Things I hate about RS3:

[rant]
1. Where's the rate of fire selection for the automatic weapons? You can only simulate single-shot or burst by how quick you pull the trigger.
2. Where's the choice of weapon add-ons like sound-suppressors, larger ammo clips, and mini scopes? You get what you're given with the weapon. Complete *****e.
3. The single-player levels are more confined and more restrictive in the order of completing objectives.
4. The enemy AI on Elite is complete *****e, can't imagine how bad it is on Veteran or Recruit.
5. Where the h3ll is the prone position?
6. Team members don't die, there just incapacitated and up and ready to fight in the next mission no problem.
7. Explosive barrels? How unimaginative is that?
8. Defuse mp mission? Where?
[/rant]

Things I like about RS3 over the PC version:
1. Shadows are good and accurate weapon modelling in the shadow.
2. Dieter Webber sounds like Arnold.
3. Sounds are excellent.
4. Rag-doll physics are improved.
5. No stealth missions (although can be fun sometimes, it can be a pain on Elite on PC).

There might be other things I like and hate about the game, but that about somes it up. This game is dumbed down in the extreme from its PC counter-part. While the online mp game is fun it still suffers from the limitations mentioned. The developers made this game to be like a CS style of gameplay (though movement is still more restrictive in RS3) and, although it might appeal to a wider audience, CS will beat this hands-down. I expect the RS6 series to be a more realistic type of game, not to move towards a more arcade feel.

I think I'm going back to Ravenshield on PC, despite all its patches and occasional server problems and I eagerly await a cheat-free CS on Xbox.
