A host of revisions and improvements propel Raven Shield way past the original R6 games in design and playability, making Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield the new benchmark in tac sims. [June 2003, p.82]
Rainbow Six 3: Gold is Raven Shield and Athena Sword. Additionally you can download Iron Wrath expansion on **** its free. Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow is the console version but they do share attributes for sure.
The best part about Rainbow Six 3 is that its still online in 2021. After almost 20 years. With updated content like maps, guns, sights and scopes, hd hit effects, models and missions. Literally there are thousands of maps. Some great brand new ones from 2017-2021 and even more coming soon.
Rainbow Six 3 is known to have the best coop experience. Even compared to SWAT 4 say. Both games that were considered to be like brothers so to speak. Came out around the same time, nearly the same engine though Swat 4's version of Unreal 2 is more like 2.5. R6 3 being more deadly, more elite obviously than Swat would be.
The sheer fact that you can do so many different mission objectives, so many different styles of maps and settings just really brings this came to a whole new level. We also have combined maps from original 1998 Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear and several of those expansions. Even R6 Vegas!
On top of that... you have amazing options for controlling your backup AI. For some information on that you can check out the community Discord at **** if you want more detail. There are some people who just let the backup AI follow them around instead of using them to their full potential though.
The enemy AI are actually quite advanced. Depending on which map and who set them up. Tangos have 5 different personality traits and a percentage given for each skill. They also have a setting for what to do when they first see you. Some will surrender, run away and bait you (run around a corner and then they will be waiting with another enemy with guns pointed at you hoping that you chase them). Aim and you and fire. Spray at you and fire wildly. They will frag you instantly sometimes as their first reaction. They can also call for backup. They can even hunt you down. They also go towards the sound of your gun if you are not using a silencer. Very cool. Changes the entire feeling of the mission!
The game also has civilians in some levels that you must look out for. Different from hostages. The civilians can still be harassed by the Tangos... they will use them as human shields randomly or the civilians will run into the line of fire if you shoot near them. Its intense.
With the addition of ads, iron sights... the game has the most replay value ever. Especially with the new updates.
Could talk forever about this game... but you are better off joining us sometime for the best coop experience you will ever have.
This game lays the foundation for skills upon which you can then take into almost any shooter, and even real life, and use them to your advantage when needed. Its as hardcore as it gets.

"You're the best of the best. Remember that."
TDLR: This game is so good that after 20 years we are making a brand new game in UE4/UE5 directly inspired by it!
Lets squad up sometime!
The last true Rainbow Six game. Tactical single player action. Very challenging and immersive experience. Extremely wide selection of guns and gear. Deep tactical planning and gameplay. Very realistic gun and damage models.
There are no FPS games that offer such an experience nowadays. The focus today is on money-making, wide-audience multiplayer shooters. Single player tactical shooters do not fit well in this business model and that's the reason why we haven't seen a decent one for almost 15 years (SWAT 4, 2005) ! What a shame. Hopefully, one day a passionate and competent video game studio will take on this task. Maybe then we will finally have a worthy successor to SWAT 4 and Rainbow Six 3.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it quite the revolution it could have been, but it comes close. And in the world of action/stealth/strategy games, the series still has no equal.
Resonates much stronger than Sony's otherwise noble hand at tactical combat. Not only is the game not held back because of certain console-based restrictions (controllers, options available, graphics, etc.), but the game seems to be less about nationalism and more about the dedication and strife anti-terrorist groups must experience.
The underlining story that is supposed to tie the missions together is completely neglected. You just go from one location to another and deal away with potential threats; that's the crux of the matter.
Absolutely brilliant. If you like this also check out SWAT 4. This game is pure tactics. Hundreds of hours of my life were in this game. 10/10 agree, this game is a must.
I'm big fan of Rogue Spear and Raven Shield just updates RS to a new level. Raven Shield has not the same feeling than Rogue Spear had, but graphic and gameplay update does a lot good. Single player works fine. AI should be able to do some counter-attacs too, it would be nice. With Raven Shield, just make your own plans, equip your team and go kick those terrorist ass!
Questo gioco ha gli stessi problemi dei capitoli precedenti se hai un PC potente neanche li avvia questo però a differenza degli altri si avvia vai nel menu vuoi giocare la campagna e crasha bah giochi di merda fatti male proprio.
