Rainbow Six 4 Gets a Release Date

The wait may soon be over for fans of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six games. Two months ago it was announced that the next title in the long running series, titled Rainbow Six 4: Lockdown, is headed to pc's and major consoles in Q2: 2005.

Its been more then 2 years since the release of the last Rainbow Six title, so today's news of an actual release date (March 15, 2005) has fans salivating for more information. March being only a few months away, major retail outlets such have already started taking pre-sales.

I for one will be itching to learn more details about this game as they unfold. No matter what, Rainbow Six adds itself to the already impressive Spring 2005 Tactical Shooter (Swat 4 and Ghost Recon 2 already confirmed) list and only time will tell how it fairs...

I think the frag lock worked just fine on Rainbow Six 3.

I hate the way people bash RvS. Can't wait for Lockdown to be out, hopefully it will shut some people up. Or probably not, there will always be something to complain about.

I'm only speaking the truth. Where were you when the 10 screwed up patches came out. I am not speaking of RVS, im talking about UBI which i'm sure 90 percent of the people will agree.

I gotta agree.... The fraglocks and prime locks arent happening as much, but I still get them. And the gimping to the face, thats gotta stop too... Not sure what they would have to do about that, but the weapons need to do what the numbers say theyre gonna do... How many ppl have ever gimped someone to the face with a damn .50? i mean come on!

but it's something we've learned to deal with, but we shouldnt have to... i hope they fixed that stuff in Lockdown...

for the millionth time, UBI is not making this game for the pc. RSE is handling the pc version personally. So what does UBI have to do with anything? yes they put out a game filled with bugs (that most of us love anyway), and yes most of the patches they put out sucked and made things worse. But again, they don't have anything to do with the pc version of the game so i dont know why you are complaining about UBI in reference to this game (RS4).

I thought Red Storm Entertainment was only making the console versions and not the pc version.

One bad egg doesn't ruin the dozen!

Its a shame the Game Devs dont listen to the Die hard fans...If they had listening and changed things that 90% of people wanted then im pretty sure that rvs would still be rocking with 10000 + people playing every hour...

Im taking it that this release date is for the consoles Its becoming a fashion now that pcs are put in second place over the pos consoles.

Do you know what your talking about? You're saying they put out crappy patches but have nothing to do with the pc version.

Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. is a Ubisoft Entertainment company

RvS 3 was a great game. My original post was just referring to how the game went downhill cause of crappy patches and support. Steam has promised a weekly update for HL2/CS:S. RvS players were lucky to get 3 updates a year. You think RvS4 will be any different.

Before you decide to speak when grownups are talking, dont.

i do know what im talking about and im 28 freaking years old so before you decide to pull that 'grownup' crap maybe you should actually know who you are talking to. When i said UBI is having nothing to do with the PC version i was talking about RS4 not Raven Shield. The two companies my be owned or run by the same people, but they have completely different development teams and it was a link on these very forums to an interview with the people making the goddamned game and they stated that UBI soft is NOT going to make RS4 for the PC. RSE's development team is doing it themselves, like they did with all RS games before Ravenshield. So go tell RSE they are wrong cause thats where my info came from. not only are you wrong, you are an arrogant ass.

Wow take a deep breath. Do you think I have time to read every post on here. I have a real job and responsiblities. I don't sit around in my PJs all day drinking milk and watching Anime with Eminem playing over the headphones. When you grow up you'll understand. Until then accept that you were wrong. I have.

No way jose, that is the BIG thing about Lockdown. Ubisoft will not have their hands in the PC version, Red Storm is! I have great faith in Red Storm!

ISDP that isnt very nice!

it's funny that you are still incorrect, other people have backed up the fact that you are incorrect, i hate eminem, anime is over-rated braincandy, i have a real 45-50 hour a week job, i pay my bills, did i meantion you are still wrong, and you are still an arrogant ass. and also wrong. have a nice time making yourself look like a bigger ass by refusing to back down from a point that you were mistaken about. oh yeah, right after you get done being wrong.

I hope RS4:LD is a lot better than RvS. Don't get me wrong, I love RVS and have been playing for 2 1/2 years strong now. However, I am just upset with the lack of support from Ubi that the game has gotten. Plus all of the bad "war stories" told by people who did beta testing for the patches. That and the inability to "create" frag lock. Obviously these guys don't play outside of their inner office LAN that spans 4 cubicles, all plugged into a nice switch. I'm pretty sure enough lag can be created to cause frag lock. ...Port scanners HAVE to be good for something these days, aside from making someones fire wall freak out.

I Love RVS, I just don't love the lack of support from Ubi. I do have some faith in RSE. I just hope they don't make the game copy CS, because thats kind of how the console looks, and doing that to a game like this would only destroy a solid, hard-core gaming community.

How can I be wrong when you're already wrong. It's ok to make mistakes.

To Humble Assassin: ISDP that isnt very nice!

wrong

Wow, you two are ridiculous, and it's people like you that completely RUINED the RVS community. STFU and simply reply to what the post wanted, JFC.

In case you didn't notice, Red Storm developed RVS (hence the Giant Red Storm Logo on startup) AND they will be developing Lockdown.

I, personally cannot wait for the game. Even if they only update it as much as they did RVS, it will still be better, simply because it will have more to do, more guns, more options, plus I hear there will be a character customization option?

UBI is UBI, and will always be UBI, so don't expect the once a month patches and updates from them.

REdstorm actually didn't make Raven Shield, they only published it. i talked to Bullettooth about it on MSN about it a little over a year ago cause i was confused. UBI soft has their own Dev team that is seperate from RSE's. RedStorm programers did not touch one line of code for RavenShield. it was all UBI. that is why i am so happy that RSE's Dev team is putting this one together. Because it means we have hope.... and p.s. i was only messing with Beo, and probably he was only messing with me. if we met in a bar i'm sure we wouldn't fist fight or anything...lol its just fun being obnoxious. can't you tell from my last couple posts that i was kidding around? jeez man....

RSE will do a much better job of this and UBI's dev team. They are two different divisions in completely different locations. Publishing will be by UBI so i'm sure future patches will be controlled by them.

why is it that everytime TWL post's some kind of news, three or four replies in theres rants, then about 5-7 replies in theres aan argument? just wondering, look at the pattern.

TC said that UBI will be doing the patches for this game. So what's changed, nothing...just like I stated way back. Fugga UBI !!!

TC has spoken Exitwound, so take up defending your case with him.

I'm out suckas.

It's like you're hoping the game fails so you can make another post about how bad UBI is. Nobody can bash a game that hasn't even been completed yet. Just everybody chill, play some BF2 or SWAT 4 until RS4 comes out. By that time you'll be into such a heated frenzy against EA and VU, you'll forget all about how bad UBI is :-)

Didnt ubi also FIRE the entire Dev team for RvS 3 months after the last patch..or something like that. I know they fired the entire Dev team, just cant remember when. and Beowolf... YOU are WRONG!!!!!! ;P
