Huge potential, but major flaws

You can read the good stuff on the other reviews. I have to agree with most. The tactical aspect is amazing, planning is fun, very realistic. The levels are way more detailed than you would expect. Definitely feels like the real thing. There are several flaws that turn this possibly great game into a disaster. 1. Bouncing grenades. Grenades bounce back at you. I guess that some of you are thinking "well he just doesn't know how to do it". Real grenades don't bounce back at you, so why should the grenades in the game? It makes this very important tool useless in the game. 2. No saves. Some of you would say, well you have to plan well in advance and you pay for every mistake. But after spending 40 minutes on a mission just to get your soldier dead (sometimes not your fault but game bugs) in the last fight is extremely frustrating. 3. AI is retarded. Sometimes your soldiers will get stuck walking into each other, or trying to climb and descend stairs at the same time rendering them useless for the rest of the mission. If you're unlucky, you can even get stuck in a room and have to abort the mission. Pathfinding is awful in this game, and this is exactly what is important here in this type of game. You can't trust other squads to do what you want them to do, and every once in a while you have to change to other squads to move them around a bit so they would stop walking into walls. 4. Dubious enemies. A terrorist sees his friend goes down and does nothing? Another one gets shot and just keeps standing there? Do yourself a favor, and don't get this game. Not for the 10$ they are asking for it. The game has huge potential, but it is way too buggy (and it's version 1.4!).

DISCLAIMER: Completed Windows10 on Uplay

BUGGY AND BORING: I will be evaluating this game as a gaming experience for people playing it today, not as a product of 1998. While I will not prejudice its obvious backwardness in graphics, mechanics, etc, I will be critiquing the simple experience. Firstly and perhaps most importantly, there are many game-breaking bugs. I am not talking about graphics or clipping, I'm talking about objectives disappearing, characters being unable to move and regular crashes. There were several occasions where missions became literally impossible to complete. I have had to edit the victory conditions in the game files to progress. Secondly, this game does not really promote "tactical" gameplay. It was a step in that direction from the likes of Doom. However, due to the extremely unintelligent AI, this game plays in a very particular way. You have to move extremely slowly, looking all around you before taking a step. You simply repeat and try to shoot enemies when you see elbows. This is why I consider this an "elbow-shooting simulator". Obviously unrealistic but it is the only way when enemies react and kill you instantly. The planning phase is supposed to help you create plans to outmaneuver opponents but it fails. There is no way to reliably sneak up on people, take them by surprise, distract them, overwhelm them with speed. If left to AI, the team will often run to their own deaths. You will have to take over and elbow-shoot a lot. At first the experience was extremely frustrating and I felt I absolutely hated the game because it didn't feel fun to adjust to AI idiosyncracies. The voicing is good and the sound is atmospheric without much nuance or emotion. The sound becomes very annoying after you die for the 47th time. Eventually, I got the hang of it and there were nuggets of fun when you achieve objectives stealthily and avoid most of the action. The bugs alone make it not worth your time and combined with cheap-feeling and unfair gameplay, it's too painful to recommend.

Something old...

I really haven't been a fan of Rainbow Six until I played Rainbow Six Vegas. I thought the other ones had too much difficulty, Annoying AI, and terrible mission layouts. This one though is awesome!!! Get it.
