The first Black Arrow thread? what the hell?

I've just clicked 'confirm order' and am eagerly awaiting this surely instant classic. Dusted off the old headset recently and started playing RS3 in preparation for the newest installment.

So who's got a copy on order? How many of you geeks have already planned your clans/squads out. Which one of you lucky people gets to a enjoy a bullet from my SA80 to the back of the head, in a game of domination on the new maps?

I'd like to join a clan actually, I think if your in a clan already you'll really benefit the features of Xbox Live 3.0.

I've spoken to quite a few Americans who have it and they all say it's excelent, shame theres only one new gun though.

They also said that Ubisoft have enhanced a few guns and that the 14 new maps are MUCH bigger than the ones on RS3.

I've ordered it from Gameplay (Along with GTA SA, Halo 2 and soon Burnout 3), it's gonna be awesome but i'm not really too excited because it's only got a few little extras.

Should keep me busy until Burnout 3.

I'm not too sure about these huge maps - like IGN said, it means if you're playing with only a few people, it'll get tedious searching for each other.

but I'll reserve judgement til I get it. As for the one new gun, that doesn't really bother me, the selection of guns was already excellent - the only thing that might have been good would have been fixed gun emplacements that you could man, more devastating grenades, or more destructible environments. But I suppose that's something for the proper sequel(s).

Yeah, I did heard that they were planning on releasing a proper sequel (Rainbow Six 3 2 :S) for 2005.

Sadly, I wont be able to play Rainbow Six 3 until 21st (Comes out 20th). I know it's only one day but I wanted to play it on the release, dont matter anyway because i'm getting 1.5 MEG Broadband on the 2nd.

I dunno, I never knew why they called it Rainbow Six 3 anyway.
