Rainbow Six 3 packs a new map

More Downloadable Content (which we're capitalising these days, apparently) for Ubisoft's squad-based Xbox shooter.

Rainbow Six 3 owners will be able to download a new map next time they log on to Xbox Live, we found out this morning. This third and latest bit of Downloadable Content is thankfully free and is called "Meat Packing Plant". We're not saying anything. Previous levels were called "Garage" and "Carnival".

Although we had planned to try it out before telling you about it, Kristan can't get Xbox Live working this morning due to a Skills Related Issue (SRI). I don't really play Rainbow Six 3 much, and I haven't played the new level myself, but I thought it was brilliant. [How does that work? And you can piss off, too! -Ed]

Reports from people who have actually played it suggest it's good, too, although I've seen at least one person asking for some more co-operative maps for the next batch of DLC. Ubi? Want to field that one?

Back at the end of last year Kristan really rather enjoyed playing Rainbow Six 3, which is a bit like equally wonderful PC title Raven Shield except with an entirely new set of levels. Is that... CLEAR?
