In Progress Bros is Rainbow Six 3 the worst Tactical Shooter

Tactical shooters are generally games that require you to use cover, iron sights, and a tiny bit of teamwork and in this dumb old-school piece of shit there's none of that.
There's no time to use cover, there are no iron sights at all and teamwork is just a bunch of sync'ed pre-mission scripts! Clearly Rainbow Six Raven Shield is not the best option currently when it comes to tactical fps.

But I will play this dumb rocket-sciing-bunny-hop-strafing-actually-being-able-to-lean oldschool boring excuse for a FPS anyway. So watch me suck in it if you have nothing better to do.
In the first episode I did both red and green runthroughs. No I didn't do any cool pre-mission plan because the best tactical shooter, Battlefield 3, has no need for bullshit like that.

Bros I just installed the mod which adds IRON SITES to the game! I can already feel it becoming closer to high standards of THE Tactical Shooter - Battlefield 3.

Raven Shield still lacks stuff like health regen, respawns and enemy radar, the elements which make Battlefield 3 the best - but at least it has quest compass every 5 meters just like any tactical shooter should.

Unfortunately you can set up those quest compasses for you and other teams in a whatever way you want and that's the design flaw which is thankfully not present in the best tactical fps, Battlefield 3.

I feel Skyway has been broken recently.

Maybe he got a new job?

Maybe he toils away at a Russian labour camp somewhere in the deep east and video game masochism is the only form of release his overlords allow him. Maybe it's all a coded message and a desperate call for help.

Gotta say, broski, as someone who played R6:3 for a few years, your tactical movement and weapon selection is total weaksauce.

Despite the dodgy AI and terrain, though, playing those missions coop with a good team was totally sick. I think there is still a small online community, 8ish years later.

Guys, playing this subpar oldschool piece of shit makes you really appreciate all the tactical depth of Battlefield 3. But thankfully those iron sites made it twice as tactical!
I really do appreciate that you feel my pain bros, when I started this I was afraid nobody will get what I mean

As the video shows you can even avoid making a good plan in this excuse for a tactical shooter, just shoot through mission how you want

Starting a LP as a statement because DakaSha, in a display of questionable tastes in gaming and of clear enjoyment of the popamole FPS genre, asked if Battlefield 3 is the best tactical shooter, and ignored those who pointed out the stupidity of such a question?

That is as skyway as playing KOTOR 7 times.
