Despite being a true classic, this game is very difficult to enjoy today, as it has undeniably aged quite a lot. If you are a big fan of the genre, it is certainly worth giving it a try, but for me personally, it was a rather challenging experience, especially considering that I have also played all the old Splinter Cell games. I did my best, but ultimately, I couldn't bring myself to finish the campaign. Still, I have a lot of respect for the old Rainbow Six titles, particularly for their gameplay and art direction. It has always been sad for me to see Rainbow Six Siege gradually turn into such a cartoony FPS. However, Rainbow Six Tactics was recently revealed, which gives me some hope that there is still a future for the franchise.
How i got it to work. Go to game file- System- right click RavenShield- Properties- Compatibility- compatibility mode- run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (service Pack 2)- Go down to Settings- Run in 640 x 480- Run this Program as an administrator. Then, fit apply and launch the game from the folder or create a desktop short cut and launch it from there (launching it from the steam button seemss to not work right).
The last Rainob Six, before Ubis decided to kill the series. Intro and all, is present, team selection, weapons, extrea gear, then armor type and camo, plan building, which is the key feature of this game. Mission itself takes way less time, than time spent creating a plan, way less. Though, plan doesn't let you create any and advanced combined plans with predefined triggers. The easier you make it, the better for your, for your team, and your sanity, because as it is often the case for the older games like that, there really isn't any AI here, it is more of a 0 - don't see the target, 1 - target spotted, 0 - cease fire, 1 - open fire. Keep that in mind, if you are not used to be playing games like that, then it might be hard for you to get used to. Pretty much every suspect is a special forces veteran. I think the enemies AI is better than R6 team. They are also cheating, but as I wrote earlier 0/1. If any pixel of your character sticks out somewhere, enemy spots you instantly, snaps at you, and they instantly shart shooting, before they have even risen their hand, and weapon up, though it might be the default animation, or more like lack of the proper aiming one. Your R6 team mebers show exactly 0/1 login when executing a plan, if you want them to get somewhere, they will go there at all cost, they don't really look around or anything, just go straight and brrrrrrrrrrt brrrrrrrrrrrt at the enemies. You have some "modes" of behavior while planning, but I personaly don't really bother. Beside this, enemies react to what is happening, they run, hide, camp, attack you, change position, throw grenades. Visualy, in 2026, still looks good, sounds good, technicaly beside the flaws, that's all we got, and most important of all, for me, shooting, hitting, and eliminating suspects mechanics are so enjoyable, I can never get enough of them. The ragdoll is perfect, you hit a guy, weapon is dropped, he falls dead. Maps are well designed, you have variety of possibilities, up to 3 teams at your disposal.
