Rainbow Six Lockdown - sorry PC fans...

Post by weemadando »

Ubisoft appears to have once again given PC gamers the arse, with the latest round of press releases for Lockdown, in addition to knocking the game back 3 months, also failing to mention a PC release (that had been previously announced) and adding a Gamecube release.

So, following GR2 going away and this - who still loves Ubisoft?

I dunno, while Lockdown looks cool, from all I've heard about the X-Box version of R6, it's much more action oriented than the PC version. So as much as I'd like to play a R6 game where you get to know the cast a bit better, I still rather prefer the style of the PC version just a little bit more. Besides, Raven Shield/Athena Sword have very nice graphics and gameplay.

Just play SWAT 4. At least it has AI. I mean Raven Shield is fun, as long as you play co-op so you don't have to worry about the stupidity of teammates.

SWAT 4 didn't impress me in the beta, though I suppose I could try the demo again.

Co-Op in R6 is great once you get a good server or team going :)
