"More Rainbow Six 3 levels to come this week....."

No specific dates and no names given but there's a announcement on the US site that there will be more levels this week. They're probably being more cautious about stating an exact date after the amount of complaints they received from red faced simpletons after the last level was delayed a few days.

For the official annoncement go here..

warehouse remains my favourite, although I'll have to actually play these new maps before I decide (I've only walked round them on my own)

warehouse is much more claustrophobic. this has massive open rooms with catwalks above. this means once you start a battle there ain't nowhere to hide. although you can climb on the roof.

I'm hoping the factory level rivals Warehouse.

Close quarter sounds excellent for suicide runs lobbing grenades everywhere!

Ok I've downloaded them and walked around them for a bit, here's a quick review :

close quarter : Seemingly quite a small map, but with several levels. It's all indoor and the scenery consists of nothing but concrete and wood. As the name suggests it's all very tight, with only short distances being visible at any given time. this should hopefully make campers lives very difficult.

Sharin : Huge factory map. Full of cat walks, secret vents, huge rooms full of boxes, and a small outside area. Very impressive, although it's a snipers dream.

on the whole they should add a bit of variety to the levels we have. I'm happy that even now with these 3 new maps, no 2 play the same.

good stuff

are they now? I'll probably get on 'em after I've had my tea.

they're on now!!

that's one thing R63 is missing - pain sounds. sure, if you shoot someone in the head, they're not going to have much time to complain about it, but the odd yelp or scream as someone is blown 10ft in the air by a grenade would be great for comedy value.

they aren't there yet, I've just checked. Although I did shoot a lot of people to death with an M60, on the carnival level. which was nice.

Yeah baby!

2 new maps available, hhopefully later today...this was posted yesterday though so they might be available now *cums*

"And on a much happier note, two free brand-new maps are set to be released tomorrow, March 23, 2004! The two maps are titled "Sharins" and "Close Quarter" and will provide Rainbow Six 3 Xbox gamers with yet more fun-filled hours of online multiplayer gameplay!"

Ooooooooh sounds like they might even be totally new levels and not based on any of the single player levels.

I don't know if I'll be in later, as yet, but if I am then yeah ...
