Ubisoft announces that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Lockdown is shipping to stores, so apparently the latest installment in the shooter series is gold. The new trailer mentioned in the release is available on 3D Downloads, 3D Gamers, FileFront, Gamer's Hell, and Worthplaying, and there is also a playable PC demo (story). Here's word:

TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX LOCKDOWN™ PC READY FOR RETAIL
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – February 13, 2006 — Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announces that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lockdown™, the latest PC iteration of the award-winning tactical shooter is ready for retail and will be on store shelves across the U.S. on February 16th, 2006.

Ubisoft also released today a trailer focusing on the accessibility and tactical nature of the PC title along with five brand new screenshots.

The Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® franchise, hailed for its immersive single-player and multi-player experiences, continues with Lockdown as Team Rainbow, the world’s premier counter-terrorist unit, is called on to fight a deadly bioterrorism threat. The crisis takes Rainbow into new territory and new situations, as for the first time the hunter becomes the hunted.

All new features, specific to the PC, add to the tensest close-quarter battles ever experienced online. New features include:

• Enhanced Tactical Experience
Ø Deadlier enemies with improved tactics require quick and intense decision making. But move too fast and you’ll find the enemy waiting for you …
Ø Hostages that must be navigated through the level and accounted for during firefights. Keep them safe and get them out alive!
• New Multiplayer Features
Ø “Class Style” game play for multiplayer, allowing more specialization
Ø Multiplayer reward system

Ø The return of three classic maps – 747, Mint and Bunkers
Ø Re-imagined missions, more challenging than ever before
Ø Re-vamped Rivalry Mode: Rainbow vs. Mercenaries, battling over three different objective types simultaneously. No two Rivalry matches play out exactly the same way!
• New Equipment
Ø Enemy use of Lock Fusers in single-player game play presents new challenges to the player
Ø Laser Trip Mines, virus grenades and C-4 explosives add new options to the multiplayer arsenal
• New Weapons and Attachments
Ø 20 new weapons – 42 overall

Hump

Hey Hump blow it out of your ass

Hey! Hey! be nice buttercup...

Get used to it because this battle is just getting started and many gaming companies have already pulled out of the SF bullshit because of it problems

really? Thats weird because a rather large percentage of the over 18 recently released games currently on my system have some form of copy protection beyond a simple CD check (ie the ever evil Securom7 and Starforce). Companies gave early versions a wide berth because of major issues. That just isn't the case now. They wouldnt be in business if the old issues were still happening like they were.

Its assholes like you that live in total denial and its people like you why they keep trying to shove this type of shit down our throats because you are to fucking lame to do anything about it.

no, dude, I'm just a realist. Starforce and Securom7 works to stem the vast majority of casual piracy. Publishers are overjoyed with this turn of events and as long as it continues to work its going to be implemented. Personally I wish it didn't have to install anything other than the game but if the thing isn't doing any damage nor is it affecting performance I'm certainly not going to gibber and whine like a baby and threaten not to buy the game. 99% of the PC games sold are sold to people who don't even have a clue as to what copy protection is, never mind bitching about it enough to make the companies stop. But hey, maybe the fraction of 1% who contnue to rail against this might make a difference if you boycott it eh?

Let me knoww how that works out for you....
