Rainbow 6 (Xbox) Pre-Order Goodies
Aramo | 13:30 | Console

Ubisoft is rewarding those who pre-order the upcoming Xbox version of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 with an disc that contains exclusive missions for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon: Island Thunder.

The disc will include three missions - Kola Cell, Vselka, Vselka Infiltration -- for Splinter Cell. The latter two are exclusive to the disc. Kola Cell is downloadable via Xbox Live.

The four exclusive Ghost Recond: Island Thunder missions are Aurora, Riverbed, Roadbloack and Tank.

OK, but does this Disc include the R6 demo, or do you have to buy the 10$ one for that?!?!?!

I went to gamestop and game crazy today. Both said they'd heard of the disc, but that they hadn't been released yet. Also said that this has been pushed back before.

On a side note: I was checking the websites when I got home, and only one (I think it was EB) mentioned the deal. Basically listed it as a $10 rebate when you purchase both.

Went back to check out shipping and all that, and no mention of the deal. Re-checked all the sites I'd been to in case I was wrong about it being EB and no dice.

Anwyay, ship dates listed for the disc are anywhere between today to the 22nd depending on where you look.

When that disc comes out, I'll look forward to downloading the 4 new maps for GR: IT. Hopefully most of us will get the disc and play the new maps on XBL. One would think that all who want to play the levels on Live will have to download them...right?

Rainbow Six: 3 has me pumped up. This game and Links 2004 are the two must buys coming up.

GameStop is getting the Clancy demo disc later this month. My friend is the manager at the local store and they preordered it for me yesterday. It's also on there website, although the release date keeps changing, sounds cool though.

Good info, man. I'll have to check it out in a couple weeks or so. Also, welcome to XBoxaddict! Also known as XBA :)

I went to pre order this and find out what the deal was with the demo disc and the GR IT maps and SC missions. The guy told me the disc will be availble 2 weeks before release of RS3. So i will pre order it then and get the disk.

Duke
09-17-2003, 10:24 AM
EB has amended their ship date to tomorrow, the 18th. Probably wait till this hits the stores to pre-order though.

Don't feel like paying shipping on a $10 disc.

Anyway, we all know how reliave eb can be, so don't take my word for it.

No doubt, and the stores are even worse. The guy at my local EB hadn't even heard of it and couldn't find anything about it on their computer. Stupid kid probably thought I was making it up. :cuss:

Are the GRIT maps going to be playable on LIVE? The maps are exclusive to the disk right, so how do you play these maps with someone online that didnt buy the disk? Will you only be able to play with people who have it, or will it just kick them out of the game when it launches?

Yeah, I'm curious to know if these new maps can be played on XBL. The answer to that would be a make or break deal to me.

Duke
09-19-2003, 10:05 AM
I'll get it either way. Especially considering that I was gonna pre-order Rainbow Six anyway.

I read an article somewhere that these maps were going to be released as dlc. But then to boost the R6 pre-orders, they went w/ the disc. Well, since the last DLC map could be played online, I'm guessing these will be too. Of course I haven't read that they will be anywhere, just a guess.

I am on the phone with EB and they nothing about it. Can someone find out the exact info on this one? :mad:

Supposedly the disk will be finally arriving tomorrow. You pay 10 dollars for the disk, and 5 dollars to reserve the game. When the game comes out, it puts the money you paid for the companion disk towards the game's purchase as well. Basically it's like paying 15 dollars to reserve it and getting a companion disk for free.

Are these maps playable on XBox Live? And do the stores you pay for the pre-order at give you the disc right after you pay for it or are you supposed to get it in the mail?

I tried both spots already. As I previously posted EB in my area doesn't seem to know squat.I tried Gamestop and they said we don't when we'll get it. It sounds like someone on this thread will have by tomorrow. I want to be down with them.

That appears to be the situation for everyone. Most game store employees have no clue about this disc. I guess we have to sit and wait unit theres a thread called "OMG OMG!11!!!!11! I got the ubi disc"

I just contacted another EB and they said they will have in store tomorrow. Doesn't this sound to good to be true or is it just me?

I love how every store in my area has people who have never heard of this, and then even though we both know they have no idea about it, they will continue to make something up, pretending they know what they are talking about.

Is there something wrong with saying "actually, im not to sure on that, sorry" as opposed to "ummmm...welll.... due to the fact that UBI is an american company, and rainbow six was already out for the pc, chances are we might not get it, and if we do, it wont be for a while, unless we get it in one of our next shipments."

I can't believe it. The demo disk could be sold for 39.99 easy. It's deeper than we first thought. RS has Splinter Cell graphics but if you can believe maybe a little better. I played the demo all night. The gunfire, the effects, the lighting, and the different visions made this game look amazing. I can't wait until it comes out. I need some money. :D

Thanks for the impressions. Went in to pre-order yesterday, cause gamestop thought it would be in the shipment, sucks I'll have to drive all the way across town again today, but small price to pay.

I agree, this game at E3 was amazing for what was complete. The graphics were awesome, the controls were fluid, the sound was great and gameplay will be some of the best around for FPS games.

I can't wait for this game to hit the market :D

That makes no sense :huh: The whole point of the demo disc is to "demo" RS3 before it's released and get the splintercell missions and GR:IT maps.

Put 5 bucks down on your pre-order and get your free disc.

it does rock, but there is no way that it's a SLEEPER!


this demo for one thing shows just how much UBI wants to hype the game.........


sleeper hits are unexpected games that come out of nowhere to be incredible....


This game has already been on the pc for months and months and everyone already knows how good it's going to be....... So it's anything but a sleeper hit.

They are 4 new maps for GR:IT. I believe they from the 'desert siege' expansion pack on the PC.

Desert Seige Pics (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/tomclancysghostreconds/screenindex.html?page=1)

Im not really sure if these maps were actually in the 'desert siege' expansion. But i was assuming it, because on the back of GR:IT it says "plus 5 desert missions, downloadable* via Xbox live"

Im assuming those 5 are the one we got XBL and the 4 from the disc. But as rudedog mention earlier, the missions are numbered and theres quite a few spaces. And these new maps are "exclusive", which to me is BS, because Kola cell has been out for quite some time.

So instead of me rambling about this, just do yourself a favor and get the disc. THe maps are huge and they look nice.
