    I fancy some gun based gaming but I like coop really. I remember thinking raven shield was pretty realistic and I am downloading the latest patches. Does anyone still play? Has anything changed?

    I remember loving that game myself. I was also considering blowing the dust off it and giving it another go since I don't buy new games as often as I used to a few years back.

    I've heard though that some of the newer systems have problems running the game--so there's a bit of a fix that you'll need to look up if you run into that.

    But now you've got me wanting to play RS again, Jess :).

    Yes - I still play Raven/Athena Sword every day. Very good graphics although the AI isn't the best. I have had to revert back to the old Red Storm games, and SWAT 4, because of the recent crap from Ubi - R6 Vegas being the joke that it is. There are quite a few patches on Ubi for Raven - Athena Sword includes some of them.

    No problem not having Athena Sword - it didn't add much anyway. It did add the Beretta 93/select fire pistol. The 3-round burst has a nice sound associated with it. Occasionally I will use it in close quarters. Not a bad game for the price I paid for my second copy - $18!!
