Great game, I did not play this when it was new, just started recently so no nostalgia and I enjoy it. None of this zoomer nonsense of sliding 5 ways double jumping 360 casting abilities, just a fun shooter that takes skill and theres still an online community to play with.

I have played many tactical shooters and over twenty years after release, Raven Shield is still the gold standard. There are other games that do certain things better, but none feel like a complete package like RS3. The planning system, teammate switching, and atmosphere are incredible and the game was frankly ahead of its time. If you have any interest in classic games that are genuinely good and hold up, please play this.

Last true Rainbow game, Vegas games are OK but still they got nothing on R6 1 to 3.... man it is so sad looking at Siege.

Top 5 tactical shooter today. If they made a mod that is just a modern replica of this game it would be the best tactical shooter ever. The only negative i have to say, is that leaning with your back to a wall won't let you lean, and hostage rescues on elite difficulty seem impossible. Other than that it's a really good game. Just run through on easy mode to unlock every mission for replay, then just play all the non hostage rescue maps on elite. This game, along with SWAT3/4, Ghost Recon 2001, are the best tactical shooters out there. Wish they remade these kinda of games, they're legendary.
