Just been released with the rest of the Ubisoft stuff.

I remember some awesome co-op back in the day with Ravenshield, but this was a while back.

Will there be any investors in the Steam release? Its only

It's not 3.74 for me (7.50 on this side of the pond), somebody should gift it to me so we can play :) (Shh, don't tell anybody, I purchased Mass Effect instead)

here to kill your monster
where i am im lucky for games getting massivly reduced in stores - i bought the gold edition copy for less than that price as a backup a couple of years ago.
I still play both coop and advarsarial fairly often- this, RO and 'cong are the old dependable online games in my collection.

so-so i guess, 105 not bad considering it's midday.

Thank the change of direction of sequels lockdown and vegas for numbers that have been fairly consistant for last few years
You'll find a dependable hardcore - remember RVS is still many ppl's favourite game.

What also helps is coop which can be fun with just a couple of players - and max server size of 16 for tdm means less ppl required to get quite a few servers going of course.

Although again i can't see why ppl would need that much convincing to buy a proven winner at this price

How do you get the custom maps? I see some of those in that list are not stock. I remember playing some customs back in my Rogue Spear days, but it's hard to remember how it was done exactly. Is it just like a redirect kind of thing?

since when do i have to give steam my name, adress and phone number?
i want to pay with paypal (wanted to purchase r6 rs) and made up a fake adress (real zip codes and all) but "an unexpected error" occurs. do they check if what you tell them matches with what you told paypal?

any files you need when you join a server are loaded in the usual 'unreal' style in the process of joining - you don't need to leave the game.

btw - i dont think anyone plays athena sword online ( or that exclusive fileplanet free addon iron wraith, which i think no longer works anyway)
however if enough ppl here get this game phaps some athena sword coop missions can be arranged....

A word of caution to anyone thinking of buying the gold pack on steam:

Only 1 CD key is supplied which only works for Ravenshield multiplayer. Athena Sword will not accept the key.

Valve claim to be working on it but this was early November. Such as shame as i purchased this for the Athena Sword online content.

Man, why do they call in Rainbow Six 3? Ofcourse it is, but now it reminds me of the console version :p
Just call it Raven Shield damnit Steam!:p At first i thought they ported the console game over, i was like noooes.

Anyways, as soon as i get access to a creditcard (still dont got one lol, to lazy to get one) i'm gonna buy it. I already have original Raven Shield but i got it from a friend and there was no cd-key with it, so i still have to go online like a criminal on non-PB servers only.

But, Athena Sword isnt included in this pack i hear?

Drm on bioshock was patched out. Stalker Clear sky lists the following - 3rd-party DRM: TAGES™
5 machine activation limit. So unlimited installations for 5 machines. And I'd eat my hat if they didn't patch that out before you reached 5 machines.

For this public service announcement, you can gift me R6 3 :)

Just get a Paypal account for Steam. You can transfer money from your normal bank account to your Paypal account, and then use that for Steam.
