RainbowSix: Ravenshield Single Player Demo
« on: March 06, 2003, 12:08:05 PM »
The single player demo was released by Redstorm. Can be downloaded here:

They did an excellent job on the bad guy AI. They now have more "human" reactions to being attacked. Many run and hide or try to outflank ya. Overall the demo is great. I'm enjoying the heck out of the AK-47. :)

Btw, the full game is coming out March 18.

This game rocks!  I've been playing the multiplayer demo for some time now.  It's easily the top or second first person shooters out right now...and it's only a demo!  Can't wait for March 18th!

I'm a huge fan of the R6 series, it was the first game i ever played online.

I like the demo but for some reason smoke kills my FPS.  I  play the game with the graphics up to max with great FPS but as soon as i see smoke my computer starts to die.  I tried playing the game with all graphics options at low (off if they could be) and they same thing happens.  I have ticked the simple smoke box but it stills kills my computer.:(

Apart from that it's great, quite a few people have issues with the ragdoll death sequences though.  I quite like it, only a few times have i seen it do stupid stuff. It's great when you kill a guy and he falls over the railings etc- it's really fluid like.

The AI is definately smarter.  This is definately the best R6 game by a long shot.

for some reason Raven Shield, ghost recon, rainbow six, and whatever other games, just dont hit the spot for me.

I played the Raven Shield multiplayer demo and I didn't think it was that good.  What turns you guys on?

I'm more partial to OFP.

I play OFP too... I think RavenShield is better.  If you haven't tried the single player demo yet.. do so.  The AI is the toughest I've seen.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I loved RS: Rogue Spear. Played it tod eath but avoided the mods, as 99% sucked. Mostly coop with buddies, but also some team action, but netcode was pretty crappy.

Been waiting for a new version. Ghost Recon was fun but not as good because I like the more urban environment in RS.

And now I just played the demo. And it RUNS OK ON MY 1GHZ GEFORCE 1 puter! Woooh!

Not only that; annoying things in Rogue Spear are fixed. AI are 100 times smarter and will hide, lob grenades and outflank ya.

AND no 'this weapon is light therefore tango will get it aimed at your head faster than a heavy weapon and therefore it will actually be more lethal crap'. No more very shot tango fires hits. Now I have firefights and I can hear impacts all around me. Now I can direct my team mates.

Oooh and smoke grenades work sooo well. Throw one, send squaddies over, then fnalk those son of squeakes neo nazi motherfu...ehm...

They licensed a graphics engine and focused on game play, and just from the demo I must say it has worked out. It is better than I expected, especially since Red Storm Entertainment passed it on to a third party, who obviously took it seriously.

Game is gonna arrive here either tomorrow or monday. Ordered it from the US for an extortion price, but what the hell.

PUNT. Anyone interested in 1st person tactical shooters NEED this game, as in medically need.

Hold on. Pager. DAMN! NEW neo nazis have occupied the just REPAIRED oil refinery! 30 of 'em. Clark says I gotta go in alone, and I only have a AK47 with scope....

:D :D


AAAAAAAAAAAGH GAME PLEASE COME TOMORROW PLEEEAAAAASE
