Due to the new Steam sale I'm looking at getting one of the Rainbow Six games, but I'm having trouble deciding which one to grab. So I've turned to The Escapist to see if there's anyone who's had a crack at several and can tell me their favorite one and list a couple of reasons why they prefer it over the others.
I haven't played any of them and have hardly any knowledge regarding Rainbow Six besides it's supposed to be a realistic(ish) game about a counter-terrorism unit that goes and does missions and are really kewl and awesome. The only thing I really know that could help me decide is that Vegas is more "arcade-y" then Raven Shield, but I'm not sure on Vegas 2. So if anyone has an idea on what their favorite Rainbow Six game is or better yet, a really nice comparison of them all, I'd be grateful.
Also, to add some more discussion I'd like to ask what really makes the game stick out for you; whether it be the gunplay mechanics, or the squad ai. Lastly, what game do you feel has the best multiplayer and how does the multiplayer "play out"?
