It's a good game. I enjoyed playing it and diving into the memories of the childhood. No surprise it was hard for me back then. It is still hard now. You have to do a lot of planning and understand the level well. One minor mistake and you have to replay. Moreover, I liked the story and classic Clancy's vision of world cooperation against terror and fascism. The world we never had or lost somewhere on the way.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 Gold stands as a hallmark of classic tactical shooters—delivering intense realism, methodical gameplay, and a gripping counter-terrorism experience that remains influential nearly two decades after its release. Bundling Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield with its two expansions, Athena Sword and Iron Wrath, the Gold Edition offers a comprehensive package packed with missions, weapons, and tactical depth. The campaign thrusts you into the boots of a Rainbow operative tackling terrorist threats around the globe. From rescuing hostages in urban environments to defusing bombs in industrial complexes, the narrative unfolds with high stakes and tight pacing. The story is straightforward but effective—it’s all about planning, precision, and execution. Rainbow Six 3 shines with its combination of pre-mission planning and real-time tactical combat. You meticulously plan every breach, assign waypoints, and set synchronized actions before the operation begins. Then, the heart-pounding execution phase tests your strategies under fire. The game’s difficulty is punishing, demanding patience, teamwork (with AI or friends), and smart use of your operators’ unique skills and gear. The AI, while sometimes inconsistent, generally provides challenging enemies and responsive teammates. Cover mechanics, realistic weapon recoil, and sound cues all contribute to immersion, rewarding slow, deliberate play over run-and-gun tactics. The inclusion of multiple paths and approaches gives each mission replay value and creative freedom. The multiplayer modes in Rainbow Six 3 Gold extend the tactical experience online, with classic PvP modes that emphasize teamwork, communication, and map knowledge. The community was active for years, thanks to the game’s solid netcode and balance. Solo players will appreciate the included AI teammates, but the game truly shines when played with friends or skilled online partners. For its time, Rainbow Six 3 featured impressive graphics and detailed environments, from Middle Eastern compounds to European urban sprawls. The sound design is a standout: footsteps, gunfire, and voice commands all create a tense and believable atmosphere. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 Gold remains one of the finest tactical shooters ever made. Its blend of strategic planning, realistic gunplay, and challenging scenarios set a high bar that many modern shooters still aspire to. The Gold Edition’s generous content and expansions make it a must-play for fans of the genre and those interested in the roots of tactical, team-based shooters. While it shows its age in some AI quirks and graphics, the core gameplay remains deeply satisfying and rewarding.

My god what an amazing game!! and the custom maps are just awesome!

i have no nostalgia for this game. R6 3 is absolutely unmatched by any modern titles in terms of tactical goodness. While weapon feedback has improved over time, the core of what makes this game so good and the cohesion of the elements is fantastic. a campaign with a roster of soldiers to manage. loadout building for your team. a planning table that is masterfully made, and allows you to also play as if there is a genius commander behind the scenes with prebuilt plans that you can deconstruct for your own spins. a great variety in the campaign missions and what they entail. moments that demand repeat playthroughs to execute your plan just right. This is a brilliant gem of a game untarnished by time.

Legendary game from my childhood. Plenty of mods and community support to keep this going for a another 25 years

Idk man, this game is boring

Still the best R6 game. RLC forever

Still a blast to play.
