Oh I remember it fondly (enjoyed the book too). My original gaming handle was even Ding Chavez. Although my handle changed, all my gaming friends still call me 'Ding'.

I absolutely loved the mission planing aspect of the game. I must have replayed that first game hundreds of times. Me and my brother got so proficient we started doing speed runs of each level. We made some pretty complex plans and had it down to a science. Iirc we beat the opening mission in 37seconds.

I was disappointed with the original Xbox Rainbow Six, but I was happy enough with what Vegas & Vegas 2 brought to the game. But I do wish the game had a more open approach to solving the mission like the original. Now its just another cinematic FPS on rails.

Side Note: Vegas2 + Terrorist Hunt + Murdertown + Realistic Difficulty + Max Terrorist Count + 5 minute time limit = One of the hardest things I ever completed. I cant count how many times my brother and I co-oped trying to beat that.

looks good, i dont understand why its not coming out until 2013, its been in development a while now!! ohwell.

You've been playing since Rainbow 1? cool, then maybe you remember what none of my friends don't. I keep telling people that the original rainbow6 had us separated into 3 or 4 groups that the player had control of. we started off on a map screen where you literally plot out your way-points for Alpha, Beta, Charlie teams. when the mission starts, they run off to your assigned points and wait there until you give them the order to move to the next way-point.

at the end of the day, when your mission was completed, you felt like you really planned and executed an operation. the best feeling in the world. and when things went wrong, you had to improvise on the fly by redirecting or executing your team's movements early just to get the job done.

it was simply awesome, and I can't see why they left that style of gameplay for standard FPS gameplay. it really separated itself from the rest of the bunch.

Holiday 2013 next gen console.. Would be perfect, i hope 60fps 8xAA 1080p

I hope they improve the aiming, movement, and cover mechanics to make it a little more fluid. I have been playing Rainbow 6 since the very first game, and I have always found the player control to be extremely clunky and cumbersome.

Overall though, the concept looks fine.

It is definitely time for a new R6 game, target footage doesn't look out of reach for in engine, bring it on. Hell use Epics new unreal engine if target is 2013 they will have plenty of time, who knows, could be primed for a next gen launch rather then current gen.

hopefully they have a new engine.. this game used to be my favorite on the original xbox.. This looks amazing but its only a video so you cant judge it..
