I know these were apparently fairly watered down from the original PC game, but GRAW 1/2 PC were still pretty good. Very slow paced compared to most shooters, but the maps were open enough to allow for different approaches. You could easily get taken down in a few seconds, and each area typically had no more than 7-8 enemies so the fights felt more spread out and realistic. Yes the kill count could also be high, but you really did have to play slow and careful. Lots of small details in that game which I've never seen implemented again.

Also looked a good bit harder after watching gameplay videos of the console versions which looked very spray and pray. The console cover shooter versions over shadowed the PC versions, but the PC games were a lot more tactical and realistic. I will say that GRAW 1/2 PC versions were overlooked, almost forgotten. Rainbow operatives take to the chaotic streets of Las Vegas as an escalating terrorist siege in Sin City threatens to take world terrorism to new, uncontrollable heights. Especially without loosing a team member. Tom Clancys Rainbow Six makes its next-generation hardware debut in the most dramatic installment of the renowned first-person shooter franchise to date.

You could go back and fill the mission with a lot more bad guys, but typically there were 12-15 enemies and it was difficult to pass. A couple of missions I kept failing before I realized I was trying to brute force things and had to change up my equipment to get past certain areas of a mission. Non-linear maps in which you had freedom to move around, multiple starting points, pre-planning, a bunch of commands (team AI could be spotty) some tactics and thinking were required. After playing those two games I played Raven Shield which certainly is a classic. I played both, but never went back to replay them. Stacking up and door breaching was watered down to a gimmick. You had two (2!) guys to command, although there were practically no orders to give them. You'd literally slaughter 150 or so bad guys each mission and run through a linear mission with set pieces. The campaign was essentially Call of Duty.
