Romier S Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Report is on Voodoo Extreme: http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/504/504749p1.html Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow improves upon the most successful Xbox Live game of all time with new single- and multi-player missions, new online modes, split-screen for cooperative gameplay, and a host of new features that maximizes the possibilities of Xbox Live. In fact, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow will be the one of the first games to deliver the new Xbox Live 3.0 features to the gaming community. More R6 coming your way guys! My head is still spinning wondering when the hell Ubi became the company it is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I sure did Joel. I apologize fellas, just moving around topics and posting stuff at the same time. Confusion can set in .

Romier S Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Confirmation at Gamespot with screens: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/04/07/news_6093093.html Black Arrow's campaign mode will once again see players assuming command of the four-man Team Rainbow squad, and able to issue voice commands to their colleagues using an Xbox Live headset. The game's plot focuses on a group of terrorists that has made repeated attempts to kidnap telemetry and rocket scientists so that it might develop weapons of mass destruction. It's up to Team Rainbow to stop the terrorists, and to prevent a potential conflict in the oil-rich regions around the Black Sea. In addition to the campaign, Black Arrow will boast a number of multiplayer gameplay options, including "Capture the Point" and "Capture the Flag" as well as those found in Rainbow Six 3. Also new to the game will be an option for players to discuss tactics and strategies in private team lobbies before taking part in online matches.

Chris F Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hesitatnt to post these, as I know people will proclaim "those graphics suck", but bear in mind they arent the best screenshots. It looks like they took small photos and blew them up. First Black Arrow screenies! http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=55166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 CTF mode = instant Must-Buy status. RS3 with this game mode would be totally awesome. Glad to see we are going to get new maps and missions too. Hopefully, they will sell it at a lower initial price point like they did GR:IT. Carlos.

Derrik Draven Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 This is definitely good news. More RS6!!!!! I really like the idea of private lobby's so that team member can plan their tactics. Cool stuff. I wonder if they'll do any tweaks to the voice recognition? I don't know if it's my voice, or what but...when I issue the command "move", it's like I'm talking to a brick wall. I always have to say "go go go". Actually, you can get away with "go go". Can't wait to play this one. Sure is a ways off though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdForged Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I really like the idea of private lobby's so that team member can plan their tactics. Really, same here. I wish Pandora Tomorrow had this so you could plan weapon loadouts and talk entry points and other goodies. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugms Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 In the game, players command a four-man international anti-terrorist squad comprised of the cream of the crop from the United States, Germany, Britain and France Maybe its just me but.......France?

dogbert Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Yes, it's just you. Ubisoft is French, and coincidentally, those are the four big game buying regions outside of Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, Rainbow (going back to the book here ) is by definition a multinational force, including French soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Yes, that's what the "Rainbow" means. Get it? If you have not read "Rainbow Six", I enthusiastically recommend it. Even if you are not a Tom Clancy fan, you need not have read his previous books to understand what is going on. The Rainbow Six team is a bunch of serious badasses. It's a gripping read, and one of my favorites from Tom Clancy. They get called in, and fuckers die! Great stuff. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLYING SE7EN Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Even though going to war without the French is like going hunting without an accordion, they do have some of the worlds best special forces. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris F Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Let's get things back on track people. This is a discussion about Rainbow Six : Black Arrow, not a discussion about The French, their military, or whether or not you may think they are or are not competent in a military situation.

Chatakinns Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I enjoy watching Cal and you guys playing Rainbow Six. There is a lot of action going on, and I really like the graphics in Six 3. As most everyone knows, Cal loves sniping, and it can be kind of suspenseful watching someone who is just as good as he is as a sniper when they are the only ones left alive. Every little movement in some of the rooms in the game can make you jerk in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Monkey Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I sure hope they put more modes into this game like Ghost Recon. I was surprised by the lack of Siege or Domination-type gameplay in RS3. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
