The unit isn't called Rainbow Six.;)

The unit is called Rainbow, which means that it starts and ends in the unknown, ie. it's top-secret, and it occurs as something peacefull and beautifull after a rain shower, which means it clears the situation after the sh!t hit the fan.
Sounds a bit hippie at first, but actually I think it's a pretty cool name for an organisation that does what it does.

The "Six" means boss for whatever reason, so the Six of Rainbow is John Clark, one of the main characters in the book and the dude who reads stuff before missions in the games.

Saying the unit would be called Rainbow Six is a bit like saying the guy in the green outfit would be called "Zelda"...

So this week Ubi is probably going to announce the next Ghost Recon game, when you go to the official GR homepage(here), there's that animation coming up and when you click accept is shows 5 videos of which you atm already watch two.

Some people think it's the Tom Clancy Aerial Combat game which was announced last year, some think it's the next GRAW and some think it is Ghost Recon 3. Here's a good Overview.

Ingame screenshots would be awesome.
Edit:
Today, the paperwork was completed for BFS to acquire a title license Epic's award winning Unreal Engine 3. Yep, you read that right..... We are using Unreal Engine 3!

We will be doing a full press release in the coming weeks, but I thought the wait has been long enough around here so why not share it with everyone... though the Donators have known for a couple weeks now.

I am looking forward to sharing much more information as we transition into this new phase of the company!

It isnt an official statement just yet i think.
The way i read it, they just posted it on the forums so the people could finally know what engine it would be, and an official statement would come on later (wich probably will contain screenshots but i dont know. The reason they didnt post shots before was they couldnt show off any of the stuff because they were not allowed to by Epic, trial-phase and all.)
Still, great enough news that there is at least some news hehe

Well, we made the announcement because we negotiated a deal with Epic for the engine license. Up until now they were allowing us to use it under a special evaluator license and one restriction was the inability to acknowledge publicly that we were using it. Since we are now a full licensee, that restriction does not exist.

As for engine version.. Epic continually updates the engine at least once a month. We are current with them and the plan is to be very close, if not on, the same version of GOW2. We will continue to integrate their updates as long as it is feasible for us to do so. The farther you get into production, and the more custom code you write, the harder it is to integrate raw engine updates in a timely fashion.
