS. It has a TP cover mechanic and then they added the option to play it in total TPV later on in the series. It wasn't well realized though and was pretty detrimental to the overall quality of the gameplay.
    Rainbow will probably lose more fans if it goes full TPV, just because that's not what it ever was.

    I could go for it though, if it was done well. I mean, you get FPV anyway when you hold the aim switch (not sights/scope) in most. Can't imagine it would be hard to make an option to set that as the default view.
    Gotta fully build around the TPV if it's going to be included though.

But Ubisoft continures to stray away from the what made them a success---a brutal close quarter FPS (none of that 3rd person cover) that required the use of brains and tactics to be the last man standing.

    You are both greatly mistaken! The RS series started off as a TP/FP Shooter where you had a choice to switch any time you wanted at any given time. If you don't believe me pop your old cd in (if you have one), trust me I played enough of the RS & RS:RS to know. When Ubisoft bought RSE they turned it into a FPS only.

    However you're correct when it comes to the GR series, it originally started off as a FP Shooter only, until GR2 (console), Then PC keep the FP view and console kept the TP view.

    Having the ability to use both or stick with which ever one you like, can only be a plus in my book. If they intend on going back to their roots, that would be the way to go.

    The series started fading when Ubisoft bought RSE up and started changing everything that originally made it popular.

    It had both TP & FP views you could switch back & forth or stick with either.

    Check out this footage of my favourite mission in the original RS and you'll see at 1:21 in the video the player finally uses the TP view to retrive the data from the PC, just so he can keep an eye on the door!

    I loved this game along with Rogue Spear, I had some fond memories playing pvp on MSZone. Those 2 games are my all time favorite games of all time!

    Ahhh.. those were the days. I plugged some many hours into both those games in MSZone. Such great games! That video almost brought a tear to the eye, so many fond memories.
