Message no. 1 Just a thought, I can't remember if anyone's mentioned it yet but in the
first person/third person arguement, has anyone mentioned Rainbow Six?
I saw it the other day and it might make quite a good game.
Imagine if you will, you create your team, select your gear, plan your
positions, and then play the meet from the various first person POVs you
then either move direct from there to the 'run without the opportunity to
pick up other people, plan or reequip or into the team selection
screen...etc depending on your own preference and the Johnson's (ie the
Johnson might want you to go straight from the meet but if he doesn't you
have the choice.)
The 'run would work in more or less the same way, jump from character to
character, fix AI reactions for team members, run around and generally make
a nuisance of yourself from the corp point of view.
Of course the fact that microsoft have the licence means that it will
probably only available on the X-Box but...

With the mention of MS and the X-box, what you saw is probably Rainbow 6
III.
There's actually a whole series [R6, R6: Eagle Watch, R6: Rogue Spear (R6
2), Rogue Spear: Urban Operations, then a second expansion for RS which I
can't name right now].

Rainbow 6 was a great single player game. Like everyone's been mentioning,
you pick your team (there's named specialist and stock team members), equip
them (later versions have a bigger selection of equipment), plan a route of
attack (Blue Team breaches the entry and secures the first floor, Red Team
gathers the hostages, Gold Team snipes), then once everything looks good on
paper, see if it all blows up in your face (if you plan accordingly, it
shouldn't).

As for Multiplay, it turns into team deathmatch. Only with one hit kills
(Computer aims automaticly for the head).

Well, duty calls.

Apologies if this has already been gone over...I've been out of the office,
and going through my email in reverse. ;)

I'd like to see what would/could happen if Bioware got ahold of the
Shadowrun license and did something akin to Neverwinter Nights. Obviously,
there would need to be more than a few alterations from NWN/D&D to a
Shadowrun setting, but those wouldn't be *too* bad.

You'd get a lot more in the way of a comprehensive experience, and people
wanting to 'GM' for that sort of game would be able to better script
role-playing encounters and events than a 1st/3d person shooter allows you
to do. You'd have a lot more opportunities to do things with your team and
just generally play whichever character you prefer.

Also, on that note, there's always Deus Ex. ;)

I finally managed to play through that one. Includes just about every
conspiracy theory ever heard of. Great story, great conflicts, very
cover-ops-shadowrun-style. I liked it. Now there's Deus Ex 2, I
hear...

I belive you may be thinking of Ghost recon.

No, Ghost Recon is a seperate title. The second expansion actually needs
Rogue Spear to work.
