Anybody else have this for XBox?
And if you do, do you play XBox live with it?
Leave me your gamertags if you do so I can play one of you :O!

Is the game any good? I am going to buy an XBox here soon, and am looking for a few good games to get with it.
It kind of sucks offline, but if you have XBox live it owns all.
It's so fun with teammates that are alive and mic communication + tactical shooter = the best.
+ it's not just missions.
There's FFA and Team FFA type matches, called Survival and Team Survival.

That was invented many years ago, it's called Counter-Strike (they have it for xbox too).

Counter strike is no tactical shooter.
It's run and gun. With some physics.
If you have played any Rainbow Six game, you'll know what I mean.
Plus counter-strike sucks. :)
[edit] No wait, someone is going to put me down for not stating that it's an opinion.
In my opinion counter-strike is the most overrated piece of garbage in existance. (Note: not the biggest piece of garbage, just the most overrated one for those of you who can't read.)
Overrated? Hah only to those who don't play it. Every I know that plays it hates it, steam blows.
I don't see how many more tactics you can have, flashbangs, smoke grenades, regular grenades, night vision, shields, sniping, choosing the appropriate skin for the map to blend in, shooting through walls, there's so much.
I never said there was any lack of variety, it just doesn't come together well for me. It's too fast passed for a tactical shooter, too slow for an FPS. I just think it blows.
It's way too fast for a tactical shooter. i.e Rainbow Series
And way too slow to be something like Quake III. (That is really fast)
It's inbetween.
And people that are inbetween suck! :)
+ you can run and gun and it's just so unrealistic.
If you try to run and gun, if they are more then 10 feet away from you, you most likely won't hit shit.
+ Rainbow Six 3 has tear gas, and that shit is trippy to walk through. :P
i got rs3 for xbox and i also got xbox live :)

Gamertag? :)
I'm gonna pwnzorfy you asap k? ^^
My gamertag is MitosisDesigns. We can play CS. CS has some problems though. You can shoot a guy in the arm with the Snipermagnum and they are dead. So un-realistic.

Not really. Shoot someone in the arm with a .50 cal sniper rifle and see if they can move any other part of their body. The shock would be way more than your body can handle. They assume you lie there and bleed to death? :P
I know but its stupid. You just die instantly. Like say I shot you in the foot with the Sniper Magnum, and you died. Wouldnt you think thats a little dramatic?

I don't think it's immediately lethal for footshots. I've survived hits from it (in 1.5, but I don't think they changed it).

I don't like the idea of steam, having to download stuff, but with a fast connection it's nice. I went to a new computer, downloaded steam (0.5 meg), logged onto my account, and selected to install CS. About half an hour later I could join games. It should just be optional because of the problems with slow links.

Does Ghost Recon count? I'm not sure what a Rainbow Six game is like. How do you define a tactical shooter?
Shouldn't it be Rainbow Nine by now? :p

Rainbow Six 3 shows the guns. Plus the bad guys / models are a helluva lot better looking.
And that's the first time I've seen Skywing make a funny :O

I like not seeing the gun, if there's a dickhead somewhere in there that are you aren't going to be like "omg where the hell was he?!!".
And I like ghost recon better. In Raven Shield they make you do the plan beforehand, in Ghost Recon you get to order the other guys around during the mission. And the missions are generally on a much larger scale. So having better looking models doesn't really matter too me.

You can order them in game too.
Point to an area on the screen and either PUSH A, hold A and select a command, or tell them a command through the microphone.
Yea, but you can't go to the map view and plan and re-plan an assult anywhere on the map. More control==better!

Still it happens sometimes...I shot this guy in that area and he died instantly. And when you dont die instantly its pathetic, you got like 5 HP left.
