In a nice lil tidbit on the front page ofFileFront we got to see a fun lil reminder of how incredibly stupid some game companies can be

here is a snip

Ubi Soft has issued cease and decist orders to free download sites offering the Raven Spear demo and has opted for a GameSpy/FilePlanet exclusive instead. Unfortunately, this angers thousands of gamers interested in seeing the demo and not interested in waiting 300+ minutes in a FilePlanet line. The First Person Shooter gaming community could be downloading it instantly from other download sites like FileFront, 3D Gamers, and FileShack. Good luck to Ubi Soft in converting all of these pissed off gamers into customers. We hope the exclusive agreement was worth it.

Enjoy your wait fellas, i hope that ubi made the demo that Fookin good

(does not count towards ppw (post per week) for it is interesting news i would relay)

####, Glad to see I got it from 3dgamers before this stunt was pulled.

What is it with all of these comapnies getting in bed with Fileplanet/Gamespy lately? Haven't ANY of these companies realized that NOONE likes gamespy or FilePlanet? Thats why everytime a new game is released and doesnt have All Seeing Eye support, you see the community rallying behind udpsoft to get support for it. GameSpy sucks, FilePlanet is a joke. The sooner people realize this the better off all of us will be I refuse to DL anything from FilePlanet, and havent even seen the site in atleast 6 months. And #### gamespy, I used that when I was new to gaming and didnt know there were options.

hehe good think i have no life and dl'd it as soon as fileshack said they had it.

im glad i never had to wait a queue to find out i cannot play it  

This game is round base only. I do not wast more that 30 sec to respawn and play. So no raven shield for me. Not even a option for respawn, deathmatch CTF,  Just serious realistic toty. If I wanted realist I'd join the army or SWAT team. All i want is a good game.
The do have pretty weapons, and lots of them. "hey Raven you could learn from this."

hehe i'm still downloading from the other server and they still got it

I d/l it off a European mirror last nite... played it for about an hour. Must say certainly not impressed with its playability. It seems awful slow in nature whereas sof2 is relatively quik. However the quickest fps on market still has to be ut. waiting for dnf to see what they will counter in the fps market. GAME CO's PAY ATTENTION, we want no demand relatively true to life speed, good graphics, lots of weapon choice and lots of maps. Moreover if the system is buggy it won't last more than a few days with most players. Don't listen to marketing experts and financial watchdogs ie: accountant/lawyer scum. Put the game out when its ready ie: DNF but make sure it si a quality piece not some #### that you can drum up a few bucks with. I think that the clancy games should have been marketed by a company such as gt interactive or 3drealms... woulda made a better product.

bull####, Ubi can kiss my ###!

Ubi gained some brain cells and the demo is back on other download sites.

In a surprise move, Ubi Soft Entertainment has given us permission as yet to host the multiplayer demo for Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, terminating the original (and rather limited, for regional) exclusive on this file. While in your feedback some of you have expressed the opinion after yesterday's events that 3D Gamers should no longer carry Ubi Soft demos, we feel that our mission to bring you relevant information and vital downloads for all 3D games is more important in the long run. So with that out of the way, feel free to download the Rainbow Six: Raven Shield demo from 3D Gamers.
