Yeah, i wasn't a huge fan of Vegas either. Raven Shield was probably the last game in the series that actually felt like a Rainbow Six game. Whist Vegas 1 & 2 are decent games, you can tell they take more inspiration from Gears of War than the predecessors in the series. I didn't actually mind the new focus on taking cover (i didn't love it either though). The part i disliked most was how scripted the levels were. The game just felt too linear for a Rainbow Six game.

Thanks for the recommendation, i think i'll check it out. I used to play OFP to death lol, but I never really got round to playing the expansion packs. Resistance sounds pretty cool .

Hi . Although STALKER is one of my favourite games, it's still a very very flawed one. I've always found the damage to be a bit wonky. Whilst you yourself die pretty quickly, the AI seem to take quite a bit of punishment. I remember shooting a guy in the face and he didn't even flinch, just kep on shooting back lol. Also, shooting an AI in the legs, arms or even chest just seems too underpowered. Though when i play STALKER i often use mods that adjust some of problems i have with the game (such as the damage). I personally wouldn't consider COD 4 particularly realistic, but it did have a nice selection of guns (and mostly with the real gun names ).
