Rainbow 6: 4, Raven Lockdown on the Rogue Speare.

Looks sexay. Now if only my computer could run it...*counts weeks until he'll have the money to buy new computer*
I had a blog. It sucked.

Graphics are decent. Nearly any engine will look good when you have photorealistic textures to work with as opposed to say, the cartoonish original JK textures from LEC.

Shaders and decent lightmapping are also a plus, but I feel that textures make or break graphics.

woot!

Meh, Ghost Recon was the last good Tom Clancy shooter. Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear were great before that, too. The expansions were always a strength in those series, I think.

Heh - I like Rainbow 6 Raven Shield, but I'm not a big fan of Ghost Recon. I never really played it much..maybe if I spend more than 15 minutes messing with it, it'll grow on me.
woot!

improved graphics
planning stage completely removed
one 4 person team (since no planning stage = no waypoints for ai controlled teams to follow)
missions broken up into really tiny maps
no prone
you ARE ding chavez no switching to that dude who you gave the cool gun to in the setup screen
the ability to use iron sights (as seen in screenshot)
weapon switching is done slightly different... instead of one button for each weapon slot it's one button to switch between primary and secondary weapon and i have no idea how grenades work

Sounds like the Xbox version of Rainbow 6: 3

that's what R6:Lockdown is really... the sequel to the console version of R6:3

and the PC version of lockdown is just like the console version... only without the excessive bloom
