Summary: i want my money back
Review: I feel totally ripped off by this pathetic excuse for an expansion. Ubi, you won't be in business much longer if you don't get your act together.

Say goodbye to this once loyal customer, you lost me.

Summary: Counter-strike still better
Review: I've played ravenshield and boy was it fun!! NOT!!!!!! whole bunch of bugs and almost same stroyline as the first rainbowsix and that one was SENSATIONAL, but hey, a joke is never funny the second time, I spent more than 10 hours playing the first rainbow six and eagle watch(expansion one) this game? lets not go there. but I can say that I enjoyed multiplayer a little, but! I spent 39.99+tax to buy that game and guess what I played my 3 year old counter strike more! overall I can say that this game will have better graphic than CS:CZ but if you look at the bugs and lame storyline I recommend CS:CZ

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It Rocks!
Review: Ive been playing since the original and Raven sheild rocks! Athena Sword adds to the already best online Counter-Terro game.
The awsome muiltiplayer + new levels, guns, and game modes makes this game on the top of my list

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great new maps
Review: My buddy and I love the new maps that come with the Athena Sword expansion pack. We hook up on a LAN and play terrorist hunt for points. We play on a 6 min timer and see who can get the most guys. After we finish with all the maps the guy with the highest terrorist kill count wins. I've read some complaints about the game from people who feel they pack is short on missions. Since I only play it multiplayer, the large selection of maps is great. The AI is also better. The Tangos on this one actually hunt you down. They also lay down, which makes think they are dead. We have been playing this game since it came out and still enjoy it. The expansion pack made it even better. Tango Down!

Summary: Raven Shield is a serious shooter behold
Review: Ok after reading these reviews its quite obvious that the writers have barely played Raven Shield. I've been playing for about 3 or 4 months and I have no complaints but all praise. This game truly does make you work and practice hard to earn kills. Which ups the satisfaction when a kill is achieved. All I play is online so I don't have much to say about single play except the enemies are smart as hell. But the online play is great. Sure there's bugs but not serious bugs but very minor ones that UBI has done a good job of removing. All I have to say is this is the best tactical FPS shooter out right now. Just play and you will get hooked. Guaranteed.

Summary: Wait to order.
Review: Raven shield is a fun game, but it still has a lot of bugs in it. I suggest waiting until they get the bugs fixed in the origional game before buying an expantion pack for it. Also, the origional game had 15 single player and 6 multiplayer maps. The rest of the maps out there are mods so if they include new modes of play, those modes probably won't work on moded maps unless the maps are upgraded individually. So, again I suggest waiting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hmmm.....
Review: Raven Shield is a great game, to say the least. This expansion pack sounds great, if you do multiplayer levels. If you don't, then it's $30 for an 8 level campaign (plus 3 classic missions). If you do alot of multiplayer gaming, there's 8 new levels and 5 new modes, and seven more weapons (it's definately worth it for that).

It will also feature more realistic weapon noise (the Matrix sound effects team helped out on this one).

If you're wondering about the campaign, it's a continuation of the game's. The objective is to wipe out Gospic's organization, from it's roots. (There's missions in Croatia, Italy, and Greece)

I give this a pre-release four stars becasue of the fact it only has 8 missions, and a relatively uncreative campaign. I would expect the missions themselves to be challenging, but many people wanted the campaign to feature current events. Maybe next time. But I can't complain too much- Raven Shield is a great game with excellent graphics, detail, and control. If you haven't bought it yet order both Raven Shield and this pack!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best game in the series
Review: Raven Shield is by far the best game in the Rainbow Six series, and as we all know the expansion packs only proves to make it better.

I don't understand why so many people believe there to be a large amount of bugs in the game - I've only run into two, myself, and those happened during online play. It's no more buggy than any other game. As for this other reviewer at the bottom of the page, this game IS the EXPANSION to the SEQUEL to Rogue Spear, which is Raven Shield. If you believe Rogue Spear to suck, then you obviously are appealed only by graphics. Raven Shield retains every good aspect from Rogue Spear, except maybe the fact that you can climb onto objects in Rogue Spear.

Honestly, however, this game is an almost perfect sequel. Most sequels take the old game and completely distort it, with the only thing still intact being better graphics. This game has AWESOME graphics and very fun gameplay - playing online is the best.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Buggy with No Support
Review: Raven Shield is fun. Dealing with all the bugs, lies and crappy patches is not. This expansion is too expensive and promises no bug fixes. I am waiting for about two weeks after the release to buy or not. I suggest you do the same.
I have played since the demo and Ubi has the worse support you could ever imagine. We had 3 months of silence from them. They then released a patch to include a wallhack. They company is terrible and they release patches that add bugs, without fixing them. Theres terrible trigger lag which they simply gave a cosmetic fix too. Sometime your gun fires 1-2 seconds after you push the trigger.
Wait and See!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Wasn't worth the money
Review: Some nice new features and everything. But for a Map Pack, these maps were horribly optimized. People with the best computers get 10 FPS with everything on low on alot of the maps. Good maps and nice layouts, but horrible horrible optimization.
