Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six®

I loved this game in college for two reasons-the realism when you shot your target (realistic bullet hole and blood smear) and the amount of planning you can use to accomplish the mission. A true classic.

first of all, this game is very impressive choice crew member, setting the weapon, planning the operation, and begin. defusing bombs, rescue hostages. eliminate all terrorists. but please don't make useless noise if not mission failed.

Like most gamers immediately upon release of this game I fell in love with the concept. What self respecting FPS gamer couldn't love an ultra realistic shooter? So like everyone else I knew I rushed out and picked up a copy, happy in the knowledge that thousands of reviews were screaming 'most realistic FPS ever'. Indeed, for it's time it was very realistic, as far as bullet damage goes. Multiplayer made the game, single player destroyed it. It seemed no matter how light I was, no matter how carefully I checked corners, how slow I went, or what my team mates were doing terrorists could always whip around 180 degrees and shoot me dead, or at least horribly wound me if I ducked back around the corner fast enough. This experience repeated itself again and again, and lead to my renaming the game to Corner Death Syndrome. Eventually I ran the following test. The map had an airstrip, with an aircraft on the end. On the other end was a shack the player starts behind. Underneath the aircraft facing away from the shack was a terrorist holding an AK-47. Upon peaking around the corner, the terrorist does a sudden 180, and shoots me in the head. Repeated retries resulted in more instant kills, the occasional light wounding, and on a couple unexplainable occasions the terrorist didn't turn around and allowed me to shoot him in the back. After that test, the cd went in the trash, I have never regretted that choice.

The game itself I have super fond memories of. But the GoG version is a steaming pile of headache. Have spent HOURS trying to get it to run and all it will do is give me a black screen and close. Tried every suggestion on the forums, tried multiple other options. Had the problem on Windows 7 and Windows 10 computers. Nothing will work. GoG should be ashamed for selling this. My first and last purchase from them.
