Fight battles in Britain's corridors of power in a daring rescue at the Houses of Parliament or tackle the nightmare scenario of a terrorist takeover of a subway system.

Maybe it's just an issue they have yet to fix. Don't get all too riled up.

Looks kinda shitty to me. Too much action, too little realism. Could be fun in MP though. smile_o.gif

Looks like it could be alright...but as iNeo said, it will only have around 12 missions, then the game is over.

Hmm. The fact it's due out of the PS2 rings alarm bells for me. There's a big difference between PC realism and console realism... I mean, look at the Rainbow Six series now sad_o.gif

Still, it might turn out alright. I hope it does, if only because I'm sick to the back teeth of almost all tactical shooters being about US forces.

Well, the video shows Johnny Mac and Eddie Stone (I think, he's looking a bit porky).  JM was on the assault team on Op Nimrod and is a good bloke, but ES is a bit of a...

So they've got advisors who know their stuff, but how much that affects the final product is a moot point...

Aye, if there's one thing that can save this game, it's MacAleese's fantastic moustache.

So I guess this is just based on the CT Ops.

Could expansions cover other Ops I wonder...

Looks OK but It better come with a good Mod kit to help it survive past said missions. Then again someone will just make l33t Delta's.....

Looks like a polished Ravenshield to me. To be honest I expect R6-4 to have more features and look better than what I saw in the Regiment trailer, which means Regiment is atleast one year late.

One major problem - Unreal engine ...

I think it's gonna be crap.

Why is that a problem? rock.gif

The Unreal-engines seems stable enough to me with very good performance for the kind of rendering and processing required for these types of games.

You may as well slag it off for having a G in the title if you're going to say "oh, it'll suck because of the engine."

Just thought I'd bump this, seeing as the game is out in some countries. Someone on SimHQ has it and (hopefully) is going to post some impressions later on.
