This being a console site, though, let's look at the latter. Raven Shield on PC is an exceptional game, as is the vanilla Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox. Games like Operation Flashpoint and ArmA pushed the painfully-slow military shooter to their zenith, but this was the acceptable face of indulging your spec-ops side. Didn't matter that the game is half orienteering sim, half shooter - it's wonderfully 'authentic', has some excellent set-pieces, and genuinely rewards patience and smart tactical thinking. But back at the turn of the millennium, this was primo-PC gaming. It's a rather slow, rather ugly game where the tactical shooting doesn't quite make up for the visual and presentation shortcomings. Ok, so, the original Ghost Recon doesn't really hold up by today's standards.
