by Rainier on Jan. 7, 2003 @ 5:55 p.m. PST

Rainbow Six: Raven Shield features a brand new Tom Clancy storyline in which Team RAINBOW is led all over the world in a string of dramatic operations. The game will utilize graphics technology provided by the next-generation Unreal engine to power 15 new single-player missions that include the discovery of a cache of biological weapons and stopping an armed gang from terrorizing a London bank. Today we serve up a complete v1.1 updated demo (for those few people who actually missed the initial demo) as well as a 'smaller' demo update patch. both quite hefty if size, so grab and beer and relax ... UPDATE : there was a small .dll issue, this has been fixed and the proper files are now available...
