Is anyone up to date on the Rainbow 6 series type games.

I fancy something a bit more tactical, co-op, as in the Ghost Recon type. Had some good games on that with a couple of friends ages ago.

What's the latest  incarnation and is it worth it, does anyone fancy some co-op stuff?

I've heard something about Armed Assault as being the followup from Operation Flashpoint. Not sure if that's what you mean? Otherwise sorry, I'm not completely in to those kind of games.

I used to play Raven Shield and I believed it was a successor to CS. The co-op mode was particularly good. So I'd be up for that. What's the latest in the series?

Don't answer that! I'll go look-see.

The latest Ghost Recon is Advanced Warfighter isn't it? Which is available on PC as well as X360, but I played the demo and found it to be more action-oriented over tactical than the previous 2 games, so you might be better off with GR2 still. Dunno about the Rinbow 6 games. You tried any of the latest SWAT games? They're very tactically oriented aren't they?

I've just checked another forum and they said something about Rainbow Six: Vegas (PC).
This is the first game coming out with the Unreal 3 Engine (except Unreal 3 offcourse :rolleyes: ).
 
@ Doorman, almost all games are about killing, exception: race/flightsims, they're about destruction right? :devil:

I've played the demo of this on the 360 & its pretty good, i'm not sure as to what sorta spec pc you'd need to run it nicely though - Click me for video type action (http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2680)

Last good ones I played were H&D2 and Raven Shield. Oh, and SWAT 4 is worth a look too.

Other than those, they've pretty much been pants. Stay away from R6: Lockdown - it'll make you very sad.
