    Just watched a 24 minute video of MP play of this game. Classis "Hostage-Rescue-Defend" scenario.

    Only saw one mission, but the game play looks interesting. Takes a lot of communicating and team work to be successful. BTW, this was the game that got me into fps. Played Rainbow Six for hours, and hours.

    Anyone see this???????

    Always looking for NEW adventures. :)

    I was never a big fan of the Rainbow Six games, I mean they had some things going their way but I couldn't get into them as much as other games. There was suppose to be a Rainbow Six game I thought in the works called "Liberty" but I guess they scrapped that idea or something.

    Yeah Rainbow Six was a punishing game, I loved every frustrating minute. Played through it more times than I can count. This new one looks good.

    This looks pretty nice. High levels of cooperation and organisation required. But it looks great

    Played one entire weekend with a few groups. We started on a Saturday morning and finished that Sunday evening. Just RS6 Terrorist Hunt. Scheduled breaks and stuff.

    RS6 has always had a strong SP element. Co-Op was a big reason many of us played the game. Planning, weapons load outs, routes to take...etc. Solid, tactical game play. It WAS (one of ) the first "one-shot-one-kill" fps. No health regenerates, no medics.
    No weapons ladders, or uniforms. Everything was available at the start.
    Has been around since 1998? Have tried every game, none have surpassed the original.
    Maybe this time they get it right?
    Juggernaut, if you get the chance try the RS6 Raven Shield. Seriously still a good game. If you decide to get this one.................WE ARE playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

    Hmmmm RS6 for PC and original Xbox... don't think I can try it lol. And if I get Rainbow Seige we are playing together? Well if it is coming out for Xbox one then im definitely trying to out!
    Of course you would have to walk me through the entire mechanics and save my life 24/7 and im more of a silent type so you would have to communicate with my rhotacism plagued helium fueled voice... that can be quite helpful and not at all CoD squeaker related... this might actually work...I think... if you get a xbox one...

    Too bad...........................I am PC mainly player. But I highly recommend the RS6 series if you can try it out.
    Tactical, slow, planning, and then lots of action!!!!!
    Its probably why I sux at the latest fps..........................too fast for me I like it tactical and slow and silent.

    I love a bit of planning and tactical decisions as well.

    This actually reminds me of Hostages on my Atari ST!! (or Operation Jupiter as it seems to be called outside the UK)

    Had to look THAT one up!
    I remember playing that on the old NES with my two sons. My youngest could get trough the search lights and set up the snipers. My oldest was an uber-sniper. Then me, the old man cleared out the building and saved the hostages.
    Hours of fun. Ate a lot of pizzas too! LOL

    RS6 announced a Closed Beta sign up. They are going to have it finally. Should make for a better game!

    I signed up and (hopefully) I will be selected to participate! (I sent them a signed blank check too.......:p)

    Looks like an excellent game. Only concern is as a sort of Lone Wolf player I think it may not be so enjoyable.

    And the many hours I've played Rainbow Six games is beyond a joke. :)

    Yeah, if you are like you and me and tend to play on our lonesome then it would be tough, everyone needs to be on mic for comms and being on the same page is crucial...its a shame, maybe we need to stop being no friends normans and make a time to team up...:)

    I like that..............."no friend normans"...................:D

    This game will take some communication to be successful, but that will make it a great game. Besides, VOIP are cheap and easy to use.

    This is on the radar for the X1.

    Along with Hardline, Halo 5, Battlefront, Elite Dangerous, The Division, Eldar Scrolls and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

    2015 is trying to bankrupt me!!!!!
