Im not even going to pick up Rainbow 6. I've had nothing but a boring and miserable time with it. It will probably get a lot of praise because its a tom clancy game, but I didnt care for it. It felt like it was in developement for like 6 months and thats it. I dont know which had worse AI, R6 or COD3. Every online match I've played I got booted. One kid said I was cheating cause I killed him all the time. Another time it was me and another guy going through terrorist hunt and we both got booted cause the host died in the first three seconds. Im not a graphics whore, but it looked like I was playing a xbox game during multi. I dont know, there has to be something better coming out than this game. I know I didnt really help, but I couldnt recommend either game. Unless your a diehard fan of either one.

Picked up RS:V last night, and it's really quite amazing...haven't played multiplayer yet, but single player is freakin rad. It has quite possibly the most impressive audio in any game ever. Anyone with a surround system will be in heaven with this game. seriously.

Thumbs up Cod3

All I can say is that you won't be dissappointed with COD 3. I've never owned a console until I went round to a mates for dinner and he showed me Xbox COD2 and I new I had to have it.
So 2 weeks later I'm hooked and up to Chapter 6 of COD3......it's incredible on HDTV. Imagine being live in "Band of Brothers" or " Saving Private Ryan" and you get the idea. The Graphics, Sound, Music and realism are simply awe inspiring. Its also bloody difficult!:

yea except vehicles in multiplayer, alot harder, can pick up grenades and throw them again,and and and..... well you get the idea. I think CoD3 has many more things added from CoD3. After getting it, I'm starting to think I should of said CoD3 instead of Rainbow 6.
