New Black Arrow Xbox Live map News

Xbox News by Tom Bramwell

7 October, 2004

Ubisoft has released a freely downloadable multiplayer map for its budget-priced Xbox Tom Clancy-thon, Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow - which it also claims is the most popular game on Xbox Live right now - and plans to release a premium "Assault Pack" of four more multiplayer levels in due course.

The new, free map is called Village, and is set in the Italian seaside, er, village of Levanto. Apparently it's suitable for 10 players or less. We haven't had a chance to check it out yet though because we can't find the Black Arrow disc and our heads are still pounding from last night's gyratory exertions in blonde wigs.

However, since it's free, it can't hurt you to have a look yourself really, can it? And we'll be sure to let you know when the Assault Pack is out, and indeed what's in it. For now, all we can tell you is that in pricing terms it'll fall into line with other premium Xbox content, which means it should cost you £2.99 or thereabouts.

Yay, first! It doesn't really affect me though, of course.

Let's hope that Shyamalan character has no involvement with this particular village; otherwise it will promise much but - inevitably - deliver very little.

I read this as 'New Black Lamp' out of the corner of my eye.

That got me excited.

The map is actually best with as many people as your server will allow, nice addition. The odd thing is when you download it, it's pitched as a sniper map, but the reality is heavy close combat weapons are king here - even the semi automatic shotgun becomes a serious threat. Snipers on this map get grenaded or shot point blank from behind!

It's a really good retrieval map too, just the right mix of cover and open ground for a bit of ducking and diving when you're carry the cannister.
