I was unfortunate enough to buy Rainbow Six Lockdown, it had to be one of the worse shooters I have ever played. Not the case with R6V. This game is very immersive & will have you hooked from minute one. There are several features that set it apart from other Rainbow shooters & GRAW, which I thought it would be a cheap remake of. First, the "cover position" is great. It allows you to take cover against walls, buildings, cars whatever. From that position you can briefly get a fix on enemies, aim, & or fire. If you get pinned, there is an option to "blindfire". I prefer the terrorists hunt over the story mode, more grit to it. The maps are nice & have good layouts. The AI is adaptive & on par with games like Far Cry or F.E.A.R. There are no health packs, boosters, & best of all none of that run, jump, shoot crap. A few other features are the ability to scale small objects, fast rope, breach moves, & rappel. Now the bad part, your videocard must have shader 3.0, & you need a pretty solid CPU/GPU. I had to upgrade my card. however, there alot of new copies on e**Y for a nice pick up, I bought an unopened dvd for $20 from a guy who still had a 5200fx. I have also played on Xbox 360. This is a great game if your system can handle it.
