Warnings
- The Mac OS X version of this game does not work on Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7) or later due to the removal of support for PowerPC apps.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and third-person action, FPS, shooter and tactical shooter game in the Rainbow Six series.
The official multiplayer service is no longer available.[2] OpenRVS is required to restore online multiplayer functionality for the base game (does not work with expansions Athena Sword or Iron Wrath, which require LAN/VPS based solutions); see below for installation instructions.
