It was a CG trailer that leaked and was never re-released officially. I think it was used as an internal concept video and not intended for public consumption. I distinctly remember it was from Ubi and it was full CG but made to look like gameplay (classic Ubi). It was circa 2000-2001...was a SWAT team in a train. It was many years before Patriots and Vegas so I don't think it had anything to do with that, in fact it may not have been related to R6 at all.

I remember it being the most mind blowing thing ever and I've always wanted to see how it held up to today's standards. I've struggled to find any trace of it on youtube or elsewhere.

Can you remember where you saw it? If it was at the time (2000-1) it wouldn't have been on YouTube as it didn't exist...and as it wasn't for public consumption/leaked it couldn't have been an fmv on a demo disc or a VHS tape they sometimes gave away with promo stuff on it. Interested to know more about this - might be worth posting on the 'lost media' reddit thread as there are a lot of people on there who specialise in this type of thing.

Someone dropped a link on a forum. Can't even remember which one, maybe an IGN forum. I'll definitely check out the lost media thread thanks

I remember that. It was definitely Rainbow 6. I have a copy on a disc somewhere but hopefully someone else can dig up a link first.

Here it is, horrible video compression and all. Saffire was the developer -- they worked on a few R6 titles and this jaw-dropping (at the time) trailer was meant to be a preview of things to come.

Oh my god that's it. Thank you!!!

I can now see why I was blown away back then. It hasn't aged well but christ it still gets my heart beating today.

Looks like it was going to be a arcade light gun game like Time Crisis.

Yeah looks very similar to that arcade game "Ghost Squad". Still love how that's (to my knowledge) the only game with G36Cs.

edit: by that I mean, actual G36Cs in the arcade machine you can use.

Trailer got trailers today looking like trash.

I thought you were talking about that first Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter live action commercial that had soccer moms returning the game at first cause their kids told them the game didn't look like the commercial lol

I think that's more a result of it being a "proof of concept" cgi video than it intentionally trying to be a light gun shooter.

It's a very 'arcade game' style trailer, meant to draw your attention in a room full of other arcades. I always come out remembering Silent Scope, Time Crisis, and Jurassic Park whenever I visit an arcade.
