Been playing this for the last 2 hours and.......I don't really know what to say.
Single player is awful, I mean really dire stuff. Graphically the game looks like SWAT : Global Assault and it plays like it as well.
What the hell have Ubi done?
The whole game just feels like a PS2 game. It looks ugly, not a patch on Black Arrow and it all just feels badly made and cruddy to play.
I haven't tried it online though, hopefully it'll be a different story.

Heh, I've spent a total of an hour on the single player in both Rainbow Six's.
Really not a great thing to play to get a measure of the game.

Have you tried the multiplayer yet?
The only good thing to do on single player on RS3 was terrorist hunt in the Penthouse with just an Mk2.
I did that so many times.

All the missions were playable online weren't they? So why play with the AI if given the choice? There must be stuff to unlock in this one...
Apart from the game looking graphically like a PS2 game, the online player creation mode is a hell of a lot of fun.
It's annoying as hell at firs**t, because jus**t like RPG's you can't shoot for sh*t until you get your power and accuracy up. But once you get those up it's a ton of fun.
Make sure you're on a team with decent people who all talk and you'll have an excellent time. With the new classes it really is a lot more tactical than any of the magazines have given it credit for. Certainly use a lot more tactics than I ever did for the firs**t 2 games.

That's encouraging, as I only would have got it for the online mode. With my birthday on saturday, it seems likely that I'll get it.
Yeah having played the demo there's a lot of tactics and quick change of approches. When I had the cannister I was making sure the other guys were covering me, shouting out where the enemy was and telling them which door I was going to use to score the cannister.
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
My guy's gonna be a freaking meathead by the time I've fully upgraded him. The amount of different things you get as you advance means you're always gonna have something to aim for, which I'm sure will keep the game interesting.
One thing I'm happy about is having the addition of medics in the game has made Team Survival a lot more tactical and enjoyable again. There's also lot more varied paths through the levels, so it's not really a mad dash to get the kills anymore....well not as much anyway.
Only things I'm a bit dissapointed with (other than the graphics) is the gun selection. A lot of my favourites from RS3 like the G3A3, M16 and L85A1 have been strangely taken out the game. Infact there's a lot less guns on offer, which is quite annoying.
Oh and the selection of levels is a bit small at the moment, there's about 8 or 9 available. I'm sure Ubi will release a good amount of content though, eventually.

I'm tempted to pick this up - but like GR2:SS, I fear it'll go unplayed after I've parted with the cash.
Damn Blizzard.
