(The original pc version was called rainbow six: raven shield, then the console version was just rainbow six. Then the console version of rainbow six 3 came out, so to make things simple they decided to name the pc version rainbow six 3: raven shield. Go figure)

Just thought i'd make this clear for anybody out there who's mind has been farted on like mine was earlier. I think it will be days before i can think straight

As far as I can see there are no other Rainbow Six games titled Raven Shield. There's a Rouge Spear, but that's an expansion pack for the original Rainbow Six.

As an interesting aside, the addresses used for Raven Shields key verification are:

216.98.52.30
gscdkey.ubisoft.com

If a nefarious haxing type person were to add these to thier hosts file, they would not have to bugger about blocking things with firewalls.

I noticed that berk had dropped the mappack, so I uploaded it there.

blimey, that was fast, I deleted it last night assuming i'd hosted it somewhere else by now.

Steam, 5 quid.

Yes I bought the R6:Gold pack on Steam a while back, but it's unplayable for me at the moment. I haven't had a chance to try it since moving to Fista, but before it would give me a GPF error every time I started it. fuckers.

Seems to run okay on W7, just need to disable fullscreen in the ravenshield.ini

Yeah I'll give it another go when I have time. Ravenshield was a hell of a lot of fun.

My personal vote is we go for Athena Sword, especially when its in the £5 pack on steam

I didn't get an Athena Sword key with mine as far as I know. I'll have to check.

Its Rainbow Six 3 Gold Edition on steam, which is both games.

Yes Ty, I know that. I have both games in my Steam account already. People have complained about not getting an Athena Sword key though, and I never bothered to check because it always just crashed anyways. I will check in a second though.

Just looked and it appears the issue has been sorted. I hadn't noticed due to lack of looking.

I'm sorry almighty deject, I must have been mistaken for once in my life

And it doesn't crash anymore either! I am ready and waiting for some R6 goodness.

DO IT NOW!!!!!

GET TO THE CHOPPA!
