Here's a screenshot from the new Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield.

The reasons to buy this game are endless. With a decent computer (1.5GHz + 256M+ current or next gen graphics card) and a broadband connection it is the cheapest and most fun you can have on a saturday night. :)
 
If you teach your kids proper gun handling, it actually carries over to the games, and the games become "simulators" rather than games. If you discuss tactics and tecniques with them while they play, it opens a whole new way to play. If you think your good, just try playing without taking a hit. :)

Kids should have live fire under their belts before they have game fire. :)
 
I have had Rainbox Six - Rogue Spear for quite a while and it is way cool. This one looks even better. Maybe I'll invest even though I stink at games.

Raven Shield is pretty good...it gets the gun juggling just right. Night sights on the pistols, blast and recoil modeled properly, slides lock back, magazine changes are done properly. When you change a mag on a locked-back slide, the character drops the slide on a fresh mag with the slide stop. When you do a tactical reload, the old mag goes out and the new one goes in...and the round count is now accurate, i.e. 16 rounds for the Beretta 92.

That game is a major bonanza for gun geeks. FN P90s, several varieties of MP5s, HK G3s and G36s, FALs, M14s, M16s and M4s, HK USPs, and even belt-fed stuff.
 
Sweet! Looks like Raven Shield and Splinter Cell will be my "Independent Studies" this summer :D
 
Let's replace those damn UN patches too :D

I think the nicest touch is the +1 when you start the mission or do a "tactical" :barf: reload.

USP starts with 14 unless you go to slide lock and reload, then it's down to 13.

They said something about the guns being configurable, I guess I"ll have to fire up a single mission.
 
That is by far the most fun FPS I've ever played. I bought it the day it came out. I'm still only on mission 2 because I play them until I can plan then well enough that I loose NOT ONE operative. It's tough, but it's a blast. The graphics are awesome on my GeForce 4 4600. Lately I find myself using the MP5 ni 10mm and the M4. :)
 
Raven Shield may be good....but it can not compare to the realism of Operation Flashpoint!
 
More gun handling goodies.

I been being a good boy and shooting one and loading one with the Benelli, but went empty tonight. The first round is loaded into the chamber, the bolt closes, then the operator feeds into the magtube, unlike games where they're loaded into the tube, then pump the slide, like a dramatic operator!

The shotgun patterns well, about what it should be, it doesn't pattern a foot per yard like most computer game shotguns. Unfortunately there's no select slug. The Compact ACOG is neat though :D Seems like a scope w/ such a short eye relief on the shotgun would give you ouchey-eye though?

Reehaw! :D
 
I've only played the demo but it seemed pretty good and realistic. But my sissy avatar can't reload a shotgun for crap. :D
 
This all makes me feel old....

When I was big into video games, the best stuff available was Contra on the original Nintendo... even playing Golden Eye on the N64 years later took me off guard.

Times (technology, rather) are changing.
 
Do we finally have an "official" first person shooter (multiplayer) for The High Road members? This would be a watershed event in our on-line history.
